the great gatsby

Chapter 608 Return of the King!
On April 2017, 4, the NBA playoffs began.

The Lakers are No. [-] in the Western Conference against the No. [-] Portland Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have grown up completely, especially the young man McCollum, who started as a substitute and is now one of the core of the Trail Blazers. He has really come out step by step. He is not as inspirational as Gatsby. After all, compared to Gatsby, he is still the favorite of the sky, and the tenth pick in the NBA is already considered pretty good.

The Blazers' starting lineup is: McCollum, Lillard, Turner, Harkless, Noah's von Lai.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is: Gatsby, Bogjanovich, Jeff Green, Aldridge, Jokic.

Kobe is not in the starting lineup. This season, Kobe has no strength to start in the playoffs. Of course, Kobe was still allowed to start in the regular season. In the last game, Kobe won 60 against the Jazz. The score shocked the entire basketball world.

At the beginning of the game, the suspense has been lost. The Blazers have no one who can face Gatsby. From Lillard, to McCollum, to Turner, no one can guard Gatsby, not even Harkless They have all tried to defend themselves, but their lives have been even more miserable.

Jeff Green played well in this game, because Lillard was defending him. There was no way, Lillard couldn't defend Gatsby, so he had to let Lillard misplaced to defend Jeff Green. Although Green is not a top junior Forward, not even a first-class small forward, but the misplaced isolation of a point guard does have a great advantage, especially when he finishes with an air cut.

Bogdanovic is too accurate outside the three-point line. His three-pointers can reach 42.5% this season, and tonight it reached a terrifying 52%!

The main reason is that the Blazers' defense has been cut to pieces. They can't defend against Gatsby, and they can't stop Jeff Green who cuts in the air. Feng Lai at the basket is pulled out by Jokic. Frame, not very effective at all.

The game lost suspense from the beginning.

The second game was a replica of the first game. From the beginning to the end, the Blazers were unable to organize an effective resistance.

The third game came to the home court of the Trail Blazers. It was a wonderful second half, but after Gatsby made a strong effort in the second half, the Blazers were in a slump and lost like a mountain. Horford played a very good performance and scored 31 points. With 11 rebounds and 9 assists, he almost got a triple-double.

The Trail Blazers had lost their fighting spirit in the fourth game, and the Lakers easily won and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.The Lakers faced off against the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Rockets' lineup this season is still very good, with Harden, Capela, Ariza, Beverley, Lou Williams, Gordon, Harrell, Anderson and other powerful players.

The Rockets are much stronger than the Trail Blazers, which brought some troubles to the Lakers, especially Beverly, who has been pestering Gatsby all the time. Of course, Beverly cannot be prevented at Gatsby's level, but the key is annoying. !
Harden played very well. Although Bogojanovich defended him very hard, he really couldn't defend Harden. Therefore, the game dragged on to the last quarter. Gatsby broke out with all his strength and beat Beverly down. Just won the game.

The Rockets were more tenacious in the second game, but the Lakers' strong bench broke out. Horford beat Nene, and Capela was also beaten by Horford. Rondo scored 11 assists and grabbed 9 rebounds. Korver got 4 assists, Korver's shot was only three points, and Korver scored 15 points.

The Rockets have lost two games in a row.

However, in the third game, the Rockets pulled back a game. The Rockets returned to the home court and were ready to move. No matter how they shot, it rained three-pointers and hit 26 three-pointers. Even so, they only beat the Lakers by 5 points.

But the Lakers got their revenge in the fourth game. Gatsby scored 71 points, and the Lakers won by 31 points, beating the entire Toyota Center to silence.

Morey said before the game that he wanted to get back a big score, but he was immediately slapped in the face.

The fifth game returned to Los Angeles. The Lakers would not give the Rockets a chance. They simply shot the Rockets off the horse and marched on the Rockets' corpse.

The Lakers finished the semifinals in five games, but the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers became a meat grinder.

The fateful matchup between Curry and Paul, and the peak matchup between James and Durant are exciting to watch.

Although James and Durant have been suppressed by Gatsby, it does not mean that they are not strong. On the contrary, if Gatsby does not pass through, they represent the two strongest people in the league.

The two teams dragged the game into a tiebreaker. Curry played a decisive game in Game 51. He scored 10 points, 6 assists and [-] rebounds, leading the Golden State Warriors to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers!
Golden State Warriors and Lakers meet in Western Conference Finals!

Durant met Gatsby again, and it almost broke his teeth. From the beginning, he exploded with all his strength. He scored 32 points in the first game and 42 points in the second game, but he lost both games. Yes, because Durant's outburst put the Golden State Warriors into a singles crisis, and Curry's performance was suppressed.

After losing two games in a row, Cole changed his strategy in time and let Curry lead the team forward. Then Curry played a game comparable to Gatsby and won the third game.

The fourth game was particularly tragic. Aldridge broke his arm on the Lakers' side, and Rondo injured his ankle. It is estimated that he will be reimbursed for the season. This is a very big loss for the Lakers, and it can be called a heavy loss. Rondo is a defensive player. Cibby's best substitute, without Rondo, the Lakers will lose an engine.

With no other choice, Gatsby played the whole game and fought hard for 43 minutes. The Lakers won the fourth game.

But this is just the beginning. The Lakers lead the Golden State Warriors 3:1, but because of a gap in personnel, the Golden State Warriors responded accordingly, and the Lakers lost Game [-].

The Golden State Warriors saw the dawn of victory.

The sixth game is the most unforgettable for Lakers fans. In this game, Gatsby was stepped on by Golden State Warriors center Pachulia just after the start of the game, and the sprain was so serious that people nearby could even Seeing the ankle turn ninety degrees, Curry couldn't bear to stare, and turned his eyes away.

Durant looked flustered, and his eyes showed that he couldn't bear that Gatsby was being carried down.

Gatsby's injury brought the Lakers to the most dangerous time. The Golden State Warriors led by 15 points in the first quarter. At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers fell behind by 24 points. The entire Staples Center was filled with despair.

At the most desperate moment, at the beginning of the second half, Gatsby limped out of the tunnel. The fans cheered and cried, but they didn't think Gatsby could still play. With that kind of sprain, half a season of rest would not be enough. Too much.

But Gatsby is back on the field!
Dragging his injured ankle, he scored 48 points in the half!
This is truly God playing ball!

The Lakers eliminated the Golden State Warriors and advanced to the Finals!
