Chapter 51 Familiar Carter
James knew what Huang Jun meant when he threw the ball over, so James was already preparing. When the ball arrived, he jumped to catch the ball.
In the stunned and stunned eyes of the whole audience, James jumped high, which made all the fans and spectators stand up in surprise, including Barkley and Smith, who were on the sidelines.
Although many people know that James's bounce is terrible, they have never thought that James would jump so high. How could he not expect it? How powerful is it to bounce like this with stagnation?
When James jumped up, the ball also reached the top of James's head. James did not miss the pass. James received the ball with one hand and then slamed the ball into the basket with both hands.
Although this is not the home of the Cavaliers, there are still many fans who cheer for the ball, which makes the Nets of the home team very embarrassed. Whose fans are you? Is it our Nets or the Cavaliers?
After landing, James turned his head to the bench of the Nets and looked at Carter, who was resting off the court. James didn't do anything, just looked at Carter.
Of course, Carter understood what James meant, but Carter directly bowed his head and didn't look at James, as if he hadn't seen James's performance on the court.
When James saw that Carter bowed his head, he directly turned around and ran to the half-time without looking back, and gave Huang Jun a high-five. For this ball, James admired Huang Jun's pass very much. Such a precise pass can be said to be very difficult, and on this ball, he thought Huang Jun did very perfectly and did not have much strength. Less, just passed to that height. One more point will be out of bounds, and one point less will not be so shocking.
With a shallow smile on Huang Jun's face, he looked very ordinary about this pass, and there was no more joy at all.
James didn't care about Huang Jun's calm expression at all.
This ball completely raised the morale of the Cavaliers players to the highest point. For the rest of the first quarter, the Cavaliers were completely possessed and played very well, completely abusing the Nets. In the last five minutes of the first quarter, the Cavaliers played a 15-four offensive wave. Pull the difference to a 19-point advantage in one fell swoop.
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Nets by 15 to 16 by 19 points, one point away from a net victory over the opponent by 20 points in a single quarter.
He called a timeout during the Nets, but there was no effect at all. At this time, the expression on the face of the home coach of the Nets, Foklan, was very gloomy. He didn't expect that he would be so much by the other side in the first quarter. Is this going to be solved by the Cavaliers in the first quarter?
"Smith, this year's Cavaliers are really amazing. This is only 19 points ahead of the opponent in the first quarter, and also scored 35 points, with a sharp attack and almost zero mistakes." Barkley said.
"Yes, last year's Cavaliers had to rely on James for everything. Although there was a threat, the opponent didn't care. How far can a team go? However, this year's knights are completely different. Smith paused and said, "After this year's Cavaliers selected Huang Jun, a defender from China, in the draft, it has completely changed. There is no need for James to be a father and mother. Huang Jun, whose organizational ability and scoring ability are first-class or top-level, has brought changes to the knights"
Smith said so much in one breath, and there is no doubt that he is changing his direction to praise Huang Jun.
Barkley agreed with this very much, saying, "It's true, as you said, this year's knight's threat will no longer be a point in previous years, but two points. It's enough for the opponent to have a headache.
Smith nodded and agreed with Barkley's statement.
The second section begins.
The Cavaliers replaced the substitute lineup and replaced the team's important James and Huang Jun at the same time. For the Cavaliers, they are 19 points ahead, and at least one quarter can give the main players a break, so Brown replaced James and others without pressure.
And the Nets also replaced Yi Jianlian and others. The current lineup on the court is "the center Lopez, the big forward Nahula, the small forward Simmons, the scoring Carter, and the point guard Du Lin.
The strength of this lineup is not bad. At least in the next period of time, it can completely recover a little difference, so that it will not always lag behind by about 20 points. A normal person has been looking at such a disparity of points, and he will feel a little powerlessness in his heart or admit defeat in his heart.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Du Lin gave the ball to Carter, who was flying in the air. Carter directly completed an air relay dunk. Carter knew that he had to find a way to raise the team's morale, otherwise his team would have to explain before the end of the first half. That's why Carter chose such an offensive method at the beginning. As for whether he can improve morale, it is beyond Carter's control.
This ball was also discussed by Carter and Du Lin when he was on the court.
Gibson held the ball, used Asik's cover to go directly into the basket, and chose to lay up. However, how could Lopez, who had been waiting for a long time, agree? He sent it directly with a hot pot, and Carter on the side copied the ball into his hand.
Next, Carter didn't choose to wait for his teammates at all, and directly launched a fast attack. How would Carter let go of such a great opportunity?
When Carter arrived at half-time, there was no defensive player in front of him. When Carter saw this, he smiled with a deep smile on the corners of his mouth. With such an opportunity, how can Carter miss the opportunity to improve morale and show off?
As soon as he entered the free throw line, Carter jumped high. Then there was a 360-degree turn in the air, and finally the ball was slamming into the basket. The scene suddenly cheered and rushed towards the field like a tsunami.
Carter, who landed, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and experienced the cheers at this moment. Fall into memories.
"I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time. I really miss it."
Carter hasn't experienced such a pleasure for a long time. He doesn't know whether he is the omnipotent Carter he used to be. In his heart, he thinks that he is no longer the Carter. As he gets older, the injury increases. He doesn't know how many times he can dunk.
It took a long time to recover from his mind. Carter opened his eyes and looked at the fans around him who were still cheering for him. Carter smiled and then put his finger on his mouth and blew it.
The fans at the scene naturally knew the meaning of this action. There was a tacit understanding at the scene. It calmed down in an instant. Everyone looked at Carter and rolled with tears.
Carter just looked at it and was inexplicably moved. Thank you for always supporting me.
The next Carter was out of control. How could he play? When the second quarter of the game was just six minutes, the score difference was only nine minutes away. In six minutes, Carter led the team to play a 15-5 attack wave, pulling the score difference from 19 points to ten points. Poor.
There is no doubt that the Nets played very well under the leadership of Carter during this period, and Carter got eight of them in these 15 points. Although he didn't get the fifteen points, these fifteen points can be said to have something to do with him.
Carter seems to have returned to the familiar omnipotent Carter during this period. Although the fans don't know how long Carter can last, at least at this time it is the Carter they are most familiar with and crazy, which is enough.
James has been watching Carter's performance off the court, and his heart is already itchy. James has been eager to refuse with the strong, and he has long been ignited by Carter's fighting spirit when he rested off the court.
For this reason, James also ran to the head coach Brown several times and invited him to play, but he was rejected by Brown. The reason is very simple. This will not be your time, but the time of the players on the court. Just give me a good rest. You will play later.
In this regard, Brown has no intention of making any concessions. Now he needs to experiment with the lineup to see which lineup is the best, so everything must be done according to his plan. There is no room for disturbance.
Although James is the boss of the team, and even Brown can't afford to offend him, he believes that James will understand his heart, because at this time, James is no longer a young James who is new to the league.
Although he was rejected by Brown, James understood Brown's decision and did not have any resentment in his heart.
After the timeout, Brown directly sent Huang Jun, James Battier and others to the field. The Nets did not replace Carter, who was in a very hot state at this time, but replaced the starting lineup, in an attempt to successfully catch up the score again in the following time.
Huang Jun held the ball and looked at Harris defending himself in front of him. The expression on Huang Jun's face gradually cooled down. Huang Jun has not scored in this game so far, but he got nine assists in the first quarter. The knight's attack was completely organized perfectly.
Although Huang Jun did not score, no one on the court dared to underestimate him. The first quarter completely made the Nets players understand what passing the ball is and what the threat of zero points is.
James originally wanted to ask for it, but Huang Jun, who saw such an expression, decisively gave up the idea of asking. Because he knows that Huang Jun is like this, he is sure that the ball will come by himself. Despite this, James will still be ready to ask at any time. He is not afraid of ten thousand or ten thousand. What if Huang Jun chooses to pass the ball?
Huang Jun, who had never made any action, suddenly started at this time. Harris's speed was naturally not slow, but compared with Huang Jun, it was obviously not a level. Being naturally expected or imagined.
Sure enough, Huang Jun passed Harris directly in the next round, and it was very perfect, and shook Harris to the ground.
This is undoubtedly a shame for Harris to be shaken down by a first-year rookie. He can imagine tomorrow's news.
