Basketball UFO

Chapter 46
"Food, I lost the NCAA Final Eight, and now I'm preparing for the draft." Tim Duncan failed to win the NCAA championship again, even though he was selected to the All-American team for the second time.

At this moment, Duncan has calmed down and is ready to devote himself to draft preparations.

"Hey, the suspense now is which team with the worst record will you fall to? It's not that you are preparing for the draft, but that the team is preparing to select you." Carter joked that this guy could become the number one pick in any year.

Tim Duncan, the only No. 1997 pick in the [-] draft, is about to officially declare for this year's draft.

Only Carter knows that after Tim Duncan arrived at the Spurs, he didn't make any progress at all. From his debut to his retirement, the statistics were almost the same.

Popovich used one player as the core, and it took him 19 years to win 5 championships and become a top coach in the NBA.

The Spurs team is also interesting. There are a total of three No. 3 picks in team history, and three center players were selected.

"Admiral" David Robinson, still in use, was reimbursed after playing 6 games this season. "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan, No.1 in team history.

Then there is Wenbanyama, I don't know how fine it is.At least Popovich is willing to bind him with a five-year contract.

Duncan was quiet for a while, "By the way, Wake Forest University wants to retire your and my jerseys. Do we have time to watch the ceremony together?"

Duncan has graduated from college and has become an athlete who set Wake Forest University basketball records. He is worthy of having his jersey retired. Duncan's No. 21 will remain in the university for future generations to admire.

Carter only spent one year at Wakeview University, but he became the winner of the first NCAA championship in team history and the first MOP in the Final Four. It is normal for the team to retire his No. 15 jersey.

Carter thought about it. He didn't retire last year, but he didn't retire until this year. The school is sincere to Duncan, and he thinks it's just incidental to himself. It's not interesting, and he doesn't want to go. "Forget it, I won't go there. After the game, I have to rest and prepare for the playoffs."

"I knew you wouldn't go, and I didn't want to go, and I was going to be a professional player next. I wonder if the NBA is as simple as you said."

"Last month, I won the best rookie of the month for the fifth time. Iverson won the No. 5 pick. I didn't get it once. It made me feel no competition and no meaning at all." Carter bragged slowly, " Then, the last game just beating the Chicago Bulls, I had 36 points on Jordan's defense."

At first glance, it seems quite simple.For others, some bodies just can’t adapt, and some techniques just don’t have room for use.

Not to mention Carter, at least Duncan is fine.

He was taken aback by Carter, "I knew you were going to say this, please, is the NBA really that simple? Did you secretly practice more?"

At this moment, Duncan wants to know the future situation. He is looking forward to the NBA, hoping to play in a big city, make some money, and live a good life with Amy.

He has already captured the school belle of Wake Forest University, and Duncan can't wait to marry Amy after entering the league.

"It's very simple. After you come, I guess it should be 20+10, and then maintain it for more than 10 years, and you retire directly, that's it." Carter directly said the future situation, anyway, Duncan would not believe it, just like a joke. "Look again, he didn't play very well in college, but in the NBA, he's still flourishing."

In college, Carter averaged just over 14 points per game. In the NBA, he doubled that. He currently averages 28.1 points per game. He deserves the title of the strongest rookie in 1996.

Duncan nodded, "The next game against the Timberwolves? I heard that their No. 21 is very powerful, so be careful."

"Don't worry, he is not your opponent." Carter didn't care.

Hard!
Turning to the court, Carter has finished warming up, and the Timberwolves fans are full of enthusiasm. As long as they reach the playoffs, there will be more fans.

Marbury stared at Carter not far away and muttered, "I will blow you up..."

Garnett was full of passion, dancing and constantly signaling to his teammates that he must beat the Nets today.

Carter stretched his muscles and joked with his teammates, "Guys, take care of your body and don't get injured. I don't want to not see you in the playoffs."

"Hehe, wouldn't it be a pity if I got injured without even playing a game when I met the Bulls?" Cassel's mentality was very good.

He already has two championship rings in his hand, both won during his rookie period, and has rich playoff experience. Now his personal ability and game judgment are improving, and he is willing to assist the new king on boarding.

The atmosphere is very active, the Nets are not worried about the fighting power of the Timberwolves, only Rasheed Wallace is really under pressure.

He will face the rookies of the same class, defeat his opponent, or be defeated by the wolf king.

"Control your emotions, Rasheed, Sam and I will let you play beautiful data." Carter quietly relieved Rasheed.

Players from both sides were preparing to jump the ball. Garnett took the lead and kept mumbling, "Today we not only want to make them look good, but also play in style. No one has ever been able to leave easily at the Timberwolves' home court."

"Ouch..." Marbury roared. He really wanted to defeat Carter and face Cassell, "Sam, I will beat you first."

Cassell responded with a warm smile and taught Marbury, "Carter would never say such things. He would never regard himself as a lower-level player."

The gap in mentality is also the gap in strength.

Marbury was suddenly stunned, not knowing how to respond.It wasn't until Tom Gugliotta successfully jumped the ball and patted the ball into Marbury's hands that he recovered.

"Are you thinking about women? Fuck, hurry up." Garnett yelled at Marbury.

For the Timberwolves, Gugliotta serves as the center. Garnett is not tall enough to play the center position. He plays more power forward and often plays small forward, which has the advantage of mismatch.

Garnett's early style of play, similar to Durant's, used height skills to play misplaced, which was not easy to defend.

Garnett received the ball and singled Rasheed, still muttering, "Hey, Rasheed, you have the ability to guard me."

Then he dodged and took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll to make a successful jump shot.

He hammered his chest and roared angrily, feeling strong and happy.Timberwolves fans are happy, this is the tone they like.

Cassel holds the ball, faces Marbury, controls steadily, gives Kendall Gill, Gill faces Chris Kyle, suddenly accelerates, breaks through, and Garnett immediately helps defend.

It was this kind of moment that was important. Gill sent the ball and it was indeed in Carter's hands.Carter faced Dean, who was 208cm tall, and was not affected at all. He slung inside and landed in front of the basket.

Just now Garnett helped defend and let go of Rasheed. Rasheed retreated and received the ball without defense.

It was under the basket, Garnett was still behind him, Gugliota was too late to help defend, and watched Rasheed dunk with both hands.

"It's cool, this is basketball, I really like dunks." Rasheed opened his mouth and puffed at Garnett.

Garnett squirted at him a few times, but didn't start a fight and kept squirting.

One has a big mouth and the other has a broken mouth. He speaks but does not move. He is a gentleman.

The two sides played a fast pace and scored continuously, and the scene was very open.Carter didn't score much in the first quarter, assisted Rashid to score two goals, and Kassel also sent an assist to Rashid.

Rasheed Wallace scored 8 points in the first quarter, which made Garnett very upset.

"Having the ability to attack with the ball, that's what a man is." Garnett made another jump shot, a very accurate mid-range shot.

"A real man wants to dunk, but he's a softie on the outside." Rashid replied to Garnett. He has already dunked three times today. As long as he gets a chance in the paint, he wants to dunk.

Rashid showed off his biceps, "My hot biceps are so hard. Unlike some people, they only have a hard mouth."

Garnett thought for a while, he definitely didn't mean to say that he didn't reply or didn't hear it.

The confrontation between the two is really interesting, and the fans watched it with gusto.After all, it is the Timberwolves' home court, and the fans are very supportive. Rasheed is under pressure and plays a beautiful offense.

Carter had 3 assists in the first quarter and only scored 5 points, easily.Ignore the two insiders' mouth-escape methods.

From the beginning of the second quarter, he continued to eat Dean at the small forward position. Carter had a great advantage in speed, and the opponent couldn't handle it at all.In just 3 minutes, Dean had fouled twice and gave Carter a free throw opportunity once.

again.

Carter caught the ball, broke through with long strides, and cut directly inside.Garnett was smart, didn't defend Carter, and called Gugliota to help defend.

Gugliotta did not suspect him, and stood in front of Carter, and then saw a black shadow descending from the sky.

Pressing his body, he dunked directly into the net.

"God, what did I go through?" Gugliotta fell backwards, was buckled by Carter, and he fell to the ground.

At least it looks like I will try my best and not become the focus of the media.

The Timberwolves fans have already shouted. They didn't expect the Nets to be so strong. Less than 4 minutes into the second quarter, the Nets had already led by 8 points.

Carter's crazy performance broke out without warning, and it was really hard to guard against.Head coach Saunders' face changed, "Vince Carter, you are really good. Only one player like this will emerge in 20 years."

"If Kevin and Vince join forces, they should be able to win the championship, right?" The fans thought the same as Sanders thought.

"Wow, is this Vince Carter?" Many Timberwolves fans were shocked, "The dunk is so amazing. I saw it at the All-Stars before, but I didn't expect it to be so shocking."

Carter has not yet spent a full season. Although all teams have played against each other, there are still a few teams that he has not visited at home. The Timberwolves are one of them, and the other is the home of the Atlanta Hawks. The Nets The season hasn't come yet.

"Vince's dunk is the most beautiful dunk I've ever seen."

"I hope Carter can participate in the dunk contest in the All-Star Game next year and will definitely win."

"Hahaha, Vince's dunking skills are so strong, probably no one wants to sign up with him." The fans saw it clearly, "The actual dunks are so beautiful, let alone the dunk moves designed by the slam dunk contest."

"I want to support Carter, but I don't know if I can do it." Minnesota female fans were fascinated by Carter's demeanor. Recently, they saw Carter's underwear advertisement on TV, and she was indeed in good shape.

Carter's well-proportioned figure makes people forget his handsomeness, which is average.But in the Nets, Carter can still be called a handsome guy.

"I don't know why, but I think Carter is the most handsome player in the Nets. But when he is singled out, he seems to be average." The DJ on the scene actually discussed Carter's appearance.

"No way, look at the Nets players, Carter is really the most handsome." The host told the truth.

The appearance of the players of the Nets can't help but admire.Aliens and McDaniels are ugly stars, and Rasheed is also a buffoon. They are really ugly. In comparison, Carter is much more pleasing to the eye.

At the end of the second quarter, Carter dunked several times in a row to help the Nets open the score.Garnett tried to score, but also used a jumper to get a little closer.

Garnett was very happy, and kept inciting his teammates to rush with him, and then directed them to break into the paint.Marbury took the initiative, he wanted to get inside and cause damage.

"It turns out that getting inside can make fans crazy." Marbury was reminded by Carter's breakthrough and slowly realized it.

In the Timberwolves, he has no peer guidance, and sometimes a veteran can make a difference, but everyone is isolating Marbury, which makes him want to prove himself even more.

Cassel didn't guard him. Marbury started really fast. The lone wolf couldn't block it. He went in. Rasheed didn't help defend. He only had to guard Garnett.

Garnett pulled to the baseline again, prepared to shoot a jumper, and yelled at Marbury, "Steph, I'm here."

Marbury ignored him, continued to sprint, took off, and rushed towards Williams.

Then he dodged in the air and made a beautiful layup.

At this moment, Carter behind Williams flew up and slapped the ball directly onto the backboard. It rebounded and was still in his hands.

Still Carter, blocking "Lone Wolf" Marbury.

The moment he landed, he swung forward with such force that it was directly transmitted to the opposite basket like a cannonball.

Kendall Gill was already running back when Carter took off. He knew Carter's strength, and he could really block shots at this level.

Sure enough, he went to the basket to catch the ball, Kendall jumped high, turned over and dunked with one arm.

"Wow..." After landing, he pointed at Carter excitedly. The best goal of the day was here.

The Timberwolves fans couldn't help applauding, this kind of cooperation is really beautiful.

Hearing the cheers, Marbury felt as if he was being thundered, "So I'm a Minnesota joke? They don't support me."

Without the support of fans, all we can do is pursue money...

"It's beautiful. The cooperation between Carter and Gill is becoming more and more harmonious." Calipari thought to himself, the partner of Carter and Kendall Gill is a bit like a weakened version of Jordan Pippen.

Although Kendall Gill's defense is not as good as Pippen's, he has a high level of steals, and the defensive end is indeed good. He is an above-average player.

Carter pointed to Kendall, this guy, after he was relieved, he played at a high level.He needs to help in the playoffs.

The Timberwolves were beaten hard and there was a gap in strength.

Garnett once again played singles with the ball. Facing Rasheed, he suddenly made a jumper and made a hit.

"Hey..." Garnett howled loudly, "Follow me, the game has just begun."

Beep!At halftime, the Timberwolves trailed by 12 points.
