the great gatsby

Chapter 505 The feast begins!
Nearly a month after the start of the playoffs, Madison Square Garden finally had the atmosphere of the playoffs, because this time ushered in the Eastern Conference Finals!

This is also the fifth consecutive time that the Knicks have entered the Eastern Conference Finals!

In the five years since Gatsby entered the league, he has not missed the Eastern Conference finals once, which is also rare in NBA history.

5 month 18 day.

An hour before the start of the game, Madison Square Garden was already full of fans. They held small banners with slogans in their hands, or banners propped up by several people, or held popcorn Coke , While stuffing popcorn in his mouth, he was excited or shouting or chatting with his friends about the possible progress of the game.

The East was not too noisy because of the tyranny of the Knicks, and finally changed at the beginning of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It may not be that they think the Pacers can challenge the Knicks, but that the new king of the Pacers, Paul George, suddenly accepted an interview with reporters before the game and challenged Gatsby openly!
—Gatsby, here I come, this time I will beat you!

Everyone has noticed Paul George's progress and strength. As for whether he can challenge Gatsby successfully, that will happen later, but being able to speak openly and openly about challenging Gatsby is courage.

After Gatsby climbed to the top, no one dared to provoke him like this.

It's not that Durant and James dare not, it's just that they don't want to.

They pride themselves on their status and challenge a junior as a senior. They can do such a thing, but they will not say it.

It's good to win, but it's a loss of face and reputation if you lose.

Paul George is a rookie in 10, one year younger than Gatsby. Using his identity to challenge Gatsby, the No. 1 player in the league, is a good thing for him regardless of winning or losing.

If he can challenge No.1, he will gain both fame and fortune if he wins, and it doesn't matter if he loses. He is already a rising star.

With his strength, he can't be called arrogant. On the contrary, he will increase his exposure rate because of the comparison with Geci. He has made a lot of money!

When Paul George entered the field, he was booed all over the field, but he didn't change his face, and even got a little angry.

He was betting right. Such boos are usually given to those superstars who are extremely threatening to the home team. From another perspective, this is equivalent to the overwhelming cheers of the home fans.

Gatsby looked at Paul George with a smile. He was not disgusted with Paul George's calculations. He knew Paul George quite well.

Firstly, he did this to boost morale, secondly to gain some popularity for himself, and thirdly, if there was a chance that he could step on Gatsby and get the upper hand, Paul George would not be merciful!
This is the NBA, this is the arena!

No. 400 in the world, there are many people who covet this position. Among the more than [-] players in the NBA, which player does not want to replace him?

Gatsby is not disgusted with this kind of thing, because this is the NBA, and his No.1 was also snatched from someone else. Isn't it normal for others to challenge him to take away the No. [-] in the world? ——You must have that ability!

Game start.

The Pacers' starting lineup is: Paul George, David West, George Hill, Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: Gatsby, Thompson, Leonard, Green and Big White.

"Haha, tonight's game is really good to watch. Now the Pacers are the most promising team in the East to challenge the Knicks.

What's more interesting is that Paul George, the leader of the Pacers, said conclusively that he would challenge Gatsby and defeat Gatsby.

I will wait and see tonight to see how far Paul George can go and how Gatsby will react! Director Zhang laughed.

Dabaibian and Hibbert jumped the ball in the middle circle. Hibbert 218 pressed Dabaibian and gave the ball to Hill first.

Hill held the ball for halfway, and he was shocked to find that it wasn't Gatsby who was defending him, but Thompson. Then look at the man Gatsby was defending, it turned out to be Paul George!

event!

Hill was secretly worried about Paul George—you made Gatsby focus on you!

"Hey! Gatsby went directly to defend Paul George. George is the third position, and Gatsby is the first position. Gatsby just defended him without any disguise.

What Gatsby wanted to tell the other challengers—of course you can challenge me, but you have to accept my blow! "Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi was right. Gatsby followed Paul George, and he said quietly, "Paul, I'm glad you challenged me, so let's make the game more fun. Let's match up tonight!" "

Paul George nodded solemnly.

Hill raised his hand at the top of the arc to signal the tactic, Paul George started to run, Gatsby followed him closely, Hill stared and waited for Paul George to run out of position, this tactic was for Paul George to catch the ball and attack.

Hibbert helped Paul George cover from the three-point line. Gatsby grabbed it and stretched out his hand to block George. Hill wanted to pass the ball. Gatsby stretched out his hand, and Hill quickly retracted it.

George quickly circled Hibbert, hoping to use the screen to find space to receive the ball, but Gatsby himself was a top passer, and he always stayed on the passing path between Hill and George.

Hill found several opportunities but was unable to pass the ball. He had to break through on his own because there was not enough time. Thompson's defense was not blocked. Hill was interfered with and missed the shot!
"Haha, George is in trouble. Gatsby's defense is at the first team level. In the past four years, except for the first season, he was not in the best defensive team. He was in the first team in the other three seasons. Team, eh, no, it's already the fourth season, and this season Gatsby has also entered the defensive team.

George was so defended by Gatsby that he couldn't even catch the ball. Now it depends on whether Paul George can defend Gatsby. Well, it depends on whether Paul George will go against Gatsby. Logically speaking, he should.

Because the Pacers' best outside defender is Paul George, Stephenson's defense is still worse than Paul George. Gatsby's threat is worthy of Paul George's defense.Well, it sure is! "Yang Yi said.

Gatsby dribbled the ball for half the court, and it was Paul George who came up to defend. Gatsby smiled softly, and that smile was a bit old-fashioned/hooligan-the man who Jianghu likes the most in Jiaozuo.

As soon as Gatsby stretched out his hand, Thompson, Leonard, Green and others quickly took their positions to open up space, leaving Paul George and Gatsby singled out at the top of the arc.

Paul George's defense is very aggressive. His defense is somewhat similar to Leonard's. He defends close, interferes with his long arms, and invades the opponent's dribbling space with his feet.
