Chapter 35 Who killed the game
Key free throws, regardless of whether they are scored or not, the initiative is still in the hands of the Nets.

Calipari has experienced key goals many times this season, and his tactics for handling key goals have become more and more abundant. He feels that as long as Carter is in the team, he can create unlimited possibilities.

"The team should be leading by 3 points, and we must defend outside the three-point line soon." Calipari greeted assistant coach Jason, and quickly said, "Prepare the tactical board, the Pistons have called a timeout. Vince made a free throw After that, seize the moment.”

Carter quietly changed the rhythm of free throws. Everyone knew that he would habitually shoot the ball 4 times. Unexpectedly, he only took 2 shots this time, and then suddenly received the ball and shot it.

bang.

The ball flew out, but it was not in the rhythm point, it was a little lower.

It just hit the lower edge of the basket and bounced back. Before everyone could react, Carter had already stepped forward and grabbed the rebound.

At the same time, with the help of terrible body control, he took off directly without bending his knees, leaped high, and flew above Telalif's head.

Telalif scrambled for a rebound, and felt that Carter had already flown over. A hurricane blew by, and he almost fell down.

It was Vince Carter, flying over Tralliff, facing the hoop, as wide as the sea.

Carter straightened his arm, exerted force, and smashed the ball into the basket.

boom!
Deafening dunks, clean riding dunks.

Pistons center Theo Tralliff.

Just now, Telalif's fierce foul made Carter extremely uncomfortable, and now he will immediately get back to the field.If you say ride a buckle, you ride a buckle, without a trace of doubt.

After Carter landed, there were 4.5 seconds left in the time, which was the time left for the Pistons.

In other words, there were 7 seconds left, and Carter completed free throws and rebounds in 2.5 seconds, while dunking Trarif.

The speed of lightning and flint is so fast that it is too fast to hide one's ears and steal one's bell.

"Theo, you are like a piece of wood, you can react even faster." Carter retorted.How dare you shoot him down just now, and take revenge immediately.

A hero's revenge does not take overnight.

Everyone was stunned, why did Carter suddenly score again.

"What just happened?" The Pistons fans had not yet reacted.

Doug Collins immediately rushed to the referee's table and complained to the court officials, "The opponent's No. 15 player, Vince Carter, deliberately missed the free throw. This is a technical foul."

The match officials ignored it.

Deliberate misses are suspected, but cannot be judged.

Moreover, Carter's movements were so smooth, the basketball hit the basket accurately, and the rebound happened to be where he took a step forward.

If it weren't for super basketball control, it wouldn't be possible.

Besides, what if he missed the penalty on purpose?Fans love to watch drama like this.A super player uses the rules to turn a 1-point ball into a 2-point ball when the team needs it most, which is quite exciting.

Pistons fans feel a little trembling when they think about it, and Carter seems particularly scary.The free throws can be controlled so accurately, maybe it was just an accident just now.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Theo Tralliff didn't want to believe it.Even smashing Carter to the ground, and still maintaining such a strong control, this person's body is a bit abnormal.

Grant Hill was also stunned, wondering if Michael Jordan was leading the Bulls to compete with him. This feeling was very bad, "Is he really Vince Carter?"

A thunderous strike at the critical moment completely destroyed the opponent's confidence.

Players like this are superstars.Carter is only in his rookie season and the road ahead has just begun. He doesn’t know how far he will grow.

"Damn, what a strong body control ability." Joe Dumas's spirit went cold. After being defeated by Jordan, the fear of being dominated by Jordan struck again.

This time it wasn't Jordan, it was Vince Carter.

"Another player similar to Jordan, who grew up too fast." David Stern was watching TV with a smile. Vince Carter, the MVP of the rookie game and the player who was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season, did not disappoint him.

Selected as an All-Star, although Carter's performance was not very eye-catching, his multiple dunks did ignite the passion of the fans.Won the MVP in the rookie game, and his performance crushed the rookies of the same year.

There is no suspense about who will win this month's Rookie of the Month.Iverson's personal statistics are very good, but the combat effectiveness shown by the team is not at the same level as the Nets.

"The referee controlled it very accurately, the game was fierce, and there was not much controversy. The star's personal abilities were fully demonstrated, and I was the one who wanted the rhythm of the game." David Stern rarely picked up the red wine and poured himself a glass .

It’s the end of the 20th century, and the light of a new era has shined through.

The rays hit the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Pistons called a timeout, and with 4.5 seconds left, the team trailed by 4 points. They had to attack quickly, score a three-pointer, and then foul tactics, hoping that the opponent would not score.

Calipari didn't expect such a result. He was so excited that he quickly perfected his defensive tactics. In any case, he couldn't let his opponent shoot from outside the three-point line.

The tactical quality of the Pistons players is good, and if the inside line is not strong enough, they will be very competitive.A few beautiful pick-and-roll runs, and there was space in the paint.

It only took 2 seconds for Hill to make an inside shot.

There are 2.5 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Pistons' choice is to shoot 2-pointers first and then use foul tactics.It is also a method with a relatively high success rate.All Pistons fans stood up and cheered wildly for the team.

"Defense...defense..."

"Hill, defeat Carter, come on!"

"Defend Carter, beat the Nets."

With a 2-point difference, Calipari quickly deployed tactics and let the defenders hold the ball. Insider Williams was not sure about the free throw and kicked off directly from the sidelines.

He held the ball high above his head, and on the court were Carter, Cassell, Kendall Gill and Rasheed, all with shooting skills.

Rashid and Telalif are entangled, and their arms are entangled, as if conjoined twins cannot be separated.

Carter thought Hill would defend him, but he didn't expect Hill to defend Kendall Gill. He glanced slightly, and it was veteran Joe Dumars who defended him.Dumars put his hand on Carter's waist, and then gently pulled his shorts.

This kind of action is quite common, it is not a problem at all, and the referee will not call a foul.

Carter ran a little at first, without exerting any strength.Jumping up at the right time, Williams hurriedly passed the ball.Throwing it into the air and giving it to Carter, Carter didn't catch the ball at all, and used a volleyball action.

Kick the ball into Cassell's hands.Cassel shook off Lynch Hunter and ran wild after catching the ball.Use up the last time.

When Lynch Hunter fouled, there were only 0.2 seconds left.Send Cassel to the free throw line.

Doug Collins sat back on his stool, "It's over. We lost the game in double overtime."

Cassell made more than 80% of his free throws. As long as he hits all of them, he doesn't have to struggle anymore and just admit defeat.Even if they can't hit all of them, one hit is enough. It is impossible for the Pistons to attack in 0.2 seconds. If they touch the basketball slightly, the time will run out.

If there are 0.1 seconds left in the game, the lore ball can only touch the ball once, and tap it under the basket, otherwise the time will be exceeded.

A 0.1 second kill is the theoretical shortest time.

Cassel has a very good mentality and made the first free throw.

Declared to kill the match.

Carter was also relieved that the game was finally won.

Calipari clenched his fist on the sidelines and waved it a few times, "Oye, win the game."

Williams and Rasheed clapped Cassell, encouraging him to do it again.

Sure enough, the second free throw was hit.

At the end of the game, the Pistons lost 4 points at home.

"Sam, you killed the game." Carter hugged today's hero "Alien", and then asked, "How many games are we going to play against the Pistons this season?"

"Only three games to play and we've won two of them."

The records of both sides are almost the same. Victory in one game is related to the playoff ranking. If they can defeat the Pistons, the Nets still hope to reach the top four. I will have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The Bulls are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference and cannot be shaken.Then there are the Heat, Knicks, Hawks, Pistons and Nets, followed by the Hornets and Magic, with the Bullets close behind and also playoff contenders.

After today's game, the Nets will surpass the Pistons by half a game and the ranking will rise to fifth place.But it's not stable. If you can't win more than 50 games, you won't be able to rank in the top half.

The teams in the East are still very strong.The Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers seem like frail men, and they have lost a thousand miles, but in order to snatch this year's No. [-] pick, they feel very fulfilled when they lose.

As long as Duncan joins, the team will immediately rise.

Calipari walked into the locker room, "Vince, do you want to come to the press conference with me?"

"The biggest contributor to today's victory is Cassel. He should be allowed to participate in the press conference. Adjust the order, no problem."

In fact, the key to the victory was Carter's go-ahead ball, the wonderful free throw grabbing the rebound and dunking, not Kassel's free throw.

卡特今天得到44分11板8助攻，还有2次抢断3次盖帽，无比全面。

It stands to reason that if Carter participates in the press conference, he will get more attention.But Carter is willing to give the opportunity to his teammates.

"Sam, you are also the hero of the team." Carter said loudly in the locker room. "Everyone is the hero of the team today. Without everyone working together, the team cannot win this difficult victory."

Cassell was very moved, this is the boss of the team.Whether it was Kendall, Rashid, or even Williams, they were all moved by Carter's "magnanimity".The boss of the team is not greedy for meritorious deeds, and the atmosphere of the team will get better and better.

Cassell finished rinsing immediately and followed Calipari to the press conference.He crazily boasted about Carter's ability, "Carter said I killed the game, but that's not the case. Vince Carter killed the game. He is so special."

When Calipari talked about Carter, he also smiled, "The core of the team is Carter, and he led the team to victory."

After Williams finished rinsing, he came over to find Carter timidly.

"Vince, I have to apologize to you. The recent state is too bad, and it has delayed the team's victory."

"Man, everyone's status will be ups and downs. It's not your fault. But you have to adjust as soon as possible. The team needs your defense, rebounding, and toughness at the basket." Carter patted the big man.

This guy seems to be confused recently. I wonder if he drank too much.Carter can understand that Williams is already a veteran and can adjust on his own.

If you can't adjust, just scold him, and then get up for special training.

"I will work harder." Williams told Carter.

He likes the current state of the team very much. It has been winning and everyone is sprinting for the playoffs. If they reach the playoffs, it will be the Nets' best performance in recent years.He was a New York native and wanted to be a part of it.

The team's sense of belonging and honor are subtly changing the players' status.

"Believe me, if you work hard these two years, you will win a big contract." Carter's voice was not loud, but full of power, unquestionable power.After next year, players' salary levels will increase and become more reasonable.

Jason Williams' current contract expires in 98, and there is still more than a year left, just in time for the bonus. If he can produce good data, he can even get a big contract of tens of millions.

Rasheed opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, when Carter yelled, "Go out tonight, boss, I'll make arrangements."

There is no game tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will face the Celtics, which will be another victory.At the end of February, the Nets' record will remain strong.

"God, I'm going to enjoy life again." Rashid's heartbeat is racing. In New Jersey, he can go to New York at any time, and the quality of life is more exciting than in Portland.

In the next two games, the Nets indeed won again.

The Celtics and Kings came to challenge but failed to defeat the Nets.

In these two games, although Carter's points have decreased, his rebounds and assists have reached double figures respectively, and he has scored double-doubles in three consecutive games.

In addition to scoring, it is either rebounds or assists, very beautiful data.

With this Wednesday's winning streak, Carter once again won the league's Player of the Week.

It is the second time this season to get the player of the week, which is very rare among rookies. The best rookie of the month in February was still won by Carter.

No other rookie can pose a threat to Carter, and neither can Iverson.Although Iverson has strong scoring ability, his team record is poor and he failed to win recognition.

From November to February, Carter won the Rookie of the Month for 11 consecutive months, basically locking the Rookie of the Year.

At the same time that Carter was making waves, fellow rookies were already falling into involution.

Kobe kept pulling Fisher to train, "Xiaoyu, I plan to hit the starting lineup and sit firmly in the starting lineup. As long as I go up, I will never come down again. Do you dare to bet?"

"Don't bet, I believe you." Fisher pushed the equipment with difficulty, it was really heavy.

Ray Allen is still practicing three-point shooting. The team also has "big dog" Glenn Robinson and center Vin Baker, both All-Star players. He has received very little attention and has more time to polish. technology.

Although Iverson did not train, he will also take stock of his breakthroughs and mid-range shots. He needs better data. "I made sacrifices for the team. The team needs stronger teammates. Next season, we will be better .”

Walker had just lost another game and felt normal. "Maybe next season, we will welcome Tim Duncan, and then we will be the league's new star team. Just like the Nets."

Tim Duncan picked his ears and sneezed again, feeling like a lot of people were thinking about him, but he just wanted to call Vince Carter.

"Hey, Fei, I'm Tim!"

"fool……"
