45. Vince Carter, half-man and half-god
Carter is very powerful, with an ability value of 94. As a junior last season, he averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Not only did he break through and dunk, he also averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game with a 40% shooting rate.
He made 162 three-pointers throughout the season, second only to the new three-point king Ray Allen.
Carter's scoring methods are more comprehensive than people think, which Liu Mang later learned when Carter became the sixth player in history to make 2,000 three-pointers in his career.
But why did Carter give people the impression of being a dunker in the early stages of his career?
In addition to Carter's dunk being so powerful, Liu Mang learned about another reason today.
A breakthrough is a breakthrough, it means wanting to dunk. Although I am very accurate from the outside, I still want to break into the inside and dunk.
Of course, Carter's breakthrough is very sharp, and he may have the fastest first three steps in active service except Allen Iverson. However, he rarely causes fouls when he rushes to the basket. He almost always attacks the basket straight away. His ability to stay in the air is excellent, but
However, he seldom pulls the lever and is often defended. The number of successful dunks in each season is actually not many, with an average of only about 1 per game. Instead, it is the outside shooting that he pays the least attention to that increases his shooting percentage.
The Hawks have Ratliff, the top shot blocker who has averaged 3.6 blocks per game so far this season, under the basket. Carter was blocked from several consecutive breakthroughs in the opening game.
If Antonio Davis hadn't made up two goals, the point difference would have been widened by the Hawks from the beginning.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Eagles had a clear advantage at the start, 12-6, and entered an official timeout.
Seeing coach Kruger pick up the tactical board to make substitutions, Liu Mang took off his training clothes directly.
Seeing this scene, Coach Kruger really wanted to hit Liu Mang in the face with a tactical board kill. Did he say that he wanted you to play?
But the training clothes are all taken off, so let’s get on. The Raptors’ main point guard Alvin Williams and backup point guard Chris Childs are no match for Liu Mang in Coach Kruger’s opinion, and
The defense is terrible. Liu Mang should be able to hit these two points immediately when he goes up. He won't be like Dean Grove, who clearly knows that his opponent is weak but fails to score even if he has the chance because of his offensive ability.
Sometimes you have to find opportunities by yourself. Originally, because Carter's breakthrough was too strong, Jason Terry was passed by one step every time. Although Ratliff defended him several times, it was impossible to always have the strength to defend, so he
Coach Luger is planning to replace a fast-footed defensive player, such as Alan Henderson, and let Jason Terry play the point guard. Anyway, with Jason Terry on the court, the point guard can't touch the ball.
However, Liu Mang took the initiative to get closer to Coach Kruger's field of vision to force his presence. After thinking about it, Coach Kruger simply let Liu Mang go. Anyway, Alan Henderson may not be able to keep up with Carter. The Eagles' outside line
The only people who can be as fast as Carter are Jason Terry and Liu Mang.
Jason Terry can't guard Carter at all. Carter can shoot directly over his head.
Therefore, after returning from the timeout, Liu Mang, who came on the court with Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Nubel, and Muhammad, looked excited and was dumbfounded.
Jason Terry followed Alvin Williams, who was opening up the space, and Chris Crawford followed Raptors small forward Maurice Peterson into the paint. There were a total of six people squatting in the paint.
Hey Hey hey……
Liu Mang looked at Carter dribbling over...
Why is it like this every time? We are playing buddies!
There is no way, this is the biggest problem of ordinary strong teams, there is no absolute strong point in perimeter defense to deal with the opponent's strongest offensive player, and then everyone takes the blame.
Liu Mang cursed secretly and came to the top arc to prepare for defense.
At this moment, the system sound came.
"Vince Carter activates his exclusive talent skill: Demihuman, Demigod..."
Half of you are a big-headed ghost!
Ouch, Malleg said you are acting like a hooligan. Liu Mang saw an attribute of 94 appearing on Carter's head, and then it suddenly turned into 97.
"Level 4 of Demigod: Carter's exclusive talent skill, speed increased to 97, strength increased to 85, dunk success rate doubled, shooting ability enhanced in all aspects."
Damn! This is the second time I encountered the exclusive talent skill, and it’s still so awesome!
Huh?
level 4?
Liu Mang was just surprised why it was level 4. Carter had already reached outside the three-point line and accelerated directly to break through. Liu Mang tried to push forward but was directly knocked to the ground.
Carter kept accelerating and rushed into the paint without any pause.
Carter's dunk success rate is average in normal conditions because his speed in normal conditions is 92, which is not the fastest. The outside line can provide him with some defensive blocks, and his rush into the inside is not a complete sprint.
But let Carter sprint completely... Just ask super defensive centers Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo and others and you will know the consequences.
At this time, the system sound came again.
"Vince Carter triggered level 5 of his death dunk skill, and the success rate of dunking over people is 50%."
The success rate of a death slam dunk is 50%? In addition, the success rate of a demigod's dunk is doubled. Damn, this is a 100% absolute dunk without being pulled down by a foul!
The three Raptors standing inside quickly ran away. Carter faced the rushing Muhammad, knocked him away, then swung the ball into a semicircle and smashed the ball into the basket!
Ordinary people hit the opponent when they swung up and dunked with a tomahawk, but Carter was different. He rushed in at full speed and then knocked away the opponent's defending center, threw himself into the air, and then went
Think about how to dunk!
Liu Mang got up from the ground and watched as Carter knocked over the center dunk effortlessly, not even taking a breath after the dunk.
Liu Mang didn't understand. Why did Carter run away after he came up?
But everyone was used to Carter's thunderous dunk. Muhammad jumped twice, so embarrassed, then picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang advanced slowly, and the Raptors did not press hard. After all, it was only the first quarter.
Liu Mang asked the system about his confusion while pushing forward.
"Vince Carter has passed his peak. He is passionate about dunks and has a general desire to win the game. He reached his personal peak very early."
Peak passed?
Carter is only 25 years old now... It seems to be true. Almost all of Carter's personal honors came in the first three years of his career...
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and sure enough, it was Carter who came to guard him.
"Ding... Vince Carter's demigod skill characteristics: extremely poor defensive attitude, only wants to counterattack and dunk."
"Ding... the host has gained the favor of Vince Carter, and Vince Carter is not interested in defending the host."
