NBA beast center

Chapter 804

The finale debut is the old flying man who is over 40 years old - Vince Carter!

I don't know if this situation infected the old flying man, Carter also felt that he should show his skills, even though he was no longer young.

The fans at the scene gave Carter the warmest cheers, and the teammates applauded. The cards are definitely enough.

Carter smiled, took the basketball, and started running.

Carter cuts in with the ball at 45 degrees along the left wing, and Carter takes off with both feet in the penalty area...

Familiar scene, familiar action!

Carter took off, his bounce and strength are still there, turning 360°, big windmill!

When Carter dunked the ball into the basket, the scene was completely boiling...

Dream back to 2000!It was as if time had flowed backwards, as if everyone had boarded a time shuttle and brought everything back to 20 years ago, back to the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest that year.

Carter's eye sockets are also wet... The years are merciless, the flying man and UFO of the past have now become a middle-aged uncle.

No one can resist Old Man Time, even Carter is no exception.He is considered to be in good health, and he is not overweight, but he can still feel that his bullet speed is much worse than when he was young. Even if it is a big windmill, it is not as round as it used to be.

But this does not prevent everyone from recalling another wave, and the value of the scene is directly full!

The starting lineups of both sides for this game have been announced.

The starting lineup of the Nets is: center-Jarrett Allen, power forward-Beast, small forward-Andrew Wiggins, shooting guard-Rodrigo Beaubois, point guard-July Holiday.

The Heat's starting lineup for the away game is: center - Meyers Leonard, power forward - Edris Adebayor, small forward - Jimmy Butler, shooting guard - Duncan Robinson, Point guard -- Kendrick Nunn.

Jarrett Allen and Meyers Leonard prepare for a jump ball near the center circle before the game begins.

Meyers Leonard, also known as "White Leonard", graduated from the University of Illinois and served as a center forward. He was selected by the Blazers with the 2012th overall pick in the first round of the 11 draft.

He didn't play well in the Trail Blazers and was traded to the Heat last summer.

As a center, he has a good shooting range. In the last two seasons of the Blazers, he made more than 3% of his 4-pointers. He was right to let go.

But the reality is that as a center, his defense is average, and it can even be said to be a bit bad; he has outside shooting ability, but is not stable enough; as a center, he is not good at protecting the frame and rebounding.

It can be said that except for his looks and 3-pointers, he is not above the average level of NBA centers.

Allen lost the jump ball to White Leonard, the Heat won the first wave of offensive balls, and the game officially began.

Nunn dribbled the ball across half court and organized an offense at the top of the arc.As an undrafted pick in the 2018 class, he was signed by the Heat and is playing very well now.

I have to say that Riley's team is very good at tapping the potential of newcomers, such as Nunn and Duncan Robinson.Both are undrafted, but these two are currently starting in the strong team Heat.

Nunn passed the ball to Jimmy Butler, who held the ball to face his former teammate Wiggins.

Jimmy Butler finally became the boss of the team again in the Heat. After he was traded by the Bulls, whether in the Timberwolves or the 76ers, he was not the core of the team in the true sense.

The Heat dared to give him such treatment, and he also used practical actions to repay the team's trust.

Both were traded by the Timberwolves, but since the two left, everyone has seen what the Timberwolves look like.

Therefore, the two of them are not the main culprits for the inability of the Timberwolves to go further. If the Timberwolves have a poor record, it will clarify for both of them.

Jimmy Butler plays Wiggins with the ball and points to Duncan Robinson, who moves on the weak side.

Duncan Robinson ignored Beaubois' defense when he caught the ball, and he pulled it up directly for a 3-point long-range shot-the ball hit directly!

My dear, this confidence...

The Heat scored first!

The Nets fans at the scene lamented that apart from Korver, no other shooter in the team is as confident as this guy.Beaubois is also very confident, but he is particularly confident when he receives the pass from the beast, and his confidence is not as good as Duncan Robinson when he receives the ball from other players.

Duncan Robinson, undrafted, white shooter.In the NBA, white players with poor physical fitness and playing in the backcourt can easily lose the draft, even if you are in the NCAA.But here, physical fitness and talent are often more valuable in the eyes of those scouts than the data and achievements you have obtained in the past.

Duncan + Robinson, good guy, including the Spurs' twin towers back then, but the man with such a name is actually a thin white shooter.This contrast... is too big.

Holiday came over with the ball, facing Duncan Robinson's defense, and the beast pick-and-roll.

Defending the beast is Adebayor, who is nicknamed "Reba" by domestic fans.

Adebayor is also a player selected by the Heat himself. He has grown up in the team step by step, and is now a representative of the league's small ball insiders.He can protect the frame and switch defenses, can eat cakes and can occasionally play singles. Except for not having a 3-pointer, he is really a very good small ball insider.

But facing the beast, even if he plays the 4th position, he still looks a little small.

Adebayor's movement speed is very fast, his delayed return is very timely, he is a sharp sword when defending pick-and-rolls, and he is a player who is stronger in defense than offense.

Holiday had no chance with the ball and returned the ball to the beast.

The Beast held the ball in a high position, and suddenly made a shift, and the ball was given to Allen at the basket!

Allen catches the ball and makes a hook, but is interfered by Jimmy Butler who helps defend him-miss!

White Leonard grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Jimmy Butler to hold the ball.

Jimmy Butler counterattacked with the ball and followed up with Nunn, who made an emergency stop and made a jumper!

The Heat turned their backs and scored 5 points in a row, leading temporarily!

Holiday came over with the ball and gave it to Wiggins!

Wiggins hit Jimmy Butler hard, but he couldn't shake the opponent away, turned around with continuous fake moves, and didn't turn over for a jumper!

Fortunately, the beast under the basket grabbed the offensive rebound, held high and hit high, forced the basket and put it down successfully, breaking the deadlock for the Nets!

2:5, the Nets trailed by 3 points!

Heat offense, Jimmy Butler was blocked by Allen for a layup-miss!

The beast closed the board, came over with the ball by himself, and followed up with Wiggins!

But Wiggins made a mistake holding the ball and was intercepted by Nunn!

Nunn counterattacked with the ball and divided the frontcourt to Leonard!

White Leonard splits left wing Duncan Robinson again!

Duncan Robinson makes another 3 - no!

but!Jimmy Butler at the basket grabbed an offensive rebound and made an aerial tip!

2:7, the Heat lead by 5 points!
