Chapter 526: Fly! Carter
readx;
Now everyone knows that Carter has a great relationship with Zhang Kong, it is precisely because of Zhang Kong that Carter can play, Carter doesn't say much, he hasn't shown himself here, in fact, even if he does, he won't say that he has nothing to do with Zhang Kong, in Carter's heart, Zhang Kong's status is already very high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As the saying goes, grace becomes enmity, Zhang Kong's grasp of this thing can be described as excellent, he is not giving favors to the other party in vain, he has conditions, and this condition sounds more like Zhang blank to them, the main thing is that they don't want to face themselves in their hearts in an attitude of repaying their gratitude, this is Joanna's trick to Zhang Kong, so far, this deal is very good.
Carter came on the court, and the Cavaliers' lineup on the court was as follows, center JJ Hickson, power forward Jamison, small forward Maddy, scoring guard Carter, point guard Sessions, such a lineup must be based on Maddy and Jamison as the offensive axis.
Of course, this is just what everyone thinks, but things have surprised others, in the first offense after the Cavaliers came on the court, Sessions handed the ball to Carter, and let Carter play alone on the outside, which also meant that he wanted to find his touch.
Defending Carter is the bench player, Wayne Ellington, who has also played against Carter, of course, referring to Carter's time with the Magic, this year's Carter is in the Magic, he can't run fast, he can't jump high, and he can't throw three points on the outside.
It can be said that only in the basic defense in place, Carter is unlikely to pose any threat to the Timberwolves, plus there are Maddie and Jamison, two players who have been on fire recently, Wayne Ellington does not want to believe that Carter will lead the offense.
But sometimes, there are people who just break the conventional perception of others, just like Carter is now.
Carter looked at Wayne Ellington in front of him and smiled, and then suddenly changed direction under his feet, and his tight calves suddenly forced, like an arrow off the string, and rushed directly towards Wayne Ellington's side, not only Wayne Ellington didn't expect it, most of the players on the field didn't think about it, only Maddie and Jamison knew about Zhang Kong's injury treatment in advance.
"It's amazing how powerful your calves feel!" Carter felt the strength of his knees and calves as he broke through, a feeling he hadn't felt in years? Five years? Or eight years? Ever since he was injured by Bowen with the legendary 'Bao-style three-legged pusher', his knees have not been so comfortable.
This kind of explosive force was only felt when he first entered the NBA, when he was in the Raptors, when he was a god and no one could stop him, he was the most powerful existence in the league at that time, and the brilliance when he became the All-Star ticket king in a row seemed to have not shone on his body for a long time, but today, such a brilliance fell from the air again.
Wayne Ellington barely made any moves, and let Carter break through from his side, Carter held the basketball and drilled directly into the inside, Beasley and Love on the inside, born calves are not afraid of tigers, in fact, before they entered the NBA, Carter couldn't play the trapeze dunk like before, so their perception of Carter was not very strong.
And today, Carter has officially returned, looking at the two big inside lines from the bag, Carter did not pass the ball as the fans thought, and Maddie and Jamison did not specifically ask for the ball, the first ball is still handed over to Carter to play by himself!
Carter jumped high under the bag between the two, and instead of trying to dunk, he played a pull bar under the basket.
Carter has barely pulled since his lower back injury, but now he's doing it perfectly.
A perfect stagnation, after dodging Beasley, he used his usual surname to directly pull the bar to get out of Lefou.
But maybe because I haven't played for a week, the feel is not very good, the strength is too great when the wrist is pulled, the basketball did not go in, and after smashing on the neck of the basket, it fell out, but even so, the audience still stood up and applauded Carter, such a ball is not easy for Carter, and Carter just smiled after landing, and then looked at his hand with a magical face, the original feeling of self-confidence is back! It's a great feeling.
"How? Listen to me! Maddie walked over and patted her cousin on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Hearing Maddie's words, Carter grinned like a child, it seemed that he had made the most correct decision in his career, Carter's decisions in this life were basically wrong, only this time, he really chose the right one.
"Come on, defend yourself!" Maddie slapped Carter, and the two of them quickly returned to defense, after that, the Timberwolves tightened the interior line, and did not give Carter more opportunities to break into the interior in the first quarter, the first quarter of the game ended, the Cavaliers ended the first quarter with a 28-17 lead of the opponent by 11 points, and the Cavaliers needed to run in for a while because of the substitution, otherwise the score in a single quarter was only thirty, Zhang Kong and Byron Scott were going to curse! Think about the original Suns, their requirement was only to score more than 100 points per game, and Zhang Kong's request was to score more than 30 points in the first quarter, which shows how crazy it is.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' weakness was finally caught by the Timberwolves, and that was their interior problem.
The players on the court at this time are JJ Hickson and Vallejo, two 206 cm guys, one can jump, the other can grab rebounds, but this level is really not enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, Love came to the court, and then successfully dominated the game.
Recently, Lefu is indeed the second red man in the NBA, and the first red man is Griffin of the Clippers, this kid is empty, dunked, and has a dozen or so games in a game, and he vented his depression about not playing last season, but in terms of data, he is worse than Lefu, Lefu has always been the best in statistics, especially the rebounds and the scoring of interior players.
This kid has quite a lot of offensive means, three-pointers, mid-range shots, layups, breakthroughs, plus excellent rebounding smell, combat effectiveness is quite amazing, plus Beasley they are assisted by the side, and it is quite comfortable to play, the Timberwolves began to attack him at the beginning of the second quarter, and after four minutes in the second quarter, the Cavaliers originally led by 11 points, but were chased back by the Timberwolves by 8 points, leaving only a 3-point gap, at which time Byron Scott called a timeout, after the pause came back, five up and five down.
On the inside, Milicic and Jamison came on at the same time, and the small forward also replaced Gordon Hayward with Maddy, and the scoring guard replaced Gibson with Carter.
Gibson played with the maniac at the critical moment and it was not bad, but let him play a string, this kid's pass...... It's not enough.
Seeing Byron Scott five up and five down, all the experts couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly, after all, this time is not the beginning of the third quarter, in the current league, few teams will go directly up and down, generally the second quarter is the main force with the bench, the three main forces with two substitutes, and then use the remaining two main forces, with a sixth man, mixed with two substitutes.
The Mavericks do the best in this regard, but the Cavaliers are obviously not in the same class as the Mavericks.
What others don't dare to play doesn't mean that their Cavaliers don't dare to play either, Zhang Kong couldn't help but smile when he saw that the players on the field had changed.
After Milicic kicked off on the inside, Zhang Kong slowly pushed the ball across the half court, looking at Ridno who was defending himself in front of him, Zhang Kong didn't give the opponent a chance to step forward at all, half a step away from the three-point line, Zhang Kong had already directly pulled out the jump shot.
Although Zhang Kong's dry pull is not as standard as Maddie's, his hit rate is much higher than Maddie's.
The basketball smashed directly into the inside of the basket and bounced into the net, and the Cavaliers instantly turned the score difference into six points.
Seeing Zhang Kong directly pull out a three-point shot, Timberwolves head coach Kurt Rambis couldn't help but stand up and shouted loudly at his teammates, no one can let Zhang Kong go! Which team in the league doesn't know this?
Lidno didn't expect Zhang Kong to just come on the field, and he felt so good, after receiving the ball for half a time, he couldn't help but subconsciously touch his nose, but when he touched his nose, the flaw that Zhang Kong had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared.
Zhang Kong was like a cheetah, a white light flashed, Zhang Kong went straight to the basketball in Lidno's hand, Lidno was stunned for a moment, and immediately a dribble behind him wanted to turn the ball to his left hand, but at this time he found that his left hand was touching his nose, and he was stunned for a moment, Zhang Kong's little hand had already chattered on the basketball and directly knocked the basketball off.
Then Zhang Kong squeezed Lidno with his own strength, directly protected the basketball, copied it casually, and directly attacked it.
At the moment when Zhang Kong moved, the Cavaliers already had four people on a fast attack, Jamison, Maddy, and Carter were like three sports cars, rushing straight to the opponent's bottom line, plus Zhang Kong in the back, so that the opponent's defenders didn't know who to defend at all, and the front court was four to two, is there anything else to say? Zhang Kong broke through directly, shook off Cory Brewer, who was pasted into him, and was about to rush to the bottom line, and then threw the ball into the air, and Zhang Kong retreated with a smile.
And Beasley, who was on the inside at this time, looked at the basketball in the air, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, the only Jamison who could compete with himself for a bounce was still near the three-point line at this time, this ball Zhang Kong must have made a mistake, thinking of this, Beasley's heart couldn't help but relax, which proves that he still doesn't understand Zhang Kong, will Zhang Kong fight a battle that he is not sure of? It's impossible!
Just as Beasley was about to touch the ball with his hand, a pair of little black hands grabbed the basketball before him.
"This ...... It was impossible to ......" before Beasley could form in his mind, and he only felt a huge force coming from behind him, followed by himself falling to the ground, and a thud came from behind him, plus the cheers of the audience after gasping for air...... When he turned his head suddenly, he saw only a figure hanging high on the basket.
"Feel, awesome!" Carter, who was holding the basketball with both hands, hung on the basket with a surprised face, the feeling just now was a long time gone......
