Really, four Yangs turn into three irons!

Although fans can see that Kobe's goal still didn't break away from DeRozan's defense, and there was a lot of luck involved in the goal.

However, when you look at Kobe playing now, who is not out of emotion? This wave of four shots and three irons is the ultimate emotion!

However, after Kobe made this shot and for more than five minutes until he was replaced, he failed to score again.

It can be seen that after retiring for six months, it is still difficult for Kobe to return to the level of last season.

Kobe didn't look too good when he came off the court. After sitting down, he pursed his lips on the bench and looked at the court with a solemn face.

When Lu saw it, he immediately went over to sit down and chat with him for a while.

But even after Lu said a lot, Kobe's expression still didn't change much.

In fact, no one asked him to play well in his debut. Most people were already very happy to see him play again.

But this actually has nothing to do with others. The key to the problem lies with Kobe himself.

If a person has always had high demands on himself, then this has actually become a habit for him.

The two sides rotated one after another. On the Nets side, in addition to Kobe, Durant also took a rest.

The lineup on the court at this time: Rose, Bradley, Carter, Lin Ying, Jokic;

Raptors: Lowry, Norman Powell, DeRozan, Ibaka, Valanciunas;

Except for Siakam who was substituted early, the Raptors' rotation was exactly the same as in the regular season.

It can be seen that they want to win tonight, or at least want to gain an advantage during the period when both sides are playing seriously.

One thing that is easily overlooked is that as James traveled westward, they became the second in command in the east.

And it's different from when James was in the Eastern Conference. Their chances of beating the Nets are much smaller than those of the Knicks or Cavaliers.

So even if it's a preseason game, they still need this way to boost their confidence.

At this time, the score on the court was 12 to 6, with the Raptors leading.

The Nets started the game trying to find some form for Kobe, which put them behind in the score.

The ball belonged to the Raptors, and DeRozan took a signature mid-range shot without the ball.

But this time, his attack was not as easy as before.

Because the person guarding him at this time is not Kobe, but Bradley.

Bradley is young and is known for his defense. The defensive pressure he puts on is definitely greater than that of Kobe, who has not yet found his form.

And the key is that just like changing from slow to fast can make people unable to adapt, this sudden increase in defensive intensity also makes DeRozan unable to adapt.

DeRozan is a Toronto player, but after all, there is still a gap between the player and the genuine Kobe.

"when!"

DeRozan's final shot missed, and the long rebound bounced out and was picked off by Lin Ying.

The Nets quickly launched a defensive counterattack.

It was at this time that a person's figure stood out particularly brightly.

Carter was actually the first to hit the fast break!

With that speed, he is older than Kobe!

At this time, the emotions of the fans at the scene suddenly rose.

They didn't get to see Kobe's performance, but they had the opportunity to see Carter's!

When Lin Ying saw it, his eyes quickened and he swung it forward like a quarterback.

As if it was equipped with a positioning device, it went straight to Carter. Carter stretched out his hand and grabbed the basketball directly in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the fans saw Carter running towards the frontcourt. No, it was Uncle Carter!

If you take a close-up of Carter's face now, he will have white beards all over his jaw and temples.

But this is Uncle Carter, his feet are still like the wind, running forward all the way and then flying directly into the air three meters away from the basket.

This immediately lifted the fans' appetites into the air.

Especially those fans who arrived at the arena early. They didn't see it and said that Carter, as a 40-year-old veteran, might need some time to warm up.

But after watching Carter's 360° spin dunk without any warm-up before the game, they have every reason to look forward to what Carter will do next.

It turns out that their expectations soon came true!

After Carter rose into the air, he pulled the ball down to his ankles, then rounded the ball and smashed it directly into the basket.

"Bang!"

An iconic windmill dunk!

The moment the ball was smashed into the basket, the entire General Motors Arena erupted.

Yes, DeRozan's beautiful mid-range shot, Lowry's forced layup, and Ibaka's wonderful block did not make them react like this.

But Carter's dunk directly made them climax!

And this climax came so quickly!

This is Carter, the former King of the North, UFO!

And soon, the fans cheered in unison.

"VC! VC!"

This is what Canadian fans once called Carter.

Lowry and the others were stunned for a moment. This feeling was just like when James was in New York and saw New York fans cheering for Lin Ying's defection.

However, they soon started laughing.

Carter means something completely different to Toronto, and even to Canadian basketball fans.

If you want to choose a basketball god, in North America and among fans around the world, Jordan is a well-deserved candidate, but in Canada, that person would be Carter.

Carter's original claim that he "saved NBA ratings" was not a lie, and in Canada, which is at the center of the "UFO storm", there are naturally many teams that like him.

Especially in such a preseason game where victory or defeat is not the most important thing, the fans' defection is completely understandable.

Understandable, but still shocking!

After all, Carter is already 40, unlike Lin Ying, a popular star who is in his prime.

The peak produces false support, and the dusk witnesses the true believers!

Canadian Basketball God!

Carter felt the enthusiasm of the fans and was inexplicably excited and moved.

After all, this is not the first time he has returned to Canada to play, but it is the first time he has been welcomed by such a team.

As he retreated, he smiled and reached out to applaud the fans, which was considered a response to the fans.

The cheers of the fans at the scene became even louder.

This is interactive!

DeRozan held the ball in singles and distributed the ball to Miles who used the cover to run outside.

Although DeRozan has not been able to break out of the Eastern Conference in the past few seasons, his personal skills have been constantly evolving.

Up to now, except for three-pointers, his other skills are basically all-star level.

This naturally includes organizational capabilities.

The ball was well-scored, but Myers' shot was slightly off, and the basketball finally hit the frame.

The rebound was protected by Jokic.

This time Carter was held back by DeRozan, and the Nets' fast break failed to start.

Both sides moved to the frontcourt position.

At this time, the Nets began to truly enter their normal offensive mode.

Once the ball was in Lin Ying's hands, he immediately started to play the No. 1 tactic.

It started off poorly, with no outstanding performance except Carter's wonderful dunk. At this time, it came to the situation Lu mentioned before.

Even if it’s a pre-season game, we still have to play hard.

It's Ibaka who's guarding Lin Ying.

Ibaka, who is not injured, has no doubt about his defensive ability, but he is a standard inside man, but Lin Ying is a swingman at forward and guard. There is a big gap between the two in speed and agility.

Lin Ying held the ball with one hand and then changed direction and broke through, directly passing him.

He broke into the paint and quickly attracted the Raptors' defense.

However, the Raptors' help defense was still slow to come.

Lin Ying and Durant have been training all summer for this season. Although the things that can be improved are not that big, they have made further progress and become more difficult for opponents to defend.
