Chapter 623 The Amazing Gatsby!

In the second game, the Golden State Warriors pulled back a game at home. This time Gatsby faced the opponent's targeted defense. There were two people pinching Gatsby in the audience. Even under such circumstances, Gatsby still scored. 60+ triple-double, if it wasn't for the teammates' lack of performance, the Knicks might still win the game.

In the third game, back to Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks, the Knicks’ role players found themselves, but the Golden State Warriors still chose to pinch Gatsby. This time, the Golden State Warriors’ defense was pierced by the Knicks , the Knicks were accurate from beyond the three-point line, the Golden State Warriors were forced to spread out the defense, and Gatsby got the best spacing since the Finals.

Gatsby almost broke through the Golden State Warriors' defense alone. In this game, Gatsby sent 18 assists and scored 42 points and 12 rebounds. Gatsby's performance was amazing. It's the finals, after all, the opponent is the Super Golden State Warriors, Galaxy Battleship!

But the Golden State Warriors are the Golden State Warriors after all. In the fourth game, Curry exploded. He hit 12 three-pointers alone!
This kind of Curry has no way to defend. Later, Gatsby took the initiative to defend Curry, but it was useless. Gatsby has the skill of Curry. He knows that once this skill is used to the extreme, there is no way to defend it. , and Gatsby couldn't help it.

Curry's ultra-long three-pointer forced the Knicks' defense to spread out by about half a meter. In this range, the Knicks' defense was penetrated by James and Durant!
The energy of the Golden State Warriors is far more than that. In the battle of Tianwangshan, Durant performed superbly and scored 40 points to help the Golden State Warriors win the battle of Tianwangshan!
The Knicks lost the battle of Tianwangshan, and all the public opinion turned against the Knicks in an instant. Many experts were not optimistic about the Knicks. Now that the Golden State Warriors have won two cities in a row, it proves that the Knicks are not the opponents of the Golden State Warriors. .

The morale of the Knicks team has also dropped a lot, not because they don't think highly of themselves, but because the Golden State Warriors' lineup is really scary.

Gatsby didn't say too many encouraging words. It's normal when morale is low after losing a game. It's useless to say more at this time. It's better to regain the advantage during the game. Once the start goes well, other people's confidence will follow suit. come back.

Game [-] of the finals was held at Madison Square Garden. Knicks fans were anxious before the game. This was the biggest dilemma for the Knicks. The Knicks must win two games in a row to win the championship, but before that , The Knicks have lost two games in a row. If they lose again tonight, this year's championship will be handed over to the Golden State Warriors!
But how could Gatsby allow such a thing to happen, he never lost the finals, this is his eighth time to enter the finals, he won all the previous seven championships, this time he will not allow any accidents!

Gatsby tried his best from the very beginning. He decided to use up all his strength in the first two quarters and then use the system to recover at halftime. How terrifying is Gatsby who is going all out?
Gatsby scored 39 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds at halftime!

As the main defender of Gatsby, Barnes, in the first two quarters, he defended Gatsby for one quarter, and then there was no way to defend. Let James and Durant take turns to defend, Barnes, Duran In particular, James received three fouls on Gatsby, and Gatsby scored 16 points on free throws alone!
In ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy's commentary, he described Gatsby's offense as unstoppable 21 times in a row. Tonight's Gatsby is indeed unstoppable, because Gatsby gave up some organization to sort out the offense. His eyes tonight Only the basket!

If it were any other player, when his eyes were only on the basket, his coach would probably be pissed off, and the opponent's coach would clap his hands and laugh, but Gatsby...he was just unstoppable!

Fans who watched the game later did not know how unstoppable Michael Jordan was or how powerful Kobe was, but when they saw Gatsby, they completely felt that no matter who Kobe or Jordan were, they could not reach the level of Gatsby. Cibi is such a height.

Old fans who watched from Michael Jordan's era agreed: "Well, what you think is right!"

But Gatsby's style of play is not without cost. After the first half, Gatsby exhausted all his energy. Everyone could see Gatsby's heavy breathing and staggering steps. Cole was secretly happy when he saw it. This is the effect he wants to achieve. In the first half, Cole constantly consumed Gatsby. Whether it is James, Durant, or Curry, as long as the guard Gatsby is replaced, he must play singles, which is to exhaust Gatsby. physical strength!

Gatsby was also happy. While looking seriously exhausted, he continued to defend against the Warriors' offense. At the end of the half, the Knicks led the Golden State Warriors by 12 points.

For such a result, Cole is very happy, and Gatsby is also very happy, but the rest of the Knicks are not happy, not because Gatsby played alone, but everyone knows that Gatsby is the team If Gatsby lacks physical strength in the second half, it will be difficult for the Knicks to fight against the Golden State Warriors!
Thompson said to Gatsby in the locker room: "Gatsby, take a break for the second half and let me do the top, so you can recover your strength as soon as possible."

Seeing Thompson's serious worry, Gatsby smiled and said, "Don't worry, a 10-minute break is enough, I'm going to play the whole game tonight!"

D'Antoni said worriedly: "Gatsby, don't hold on. It's too easy to get injured when your body is too tired. I would rather lose the finals this time than get hurt. You can still play for ten years. Our chances in the future There are a lot more."

Everyone else nodded, especially Green: "Gatsby, we are not vegetarians, rest assured, we will resist!"

Gatsby smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm really fine!"

If anyone trusts Gatsby the most, it is of course the Knicks teammates, because this team was formed by Gatsby. Ever since they entered the league, they have been watching Gatsby perform miracles. They have not been disappointed!

They even had a solid superstition about Gatsby!

Gatsby said yes, there was nothing wrong with that.

Gatsby took a bath to regain his strength and got into the bathroom. After a while, he came out and took a bath. He felt as refreshed as if he had never played a game.

Green and the others praised, but they still had some doubts about whether Gatsby could play the full two quarters in the second half, because Gatsby's exercise volume tonight was really amazing, and both offensive and defensive ends had to bear the heaviest tasks. Any one of them thinks that they are in Gatsby's position, and I am afraid that they will exhaust their energy in one game!
