the great gatsby

Chapter 93 New Discovery!
The Rockets didn't have enough fouls, and there were no free throws. The Knicks served the ball in the frontcourt, and Gatsby received the ball and directed the movement near the logo.

David Lee went to the top of the arc to catch the ball. Gatsby bypassed David Lee and passed the ball to the middle of the court. He took a sudden step and passed the ball to Larry Hughes at a 45-degree angle.

He turned around and ran to the corner to catch the ball with a three-pointer. Lowry quickly followed the defense. Gatsby gave up the three-pointer and broke through inside, attracting the Rockets' inside contraction.

Gatsby passed the ball to Jared Jeffries who was ambushing under the basket, and Jeffries made a dunk!
34:35!Gatsby's fifth assist!

In fact, the Knicks are not without long men. Jeffries is. Jeffries is 211cm tall and weighs 249 pounds (108.9Kg). was selected by the Wizards.

This guy is actually a tragic figure. He has a defensive expert-level defense and is called "the ultimate defensive expert" by many American experts.

截止到2010年2月4日，他总共制造41次进攻犯规，每40分钟制造的进攻犯规次数达到1.27次，排名全联盟第一。

——His defensive efficiency ranks sixth in the league!

However, what do people think of him:
What position does he play?
——Center?He doesn't have that strength, and he doesn't have the technical moves that a center forward should have;
--Power Forward?He can't fight, can't bear it;
——What about the small forward?His offensive methods are too few. "

Jeffries barely played in the paint because of his poor handle and shooting ability.Defensively, he can't guard against real big players.

His career is also very tragic. When he was in the Wizards, the Wizards did not lack scorers. Arenas, Butler, and Jamison could each play their own roles, so Jeffries does not need to bear too much on offense. Responsibility, he The main role is defense.

他在四年内替奇才打了256场比赛，出手最多的那个赛季也只有5.6次，但他依然能够提供6.1分、4.8篮板及1.6助攻的火力支持；
After arriving at the Knicks, the Knicks already have Marbury, Francis, Crawford and Richardson, what else can Jeffries do?

Later, Randolph also joined in. When the manager and coach led the players to make the locker room full of smog, Jeffries didn't have any mood to play well.

So over the years, his skills have not improved at all. He is the kind of player who is delayed. With his physical condition, if he goes to a team that is good at cultivating rookies, his career will definitely not be like this.

Jeffries this season is on the verge of being purged. He is playing hard and wants to get himself a good contract.

However, from Gatsby's point of view, Jeffries is not useless to the Knicks. He was introduced to the Knicks by Isaiah Thomas. Thomas' deal is still known as one of the worst deals. But Thomas' evaluation of Jeffries is quite pertinent.

Thomas said -- for a player of his size, his ball-handling skills are unique, he's so versatile, you can make different changes to the lineup every night.

According to Gatsby's observations, Jeffries is indeed good at dominating the ball, but Jeffries is seriously lacking in self-confidence, which has caused many flaws in his confident domination of the ball.

For a player who dominates the ball, he must have a heart that can withstand pressure, because the most important thing in dominating the ball is timing.

Some balls have to be distributed quickly, some balls have to wait, which players can give the ball in which positions, and which players can ignore them in certain positions. All these require the player who controls the ball to have a big heart.

Gatsby has been thinking hard about how to improve the Knicks recently, but he has been unable to find a way, but after seeing Jeffries, he has some ideas.

First of all, when Jeffries is on the court, he can exist as a defensive sweeper. Although he can't guard the big man, he may not be able to guard the small player against the big man, but he is perfect as a defensive sweeper. He has height, There is also speed, which can achieve unlimited defense;
Secondly, although he doesn't have any offensive means, he is a very good pick-and-roll player. He has speed and height. As long as Gatsby is on the court, he has room to play, and he can even become a - Pie Mamba!

In the end, what Gatsby wants most is to make Jeffries the core of the team's operation in the rotation. How good it is, as long as he can become a qualified central axis, the Knicks' rotation can take on a completely new look!
The more Gatsby thought about it, the more excited he became. He was confident that he had found the key to making Knicks stronger!
He excitedly ran over and patted Jeffries on the shoulder, encouraging Jeffries: "Jared, you did a great job!"

Jeffries was a little flattered. Years of neglect had worn away his confidence. Gatsby is now the team's key training target. On the other hand, Gatsby is the boss of the team. The boss encouraged him so much. Let him feel full of energy!
Rocket right.

Lowry's overall view and ability to control the rhythm are much better than Brooks. Gatsby is starting up, but Lowry is slowing down. He slowly dribbles the ball across the frontcourt, and then settles down to play the position.

The Rockets found an opportunity by conducting the ball, and Landry, who passed the ball to the inside, scored one, 34:37!

Gatsby wanted to experiment with some ideas, but instead of speeding up, he dribbled the ball across the frontcourt and asked down, let the others settle down, and called Jeffries to the high pick-and-roll.

Jeffries moved up quickly, and his pick-and-roll was very solid, blocking Lowry at once. Gatsby moved to the side to get rid of Lowry's defense, and Chuck Hayes could only let go of Jeffries.

Gatsby quickly dribbled the ball to the side, bringing both Chuck Hayes and Lowry over, Jeffries quickly slid down, Gatsby slid the ball inside, Jeffries caught the ball and dunked succeed!
"Sure enough!" Gatsby was delighted. Although Jeffries didn't have any offensive skills, relying on his speed, jumping and wingspan, he could go a long way on the road to eating cakes!

D'Antoni's eyes lit up. He hadn't discovered that Jeffries could be used in this way. Although Jeffries had occasionally performed before, the team lacked such an excellent point guard, so Jeffries had no chance to perform like this.

Today, under the deployment of Gatsby, Jeffries also seemed to be agile, and D'Antoni also had some new ideas. He decided to have a good talk with Gatsby after the game.
