Basketball UFO

There are 5 seconds left in the game.

Key free throws, if two free throws are made, the team will lead by 3 points and have the initiative. If you lose a goal, the difference is only two points, and the opponent may win.

"Shh!"

The first free throw was a solid hit.

"When Carter was training, his free throw percentage was over 95%. Since the last game, he has never missed a free throw." Calipali was nervous, wondering whether Carter could continue to make free throws.

Teachers Williams and Tony came over and high-fived Carter, making the crucial second free throw.

Carter took a deep breath. This was, in a sense, the winning goal. He thought of the two buzzer-beating shots in the NCAA Final Four and the Finals, and suddenly he felt indomitable and his whole body relaxed.

Shoot the ball four times, follow the rhythm, and throw it out.

Uh-huh! Hit again.

The faces of the Magic players changed, and head coach Hill immediately used the last timeout. Prepare to serve at half court.

Calipari also quickly deployed defensive tactics and must guard the Magic's backcourt. The Magic, like the Nets, are dominated by backcourt players and have limited inside scoring capabilities.

Even though there were only the last 5 seconds left, all the fans were still sitting in their seats. Of course, many people had already stood up and shouted "defense" and "defense".

There is actually hope of winning against the powerful Magic team. How could Nets fans not support it. The team needs a new force like Carter, and Carter is needed to lead the Nets to sail.

The Magic's kickoff from the sidelines didn't go smoothly. The ball was thrown high and passed to Grant. He had no offensive ability on the outside and quickly gave it to Hardaway.

Facing Carter's defense, Hardaway originally thought that his cool running would be able to get rid of Cassel, but he did not expect a substitution.

But he still chose to shoot from outside the three-point line, and there was no time.

Carter flew up and blocked the shot. Hardaway was taller than him and had a better wingspan, so he failed to block the ball. His fingers spread open, sealing Hardaway's eyes.

Hardaway suddenly saw Carter's claws, put his arms back, and shot with difficulty, and the basketball flew out like an elf.

"Not good." After Hardaway took the ball, he felt unstable and stared at the direction of the ball. Carter felt it too, "Rebound."

Bang, the basketball hit the top of the basket, bounced twice, and fell down. The position under the basket has become fierce. Williams still has good physical fitness. He sticks his butt back, rushes high, and grabs the rebound.

Holding it in my arms is like holding a precious chamber pot. Williams has grabbed 12 rebounds today, and this is the 13th.

beep……

The electronic sound that ended the game also sounded.

Williams grabbed a key rebound, roared excitedly, and hugged Carter.

Carter hugged several teammates and walked towards Hardaway, "Pence, I want to know how you adjust your rhythm? The unpredictable rhythm, I like the way you play."

Hardaway was stunned for a moment, staring at Carter without answering. When he was on defense just now, he wanted to kill him, but now he asked sincerely. Hardaway couldn't understand Carter's thoughts.

"There's no bad blood between us, is there?" Carter added.

Hearing this, Hardaway smiled, he is very gentleman. After thinking about it, he gave an answer, "When attacking, don't let others judge the position of your center of gravity, especially when attacking from behind. I can change my center of gravity at any time between turning and half-turning."

"I'll try it tomorrow."

At this time, head coach Calipari came over and said in Carter's ear, "When we are leading, we can actually control the rhythm. The opponent is more anxious than us, and they will foul. If you continue to attack, you are actually giving up the initiative."

Carter was stunned. He was so excited about the game that he really didn't think much about it. He didn't even look at the time and only thought about scoring goals.

"I'll be more careful next time." Carter nodded, clearly showing his inexperience.

Calipari smiled slightly and said, "Forget about this, you have done a perfect job." Only at this time can Calipali feel satisfied as a head coach.

The Nets will play back-to-back games, and their opponent is the Magic.

The next game is at Amway Arena, home of the Magic.

Hardaway missed the buzzer beater, and Carter led the team to two consecutive victories. All the fans went crazy with joy, and many female fans spread their legs, "Ah, Carter's free throw hit my heart..."

"I decided to buy season tickets for the team. Carter's performance was too exciting and I couldn't miss any game."

The Nets players were extremely excited. They hadn't felt the taste of a winning streak for a long time. They only won 30 games last season and it was difficult to win consecutive games.

If there wasn't a game tomorrow, we would have made an appointment to have fun. The boss promised that as long as they win at home and there is no game the next day, he will take the team out to have fun.

After playing the Magic away from home, the team will have three consecutive home games against the Washington Bullets, Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets.

After Carter took a shower, he returned to the locker room wrapped in a bath towel. He opened the cabinet door and found more than a dozen small cards stuffed inside at some point. When he picked it up, he saw that they were all the phone numbers of the team's cheerleaders. Some even had the phone numbers of the team's cheerleaders. The photo was printed, wearing cool, sexy and hot clothes.

The team generally stipulates that players cannot have sex with cheerleaders, but the cheerleaders can't stand it and want to withstand the rain and dew and win a million dollars with their bellies.

Carter thought for a moment and threw the card into the trash can.

The cheerleaders are also employees of the team. They are mainly worried that their opponents will be injured and unable to dance on the field.

Williams had finished the interview and shouted excitedly, "Guys, thanks to Tokat, we won another game, and I'll treat everyone to pizza."

The players echoed that pizza must come with champagne. I have to catch a flight to Orlando later, and I have to fill my stomach after the game.

Jason Williams scored 12 points and 13 rebounds in this game. He performed well. Calipali asked him to participate in the post-game interview, which was naturally an opportunity to grow his reputation.

But the player with the best statistics is still Carter, who scored 33 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and incidentally made 3 turnovers.

When playing against strong teams, the turnover rate will also increase.

Sam Cassell scored 25 points and 5 assists. His contribution to the team is not in the number of assists, nor in occupying the ball. He can sort out the team's offensive and defensive rhythm. This is his most important contribution.

In this game, Cassel's footsteps obviously couldn't keep up with the agile Hardaway. At the last moment, Carter was defending Hardaway. So out of the idea of ​​protecting him, Calipari asked Jason Williams, who also performed very well, to participate in the post-game reporter interview.

Carter once again scored 30+, which has attracted the attention of countless local New York fans. Neither game was broadcast live in the United States, so it did not arouse discussion nationwide.

It doesn't matter, Adidas and Converse sent assists. They put out advertisements in Europe and the United States at the same time, focusing on bombing, and highlighting Carter's status.

The title of "super newcomer" spread like wildfire.

Iverson, the No. 20 pick, scored 15 points in two games in the first three games, and only scored 10 points against the Pistons; Camby, the No. 20 pick, scored and rebounded in single digits and struggled; Raheem, the No. overall pick, scored more than points. , but has not yet broken points, and his adaptability is not as good as Carter's.

This year's rookies have been overshadowed by Carter.

TNT immediately adjusted its broadcast plan and temporarily added a national live broadcast of the Nets. It's scheduled to be the Nets' home game against the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers are a playoff team and have more than 10 national live broadcasts every year. Now they have one more game thanks to Carter.
