Chapter 70 070 I want to beat him

(Please subscribe, we are recovering from typhoon disaster these days, more updates will be available in two days, sorry.)
The Heat challenged the Nets away.

It can be said that he did not work hard, scoring 28 points in a single quarter, leading the Nets by 11 points.

Carter was speechless. The opponent lacked Zhengyin center, and he was scored high.The interior defense has done a good job, but the Heat made a lot of magic balls from the outside.

Cassell was the most depressed. Facing "Bug" Tim Hardaway, today he was played by the opponent's speed and was very uncomfortable.

"Man, can't you keep up with him?" Carter rolled his eyes. "I'll just guard him in the second quarter. You follow Mashburn."

"He just had a good touch in the first quarter, and it's impossible to last the whole game. I will limit him." Kassel was not convinced, he couldn't be singled out, and then called the boss to stand out.

"Better so."

Carter beats his teammates in his own way. He doesn't need to use harsh words. The other party understands them immediately.As long as you have a little bit of shame, you will do your best to defend your position.

Rashid played easier today. Austin is also 208 tall, and his strength and speed are not as good as him.Jason Williams stared at Rasheed, "If you can't defend, just change it. I'm fine as a center forward."

"Just keep an eye on PJ Brown, don't affect my performance. I don't have so much time to defend you." Rashid finally got back his words, and he really performed well today.

Now several people are off the court, watching the substitute players play.

Big Ben also found a sense of accomplishment in Austin, directly restricting the opponent outside the small penalty area, relaxed and freehand.Eric Mobley also used his footsteps, hit a dunk, and slowly found the feeling of integrating into the team.

Among the main players, only Cassel is still on the court.He brought the substitute lineup and played for 3 minutes, narrowing the point difference to 10 points.

Carter and the others re-appeared, and immediately set off a whirlwind of fast fighting.

"Go ahead..." Robert Parker held the ball and sprinted wildly. He didn't know if there was a bug in front of him, so he bumped into it.

It seemed to hit someone, but it didn't seem to, the referee didn't blow the whistle.Quickly shifted to the outside, Kendall Gill caught the ball, made a high-scoring two-pointer and made a hit.The score is getting closer.

Carter also faced Mashburn and directly hit a three-pointer.Evened the score.

"Man, it's a good defense, and it's a little bit close." Carter prodded Mashburn.

Mashburn is very comprehensive. Facing Carter, he immediately used a fadeaway jumper to find a shot.But luckily, it missed.

Jason Williams grabs the rebound, throws it forward, and Carter is past half court, ready to catch.

Just now, while Carter failed to block Mashburn, he was ready to start.Seeing the basketball bounce off the hoop, I rushed forward immediately. After halftime, the sky was high and the sea was wide.Adjust the rhythm and pay attention to the players coming from behind. It is Mashburn and Voshan Leonard who are chasing wildly. The two are following up quickly.

Carter glanced out of the corner of his eye and sprinted to the basket without dunking.Leave the basketball behind.

Behind him is Kendall Gill. He received the ball, got up directly, vacated, and dunked.

There is also a different feeling.Carter's dunks are full of beauty, and other players' dunks can also score.Kendall Gill's dunk won him the cheers of all the fans.

"Kendall, I knew you were behind me." Carter pointed to Kendall who was dunking. He was very excited!

"Vince, this dunk is so cool." Kendall hit a goal to overtake the score.

After the Nets exerted their strength, the Heat, which lacked an inside barrier, quickly became unable to parry and slowly fell behind.

Calipari finally felt relieved, "The team is finally back to normal. Fortunately, it was not disrupted by the Heat's three-axes." After falling behind in the first quarter, they overtook the score in the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second half, the performance of the Nets became more and more stable. Both the offense and defense of the inside and outside line were on the same channel. It was difficult for the Heat players to find loopholes.Tim Hardaway can still score points with his personal ability, and Mashben faced Carter and felt uncomfortable.

"Vince, why are you working so hard? Don't you win?"

Carter smiled slightly, "I can relax after you admit defeat. You are my opponent, and I respect you very much."

"Eh..." Mashburn was so depressed. It was obvious that Vince Carter didn't have to work so hard, but sometimes it was hard to imagine.

In any case, Mashburn has also been trained by the Heat Devils, but facing Carter's defense, it is still difficult for him to play. Carter's wingspan is too long, and he can always cover Mashburn.

The Heat scored 14:28 in the second quarter and have been reversed.By the third quarter, morale had not improved. They only scored 16 points in a single quarter. The Nets scored 24 points in a single quarter, already leading their opponents by 11 points.

Pat Riley couldn't think of a better way, and the defensive barrier inside was missing.It has too much influence on the team's entire system structure. In Riley's tactical system, Mourning is an irreplaceable link.

"Today we can only admit defeat. The season is still long. Don't worry about our lineup." After the game, Pat Riley told reporters that he was very reluctant. The tactics in the first quarter were successful. So fast, it quickly overtook the score.

"Vince Carter is the core of the Nets, and his role is too great. We can't limit Carter, which gives the opponent a chance." Carter actually didn't score very high today, only 22 points, but he grabbed 9 rebounds , and 11 assists, a near-triple-double, which completely revitalized the team.

In the matchup with Mashburn, he directly steals the opponent 2 times and blocks 1 time.Carter has 3 steals in the game, which is a surprising number of steals. Kendall Gill has the highest steal acumen, and only 2 steals.

"The team adjusted quickly. We fell behind in the first quarter, but the team adhered to the established tactics. Under the leadership of Carter, we successfully overtook the score." Calipari was very happy that the team won another game. Since the beginning of the season, the team has maintained a complete victory, exceeding everyone's expectations. "Of course, the Heat are not a complete team. Alonzo Mourning's injury and absence are the key factors in their failure. I believe they Still a strong team.”

Calipari's habit is to always affirm his opponent.Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he gives his opponent enough respect, and he always praises the opponent until the opponent is embarrassed to scold you.

Rashid finally felt elated today, and followed the head coach out to be interviewed by reporters.

"In the first few games, my performance was average because I absorbed the content of summer training. From now on, I will become better and stronger."

In fact, not much has changed, scoring 16 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and a double-double.The performance was the same as Jason Williams, who scored 10 points but had 16 rebounds.

In several games so far this season, Jason Williams has more than 13 rebounds, which is very eye-catching.It seems that he is heading for the title of rebounding champion.

When the reporter heard Rasheed's exaggeration, he quickly poured cold water on him, "The Nets will play against the Bulls in the next game. Do you have the confidence to beat the team that sent you home to fish in the playoffs last season?"

The Bulls are not doing well.

There were problems within the team. Scottie Pippen claimed that he was unable to play for the team because of his foot injury and surgery at the beginning of the season. , everyone knows that he wants to use such problems to pressure the Bulls to change his contract.

Pippen's annual salary this season is only $277.5 million, which is comparable to Jordan's annual salary of $3314 million. In the Bulls, they can only rank sixth.And if it is placed in the entire league, it can only be ranked 122nd.Compared with his strength and contribution, this salary is indeed too little.

So even if Pippen is unable to play, the Bulls players can understand his decision.After all, who doesn’t want to make more money.

But Bulls general manager Krause didn't want to change Pippen's contract. It was signed in black and white.

If it weren't for Jordan's obstruction, Klaus would have traded Pippen for McGrady long ago.

Of course, it is precisely because of the existence of high-power contracts with basic salaries like Pippen that the team has more salary space to attract strong reinforcements and build a dynasty.Just like the Warriors in parallel time and space, because Curry signed a four-year $2012 million contract in 4, after the salary cap soared, they still had enough salary space to sign Durant to achieve the three-year triple crown.

Before the game against the Bulls, Rodman attended the press conference. Hearing that Jason Williams grabbed more than 10 rebounds in a row, Rodman looked proud and said, "It doesn't matter, he just didn't meet me. I I will teach him a lesson."

In the business of rebounding, no one is more proficient than Rodman.

"Vince Carter? How he performs, that's Michael Jordan's business. What I have to do is grab the rebound and then give it to Michael." Rodman didn't take his opponent seriously at all.

He won't worry about things that Jordan can handle, grab the rebound and let Jordan handle it.He doesn't care about the triangle offense, doesn't he just give the ball to the strongest player?

In Rodman's understanding, the triangle offense is to give the ball to the most secure position.That's it for Jordan, everything is simple.

Phil Jackson is not as relaxed as Rodman. He knows that the team has not been in a good state recently.Pippen can't play, and facing the Nets is actually not easy.

"The Nets are a strong team. They played six games with us last season. Remember, we also played six games in the finals. We will pay attention to the game with the Nets and hope to give the fans victory."

Even without Pippen, Carter wanted to win.

Last season, the Nets tried their best and could only get two wins from the Bulls. The gap in strength was difficult to make up.This season, if the Bulls have a complete lineup, the Nets still can't compare.

But now that Pippen is unable to play, it is the Nets' chance.

"Brothers, you don't want to be beaten by the Bulls all the time, right?" Carter lectured his teammates, "Maybe the playoff games last season can continue. We must try the true strength of the Nets. If If we can defeat the Bulls who lack Pippen, we can continue to compete with them in the playoffs."

"I'm going to beat Rodman," Jason Williams muttered.Last season, he was injured by Hua Da Chong, and he always wanted to take revenge. Even if it was just the regular season, it would be good to find some ground.

The game is coming soon.

The Bulls arena is crowded with people, and every fan is shouting Jordan's name.

This is the god of the Bulls, and perhaps, the "goat" in the league!
Carter looked at the confident Jordan, full of fighting spirit.

No matter what, the first meeting of the season will always give Jordan a big gift.

Calipari saw Carter's change of mind, "Vince, go challenge him! That person is your target."

There is no need for 5 championships, as long as the championship is achieved, Carter is a top player.That's what Calipari wanted.

"I want to beat him!"

Carter didn't talk nonsense and was full of strength.
