the great gatsby

Chapter 635 That's Our Youth!

In his first season as head coach, Gatsby won the championship. In the second season, the Knicks' cooperation became more sophisticated. Although Antetokounmpo had declined, he took the initiative to give up to Fat Tiger, who was worthy of being the number one pick that year. In his rookie season, he was repeatedly injured because of being overweight, so he simply lost weight and became a small forward.

After successfully losing weight, Fat Tiger's flexibility and jumping have been further enhanced. Over the years, he has honed his superb skills and reached the peak step by step. Although he has lost a lot of weight, he is still unstoppable at the small forward position Can live.

Madison Garden Square, Antetokounmpo and others stood aside to watch the battle with great interest. Thompson Green and the others became Gatsby's assistants. They also watched Fat Tiger and Gatsby with curiosity.

Gatsby is 42 years old this year, but he looks very young and his body is still in good shape.

Gatsby dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and Zion defended cautiously. Gatsby broke through with a scissors step, shaking Zion two meters away. Gatsby easily hit a three-pointer, and Thompson and others on the sidelines cheered loudly.

Green praised: "Boss is still the same as before, why doesn't he play for a few more years, according to his physical condition, playing for a few more years is no problem at all!"

Thompson smiled and said: "No more challenges. I always win. It's no longer interesting to think about it."

Brother Antetokounmpo nodded in agreement.

On the court, Zion was crying secretly. Although he was at his peak, it was difficult to defend against Gatsby, but Gatsby really couldn't defend against him. Gatsby hid every move. Countless fake moves, if you don't pay attention, they immediately become real moves, and the speed is very fast, you can pass him in one step, what a monster, you are 42 years old, and you can still maintain such a good physical condition!

Gatsby defeated Zion 10:8, but he was a little short of breath. In recent years, he has not given up training. Even when he was the boss, he often trained with the team. D'Antoni often persuaded him to play for a few more years. But Gatsby felt that it was meaningless.

The regular season schedule of the season is deep, and the Knicks played very well. At the end, the Knicks won 64 wins, which is a very good result. After entering the playoffs, the Knicks did not encounter any challenges in the Eastern Conference and successfully entered the finals. In the finals, the Knicks defeated the Kings to win the championship this season.

The next season, under the leadership of Gatsby, the Knicks won another championship. The Knicks once again completed a dynasty. After the season ended, Antetokounmpo announced his retirement. He is 37 years old and feels that he can no longer keep up with young people. out of pace.

The Knicks are too strong, and other teams are unwilling to let the Knicks strengthen. Gatsby has taken a fancy to many people, but other teams are unwilling to trade with the Knicks even if they suffer losses. Gatsby has always In anger, he decided to end himself, and he announced that he would become a player again.

This news shocked the entire league, but it also attracted a lot of ridicule. Gatsby is already 44 years old this season. If he comes back to play with young people at this age, he is looking for abuse. People around him have tried to dissuade Gatsby. Comparing Michael Jordan's two years with the Wizards at the end of his career, Gatsby was unconvinced and had to give it a try.

Gatsby was very stubborn, and the others had no choice but to obey. Green temporarily took over the position of head coach.

At the beginning of the new season, Gatsby teamed up with Ball and Zion to form the so-called Big Three, but other teams are just watching it as a joke. Whose Big Three is 44 years old, everyone is waiting Watch the joke.

Most of Gatsby's fans are greasy middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s. When they heard that Gatsby is back, they all burst into tears. They remembered who they were chasing Gatsby back then. Their youth, now that Gatsby is back on the court, it must not be the same as before, but as long as he runs on the court, it will be fine.

These fans brought their sons and some even brought their grandchildren to watch the game. They pointed to Gatsby and said, this is our biggest idol back then, not just a basketball idol, but a cross-border idol.

Their grandson asked, Grandpa, why does he look like he is 30 years old, not in his 40s at all.

The old fan laughed and said, it's normal for a person with a god-like appearance like Gates to be younger.

Gatsby's return set off a wave of nostalgia in the league for a while. When young fans only knew Zion, Barrett, and Doncic, suddenly a legendary name appeared, like The ancestors who returned from ancient times suddenly appeared in front of me, and I came back again.

Well, consider it a history lesson.

Thinking of the young fans, they looked at those middle-aged uncles and aunts who were crying, and curled their lips in disdain.

We admit that this Gatsby is a very handsome middle-aged man. Even my girlfriend has stars in her eyes. But after all, he is 44 years old. In the arena, strength is what counts. A 44-year-old old man, What else can you do, cheer and shout?
Not only the fans think so, but the opponent Golden State Warriors also think so, especially those little guys who have just entered the league. When they see Gatsby, they not only lose respect, but also want to provoke Gatsby.

Green and Thompson looked at each other and smiled. These little guys really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Those veterans who had experienced the Gatsby era did not dare to make trouble, one by one honestly came to chat with Gatsby, and inevitably asked Gatsby to show mercy. Although they knew in their hearts that Gatsby was over 40 years old, they must It's not as good as before, but no one knows how much power Gatsby has retained, um...even if it's [-]%, those little guys will suffer a lot!

After the game started, Madison Square Garden was boiling. Gatsby didn’t look like a 44-year-old man at all. He could still run and jump. A young man who challenged him the most was capped twice by him, and then he even caught the ball No more, looking at the immature face of the young man, he was about to cry, so Gatsby patted the young man on the shoulder and let him go.

The opponent's head coach is also Gatsby's old acquaintance, Stephen Curry, quickly replaced the young man, and sighed during the timeout: "Gatsby, when will you be old!"

Gatsby smiled.

The Knicks beat the Golden State Warriors at home. Gatsby scored 48 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds. He proved his return with a triple-double in the first game!
The young fans were dumbfounded;
The rest of the league was dumbfounded;
Those celebrities in the NBA Hall of Fame came out to condemn Gatsby one after another, and should not come out to bully the children again;
Tears filled the eyes of the old fans—that was our youth!
