Basketball UFO

Chapter 30 Officially Joining
At the University of Florida, a junior student saw Carter's coquettish passing and thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that the elbow can also pass the ball. It seems that the butt can also pass the ball."

He fiddled with the basketball in his hand like he was playing with a Rubik's Cube. "My thinking is still too limited. Although I can't play in the game, I can still practice passing!"

Because of the continuous transfer of schools, the young man was a redshirt player for the first two years. He was unable to play and felt uncomfortable. He had to focus on training.

Jason Williams of the Nets, who was bored to participate in a friend's party, also planned to play something new like Jason Jr., "Dude, can this thing really fly?"

"Fly higher than Carter, trust me."

"Please, I'm an adult, I'm not afraid of you." Jason Williams is contented. The team has a good record recently, and his rebounding skills have improved a lot. Played a double-double performance, and more rebounds than points.

Even after hearing media reports that a new player, Rasheed Wallace, who is still a strong inside player, has arrived, he is still not worried that his status will be affected.

"Sean Bradley has been kicked out. I will not be traded. I will definitely stay in the team. When the time comes, I will get a big contract, hahaha..." Jason Williams was very proud.

Looking at the TV, the game is still going on.

At the last moment, the two sides were tied at 95.

Iverson wanted to get the ball, but Camby still gave it to Carter.

Carter stood outside the three-point line, grabbed the ball with one hand, and faced Kobe's defense.Iverson ran wildly, threw away Marbury, "Give me the damn ball."

Carter really passed the ball in the direction of Iverson, and even Kobe's eyes were attracted. Unexpectedly, Carter just grabbed the ball with one hand and shook it.

At this time, he jumped up and took a three-pointer calmly.He has yet to shoot a three-pointer today, and almost all of his points were dunks and of course a few free throws.

First three-point shot.

Steady and powerful, precise yet poised, silky shots.

Entering the net easily, the sound of "shua" resounded throughout the audience.

Immediately afterwards, all the fans cheered, and this was the final decision at the critical moment.

"Vince...Vince..."

"Ah... Carter, I love you!"

Kobe glared angrily. He had even used fake moves to deceive him just now. This guy was not a good person.Carter calmly returned to defense, leaving the Eastern Conference with 15 seconds.

Reed Holzman called a timeout and arranged the tactics for the final attack.

Auerbach didn't rush, and didn't even stand up from his chair, "At the last moment, defend the three-point line, you guys play."

The names were called one by one, namely Carter, Camby, Walker, Ray Allen and Kittles. "As long as you guard the inside, if you shoot a two-pointer, just let them shoot it."

The last-minute rookie representatives of the Western Conference are Kobe, Marbury, Fisher, Raheem and Steve Nash, players who can shoot three-pointers.

Only by tying the score can there be any hope of victory.

"This game was very exciting. Carter hit a three-pointer at the critical moment. This was his first three-pointer of the game. It was very stable. Now the Eastern Conference leads by 3 points, and the pressure is on the rookies in the Western Conference."

"Kobe Bryant should make the last shot." Zhang Weiping instinctively felt that Kobe was unusual, and expressed his premonition.

In this game, Kobe has scored 31 points, the highest score among all players, which is very eye-catching.It's a pity that all fans only remember Carter's extraordinary dunks and wonderful passes, but did not notice Kobe's scoring frenzy.

After the timeout, the Eastern players took their positions.

The ball was sent out, Marbury held the ball, and Ray Allen immediately followed up. The two had similar picks and made a deal at the draft.

After dribbling for 6 seconds, at the last moment, Marbury broke through with the ball.Ray Allen didn't foul, just followed Marbury's rhythm.

Sure enough, pass the ball to the perimeter.Kobe is ready.But the route of Marbury's pass is very concealed, avoiding Kobe, and it turned out to be Steve Nash's position.

The final moment was when Steve Nash executed a three-point shot.

Carter let go of Kobe, stretched out his arm, slightly blocked the basketball, and intercepted it.Grabbed by Fisher.Fisher did not hesitate, and immediately gave it to Kobe.

Kobe was already involved in the three-point line. When he saw the ball, he immediately stepped back and shot.

Kittles, who switched defenses with Carter, was already in place and immediately flew to block the shot.Kobe played very firmly and shot directly.

Swish!Also hits, big heart.

Kobe watched the ball fly out, and kept his shooting posture, not willing to defend it.He clenched his fists only when he saw the basketball hit the net.

Steady!

Why no cheers?
Then he looked at his teammates and found that the Eastern team had called a timeout and they still had 2 seconds to attack.

He looked at the scoreboard again.Not a 98:98 split.

It was 98:97, there was no three-pointer, and the goal just missed the line.

The big foot stepped on the three-point line to shoot, the step back was not big enough, and he failed to flash beyond the three-point line.

Kobe was so frustrated, he thought it was a perfect tie, but he didn't expect it was just a two-pointer, and he missed the opportunity to turn the tide and become a hero.

After the timeout, the Western team defended frantically and did not give the Eastern team a chance to easily kick off.Camby stood on the sidelines and threw the ball directly into the air.Carter jumped high, grabbed the basketball, and bounced out of the opponent's circle the moment it fell.

When the western players fouled, the time just ran out.

Carter held on for the final victory.The fans in the audience saw an extremely fierce competition between the Eastern and Western rookies. They cheered continuously and almost went crazy.

Rookies can play so excitingly. If it's our turn to play in the All-Star Game, I don't know how exciting it will be. I'm looking forward to it more and more!
"At the end of the game, the Eastern Rookie Team defeated the Western Rookie Team by 98:97 by 1 point." Sun Zhengping's voice spread across the country, "It was Vince Carter's three-pointer at the last moment of the game that defeated the opponent. "

"Carter's dunking and key ball abilities impressed everyone." Zhang Weiping was very excited, "This was a very exciting game."

"Oh, and the Rookie Challenge MVP trophy will also be presented. Or Vince Carter, who scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, won the MVP of this game."

"The MVP among rookies is a rare award." Sun Weiping added.

Carter smiled and held up the trophy. He didn't value the insignificant honor, but a little bit of accumulation would make his influence bigger and bigger.

Just like this season so far, he has won the title of Rookie of the Year and Rookie of the Year every month, and he will basically not escape.He also won the league's Player of the Week once, which means he is a bit smart, and his status as the core of the team has been recognized.

With a stinky face, Iverson met Kobe face to face, and they both saw disdain in each other's eyes, and they were quite similar in mentality.

Ray Allen watched Carter pick up the rookie game MVP trophy, feeling a little uncomfortable, but Kobe couldn't get it anyway, and he adjusted his mood again and sent his blessings.

"Vince Carter is really good." Camby was helpless. He is an inside player, and it is difficult to get a beautiful display in an exhibition game.If it weren't for the few alley-oops Carter passed to him, he would have no sense of existence at all.

Marbury pursed his lips, "I will beat you in the future, for sure."

Kobe left holding hands tightly, the dunk contest was his stage.

"I swear, I will definitely win the slam dunk contest!" Kobe said harshly.If he can win the championship smoothly, Kobe will become the youngest dunk contest champion in history.

The various NBA records are very interesting. As long as there are enough qualifiers in front of them, everyone can become a record creator.

For example, the player who scored the most points in the summer vacation, for example, the player who scored the most points in a single quarter in the Thanksgiving game...

Carter had no activities the next day, so he had to make an appointment with a few girls to play landlords together. It was an uninteresting activity, just manual labor.

On the third day, the All-Star game is on.Carter didn't perform too much either. As a rookie, the coach wouldn't give him too much time.

Carter's performance was quite satisfactory, and every time he scored, he performed a powerful dunk, which aroused the passion of the fans.

"Carter's dunk seemed even more exciting than yesterday's dunk contest!"

"As expected of Vince Carter, every time he dunked, he exploded and was extremely explosive. In yesterday's slam dunk contest, I forgot who won the championship."

"It's a pity that Carter doesn't participate in the dunk contest, otherwise he would definitely be the champion. He is a perfect dunk genius. His strength, angle and stretch are unparalleled."

What the fans are talking about is still Carter's dunk.

Even though there are Jordan's perfect mid-range shots and the unique skills of various masters on the field, only Carter's dunk makes people excited.

As for the outcome of the game, no one paid much attention. It seemed that the East defeated the West, and then a player named Glenn Rice won the All-Star Game MVP.

After the game, Jordan walked up to Carter and said, "Hey, Vince, good game."

Carter gave him a blank look, "Someday, explain the offensive steps."

Jordan shrugged and pretended to be aggressive, but he didn't count as a success. His goal is still the championship.

Iverson walked past Jordan with his head held high. He didn't want to dump Jordan, he even wanted to surpass Jordan, in his own way, to surpass Jordan.

"What's this rookie's name?" Jordan looked at Pippen next to him, "I said the one from the 76ers."

"Allen Iverson." Although Pippen and Jordan are on the same team, their relationship is more limited to the field, and there is not much communication in private.

Even after Jordan won the championship in 1991, he reminded Pippen not to sign a long-term contract, and the salary level would rise in the future. Pippen just didn’t believe it, signed a 7-year long-term contract of 1800 million US dollars, and then watched his teammates get high salaries. He was still a child laborer. contract.

In contrast, Barkley, who is Jordan's opponent, listened to the suggestion, reduced Nike's endorsement fee, exchanged it for stocks, and then earned 10 times the endorsement fee.

"This rookie class is very interesting." Jordan wanted to continue to show off, but Pippen had already walked away and did not communicate with the boss at all.

In New York, Jason Williams was shaking, ready to go back to the hotel to rest, "I have to rest for a night, the boss will come back tomorrow, and he will pull me into special training again."

"Come on, basketball is not as fun as nightclubs." The brother next to him greeted with enthusiasm.If Williams is gone, who will pay?

"Jason, I think, if your boss is abolished, wouldn't nobody care about you? Who would dare to drag you to special training?"

"Push your feet?" Jason Williams stretched his feet forward, stretched them out, and took them back several times, "Hey, it seems interesting. Try it another day."

But Jason Williams still didn't have the guts to let him step on Carter.Internally, when Carter was doing strength training, the equipment was almost broken.

If he stepped on him and hurt the boss, he would definitely be beaten to death.If he is not killed, he will be kicked out by the team.

"Don't go... Let's play some more with bullets. Learn about it and defend yourself later."

"Go, I will. I plan to practice the use of shotguns, which is more exciting." Jason Williams nodded, "Don't stop me, the new team will come tomorrow, I will practice with him first."

"Where is the newcomer? Let's have fun together then."

"Rashid Wallace, you guys are going to be beaten to death." Jason Williams had also heard of Rasheed's reputation and was a little scared.

That bloody mouth opened as if it was about to eat people, not a joke.

Roaring Tianzun has completed the physical examination and officially joined the team.The team also held a press conference to announce that Rasheed became a member of the Nets.

"Rashid will strengthen the team's inside line. He is a very good player." John Nash introduced, "The physical examination went well, and Rashid has officially joined."

"We also wish Sean Bradley and the others, and wish them all the best in the future." The marginal players were not even named.

However, Daniels is still on the team, with an annual salary of only a few hundred thousand. Although his performance has improved, his trade value is not great and no one wants him.

Charles Oakley saw the Nets strengthening the inside and called Ewing, "Maybe the Nets will become our enemy in challenging the Bulls."

"I'll get rid of Rashid, don't worry." Ewing seemed to be drinking, and there were cheers and laughter beside him, "I'll tell you later, I return to the Gold Club, and the service here is not bad. Hey, I'm a star, and the boss here Give me a discount."

Oakley had no choice but to pick up the phone and call Big Ben, "Ben, did you see the news?"

"Vince told me that he recommended you and me to the team, but unfortunately the team did not operate successfully." Daben regretted deeply, "I only have a one-year contract, and I will take the initiative to approach the Nets in the summer."

"It made my heart move, hahaha" Oakley laughed. He still has more than one year left in his contract, and he is not in a hurry to leave New York, a comfortable place. "No matter what, polish your defense well, and you will succeed."

"Definitely. Maloney is also undrafted. He can participate in the Rookie Challenge. I will start in the future!" Ben continued to train, and he has decided to contribute on the defensive end.

Rashid finished attending the press conference and said, "Where is Vince? I want to challenge him in a duel, defeat him, and become the boss of the team."

The fourth pick in 1995 is more eye-catching than the seventh pick, right?
"Ahem... Vince is the boss of the team." Calipari couldn't help worrying, "You came here to assist him."

"If he can't defeat me, I believe he will give me the boss position." Rasheed opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to swallow Calipali, "I am also competing for the boss position in the Trail Blazers. It’s a pity that before I succeeded, I got to the Nets.”

"If you want to fight one-on-one, I'll let you do it!"

Behind Rasheed, Carter's voice came.

That man, back from Cleveland.
