Chapter 561 Goodbye Wind City Rose!

In the second quarter, Gatsby and Kobe rested, and Deron Jokic played, and they still played with a rhythm, but this time they did not play back and back, but played the pass and cut system, the rotation of the Raptors The lineup is led by DeRozan, but the others can only be said to be average. Facing Jokic and West, who pass the ball inside, and there is Deron on the outside, the Lakers are flying.

The ones who gained the most in this system were Nick Young and Wesley Johnson. They fired from outside the three-point line and hit the basket with constant air cuts. Coach Casey found that the starting lineup couldn't beat it, and the rotating lineup couldn't handle it either. This was embarrassing. .

Jim Ain saw that the Raptors couldn't stop him, so he simply let the rotation lineup play more games, and the veterans can rest for a while. Pau Gasol rests more and prepares for the playoffs, which is also a necessary measure to reduce the chance of injury.

In the second half of the second quarter, Coach Casey changed the starting lineup. The Lakers played Gatsby, and the rest were in the rotation. Jordan Hill and Ed Davis all got to play. Chance.

But even so, the Raptors were not able to close the score. At the end of the first half, the Lakers had already led by 15 points. Back in the second half, the Lakers played all the main players, and opened the point difference to 20 points in half a quarter.

The lineup was rotated again in the second half. After the third quarter, the point difference was still 20 points. In the fourth quarter, the Raptors started. After half a quarter, the point difference was not close. Coach Casey took the lead to replace the starter. , that is to say, the winner was declared, and he chose to give up.

The Lakers scored relatively average, but Kobe got the highest score of the team, scored 38 points, which is his highest score since he ruptured his Achilles tendon.

Gatsby scored 28 points but had 14 assists.

The Raptors are also a strong force in the East, but they seem to be at a loss when facing the Lakers. The strength of the Lakers has finally been confirmed, because this is the Lakers' tenth consecutive victory, and the Lakers have reached the first position in the league.

However, there are still many experts who are still holding on. They have plausible words: the real super team Lakers have not met yet, the Clippers, Spurs, Chicago Bulls, let's wait until the Lakers win a few teams.

This is the case for some people, and it is so difficult for them to admit that others are strong, but fortunately, the Lakers' opportunity to prove themselves will come soon. The next game on their Eastern Conference trip is the Bulls.

The Lakers team beat the Raptors, so they quickly packed up and rushed to Chicago. It was also snowing in Chicago. This time, the cold wave almost swept across the entire United States. During the short outdoor time, the entire team was wailing, because the heavy snow was accompanied by the bone-chilling cold With strong winds and even freezing rain, the environment is so harsh that Gatsby wonders how the United States has survived for so many years.

But when I return indoors, I feel a great happiness, especially when I turn on the heating, drink warm coffee or drink a cup of brandy to warm myself up, while watching the heavy snow falling outside, that is so happy!
Although the snow was heavy, it could not stop the people who loved each other. Long Xiaoman came here in spite of the heavy snow. After she and Gatsby decided to stay together for the rest of their lives, Long Xiaoman couldn't bear the short separation. Cibi's turning point came.

When Gatsby saw Long Xiaoman appearing in his room, Gatsby was both angry and moved. He was angry because even a big plane was dangerous in such a heavy snowy weather, but what was moved was that Long Xiaoman For him, even in such a bad situation, Xiaoman still came to meet him.

The so-called not seeing each other in a day is like three autumns, that's about it.

Since Long Xiaoman arrived, except for the occasional gossip in the hotel, most of the time Gatsby took her around for a walk. It was cold outside, so of course outdoor activities were minimized. Gatsby arranged for a special car to pick her up. When I went to museums and movie theaters, fortunately, the weather was cold, so Gatsby wore a mask and sunglasses as much as possible, and no one found out that it was Gatsby, which reduced the number of onlookers.

Chicago's law and order is not good, Gatsby dare not go to those places with bad law and order, most of them go to some safe places, even so, Long Xiaoman is very happy, this is a girl with very low requirements, although born In the rich family, but the material requirements are not high, and her team Gatsby's requirements are not high, but it is probably the reason why Gatsby is too good.

Happy times are always short, and during the time when Gatsby and Long Xiaoman are wandering around, the game against the Chicago Bulls is coming soon.

The Bulls lost to the Clippers last season and were swept away, but the Bulls did not rebuild, but kept all their cores. Rose also paid this season, but was placed on the bench. Jeremy Lin is the starting point guard, and this Bulls still maintains the attitude of hitting the championship.

When Gatsby saw Ross, he couldn't help but feel sad for this man with bad luck. Ross was no longer as high-spirited as he was a few years ago, and he looked very disappointed. He was really hit hard by the injury.

Heal up and come back, come back and get hurt again, recover and come back, come back and get hurt again!
Gatsby knew that Rose was actually considering retiring at this time. He was a very introverted person. Introverts would have a harder time getting over when faced with injuries. These would do too much mental damage to him. .

When Rose and Gatsby hugged, they whispered in Gatsby's ear: "I now understand what you said to me a few years ago. You said that my style of play is very harmful to my health. Please persuade me I changed my style of play, did you see at that time that I was going to get hurt?"

Gatsby nodded: "Your style of play is too unrestrained. It looks good, but it is too easy to get hurt. There are a few details that you can pay attention to. You like to land on one foot too much. There is no cushion, which is harmful to your knees. too much stress;

Changing direction is too violent, which still puts a lot of pressure on your knees;

Pay attention to the protective action after taking off and landing, and learn to protect your posture correctly when you fall. Now is not the era when you need to show toughness. A good player is a player who protects himself well.

You can find a trainer to help you design and train these protective movements, and then use them in competitions, which can at least extend your career for several years.

Derek, I hope you stay in the league for a few more years. You are no longer your best self, but you can still be yourself. You can’t be your peak self, but you can still be a better self! "

Rose's eyes were moist, and he nodded vigorously: "Well, I listen to you, I will protect myself, but we still have to have a good fight tonight!"

Gatsby and Rose laughed at each other. Some people are both rivals and friends, just like-minded.
