the great gatsby

Chapter 98 Humiliation!

Dallas Mavericks office.

Coach Rick Carlisle was studying the opponent for the next game. The video prepared by the editor in advance had been sent to Coach Carlisle's desk. Coach Carlisle called Jason Kidd immediately after watching the video.

Jason Kidd cannot simply be regarded as a player. He is the brain of the team. Bill Walton, father of future Lakers coach Luke Walton and one of the 50 greatest stars in NBA history, once commented on Jason Kidd:
——Jordan, O'Neal, and Duncan can turn a top team into a championship team, but only Kidd can turn a bad team into a top team.

Carlisle trusted Jason Kidd very much and often discussed tactics with Kidd. Kidd also benefited from this, and soon became a head coach after retiring.

"Jason, look at this video, it's very interesting." Carlisle pointed to the video tape being played.

"Oh? Let me see, there are not many that can make you feel interesting." Kidd laughed. This is true. Rick Carlisle has coached the Detroit Pistons, Pacers, and Dallas Mavericks. This is his first coaching In the past nine years, he has seen too many talented people, and not many can make him feel interesting.

Jason Kidd fell into thought after watching the video.

"Jason, what do you think?" Coach Carlisle asked with a smile.

Jason Kidd raised his eyes and smiled: "They have changed a lot. I didn't expect them to come out of the chaos so quickly. The re-established team is also very interesting. Of course, the most interesting thing is this undrafted pick. Compare."

Rick Carlisle nodded approvingly: "The Knicks have picked up a treasure. Apart from sending away those stars and clearing up the salary space, the Knicks' change is probably the rookie Gatsby. Jason, I'm on him. I saw your shadow."

Jason Kidd shook his head: "Not only that, he also has the shadows of Steve Nash and Deron Williams, Nash's three-pointers and fast offense and defense, Deron's breakthrough, and a vision similar to mine."

Rick Carlisle glanced at Kidd in surprise: "You mean his upper limit is higher than the few of you?"

Kidd smiled: "That's not what it means, but there is a possibility. It's just that his physical talent is still inferior to ours. If he can improve his physical fitness, it is not impossible for him to surpass us."

Rick Carlisle smiled: "It's rare to hear you praise a rookie so much. It seems that this rookie is really special."

基德大笑了起来：“教练，这个新秀面对纳什拿下32分12助攻5篮板2抢断，面对德隆拿下45分11助攻3篮板2助攻，这样的一个球员，怎么称赞都不为过吧？”

Coach Carlisle nodded: "That's the truth, are you sure to limit him?"

Kidd shook his head: "It's difficult. If it was a few years ago, it would be possible. Now my speed has slowed down. Don't look at this young man who seems to play very slow, but he is definitely not easy to play. His rhythm It’s great, and he relies on his brain to play, so it’s not easy to guard against.”

Coach Carlisle asked curiously, "Even you don't have the confidence to guard against him?"

Kidd smiled wryly: "I can guard against those players who don't use their brains, but like Gatsby, it is very difficult to guard against a player who plays steadily and always makes the most correct choices."

"That's right. Although Gatsby has breakthroughs and three-pointers, his favorite is to play pick-and-rolls. He is such a strange guy. He plays like an old monster. He doesn't look like a rookie at all. Childish!" Rick Carlisle shook his head.

"Well, but it's nothing. The strength of the Knicks is too different from ours. Even if he explodes, he can't withstand our offense." Jason Kidd is very confident in the team.

The Mavericks this year are indeed very strong. Nowitzki is in very good form this year. The team also has strong players such as Marion, Dampier, Caron Butler, and Jason Terry. In addition, he controls the rhythm himself. Even if the Lakers come I dare not say that the team will definitely be able to win.

Coach Carlisle nodded with a smile. He is indeed quite satisfied with this season's lineup. Although the team's configuration is still a bit flawed, for the Knicks, the Mavericks can definitely crush them.

It was Gatsby’s first visit to the Dallas Mavericks’ locker room, and he looked around curiously. He has always heard that the Dallas Mavericks’ locker room is the most luxurious among all major NBA teams. After walking around for a while, there was no praise. After all, Gatsby is from later generations, and he has seen more luxurious ones.

Compared with this locker room, he is more interested in Nowitzki and Kidd. Nowitzki has been unstoppable in these two seasons, especially after entering the playoffs, Nowitzki is extremely brave , Gatsby is very interested in competing with Nuo Tianwang.

Jason Kidd has a nickname called the old demon. He began to gradually show his old age after the 2001 golden season. Experience still allows Kidd to complete the task of defending the league's top superstars such as Kobe, Durant and James very well.

This is a player who gets older and more demonic, with unparalleled composure and insight on the court.He plays the ball in a simple but gorgeous way, with a delicate atmosphere and a selfless style of play, but he can also stand up at critical moments and save the team from fire and water. Therefore, he is considered one of the best game controllers and point guards in NBA history. one.

If Steve Nash is Gatsby's most admired point guard, and Stephen Curry is Gatsby's favorite elf, then Jason Kidd is Gatsby's most wanted player.

It was Gatsby's dream to be able to compete with such a legendary player. Before the game even started, he was already excited.

"Hey, Gatsby!"

Gatsby looked back and saw Jordan Hill, he smiled and said, "Jordan, what's the matter?"

Jordan Hill took out his mobile phone: "Look at this."

Gatsby saw that even though he was well-bred, he couldn't help frowning. It was an article, and the name of the article was:

——The wishful thinking of losing the draft: I want to be the best rookie!

The title is not very friendly, and more importantly, the content is simply scolding Gatsby for his overreaching. The article is trying to brag for Jennings, but it is extremely humiliating for Gatsby, such as:

——A person who deceives the world and steals the name dares to spy on the best rookie?

——A player with no background, how dare to speak out?

——Young people who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth will one day reveal their true colors...

Such disrespectful words appeared repeatedly in the article. Gatsby looked at the author and thought, hum, it turned out to be Stephen Smith.
