Basketball UFO

"Afei, I lost the NCAA quarterfinals and now I'm preparing for the draft." Tim Duncan failed to win another NCAA championship, even though he was selected to the All-American team for the second time.

At this moment, Duncan has calmed down and is ready to devote himself to draft preparations.

"Hey, the suspense now is which team with the worst record will you fall to? It's not that you are preparing for the draft, but that the team is preparing to select you." Carter joked that this guy could become the number one pick in any year.

Tim Duncan, the only No. 1997 pick in the draft, is about to officially declare for this year's draft.

Only Carter knows that Tim Duncan made no progress at all after arriving with the Spurs. His statistics were almost the same from his debut to his retirement.

Popovich used one player as the core, and it took him 19 years to win 5 championships and become a top coach in the NBA.

The Spurs are also an interesting team. They have selected three center players with a total of three No. 3 picks in team history.

"Admiral" David Robinson is still using it, but he was retired after playing 6 games this season. "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan, the first player in team history.

Then there is Wenbanyama, whose condition is unknown. At least Popovich is willing to bind him to a five-year contract.

Duncan was quiet for a while, "By the way, Wake Forest University wants to retire your and my jerseys. Do we have time to go over and watch the ceremony together?"

Duncan has graduated from college and has become an athlete who set Wake Forest University basketball records. He is worthy of having his jersey retired. Duncan's No. 21 will remain in the university for future generations to admire.

Carter only spent one year at Wake Forest University, but he became the winner of the first NCAA championship in team history and the first Final Four MOP. It is normal for the team to retire his No. 15 jersey.

Carter thought about it. He didn't retire last year, but he retired this year. The school was sincere to Duncan, but to him, it was just a passing interest. It was not interesting and he didn't want to go. "Forget it, I won't pass. After the game, I have to rest and prepare for the playoffs."

"I knew you wouldn't go, and I didn't want to go either. The next step was to become a professional player. I wonder if the NBA is as simple as you said."

"Last month, I won the Rookie of the Month for the fifth time, and Iverson, the No. 5 pick, has never won it once. It makes me feel no competition and no meaning at all." Carter slowly boasted, " Then, the last game I just beat the Chicago Bulls, I scored 36 points with Jordan defending me."

At first glance, it seems quite simple. For others, some bodies just can’t adapt, and some techniques just don’t have room for use.

Not to mention Carter, at least Duncan is fine.

He was stunned by Carter, "I knew you were going to say this. Please, is the NBA really that easy? Did you secretly practice more?"

At this moment, Duncan wants to know the future situation. He is looking forward to the NBA, hoping to play in a big city, make some money, and live a good life with Amy.

He has already captured the school belle of Wake Forest University, and Duncan can't wait to marry Amy after entering the league.

"It's very simple. After you arrive, I guess it should be 20+10, and then it will last for more than 10 years, and you will retire directly, that's it." Carter directly told the future situation, but Duncan wouldn't believe it anyway, it was just like a joke. "Look again, I didn't do well in college, but when I got to the NBA, I wasn't very prosperous."

In college, Carter averaged just over 14 points per game. In the NBA, he doubled that. He currently averages 28.1 points per game. He deserves the title of the strongest rookie in 1996.

Duncan nodded, "Next game against the Timberwolves? I heard their No. 21 is very powerful, so be careful."

"Don't worry, he is no match for you." Carter didn't care.

So hard!

Entering the stadium, Carter has finished warming up, and the Timberwolves fans are full of enthusiasm. As long as they reach the playoffs, there will be more fans.

Marbury stared at Carter not far away and muttered, "I will blow you up..."

Garnett was full of passion, dancing and constantly signaling to his teammates that he must beat the Nets today.

Carter stretched his muscles and joked with his teammates, "Guys, take care of your body and don't get injured. I don't want to not see you in the playoffs."

"Hehe, wouldn't it be a pity if I got injured without even playing a game when I met the Bulls?" Cassel's mentality was very good.

He already has two championship rings in his hand, both won during his rookie period, and has rich playoff experience. Now his personal ability and game judgment are improving, and he is willing to assist the new king on boarding.

The atmosphere was very lively. The Nets were not worried about the Timberwolves' combat effectiveness. The only one who was really under pressure was Rasheed Wallace.

He will face the rookies of the same class and defeat his opponents, or be defeated by the Wolf King.

"Control your emotions, Rashid, Sam and I will make you play good data." Carter quietly relieved Rashid.

Players from both sides were preparing to jump the ball. Garnett took the lead and kept mumbling, "Today we not only want to make them look good, but also play in style. No one has ever been able to leave easily at the Timberwolves' home court."

"Ouch..." Marbury roared. He really wanted to defeat Carter and face Cassell, "Sam, I will beat you first."

Cassell responded with a warm smile and taught Marbury, "Carter would never say such things. He would never regard himself as a lower-level player."

The gap in mentality is also a gap in strength.

Marbury was suddenly stunned and didn't know how to respond. He didn't come back to his senses until Tom Gugliotta made a successful jump ball and slapped the ball into Marbury's hands.

"Are you thinking about women? Fuck, hurry up." Garnett yelled at Marbury.

For the Timberwolves, Gugliotta serves as the center. Garnett is not tall enough to play the center position. He plays more power forward and often plays small forward, which has the advantage of mismatch.

Garnett's early style of play was similar to Durant's, using his height and skill to play out of position and making it difficult to defend.

Garnett caught the ball and beat Rasheed alone, still muttering, "Hey, Rasheed, you have the guts to guard me."

Then he dodged and took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll to make a successful jump shot.

He hammered his chest and roared angrily, feeling strong and happy. Timberwolves fans are happy, this is the tone they like.

Cassel held the ball, faced Marbury, controlled it steadily, and passed it to Kendall Gill. Facing Chris Kyle, Gill suddenly accelerated and broke through. Garnett immediately came to help defend.

It was this kind of moment that was important. Gill sent the ball and it was indeed in Carter's hands. Carter faced Dean, who was 208cm tall, and was not affected at all. He slung inside and landed in front of the basket.

Just now, Garnett went out to help defend and let go of Rasheed. Rasheed retreated and caught the ball without anyone guarding him.

When he got to the basket, Garnett was still behind him. Gugliotta was too late to help defend and watched Rasheed dunk with both hands.

"It's cool, this is basketball, I really like dunks." Rasheed opened his mouth and puffed at Garnett.

Garnett squirted at him a few times, but didn't start a fight and kept squirting.

One has a big mouth, the other has a loose mouth. He talks but does not use his hands. He is a very gentleman.

Both sides played at a fast pace and kept scoring, and the scene was very open. Carter didn't score much in the first quarter, but assisted Rashid to score two goals. Cassel also gave Rashid an assist.
