194, the battle in the cold
Carter's table this season is better than last season, and can maintain a level close to 20+5+5, but the Raptors' record can still only hover outside the playoff door.
Carter is a player looking to make a difference in the playoffs, so on the eve of All-Star Weekend, he asked Raptors management for help, but the end result, the Raptors' roster was only slightly changed before the trade deadline, which was not satisfactory to Carter.
According to the news from Wu Jiao, Wu Di knew that Carter had really come up with an idea.
Wu Di is puzzled by this, you must know that the Raptors now have the talented Daco Mirisic, this young man is only 18 years old, and in time, he has the strength to become a top interior lineman.
In the current league, a top-level interior line means too much, and Wu Di doesn't understand why Carter insists on leaving.
Perhaps, as rumored to be, he wants to be on the highest stage in the shortest possible time, rather than spending time in the regular season.
The 28-year-old Carter didn't have time to wait for Mirisic to grow, but that doesn't mean their relationship is bad. On the contrary, Carter is happy to coach Mirisic, and speaking of which, Mirisic can have a table close to 20+10 this season, which really has a lot to do with Carter.
Although Mirisic played such a number of games on a weak team like the Raptors, Wu Di still believes that this guy has a lot of potential.
Wu Di believes that if Carter really gives up the opportunity to leave the Raptors, it will be a very big loss for him.
Of course. Something that would not happen this season is out of the question. And Carter can only desperately lead the Raptors forward. He still doesn't want to end the season with such regrets.
That's Carter's character, he's the kind of guy who wants to be strong.
At this time, in the face of Wu Di, Carter's whole person was like a great enemy, and his expression was quite stern.
The players on the field have slowly opened up the space, and the battle between Carter and Wu Di seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
The fans were thrilled that what they wanted to see finally happen.
"Vince Carter and Wu Di's physique is first-class, I don't know who can defeat the opponent in this duel?" This voice comes from the commentators.
And then there was a voice interface: "Vince, of course." His body is as strong as a cow, and although Wu Di scores very strongly, his body is much worse than Carter. ”
"And judging from the last two seasons, Wu Di and Carter's fight has not prevailed, especially in the rookie season, Carter has taught Wu Di a lot of lessons."
In fact, as these people said, Carter is slightly shorter than Wu Di, but his weight and strength are far beyond Wu Di, for the buckle general. He is good at using his physical strengths in his individual technique, which makes Wu Di, who also relies on athleticism, feel a little troublesome.
Really. The battle between the two ended in the blink of an eye, and after Wu Di was blocked by Carter's footsteps, he chose to turn over and jump shot, but under the interference of physical confrontation and Carter's jump, the basketball unfortunately fell on the basket.
This scene made the fans at the scene excited, and it was clear that Carter's successful defense made them feel extremely happy.
"See! Vince's beautiful defense ~ The rebound was taken by Darko ~~ Run, this is a good opportunity for a fast break. ”
Immediately after, there was a rush of footsteps throughout the scene, and the situation on the field had changed.
Mirisic grabbed the rebound and passed it to Carter, and then it was a fast break from the Raptors.
It's a pity that Wu Di failed to chase after him, and Carter dunked successfully.
This situation made Wu Di can't help but think about countermeasures, Carter seems to have a lot of experience in preventing him, and he must find a way to deal with it.
When Arenas dribbled past half the court, he wanted to pass the ball to Wu Di, but Wu Di waved his hand and motioned for Arenas to organize the attack.
Seeing Wu Di's extremely calm state on the court, Collins couldn't help but nod.
Obviously, if a leader is also impulsive and irritable, then his team will soon become a headless fly.
Carter saw that Wu Di did not catch the ball, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt that he had hope to bring Wu Di big trouble today.
However, for Wu Di, he is just looking for a low-effort way to attack, and he has always been not the kind of person who likes to be brutal.
As a result, Arenas began to show his playmaking talents, and at his signal, the players on the court began to run constantly, and the opponent Raptors of course changed their lineup.
Wu Di pretended to go down to the bottom line, and this scene made Carter stunned to chase after him.
Immediately, there was a nervous shout on the field.
It turned out that Wu Di slipped back and ran to the top of the arc, and Carter immediately followed forward when he saw this.
The moment Arenas rushed to the top of the arc in Wu Di's position, the whole person dribbled straight to the penalty area, and the direction he went was exactly where Carter was.
In a burst of exclamations and cheers, Arenas hit the ball from the crotch and passed to Wu Di as he blocked Carter's path with his body.
Wu Di received the ball, and at this time, Jane Nai Luo Pago, who was only 6 feet 1 tall, got up and pounced on Wu Di's position.
But how can his No. 1 position interfere with Wu Di's shooting.
Just jumping up slightly, the shot with a slight backswing made Wu Di's whole person look extremely elegant.
The basketball streaked across the sky and disappeared into the basket in the blink of an eye.
"Damn, another three-pointer! It's really terrible. ”
Carter shook his fist angrily, he knew that Wu Di was already deliberately avoiding him.
"Wu Di's fourth three-pointer of the game, he has already scored 17 points......" The live DJ suddenly introduced.
On the field, Wu Di withdrew his hand, made an OK gesture to Arenas, and then pulled away.
Carter immediately followed, only to see him confidently said: "Wu, if you dare to fight me face to face, I dare to guarantee that you will not score 25 points." ”
Hearing this, Wu Di shook his head and smiled, but he didn't have an interface.
This round. The Raptors began to attack inside. Carter breaks through the ball. Milicic put the basket close to the basket, but unfortunately, the basketball bounced twice on the basket and then flipped out.
Brown yelled for the rebound, and the Wizards immediately launched a counterattack.
Wu Di, who was running fast, was surprised that Carter, who was only following him, knew that the Canadian Flyer had begun to defend his running position to catch the ball.
Raptors head coach Kevin saw this and nodded with satisfaction. Clearly, Carter's defensive options were exactly what he would have been expecting to see. Wu Di was good at running, catching, shooting and shooting at the spot in his rookie season...... Carter was clearly right to do so.
However, for Carter, defending a super scorer who has grown up from a shooter is really tiring and troublesome.
Seeing that the fast break failed, Arenas steadied his pace.
When he saw Wu Di running along the three-point line to the top of the arc, Arenas instantly paid attention.
Carter followed quickly, he knew in his heart that Wu Di's shooting was lethal, and it was naturally impossible to give Wu Di any shooting space and a chance to catch the ball.
Quickly stepped forward to block in front of Wu Di, and Carter was also a little relieved.
However, the nervous shouting from the sidelines made Carter's heart bulge and he quickly turned around. Carter turned to look behind him.
Wu Di has already rushed into the inner line like a meteor.
Oh, damn it! Carter cursed in his heart. At the moment when Wu Di cut into the inside line, he was blocked by Christian.
Leaning out in two steps, Wu Di jumped high in the face of the block of the 6-foot-9 tall Tangyell Marshall.
Tang Yeer saw Wu Di's vacant height, and quickly flashed to the side.
It's true, Wu Di's bullet speed is too fast, and he flies very high, Tang Yeer is difficult to defend, so he can only flash to the side.
When Wu Di rushed to the basket, Arenas' pass came as expected.
Wu Di's raised arms suddenly grabbed the basketball, and under the watchful eyes of the audience, he smashed the ball into the basket.
"I can assure you that this guy is better off bouncing than on his side, and if he jumps at full strength, will he be 48 inches?" When he saw Wu Di's head over the basket with ease, even the commentators couldn't help but be surprised.
Carter's eyes flickered, he naturally witnessed Wu Di's dunk, that kind of jumping ability, even he couldn't help but admire.
Wu Di's dunk made the warm-up phase of the game completely over, and regardless of the temperature in the arena, the players on both sides began a fierce entanglement.
Carter, who is obsessed with dunks, will naturally show his dunk level to compete with Wu Di.
In a fast break, Carter completed a two-handed dunk in the 360 turn, a scene that made fans at the aviation center can't help but applaud fiercely.
Truly, Carter's dunks have always been able to make people feel a sense of enjoyment. As an opponent, Wu Di will also seize limited opportunities to dunk...... So, the fans feasted their eyes.
However, for Wu Di, he prefers that the team can win, so he will not be obsessed with choosing a dunk.
By the third quarter of the game, the Wizards had extended the margin to double digits.
Subsequently, Wu Di chose to fall into the high post and hit the back single, so the step-back jumper that was exactly the same as Jordan was frequently shown.
Wu Di's step-back jumper was high in the air and drifted back slightly, which made Carter unable to defend at all.
Soon, when Wu Di scored 4 goals in a row, the Wizards had achieved an absolute advantage.
Because they took a lead of more than 20 points in the third quarter, and the Wizards' bench still showed strong firepower under the leadership of Crawford in the fourth quarter, the next game became garbage time.
In the end, the Wizards defeated the Toronto Raptors 109-76 on the road.
In this game, Wu Di's feel and the temperature of the stadium were in stark contrast.
Wu Di, who was 14-of-22 from the field, 6-of-10 from three-point range and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, and contributed 38 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, was elected the best player after the game.
As for Carter, his table is a bit anticlimactic, Carter contributed 20 points in the first half, but only 8 points in the second half, and he naturally lost to Wu Di's brilliant table with 38 points.
However, for the fans, they saw a few dunk battles in the game, which was enough to satisfy them. (To be continued......)
