Chapter 127 Carter is ferocious
The 27-year-old Carter is at the peak of his career. Although he is still among the top stars in the league, the serious injuries he suffered last season have dragged down his state, and he is no longer as fierce as the 23-year-old.

But as long as he is in Toronto for a day, he is the darling of Toronto, the demigod on the court, and the unquestionable core of the Raptors.

Compared with his historic dunks, what is overlooked is the long-range shooting ability that Carter has developed since his rookie season.

"Carter's three-pointer is very accurate." This is the evaluation of Carter's former teammate, Michael Curry, who is now in the Heat. "If he wants to score, defense will become very difficult."

"But the Raptors' record is not good now. They are no longer the strong team in the Eastern Conference two or three years ago. They are much worse than me." Yang Di was a little unconvinced, thinking that no matter how good Carter is, he is only one person.

Michael Curry smiled without saying a word, raised his head silently, and stared at the field.

The DJ at the scene first whispered the names of the visiting Raptors starters, and the Heat fans applauded sparsely. Only when the last Carter came out, the applause and cheers suddenly increased to a higher level.

The fans are still very polite. Basically, if it is not a deadly enemy, they will give the players some welcome applause before the game.

And when the home team, that is, the Heat, entered the arena, the DJ's voice not only became louder, but also elongated and changed in various ways.

"The first one to play is - Dwyane - Wade, let us welcome this super rookie from Marquette University, who is 18 feet [-] inches tall!" The audience stood up and applauded, Wade is already Miami's new favorite, he averaged more than [-] points per game, surpassing Lamar Odom and Eddie Jones, and competed with Anthony and James in the rookie rankings.

Then came Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, Brian Grant and, last but not least, the most expensive head star, Lamar Odom.

For the Raptors, the starters are Vince Carter, Donyell Marshall, Chris Peterson, Milt Peracio and Chris Bosh.

For the opening jump ball, Bosh's jumping ability was obviously stronger, and he got the basketball before Grant.

The 1-foot-91 point guard Milt Peracio dribbled the ball across half court, and then Carter opened his hand for the ball at 45 degrees from the right three-point line.

Carter got the ball, and defending Carter was Eddie Jones, who was about the same height as him. Eddie Jones raised one hand, and put the other hand on Carter's waist to feel Carter's next move. Variety.Carter has a three-threat ball-holding method. He takes a tentative step with his right foot, then retracts, and then steps out with his right foot. A big step is a breakthrough to the right!
His breakthrough is very rhythmic. The explosive power of the first step is not as terrifying as McGrady and Wade, but the speed is also very fast. Eddie Jones didn't care, and lost half of his body. -Butler also let go of the defender, helping Eddie Jones double-team Carter.

Carter is not reckless, a small transfer to the free throw line to make up for Chris Bosh, Bosh catches again, and Chris Peterson in the bottom corner has an open shot.

Off the field, Yang Di tilted his head and looked.

"Dang!" The shot was missed, and the rebound was taken by Grant.

……

"Watching the Raptors play is still very organized!" Yang Di and Michael Curry panicked out of boredom and chatted.

Michael Curry asked the staff for two glasses of water, and then handed Yang Di one, "When I was in the Raptors, I often defended Vince in team training. I feel that the Raptors and Carter seem to be A bit out of touch, Carter is still fierce, but the relationship between teammates is very delicate, the team's record is not good, the atmosphere is even worse."

"It's like this~" Yang Di took a sip of water, knowing it in his heart, "If a superstar like Carter can't make the playoffs, he is like a clown wearing a hat. Players with fighting spirit will find it hard to accept."

"Who isn't? Although many people regard the game as a job, the top group of people must be paranoid on the court." Michael Curry thinks it is true. After that, Carter took a wait-and-see attitude. Can the relationship be normal?
The chat between the two was flying, and the rhythm on the court was also very fast.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Heat led the Raptors by 15 points 11 to 4, and then entered the first official mandatory timeout.

The timeout is over, and both sides return to the court.

Carter broke out suddenly, and the state and touch came without warning.

He first hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and then, when defending the Heat's offense successfully, he completed a bottom-line breakthrough and scored 2 points with a basket.

16 to 15, the Raptors instantly overtook the Heat.

Stan Van Gundy "twitched" in his heart, wondering whether to call a timeout or something.

Only then did he hesitate slightly, and the Raptors attacked again and succeeded again. Carter rushed to point guard Milt, who hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and the Raptors played a strong 8-0 climax.

Stan Van Gundy regretted it so much that he stood up from the bench in an instant as if he was stabbed by a needle in his buttocks, and asked the referee on duty for a timeout.

"duo~"

The fans didn't expect that the time interval between the second timeout and the first timeout would be so close. If I had known earlier, I might as well have taken the opportunity to go to the bathroom.

Carter came to the state suddenly, very fierce, full of threat on the offensive end.

Yang Di saw that Carter's long-range shots were really accurate. He hit two of the three shots in the first quarter. His shooting arc was not the standard line, but slightly higher, and the speed of his shots was not the fastest, but it was slightly Leaning back, coupled with the high height of the take-off shot, it is actually difficult for defensive players to absolutely interfere with him.

"Carter made a breakthrough, Eddie Jones was knocked out of shape by Carter, made an emergency stop at mid-range, stepped back and shot, and made a hit!"

The American Airlines Arena let out a sigh, and immediately booed the audience. No matter how good-looking Carter's shot was, he was still an enemy, and the fans would never resume the friendship they had before the game.

Consecutive missed shots led to the score falling behind. Wade was a little anxious. He changed direction in front of the frontcourt and forcibly broke through Milt Peracio. A flash of courage flashed in his eyes, he slammed the ball on the floor, and with a stronger impact, pushed away Marshall, who is an inside player.

"Be careful!" Yang Di, who was on the bench, suddenly saw the figure of No. 15 rushing in, and couldn't help but exclaimed for Wade.

After Wade squeezed Marshall away, he was overjoyed. He was just about to raise the ball with one hand and throw it, but he felt a sudden wind rising from the side.

"what?"

Before he had time to react, Carter's big hand had already pressed on his exposed basketball, and then the side force exploded, fanning the ball out of the baseline.

The body collided with Wade, and both of them fell to the floor, making two loud "boom" and "boom".

Wade's face was a little red, and he was annoyed.

Carter stood up expressionlessly, without unnecessary celebrations, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

The fans at the scene were stunned. Carter's take-off height was amazing.

"Didn't he say he doesn't defend much?" Yang Di turned to ask Michael Curry, with a questioning meaning. After Wade was capped in such a humiliating manner, the fire in his chest seemed to be ignited , clenched his fists, his eyes were fierce.

Michael Curry blushed and hesitated: "I didn't say he didn't defend. Maybe he's in a bad mood today?"

"I'm in a bad mood!"

Stan Van Gundy was also a little anxious. He glanced at the time. More than seven minutes had passed in the first quarter. Now the Heat have problems on the defensive and offensive ends, and the players are in average condition. If Carter is allowed to explode like this , The Heat are about to collapse.The next step is definitely to double-team Carter with the ball, but double-teaming means a faster rotational defense, with Grant's footsteps and assisting defense...

He suddenly looked at Yang Di.

"Yang, how are you preparing today?"

Yang Di was taken aback. It was the first time Van Gundy asked him such a question. He immediately responded, nodded and said, "It's already ready."

"Okay, get ready to play and replace Brian Grant."
