the great gatsby

Chapter 585 Durant Lost His Mind!

Durant clapped his hands in annoyance, and turned his head decisively. He wants to return one immediately!
Durant returned to the frontcourt, and Westbrook found that his defender had changed. Gatsby was originally guarding him, but now it was Wesley Johnson. He was surprised to find Gatsby, who was defending Durant. Rand!
Durant was a little surprised that Gatsby actually stood in front of him. This was to completely match him. He was not satisfied with winning the advantage on the offensive end, but also restricted him on the defensive end?
Durant was furious. He saw Scarlett on the sidelines looking at Gatsby nervously. He was obviously worried about Gatsby's choice. Durant became even angrier—you are worried about this kid?I like you so much... Hmph, then I'll humiliate him severely, isn't it just handsome, is it worth it?
Durant turned around and tried to block Gatsby, but Gatsby got in front of him - going around!
Durant squeezed a few times, but he didn't move. Durant was a little surprised. He was no longer the Durant he used to be. He looked thinner now, but that was because he was too tall. His strength wasn't bad. Given his height, he might be a little weaker when playing inside, but compared to outside, he still had plenty of strength, but he couldn't gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Gatsby?
Durant couldn't squeeze through, so he just pointed his finger at the sky against Gatsby. Westbrook understood that they had cooperated for so many years and knew each other. He lobbed the ball in. It was a lob. If the lob goes in, it will be difficult for Gatsby to defend.

"Good job!" Durant gave Gatsby a push, and then retreated, trying to perform an alley-oop in the air. He jumped high, with his long arms stretched out in the air, trying to catch the ball, but a A big hand appeared in the direction of the ball, and the lob was destroyed!
Gatsby!
Gatsby jumped up high and poked the ball away!

So fast reaction speed, so high bounce!

Durant was surprised.

Aldridge grabbed the ball, turned around and handed the ball to Gatsby, Gatsby advanced to the frontcourt, the Thunder returned to defense very quickly, the Lakers' rhythm was very fast tonight, the Thunder had gotten used to it, so they simply gave up the frontcourt. Field rebounds back to defense.

Gatsby saw that there was no chance to switch, so he slowed down. Durant rushed back to block Gatsby. Gatsby gestured for Jokic, who was about to go up the pick-and-roll, to back off. Since Tate is willing to play against him, he doesn't plan to use the pick-and-roll. The pick-and-roll is actually easier to play, but Gatsby doesn't plan to use it-he wants to single Durant!

Gatsby dribbles left and right, Durant keeps a close eye on Gatsby, Gatsby suddenly throws the ball to his right hand, breaks through the right side suddenly, and Durant reacts a little slower, making Gatsby suddenly half shoulder!

Durant hurriedly accelerated to catch up. Gatsby suddenly pressed down, and supported Durant with his left hand, creating a little space for the front of the body to change direction. Durant rushed back too fast, caught off guard, and couldn't control it at all The body, and Gatsby's left hand used a little strength to push Durant along the momentum, and Durant was thrown two meters away!
Durant was shocked, and tried his best to rush over to block Gatsby, but unexpectedly, his foot slipped and he fell to the ground!
Gatsby retreated to the three-point line and hit a three-pointer in no time!

Cheers sounded from the Staples Center, and the cheers were especially harsh in Durant's ears.

"It's so beautiful! This is Michael Jordan's trick to get rid of his opponent and hit the final shot!" Yang Yi said.

Gatsby looked back at Durant, his eyes were neither surprised nor happy, inside was a deep pool of calm, Durant was bitten by hatred in his heart, and even his face became hideous, he hated this expression very much , it seems that defeating oneself is nothing to be proud of!
Durant asked Westbrook for the ball directly, and dribbled the ball for half court. He wanted to break through Gatsby head-on and beat him head-on!
Westbrook had some worry on his face. He had been fighting against Gatsby for so many years. He knew very well how powerful Gatsby was. Naturally, his comrade was also very powerful, but compared to Gatsby...

But when Westbrook saw Durant asking for the ball, he handed it over without hesitation, then waved his hand to clear the space to make room for Durant's single.

Durant dribbled the ball to observe Gatsby, Gatsby saw Durant dribbled at the three-point line, without hesitation, he rushed over in two steps, Durant saw Gatsby move, he changed direction and wanted to pass Gatsby lost, but Gatsby stretched out his hand to touch the basketball, and the basketball came out of his hand. Durant quickly retrieved the ball and regained control, but no, Gatsby had already been close to him.

This is difficult. Durant is not very lucky with the ball when he is close to the body, but Durant also has a way. He protects the ball and dribbles two steps to one side. !
pass!

Durant was overjoyed, but was immediately shocked: Where is the ball!

He hurriedly turned his head, and Gatsby caught the ball from the ground, threw it forward, and quickly chased him. After only two or three dribbles, Gatsby rushed to the frontcourt, and directly chased and shot a three-pointer!
hit!

Steal a dragon!

Gatsby smiled slightly when he hit a chasing three-pointer. It was not easy for Durant to break through him. Durant was too tall and had a high center of gravity. If he wanted to break through him, he would have to steal!

Gatsby's smile made Durant's chest explode, this is Hong Guoguo's contempt!

Durant lost his cool and blindly asked Westbrook for the ball. Westbrook was very worried, but Durant himself is the Thunder's most efficient terminator. Giving the ball to Durant was also in the Thunder's interests. Durant wanted the ball. , then he will give it.

Coach Donovan's entire face was wrinkled. He could tell that Durant had lost his mind. He was fighting!
It's not that Durant can't play Gatsby in singles, but the efficiency is relatively too low. If Durant is willing to use pick-and-rolls and run without the ball, that's okay, but now Durant has fallen into singles. Not good!
Gatsby kept breaking through and passing Durant, and then passed the ball to the open teammates, and the point difference was stretched more and more.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers led by 20 points!
Coach Donovan felt that he had made a stupid decision. He shouldn't have let Durant defend Gatsby!
Back in the second half, Durant seemed much calmer. It was a pity that Gatsby was still defended by Robertson. Tonight's game was the happiest game he played in the past two years. With Durant like this A level opponent, he fights very passionately, and it is rare to meet such an interesting opponent.

The Thunder are back on track, but the general trend is gone. Of course there is still a lot of time. The whole second half, but they are too behind. The Lakers steadily controlled the rhythm and maintained the point difference until the last moment. The Lakers defeated the Thunder at home by a big score !
