Basketball UFO

In a game broadcast live across the United States, the Rockets challenged the Nets away from home.

The first half was like a roller coaster. The Nets led in the first quarter, but fell behind the Rockets in the second quarter.

The Rockets veteran came out very vigorously, with Olajuwon as the axis, combining inside and outside, greatly increasing the offensive deterrence, and directly overtaking the score.

At halftime, Calipari got mad and scolded the players. Especially inside, with their physical and speed advantages, they are unable to limit the performance of Olajuwon and Kevin Wesley.

Rasheed was very depressed and smashed the table, "In the second half, I will kill Olajuwon."

Williams twisted his shoulder, feeling fine.

Carter stared at them without saying anything. His eyes made the two teammates feel the pressure, and then he said, "When you are not sure, just give me the ball."

"Brothers, the Rockets are not an invincible team. We have competed with them this season and lost a little bit. Now we are improving and their lineup is not complete. Will we continue to lose to them?"

Carter glanced at everyone, cheering me up. The season is coming to an end, and all the players are adjusting to their condition, sprinting and performing poorly.

The Nets' ranking in the Eastern Conference is ideal, which was unexpected at the beginning of the season. Their goal at the beginning of the season was just to reach the playoffs. Unexpectedly, Carter's ability to lead the team was beyond imagination, and they have been ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. If they persist Ranking, we can still watch a few more games in the playoffs.

Carter really wants to win this game, but it's not an impossible task. Although the Rockets are strong, their personnel is seriously aging. Moreover, they had a fierce battle yesterday, back-to-back games, and their physical fitness will definitely not be dominant today.

The Rockets and Bulls are the two oldest teams in the league. The Bulls also have a young team of Jordan and Pippen. The Rockets are all old guys, and their physical fitness is much worse. Even the bench is full of veterans. Freshman Matt Maloney is still an undrafted player.

After Carter finished his lecture, Calipali took over the conversation again, "We must hold on in the third quarter. Our opponents' physical fitness cannot support the whole game. They will attack at a slow pace and our speed will increase. By the fourth quarter, we have the physical fitness The advantage will definitely defeat the opponent.”

"Jason, you have performed very well recently. Control the rebounds well and we will win the interior defense." Calipali encouraged Williams. In recent games, his performance on the defensive end has been satisfactory.

He rebounds a lot and well, and many of them are offensive rebounds, which can virtually increase several offensive opportunities in every game.

Rashid fell silent and no one called him by name, proving that his performance was average.It's understandable that a second-year rookie would really have difficulty supporting a veteran like Olajuwon. There is a huge gap in strength and experience. The only thing that can fight may be his three-pointer threat.

Cassel wiped his sweat and looked at Carter with bright eyes.

Carter seemed to be in a daze or deep in thought.

At the end of the season, the Nets have played all the teams, and the Eastern Conference teams have played more than once. The mid-term is the toughest, with the most games, but the team can still endure it.Sporadic injuries did not affect the team's performance.

As long as Carter stays healthy, the team will be competitive. The remaining ten games are a battle for playoff rankings. Judging from the current ranking, the Nets have hope of catching up with the Hawks in front, but it is relatively difficult. They are 2.5 games behind. The Pistons are close behind, only half a game behind.

The Nets have taken shape and are capable of fighting as long as they are not facing the Bulls or a team with top insiders. Without him, Carter is just on the team. The backcourt combination of Carter, Cassell, and Kendall Gill is quite competitive across the league.

The Bulls are definitely No. 1. How to rank the others is hard to define. The Nets' current foundation is the backcourt.

"I have seen the strongest backcourt players these days this season." Carter's head was racing, thinking about the way forward.

His first season was mainly about adapting to the rhythm of the NBA.Relying on adequate preparation, he almost achieved a seamless transition. Even if he encountered a bottleneck in the middle of the season, it was covered up by Rashid's trade and the team's record fluctuated. Not many people noticed Carter's struggle, but instead thought that Carter took care of the new players. , changed the way of playing.

Carter has solved the bottleneck period and his strength has quietly increased. If the team continues to strengthen, it will have stronger competitiveness.

"I want to be on top!" Carter looked at his partners in the locker room. If they were all good players at their peak, they have not yet reached their peak.

I want to eat fish.

Carter has basically figured out the league's current backcourt structure and found a way forward.

Michael Jordan is the top one, and he has the ability to dominate the league. He can't be guarded at all. He is also super strong on the defensive end, with no blind spots in 360 degrees. The only thing that can make him fail may be time.

Pippen leads the team independently, and the team has playoff strength. With Jordan, it is a championship candidate. This is a top team and a historical backcourt combination.

Drexler encountered him for the second time this season. He obviously felt that he was at the end of his strength. It was really impossible for him to perform explosively. He played steadily and relied on experience. He should not be underestimated, but don't worry too much.

Grant Hill often appears at the power forward position. He plays a "no three, no four" style of play. If he can achieve such results, he already has outstanding strength. His gentle personality prevents him from becoming the team's most trustworthy leader.

The NBA is a arena, not a gentleman's game. What's more, the gentleman also plays crazy in private, and there are often woodpecker plots in the castle.

"Penny" Hardaway led the team independently, began to suffer injuries, and never really reached his peak. No one knew where his peak was, and his career was left blank for people to imagine.

But I guess it can only be left in my imagination. It is difficult for him to support the team independently, and he is destined to be unable to fully realize his talents. Tough battles rely heavily on stars. Hardaway's advantage lies in misplacement, not strong play.

"Little Bug" Tim Hardaway has superb breakthrough ability. His cooperation with Mourning gives the Heat the capital to compete for the championship and ranks second in the Eastern Conference this season.

Glen Rice of the Hornets has outstanding strength, ambition and ability. Unfortunately, the team does not support him enough, and his personal personality is not suitable to become a dominant player.

The Kings' "Rock" Richmond is at his peak, averaging 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He has strong muscles and skin and is hard to beat. With that physical quality, Carter may not be able to win in a collision, but the opponent's movement speed is not fast enough and his technique is a bit stiff.

The Warriors' "God's Left Hand" Chris Mullin's top-notch running and mid-to-long-range jump shooting abilities make him a great pitcher. But the Warriors have a lot of talented players, but they just can't get it together.

There is also the Pacers' Reggie Miller, who is more often used as a pitcher. The Pacers are building a team around him, and the team is not very competitive yet.

As for the others, each has its own weaknesses. From a certain perspective, the league is in an era of slack.

Michael Jordan is coming to an end, and others are not yet strong enough to take the throne.

At this time, the 96 generation turned out, and a large number of high-quality players emerged. In the next 10 years, they will become the guarantee of NBA league ratings, and Carter has become the first player to emerge.

The same goes for Iverson. He and Carter were selected as All-Stars in their rookie seasons and became famous early.
