the great gatsby

Chapter 576 One of the strongest defenders in 30 years?

Tony Allen fell in the crowd, and instead of struggling to get up immediately, he turned his head to look at Gatsby, who was running around and trying to switch. !

Tony Allen glanced at the statistics. Gatsby's statistics have reached 18 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, and there are 3 minutes left in the first quarter. What kind of fairy data is this?
The score difference has reached 15 points. Coach Joger looked a little stunned. This was a dull blow from the beginning, which knocked him out of his mind. The first quarter was not over yet, and the score difference was already running. After 20 points, the Grizzlies are already so weak?
The Grizzlies called another timeout. Gatsby and the others returned to the bench. Jim Iron walked to Gatsby's side and asked in a low voice, "Come down for a rest?"

Gatsby looked up at the opposite side like a grizzly bear and shook his head slightly: "Let's finish this quarter. I will try to open the point difference to 20 points."

Jim Ain was silent for a moment: "Aren't you tired?"

Gatsby laughed: "It doesn't matter if you're a little tired. In the first round, let's take down their momentum first, and then it will be easier to fight later on."

Jim Iron nodded.

Gatsby sat down with his head bowed, and covered his face with a towel: "...you should chase after the poor!"

Tony Allen returned to the bench, refused the drink offered by the logistics, just wiped his sweat with a towel, looked at the opposite Lakers with a solemn face, and searched quickly in his mind, how to guard against Gatsby .

Tony Allen is known as a master of defense and one of the best defenders in the NBA in the past 30 years. He is nicknamed the flat-headed brother of the NBA by Chinese fans.

He is considered by Kobe to be the best player to defend him, a specimen fished out of the NBA museum in the 90s - no active offensive ability, no passing, even three-pointers are perfunctory, the only thing he is good at It's the trump card to beat your opponent - I don't know how to attack, so don't you either.

In the 2010 finals, Kobe was entangled with death for an average of 15 minutes per game, which almost made Kobe the sinner of the Lakers losing the finals;

In 2011, the Grizzlies and the Thunder met in the second round of the playoffs. Tony Allen bit Durant face-to-face. Grizzlies defeated 4-1;

In 2014, Durant won the MVP. In this season's playoffs, the Thunder encountered the Grizzlies again. Under his defense, Durant finished the first four games, and his shooting percentage was only 39.6%!

In 2015, the Grizzlies and the Warriors met in the semifinals. The core Splash Brothers of the Golden State Warriors who were about to win their first championship once made Tony Allen lose himself!
Tony Allen, most of his abilities are on defense, and he is extremely proud of his defense. Throughout his 13-year career, he relied on this defensive ability. This year, facing Gates It will be the biggest challenge of his career, and also the final glory!

I, Teacher Tony, will never allow any late-night guarantee to be lost!
Tony Allen gritted his teeth.

When the game returned to the court, Randolph hit a mid-range singles, which was regarded as stopping the bleeding for the Grizzlies.

The Lakers took possession of the ball, and Gatsby advanced to the front court with the ball. As soon as he crossed the center line, Tony Allen entangled up. The first-team defensive team and the third-time second-team defensive player did have unique talents in this area, and his defense made Gatsby feel the pressure.

But what is Gatsby's characteristic - comprehensive!
Tony Allen faced the best players in the league, always able to defend against the opponent's weaknesses.

When facing Kobe, Kobe is a pure scorer, so he will defend closely. Kobe will pass the ball if he likes it. Kobe's passing will not kill him anyway;

When facing Durant, it is mainly used to move forward, shake the bottom plate, and interfere with shooting, so that Durant’s unstable bottom plate is recognized by the league;

To deal with James, it is to throw shots and prevent breakthroughs. Tony Allen is strong enough to delay James' breakthrough and back hits. With the assistance of his teammates, it is difficult for James to play.

Gatsby lowered his weight and carefully observed Tony Allen's footsteps. Tony Allen didn't dare to act rashly anymore. With Gatsby's ability, if he made a slight move, Gatsby would be able to rush over immediately.

Gatsby saw that Tony Allen was not moving, so he forced Allen to move. He took the ball and made a shuffling step to the right. Tony Allen had to move across. , with his right shoulder against Tony Allen, Tony Allen reached out with his right hand, and was protected by Gatsby's hand. Formed a pinch!
Gatsby made a pass from behind and hit the ball straight to the bottom corner. Wesley Johnson in the bottom corner caught the ball and pulled up to shoot, hitting a three-pointer!

Tony Allen couldn't help but look at Gatsby. In his seventh season in the league, Gatsby has gradually matured, but no matter how mature he is, he is still just a 25-year-old boy, and the Chinese face is not very attractive. Judging his age, he suddenly looked at him as a young man, and this young man... was too vigorous!

Tony Allen didn't know how to defend for the first time, and Gatsby would always find a way out. Whether it was shooting, breaking through or passing, Gatsby was at the top level, and he had no flaws!

He can always find the weak points of the opponent's defense to attack!

For the ball just now, if it was Kobe, he might not be able to find the angle to pass it out (or he might not have thought about passing it at all), if it was James, there would be no way to break through to this depth to attract flanking attacks, and if it was Durant, there would be no way for him to make such a sudden pass. , It may not be spread out even if it comes suddenly.

However, Gatsby's pass after breaking out from this angle seemed to be very light, and even the timing seemed to be extremely accurate. When Stephenson was about to be surrounded, he found a gap to pass the ball. The pass at this time was very dangerous. But the person who catches the ball is an absolute vacancy, and no one can defend anymore!
This is control level!
Tony Allen was amazed. This might be the toughest opponent he has ever seen. Before that, he thought Kobe was the most difficult to defend, but now he feels that there is a guy who is more difficult than Kobe!

Gatsby and Wesley Johnson clapped their hands and looked back at Tony Allen: Is he one of the strongest defenders in 30 years?It is indeed very good, but you must be crushed tonight!

This has nothing to do with personal grievances, this is war. For Gatsby, the key to defeating the Grizzlies is actually to defeat his opponent. As long as he defeats his opponent, he will drive the entire team. when.
