Basketball UFO

(This is a big chapter. I have too much work and my body has not fully recovered. I will continue tomorrow. Please support!)

"The playoffs are a stage for stars. I believe Michael Jordan will continue his dominance." TNT host Ernie Johnson faced the audience with confidence, "Although the Bulls have encountered difficulties, their strength is still outstanding. Heroes."

In the media's evaluation, the Bulls are the most favored and have the highest odds of winning. Then there is the Rockets in the Western Conference. As long as the combination of the three veterans does not encounter physical problems, they can still solve their opponents.

In terms of odds, the Heat, Knicks, and Jazz are all at the forefront. The Nets are at the end.

"The biggest problem with the Nets is that they are too young. Vince Carter is only a rookie, and the players on the team do not have enough playoff experience." Except for Cassell, others have almost never played in the playoffs.

Rasheed is only a second-year rookie, and Williams has never played in the playoffs with the 76ers or Nets...Kendall Gill is better. He has played in a total of 12 playoff games with the Hornets and SuperSonics. They were all defeated with a score of 1:3, and they were also part of the loser league.

Others are lackluster. Even if they have played in the playoffs, they are still players who appear in garbage time.

Carter is leading the team to strengthen training. The annual personnel expenditure is about 70 US dollars. At the beginning, he purchased a bunch of training and body monitoring equipment, which is indeed very expensive.

Without financial support, there is really no way for players to organize a decent personal team.

"Vince, this playoffs, we must ensure that you are healthy." Mark Collins, as the captain of the team, proactively promised.

"There are no eyes on the court, and injuries are normal. But I will try my best to protect myself." He doesn't want to be stepped on, so he often lands on his non-powerful foot.

He shoots with his right hand, basically takes off with his left foot, and often moves in the air. It is common for him to land with his left and right feet. He is more accustomed to landing with his right foot first, just leaving the shooting spot.

"Health is the biggest prerequisite. Without good health, no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to realize it." Dick specializes in offense and is confident in Carter's offensive ability with the ball. He has already planned to give Carter special training in the offseason.

They have watched all of Carter's game videos, in addition to NBA game videos, as well as college and even high school game videos, and found that Carter has undergone miraculous changes since graduating from high school. During Wake Forest University, he showed extraordinary performance. of maturity.

Usually quiet, he suddenly broke out in the NCAA Final Four and helped the team win the NCAA championship. What's even more frightening is that Carter preserved his strength during college and slowly released it after entering the NBA.

"Guys, follow me from now on, we will become the best team." Carter invited the team to have dinner together.

Eating is mainly about communication. As for what to eat, no one cares. Communicating through buffets is a habit of Waiguoren.

The Nets are also conducting targeted training to increase the proportion of mid-range shots.

The Hawks are very strong inside, and the Nets must study it. In fact, the Hawks are equally strong on the outside. Steve Smith has All-Star strength, Mookie Blaylock leads the league in steals, and Tyrone Corbin is strong and dedicated to defense. He will follow Carter like crazy.

[The Hawks will enter the second round and meet the Bulls] ESPN clearly supports the Hawks.

[The Nets have reached the playoffs and have reached fifth place, which is their limit. The Hawks will let the Nets go home to fish.] Local newspapers in Atlanta are creating a frantic campaign.

Even the New York media is not optimistic about the Nets. [In any case, the Eagles are stronger and will definitely defeat the Nets if they perform normally. 】

[I hope Carter can perform well and win a game, otherwise the Nets will be swept]

The Hawks are very strong in the front and backcourt. Compared with the Nets players position by position, the Nets only have Carter as their strong point. Cassell also has an experience advantage, and other positions are not as good as the Eagles. Especially on the bench, Robert Pike has no advantage.

"Guys, even if the outside world is not optimistic about us, we must try our best and let everyone see." Calipari encouraged his teammates and blinded them, "This is the team you fight for, and it will not be weaker than the Atlanta Hawks. , we can definitely beat them.”

"You go ahead and fight, I'll take the responsibility." When Carter lectured, he said the most important sentence.

He is the boss of the team and takes the initiative to take responsibility for the team's performance.

"At the beginning of the season, no one believed that we would reach the playoffs. Now we are already a member of the playoffs. Now, no one believes that we can reach the second round. I believe that we will create history. Let all those who look down on the basketball team Everyone who uses the Internet will be slapped in the face." Carter's speech was very inflammatory, and the others were very excited to hear it, and their blood boiled.

"Vince, I will definitely knock Mutombo down." Rasheed opened his mouth and started firing.

Williams glanced with disgust, he didn't even dare to say that, Rasheed really dared to say it. Massenberg had a sad look on his face, no way, these people have raised the tone so high, wouldn’t it mean that he would be ravaged during garbage time?

No matter what, if Carter wants to win the game, the Nets players will follow. Stocks have been rising recently, and it’s still time to make a fortune.

Seeing your account balance increase every day gives you motivation to work.

The crowd dispersed, and Cassell privately chattered to Carter, "It's not easy to deal with the Hawks. They are better than the Nets. Only with your super performance can you beat the Hawks."

"As long as Dikembe Mutombo and Christian Laettner are restricted inside, I will find a way to win the game." Carter said not fast, thinking carefully about every word.

Seeing Kendall Gill walking over, Carter waved, "Kendall, the series is up to you!"

Kendall Gill came over and smiled, "I will guard Steve Smith, he is not the steal leader." Mookie Blaylock is the steal leader.

Kendall spoke and looked at Cassell, "Watch your hand with the ball. I haven't won a playoff series yet."

"Hey, don't worry, I have two championship rings." Cassel retorted, "Just don't embarrass me on the defensive end. I don't have time to help you defend."

Carter smiled as he watched the two teammates argue with each other. The atmosphere in the team was indeed quite good. Tell Kendall, "You can also compete for the steals title. I believe you will succeed next season."

"I will try my best, and I have experience in stealing." Kendall Gill moved his fingers, his middle finger and ring finger together, shaking up and down quickly, "This will make the opponent collapse."

"Gan, have you watched too many Japanese movies?" Cassel is a veteran, and he can see the meaning at a glance.

"If you win this series, I'll invite you to the Gold Club to enjoy it." Carter threw out the bait.

When players play basketball, apart from money, they just play. They don’t have so many ideals and beliefs. It’s all bullshit. Live a good life first, and then think about other things. Every great player only starts to think about greatness after he has no worries about food and clothing.

On April 4, the 24-1996 NBA playoffs officially began.

The games between the Nets against the Hawks, the Bulls against the Magic, and the Lakers against the Trail Blazers will not start until the 25th.

In Carter's first playoff game, he took the Nets to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks away from home, but they failed to win. Under the magical performance of Mutombo and Laettner, the Hawks won a good start in the playoffs.
