Chapter 171 170. Carter Declares War!
Chapter 171 170. Carter declares war!
The old Hakeem Olajuwon, Antonio Davis, who is negotiating with the team between the maximum starting salary of 11 million and the annual salary of tens of millions, is still relying on talent to play, compared to his handsomeness and personal After all, Carter, who doesn't pay much attention to winning, has not played for a few years but is already twenty-six or seven with no room for improvement in the backcourt combination of Alvin Williams and Keene Clark.
Facing such a lineup, the Eagles have high morale. Unlike the previous time when they were afraid of the opponent's record last season, the Eagles are now a completely different team. Without the anxiety and fear at the beginning of the season, they are now full of energy. All are self-confidence.
This is the confidence to win!
At the beginning of the game, Olajuwon was really old, and the ball was allocated to Jason Terry by Ratliff.
The first ball after the opening was a Raheem single.
The Eagles' starting game has become more and more "structured", and the so-called structure is the order of shots.
The first is of course Raheem, holding the ball with his back facing Carter and digging in.
Carter is the kind of player who gets older and more demonic on the defensive end. In other words, the defense is really weird now and has no energy. Raheem turned his back and made a signature turn and cut into the three-second zone.
Raheem entered the basket almost without hindrance. Even Olajuwon at his peak would find it difficult to stop this situation, not to mention the old dream. Raheem made a very tough layup. two points.
Olajuwon desperately wanted to jump up to block the shot, but he jumped up with all his strength helplessly, but he couldn't catch Raheem's wrist.
Really old!
The superstars who entered the NBA in the mid-1980s are now dying like Olajuwon's block this time.
Turn around and the Raptors attack.
Carter dribbled the ball to the front court by himself, and Raheem came up to defend.
Carter felt that something was wrong when he saw Raheem's eyes, as if it was different from the last time they fought!
If it was Raheem in the past, he scored more than 20 points in each game, grabbed a dozen or so rebounds, and then passed the ball, and a game was over, and he could still get the maximum salary.
But now Raheem seems to have changed from the beginning to the end. His defense was similar to Carter before, depending on his mood.
Generally speaking, like Rahim, with a height of 2.06 meters, a speed no worse than that of a defender, explosive jumping, and a strong body, no matter how he defends, he will not be worse in defense, not to mention that he can compare with Le Brown James, at least has to have Rudy Gay's level of defense, but in the past, Raheem was pretty good except for blocking shots on the inside, and he was serious about defending the outside except when dealing with Iverson and Kobe. He can only be used as an inside deterrent force, and he can't give full play to the advantages of his size.
But it's different now. Raheem takes half a step back to defend against breakthroughs. Using his wingspan far surpassing Carter's, he can jump up to defend against jump shots at any time. The defense is full of pressure!
Carter and Raheem have not played against each other once or twice. When did you see Raheem like this?
The stronger the defense, the more it can inspire the superstar's fighting spirit. Carter didn't think much of Raheem before, but now he finds that the opponent seems very interesting!
Carter is hitting the ball faster and faster, and he is getting serious!
Raheem may not have thought that his focus on defense would make Carter serious, but even if he knew, he would not change his attitude of wanting to prove himself!
Liu Mang was originally surprised that Rahim took the initiative to defend against Carter, but suddenly the system bubbled up.
"Ding... Vince Carter's talent skill Demigod level 4 triggers."
"Half-human, half-god level 4: Carter's exclusive talent skill, speed increased to 97, strength increased to 85, dunk success rate doubled, shooting ability enhanced in all aspects."
Carter was serious! To hell.
At this moment, Carter suddenly burst!
Raheem moved sideways towards Carter for the first time, and the strength of the two was actually evenly matched! You must know that Raheem is eight centimeters taller than Carter!
Moreover, Carter is more explosive! One step away from Raheem!
Raheem quickly retreated, and Carter's threat of dunking under the basket was too great! Even though Carter doesn't actually have a lot of dunks, the combination of the Olympics, the slam dunk contest, and the fact that as long as the dunk is a highlight, people habitually think that Carter is a dunker.
But Carter proved himself to be more than just a dunker!
Carter stepped back and popped out of the three-point line!
Liu Mang kept staring at Carter, and seemed to see a smile on the corner of Carter's mouth!
Withdrew from the three-point line, Carter grabbed the ball with one hand, pulled it up on the spot, and shot a three-pointer!
Rahim reacted extremely quickly and rushed forward!
"Ding... the level 5 trigger of the King of Ganba comes from Vince Carter." Since Liu Mang has been paying attention to Carter, the system will prompt when the skill is triggered!
Originally because of Raheem's interference, this huge height and wingspan gap made Raheem's interference in place, and the slight angle deviation of Carter's forced back was corrected!
"swish"
Carter stepped back and made a hollow three-pointer!
After hitting a three-pointer, Carter glanced at Liu Mang's side, and met Liu Mang's eyes.
It's lit!
Liu Mang felt that he couldn't help getting excited!
Liu Mang now probably understands why so many opponents are interested in him, mainly because of his skin color.
Regarding the issue of skin color in the NBA, many "fans" who actually don't watch the game very much and mostly listen to hearsay will subconsciously think that people of yellow race have come to the NBA, and everyone despises him and will always underestimate him.
In fact, this is not the case, but quite the opposite!
A person of yellow race can gain a foothold in the NBA, but it will make NBA players pay more attention to it, because they think that Asians play small balls and don't know how to play big balls.
In this case, the opponent will pay more attention to this Asian player, because being able to break through layers of obstacles to enter the NBA proves that this Asian player is different from other Asian players!
It's like when European players first entered the NBA, they were often targeted, and they all wanted to see how they were different from European players who played in the World Series.
For example, when Yao Ming entered the NBA, he was targeted all the time as a rookie, but when he later played at the level of the second team of the best team in the league, his reputation and evaluation in the United States was actually much higher than that in China.
Another example is Jeremy Lin. After he played at an amazing level, the opponents did not despise him. Instead, they all wanted to confront him and trample him down.
Strength is strength! If you play well, your opponent will pay attention.
Contempt and value this kind of thing, any field depends on strength, as long as the strength is displayed and a wonderful performance is made, unless the opponent's IQ is low to uncivilized, it is impossible to always underestimate you and let you have the opportunity to perform and let you step on it.
Liu Mang's overall strength may not be taken seriously by those superstars, but his three-pointers, fouls, and courage to fight hard against any opponent all make these superstars very curious.
Like Carter, who likes to make friends, with his curiosity, he officially declared war on Liu Mang's three-pointer!
Carter did it on purpose just now, and deliberately declared war with Liu Mang's very popular step-back three-pointer!
