Basketball UFO

"Hello Carter, nice to see you here." Carter was stopped by CCTV reporters as soon as he entered the venue. They had met before in the summer league, and Carter called them by name with ease.

Reporter Ren Jiangzhou was very excited.

"Is China broadcasting this game?"

"No, it's a live broadcast. In the front, it's explained by two teachers, Sun Weiping and Zhang Zhengping. Behind CCTV, it's explained by Han Qiaosheng and Xu Jicheng." Ren Jiangzhou happily introduced the two CCTV commentators to Carter.

Carter's proactive communication in the summer league left a good impression on everyone at CCTV. When you meet friendly foreign friends in a foreign country, you will naturally feel good.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. I hope you have a good time here." Carter greeted the two Ping teachers, "I believe you will explain it very well."

Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping were happy. As expected, Carter was very kind to the Chinese people and indeed had the demeanor of a star.

"Carter, can you say hello to the Chinese fans?" The reporter took the initiative to invite Carter, which was considered a short interview without an appointment.

"Hello, fans and friends of China!" Carter first said half a sentence in English, and then said "Hello" in Chinese, which made them happy.

Preparing for goodwill in advance and through CCTV's continuous live broadcast, Carter's popularity will definitely become higher and higher. No one will dislike the high influence and commercial value.

Make money, not shabby.

Now we are planning in advance. When Chinese players actually enter the NBA, especially after Yao Ming enters the NBA, the NBA's influence in China will rise to a new level, and huge benefits will follow.

At this moment, the signal was slowly received in the back of CCTV, and Carter's smile appeared on the big TV screen.

There are three people sitting on the rostrum in the back. Han Qiaosheng is the host and Xu Jicheng is the commentator. He is still working at Xinhua News Agency as a part-time commentator. He has not yet grown gray hair and looks very young.

Also sitting in the middle is Qian Chenghai, chairman of the Basketball Association and a star of the Chinese men's basketball team. The "little quickies" and "chasing butts and beating" tactics of the men's basketball team back then were created by their generation and are full of spirituality.

Xu Jicheng saw Carter's short interview and immediately explained, "Dear viewers, this is the seventh pick in this year's NBA draft. His name is Vince Carter, who plays for the Nets."

Han Qiaosheng has obviously done his homework, "Carter's characteristic is his lightning-fast dunks. There are many dunk tricks and they are very beautiful. This is only the first year and he has been selected as an All-Star. Among the rookie players, the players selected for this year's All-Stars are Just Carter and Iverson."

"Yes, Iverson is the first pick in this year's draft." Xu Jicheng answered. At this time, CCTV had not yet called the number one pick in the draft the top pick in the draft.

Some time ago, they even translated Kobe Bryant as Kobe Bryant. CCTV has set up a translation team to translate some common basketball terms, such as "alley-oop", which is translated as alley-oop.

After the opening scene, the camera turned to the rookie game. The live footage introduces the players participating in today's Rookie Challenge one by one, starting from the West and then introducing the players from the East.

The rules of this year’s rookie game are different from the current NBA games.

Each half is played for 2 15 minutes, each quarter is 15 minutes, and the game is played in 4 quarters. The foul was not punished, and he could continue to play on the court after 6 fouls.

If there is a draw at the end of the game, the ball will be jumped again in the center circle and the three-pointer will be considered a win, which is equivalent to the "golden ball" system in football. If a two-pointer is made, the game continues and the team that scores three first wins the game.

Auerbach made a few brief remarks on the sidelines, to the general idea that the team should play freely, and Iverson, the point guard, should pass the ball more and let everyone get into the rhythm of the game.

The starting five in the East are Dampier, Camby, Walker, Carter and Iverson.

The West has Knight, Raheem, Kobe, Maloney and Fisher. In comparison, the stars are not as good as those in the East.

The game officially begins.

Iverson controlled the basketball and passed it to Antoine Walker. Walker beat Kobe and reluctantly took the shot. Pop out of the box.

Several inside players grabbed rebounds. A figure burst out from the middle, Carter flew directly up, grabbed the basketball in the air, and then smashed it towards the basket.

A dunk off the board at the beginning!

It directly fills the competitive atmosphere.

The old god Auerbach was there, so he didn't care much about things on the field.

All he thinks about is the future of the Celtics. "It's a pity that Vince didn't come to the Celtics. If the team successfully gets the No. 15 pick this year and selects Tim Duncan, the Celtics will still be able to Can restore the glory of years."

After the Eastern Conference scored, Kobe immediately retaliated. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the paint, but was accidentally blocked. Camby made a contribution.

Carter's judgment was accurate, he grabbed the backcourt rebound immediately and advanced with the ball. However, his teammates were slow to follow, and the fast break opportunity was fleeting and they were forced to fight for position.

He called Camby to go inside and suddenly passed the ball. Next to the basket, Camby flew up and dunked with both arms after receiving the ball.

Beautiful alley-oop!

Iverson snorted. Carter didn't let him organize the ball just now. This was ignoring him as an All-Star point guard.

In the next round, Iverson controlled the basketball and didn't pass it to Carter. He broke into the paint and succeeded in a layup.

The defense is generally very weak at the beginning of the All-Star Game. The main thing is to have good-looking coordination. If the score is not widened, it will be overpowered at the last moment and fight for victory.

Kobe also opened his scoring account and cooperated frequently with his two teammates, and his personal score kept rising. I always wanted to challenge Carter for a duel, but Carter asked Walker to defend Kobe.

Carter is very calm. He does not need to exert his strength in the rookie game. His main role is to contribute a few beautiful dunks so that fans will remember him.

Outside the three-point line, Carter grabbed the ball with one hand, which immediately attracted cheers from the fans.

"What a cool move!"

"As expected of Vince Carter, every move is beautiful."

Carter couldn't come over, so Kobe took the initiative to defend. He muttered, "Vince, I'm going to beat you up in the rookie arena!"

Unexpectedly, Carter suddenly passed the ball and lobbed into the paint. After receiving the ball, Dampier dunked directly with both hands.

"Good ball, another alley-oop, Vince Carter's pass is very satisfying." Zhang Weiping was very excited when he saw the ball, "No. 15 Vince Carter, a Nets player, was also selected as this year's All-Star. Main race.”

Kobe passed it to Lorenzen Wright, but unfortunately Wright didn't dunk, and Marcus Camby blocked the shot under the basket.

Carter grabbed the ball, advanced with the ball, and passed it to Ray Allen who followed. Ray Allen knew what Carter was thinking and made a beautiful pass, throwing it directly to the basket.

Carter has already reached the basket, jumped up, caught the ball, and simply dunking is meaningless.

He even turned around 360 degrees and hung the buckle with one arm, which once again aroused the cheers of the audience.

He came down coolly and pointed at Ray Allen, "Great pass!"

"Great dunk." Ray Allen responded with a smile. Unexpectedly, playing with Carter is quite interesting. Every time he passes and receives the ball, he is very comfortable, which shows that his skills are not weak.

Auerbach looked at the time, replaced Carter, and played 14 minutes at halftime, which was about enough. Other players also need to be allocated some playing time.
