Chapter 1 Youth ends (page 12)

(New book uploaded, please collect it!)

In April 1996, tens of thousands of fans cheered wildly in the NCAA finals.

At the end of the second half, timeout.

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons lead the University of Kentucky Wildcats 77:73.

Dave Odom deployed defensive tactics excitedly, even if there were only a few bench players listening to his chatter, but no matter what, this was the closest he got to an NCAA championship.

Dave even felt a little unreal in his heart. The two core members of the team, Tim Duncan and Vince Carter, were actually students with excellent academic performance. This was unscientific.

"Idiot, my youth is coming to an end."

As Carter spoke, he stared directly at the cheerleaders who were raising their legs on the field. They were young, hot and radiant. Little did he know that he was already the father of two children, although he didn’t have a girlfriend yet.

Youth is about to end, and the next step is to enter the NBA and become a professional player. In the past year, Carter gave up invitations from universities in North Carolina and his hometown of Florida to join Wake Forest University in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

After a year of hard training, training my body, polishing my skills, and developing my shooting, I am ready to enter the NBA.

This year, under the leadership of him and Duncan, Wake Forest ran all the way through March Madness, defeating powerful opponents and finally reaching the NCAA Finals.

In the Final Four, Carter scored a game-winner and the team defeated Syracuse University by 1 point. In the finals, they faced the University of Kentucky Wildcats from the Southeastern Conference.

Kentucky, like Wake Forest from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the team's ace combination is also an inside-outside partnership. They have "fat head" Antoine Walker on the inside and "point-scoring master" Tony Delk on the outside. Strong.

If history develops on its original track and Kentucky wins the championship, Tony Delk will become this year's MOP, the Most Valuable Player of the Final Four. He also participated in this year's NBA draft and was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 16th overall pick, while inside player Antoine Walker was selected by the Celtics with the 6th overall pick.

Carter has changed the historical trajectory of his original self. He originally joined North Carolina and did not perform well in his freshman year. He has made a change and joined Wake Forest to join forces with Tim Duncan, hoping to win the NCAA championship in his freshman year.

If he successfully wins the NCAA championship, Carter will be ready to bring a successful conclusion to his college career.

However, Carter is not yet mature enough, and scouts' evaluation of him is far lower than Duncan's. Even if he participates in the NBA draft, his pick is unlikely to be too high.

But no matter what, it’s time to step into society and face new challenges. After all, the savings in hand are not much and cannot support high consumption. Pursuing a comfortable life costs money.

Hearing Carter speak, Duncan, who suffered from facial paralysis, slowly turned his head and looked at the big nose and mouth in front of him. As a psychology major, he replied with a very professional sentence, "Is this a broken love?"

"No, you don't have a certain stereotype. You have so many hookups that it makes me dazzled." Duncan added. He has been pursuing Wake Forest's school beauty, medical major Amy Urbano, but he hasn't succeeded yet.

"I'm going to participate in this year's draft." Carter rolled his eyes at Duncan and said less if he didn't know how to speak.

Carter's soul came from the rabbit, and he accidentally passed through the eagle sauce. The timing was a bit early and boring. There is no smart phone with a full screen of dancing, no convenient online shopping, and no variety of games, which makes him a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, basketball allows him to find his way.

In any case, the reputation of the four major points cannot be lost. In the previous life, Carter was only at the bottom of the four major positions, and he didn't have much hard honor to show for it. He didn't want to be like this.

Carter has top physical conditions and has changed after adapting to his body. Regardless of length or height, hardness or flexibility, physical strength or small skills, it is much stronger than its predecessor.

Enter the 1996 draft? This is the year when stars are concentrated in the NBA, comparable to the 1984 draft.

Hearing Carter's words, Duncan was stunned again and held back a sentence, "I promised my mother that I would get a diploma from college. And she has cancer and has gone to heaven. I can't lie to her."

Duncan's meaning is obvious: play for one more year, graduate from college, participate in the draft, and enter the NBA. Duncan also knew that Carter had also promised his mother that he would get a college diploma.

This is a small tacit understanding between them, a common ground.

I don’t know why Carter suddenly changed his mind.

Carter stood up, preparing to reappear, "Fortunately, my mother is healthy."

I had promised before that there would be no conflict between getting a diploma and playing basketball. The most important thing is that Carter's mother is in good health. Now she and her adoptive father are helping to take care of the two little babies. They entertain the babies every day and can no longer take care of Carter.

He feels that he is so smart that he can pursue himself while letting his parents take care of his children.

Duncan blinked his eyes, which seemed to make sense.

After the timeout, the Kentucky players continued to cooperate, and the tactical cooperation came out. Walker came out to pick and roll, and Duncan immediately followed. Walker could not find a chance.

The players ran continuously and played very patiently. Tony Decker used double screens to fire from the outside and hit an unreasonable three-pointer to bring the score as close as 1 point.

With the score close, Dave stood up and yelled at the defender, "Childres, your defense is like a piece of shit."

There are only the last 45 seconds left in the game, and there are two attack times. The NCAA offense lasts 35 seconds, which is different from the NBA's 24-second rule.

Carter took the initiative to hold the ball and lobbed it to Duncan. Duncan leaned back with the ball and suddenly turned around. This time Walker was ready and got stuck in his path. Duncan did not force the shot and gave it to him from outside.

The Forest player failed to make a shot, bounced out of the basket and grabbed a rebound.

Walker was stuck in position and failed to control the rebound well. He flicked his finger and shot it to the outside. Carter and Delk fought hard and used their wingspan advantage to grab the ball.

Reorganize the attack, take position, and observe the offensive and defensive situation.

There are only 24 seconds left. Dave was slightly relieved that the team still controlled the initiative.

Carter readjusted his rhythm, held the ball outside the three-point line, moved laterally, and passed it inward to Duncan. He passed down and helped the idiot take away the defender.

The last moment focuses on success rate. Today, Duncan has scored a double-double of 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. His performance is very good. Carter also performed amazingly, scoring 22 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.

Duncan leaned on Walker and once again chose to play hard. He circled with the ball and his body was squeezed by Walker's fat body. He forced a shot but failed to hit the ball. He was fighting for rebounds again.

"Not good!" Dave shouted in his heart as if he saw the shadow of failure in previous years. Duncan fought hand-to-hand inside, and even though he had the physical strength of a swimmer, he was still very tired.

When the basketball popped out of the basket, an elegant shadow flew up from the crowd, grabbing the ball in the air and controlling the backboard.

He bowed his body and dumped the basketball into the basket with both hands, which was shocking.

A series of actions are performed at high altitude, which is amazing. Especially at the end of the game, he had such physical fitness, which simply made his opponents collapse.

A loud "bang" aroused the emotions of the fans to the highest level, and countless people began to shout, "Carter..."

"Vince Carter..."
