Chapter 507 Confrontation between Leonard and Paul George!
Paul George's will and courage are commendable, but it is inevitable that he will suffer. Gatsby appreciates his character, which does not mean that he will be let off so easily.

Defeating the challenger and winning the game are actually the same thing. As long as Paul George insists on defending him, Gatsby will not release water. This is a personal principle and a professional quality.

盖慈比第一节砍下了21分，还得加上3个助攻和2个篮板以及3个抢断，乔治被盖慈比防得只拿到4分1助攻2篮板。

But the war, oh, or the one-sided beating is far from over.

Yang Yi sighed and said: "Paul George is very courageous, but he is still far from being Gatsby's opponent. The more he resists, the more he will be suppressed.
I think Coach Vogel should change someone to defend Gatsby. This team takes the initiative to admit defeat and back down. Otherwise, after this game, I am afraid that George, a new star, will lose his heart. "

Coach Vogel is indeed anxious.

After the first quarter, the team has fallen behind by 8 points, and their number one star has been crushed and beaten again, but what can he do, George seems to be on par with Gats, and he has to hold on to defend the block Cibi, I'm not happy about letting him switch defenses.

It is not impossible if he is forced to switch defenses, but it is not a good thing that the coach and the top star are awkward, and Paul George is willing to pester Gatsby...he can defend well!
Gatsby rested off the court at the beginning of the second quarter, and he was amazed to see the fighting spirit on Paul George's face. This young man's mentality is indeed very good.

He was so oppressed and beaten by himself, he still had a little temper at first, but later on he felt like he was tempering himself.

Although he couldn't guard against himself, that aura really put him on the same level as himself. He really had a big heart and great perseverance!

"Kawhi, I saw Paul George. Look at him. This is a good seed for a superstar. You have to have this kind of mentality. You don't admit defeat when you see anyone. You have to take these responsibilities. It's up to you. Just fight, don't be afraid of making mistakes, who doesn't grow up from mistakes." Gatsby whispered to Leonard.

Leonard just nodded frequently, but his expression was as calm as ever.

The Pacers deserve to be the second-ranked team in the Eastern Conference. They rely not on the ability of one individual, but on the overall strength. Although they do not have a superstar, their average strength is indeed very strong. There is no starter to lead the team in the Knicks At that time, the substitute lineup was slightly lost.

The Pacers regained the score bit by bit. CJ Watson played very actively. Although he is only 188cm tall, his breakthrough ability is really good. Free throws scored.

The strength of the Knicks' bench lineup this season is slightly weaker. Harris has not been able to play the role of an arrow. Gatsby and D'Antoni have discussed that they can't play like this in the finals. At that time, it may be Renner. De, or Thompson, needs to be added to the strength of the bench.

D'Antoni tried this today. Coach Vogel just stepped on Paul George, and Leonard followed him, replacing Livingston. The Knicks were present, Leonard, Iguodala, Harris , Gallinari and Scola.

Director Zhang was quite surprised: "This is a lineup without a point guard. Leonard, Harris, and Iguodala are all small forwards. Gallinari and Scola are actually power forwards. This lineup is really interesting! "

It's really interesting. This lineup doesn't talk about offense, but defense alone gives the Pacers a headache.

Leonard went to mark Paul George when he came up. George kept his eyes on Gatsby, but he didn't realize that the Knicks also produced several outstanding small forwards.

When Paul George was dribbling past, Leonard scratched the ball with his paw, then scooped the ball up and dunked it like crazy. When he returned to defense, he had a look on his face: "I've done nothing but trivial things." It's a trivial matter, and you don't need to have a dull expression of applause.

In the next round, George singled Leonard. George broke through, thinking that he had thrown off Leonard, jumped back to avoid Scola's supplementary defense, and then felt a pain in his hand, and the ball was taken from behind!
George quickly turned his head to see that it was Leonard who quickly dunked and succeeded again, still with the blank expression of "I'm doing trivial things, everyone doesn't need to applaud".

Only then did Paul George face up to this young man who was concealed under Gatsby's light—it turns out that there are still young people as outstanding as himself in the league!

Gatsby propped his chin and watched with interest the two top small forwards in the next few years duel. If Paul George wanted to challenge him, he might have found the wrong partner. He and Leonard are the enemies of life. Brown is already in his early 30s, and Durant is also older than them. The future alliance depends on these two.

Leonard looked blank, but Gatsby often mentioned Paul George in his ear, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

I think I’m no worse than this Paul George, but it’s just to avoid the boss’s brilliance. It’s not that I’m lacking in strength. Since you always think that I should learn from Paul George, then I’ll let you see, who is better between me and him?
Leonard, who had become competitive, showed his sharpness. Both he and George started as defensive players. They wanted to suppress each other. The first thing they thought about was not to suppress the opponent on offense, but to Let the opponent suffer with defense first.

So something happened.

Paul George was holding the ball, and Leonard was calm and focused, stretching out his arms long enough to cover a three-person sofa. George carefully protected the ball, and he caught a glimpse of a gap and pulled the ball up, but Leonard poked it away with one hand.

Leonard picked up the ball and wanted to launch a fast break. Paul George retreated quickly and followed Leonard tightly to prevent him from starting. Body-butt Paul George.

But the two are just about the same. Leonard can't hit Paul George, and George can't steal Leonard.

Gatsby looked amused. These two players are currently stronger in defense than offense. Their offense was not as strong as in the next two or three seasons, so they were blocked by the opponent and couldn't score.

Yang Yi and Director Zhang were also amused, and Yang Yi said: "Compared to George challenging Gatsby, the duel between these two people is evenly matched.

However, these two are stronger in defense than offense, so they both defended each other, but I have to say that although neither scored, it was very exciting, and the evenly matched confrontation made people look even more excited. "

Director Zhang also said: "That's true. These two guys are very good. Their defense is very strong, and their offense is actually very good. Give them a few years, and they will definitely become superstars. As long as they give their offense a boost When they get promoted, they will be both offensive and defensive players!"
