the great gatsby

Chapter 77 Everyone Loves Gatsby!
Kobe didn't catch the ball at this time, Chandler picked it up, Gatsby took the ball from Chandler, dribbled one step and flicked the ball forward with one hand, the basketball crossed the entire court and went forward The basket fell.

Larry Hughes appeared under the basket and directly caught the ball and dunked!

"Wow!!! Rugby-style pass, Larry Hughes lob dunks! Gorgeous offense, the Knicks played like the Lakers!" Mark Jackson praised.

"Kobe didn't get cheap from Gatsby's defense. He was cut off by Gatsby three times in a row and allowed Gatsby to score twice. Mike, should you change your opinion?" Jie said. Van Gundy made fun of Mike Breen.

Mike Breen said sarcastically: "This kid's hands are really fast, but I still believe in Kobe. Kobe's strength cannot be limited by one person. This is real."

Jeff Van Gundy nodded: "I believe this, but Gatsby also proved himself, right?"

"OK, I admit that what I said is still a bit biased. Here I apologize to the young man Gatsby." Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Haha, that boy will forgive you." Mark Jackson also said with a smile.

It is indeed difficult for Gatsby to pose too much threat to Kobe. His defense does make Kobe afraid, but if he wants to limit Kobe, I am afraid that Gary Payton may not be able to do it himself.

Then Kobe beat Gatsby twice under the basket, and then he was satisfied and went to beat Larry Hughes. Gatsby was dumbfounded - you have to hit me twice to be happy?
The Lakers were fully fired, especially Kobe, who scored 22 points in the third quarter. Although Gatsby tried his best to sort out the offense, he barely maintained the score when he was on the court. When the rotation came, the talent of the players After all, it is still not as good as the Lakers, and the Lakers opened up a 10-point difference in half a quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Gatsby turned on the crazy mode, but the Lakers were already in full swing. Gatsby almost single-handedly faced off against the behemoth Los Angeles Lakers, and was ultimately defeated. At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 108:118, and the Lakers Beat the Knicks at home.

科比全场得到了45分6篮板4助攻，加索尔得到22分12篮板5助攻，费舍尔只得到6分3篮板2助攻。

尼克斯这边加里纳利得到18分4篮板2助攻，大卫李得到19分8篮板3助攻，艾灵顿得到15分3篮板，盖慈比得到36分12助攻4篮板5抢断，另外有2个失误。

After the game, Kobe took the initiative to hug Gatsby. Kobe made no secret of his appreciation for Gatsby, and spared no effort to praise Gatsby in an interview:
"Who is the Rookie of the Year this year? My favorite is Gatsby. He will become a superstar, an incredible rookie.

You know, I met Gatsby in the gym this morning, and then we had two contests, first the three-point contest, and Gatsby completely crushed me.

The second is heads-up... It's not called heads-up, he defends and I attack. Although it ends in my victory, he is the most tenacious and fierce defender I have ever seen.

He is not afraid of confrontation. Even though he is about 15kg lighter than me, he still uses his thin chest to withstand my impact. He has won my respect. Although he looks like a girl, he is a real person. A tough guy who doesn't buckle up, and besides, he's really handsome. "

The reporters who interviewed Kobe were a little dumbfounded. They had never seen Kobe praise a player so much. Kobe was arrogant. Except for Michael Jordan, no one could make him say words of obvious admiration.

Could it be that... Kobe was conquered by Gatsby's beauty, and Kobe is gay?

Gatsby once again became the headlines of the media. Kobe, the superstar with his own traffic, the league's No. 1 praised Gatsby so much, and Gatsby instantly rose to a higher level.

Some reporters have made statistics. From the regular season to now, Gatsby has played in a total of six games:

Facing the Heat, scored 17 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals;

面对费城76人砍下29分7助攻3篮板3抢断；

Facing the Milwaukee Bucks, scored 26 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals;

面对犹他爵士砍下45分11助攻3篮板2助攻的惊人数据，全场三分16中11；

Scored 32 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals against the Phoenix Suns;

Facing the Los Angeles Lakers, he scored 36 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds and 5 steals!

How amazing is Gates than this data, let's first look at the data of the first six games of Kobe Bryant, the No.1 in the league today:

Scored 33 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals against the Los Angeles Clippers;

Facing the Dallas Mavericks, scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists;

Facing the Atlanta Hawks, scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals;

Scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals against the Oklahoma City Thunder;

Scored 41 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals against the Houston Rockets;

Facing the Memphis Grizzlies, he scored 41 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

In addition to the data of this game, from this comparison, although Gatsby's scoring average is inferior to Kobe's, Gatsby's average shots per game are only two-thirds of Kobe's, and his assists are far higher than Kobe's!

This reporter integrated this data comparison into an article and published it, which aroused huge attention. Who is Kobe Bryant?

From 07-08, 08-09, and 09-10 seasons, he has been the league's No. 1 in the league for three years, and Gatsby, a rookie, is not inferior to Kobe in terms of statistics. What a horror!
And Gatsby's way of playing is refreshing. His style of play is different from the current league's style of play. Gatsby respects three-pointers and speed. As a point guard, he always likes to hand over the ball, and then Running off the ball, tearing apart the opponent's defense and creating opportunities for teammates.

A reporter interviewed Knicks players and said who is the most popular player in the Knicks. Except for a few players, almost most players would say Gatsby.

David Lee put it this way: "Of course it's Gatsby. When a player can score [-] points in [-] shots, and always feed you lobs and dunks, how can you not like him?"

Gallinari said this: "There is no doubt that it is Gatsby. He made me understand the charm of the high pick-and-roll, and the corner three-pointer can also become the focus of attention. It is impossible for me not to love him."

Duhon said this: "Yes, he took my starting position, but it also gave me a taste of victory. I think he is our core now. I should hate him, right? But I don't , I love him, he has such charisma, he is a born leader!"
