From today on is the king

Chapter 577 576. Welcome to the Sky Slashing Group

Carter was very angry that he was ignored by the Eagles!
After the start of the second quarter, Carter came up and scored two three-pointers in a row, plus a breakthrough dunk and a dunk to Jerome Williams, leading the Raptors to 10 points in a row.

The Eagles were playing with ease, but were caught off guard by Carter's sudden outburst.

Although the Eagles also relied on Jason Terry to score 4 points, the total score was chased by the Raptors to 30 to 31!

The Eagles have only 1 point left in their lead!

After playing for 3 minutes, the Eagles were forced to call a timeout!

None of the four major shooting guards, Koaimeka, can be ignored. When Carter was ignored by the Eagles, he suddenly broke out in the second quarter.

Now the Eagles are only leading by 1 point, which means that the game between the two teams seems to be back to the restart!
But Coach Kruger didn’t panic. Except for the Eagles, Nets, Pistons, and Pacers in the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference this year, the other teams’ lineups are very poor. This is the consensus of all fans and the media.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, Kwame Brown were replaced.

Raheem and Rasheed - Wallace are still placed on the bench to rest.

On the Raptors side, Coach Wilkens looked at the Eagles' rotation with a sore heart. If he hadn't left the Eagles two years ago, this lineup would have been his!
Look at this group of people. Except for Carter, they are either veterans who are about to retire, or rookies, or weak chickens.

The key point is that this rookie is too psychologically fragile. He is not angry when he is abused, but looks like he is about to cry.

Coach Wilkens didn't dare to replace Milicic, for fear that he would be targeted by the opponent and have a psychological breakdown.

But unexpectedly, when the Hawks called a timeout and Wilkens was rearranging tactics for Carter, Milicic actually came up and asked to play!

Coach Wilkens was a little surprised to see Milicic's renewed fighting spirit, but Carter was really upset when he saw Milicic. He finally found a chance to explode.

Milicic caught Carter's eyes and immediately said: "Coach, I'm not their opponent yet, but my pick-and-roll and mid-range shots can create better opportunities for Vince."

Not yet?
When Carter heard this, he looked at Milicic in surprise, which was too surprising.

Carter has been working with Milicic for almost two months since he returned to the team and started the training camp. Although Milicic is talented, he is very fragile inside. When he encounters an opponent he can't deal with, he will force him to fight, but when he loses, he will be silent and silent, and his face is full of grievances.

But this time, being teased by Liu Mang and others like this, he would actually say that it is not the case now, that is, he is confident that he will be the opponent of Rasheed Wallace and others in the future?

Needless to say, although I really hate this rookie, it is this rookie who has made his team status unstable and his tactical core position is gone, but Carter's impression of this rookie has greatly changed this time.

If he was really robbed of his core position and forced away by a soft guy with a weak mentality, Carter might hate Milicic for the rest of his life, but now, although Carter still hates Milicic from the bottom of his heart, his emotional intelligence is back on the line.

"Coach, let me go up with Darko, I'll take him to fight." Carter also suggested.

Just like what Milicic said, it is true that Milicic is not an opponent of the Eagles inside group, but this is already Carter's best teammate now.

As a star who entered the NBA in the 90s, although the Raptors have done unreasonable things to him in the past two years, Carter still hopes to stay in the Raptors. With his emotional intelligence, he can guess how much his reputation and popularity will be affected if he leaves the Raptors.

Moreover, Carter is also very yearning for such a thing as one person, one city. He hopes that one day, when he retires, there will be a city and a team. Like Russell and Jordan, people will think of him when they are mentioned.

Coach Wilkens was very surprised by such a big change between Milicic and Carter today. Regardless of Milicic’s side, Wilkens could see Carter’s dissatisfaction, but he couldn’t help it. He was just the head coach.

But the request of the Raptors management is to train Milicic as the core, so Carter will definitely be dissatisfied.

But now Milicic took the initiative to play a supporting role, and Carter also said that he would bring Milicic to play, which made Wilkens overjoyed. When the No.1 team and the two people who are regarded as the core of the team have such ideas, he has enough reasons to suggest that the management trade reinforcements.

Coach Wilkens replaced Alvin Williams, Carter, Peterson, Jerome Williams and Milicic.

……

Back from the timeout, the Eagles attack.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Jason Terry. Jason Terry was very upset that Carter made two head-on shots just now. He got the ball and dribbled for two steps to make a breakthrough, but when he stepped on the three-point line, he suddenly pulled up and shot!
Alvin Williams took a big step back to guard Jason Terry's drive, was shot cold, and Jason Terry made a long two-pointer.

Jason Terry, who was watching Sao Bao's gliding celebration while Liu Mang returned to defense, was speechless. Can't he take off a few centimeters earlier and make a shot?Stepping on the three-point line is the worst shot. The difficulty is similar to that of a three-pointer, but only two points.

But this shows that the Raptors now have no defensive discipline, but their ability is really poor. Alvin Williams is 29 years old and has begun to decline significantly, mainly in terms of physical fitness.

The age of 25 and six is ​​the peak of physical fitness. What does peak mean? It means the day when you reach the peak, and then it will decline every day. For most players, the speed of decline is unbelievably fast. If you say decline, you will decline. It can be seen from the average NBA player's career of only [-] years.

Alvin Williams was afraid of being broken by Jason Terry, so he chose to retreat and defend. His consciousness is good, but Jason Terry dares to make a move if he is given a little space. Anyway, he is the sixth man, so he can make a move.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Carter advances with the ball.

Liu Mang looked at Carter differently!Moreover, the running position of the Raptors and Milicic give people a different feeling!

Although he didn't know what ulterior secrets Carter and Milicic had, Liu Mang knew that he had to fight seriously!A great start to the race, but don't capsize in the gutter!

Prince moved towards Carter to defend.

Carter had a headache when he saw Prince. How could the Eagles pick someone at random and play for two years, and they are so strong?Just now, after he took advantage of the Eagles' unpreparedness and shot two three-pointers on Jason Terry's head, Prince immediately defended him, and he could only rely on explosive power and speed to break through. Prince's height and wingspan are too scary to defend against shots.

The Raptors opened up the space. Milesis went to the middle distance on the left side of the free throw line to open up the space and pulled Kwame Brown out. Alvin Williams went to the right corner to take Liu Mang to open up the space.

Carter took a look at the opponent's defense, and the space was widened... really bad!
Liu Mang obviously didn't care about Alvin Williams' 20.00% three-point shooting percentage, and he didn't completely defend against it. It was clear that Carter made a breakthrough, and he double-teamed.

Carter beckoned Milicic to come over for a pick-and-roll. Milicic blocked on Carter's left side. Carter deliberately avoided Liu Mang's double-teaming direction and made a pick-and-roll breakthrough on the left side of the basket!
To Carter's surprise, Kwame Brown's footsteps were so fast, blocking him in front of him!
Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll awareness is the most surprising part of the Eagles. With such good physical fitness, the pick-and-roll awareness is still so good. In 2006, the Lakers once led 3-1 in the first round. Kwame-Brown and Kobe's defensive combination prevented Nash's pick-and-roll is the key!

Under Kwame Brown's timely and fierce blocking, Carter failed to start the speed immediately after the pick-and-roll!
At this time, Prince bypassed Milicic and came to attack Carter. Milicic had a good sense and immediately cut to the basket. Carter was overjoyed and immediately distributed the ball to Milicic. Milicic dribbled to the basket.

Milicic rushed to the free throw line, took a big step, and dunked!
Although Milicic dribbled a few steps, Carter had no assists, but this was a rare connection between the two, and it was initiated from Carter. Carter was very excited, but when Milicic took off, Carter saw the figure rushing in from the baseline, was startled, and shouted: "Be careful!"

But it was too late, Milicic had already flew out and dunked the ball towards the basket!
Just when Milicic was ready to hit the ground and roared like the opponent's power forward, the ball had been dunked and was about to be dunked into the basket, a big hand that was obviously out of proportion to his arm appeared in his sight!
"Snapped"

"Get me down!"

Milicic felt a huge force coming from the ball in his hand, and the ball broke free from his hand!The ball hit Milicic's head and bounced out of bounds!
Milicic lost his balance and stepped back a few steps after landing, protecting himself narrowly, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, and was not directly overturned by the cap.

After landing, Liu Mang blew on his hand. Seeing the rookie who seemed to have regained his fighting spirit, Liu Mang felt that it was time. A soft rookie, even if he was talented, Liu Mang felt that bullying him would not be fun.

Now that Milicic seems to be cheered up, Liu Mang's interest has come. Now that he has cheered up, let's beat him to the ground again!

But, at the very least, Milicic tried to change his style of play and tried to fight against his own side. Liu Mang developed respect for Milicic. Of course, he had to bully this rookie even more!
After blowing his hands, Liu Mang said to Milicic who was sitting on the floor: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

……

In this game, the most difficult thing for the Eagles to deal with was Carter, but Carter broke out alone, and the Eagles were not afraid. When Milicic was still targeted, Carter had no choice but to start a personal attack mode.

It's really hard to defend. Even Prince can't guard against Carter, who has a lot of scoring skills, and Raheem can't guard against him when he comes up, but the Eagles can double-team, and the Raptors have too many open shots.

Carter can only come by himself.

Carter turned on the personal scoring mode, and the Raptors' offense was all on him. Carter kept breaking through, constantly attracting double-team passes or making fouls by himself, and occasionally had to make a three-pointer. Carter played really well today, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

For the Eagles, Jason Terry wasted most of the quarter, and the Raptors were undefendable. Peterson was good at defense but slow. They are all willing to hand over the ball to the opponent, except that Jason Terry is a little short on the defensive end and has a lot of problems, otherwise the Eagles' double wave in the backcourt is perfect.

In the third quarter, the Eagles were about to reap the game. They deployed Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff's defensive combination like a meat grinder, and scored a score of 30 to 17 in a single quarter!
For the Raptors, Carter scored 17 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, 15 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and 9 points in the first quarter. Carter scored 41 points after three quarters!
But after three quarters, the point difference was stretched to 25 points!
The Raptors can only call a timeout. Today, Carter, who is super god, watched himself score 41 points, but the team was 60 points behind 85 to 25. Except for him, the Raptors did not have a player who scored in double figures.

He made 30 of 16 shots in three quarters, scored 41 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. Carter's own performance was already perfect, but the team still fell behind by so many points.
