Chapter 283: Forward, Forward, Forward
After the end of Christmas, the Rockets flew Washington again, and ravaged the Wizards again on the Wizards' home court, not to say, Richmond, Howard, Murray is really not enough for the Rockets to see, after the end of the third quarter of the game, the score between the two sides is already more than 20 points apart, at the end of the game, 112:93, the Rockets easily defeated the opponent on the road.
After the game, the Rockets once again ushered in three home games, against the Raptors, against the Clippers, against the Supersonics, I don't know if the Rockets can continue their pace of victory.
However, in the past few days, the players of the Rockets have looked at their boss Tiger? Jones is all smiling like that, and the Rockets players don't know what's going on yet.
Olajuwon asked Lao Tang privately, and Lao Tang said with a smile: "Our boss is like a father." β
Looking at Olajuwon's surprised expression, Lao Tang continued: "What are you surprised about, isn't this normal. β
Olajuwon shook his head, looked around and saw that no one was around, and whispered: "Is there something wrong with our boss, this has been living with his fiancΓ©e for so long, why do you have children now, if it were someone else, I guess the children can run all over the ground now." β
Lao Tang listened to this, his face twitched, and after listening to Olajuwon's words, Lao Tang looked at the lack of people around, and said in a low voice: "Hakim, don't let the boss hear what you kid says, otherwise you will die a miserable death." β
Olajuwon knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "Rudy, don't worry, in this case, how can I let the boss know." β
Just as the two of them were talking sneakily, Tiger's voice came, and Tiger was heard shouting: "Rudy, Hakim, what are you doing, everyone is waiting for you to have a tactical meeting,"
The two of them were shocked when they heard this, looked at each other, and thought at the same time: Did the boss hear all the words just now.
However, the two looked back and saw that Tiger was still at least 10 meters away from them, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, okay, okay. Not to mention the little secret between the two, the Rockets welcomed the Toronto Raptors led by Carter on their home court, after several years of recuperation, the current Raptors under the leadership of Butch Carter, the Raptors have gradually embarked on the road of becoming stronger, under the leadership of a group of talented young people, the Raptors have some taste of the strong.
Carter, known as a half-man and half-god, has begun to show his edge, and now averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game has made him the most dangerous player in the league.
And his cousin Maddy, also gradually realized his talent, this player who was criticized by many people in later generations, now is just emerging time, now he is still the one who is extremely tough defensively, all the dirty work can do all the dirty work Maddy, now averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, has made him the second man of the Raptors.
Christie, still the marksman, not the old man who couldn't run later, Antonio? Davis and Oakley, two inside giants, are defending the Raptors' basket.
However, these people are still not enough in front of the Rockets, the Rockets' strong combat effectiveness has been reflected in this game, Carter hit his head on the defensive iron wall of Horry, and his head was bled out, and under Garnett's assistance, Carter was given four big hats, and scored 18 points in the whole game, but there were 7 turnovers.
Maddie and Ray? Aaron fought a close fight, however, he also changed the situation of the whole game, and in addition to the Ray who fought with him? Aaron is also so easy to deal with.
And the Raptors' interior line was also suppressed, Oakley and Antonio? Davis is a defensive interior on the inside, and he is a lot worse in terms of offensive power.
The gap in strength brings a huge suppression of the situation on the field, and at the end of the game, the huge gap in the scores of the two sides is the truest embodiment of the strength of the two sides.
119:96 The Rockets used the score gap to describe the difference in strength between the two sides in detail.
At this time, the Rockets have won 9 in a row, and after experiencing a miraculous reversal by Iverson, the Rockets have quietly won 9 in a row.
Tiger smiled with satisfaction as he watched his players on the sidelines as they slaughtered two of the league's most powerful attackers.
Because, he knows what these two people in the current Raptors team will achieve in the future.
Looking at Carter's young cheeks, Tiger remembered Carter's haggard and old cheeks in later generations. Thinking back to what Carter said about him and what others said about him, Tiger was very meaningful, and some of the classics were Tiger who had gone through two lives, and he also remembered it very clearly.
"I worked hard to get everything I had today, I didn't have Jordan's temperament, it was. But so what, I had a smile on my face. The same can get 35 points on you. I'm not like MJ, I can't always pull a face, I'm who I am, I can't change it. Sooner or later, most people will accept this, and I'm Vince. Carter. βββ
On how he compares to Jordan the Flyer: "Streetball players love to see NBA players on the court, and they'll show themselves in front of you. It doesn't matter who you are, whether you're going to play 40, 48 minutes or more, they'll do everything they can to defend you. I think playing against these guys is the best way to test myself and one of the ways I can be a good player. βββ
On streetball players and streetball, "Too many people take this game too seriously, they ignore my all-round ability. Slamming isn't my only characteristic, I'm not just a dunker. My responsibility is to help the team improve and I believe my actual abilities are not as flashy as the media portrays them to be. βββ
Every time there is a slam dunk contest, Carter is asked if he will participate in the game.
"It's not uncommon to see kids from single-parent families moving to school with big and small bags, but Carter doesn't. He is a normal student, and his mentality is normal and peaceful. Vince. Carter is the friendliest of all the people you meet. He is attentive, considerate and sensitive. His greatest strength is often his greatest weakness, because he always wants to please everyone. βββ
About Carter's person, high school coach Charles. Brinkhoff recalls Davens? Carter: "Carter plays beautifully, he has the ability to jump like other players don't have, and he can slide freely between the players. He can glide between his opponents and perform specific moves while avoiding a collision. βββ
Regarding Carter's style of play, Heat star Dwyane? "His performance has made basketball an exciting sport again," Wade said. βββ
About Carter's fabulous performance in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, NBA commissioner David? "There's no doubt that Vince has a choice, I think we all recognize that, but we all hope he can give this new team a chance," Stern said. I really want him to be part of our team. If I deliberately do something that is only good for Vince and not good for the team, I think he will lose his respect for me. I have to think about the team, I've seen the video of him playing, I've played against him, I know he's a very team player and I don't want to pander to him and lose his respect for me. βββ
In 2004, regarding Carter's transfer rumors, head coach Mitchell said, "The word 'outstanding' doesn't carry enough weight to describe him." Carter alone carried the burden of our entire team and played really well. It's all incredible! βββ
After Carter scored a career-high 51 points, head coach Frank commented that I was a little surprised that they booed Carter, that it had been so long since he was here that everything had changed a lot. I don't think he's that kind of person, and I think Carter was shocked to hear the boos. On February 15, 2007, Carter returned to Toronto to challenge his old master but was met with boos, and the new core of the Raptors, Bosh, was quite sympathetic to Carter's plight on these many classic scenes and quotations in later generations, so that Tiger at this time was very sympathetic to this guy who could fly the most after Jordan.
However, Carter is better, and the heaviest resentment is still Maddie, at this time, Tiger looks at the current Raptors who are actively defending, and the kid who can throw himself off the court for a ball, Tiger thought about why this kid couldn't play so violently when he was in the Rockets.
If the rocket plays so vigorously, with the configuration of the rocket later, at least he can swing around in the finals and come back, whether he can win the championship or not, Maddie and Da Yao's evaluation will be much higher in later generations.
Tiger shook his head on the sidelines, discarding some of the comments in his mind about the future of the two, at least for now, they still have the potential to become the best players in the league.
Thinking of this, Tiger walked directly in front of the two of them very unexpectedly this time, and said with a smile: "Hello, Vince, Tracy."
The two brothers were walking down the aisle with their heads drooping and about to enter, when a voice stopped them, and when they turned around, they saw Tiger, and they were stunned at the same time, not knowing what the most prominent boss in the league wanted to do when they stopped them.
Carter was very elf, and quickly replied, "Hello, Mr. Tiger." As he spoke, he hurriedly tugged Maddie, who was also a transparent person, and immediately knew what his cousin meant, and hurriedly followed: "Hello, Mr. Tiger." β
Tiger waved his hand and smiled at the two of them: "Don't be so nervous, I'm a basketball fan now, your performance is very good, and there are not many talented players like you in the whole league." β
Both of them are now newcomers, and listening to the boss who claims to be the best at selecting players in this league, their hearts are also excited, Carter quickly said: "Are you too pretty, Mr. Tiger, we are just ordinary players." β
Maddie chimed in, "yes, you've won the prize, Mr. Tiger." β
Tiger looked at the two of them, shook his head and said: "No, it's not my reputation, I believe in my own eyes, your current potential is very amazing, but I also see your shortcomings, do you want to know." β
Tiger's words made the two people very surprised, the owner of another club, evaluating two players from other clubs in person, is really incomprehensible.
However, Carter was still very modest and said: "Mr. Tiger, it is our honor to give us brothers advice, please speak." β
Tiger smiled, didn't say any nonsense, and went straight to the point, listening to Tiger say to the two brothers, Carter and Maddie: "The talent of the two of you is unparalleled, but the attitude of the two of you towards the game and your natural surname also bring constraints to your future career, Vince first said you, your physical condition is very good, I even doubt that you are from Mars, your dunk is really amazing, but I want to remind you that dunking is very cool and enjoyable, But it's still a lot of damage to your body, and if you want to play longer, then you need to learn more ways to attack the basket, and it's a matter of your defensive attitude, you have the quality to be the best outside defender in the league, but your attitude is so disappointing, and it's a bottleneck that restricts you from becoming a real superstar. And then there's Tracy, I'm happy with your defensive attitude now, but whether you can keep it up in the future will be a big question, and Tracy's biggest problem is that he doesn't have a strong heart. Okay, that's all for today, I don't know if tomorrow those media will hype up the conversation between us into something that we can't get to be a good person to agree with. Okay, I won't delay your time, I hope to cooperate with you in the future. β
After saying goodbye to Carter, Maddy shook hands, turned around and left in a dashing manner, looking at Tiger's distant back, Carter and Maddie both showed thoughtful looks.
