Chapter 302 Carter's Defensive Attitude
At 8:30 in the morning, when the interview and the final warm-up were over, the match between the two sides officially started at the Barclays Center Arena.

The Grizzlies sent a regular starting lineup, Yang Zhan, Roy, Battier, Gasol, Chandler.

The lineup sent by the Nets is, point guard: Kidd, shooting guard: Carter, small forward: Richard Jefferson, power forward: Mickey Moore, center: Nenad Kostic.

Chandler came to the midfield to jump the ball and got the first chance for the Grizzlies.

Yang Zhan came to the front court with the ball. Needless to say, his defensive ability of "basically not attacking" is basically useless to single out the opponent.

So Gasol was asked to perform a pick-and-roll in the middle, and at the same time Chandler also came up to perform a pick-and-roll for Roy on the left.

The latter used the cover to ask Carter to drop, Chandler made an inside cut, Yang Zhan took a step sideways, and gave the ball to Roy.

Carter didn't go to defend Chandler, and at this time, there was a problem with the opponent's defense, which caused the 45nd and [-]th positions on the field to chase Brandon Roy at a [-]° angle.

Although the latter's organizational ability is not as good as that of Yang Zhan and Gasol, it is not to say that there is no such thing as Chandler, who is making an empty cut.

Moore followed up in the pick-and-roll to prevent Yang Zhan, so now the opponent's basket is empty, and Chandler easily dunks.

In turn, the Nets attacked, and Kidd gave the ball to Carter after halftime. After all, the opponent was the team's first offensive point.

Kostic pulls to the outside pick-and-roll, and Moore also goes to the side to cover for Jefferson, which completely gives up the opponent's inside space.

The main purpose of the opposing coach's arrangement is to create opportunities for Carter's singles.

You must know that although the opponent is famous for dunks, it does not mean that they only have bounces and dunks. Breakthrough jump shots are also top in the league.

This season's scoring average ranks sixth, and this alone can explain everything. Without that strength, he can't get out of it.

Facing Roy's defense at 45° on the right, Carter dribbled the ball continuously to find the rhythm, and then suddenly accelerated to break through to the left.

At this time, Jefferson, who used the pick-and-roll, had an opportunity on the outside.

But Carter's first choice on the field is basically to come by himself, so he didn't pass the ball after passing Roy.

When he faced Chandler's defense, he took advantage of the momentum and leaned against him.

Immediately afterwards, he spun 360 degrees in the air, bypassing the defender like a top, and glanced at the basket before picking the basket.

Yang Zhan has also done this action before, but it was under the condition of cheating, and because of this, he knows how difficult it is.

If there is no super talent for jumping and staying in the air, then no one can do it. Of course, it is difficult to guarantee the hit rate for such a ball.

But Carter obviously felt good. After avoiding Chandler's interference, the basketball hit the basket.

brush!Hit!

The home fans applauded and cheered for the goal, and the big screen also showed a slow motion playback. Carter heated up the field from the very beginning.

"The jumping and staying in the air are really great, and there is absolutely no running in the top five goals." Domestic commentator Zhang Lili said.

"And some people in the league have played this kind of action, but they are not as stretched as Carter." Domestic commentator Yu Jia said.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan gave the ball to Gasol in the high position on the left. Regardless of the two-tower lineup on the opponent, these two points are the weakest.

Chandler went out to pick and roll Roy, and now there is no one at the basket, but Gasol hasn't reached the inside yet.

Roy threw off Kostic after switching defenses, and seeing the opponent cut in without the ball, Gasol passed the ball over.

The latter quickly got the ball to the basket and threw the ball before Moore turned around to cover the defense.

brush!Hit!

The Nets attacked, and Kidd still gave the ball to Carter, who may have been happy with the ball just now.

So before his teammates opened up space for him, Carter directly started a breakthrough from the right in the face of Roy's defense.

When he entered the three-point line, stepped back and returned to the original position, and then made a quick three-point shot, the difficulty of the shot was very low, so Roy's interference was naturally very good.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Chandler protected the backcourt rebounds, Yang Zhan caught the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and still dropped the ball to Gasol.

At this time, Roy used the screen to throw away the opposing Carter, cut in without the ball and then easily scored with an empty basket.

In fact, Carter's defense has always been questioned, even Jordan has mentioned this in public.

In fact, this is indeed the case, but this is not because of Carter's lack of ability, but because of the attitude of the other party.

He is the same as Carmelo Anthony, fully capable of becoming a top offensive and defensive player in the league.

Of course, he was not like this at the beginning, and the culprit was naturally the continuous black feet of the Spurs Bowen.

Although Carter didn't say it himself, he was definitely affected psychologically. At least the physical confrontation was not as much as before.

In turn, the Nets attacked, and Kidd gave the ball to Jefferson after the pick-and-roll. The latter's technical characteristics are similar to Carter's.

But the embarrassing thing is that his personal ability is completely suppressed by the opponent, so Jefferson can only become the team's second scorer.

When he got rid of Battier who was facing him, he quickly broke through to the paint area, but the opponent's two towers didn't shoot, so the inside line was naturally clustered.

Even though Jefferson's physical fitness is excellent, he is not sure to complete the finish in the paint, so he chose to make an emergency stop jump shot.

brush!Hit!

The Grizzlies were attacking, and Kidd really deserved to be the coach on the field. Carter's problem was discovered after only two rounds.

Although I couldn't hear what the other party said, when Yang Zhan came to the front court.

It became Jefferson to defend Roy, and Carter was to defend Battier, who had little ability to hold the ball.

Kidd's adjustment was indeed immediate, but the result didn't change much, because the Grizzlies themselves didn't want to hit Carter before the game.

In other words, it was a complete surprise. Seeing that Roy couldn't get rid of Jefferson, Yang Zhan gave the ball to Gasol.

Mickey Moore, who is facing him, is an undrafted player who entered the league in 98. He played for the Sonics last season and joined the Nets in free agency this summer.

Due to the increase in playing time, the data has also increased, but the personal ability is still the same, especially the defense is more of a problem.

Ever since Gasol was promoted to the power forward position, there are really not many people who can match his height, and Moore is one of them today.

So the latter chose to attack the basket with the ball in the high position, raise the ball over his head and then lower it.

At this time, Gasol swayed the ball to the left again, and then quickly broke through to the right, leading Moore by half a body in an instant.

When he was approaching the basket, he suddenly slowed down and shot a small throw.

brush!Hit!
