the great gatsby

Chapter 88 Trip to Texas!

The Knicks were in trouble, and it was even more so for Gatsby, who struggled a lot, and his opponents forced him to break through and use the mid-range to solve the problem, but the mid-range is difficult to grasp, and even for some people, The middle distance is even more difficult than the three-pointer.

There is a reference object for three-pointers, but there is no mid-range. It all depends on temporary adjustments. Some three-point marksmen, if you let him shoot mid-range, his shooting rate is not as good as three-pointers. Gatsby is because three-pointers are learned. skills, but CIC has not learned it yet, so he fell into such a predicament.

However, this is not just a question of the same skill, but Gatsby's performance has attracted the attention of others. When you are an unknown player, you play better, and others will not set up defenses against you, but since you have become a ball If you are the core of the team, then defeating you can defeat the team, it is a matter of course to arrange defensive tactics against you.

D'Antoni was afraid that Gatsby's confidence would be hit, so he chatted with Gatsby when the team was about to go on a trip to Texas.

"Coach, where are you looking for me?" Gatsby said with a smile.

D'Antoni was a little stunned. He thought Gatsby would be dejected, but Gatsby is a very mature young man, and it is understandable that he can adjust his mood.

"Yeah, I came to you to talk to you." D'Antoni said gently.

"Well, does the coach want to talk to me about my recent performance?" Gatsby laughed.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to blame you, I just want to discuss this issue with you." D'Antoni quickly explained, don't blame him for being cautious, sometimes if communication between people is not careful, it may cause gap.

"Coach, I understand, I am also thinking about this problem, but I really can't think of any way to solve this situation. The opponent forces me to enter the three-point line, but my mid-range shot is not stable, so they You can cut off the passing route between me and my teammates, and then let me shoot. The more I shoot in the past few games, the less confident I am!" Gatsby finally showed a distressed expression.

D'Antoni laughed, and now this young man finally has the appearance of a young man. He shook his head and said, "Gatsby, do you know what your problem is?"

Gatsby shook his head.

"You always pursue perfection too much. I don't know why you refuse mid-range shots so much. I see that when you play on the court, you always want to shoot three-pointers. Is it because you are more accurate?" D'Antoni asked road.

Gatsby said embarrassedly: "This is a reason, more because I think three-pointers are more efficient, mid-range shots are a low-efficiency style of play, so..."

D'Antoni: "That's why you hesitate every time you make a mid-range shot?"

Gatsby nodded a little embarrassedly.

D'Antoni: "..."

"Coach, don't worry, I will take action decisively in the next game!" Gatsby scratched his head.

The trip to Texas has always been known as the whetstone of a strong team, and it cannot be called a real strong team without the baptism of the top three in Texas.

The top three in Texas refer to the Dallas Mavericks, the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs. The top three in Texas have the Rockets are strong, the Mavericks are weak, and the Spurs are very old. It means that the Rockets are very strong in the regular season and poor in the playoffs. The Mavs look weak and the Spurs are old.

But every time some strong teams come to Texas to play, they are always unhappy. Therefore, there is a consensus in the league: If you think you are a strong team, it is not really a strong team. Let’s go to Texas first and then discuss it. .

The Knicks' first game was an away game against the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets had a difficult season. Yao Ming suffered a fracture in his left foot on May 5 and was announced to be out for the season.

2008-09赛季，麦克格雷迪因伤只代表火箭出场35场比赛，场均出场33.7分钟，得到15.6分、4.4个篮板和5次助攻，命中率只有38.8%。

This season, McGrady played 6 games on behalf of the Rockets. He averaged 7.7 minutes per game, 3.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1 assist. It can be said that McGrady has lost his magic.

Who is the Houston Rockets relying on now?
Luis Scola, Trevor Ariza, Aaron Brooks, Chuck Hayes, Shane Battier, Carl Landry, Kyle Lowry, David Anderson and others.

The so-called civilian team refers to the Houston Rockets, but so far, their record is 6 wins and 3 losses, which is not bad, ranking fourth in the Western Conference...

Gatsby came to Houston and received a call from Yao Ming. Yao Ming asked Gatsby to come to Yao's restaurant to meet. Yao Ming was able to walk and came to the restaurant door to wait for Gatsby. Seeing Gatsby, Yao Ming was very enthusiastic.

"Hey, GATSBY..." Yao Ming greeted warmly.

"Hey, Brother Yao, just speak Mandarin, I'm very good at Mandarin!" Gatsby laughed.

"Hey, your mandarin is indeed very good, I thought you are Chinese, and you should be a bit reluctant to speak mandarin." Yao Ming said.

"Haha, it's nothing. Although I'm American, I'm definitely Chinese in my heart, and my heart is definitely a red Chinese heart!" Gatsby laughed.

Yao Ming was amused by Gatsby's wit, and he opened his arms to hug Gatsby. Gatsby was embraced by Yao Ming, and he was embarrassed to find that he was really short...

The two of them arrived at the private room inside. Yao Ming had already arranged the dishes, and they were ready in a short while. Since there was a game tomorrow, Yao Ming only compared Gates with juice, and the two chatted while eating.

"I heard that you intend to participate in the World Championships this year?" Yao Ming asked.

"Yes, if the country needs it, I also made it clear during the interview that if the country needs it, I can give up my American citizenship. It depends on whether the relevant parties have the determination." Gatsby laughed.

Yao Ming nodded, then shook his head slightly: "This matter is not that simple. After all, there is no such precedent before. Your statement is very good, and it is very good for your reputation in China, but you are not afraid of being affected in the United States. ?"

Gatsby smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's okay to be a national player, you should get your salary, you should get your salary, and you should get your advertising fee.

Those American businessmen will not stop making money from me just because I become a Chinese, nor will they give me hundreds of thousands more just because I am an American. Talent is the greatest support.

Although we rejuvenate the country through industry or go to war for the country, we are also contributing to the country by promoting our country's prestige in cultural and sports, but I am still an American. Brother Yao should not be ridiculous when he says this. "

A friend reminded me that there is no recommendation ticket if I don’t add it—I have to say this, the new book issue cannot be updated too quickly, otherwise it will be forced to be put on the shelves when the word count is reached. If the new book issue is too short, the grade of the book will be affected, so , I still have the cheek to recommend a ticket to the ball!Ask for votes! ! !
