Basketball UFO

Chapter 40 Roller Coaster (Page 12)

(Second update today, tomorrow)

Olajuwon's footsteps are not as good as before, but his strength is still there. He easily takes the advantage of the jump ball. Maloney controls it, takes a step back, and avoids Cassel's steal.

Cassell failed to catch the ball, so he immediately went to the defensive position and continued to defend Maloney. Maloney is also a rookie, averaging 9 points and 3 assists per game. He is just a robot dribbling the ball through half the court.

His job is to protect the ball and give it to other players.

Olajuwon holds the ball and hits Rasheed in singles. Rasheed used his young body to barely withstand the first wave of attacks, and Olajuwon was given to Wesley.

Wesley is 213cm tall, which is a bit taller than Williams. He didn't carry his body in, so he used his height to take advantage of it. Under Williams' interference, he took a shot and failed to hit.

"You are old, now it is the world of young people." Williams immediately stimulated Wesley.

Kevin Wesley was the same rookie as Olajuwon, the 1984th overall pick in 11, and spent the first and middle part of his career with the Atlanta Hawks. He joined the Rockets for the dream of a championship. He also averaged 11.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, getting stronger with age.

Wesley silently went back to defense and didn't care about Williams' trash talk. Wesley has become an immortal, with a ridiculously long career. He was still playing games in the 06-07 season, and he officially retired at the end of the season. At that time, he was already 45 years old, and he would receive a pension directly after retirement.

Now he is immersed in the game and is only responsible for doing his own thing. As for trash talking, the team boss can trash talk if he likes, and others have nothing to say.

Williams' provocation was unsuccessful and he returned angrily, taking the initiative to shoulder the pressure inside. The Nets attacked and looked like they were going to give the inside, but Rasheed still found space and mobilized Olajuwon.

His biggest task today is to let Olajuwon consume his physical energy. The Rockets are all veterans, and their physical condition is not as good as that of the Nets players. As long as they can withstand the sap of the veterans, they will have a certain advantage in the fourth quarter.

Cassell saw the right moment and gave the ball to Carter.

Carter called Rasheed to the outside. He stood outside the three-point line and grabbed the ball with one hand.

The fans immediately cheered, and in the first attack, Carter had to perform a personal performance. Olajuwon was smart and quickly returned to the inside. He couldn't let Carter go crazy.

Tomjanovich looked at Carter, then at Drexler, and an unusual idea suddenly occurred to him. After the Rockets won two consecutive championships, their desire to win has been declining. In the past two years, they have recruited a large number of players who want to win the championship in order to rebuild their desire for the championship.

A championship heart cannot be underestimated.

Barkley was watching the game, cursing, "Old men are so soft, Carter is so hard." He wanted the championship, more than anyone else.

It's a pity that both Olajuwon and Drexler have won championships, and they don't seem to be in good health.

Sure enough, it was Drexler who took the initiative to defend Carter, with a reflective head and dazzling tactics, "Young man, the upward momentum is very strong."

Jordan could beat Carter, and so could he. When Drexler was with the Trail Blazers, he showed 84% talent. Then in the draft, the Trail Blazers gave up on selecting that guard and selected Sam Bowie with the second pick.

"There is no way, the front wave is not dead, the back wave has to be beaten hard." Carter did not move quickly, bent his knees slightly, prepared to break through, and started dribbling, once, twice.

Actively changing direction, stepping in and out of space, pulling in space, moving sideways, and pulling in again. The rhythm changes quickly and the center of gravity swings wildly.

Drexler, on the other hand, is experienced and his focus on defense has not changed much. He has already guessed Carter's direction. He took a step back, just in time to step in Carter's direction.

"Hey, it's not in vain that I studied Carter's footwork habits before the game." Drexler secretly chuckled.

Just as he was about to prepare his next defensive move, Carter suddenly changed his stance, stopped his forward momentum, and used his strong control ability to jump back.

Adjust your shooting posture in the air to easily hit the mid-range shot.

"Wow, Carter used a Jordan-level fadeaway jumper to deal with Drexler." The TNT commentator became excited, "As soon as the game started, Carter faced off against Drexler."

"It's going to be a tough game."

Drexler is the top shooting guard. He averages more than 22 points per game almost every season. He has a variety of tricks and is difficult to guard against.

Facing Carter, he had even judged Carter's rhythm and next move. Carter used his top physical fitness to change his moves and get the upper hand.

"Clyde, you have strong defensive predictions. How did you do that?" Carter asked Drexler directly for advice, leaving him a little confused.

Can you still communicate with your opponents on the court? Young people really don't play by common sense. He smells like that person, just as stinky and self-indulgent.

"After I tortured you, you will know why." Drexler took the initiative to ask for the ball. He also wanted to teach young players, especially the most popular Vince Carter.

Today's NBA is still dominated by players from the 84 draft. Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley, Stockton and others are the best, but there are also many players who challenge the kingship.

David Robinson, O'Neal, "Penny" Hardaway, and "Good Boy" Grant Hill, all of them can dominate one side, but they have yet to win a championship.

The same competitiveness also appeared in the 96 class. Carter was the first to emerge and lead the Nets to a new era. The season is not over yet, and they have won 20 more games than last season, locking in a playoff spot. And Iverson and others are also watching.

The league is in the stage of alternation between the old and the new, and new players are constantly attacking the old forces.

"Come on, veteran!" Carter took the initiative to greet Drexler, come and see how good he is.

He really wants to feel the power of these top shooting guards or small forwards. The NBA is a arena, and there are only a few players at the top of the arena. Others who want to rise to the top can only step on the "corpses" of famous veterans.

If you can't beat the old players, the new stars will not be convincing.

Drexler's temper has improved a lot in recent years. Faced with Carter's provocation, Drexler still couldn't help but take action, and his junior was rampant.

Continuously changing directions and adjusting the rhythm, Carter was almost shaken away, using his strong physical fitness to fight against his changes in rhythm.

Olajuwon stretched the space and allowed Drexler to perform. Unexpectedly, Drexler wanted to pass the ball, so Carter jumped up and shot it out of the air.

Fell into the hands of Kendall Gill.

All the fans in the audience went crazy, "Ah... Vince, take off Clyde!"

"Clyde was eliminated by Carter."

Drexler underestimated Carter's jumping ability and was very depressed. Then he quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "It's normal for young people to be impulsive. I think that's how I came here too."

Kendall Gill struggled with Mario Elie and passed the ball into the air before Olajuwon and others were in position.

Carter flew up from the air, stepped on the colorful clouds, grabbed the basketball, straightened his arms, and dunked violently.

The fans in the audience shouted again. This is the atmosphere at the Nets' home court.

"Carter, I love you!"

"Vince is so awesome, the violent dunk comes again."

"Perfect dunk, perfect tomahawk dunk, so exciting." The fans drooled and wanted to go up and lick it up.
