The aging Hakeem Olajuwon, and Antonio Davis, who is negotiating with the team between a maximum starting salary of 11 million and an annual salary of tens of millions, are still relying on talent to play. Compared with his personal handsomeness and personal

To be fair, Carter doesn't pay much attention to winning, and the backcourt combination of Alvin Williams and Keon Clark has little room for improvement despite not playing for a few years.

Facing such a lineup, the Eagles' morale is high. Unlike the last time they played against each other, who was afraid of the opponent's record last season, the Eagles are now a completely different team. Without the uneasiness and fear at the beginning of the season, they are now full of energy.

It's all about confidence.

This is the confidence to win!

At the beginning of the game, Olajuwon was really old, and the ball was passed to Jason Terry by Ratliff.

The first ball after the start was a Rahim single.

The Eagles are playing more and more "methodically", and the so-called "methodology" is the order of shots.

The first, of course, was Raheem, who held the ball with his back to Carter and dug in.

Carter is the kind of player who gets better as he gets older on the defensive end. In other words, the defense is really weird now and has no motivation. Rahim made a trademark back-up and then turned and cut into the three-second zone.

Rahim entered the basket with almost no hindrance. Even Olajuwon at his peak would have been hard-pressed to stop him in this situation, let alone the old and shabby Dream. Rahim made a tough layup and won it.

Two points.

Olajuwon desperately wanted to jump up to block the shot, but he was helpless and jumped with all his strength, unable to hook Raheem's wrist.

Really old!

Those superstars who entered the NBA in the mid-1980s are now almost withering away, just like Olajuwon's shot blocking this time.

Turn around and the Raptors attack.

Carter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Raheem came up to defend him.

When Carter saw Rahim's eyes, he felt something was wrong. It seemed different from the last time they played against each other!

If it was the previous Raheem, he would score more than 20 points in every game, grab a dozen rebounds, and pass the ball, and the game would be over, and he would still be able to earn a maximum salary, which is great.

But now Raheem seems to have changed from beginning to end. In the past, his defense was similar to Carter's, depending on his mood.

Generally speaking, someone like Rahim, who is 2.06 meters tall, has speed that is no worse than that of a defender, has explosive jumping, and has a strong body. No matter how he plays defense, he will not be any worse, not to mention that he can be better than a defender of similar height.

Brown James must at least be able to defend at the level of Rudy Gay. But in the past, Raheem was pretty good at blocking shots in the paint. He only guarded the perimeter when he was playing against Iverson and Kobe, but at other times he was good at guarding.

He can only be used as an inside deterrent and cannot take advantage of his size at all.

But things are different now. Rahim takes half a step back to prevent breakthroughs. He can use his wingspan far beyond Carter's to pounce at any time to prevent jump shots. The defense is full of pressure!

Carter and Rahim have not fought each other once or twice. When have you ever seen Rahim like this?

A stronger defense can stimulate the fighting spirit of superstars. Carter didn't think much of Rahim before, but now he finds that the opponent seems to be very interesting!

Carter is hitting the ball faster and faster, getting serious!

Rahim 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 guard against Carter, but suddenly the system bubbled up.

"Ding... Vince Carter's talent skill Demigod is triggered at level 4."

"Level 4 of Demigod: Carter's exclusive talent skill, speed increased to 97, strength increased to 85, dunk success rate doubled, shooting ability enhanced in all aspects."

Carter actually took it seriously! I was so shocked.

At this moment, Carter broke out!

Rahim immediately moved sideways and pushed towards Carter. The strength of the two was actually about the same! You must know that Rahim was eight centimeters taller than Carter!

Moreover, Carter is more explosive! He took a step away from Rahim!

Rahim quickly retreated, and the threat of Carter hitting the basket and dunking was too great! Even though Carter didn't actually dunk a lot, from the Olympics, the slam dunk contest, and all the factors that just dunked were a highlight.

Taken together, people are accustomed to think that Carter is a dunker.

But Carter proved he was 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!

Carter, who withdrew from the three-point line, grabbed the ball with one hand, pulled it up on the spot, and fired a three-pointer!

Rahim reacted very quickly and pounced!

"Ding... King of Dry Pull is triggered at level 5, from Vince Carter." Since Liu Mang has been paying attention to Carter, the system prompted when the skill was triggered!

Originally, due to Rahim's interference, the huge gap in height and wingspan made Rahim's interference very effective. Carter had to make a slight deviation in the angle of the back, which was corrected!

"Shua"

Carter stepped back and hit a three-pointer!

After hitting the three-pointer, Carter glanced at Liu Mang and looked directly at Liu Mang.

It's lit!

Liu Mang felt like he couldn't help but get excited!

Liu Mang probably now knows 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 much of the game and mostly hear it from hearsay will subconsciously think that when yellow people come to the NBA, everyone will despise him and will always underestimate him.

In fact, this is not the case, on the contrary!

If a yellow man can gain a foothold in the NBA, NBA players will pay more attention to it, because they think that Asians play with small balls and cannot play with big balls.

In this case, the opponent will pay attention to this Asian player, because being able to break through all the obstacles to enter the NBA proves that this Asian player is different from other Asian players!

Just like when European players first entered the NBA, they were often targeted and wanted to see how they were different from the European players who played in the World Series.

For example, when Yao Ming entered the NBA, he was constantly targeted during his rookie year. However, when he later played at the level of the league's best second team, his reputation and evaluation in the United States were actually much higher than in China.

Another example is Jeremy Lin. After he played at an amazing level, his opponents did not look down upon him. Instead, they all wanted to confront him and step on him.

Strength is strength! If you perform well, your opponents will take you seriously.

Despising and attaching importance to this kind of thing, in any field, depends on strength. As long as the strength is displayed and a wonderful performance is performed, unless the other party's IQ is so low that it is uncivilized, it is impossible to despise you all the time and let you have the opportunity to perform and step on you.

Liu Mang's overall strength may not be taken seriously by those superstars, but his three-pointers, fouls, and courage to challenge any opponent have made these superstars very curious.

Carter, who loves to make friends, took his curiosity and officially declared war on Liu Mang's three points!
