Madison Square Garden.

Carter is here again, and New York fans are looking forward to Carter's explosive dunk.

"I will definitely see Carter dunking today."

"Ewing has to be more confident, don't be buckled by Carter again."

Even for teams in suburban New York, many fans are willing to regard Carter as a New York player and cheer for Carter at home.

Today the Nets have a neat lineup. Although the Knicks can't play Larry Johnson, they have excellent players on top.

Kittles also performed well, gradually adapting to the rhythm after returning from an injury at the beginning of the season.In the last 15 games, he averaged more than 14 points per game and made 2 three-pointers, which is quite outstanding.

Kittles also showed good defensive toughness and felt better than he did in the All-Star Rookie Game.The Knicks picked a treasure in the draft. In fact, Kittles also has the ability to be among the top ten picks. If Carter hadn't come out of nowhere and taken away most of the light, he would not have fallen to the 18th pick.

John Wallace is also a Knicks draft player, without Kittles' highlights, and still adapting to the rhythm of the NBA.Today they are two rookies, defending Carter, a super rookie.

"Mosquito" Kittles started, facing Vince Carter.

Van Gundy's idea is that as long as Kittles uses his height and wingspan to slightly block Carter.

"We guard against other people, just keep an eye on Carter." Ewing also encouraged Kittles.

Then other players in the team watched Kittles being blown up by Carter.

At the end of the three quarters, Carter has scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.The opposing players were almost crushed, leaving no scum left.Carter not only crushed Kittles, but also ground John Wallace to powder.

"Patrick, I really can't guard Carter." Kittles said bitterly and asked Ewing for help. Ewing is the leader of the team and must shoulder the responsibility.

He waited for Van Gundy to take him off the court.It was too painful. As long as Carter attacked with the ball, he would be blown up and couldn't be defended at all.

Whether it is physical or technical, it is not at the same level.

One is already a star and the other is a rookie.

Carter has been very restrained today, and most of his offensive methods are post-up singles, using the thin Kittles to hone his post-up offensive skills.

"Here we go again..." Kittles stepped forward bravely, facing Carter again.This guy's body is getting stronger and stronger, and every time he takes the initiative to exert force, he doesn't know where his center of gravity is, so it's hard to guard against.

"Very good, that's it, continue to defend and work harder." Carter trained Kittles on the spot and constantly reminded the opponent to pay attention to the key points of defense.

The pressure from his opponents was not enough. Carter polished his post-up skills over and over again today, gaining new insights every time, and the one-on-ones were quite exciting.

Van Gundy looked helpless as he looked at Carter, who had both strength and agility.

The Nets lost two consecutive games, and Carter also held back two games.Gritting their teeth to win today, almost the whole team went crazy.

The scores of the two teams were about the same. The rest of the Nets were defended uncomfortable and did not perform very well, but the defensive end was particularly hard-working, and the offensive end was not afraid of confrontation, just go up the bar.

The efficiency is not too high, and the characteristics are played out.Carter is particularly outstanding, whether in offense or defense, he has shown a dominant performance.

Kittles was taught a lesson by Carter again, and he watched him dunk inside. If he can't stop it, he can't stop it.

John Wallace looked at Kittles off the court, secretly delighted, "Fortunately, everyone's focus is on Carter, and no one noticed that I have fouled 4 times. Kittles has fouled 5 times. "

Oakley didn't take the initiative to foul either. He deliberately hugged Carter down at the beginning of the game. Carter knew the intensity a long time ago and would reserve his strength to deal with emergencies in many cases.

"

Bang, bang!
Carter hit Kittles again, turned around and made a jumper.Kittles doesn't want to jump anymore, he needs to defend harder, and it's easy to hit his hands. He hit double figures today, but fortunately, he was only whistled for 5 fouls.

The Nets lead by 2 points.

The Knicks attacked, using the cooperation of Ewing and Oakley inside, also scored 2 points.Rasheed can't guard Ewing either. Ewing has a beautiful mid-range shot, and Oakley can toss Williams with various tricks.

The inside line is dominated by the Knicks.

The Knicks lacked Larry Johnson on the perimeter, and their defense dropped a notch. Kittles couldn't guard Carter at all, but let Carter polish his post-up singles skills.

Actual combat is more effective than drills. Carter gradually mastered the skills of back-up play in the fast offensive and defensive rhythm.Kittles' defense is not bad, especially the Knicks players have the defensive spirit throughout their souls. Someone has always wanted to come over to catch the ball and let Carter play back with twelve points.

"This guy, did he do it on purpose? He kept playing post-ups, and dunked Ewing and Oakley along the way." Van Gundy had been suspecting that Carter was playing tricks.

It doesn't look like much, Carter seems to be just using the game to polish his skills.The game continues and the fourth quarter begins.

Cassell and Carter collided into the wall and went down synchronously. The alien pulled diagonally downwards and quickly passed the ball in the middle.

He was dunked violently by Carter and fell to the ground.

The sound of bombing resounded throughout the audience, and the New York fans couldn't help cheering and cheering for Carter.

Ewing was secretly sweating, "Fortunately, I didn't make up the defense just now, otherwise it would be another face-to-face dunk."

The referee has already blown the whistle, and Kittles committed a defensive foul. His whole body was almost hanging on Carter, and it would be unreasonable not to call a foul.

"Relief, finally relief." Kittles sighed, quickly raised his hand to indicate a foul, and then hurried off the field.rest!
"John, it's up to you, keep working hard." Kittles completed his task and scored 10 points today. His performance was not bad, but Carter was too dazzling.

Van Gundy explained to John Wallace who was about to appear on the sidelines, "Defend hard, we have someone inside. Carter is not as terrible as you imagine, and you have already defended half of it."

John Wallace left him alone, I believe you asshole, you're full of shit.

Van Gundy's team has never been able to find a way to restrain the fast offense and defense. Several players in the backcourt of the Nets have the ability to hold the ball and make a fast break, which makes the Knicks very uncomfortable.

A team with a traditional center as the core of its tactics focuses on half-court offense and defense, using the inside to take advantage and provide space for the outside.Fast breaks rely heavily on backcourt players. If there are a few fast players, fast breaks are not a big problem.

It's a pity that the Knicks' backcourt players are capable, but they don't have any advantage in advancing quickly.

"The lineup of the Nets seems to be restraining our Knicks." The commentator on the spot was very unhappy. The last game was won by the Nets, and this game will be repeated again. "Our backcourt players lack speed. The advantage of the Nets."

"But we have an advantage inside. Ewing has blown up the inside of the Nets. The combination of Rasheed and Williams is not the opponent of Ewing and Oakley at all."

"But we are still behind. The main players played for too long. By the fourth quarter, the efficiency dropped significantly, but the Nets had a rotation. The rotation has always been something that Van Gundy has not done well. He trusts the starters too much."

Van Gundy, like Adelman, can play as long as a starter.Of course, this is also a common problem of many coaches, who like to play the main force.

The Nets have already led by 5 points, and the gap is still widening.

Calipari has always insisted on fast break tactics, and Robert Parker came on the court and sprinted inside.

"We have caught the Knicks' weakness. After they lack Larry Johnson, it is difficult to organize an efficient defense." Jason said excitedly to Calipari, "The team's backcourt players, today The performance was excellent."

In the first game of his comeback, Kassel scored 22 points and sent 9 assists.Kendall Gill scored 17 points, not to mention Carter, with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, he had already scored 40 points and had a rest.

Calipari didn't want Carter to be too tired. In losing games, Carter's playing time did not exceed 35 minutes. Only in games where the score was particularly tight, Carter would increase his playing time.

"I must try to keep Carter's playing time to about 30 minutes. He is still young and is not suitable for playing in a high-intensity rhythm for too long, otherwise he will be prone to injuries in the future." Calipari has been weighing the pros and cons.

Carter has less playing time and the team may win fewer games, but it will be good for his career. It feels like a pity not to have to meet such a player.

Calipari still decided to follow his heart, "Talented players must also be led by top coaches. I should be responsible for Carter."

Let Carter rest early, and Cassel also sat off the court.Rashid played the main game and pulled directly beyond the three-point line to see who is willing to defend.

Whether it's Ewing or Oakley, defending from the outside is a kind of torture. Rasheed took the opportunity to score a high mid-range shot and a three-pointer.

"Hey! Who said I was blown away." Anyway, it was a performance of 15 points and 8 rebounds. How could it be said that I was blown up by Ewing.

Of course, Ewing scored 24 points and 11 rebounds, obviously better than Rashid.

Calipari shook his fist, "It's not easy to win the game."

In a nearly 3-hour game, both sides worked very hard, and the pace of the game was slow, which was not good to watch.Only Carter's dunk and the Nets' fast break can lift people's spirits.

"Watching the Knicks game is better than watching the Nets. The pace is faster and the game is more exciting." The fans looked depressed and didn't care whether the Knicks won or lost. people."

"I'm going to watch the game in New Jersey some other day. The Nets' home game must be very exciting. I heard that there are twin sisters undressing at the scene!"

"I have already bought the tickets. The Nets will play against the Rockets at home. Hehe, the tickets are not high now." Another New York fan was ready, "From now on, I will be a loyal supporter of Carter."

In the next game, the Nets will host the Rockets, a veteran team.

In order to compete for the championship again this season, the Rockets recruited veteran Barkley, but Barkley was often injured, and the old team did not perform as expected.

Barkley is still recovering, but he took the initiative to shout, "Although I can't play, the team crushed the Nets with ease."

"Hahaha, I bet Carter won't score 30 points. Although he is very strong, he will not have an easy chance to score against the Rockets."

Calipari and Carter looked confused, when did we offend Barkley?The fat guy is looking for a fight.
