the great gatsby

Chapter 545 The old ball skin teaches you how to play basketball series!

The Timberwolves have the ball, Rubio quickly advances to the frontcourt, Garnett receives the ball from the free throw line, Wiggins runs off the ball to the right wing to receive the ball, Joe Johnson follows closely, Wiggins tries to get past Joe Johnson, but Joe Johnson Although his footsteps are not as good as at his peak, he can still run at this time. He kept up with his feet and slowed down Wiggins' breakthrough with his strong body. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Wiggins could only pass the ball to Ruby profound.

Seeing that time was running out, Rubio had to break through Gatsby by himself. That's why he made such a sudden move. Gatsby followed his footsteps effortlessly, as if he didn't even need to use any effort. Rubio was a little surprised. Cibi's physical fitness over the past few years is naturally very strong, but because of his weight gain, his speed is much slower.

But look at this pace, his speed is back!

Rubio had no choice but to step back and make a strong shot. Gatsby's reaction speed was extremely fast, which interfered with Rubio's shot. The ball couldn't even reach the frame, and it was a violation of the 24-second offense.

Gatsby received the ball and pushed it forward. After halftime, he gave the ball to Gasol who fell to the free throw line. He turned around and got inside. Aldridge blocked him from the three-point line and got rid of Rubio. , Gatsby cuts in from one side, Gasolba lobs the ball in, Gatsby catches the ball and takes off for a dunk!
"Beautiful! Wonderful Eagles offense, Aldridge set a screen for Gatsby in the high post, Gatsby got rid of the defense and cut, Gasol's high lob, with a very tacit understanding, Gatsby got an easy dunk opportunity!" said Yang Yi, the commentator of Tencent Sports.

Gatsby, Gasol, and Aldridge raised their hands. Playing with Gasol is really comfortable. He just used a gesture, and Gasol immediately understood it, and he was able to pass such a comfortable pass. No wonder the Spurs Popovich has been trying to poach Gasol over it.

Popovich does have this idea. Duncan is not far from retirement. Now the Spurs have Howard to support the inside, but the Spurs have always had the habit of using the inside as the axis. Howard can't do this kind of embroidery. If Gasol goes In addition, the strength of the Spurs can still be preserved.

But now that Gatsby is cutting off Hu, Popovich can only do nothing.

After all, this Timberwolves team is centered on rookies. Although Rubio and Garnett lead the team, the youthfulness of the rookies cannot be ignored.

In the next round, Towns ran up and hit. His speed was fast, but he hit a mid-range shot with the help of a running shot.

Gatsby pushed the ball into the frontcourt, still found Gasol, followed the same pattern and ran an Eagles attack. This time Prince helped defend, but missed Kobe on the other side. The ball hit Kobe who ran to the bottom corner, and Kobe got an open three-point shot!

Kobe jumped up and stretched his body in the air. He flicked the basketball lightly with his fingers. The whole movement was smooth and wonderful.

Kobe made a three-pointer. He was happy but also a little bit disappointed. In the past, it was almost impossible for him to get such an open three-pointer from the bottom corner, because he was the most vigilant opponent at that time, how could he be emptied But now the situation is different, Gatsby in the team is the most vigilant object of the opponent.

Gasol got two assists as soon as he came up. He was in a good mood. No matter what those people outside said, Gasol himself understood how strong the Lakers are now. Although it seems that the development does not conform to the trend, but There is nothing to see in the regular season. Once they enter the playoffs, this Lakers will make all opponents tremble!

Let’s not talk about the substitutes with their own strengths such as Deron, Westnick Young, Johnson, Ed Davis, and Jordan Hill sitting on the bench. Let’s talk about this starter.

It is correct to say that the Lakers' team building is against the trend, because the current team does not have a few pure shooters. The Lakers did not do this, but the Lakers' approach is to form a lineup where everyone has shooting ability.

The starting five players, no matter who they are, have excellent shooting skills, not to mention Gatsby, Kobe, Joe Johnson on the outside, and even Aldridge and Gasol are CIC madmen. Within the three-point line, everyone in the Lakers cannot be left empty!
If it’s just like this, that’s all. If you can shoot, then man-to-man, but here comes the problem again. What if everyone in the team you are facing has a post-up single that makes you desperate?
Needless to say, Gatsby and Kobe, the weakest of the other three should be Gasol, even Gasol, his post-up singles is above the standard.

Joe Johnson, the Eagle King, his singles are called his nickname - singles Joe!
Aldridge, he is known as the mid-range shooting madman. His one-handed post-up singles can reach one step inside the three-point line. Are you scared?
This Lakers team may not seem to have a three-point shooter or play fastball, but in the positional battle, the offensive resources they have are astounding!
In the regular season, everyone may play fast, but in the playoffs, the Lakers will not play fast with you, they just drop bit by bit and grind slowly!

When the opponent finds out that once he is out of position, his defender is pulled into the inside and ravaged by singles again and again, that feeling may be called despair!

Next, the Lakers taught the Timberwolves' rookies what it means to be an old ball player. Gatsby and Joe John's constant cuts, Gasol pulled out high-post screens and passed the ball, and used his broad vision and height to deliver the ball. Every weak point, and everyone else is the kind of person who can put the ball into the basket as long as there is a little weakness. For the first time, Coach Mitchell, the coach of the Timberwolves, discovered that the Timberwolves' defense was so bad. point!
In half a quarter, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 24:9, leading by 15 points in half a quarter!
Gasol sent out 5 assists in half a quarter!
The two commentators of Tencent Sports, Yang Yi and Director Zhang, looked at each other. To be honest, they were not too optimistic about the Lakers team before, because it seemed really out of tune with the current trend, but now take a look at the Lakers half. The hit rate of the quarter has reached an astonishing 72%!

The atmosphere at Staples Center was completely over the top. The Lakers were playing in a slow position, but the game was really beautiful to watch. It looked like the gorgeous Kings team in the past, and it was much better than that Kings team. Yes, the personal abilities of this Lakers team are too strong!
Even if he is playing restrained for the sake of the team, the offensive talent that occasionally flashes out is amazing.

The Lakers play team ball, but the weak point they are looking for is not exactly the opportunity of the point guard, but cuts in the opponent's defensive connection. When it needs to end, whether it is Gatsby, Kobe, or Aldridge And Joe Johnson, both showed their superb personal ability.

Except for Gatsby, the others may have been a little reluctant to attack, but they seemed to be able to finish with ease in this kind of attack that constantly mobilized the opponent's defense!

Old ball skin, so strong!
