Chapter 834 The Transformation of Demigod (4K)

Vince Carter single-handedly ignited a country's football market.

One person, one country!

All of Canada is a fan of demigods.

This is no lie!

What was the Canadian basketball market like before Vince Carter came to the Vancouver Grizzlies?

No fans like to play basketball outdoors in the snow and ice everywhere. They prefer ice hockey. It can be said that ice hockey is the most favorite sport among Canadian fans.

But when the second-in-command of Mamba Sports, half-man, half-god Vince Carter, entered the Vancouver Grizzlies, the changes in just a few years surprised even Stern!

Stern originally planned to move the Vancouver Grizzlies back to the United States!

Originally, the Raptors and Grizzlies teams were established to establish the North American ball market. The two teams that also joined the league in 1995 were almost in a state of loss in the first few years after entering the league.

A large number of games with empty seats in the stadium. Only when a limited number of legendary teams come here to play away games will the arena be full.

Stern also provided some high-quality players to these two teams, but the players were unwilling to stay in a foreign country covered in ice and snow, and the fans were not attracted by these second-tier stars.

When Carter joins the league, everything changes!

Vince Carter is second only to Kobe in terms of aesthetic appreciation of basketball in the league. Many fans even think that Carter's basketball is better.

He produced All-Star level data in the first few years of his career, and he made a mark almost every year. As the team gradually strengthened, he also grew into a superstar!

Demi-god!

If Kobe and Jordan are the gods of basketball, then Vince Carter is the player closest to them in this era.

The dunk of the century at the World Championships solidified his title as the strongest dunk king in history!

Even the dunks of Jordan, Dr. J, Kobe, Wilkins and others were not as shocking as Carter!

Carter's basketball shoe sales, thanks to the overwhelming publicity and sales of Mamba Sports' global sales, are second only to Kobe and Jordan! It is the third best-selling brand of basketball shoes on the market.

You must know that many times a star's popularity depends on whether his sneakers sell well! Carter was able to beat Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Hill, Pence and others to win the third largest sneaker sales, which is enough to show the terrifying popularity of Carter!

And with the addition of Payton, Gasol, Battier and others, this Grizzlies team is full of stars!

Needless to say, the former superstar Glove Payton! A player who could lead his team to the finals and compete with Jordan at his peak.

Gasol! Spanish basketball genius! A BUG player with guard skills, center height, and historic wingspan.

President Shane Battier! King of Duke University! He dominated the NCAA for four years. After coming to the NBA, his defense and fixed-point three-pointers have matured immediately. He is the most reliable outside partner next to Carter.

Raheem, the No. 3 pick of the 1996 golden generation who entered the league before Carter, is a 20+10 machine, an All-Star power forward in the league second only to Duncan, Garnett, and Nowitzki.

Such a lineup is full of talent!

They won 60+ games last season, and Carter's MVP voting was second only to Hill and O'Neal.

The Grizzlies' goal this year is to reach the finals!

Maybe they are still a little young and it is still difficult to win the championship.

But Carter is mentally prepared to win the MVP award and lead the team to the Western Conference Finals.

"This is Vancouver, Canada! This is the live broadcast of the NBA regular season Lakers vs. Grizzlies!"

"Countless fans rushed into the Vancouver Coliseum crazily. Since Carter led this team, Canadian fans have become more and more crazy about basketball!~"

"Kobe Carter, a duel between the most popular guards in the league right now!"

"After Jordan retires, who will be Kobe's opponent in the future league? Iverson? Carter? McGrady? Or Hill?"

"Maybe Carter is not as good as Kobe now, but the overall strength of this Grizzlies team is definitely far stronger than the Lakers."

"There are five teams that have won all the games so far. In the West, the Lakers, Grizzlies, and Rockets all top the list. And after this game, one team must fall down."

Yao Ming and Gasol walked to the center of the court.

The two new non-American insiders looked at each other with curiosity.

One is this year's No. 1 pick, and the other is last year's No. 3 pick. They beat traditional American center Tyson Chandler and Kwame Brown, whose physical fitness is comparable to the three major centers, to win the Rookie of the Year award.

They are both skilled centers, their physical fitness is much worse than those of the American players, and their playing styles are even very similar.

Yao Ming and Gasol seem to have a premonition that in the future, the two of them will become each other's opponents in various basketball series around the world, not just the NBA, but also international competitions.

Spain is now the world's top basketball team after the United States.

Chinese basketball is on the rise, with three NBA-level insiders, and they have reached the top 8 in two consecutive Olympic Games.

They will be each other's destined enemies!

The Lakers have won six consecutive games, and Kobe averaged 37+10+10 in six games.

Carter is averaging a career-high 32+7+7 points per game.

There is no doubt that the two of them are the strongest defenders in the Western Conference now!

"Kobe! Now I have a group of excellent teammates around me! Are you ready to be beaten?" Seeing Kobe, Gary Payton felt itchy and couldn't help but come up and start talking trash.

"Gary, I seem to have heard this sentence many times." Kobe shrugged.

This summer, if Payton didn't think the Grizzlies had a better chance, he even considered going to the Lakers.

West's invitation is still very tempting.

However, the Lakers' five-crown dynasty has collapsed. Going to the Lakers at this time is tantamount to taking over the blame. Accompany the Lakers through several seasons of rebuilding and then reach the top?

Payton doesn't have this patience, and he's not too young either.

Payton, 34, wants to start and win a championship.

Considering several strong teams, the Grizzlies are undoubtedly the best choice.

Team boss Carter is known for his docile personality, his style of play is not ball dominant, and he is good at off the ball.

The team also has a large number of outstanding young people.

This is undoubtedly Payton's best choice.

"The players on both sides are already in place! The game has officially begun!"

Yao Ming and Gasol jump ball!

Gasol's height is 2.13 meters! But his wingspan reached an exaggerated 2.3 meters!

Although Yao Ming is slightly taller, his wingspan is much inferior.

After a jump ball between the two, Gasol finally had the upper hand and gave the ball to Payton.

Glove Payton advances with the ball!

A series of passes from the outside, and the basketball was handed to Gasol!

Like most teams, the Grizzlies chose to attack from the inside.

The Lakers' penalty zone defense is the biggest flaw in their entire defensive system!

Gasol beats Yao Ming in singles!

First, the face frame shook a few times, but Yao Ming remained unmoved.

Then Gasol turned his back and tried to eat hard.

"That's it?" Yao Ming stood up and disagreed. This power is far inferior to that of an admiral!

Gasol squeezed Yao Ming, leaving no room for action!

Covered to death!

Every space is sealed by Yao Ming!

Be strong! The hook pops out of the frame!

"Rebound!" Yao Ming turned around and blocked Gasol, and the basket was instantly cluttered!

Finally Shane! This small forward with long arms and legs grabbed the basketball from the crowd.

Throw the ball high in the air.

A figure flew up!

It's as if gravity doesn't exist at all for him!

Vince Carter hovers in the air again!

Catch the ball with both hands!

Round the ball!

Hit the basket hard!

"OMG!"

"HOLY SHIT!!!"

"UFO!!!"

The whole of Vancouver is on fire!

Air pick up a big windmill!

This power!

This is empty!

There is no other player in history who can do this dunk!

Just do it right from the start!

It was like thunder on the ground!

"Fuck." Kobe cursed secretly.

Bowen shrank his neck. He was knocked out of position by Carter and lost his position.

First goal!

The demigod lights up the atmosphere in this stadium!

"This battle will be very difficult!"

"The Grizzlies played a great game!"

"Vince Carter scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter! He dunked 3 times!"

"I even almost dunked Yao Ming once! Unfortunately, the dunk missed!"

"Half man and half god! This is the horror of the Canadian flying UFO! He seems to be able to take off directly from anywhere, soaring in the air and completing dunks!"

"Bowen's defensive effect against Carter was not very good."

"Yao Ming doesn't seem to have made much progress when facing Gasol, who is very similar to him in every aspect!"

"Batier guarded Kobe Bryant tightly! He intercepted Xiaoyu's pass to Kobe twice in a row! Kobe glared at Xiaoyu!"

At the end of the single quarter, the Lakers 19:27 the Grizzlies.

The scene was a bit ugly.

This is the Lakers' worst start to a quarter this season.

Under Payton's defense, it was difficult for Xiaoyu to pass the ball to Kobe.

Yao Ming and Gasol are almost matched.

Carter busted Bowen.

Raheem busted Stephen Jackson.

Under Battier's strict defense, Kobe could only rely on difficult jump shots to keep the team alive. Kobe scored 10 of the 19 points in a single quarter.

If you don't look at Kobe's shooting percentage, the other players' shooting percentage combined is only 20%!

"The Lakers dynasty has collapsed. This Lakers is no longer the legendary team that once dominated an era. No matter how good Kobe is! Facing a championship-level team, the Lakers immediately pale in comparison."

"It was the same when playing the Spurs, and it was the same when playing the Grizzlies. Once the Lakers' running and gunning are adapted, they will immediately be controlled by the rhythm of the top teams."

"Except for Bowen and Stephen Jackson, this Lakers have NBA starting-level abilities. Other small fish, Yao Ming and others can't even start on other fringe playoff teams!"

"This is the collapse of the dynasty! The year the Bulls dynasty collapsed, they won the last place in the NBA and won the No. 1 pick. This year's Lakers may not be reduced to grabbing the No. 1 pick because of Kobe's presence. Signed, but we can only linger in the playoffs!"

"Guys, this is all of us's team, not the starting team!" Harris poured chicken soup to the Lakers' bench.

The performance of today's starting players, except for Kobe, was really a bit stretched.

Harris wasn't too flustered.

Kobe sat on the bench with his arms folded.

Although the Lakers' starting lineup is not outstanding among strong teams, their bench lineup still maintains most of the strength of the peak dynasty's bench group.

"Understood." Ginobili nodded.

Although the Grizzlies' starting lineup is strong, their bench is really average.

The only one who is more famous is the aging defender Mahamedlauf.

Ginobili came on the court and first assisted Randolph to hit a mid-range shot.

Then he reached the basket and Eurostep scored a difficult 2+1.

Okur then hit a three-pointer!

Leading the Lakers bench to launch a 10:2 counterattack! Tie the score in one fell swoop!

"The Lakers' bench is probably the last fig leaf for this team!"

"Manu Ginobili! His scoring average this season has reached 18.7 points! His playing time is only 23.2 minutes!"

"If the Argentinian Yaodao can play for 36 minutes, then he is another top defender at the 25+6 level!"

"Randolph and Okur, the two rookies, also performed very well this season!"

"The shooting is very accurate! The Lakers' inside line will never be able to do without shooting!"

"Randolph's turnaround jump shot after a strong back attack was also very lethal! He is too powerful!"

"The game is in the fourth quarter!!!"

"Lakers 91:94 Grizzlies!"

"In the first three quarters of the game, the two teams were fighting inextricably! The Grizzlies had the advantage in the starting lineup, but the rotation lineup had the advantage against the Lakers!"

"Kobe Bryant scored an astonishing 51 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers!"

"Vince Carter has scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists! And he completed 6 powerful dunks in the game!"

"Kobe switched defense and got in front of Carter!"

"Fourth quarter! The Black Mamba is ready to defend Carter himself!"

"Finally here." Vince Carter smiled slightly.

this moment! Carter has waited too long!

In previous years, there were four games between the Lakers and Grizzlies every season, but no matter what the outcome of the game was, Kobe never had to defend Carter. Instead, it was handed over to Bowen.

"You can finally defeat Bruce." Kobe opened his hands, his eyes full of fighting intent.

Now a demigod! It’s finally worth Kobe’s all-out treatment!

In the past few seasons, although Carter was very strong, he seemed to be naturally restrained when facing Bowen's defense and was always unable to exert his strength.

Bowen and Carter are very familiar! They train together every summer at the Mamba Academy!

Bowen's defense can almost limit Carter's offensive mode, which is simpler than other super giants!

It's not that Carter's simple play style is not good, it's that he hasn't transformed yet!

The heavy sword has no edge! This is Carter's basketball style!

And this season, Vince Carter, half man and half god, finally defeated Bowen, his destined opponent.

This time Bowen couldn't do anything to Carter. After all, they were all brothers from the Mamba Academy.

After defeating Bowen, Carter ushered in a transformation!

Carter is now more than one level stronger than in his previous life! ! !

Demi-human and demi-god, completely accomplished!

He is enough to serve as Kobe's opponent.
