79. The trapeze is a wonderful thing! (2nd month)(1/2)
Players from both teams take the field.
Raptors, rookie Bosh played half a quarter and was replaced.
Their coach Kevin O'Neal consciously did not let Bosh and Liu Xiu play at the same time.
In his opinion, apart from his appearance, there was nothing about the rookie in the lottery who was at the bottom of the lottery who looked like a good person.
For example, now, Liu Xiu and Carter have a fight, and Kevin O'Neal speculates that this rookie really wanted to have a fight at the beginning!
The Raptors sent out a combination of Rod Strickland, Carter, Maurice Peterson, Jerome Williams, and Antonio Davis.
The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Dale Davis.
When the two old Davis brothers met, Antonio Davis' expression and demeanor changed, and he wanted to kill the other Davis.
It's just so loving.
After the timeout, the Raptors attack.
Carter leaned on Travis Outlaw on the left side of the free throw line to get the ball!
Rod Strickland was shocked! Is this kid getting active?
unimaginable,
A player who was the darling of the fans last year and was looked after by the management as his ancestor has suffered undue pain and fallen into the position of being sold by the team.
When he went through all this, he was in his mid-twenties, the age when he should have passed his youth and entered the golden stage of his career.
How depressed and broken must the mood be.
After the depression and collapse, Carter chose to accept his fate.
This is so heartbreaking for Rod Strickland, who is 37 years old and has played in the NBA for more than ten years!
He entered the NBA in 1988, and it was in the 1997-1998 season that he won the real big honor for the first time in his career, the second team, and the assists leader. At that time, he was already 32 years old.
When he was still playing for the Wizards, a mortal wearing jersey No. 23 once said to him: "You are a veteran, you have to be a role model for young people."
It is worth mentioning that he has a godson named Kyrie Irving.
Rod Strickland tried to use his own experience to inspire Carter, but failed.
Since the start of the game, Carter has been lifeless, averaging 18 points per game and shooting 39% from the field. Regardless of his reduced athletic ability due to injury, Carter's injury has long since healed. It was purely a blow to the Raptors' sale of him.
Unexpectedly, this time I was actually stimulated and motivated by the rookie opposite!
Carter and Travis Outlaw had a hand-to-hand fight. Although Travis Outlaw was taller and worked harder, Carter, who had entered the prime age of his career, was stronger than Travis, who had just graduated from high school.
-Outlaw is better.
Rod Strickland seized the opportunity to hit the ground and pass the ball, shouting: "Go! Vince, kill the rookie on the other side!"
"?" The lawless maniac wants to curse!
Encouragement in the past was useless. Carter was in a good mood today, and Rod Strickland's encouragement was very useful!
challenge!
Duel!
Carter's favorite thing!
Carter swatted the ball and took a step forward.
Travis Outlaw was knocked back a little. Seeing Carter approaching again, Travis Outlaw quickly lowered his center of gravity... As soon as he lowered his center of gravity, he reacted immediately because of his good defensive talent.
I was fooled, but it was too late.
Carter's powerful waist and abdominal strength controlled his backward body to turn right, break through from the left, and drive straight to the basket!
Travis Outlaw actually did not form an effective defense, and Dale Davis had no chance to make up defense.
Stepping on the left sideline of the three-second zone, Carter leapt high and smashed the ball into the basket with a powerful chop!
The fans at the scene said "Oh" in unison.
Doesn't it mean that Carter can no longer dunk like before because of his foot injury?
Does this look like your athletic ability is impaired?
Liu Xiu was also shocked. Watching Carter dunk live was completely different from watching it on TV...
At this time, the system prompt came!
"Vince Carter, the player detection report has been updated."
"Vince Carter, 26 years old, 198 cm, 98 kg, SF/SG, ability evaluation 91, offense 93, defense 83... speed 90, strength 87, jumping 98... 92 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, layup
96…”
'I just said...'
When Liu Xiu read the opponent's player detection report before the game, Carter only had an ability evaluation of 83, a shooting percentage of less than 40%, and an average of less than 20 points per game... Now is he 'surviving' the challenge?
Thinking of Carter's talent for transforming his characteristics...
How much does this guy like ‘challenge’?
Dale Davis failed to run back to the basket and did not become the background for actively getting in. Then the background was an outlaw who was hit from behind and turned around.
Travis Outlaw silently picked up the ball and served. When Liu Xiu received the serve, he felt the opponent's resentment.
"Madman, this is the training given to you by God. We are all rookies and need more training to grow."
"What kind of training does God give me? It's you who brought this trouble to me!" The lawless man couldn't help shouting.
After accepting the healing value, Liu Xiu pushed forward with satisfaction.
Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to the little flying squirrel, then ran low to the left side of the three-second zone.
Cheers and cheers erupted from the scene!
For a while, Liu Xiu's challenge to Carter was heard by the fans behind the bench and near the technical stage. It was passed from one to ten, regardless of the specific content of the transmission, but such a thing,
Most people at the scene knew it.
It's hard to say for fans of other teams, but Trail Blazers fans know Liu Xiu quite well.
Back hitting is Liu Xiu’s strength!
Although most of the fans at the scene support cleaning up the team, they want to win... The game has been going on so far, they have the advantage, and now there is a duel... they all want to win!
The little flying squirrel lobbed the ball to Liu Xiu who was stuck with Rod Strickland with an envious mood.
Liu Xiu received the ball, and Rod Strickland behind him said: "Hey, rookie, don't be nervous!"
"I'm not nervous, you should be."
"?...Fake..."
Rod Strickland was originally confused about the meaning of Liu Xiu's answer, but after Liu Xiu started hitting him from behind, he was no longer confused and just wanted to curse!
Liu Xiu knocked Rod Strickland away, turned around and squeezed in, and hit Rod Strickland for a layup!
He didn't even shoot with a wiper, he just pushed the ball up against someone else!
This is the original version of Randolph turning around and forcing a layup!
nervous?
Liu Xiuzhen was not nervous. In fact, whether the challenge was successful or not was not important at all.
The duel has begun, and 1000 healing points have been obtained!
In addition to this, he also received more than 200 healing points from teammates, opponents, coaches... and others.
Just try to win the game.
Not to mention, his back-up hit surprised the Raptors players!
A rookie can actually be so skilled in post-up play!
Yes, apart from seeing the news about Liu Xiu's fight, they had almost no understanding of Liu Xiu, and they had no intention of taking the initiative to understand him.
They are the Raptors, not the Lakers or Kings. They are too busy with their own affairs to worry about the rookies of other teams.
Conflicts within the team, brushing up on statistics, trying to get a contract, feeling sorry for yourself or being complacent...that's all they have to do with basketball every day.
They thought that Liu Xiu's back attack was okay, but they didn't expect it to be so good.
A strong body is one thing, but Liu Xiu's control of the ball in confrontational back-up shots and the smoothness of his technical movements are what surprised them.
For example, Antonio Davis, who just watched Randolph beat Bosh, felt that Liu Xiu would not lose to Randolph in post-up play.
The worst offender was Rod Strickland. He thought Liu Xiu was a rookie who wanted to challenge famous stars after learning some advanced skills.
From this point of view, this showdown is probably not Carter’s rookie education series!
Rod Strickland felt that he had to take care of himself first and not be too embarrassed...
When the Raptors were on offense, Carter continued to hit the ball from the high post, turned around and broke through... This time, Dale Davis moved early to block it, and the dunk turned into a layup, but it didn't go in yet.
Carter's dunks are beautiful, and he is also very domineering in actual dunks, but the number of dunks is actually quite small. Since the statistics of dunks were recorded in the 1999-2000 season, Carter's dunks in the past four seasons have been 49, 44, and 59 times respectively.
To be continued...
