Chapter 195: The boring Carter
It was January, and after a long game, to be honest, the players were already a little tired.
Not only old players, but also rookie players.
When I played NCAA, I only had so many games throughout the season, but now I have played NBA and I have not had half of the schedule.
Not only physical fatigue, but also psychological fatigue.
In recent games, Haslem, Mo Williams and others performed very well.
Don’t think they are just substitutes, and it doesn’t matter whether they perform or not, but the reality is definitely not like this.
Sometimes, when the starting lineup is equal, the substitute lineup seems to be particularly final.
Now, the Heat have suffered another wave of consecutive losses, losing to the Pacers and Pistons one after another.
This time, the Pacers and the Pistons truly showed the strength of the championship team and defeated the Heat.
Fortunately, Caron Butler performed well after his comeback, and recovered his form in time, stabilizing the Heat's decline.
In the match against the Knicks and the Bucks, they won one after another.
Today, the Heat will face the Raptors again. The Raptors have poor record and are basically hovering around the bottom three.
There is no way, the team's performance has been ups and downs, and they can't achieve the results they deserve.
Carter, Jaylen Ross, and Marshall have good offenses, but they can't defend.
Also, the three of them are actually wing players, especially Carter and Jaylen Ross, who play very similarly.
Although both of them have about 5 assists, in fact, neither of them can organize the attack.
For the two, there is only one way to assist, that is, a fierce attack, and then pass the ball after attracting double teams.
As the team's starting point guard, Elvin Williams is not the kind of player who is good at organizing offense.
This has led to a bit of chaos in the Raptors' offense, which is basically singles.
The last time I played against the Raptors, Carter was out of the game due to injury. To be honest, Chen Mo was quite a pity at that time.
However, in today's game, Carter has returned and his condition has returned to his best condition.
In the game against the Hawks at the end of last month, Carter scored 43 points, the highest score this season.
Compared with Kobe, McGrady and others, Carter is more performative and has a slightly less explosive power to score.
Of course, this cannot deny Carter's strength.
At this moment, Carter told everyone what a half-human and half-god is.
Facing Eddie Jones' defense, he made a fake move and relied on explosive power to directly wipe it in.
The moment the ball was collected, it accelerated directly and rushed into the inside line almost instantly.
Grant was always no longer in his peak state, and he was obviously half a beat slower when making up for defense.
And it was this half beat that made Carter take action with a very relaxed dunk.
2:0
"Oh my god, half-man and half-god are coming again. Vince Carter locked Grant and Mr. Tens of Millions."
Carter's performance at the beginning directly ignited the whole game. Well, this is actually the Heat's home court.
But facing such a performance, even Heat fans couldn't help but want to have a carnival.
There is no way to compare with those who fly in the air and play, Chen Mo hit a mid-range shot steadily.
And it was Jaylen Ross who defended Chen Mo.
For some reason, Chen Mo's hands were very itchy today, just wanting to pitch.
Jaylen Ross has arranged for you, but you should take action quickly and get points quickly. What are you thinking?
Jaylen Ross is the most well-known Michigan Five Tigers, and then Kobe's background board with 81 points.
That's right, Kobe's 81 points were obtained from Jaylen Ross.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo suddenly felt that this seemed to be an opportunity!
In the next round, Carter did not receive the ball again, but gave the opportunity to Jaylen Ross, who held the ball and played singles again.
That's right, this is the Raptors' stand. Carter and Jaylen Ross played singles in turn, and then Marshall waited for opportunities on the outside.
Jaylen Ross glanced at Chen Mo, without any unnecessary false actions, just a sudden attack.
The strong body was hard to chisel Chen Mo into the inner line, but when it was as if it was chiseled, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
No strength anymore!
In a moment of trance, Jaylen Ross suddenly realized that it was not because he was weak, but because Chen Mo's strength had increased.
Compared with the fight a month ago, Chen Mo's strength has increased significantly.
Although he is still not as good as Jaylen Ross in confrontation, he can also cause him a lot of trouble.
Stopping midway is a taboo in the offense. Sure enough, Grant's double-team immediately followed.
Jaylen Ross had no passes at all, so he could only throw the ball out with his teeth.
In order to avoid being blocked, a very difficult backward tilt will hit the basket and pop up.
Blake protected the rebound and launched a fast break as soon as possible, which is one of the keys to the Heat's tactical style.
Eddie Jones has already taken the fast break first, and Blake is on the ball as soon as possible.
He originally planned to enter the inside, but Carter's defense was very tight, so Eddie Jones had to pass the ball first.
At this time, Chen Mo just followed and stood outside the three-point line, and the basketball flew straight towards him.
Without any hesitation, he opened his hand and shot after receiving the ball, and the basketball fell steadily into the net.
5:2
"It was another three-pointer in the fast attack, which is Chen's signature offensive method."
"Yes, during the fast break, people choose to hit the basket more because this is a higher hit rate.
But Chen just went the other way, and the sudden attack outside the three-point line was really lethal."
"There are data that Chen chose to take action outside the three-point line in the fast break, with a shooting percentage of up to 53%.
“It’s incredible!”
"Yes, maybe everyone has forgotten that defensive players often choose to shrink the basket when facing opponents' fast attacks, so the defensive pressure outside the three-point line is very weak."
...
Chen Mo clenched his fists. He felt good today, maybe he could try it.
What to try? Naturally, you will get points!
The Raptors' habit is that no matter who defends or how good the opponent feels, they will kill one and one.
Otherwise, Kobe wouldn't have scored 81 points later. No matter how powerful you are, you can't fight two at one time!
The Raptors attacked, and Carter played against Eddie Jones in the singles again.
Suddenly, Carter gently wiped it away, directly squeezed Eddie Jones away, and easily made a layup.
When he returned to defense, Carter inadvertently glanced at Chen Mo, his little eyes were very emotional!
In fact, when he scored the first goal, Carter had such a look, but he didn't see it clearly.
Among the four major points guards, Carter is definitely the most introverted and arrogant one.
The arrogance of others is manifested in the open, even McGrady is the case.
Compared with the other three poor students, Carter attaches great importance to his studies. Even if he enters NBA early, he has obtained a degree certificate.
