"Did you say this too early, who doesn't eat an apple for Christmas?" Barkley did not agree with O'Neal's conclusion, and he felt that Carter's outburst was just a flash in the pan.

"Hehe, that exaggerated board grabbing explosion, similar to a rookie in his twenties, I insist that Carter will explode today"

"This time I'm on Shaq's side, and he has a point, and I see determination in Carter's eyes."

"Then let's see, it's not like you haven't experienced the situation of playing late in your career, and you really got me on the bar?"

On the court, it was the Thunder's turn to attack, and Wei Shao passed the ball just after halftime. George received the ball in the right corner, he had already been hit three times in a row by Carter, and it was clear that he would choose to respond one-on-one next attack.

Zhang Feng is standing on the left sideline with Wei Shao at this time, he doesn't want to interfere in this single, he is not worried that meddling will cause Carter's face to be damaged, but hopes that Carter can defend this attack alone, so that Carter can regain his confidence.

Strong confidence is far more important than a strong body, otherwise Kwame Brown would not have made a name for himself as a parallel import.

George's offensive characteristics are very obvious, he likes to be simple, fast, and powerful to break through, such a breakthrough will be a huge test for the aging Carter, not to mention that the Thunder players have consciously opened up space for George.

George bent over and leaned forward to the right sharply, holding the ball in both hands to protect the left side of his waist, and took a step forward with his right foot to set up a standard forward breaking stance.

Carter, on the other hand, spread his feet back and forth and was ready to change direction at any time, his left hand was raised flat to delay George's breakthrough to the right, and his right hand was raised high to prevent George from shooting dry, while his whole body leaned forward slightly to prevent George from retreating sharply.

George's offensive moves are perfect, Carter's defensive moves are also very standard, and the result depends on who is faster, taller, and stronger!

"Paul George moved, he took a step to the right to accelerate, and Carter followed!"

"They came to the right low post, George changed direction early, Carter didn't get shaken down!"

"There's no breakaway, George steps back, he's going to shoot!"

"Oh, mygod, Carter actually flew into a big hat, and Zhang Feng took advantage of the chaos to grab the basketball"

"Zhang Feng's speed is too fast, even Westbrook can't catch up with him, wait, what do I see?"

"You read that right, George wanted to catch up with Zhang Feng's pegboard hat, but Zhang Feng looked back at the moon under the basket and passed the ball to the outside, Carter caught the ball at the three-point line, and Carter hit!".

O'Neal and Kenny were thrilled, and this time the block made a three-pointer in a row, which completely showed that Carter's previous performance was not a flash in the pan, and they were happy to see Carter prove his point. Barkley could only keep silent, who made him miscalculate?

The first quarter of the game was just 2 minutes into play, and Carter pressed the data of 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 risk, which is twice the average data of his first 9 games, and these data are not missing, but really spelled out, which is the most incredible place.

The cheers at the Golden One Arena made Paul George a little unhappy, his previous estimate was at most not to score, he didn't expect Carter to risk himself, this attack must save face. It's a pity that Wei Shao didn't pass the ball to him this time, but fought with Zhang Feng at the top of the three-point arc.

Wei Shao's offensive characteristics are one word - explosiveness, one step through the people to rush into the inside line and dunk is Wei Shao's strength. Zhang Feng was sure that Wei Shao would use this way this time, because it would be the most rewarding for Wei Shao to get past him in this way.

Wei Shao stretched his neck and quickly slapped the ball with his right hand, while Zhang Feng bent his knee slightly. As soon as Wei Shao accelerated, Zhang Feng retreated violently, resolutely not giving Wei Shao a chance to break through to the inner line.

The breakthrough was blocked, Wei Shao adjusted his footsteps and set up his left hand to open the way, but he couldn't push Zhang Feng at all, and in anger, he kicked back with his left foot, ready to force a shot.

"Be careful", before Wei Shao could shoot, he heard Paul George shout, followed by cheers from the fans at the scene.

Wei Shao looked down and realized that the ball was stealed, not Zhang Feng's steal, he looked back again and found that Carter was rushing to the backcourt with the ball.

was actually stolen by Carter! Wei Shao was angry, he thought it was because Paul George didn't keep an eye on Carter, and when he looked up after sulking, Carter had already rushed to the basket.

"Is Carter going to dunk?"

"Anthony and George are in front of him! This ball Carter is a bit impulsive."

‘OH，MYGOD！ The spacing is successful! ’

The referee's whistle made Zhang Feng stop, and he looked up at the big screen. The replay showed that when Carter dunked, Anthony and Paul George each had foul actions, Anthony was a little pushing, and Paul George was a little pulling. However, that didn't stop Carter from getting a strong dunk and a penalty.

Zhang Feng also saw a smile on Carter's face, which was a performance that he did not appear in the air and three points, and it seemed that this dunk made Carter find the feeling of returning to the top.

"Isn't it cool?" , Carter executed the free throw, and Zhang Feng stood behind him and asked.

"Cool!" Even though George and Anthony stood on the left and right, Carter did not hide it at all.

"Come back if it's cool!" , Zhang Feng didn't look at the faces of the Thunder players.

Taking advantage of the free throws, Thunder head coach Donovan made a change, replacing starting guard Robertson and sending Raymond Felton, which was clearly to speed up. The Thunder changed formation, and David also changed, he took Bogdan, replaced Frank Mason, and also played a two-gun combination in the backcourt to fight fast.

Carter hit an easy free throw, and Willis stepped under the basket and motioned for Adams to serve quickly.

After Wei Shao received the ball, he buried his head in frenzy, and Zhang Feng tried his best to maintain the same speed as him. When it came to the three-point line, Wei Shao was directly strong against Zhang Feng, and when the basketball flew out, Adams and the others had not yet stood under the basket.

Wei Shao hit the iron, and no one in the Thunder team was able to grab the board. The basketball was caught with both hands by Carter, who was waiting in the three-second zone, and he turned and threw it directly to the backcourt.

Carter's action seemed to be too smooth and excited, so he lost his mind and actually passed the ball to a place where there were no teammates.

But Zhang Feng didn't think so, because when Carter grabbed the rebound, he was already running towards the backcourt, and Carter's pass this time was to create better open shooting opportunities for him.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that if Carter hesitates, then the Thunder people will catch up with Zhang Feng, but instead throw it directly to the backcourt, so as to give full play to Zhang Feng's advantage of taking one step first.

The unguarded Zhang Feng hit an easy layup, and Donovan hurriedly beckoned the referee to a timeout.

The reason for the timeout was simple, he was stunned by Carter. The stats of 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal and 1 assist show that Carter is very versatile, but it also shows that the Thunder's offense and defense are full of problems, so they have to take a timeout.
