Basketball UFO

Chapter 52
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,, lu, oh, oh... Carter is on the field, but he's still injured!" The female fan cried while shaking the white rabbit, reluctant to let Carter fight for the game.

"Carter is on the field, ah...my blood can't stretch anymore, the Nets will win!" All the fans shouted.

Fans were the first to be inspired by Carter. News had spread before that Carter was unable to appear due to injury.But at this moment, Carter still had a white gauze on his head, so he still had to appear.

Veteran McDaniels hugged Carter, "Boss, it's up to you!"

After the opening, the Hawks led by 6 points, and when the Nets fell behind, Carter led the game.

Sun Zhengping was very happy when CCTV broadcasted the game live, "The Nets player is No. 15 Vince Carter. Many audience friends may not be familiar with it. Vince Carter played against our men's basketball team in last year's summer league. It was a great performance.”

"Furthermore, Carter loves Chinese culture and is very friendly to China. He can also speak a few words of Chinese, which is very rare among NBA players. Players such as Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong all competed with Carter at that time and had a very good impression of Carter."

When Carter appeared on the stage, even the on-site commentator was overjoyed.

"Vince comes out, guys, remember his name. MOP from Wake Forest, No. 1996 pick in 7, Rookie of the Year, Nets core player, No. 15 jersey owner - Vince - Carter."

The Eagles players were a little panicked when they saw Carter play.

It was said before that Carter was injured and unable to play. Carter really didn't start, but suddenly appeared, which had too much influence on the mentality of the Eagles.

Instant crit.

After Carter came on the court, Cassel gave him the ball immediately, and other players quickly pulled away.

Tyrone Corbin immediately followed up and defended Carter. This was his task.

"Hey, are you healed from your injury?"

Carter held the ball in one hand, listened to the cheers of the fans, and said lightly, "No, it's enough to beat the Eagles."

"Hmph, I don't believe it."

As soon as Tyrone Corbin finished speaking, Carter got up and shot a jumper.

From outside the three-point line, he shot without warning, almost in a dry movement, with an extremely high shooting point and unable to block the shot.

direct hit.

Carter blew the clarion call for the Nets to counterattack.

"As expected of Carter, he took the shot." Sun Zhengping was excited. "This game was great to watch. Carter played through injury, and the king returned. It was very motivating to the Nets players."

Sure enough, the mentality of the Nets players has improved to a higher level.

The Eagles attacked, Mutombo held the ball inside, and Rashid carried him hard, not retreating an inch.At this time, Williams took the initiative to come to help defend, and Mutombo quickly passed the ball to Laettner.

Carter has already switched defenses, blocking Laettner and not giving the opponent a chance.Laettner passed the ball and Steve Smith caught the ball.

Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Kendall Gill immediately stole the ball and rushed forward.

Carter was already behind, and Kendall threw the ball back without looking at the pass.

A figure appeared in the air, and Carter jumped high, overshadowing Blalock who was chasing back.

After receiving the ball, fly directly over the basket.

The beautiful straight-arm dunk, with a bang, ignited the passion of all fans.

The originally excited fans seemed to forget that he was still injured when they saw Carter's powerful figure, and shouted Carter's name crazily.

Calipari is in a happy mood, which is the effect he wants.Carter's physical condition doesn't actually have much problem, but psychological warfare must be fought. The Nets' strength is about the same as that of the Eagles. Without any stimulation, it will be difficult to defeat the powerful Eagles.

As soon as Carter came on the court, the Nets almost tied the score.

It was the Eagles attacking again, and the state had not yet recovered, and the whole team was in a daze.

At this time, Lenny Wilkens couldn't help it. He even forgot to call a timeout to let the players calm down.

Seeing another offensive opportunity lost, Wilkens shook his head, Carter's influence is too great.In the first few games, Carter almost beat the Eagles with his personal performance.

Now that the return of the king is staged, the Nets' momentum is unstoppable.

Cassel also received an assist from Carter and made a beautiful three-pointer at the top of the arc, overtaking the score.

Before the official timeout in the first quarter, the Nets hit a 12:2 climax and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

"As expected of Carter, the Nets finally took the lead." The fans were excited, "Vince doesn't get hurt, that's the most important thing."

"I have to play even with injuries. Carter is really the guardian of the Nets. Woohoo...I love Carter to death, and I will always support him."

In the scene of the basketball court, the twin sisters are wearing cool clothes, screaming wildly, and there is only one sentence, which will always be "Carter, I love you!"

Carter's appearance aroused the enthusiasm of the Nets players, and they played more and more confidently.

"Already leading by 10 points, it's hard to believe. Carter scored 10 points in the half, but had 7 assists and grabbed 5 rebounds. It was a very exciting data performance." The on-site commentary was very excited, "The Nets lead by 10 points, Exactly what Carter scored."

CCTV's Sun Zhengping was shocked beyond measure, "It's hard to imagine that a player who played with an injury could show such a performance."

During the intermission, Carter went into the bathroom, took out the prepared blood bag, put a little bit in the gauze, and then stuck it carefully.

You can't see it in the game, if you are hit or pressed, it will "bleed".

"Carter rarely attacked the basket today. It seems that his wounds have not completely healed." At the beginning of the second half, Carter did not attack the basket.

Make more use of mid-range shots and assists to attack opponents.

Lenny Wilkens immediately adjusted his defensive tactics to let Laettner pull out more and cover the mid-range shot area as much as possible.

However, the Nets have already opened up the situation, and Rashid took the initiative to pull to the outside line and use the COSCO to mobilize Laettner.Steve Smith defended immediately.

Empty inside.Carter suddenly accelerated and shook off Mutombo's defense.

Dunk into the net.

Once again ignite the passion of the fans.

Mutombo was very upset, "If I have the ability to dunk it again, I will definitely take it off."

"Okay, wait for me." Carter finished his words, and Tongbo also overshadowed him. In the previous few games, Carter kept breaking through and was blocked by Tongbo once, trying to regain his position.

Blaylock controlled the basketball and lost confidence against Cassell.Hang into the inside line early.

Leitner received the ball, facing Masenberg this time, the pressure was not small, and his whole back hurt.

Before he could pass the ball, he was suddenly intercepted and Carter made the move.

Dash with the ball and pass it to Cassel.Cassell passed back again, still to Carter.

Only Carter's dunk will make the fans excited.

"Here it comes, here it comes again... Carter's dunk!"

Sure enough, Carter took half a step inside the free throw line, jumped directly, strode in the air, relaxed and freehand, and dunked extremely violently.

Bombing the basket, bang bang.

After Carter's dunk, the audience burst into cheers.

Who would have thought that the injured Carter was still vigorous, still violently raging at the basket.

He walked towards Mutombo, "Why are you running so slowly? I have already dunked and I haven't seen you yet. Next time, hurry up to block the shot."

Mutombo looked depressed, what's going on, it was a fast break just now, okay?Which big center can play such a fast fast break, no one, definitely no one.

The lead of the Nets is getting bigger and bigger.The camera was shown to Carter again, and the gauze on his forehead began to ooze blood. In the 5-second long shot, everyone saw Carter's difficulty.

"It's really not easy for Vince Carter to come out with an injury."

"As expected of Carter, even if he played with an injury, he was able to perform at the top level, making him invincible."

"I bought it, Carter is still bleeding, and he can still dunk, I'm a fan of him."

By the end of the third quarter, Carter only scored 20 points, but he had 11 assists and grabbed 7 rebounds. His performance was as good as ever.

There are also 2 steals and 1 block, and the data is still comprehensive.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Calipari did not put Carter on the court and let him rest on the sidelines.The team doctor came over and asked Carter if he needed to change the gauze.

"No, I'm fine, the game is more important now." Carter waved his hand and refused, he couldn't let his little thoughts be seen.

"Vince, you'd better change the bandage. If the injury gets worse, we can't afford it." The team doctor was worried that it was a suture problem, and strongly demanded that the gauze be changed.

Carter still refused, broke up with the team doctor for a while, and the two walked into the player tunnel together.

The hearts of the fans tugged again, but they didn't expect to come out again after a while.

Carter put on the mask, and the gauze could no longer be seen...

"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Carter is fine."

"Carter looks even more handsome with the mask on, like Batman."

The fans looked at the leading score and were in the mood to ridicule.In this game, other players of the Nets also took responsibility. Cassel passed the ball continuously and assisted the inside players to open the scoring account.

Rasheed finally dunked over Mutombo, roaring with excitement and beating his chest, wanting to vent.Mutombo has been suppressed in three games, and he has to find some ground in the fourth game.

"It's so cool, this is the game." Rasheed yelled at Mutombo, very excited.

The game was played smoothly.

In the previous few games, the scores of the two sides were very close, and the win or loss did not exceed 10 points. So far in this game, the Nets have led by 13 points, which is the biggest point difference in these games.

Michael Jordan was also watching the live broadcast. Seeing Carter's crazy game, he smiled, as if he was a little familiar. "The drama of the return of the king will never go out of date."

After Carter put on the mask, he became more vigorous, as if he had broken the seal on his body.

Continuous breakthroughs and scoring, led the team to another 6:0 climax.

The Eagles were a little overwhelmed and began to retreat steadily.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, they were already 21 points behind and unable to recover.

Even if Lenny Wilkens is unwilling to admit it, he must recognize the situation. The game is over. Under the leadership of Carter, the Nets played with [-]% confidence.

"The game is over, the Nets are about to win the game. The Eagles have begun to replace the main players." Sun Zhengping was very happy. The CCTV commentator had to remain objective, but couldn't help but applaud Carter, "I have to say, all this These are all changes brought about by Carter. He played through injuries and improved the Nets' confidence tremendously."

"If there are Chinese players in the NBA, I believe that if they play such a game, they will get a lot of support." Sun Zhengping began to popularize basketball knowledge, "In the 1987 NBA draft, center Song Tao was the 67th The pick was selected by the Eagles, but it was a pity that Song Tao was injured and couldn't make the trip."

Back then the Eagles had already prepared a contract, and Song Tao might become the first Chinese player to land in the NBA. Unfortunately, during a training session, he was injured by a teammate and suffered a severe comminuted fracture of the knee and patella, which not only destroyed Song Tao's NBA dream, but also ruined careers.

After Song Tao, another Chinese player expressed his willingness to play in the NBA. Both Hu Weidong and Wang Zhizhi may become players who officially land in the NBA.

Seeing the Hawks' main players gradually coming off the field, Calipari was the first to replace Carter and let him sit on the sidelines.Robert Pike immediately sent a hot towel and put it on Carter's head.

"Boss, it's amazing, this game is amazing." The unfinished feeling made Robert Parker very excited.

I didn't expect Carter to have such a great influence on the Nets. One person controlled the trend of the court and the emotions of the fans in the audience.

"Small, the next game is the most critical game." Carter is not complacent, he is eager to break through the first round, meet the Bulls in the playoffs, and feel the distance from the championship.

The original plan of the Nets was just to make it to the playoffs, and selling tickets for two games was enough, and it might go further.

If they break through the first round, they can still sell tickets for at least 2 games.Well, assuming it is swept by the Bulls, it's two tickets, and for the team, it's another million dollars in ticket sales.

"It's time to play, and hold on to the fruits of victory." Carter reminded Robert Parker. This guy was so busy getting Carter an energy drink that he didn't hear the coach call him.

Replacing Cassell, Rasheed is the only player left on the Nets court.

Cassel sat next to Carter, still not satisfied, "Vince, we may win the next game."

"I'm also thinking about this issue. But the game hasn't been played yet, and the Eagles are not easy to deal with. They have a strong defense and are very deterrent inside."

"Well, I'll remind everyone, don't get carried away. The series is not over yet." Cassell has enough experience in the playoffs and does not want the hard-won good situation to be ruined.

David Stern turned off the TV, full of ambitions in his heart, "Another superstar embryo has appeared, Vince Carter, and it is better than I imagined. If it is polished for a few years, it can be introduced to the world as a signature player of the league."

Jordan is likely to retire directly next season. Where the NBA will go by then is a question that he, the president, must consider.

The league needs enough superstar support. After Michael Jordan, no one can currently support the league's ratings, and it also needs a group of stars.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game ended smoothly.The Nets held on to the final victory with a score of 100:92.

Carter played only 29 minutes, scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists. His score was not the highest in the game, but his role was definitely the biggest in the game.

"After this game, Vince Carter has become an undisputed star in the league. More importantly, the Nets have completely belonged to his team."

Jason - Williams and Robert - Parker, Massenberg formed a dark trio, performed quite well, contained the Eagles on the defensive end of play.

Wilkens left a sentence after the game, "The next game, the Eagles will win at home."

The game entered the tiebreaker.
