Carter was very angry that he was ignored by the Eagles!

After the start of the second quarter, Carter scored two three-pointers in a row, plus a breakthrough dunk and a pass to Jerome Williams for a dunk, leading the Raptors to 10 points in a row.

The Eagles were originally playing the game easily, but were caught off guard by Carter's unexpected outburst.

Although the Eagles also relied on Jason Terry to score 4 points, the total score was chased by the Raptors 30 to 31!

The Eagles' lead is only 1 point left!

After three minutes of play, the Eagles were forced to call a timeout!

None of the top four shooting guards, Koai McCain, can be ignored. When Carter was ignored by the Hawks, he suddenly broke out in the second quarter.

Now the Eagles only lead by 1 point, which means the game between the two teams seems to have started over!

But Coach Kruger did not panic. Except for the Hawks, Nets, Pistons, and Pacers, the lineups of other teams in the Eastern Conference this year are very poor. This is the consensus of all fans and media. Against the Raptors, even if Carter is explosive

After a while, coach Kruger didn't rush, but made substitutions steadily.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown were replaced.

Raheem and Rasheed Wallace were still placed on the bench to rest.

On the Raptors side, Coach Wilkens felt sad looking at the Eagles' rotation. If he hadn't left the Eagles two years ago, this lineup would have been his!

Look at this group of people. Except for Carter, they are either veterans who are about to retire, rookies, or weaklings.

The key is that this rookie is too mentally fragile. When he was abused, he was not angry, but looked like he was about to cry.

Coach Wilkens didn't dare to replace Milicic, for fear that he would suffer a psychological breakdown due to being targeted by the opponent.

But unexpectedly, when the Eagles called a timeout and Wilkens was rearranging tactics for Carter, Milicic actually took the initiative and asked to play!

Coach Wilkens was a little surprised when he saw Milicic's renewed fighting spirit, while Carter was really unhappy when he saw Milicic. He finally found a chance to explode, but this rookie actually came to steal the ball again. Carter's emotional intelligence is very good.

Gao couldn't help but look at Milicic with an annoyed look.

Milicic caught Carter's eyes and immediately said: "Coach, I'm not their opponent yet, but my pick-and-roll and mid-range shots can create better opportunities for Vince."

Not yet?

When Carter heard this, he glanced at Milicic in surprise. He was so surprised.

Carter has been working with Milicic for almost two months since he returned to the team and started the training camp. Although Milicic is talented, he is very fragile inside. When he encounters an opponent that he cannot deal with, although he will force

He would fight, but if he lost, he would remain silent and his face would be full of grievances.

But this time, after being teased like this by Liu Mang and others, he would actually say something that is not the case now, that is, he is confident that he will be the opponent of Rasheed Wallace and others in the future?

Needless to say, although he really hates this rookie, because this rookie has made his team's status unstable and his strategic core position has been lost, Carter's impression of this rookie has been greatly improved this time.

If he was really robbed of his core position and forced away by a weakling with a weak mentality, Carter might hate Milicic for the rest of his life, but now, although Carter still hates Milicic from the bottom of his heart,

But his emotional intelligence came back online.

"Coach, let me and Darko go up together, and I will lead him to fight." Carter also suggested.

Just like what Milicic said, it is true that Milicic is not a match for the Eagles' inside group, but he is already Carter's best teammate now.

As a star who entered the NBA in the 1990s, although what the Raptors have done to him in the past two years is unreasonable, Carter still hopes to stay in the Raptors. With his emotional intelligence, he can guess what will happen to his reputation if he leaves the Raptors.

and popularity will have an impact.

Moreover, Carter also yearns for things like one person, one city. He hopes that one day, when he retires, there will be a city and a team that will make people think of him when they mention him, like Russell and Jordan.

Coach Wilkens was very surprised by the big change between Milicic and Carter today. Milicic's dissatisfaction aside, Wilkens saw Carter's dissatisfaction, but he couldn't help it.

It's just that the head coach and the team are required to fully develop the center. Carter's role will inevitably weaken. This is inevitable, unless Milicic is trained from a supporting role and Carter can lead Milicic in playing.

But the requirement of the Raptors management is to cultivate Milicic as the core, so Carter will definitely be dissatisfied.

But now Milicic takes the initiative to play a supporting role, and Carter also said that he will play with Milicic, which makes Coach Wilkens overjoyed. When the two people who are the team's number one and the core of the team management have such a

When the idea comes up, he has enough reasons to suggest that the management trade reinforcements.

Coach Wilkens replaced Alvin Williams, Carter, Peterson, Jerome Williams, and Milicic.

…

After the timeout, the Eagles attack.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Jason Terry. Jason Terry was very unhappy with the two shots made by Carter. He took the ball and took two steps to make a breakthrough, but he stepped on it.

When he reached the three-point line, he suddenly pulled up and shot!

Alvin Williams took a big step back to prevent Jason Terry from breaking through, but was given a cold shot. Jason Terry hit a long two-point shot.

Liu Mang was returning to defense while watching Jason Terry's gliding celebration. Jason Terry was speechless. Couldn't he have taken off a few centimeters earlier? Shooting from the three-point line is the most disadvantageous. It is almost as difficult as a three-pointer, but

Only two points.

But this shows that the Raptors now have defensive discipline, but their ability is really poor. Alvin Williams is 29 years old and has begun to decline significantly, mainly in terms of physical fitness.

The age of twenty-five or six is ​​the peak of physical fitness. What does peak mean? It means that the day you reach the peak, you will decline every day after that. And most players decline at an unbelievable speed. If you say they are declining, they will decline.

You can see that the average NBA player lasts only three years in his career.

Alvin Williams was afraid of being broken through by Jason Terry, so he chose to retreat and defend. His awareness was good, but Jason Terry would dare to wander if he was given a little space. He was the sixth man anyway.

, wander as you like.

Offense and defense transition.

Carter advanced with the ball.

Liu Mang's eyes were different when he saw Carter! And the Raptors' movement and Milicic's feeling were also different!

Although he didn't know what hidden secrets Carter and Milicic had, Liu Mang knew that he had to get serious and fight! It was a great start to the game, but he couldn't capsize in the gutter!

Prince defended Carter.

Carter had a headache when he saw Prince. Why did the Eagles randomly pick someone and play for two years and then he was so strong? Just now, after he took advantage of the Eagles' unpreparedness and hit two three-pointers on Jason Terry's head, Prince

Prince immediately defended him, and he could only rely on explosive power and speed to break through. Prince's height and wingspan were too scary to defend against shots, and Carter felt like he would be blocked as long as he shot.

The Raptors opened up the space. Milicis went to the left mid-range of the free throw line to open up the space and pulled out Kwame Brown. Alvin Williams went to the right corner and took Liu Mang away to open up the space.

Peterson is the Raptors' most accurate three-pointer besides Carter. He pinned Jason Terry in the left corner. Jerome Williams fought hand-to-hand with Boozer near the three-second zone. Boozer was defensive.

Nothing else works, but he is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat.

Carter looked at the opponent's defense and saw that the space was... really bad!

Liu Mang obviously didn't care at all about Alvin Williams' three-point shooting percentage of more than 20%. He didn't completely guard him. When Carter broke through, he double-teamed him.

Carter waved for Milicic to come over for a pick-and-roll. Milicic blocked Carter's left side. Carter deliberately avoided the direction of Liu Mang's double-team and made a pick-and-roll breakthrough on the left side of the basket!

To Carter's surprise, Kwame Brown, who was switching to guard him, was so fast and blocked him!

Kwame Brown's awareness of pick-and-roll defense is the most surprising thing about the Hawks. With such good physical fitness and awareness of pick-and-roll defense, the Lakers originally led 3-1 in the first round in 2006. Kwame Brown and Kobe Bryant

The defensive combination is the key to preventing Nash's pick-and-roll!

Under Kwame Brown's timely and fierce defense, Carter was unable to start immediately after the pick-and-roll!

At this time, Prince bypassed Milicic and came towards Carter. Milicic had great awareness and immediately cut towards the basket. Carter was overjoyed and immediately passed the ball to Milicic, who dribbled the ball.

Rushing to the basket, Jerome Williams tried his best to help Milicic resist Boozer, preventing Boozer from returning to the basket to cover.

Milicic rushed to the free throw line, took a big step, and dunked!

Although Milicic took a few steps and Carter did not assist, this was a rare connection between the two, and it was initiated from Carter. Carter was very excited, but when Milicic took off, Carter saw

The figure who rushed in from the bottom line was suddenly startled and shouted: "Be careful!"

But it was too late, Milicic had already flown out and dunked the ball toward the basket!

Just when Milicic was ready to land and roar like the opponent's power forward, the ball had been dunked and was about to be dunked into the basket, when a large hand that was obviously disproportionate to his arm appeared in his sight.

Inside!

"Snapped"

"Get down here!"

Milicic felt a huge force coming from the ball in his hand, and the ball broke out of his hand! The ball hit Milicic's head and bounced out of bounds!

Milicic lost his balance and took several steps back after landing. He narrowly protected himself and sat down on the ground without being hit directly.

Liu Mang blew his hands after landing. Seeing the rookie who seemed to have regained his fighting spirit, Liu Mang felt that it was time. A weak rookie, even if he was talented, Liu Mang felt that bullying him would not be fun.

Now that Milicic seems to have cheered up, Liu Mang's mood has risen. Now that he has cheered up, let's knock him down again!

But, at the very least, Milicic tried to change his style of play and try to compete with his side. Liu Mang gained respect for Milicic. Of course, he had to bully this rookie!

After blowing his hand, Liu Mang said to Milicic who was sitting on the floor: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

…

In this game, the most difficult thing for the Eagles to deal with was Carter, but Carter broke out alone, and the Eagles were not afraid. When Milicic was still targeted, Carter had no choice but to turn on his personal offensive mode.

It's really difficult to guard. Even Prince can't guard Carter, who is rich in scoring skills, and Raheem can't guard him when he comes up. But the Eagles can double-team, and the Raptors have too many open shots who can't make the shot.

, as for Milicic, although they are trying their best to help Carter, although Milicic is talented, he is just a rookie and was eaten hard by the Eagles.
