the great gatsby

Chapter 615 I am also a good person!
At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers had fallen behind by 13 points. James and others looked at each other. With the Clippers playing like this, Rivers secretly groaned in his heart.

They really wanted to find out about Knicks tonight, but Knicks only wanted to fight with one move, like a brash man who doesn't know kung fu, no matter what moves you make, I'll just grab you all the way in the middle palace, and punch you with all my might!
The Clippers have subtle moves, Chris Paul has embroidered mosquitoes on his legs, and LeBron James has a full field of vision, but they really can't do anything against the Knicks, who can break through all kinds of tricks!

Yang Yi praised: "The Knicks are a team that is very good at using pass-and-cut tactics. This was tested during their super dynasty. But most of the time there is no need for this, they just run up and fight, no opponent can withstand it, it is really terrifying!

Gatsby's talent in bombardment is of a historical level. Compared with him, Nash may have to be inferior. He is surrounded by Giannis Antetokounmpo who is not inferior to Stoudemire. There is Thompson, a historical three-point shooter, and Harry. With the comprehensive support of Adams and the ball-conducting core of Green, once running, it is really devastating and pervasive! "

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers began to control fouls, but the situation was even worse. The Clippers were unwilling to foul, and the Knicks played more smoothly in transition. At first, the Clippers were able to control the rhythm. Paul and James both controlled the rhythm. The masters, but when they got to the back, even they couldn't control them, and the rhythm was thrown into chaos by the Knicks.

Coach Rivers repeatedly called timeout control, but he couldn't stop at all. At the end of the first half, the Clippers had fallen behind by 21 points.

Did Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Brin, who were in charge of the broadcast tonight, exclaim, Jeff Van Gundy had a very interesting sentence: "...this is the real showtime, Gatsby is a magician, not a magician, but magic division!"

Away locker room.

Everyone in the Clippers was silent, and even James didn't stand up to boost morale. Rivers could only give a speech to boost morale. The players responded one after another, yelling vigorously, but seeing their mental state, Rivers secretly sighed In one breath, morale has been slackened, and there is no way to stop the counterattack.

Paul is the backbone of this team, he is crazily competitive, he never admits defeat, his short body hides a passion like a volcanic eruption, but tonight he is silent.

He can't break out, Gatsby's defense is like a big net, he wants to start, Gatsby slows him down with a faster and stronger body, he wants to pass the ball to comb the offense, Gats Bi will always disrupt his rhythm, not because he can't pass the ball, but the pass needs a good timing, and if the timing is wrong, the pass will not have much effect.

At this time, he began to hate his height. Gatsby averaged 10+ assists per game, on the one hand because of his vision and offensive ability, but partly because Gatsby's height among point guards is top-notch , which resulted in Gatsby being able to see the open space of his teammates even when he was being pressed, and was able to send the ball out.

Even Paul has lost confidence, and we cannot expect others to maintain their fighting spirit.

Tonight, Jordan lost the magic of eating cakes. On the one hand, James Paul was restricted. On the other hand, Antetokounmpo was not very good at defensive back-up play, but his high-altitude control was first-rate. His height and wingspan were outstanding. , the speed is also fast, it will be very difficult for the opponent to dunk in an alley-oop.

If it were other centers, Antetokounmpo would still be timid to make three-pointers, but Jordan mainly eats cakes, and his ability to play back-up singles is really limited. There is no other way.

But can Jordan fight for offensive rebounds?

No.

The Knicks' counterattack is unparalleled in the world. If Jordan is fighting for rebounds, he may score if he grabs them, but if he can't grab them, he can't keep up with the Knicks' rhythm!

The speed he was following Antetokounmpo was too fast. That was the speed of a small forward. If Jordan didn't retreat early, he wouldn't be able to keep up!

James' expression was gloomy. This was the first time they played against the Knicks this season. After halftime, James' heart was ashamed. Although he was mentally prepared before the game, by this time, his heart was sinking.

A lineup like the Clippers can't beat the Knicks or Gatsby, so what kind of lineup is needed to beat them?

Are you going to join forces with Curry and Durant?

James' eyes lit up: Huh?
This idea is very interesting.

Curry's off-ball ability is very strong, and Durant's off-ball ability is also very strong. He can hold the ball and add a fast and tall shooter. This can be a match with the Knicks.

James secretly calculated that the salary of the Golden State Warriors is well controlled. Curry and Barnes were both cultivated by themselves. , So in the end, the Warriors were renewed with a super-valuable salary.

Durant's joining is short-term, he only signed a 1+1 contract, and his salary is not high, so he can accept himself again. Is his salary not a problem? There is no problem with a drop. The championship is the most important thing. Well!

James is thinking about whether he can also poach Griffin. Griffin's contract is over after the end of this season. He is now negotiating with the Clippers on the issue of contract renewal. If not this year, they may consider rebuilding.

At that time, Griffin, Paul, and Redick may all be abducted to the Warriors...

Thinking of this, James sighed involuntarily. He didn't want to, Baotuan has a bad reputation, but if he could choose, he would definitely not make such a choice. His going to the Heat to hold a group was forced by the Celtics Yes, it was Gatsby's Knicks who forced us to join the Clippers. Now we are going to join the Golden State Warriors, but Gatsby's Knicks forced him. He is really paralyzed!
I also want to be a good person, but the world is like this, what can I do?

Gatsby didn't stick together, but he just used a better way. He used his excellent vision to select good helpers. It wasn't for the sake of getting more help. Didn't he just not have the right and vision? Then I choose What's wrong with holding a group, I can't lose again!
Besides, if I hadn’t been so obsessed with winning, if I defended one city with one person, I would have a high salary, a high reputation, and the love of fans, wouldn’t that be great?
But I just want to win, this is a competitive athlete!

James suddenly felt at ease.
