Chapter 211
Carter doesn't care about that.
At this time, he only cares about scoring. A dunk is 2 points, and a shot is also 2 points. In his eyes, there is no difference.
In the field of dunking, he has reached the ceiling, the top, and has no desire.
Now he has nothing in his personal honors. It's time to prove his career with a championship ring.
So what is a dunk?
Dunking is nothing. When the team needs you to score, it is enough to show your ability to get points.
He doesn't want others to evaluate his career with two words: dunking general.
This is the greatest affirmation of his career, but it is definitely not a compliment.
In terms of historical status, he is far behind the other three of the four major shooting guards.
And the championship is the highest honor that can add value to his career, so for Carter, dunking really doesn't matter.
In any case, Carter's professional attitude is definitely worth learning for most players.
Even Bowen, who is black and dirty, has to admit that Carter in the finals is definitely a strong shooting guard.
This year, Carter was selected for the first team, and many people felt that it was controversial, and even felt that he was clinging to thighs.
But from the playoffs all the way to the awakening when playing against the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals,
all proved his excellence and his growth.
In fact, many stars do not lack personal ability, many people just lack a better team, a better team, and some good luck.
These three points are indispensable, and the championship is never a one-man game.
Before Pippen came, as strong as Jordan, he was just hovering on the edge of the playoffs and the playoffs.
Carter is satisfied with being able to join a team like the Nets this year. He feels that his career is about to be complete.
Therefore, he will definitely go all out for honor.
Popovich and Ginobili, the master and his apprentice, sat on the sidelines, watching Carter's performance.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. This player, who was known for his dunks, was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
Facing the increasingly confident Carter, Bowen was already unable to cope with him.
Parker took the ball and quickly broke through the half court.
Lagabelle's defense on him was always tight. Unlike Parker, who needed to do something on the offensive end,
For role player Lagabelle, being able to limit Parker's performance and make a three-pointer when there was an opportunity, 90% of the task was completed.
The remaining offensive methods had almost nothing to do with him, and were not his areas of expertise.
At this time, he played his tenacity and kept guarding Parker.
Compared to Wade's strong and explosive style, he was unable to do it.
Parker's fast, flexible and changeable style was not what Lagabelle was afraid of.
After Parker tried unsuccessfully on the three-point line, he could only wait for Duncan to get in position.
He entered the three-point line and one step inside the serving line.
Duncan got the ball at the axis position. When Ginobili was not there,
The Spurs needed him to distribute the secondary offense.
Teammate started cutting and running, among which Parker was the most active.
When Ginobili was not there, he needed to prove himself.
The Spurs' screen tactics interfered with Lagabel, who was chasing closely.
Parker took the opportunity to get out from the baseline.
The pass from Duncan went directly to Parker.
He thought Lagabel had been blocked for a mid-range jump shot. He had plenty of time to adjust in the air.
"Be careful!"
As his teammates exclaimed, Parker saw a black-clad man stretching out his long arms towards him.
Lagabel, who had secured a starting spot in the finals, showed his desperate nature, broke through Horry's blockade, gritted his teeth and caught up with Parker's trajectory at a very fast speed.
The two faced each other in the air, and could even clearly see every stubble of the other's beard.
Lagabel tried his best to interfere. He was 1.96 meters tall. With an excellent wingspan,
This is also one of the prerequisites for him to become a defensive gate.
Parker's shot was interfered in the air.
"Ding"
The force of the basketball was not controlled well under the interference, and it hit Blue's neck heavily and bounced high.
The ball bounced too far, and Roy, who was standing under the basket, could only jump backwards. In this way, he could not take care of Duncan behind him.
Duncan also aimed at the rebound.
He estimated the direction of the basketball and took a step back in advance, and jumped forward.
The two touched the ball at the same time in the air.
Because Roy was in a backward state, he could only barely keep his balance in the air and could not control the rebound at all.
In the end, the two fought, and Duncan, who had a geographical advantage, rarelyHe grabbed the rebound over Roy's head.
After getting the rebound, he didn't let his hand drop. While Roy was still adjusting his center of gravity, he took the lead and made a tiptoe shot.
I don't know if it was luck or strength,
The basketball bounced on the basket again and fell into the hoop.
"Damn it, the Spurs' basket can recognize people, why is it like this every time!"
McInnis couldn't help but complain about Duncan's shot. It was not the first time.
The last round also fell into the basket with a bump.
Roy was also helpless. His second jump always encountered the opponent's lucky ball that was almost destiny.
When McGinnis picked up the ball under the basket, Duncan passed by Roy with an expressionless face.
After the entire series, Roy didn't even say more than 10 words to him.
In normal observation, he seemed to rarely communicate with his teammates.
The name of Stone Buddha is definitely the most appropriate description of him.
Normal inside players usually get excited when they score such a goal, after all, they are very happy when they score a lucky goal.
But Roy has basically never seen Duncan's emotional fluctuations.
It feels like the person he is playing against is a breathing robot.
Duncan started to play continuously, making Spurs coach Popovich sit on the Diaoyutai,
He also launched a new round of PUA for Ginobili who was not performing well next to him,
"Look at Tim, this is the player I taught, I let you watch the game off the court for your own good, young people should have more sense of responsibility and carry the team like him!"
The Nets' ball, Carter took the ball from Kidd,
At this time, Carter's hands were hot, and he would give him more balls on the offensive end. This is a skill that every NBA point guard must have,
This is not to be a hands-off boss, but to maximize efficiency,
Usually star players The touch of the players will last for a while, and a good point guard team will seize this period to let him attack and score as much as possible.
But Carter obviously has his own ideas. He passed the ball to Roy at 45 degrees.
Roy faced the basket and attracted the attention of the Spurs.
Carter pulled outside the three-point line, as if to give Roy a chance to play alone.
Bowen also thought this was the tactical choice of the Nets,
so he relaxed his vigilance and even looked at Roy behind him, wanting to provide some defensive help to Duncan when necessary and help defend Roy.
Roy's offensive moves were very realistic. After continuous dribbling between the legs, he started
The Spurs were already watching Duncan's defense.
At the position close to the baseline, Carter suddenly ran back, catching Bowen off guard.
After getting rid of Bowen, only Horry, who had not yet noticed his direction, was left under the basket.
McInnis knew at a glance that this was a dunk, and ran to the baseline on the other side to take Horry with him.
Carter gestured to Roy and pointed his finger to the sky.
The Spurs' inside line was empty, and Bowen's warning was too late.
After completing the offensive move, Roy did not shoot, but threw the ball into the sky in Duncan's astonished eyes.
