the great gatsby

Chapter 519 Battle of Air Conditioning!

The conversation with Green and several people confirmed Gatsby's idea. He called Donnie Walsh and Long Xiaoman. Long Xiaoman flew over from New York, and the three of them gathered with Donnie Walsh at Gatsby's house. The room was discussed for several hours.

Afterwards, news continued to spread that the alliance sent a team to the Knicks to investigate, to sort out the Knicks' equity, and to review the finances. The resoluteness of the measures adopted made Gatsby a little bit cold.

During this period, Xiao Hua didn't even give Gatsby a phone call to talk about it. Xiao Hua's attitude can be imagined. He is determined to weaken the Knicks, even at the expense of affecting the finals. Push the Knicks down!
Gatsby, together with D'Antoni, channeled everyone's feelings in the team and let everyone get involved in the finals. This is the most important thing, and other things are problems that need to be solved in the future.

With Green and Iguodala around, there are not too many problems in the team, but D'Antoni is uneasy, this is about to come!
On June 6th, San Antonio was shrouded in gloomy black clouds, without the light of day, but the whole city was like a big oven, and it was sweating profusely when it moved a little outside.

Gatsby stood in front of the window and looked outside quietly, turned his head and smiled with D'Antoni, "If this rain falls, it will definitely turn the whole city upside down!"

The game started that night.

The AT&T Center is packed with dense fans. San Antonio fans have the same temperament as the Spurs, with more than calm but not enough enthusiasm.

But this is just an illusion. When the game reaches its climax, the fans in San Antonio will burst into hot magma like a volcano erupting.

When Gatsby entered the arena, he actually felt a little hot. This was not the atmosphere at the scene, but he really felt a little hot.

Gatsby turned to the logistics staff and asked, "Is the air conditioner off?"

The logistics staff was stunned: "No, the arena usually has air conditioning on 24 hours a day. It's impossible not to have it."

Gatsby looked solemn: "Go to the venue and ask to see what's going on."

Seeing Gatsby's seriousness, the logistics staff nodded and hurried to consult.

D'Antoni leaned over: "What's going on?"

Gatsby said in a deep voice: "The whistleblowing is just a conspiracy of the Spurs. I doubt that Popovich will stop there. He will probably use other means, such as—letting the air conditioner break down, let us live without the air conditioner." Playing in an environment!"

D'Antoni was stunned: "The battle of the air conditioner? No way, they will play in the sweltering heat without the air conditioner!"

Gatsby laughed and said, "They will take a lot of measures, Dan, if they do the math mentally or not!"

Dan D'Antoni ran over: "Gatsby, what's the matter?"

"You arrange it, find someone to buy some things to cool off the heat, prepare more ice cubes, and buy some fans, electric fans will definitely not work, if you have fans, you can still contain it."

Dan D'Antoni nodded quickly and made arrangements.

Gatsby felt that the temperature in the museum was gradually rising. The temperature outside was so high, and it was the weather before the rain. The air pressure was very low, and it was humid and hot.

The tens of thousands of people gathered together in the hall made the temperature in the hall gradually rise, and now even D'Antoni gradually felt stuffy.

The Knicks' support staff ran back panting: "Sure enough, the air conditioner is broken, but someone has been arranged to repair it urgently."

Gatsby sneered and said, "Repair? I don't think it will be repaired until the game is over. Coach, the rotation will be stepped up later. We're going to play in this temperature today. It depends on who can survive it better. "

D'Antoni nodded.

Gatsby returned to the bench and called all the players: "We have to prepare for this tough game tonight. They have all kinds of tricks against us, but we can't give in. We can enjoy life and we can enjoy life." After all kinds of tests, our goal is only the championship!"

"Championship!" the crowd shouted, their eyes burning.

Gatsby used to shake hands with Duncan Parker and others, especially Mr. Popovich. Gatsby smiled a little weirdly. Popovich squinted at Gatsby. encourage each other.

"Come on, I am optimistic about you tonight!"

"Thank you, your coaching is really good, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"

Hey, social people.

Game start.

The Spurs' starters are Tony Parker, Danny Green, Belinelli, Tim Duncan and Dwight Howard.

The Knicks started with the five tigers: Gatsby, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green and Hassan Whiteside.

The momentum of the Spurs back at home is different. The Spurs seem to have returned to the state they had in the first game. Danny Green and Belinelli became very accurate, and even Tony Parker started to shoot three-pointers.

In order to contain the Spurs in good condition, the Knicks must respond more on the defensive end and move their feet faster. In just a few minutes, the Knicks players began to feel that their breathing was not smooth.

Because it's too hot!
Even the fans started to fan the wind desperately with the things in their hands. They haven't done anything yet. The temperature in the stadium has risen to the point where even they can't bear it. It is conceivable that they are playing in this situation .

The Knicks can't take it, and neither can the Spurs.

Gatsby was panting. He had never played in such a temperature. In the United States, training halls almost always maintain a constant temperature 24 hours a day.

You have no idea how wasteful Americans really are. They don't know how to save energy. The air conditioning or heating in the house will not be turned off even when people are not at home.

D'Antoni hurriedly changed people, and the people who came down put ice towels on their necks to drive away the heat, and the people sent by D'Antoni to buy fans and things to relieve the heat also came back.

Gatsby was replaced, and the people behind immediately put a cold towel on him. Antetokounmpo sat beside him and fanned him. The logistics staff behind him handed over a bottle of small things. ——Hey, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water!

Is it still sold in the US?

This stuff doesn't taste good to drink, but it's really effective in preventing heatstroke. Gatsby really felt much better after drinking it. I hope there are no stimulants in it, otherwise it will be detected by random urine tests. It's not good to have problems.

D'Antoni changed back and forth, trying to give everyone time to rest. Although the score was slightly behind, D'Antoni didn't care.

The temperature in the arena is getting higher and higher, and the fans are already sweating. The male fans opened their necklines, while the female fans showed white flowers. All kinds of smells gathered in the arena, the smell of perfume and sweat Wait, foreigners have too much body odor, and it's almost suffocating in such a confined space.
