the great gatsby

Chapter 84 We also have our Big Three!
James Dolan nodded and remained silent. He valued friendship, but he was not a fool—how could a person who can make such a big business be a fool.

The Bulls steadily controlled the proceedings of the game. Madison Square Garden became quiet, and the initial excitement had cooled down. Rookie Gatsby made an exciting start, but was immediately pressed by the Bulls who reacted. After that, the situation was firmly controlled.

The Knicks fans became dissatisfied and shouted, and Gatsby could vaguely hear: we want LeBron! (We want LeBron James!)

Gatsby was a little annoyed. He looked up at the timer. There was still half a quarter left in the fourth quarter, and the score was 12 points behind. Crazy offense can hardly change the current situation.

Although Gatsby has been flanked all the time today, he also scored 20 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. It cannot be said that his performance was not good, but the fans of the Knicks so openly expressed their admiration for LeBron James. Gatsby bristled at the disdain for the Knicks' current players.

The Knicks had the ball. Gatsby dribbled the ball quickly across half court. Rose rushed to fight again. David Lee wanted to come up for a pick-and-roll. Gatsby signaled his teammates to pull away. He was going to start singles mode!

Since the Bulls want to flank, then they should not be given the opportunity to flank. The best way to not give the opponent the chance to flank is James Harden's three-point line singles in later generations. No matter how much the opponent wants to flank, it is impossible for two people to attack directly. Go to the top of the key and double attack, so that even a pig like David Lee will know how to handle the ball.

Gatsby used his arms to create a little space, and dribbled the ball from the crotch to the left. Rose quickly took a step back. A step back to the three-point line, Rose was shocked and quickly took off early to prepare for interference, otherwise it would be too late, but he immediately regretted it after taking off. Gates moved slightly forward, Rose could not avoid it, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Gatsby threw the ball casually and missed, but the referee gave a shooting foul and made three free throws. Gatsby made all three free throws and the score was 86:77.

Rose quickly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, Gatsby followed Rose closely, Ross handed the ball over, Gatsby let Rose take a step, Salmons caught the ball and broke through, Larry Hughes stared hard at Sa Salmons, seeing that he couldn't make a breakthrough, Salmons passed the ball to Rose. Gatsby was already prepared, cut off the passing line directly, copied the ball down and launched a conversion attack.

Ross's speed is much faster than Gatsby's, and he quickly rushed to Gatsby's front. Ross knew that Gatsby would shoot a three-pointer, so he didn't dare to go too far, so he came to pester him. Gatsby's choice was not good. Gatsby made a change of direction and missed Ross and rushed to the basket. Rose followed behind. Gatsby made an emergency stop at the basket.

Gatsby didn't jump up, and waited until Rose fell to jump up against Rose. The referee's whistle sounded again, and the basketball was disturbed, but it rolled and fell into the basket. Rose roared angrily, and Gatsby An extra penalty was made, and the score was 86:80. Seeing that Gatsby was about to rise again, Denagro quickly called a timeout.

"Gatsby is really good. He committed two fouls in a row to Ross. Although Gatsby is younger than Ross, it seems that Gatsby is much more experienced than Ross. Rose has been known for his sophistication since he entered the league, but he was blocked by Gates. Cibi, a rookie who has only played less than 10 games, is down!" Zhang Lili laughed.

"In terms of performance in the rookie season, Gatsby is really much better than Rose. Gatsby's performance in these 8 games, even in the history of the NBA, can also be ranked in the top ten. A rookie with such a performance will either disappear from everyone in the future, or become a superstar, and I hope Gatsby can become the latter." Yang Yi said.

James Dolan's eyes lit up again. In fact, although James Dolan made many decisions that were criticized by others, he was still able to understand the ball. Gatsby's performance today was good enough, and he played an amazing game at the beginning. Performance, although suppressed at other times, still made the right choices, trusting his teammates and giving the ball to teammates who were left open.

Even when he was flanked, Gatsby still maintained a very low turnover rate and gave the ball to the most suitable teammate every time. Although his teammates could not put the ball into the basket because of their ability, but that It's his teammates' problem. Gatsby has achieved the top level in his position.

But it's not enough. It's not enough for the Knicks to have one more dutiful point guard. What they need is the core. So when Gatsby stood up again, James Dolan's eyes lit up again, and he watched with anticipation. The situation on the field.

The game restarts.

The Bull passed the ball to Noah on the inside. Noah finished at the basket. Gatsby quickly caught the ball across the half court. Rose entangled him from the frontcourt. This is Gatsby's arrangement. When it comes to the high pick-and-roll, the Bulls can choose to short David Lee and pinch Gatsby.

But it is difficult to do so in the midfield. The width of the midfield is too large, and it is difficult to form a flank. Gatsby passed by and passed Rose. Noah stepped on the three-point line and waited for Gatsby, but Gatsby But Bi didn't have the slightest thought of breaking through, and directly shot quickly at two steps from the three-point line, or a place farther away, how fast?It's almost like throwing the ball casually and turning away!

Noah: "..."

James Dolan: "..."

D'Antoni: "..."

But at the next moment, Madison Square Garden seemed to be thundered on the ground, and a burst of overwhelming cheers formed a rolling sound wave that swept across the audience, and even the voice of the commentator shouting through the microphone was faintly discernible: "Gatsby... a hit!  … I can’t afford it… Gatsby!”

James Dolan couldn't help but jumped up from his seat, raised his hands high, and shouted with the fans: "The Great Gatsby!!!"

At 88:83, the Knicks narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

Gatsby scored his 29th point!
"This is the leader we want!" James Dolan asserted.

Donnie Walsh asked anxiously, "What about our superstar project?"

James Dolan exhaled a breath of smoke: "This is not a conflict, Donnie, look at the disgusting green-blooded giants now, haven't they now formed the Big Three? We also need to have our Big Three!"
