Chapter 555: Carter's Might
The Knicks can still play basketball with very good team efficiency when Li Feng is gone, which shows that the young players of the Knicks are still quite good.
Carlisle also admires the Knicks at this time.
The Mavericks played, and the basketball was directly controlled in Carter's hands, and the Canadian non-human could shoot suddenly, but now Carter no longer has this ability.
Injuries and age deprived Carter of his speed and ability to make a pull-up at the waist, so Carter focused on three-point shooting and playmaking.
Carter took the ball and used the cover to move to the wing, and as Carter moved, the Mavericks' players were running in a fast air cut, creating a chance to attack.
In the midst of the Mavericks' chaotic but actually experienced runs, Brandon Wright suddenly turned around and cut to the basket after covering Boibis from the baseline.
Brandon Wright was really cutting behind the crowd, and Vucevic was defending in front of him, but at this time, Carter was separated by a person, and suddenly a ground pass sent the basketball to Vucevic's crotch directly in front of Brandon Wright.
Brandon Wright gets the ball behind Vucevic's ass, and Vucevic doesn't know what's going on yet. Brandon Wright got up with a violent clasp in both hands.
"Bang dang!"
Carter came up in the second quarter with a wonderful pass, which helped the team get a big dunk at once.
Brandon Wright came over to celebrate with Carter excitedly after the dunk, and Carter also smiled confidently.
Just before the Knicks played a team offense, Carter delivered a wonderful pass.
At this time, Su Qun also said:
"Vince Carter is such a demon. This kind of demonic passing is only something he can play, and he can play it so naturally. ”
"Huh!"
Yang Yi also smiled at this time and said:
"Indeed, Carter is indeed a special being. You can't say whether this player is good or bad, he is a special being, the rhythm of this person, the way he plays, and the way he organizes it are all different from ordinary people. So let's treat Carter as a landscape! ”
When Yang Yi said this, the Knicks called again. Livingston takes the ball and blocks it in the high post. Then break through the middle and break through to the halfway point when the Mavericks defend up.
Livingston passes to Dragic in the bottom corner, and Dragic passes to J.R. Smith at the top of the arc, who throws a three-pointer half a step from the three-point line.
The Knicks played another team offense. But this time J.R. Smith didn't shoot.
Just when J.R. Smith missed. Carman grabs the rebound. Then he immediately passed the ball to Carter, who took the ball and immediately dribbled behind it to shake off Dragic.
When Dragic was chasing from behind, Carter made a quick pass to Boubova who picked up from behind.
Boubois takes a step with the ball. While everyone's attention was on Boibwa, Carter suddenly accelerated and cut to the basket.
At this point, Boibis returned the basketball to Carter, who took the ball in the middle of the cut, twisted his body to one side, and then immediately turned around to make a layup.
In the process of rapid air cutting, Carter still played out of form, a sudden stop to change direction.
At this moment, Jones, who had caught up, was completely overwhelmed, and Carter passed Jones the same as a wooden stake, and then he dunked his hands violently, and scored two points again.
As soon as the second quarter began, Carter's table was very dazzling, a wonderful pass, a beautiful breakthrough, and suddenly boosted the morale of the calf.
At this time, there was a cheer on the Mavericks' bench, and Nowitzki also stood up to applaud Carter.
Carter's state finally improved, and at this time, the Knicks came to play again, and the defensive intensity of the Mavericks immediately improved, desperately pushing the Knicks' players outward.
At this time, the Knicks wanted to play a team's offense again, but the Mavericks' defense was too annoying, and Livingston was forced to the baseline here, and forced the throw again, this time his lack of throwing space was naturally missed.
When Livingston missed the shot here, the Mavericks immediately grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and then turned back and passed the ball to Carter.
Now the whole world knows that Carter feels hot, and Dragic on the Knicks' side is also staring at Carter.
In this way, the Mavericks' fast break did not hit, but in the absence of the fast attack.
Carter took the ball and immediately used Carman to play a high block, Carter took the ball and shook it to the right, Dragic thought Carter was going to break through again, he ran to the right, but Carter pulled back a back dribble to the left, and at the same time stepped back and jumped away briskly.
Carter opened the void at once, before the Knicks could react. Carter raised his hand and threw a left-handed three-pointer, Carter's projection posture was also quite tricky, and the basketball shot "Huh!" A thud landed in the Knicks' basket.
This time, Carter scored 5 points in a row and also scored an assist, and Tyberdu and Carter were about to have a convulsion.
Carter convulsed that his team couldn't win, so he immediately pulled Li Feng up and asked Li Feng to go to the sidelines to prepare.
The Knicks' players were caught off guard by Carter, but J.R. Smith and they were on the sidelines again.
Suddenly, J.R. Smith, Livingston, and Jones all felt a little unhappy, because they felt that not being able to go to Li Feng once there was a problem highlighted the incompetence of the three of them? So at this time, Jones first discussed it with his two brothers.
"I said, "We can't always count on the king. We should play our stuff! We should have our own value. ”
Jones's thoughts, J.R. Smith and Livingston also think, they also feel that they always count on Li Feng, isn't they too incompetent.
So at this time, Livingston and J.R. Smith looked at each other and said:
"You're right! We have to stand up to this wave of attacks on our own. ”
The three of them quickly exchanged ideas, and then entered the offensive end of the Mavericks, and the running and confrontation of the three people suddenly became tough.
Athletes need a psychological cue and adjustment, and after a balance, the player's mentality will immediately become different.
At this point, Livingston played harder, J.R. Smith ran faster, and Jones covered more fiercely.
The three of them play stronger, and the whole team is stronger.
The Mavericks' bench strength was originally inferior to the Knicks, and once the Knicks put it together, the Mavericks' defensive end suddenly appeared a hole.
Livingston grabbed the momentary hole in the Mavericks' defense, took the ball and broke through the flank and went straight to the Mavericks' basket.
The Mavericks' previous defense was basically teamwork, and now once the team's protection is lost, Livingston once breaks through.
Brandon Wright wasn't tall enough, Carman wasn't fast enough, and the two men watched Livingston come over, unable to defend.
Livingston saw a split-second opportunity and flew up and smashed a slam into the calf's head.
"Bang dang!"
The Knicks finally responded to the Mavericks, and Livingston roared wildly at the court after he landed.
Livingston's slam and roar immediately brought up the atmosphere at home, and Madison Square Garden was completely warmed up, and the momentum of Madison Square Garden immediately changed, just when the team's momentum changed.
Tyberdu also felt that his team might have changed, so he did not replace Li Feng for the time being, and let Li Feng continue to sit on the sidelines.
Livingston suddenly gave the Mavericks such a blow, which boosted the Knicks' morale a lot.
J.R. Smith and Jones also came to celebrate with Livingston's chest, and in this case, the morale of the entire Knicks team also increased.
The Mavericks brought the ball over again at this time, Dragic and Livingston went to pack Carter together, and the weaknesses of the Mavericks' bench lineup came out, and there were too few people who were capable of scoring.
Carter: Once entangled here, the Mavericks' scoring ability is weak, and Carter dumps the basketball at Carman in danger.
But Carman didn't do a good low-post attacker, but wanted to break through, and the result was naturally cut off by the Knicks.
After the Knicks broke the ball, Dragic turned and passed to J.R. Smith, who held the ball and ran back and frantically towards the Mavericks' half.
The Mavericks' bench lineup, although not too old, suggests that compared to the Knicks, their rate is still not good.
While Boubois was chasing J.R. Smith, J.R. Smith reached the Mavericks' three-point line, stopped suddenly, and then took the ball to Dragic on the wing.
J.R. Smith moved to the side, and Boibis instinctively reached for a steal, but just as Bouis moved slightly.
J.R. Smith pulled up and threw a three-point shot, Bouis was a little careless, and J.R. Smith's projection came, and J.R. Smith's projection was extremely fast, his hands were raised, and then his wrist flicked immediately, and when Boubois reacted, J.R. Smith's projection was finished.
"Brush!"
The Knicks immediately hit a three-pointer and hit a successful one, so that the Knicks scored five points in a row and played two fast breaks.
The momentum of the team came from behind to overpower the Mavericks, you must know that the Mavericks are the away team, and there is no shouting and cheering from the home fans when they play a good game, but the Knicks are different, once they play a good game, the fans will cheer for the Knicks, so the Knicks have two good balls in a row, the enthusiasm of the fans has come, and the morale of the team has also improved.
The Mavericks played well in the second quarter, but he didn't expect it, and then the Knicks immediately went out with two rookies, and actually pulled the morale and score back.
At this time, Tyberdu was not in a hurry to get on Li Feng at all, but Tyberdu was not in a hurry, and Carlisle was a little anxious.
Carlisle clearly arrived, his substitute lineup was not as good as the opponent, and the opponent's bench lineup was also playing very hard, in this state, he had to work hard. (To be continued......)
