(Please subscribe!)
Gary Payton looked at the scores between the two teams and couldn't believe that he was beaten so hard today that he was unable to fight back.

Doesn't it mean that the Nets are just Carter's team? If Carter performs mediocrely, the Nets can't win?In this game, Carter still only scored 24 points, which was not a high score, but the team still cooperated smoothly. Of course, Carter alone sent 9 assists, the most in the game.

Cassel faced Gary Payton and scored 23 points and 4 assists, and also performed a wonderful performance of hitting consecutive three-pointers.

"Damn it, why is your defense tighter than last night's girl." Gary Payton was very upset, angry at Carter who switched defenses, this group of people really has energy, and the rotation defense is simple and straightforward.

Carter and Cassell switched positions and guarded Gary Payton.Isn't this bullying him because his height and speed are not as good as Carter's?

The Nets have led by 16 points and there are still 3 minutes left in the game, but Carter does not want to relax.

He has found the feeling of post-up singles. In this game, he almost used post-up singles to challenge the opponent. He also used dislocation to beat Gary Payton, and the opponent could not prevent Carter's post-up.

Gary Payton couldn't help but curse and talk trash.

He is also a master of trash talking, often fighting with his opponents, passing you is like crossing the road in the early morning...from Gary Payton.

Um?Gary Payton was stunned. When did Carter learn to talk trash?When we met last season, I never heard Carter criticize anyone.It has only been a long time before Carter's self-confidence has grown to this level.

Players without strength will be trained to death for talking trash.Generally, those who dare to talk trash talk have some strength.

"Sorry, you're so good at talking, I don't even know how to respond." Gary Payton wanted to talk about the car.The car Carter endorses is only the Corvette sports car of the American brand Chevrolet.

Then I thought of the past when I was criticized by Jordan, and I held it back.At that time, he told Jordan that he already had a Ferrari, and he was very proud. Jordan said, my Ferrari was a gift from the manufacturer.

"Is your sports car a gift from the manufacturer?" Gary Payton planned to ask first.

While talking, Carter made a sudden move, wrapped his long arms around, and snatched the basketball away.Stealing the ball from Gary Payton is extremely rare.

Peyton caught up immediately, "Chicken, you stab someone in the back."

"I don't even want a car that's not a gift from a sponsor." Carter muttered, sending a long pass to the basket. McDaniels made a layup and finally scored.

"Nice pass, Vince, you are so cool today." McDaniels knew that he would make a lot of money today. As long as he wins the opponent at home, the boss will arrange nightlife.Let your teammates enjoy it.

The DJ at the scene also roared, "Everyone, cheers for Vince Carter! Today Vince got 10 assists, a double-double, and his performance is as stable as ever."

"Vince, I love you!"

"Wow, as expected of Vince, the pass is so beautiful."

After Gary Payton was intercepted, he lost the will to chase back and slowly walked off the field.

George Karl failed to quickly hone a new tactical system.Vin Baker replaced Sean Kemp and performed well. He almost had 20+10 statistics in every game, but his deterrence was not as good as Kemp's and he was not as showy or revealing.

Vin Baker's trend this season is the same as Kemp's. They both played well and had good statistics. However, next season, especially after a long period of lockdown, the two have been unable to maintain their form.At the same time, he disappeared without a trace, and could no longer put up good statistics, so he left the stage sadly.

Carter played very easily, playing only 30 minutes, scoring 24 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds, 2 of which were offensive rebounds.Comprehensive data also includes 2 steals, including 1 steal from Gary Payton, who is known as the player with the strongest ball protection.Blocked Vin Baker and Jose Hawkins, and also recorded 2 blocks.

"To say that Vince has hit the rookie wall, maybe judging from the scoring data, it is possible. But his scoring method is adjusting, the proportion of post-up singles is increasing, and his threat is actually getting stronger, not getting weaker." More and more. The more people in the media discovered the clues.

Carter doesn't look like he's hit the rookie wall at all, but has become more difficult to guard.

"Penny" Hardaway looked at Carter's performance and pouted. Last season, Carter stole some tricks, but this season, he felt a little bit easy to catch. The comprehension of post-up singles is really strong.

Jordan was also observing Carter, and smiled disdainfully, "This guy, he stole my skills again."

Among the players in the same class, Kobe Bryant is still attacking the main position, and Marbury is still in the Timberwolves. Looking at Garnett's top salary, he is a little envious. .

Ray Allen is not yet the core player of the team, just a strong role player.Between the Grizzlies and Raptors, Raheem and Camby have received insufficient attention.

Iverson has become the core player of the 76ers. He led the team last season and failed to win the No. [-] pick. He is still struggling to lead the team this season. He will face the Nets in the next game, which is under a lot of pressure.Iverson was unruly and he didn't want to admit defeat.

"Vince Carter is the core player of the Nets. I will break through his defense and defeat Carter in my own way." Iverson couldn't help but speak when facing the media.

He wanted to break through Carter, knock him to the ground, and beat him.

As a rookie in the same class, Iverson is still the No. [-] pick and must prove that he is stronger.Carter's performance put tremendous pressure on others. How could he be so strong in his rookie season?

In particular, Carter's appearance last season was ridiculously strong, making it impossible for others to keep up. The brilliance of the players in the 1996 draft was taken away by Carter, especially Iverson. As the No. [-] pick, the title of best rookie was taken away by Carter. How could he be convinced.

"I believe in Iverson. He will beat Vince Carter. Iverson has unparalleled magic." Larry Brown became the head coach of the 76ers this season and gradually took control of the team and began his own transformation. He must follow the management's instructions. Meaning, build a strong team with Iverson as the core.

"I know something about Vince Carter. He has a rich arsenal of weapons and has recently added post-ups. The team has responded and we will find ways to limit him." Larry Brown is defensive first The coach is famous for not using rookies, preferring to use mature players to build a competitive lineup.

Calipari also shared what happened at the press conference with Carter.On the Nets side, Jason Williams went out for an interview.

"Jason is a little excited and praises you a little too high. Don't be stressed." Calipari said with a smile.Jason Williams directly criticized Iverson during the press conference, saying that Carter would defeat Iverson.As long as Carter is willing, he will be the top player in the league. After Michael Jordan, he will be Vince Carter.

Carter smiled bitterly, "He really knows how to draw hatred for me. Forget it, pressure is pressure. Without pressure, there is no motivation to compete."

The 76ers wanted to achieve better results, so they invited Larry Brown. Since the beginning of this season, the 76ers have been building competitiveness.If Iverson wants to enter the playoffs, he really relies on Larry Brown's defensive tactics.

The provocation before the game made the fans excited.It has been a long time since I heard tit-for-tat words between players.

"What Jason Williams said was so exciting. Carter would never be able to say it himself."

"Carter's personality is relatively kind, and he doesn't intentionally provoke people. Others are different. Hehe, it's only exciting to have such a confrontation."

"Is Vince really a player second only to Jordan? Why do I feel that there are still many All-Stars who are not weaker than Carter?"

"Come on, everyone else is old, so there is nothing to be afraid of. I feel Carter is really very strong. Jordan will retire next season. By then, the strongest players in the NBA will have to be compared!"

Fans have various opinions, and many fans support Carter.Jordan will definitely retire next season. If other players want to stand at the top, they must prove it through the championship.

Game time is coming soon. The 76ers are already working hard and are ready to overturn the Nets on the road.

"I will blow up Vince Carter, no one can stop me, I said it." Iverson muttered the words, feeling full of power.

The Philadelphia 76ers have arranged the strongest lineup currently. The center is Eric Montrose. He has been a bench player before and also played for the Nets. He did not expect to become the main force and did not produce good data.The power forward is Clarence Witherspoon, who averaged 12.2 points and 8.3 rebounds last season.

Small forward, spring man Tim Thomas, the No. 1997 pick in 7, averaged 11 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, and adapted quite well.The shooting guard is Jerry Stackhouse, who has fallen out with the team and wants to leave the team. He averaged 20.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game last season.If Iverson hadn't appeared, he could even have become the core of the 76ers.

The point guard is naturally Allen Iverson, who averaged 23.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game last season, very eye-catching data.Among all rookies last season, his performance ranked second, second only to Vince Carter.

When Iverson was training, he kept staring at Carter, simply shot a few balls, which was considered a warm-up, and then went off the court.He knows that it will be difficult for the team to defeat the Nets with a full lineup, but he will use personal data to defeat Carter.

Larry Brown is emphasizing to the substitute players that they must rush for points at a special time.The scoring ability of Jim Jackson and Mark Davis is indeed better than that of the Nets' substitutes.

For the Nets, it's still a familiar formula.

Center Rasheed Wallace and power forward Jason Williams have already made it known that this game will definitely be exciting.

Carter is still a small forward. He is quite used to playing this position. He has enough height and skills, and he is prone to mistakes when switching defenses.

The shooting guard is still Kendall Gill, who has averaged 3 steals per game recently and is very aggressive on the defensive end.

The point guard is still "alien" Sam Cassell, who is under great pressure today.Iverson's impact will make him very uncomfortable.

"Vince, I'm going to be beaten today." Cassell looked helpless. He really couldn't guard against fast players.

Carter opened his mouth. The problem was not big. Winning was the most important thing. "The team will beat the 76ers. Just organize it well. I will take care of other things."

If Iverson dares to come in, cover him.

He dared to provoke before the game, so he must be taught a lesson.
