Chapter 424: The end of an era (5K)

On March 27th, the Lakers ushered in the last game of the season with the Nets.
Wang Hao knew that this would be Carter’s last clash with the Lakers in the Nets, and it was also the beginning of Carter’s decline. In his memory this season, Carter averaged 20 points per game. After the transfer to the Magic next season, he will directly decline. After averaging 16.6 points per game, it declined year after year, and finally fell directly from a super giant to an all-out crowd.
This season can be called the last swan song of Carter's peak. Both are the four major shooting guards. Now only Kobe can maintain a stable competitiveness. McGrady has already been destroyed by injuries, and AI is also sitting on the bench for the Pistons. Now there is still one stop for Carter to come to an end. Although Carter was still active on the field when Wang Hao crossed, he has become a veteran, a veteran who still insists on his dreams, and a veteran who does not help the team much. .
In addition to his own attitude, Carter's situation is also related to his own attitude. Another reason is that Uncle Bao's black feet directly put Carter out of the shadow. Kobe himself admits that he is the worst talent among the four shooting guards. Yes, now there is indeed only the worst talent and competitiveness, but I have to admit that Kobe is indeed the most diligent.
"Old man, the game is up to you."
Wang Hao patted Kobe on the shoulder, this kind of duel between top shooting guards, to see one less one, the league has entered the forward era, and Kobe and Carter are really rare in the future.
Kobe nodded solemnly, he still attached great importance to Carter.
This game is destined to be a battle between the two major points. After winning the jump ball, Wang Hao honestly took up the blue-collar job.
Carter directly approached Kobe, which seemed to have become an unwritten rule, just like playing the Lakers, Gu Ge, and Wu Huang directly approached Wang Hao, Carter, and McGrady directly approached Kobe.
The two superstars who propped up half the sky did not spray those useless trash talk, just like old friends for many years, looked at each other, and then started offense and defense.
Kobe still played the first ball in the way he is most familiar with, and the way his opponent is most familiar with.
Leaning on Carter, Kobe began to play singles.
Swinging his shoulders left and right, Carter remained unmoved, and Kobe didn't expect to be able to shake Carter away in this way. This action is more like turning around for a better rhythm, making a beautiful shot.
Huh!
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Carter looked the same, because Kidd's extinguished fighting spirit burned again, rare, directly asked for the ball, and signaled to pull it away.
"Among the four major shooting guards, the only two remaining at the top, are there going to be a big showdown in this game?"
Barkley booed.
"Charles, calm down, this is the only highlight of this game, and it's also the reason why you strongly demand to explain this game, isn't it?"
Kenny Smith said, I have already understood your thoughts, and Barkley really came with that thought.
Carter's body gives people a strong feeling. Although he is as tall as Kobe and weighs only four kilograms, it is obvious that Carter is thicker than Kobe.
Excellent physical fitness allows Carter to break through without too much bells and whistles, relying on his body to carry Kobe's breakthrough, suddenly boosting Kobe's step, an emergency stop jumper succeeded.
Kobe was unmoved, this situation was as early as he expected, after all, the gap of 4 kg is not small.
After receiving Sun Dasheng's pass, Kobe looked for this opportunity from outside the three-point line, looking at Wang Hao, Carter quickly moved a step to guard Wang Hao's pass.
Kobe suddenly moved sideways and shot a three-pointer.
Carter followed quickly, even though his hand had been sealed to Kobe's eyes, he still couldn't stop Kobe's shot.
Huh!
Go in again.
In front of Kobe, Carter quickly dribbled the ball under his hips. Although Carter's dribble is not as easy as AI and Irving, he is definitely better than CXK, and Kobe is waiting.
Failed to mobilize Kobe's center of gravity, Carter directly chose to break through from the right.
Kobe followed, and Carter retracted his stepped foot in one step, and a dry three-pointer came.
Huh!
Carter did his part and returned.
"NB!"
Wang Hao had to compliment.
In his memory, the most impressive thing about Carter is the dunk and the years in the Raptors. After leaving the Raptors, the news about Carter has become less, and Kobe’s reputation is indeed soaring, in Wang Hao’s perception. In the middle, Carter is not as good as Kobe, at least not as long as Kobe at the peak, and not as strong as Kobe. I did not expect Carter to give Wang Hao a big mouth with his actions today.
"Kid, get it! At that time, the one who made a name for himself had a simple one?"
"cut!"
Although he was dissatisfied, Wang Hao agreed with Kobe's words in his heart.
After all, Carter and Kobe are also people who came from the era of the old gangster. As a shooting guard, how could they not have a unique skill.
Bryant called Gasol over to pick and roll and suspended the duel between the two.
After the pick and roll, Kobe broke through to attract the defense and directly passed the ball back to Gasol outside the three-point line. Gasol found Wang Hao by virtue of his height and vision, and threw the ball to the basket.
The center of the Nets, rookie Brook Lopez saw the ball and was determined that he would not be able to catch the ball, and then his eyes widened, just like seeing a ghost.
Standing behind him, Wang Hao jumped up high in the direction of the ball, caught the ball directly, and pressed it into the basket from behind his head.
"Really, how can you jump."
Lopez sighed.
Carter also chose to assist his teammate when he received the ball. He first gave Lopez. As a rookie, Lopez has undoubtedly become the most stable point in the Nets this season. As a rookie, he has 13+8 points per game, which is very complete. It met the Nets' requirements.
Lopez tried to beat Wang Hao twice. Wang Hao was not moved at all. The clever Lopez knew that he couldn't do anything. He divided the ball into the hands of Ryan Anderson, who was on the bottom line, and Anderson, who slipped to the outside with the help of his teammates, got enough. Space to shoot.
Aiming at Blue, Anderson made a three-pointer.
DUANG!
After hitting the iron, Wang Hao took angrily.
Anderson once squeezed Alian to the starting lineup and scored in the Pelicans. The white three-pointer who was given a big contract by Mosaic was the man. Anyway, Wang Hao’s biggest impression of this man is to shoot three-pointers by the side of the beard. Defensive defense is not good. No rebounds, three-pointers are often not allowed, and finally sold at a low price by Mosaic.
Now Anderson has developed a three-point ability, his shot is still so slow, and it always gives people a feeling of weakness in the future, just like kidney deficiency.
Wang Hao couldn't help but began to sympathize with Carter. As a power forward, the most rebounding season was the 11-12 season. With the Magic and Howard, he averaged 7.7 rebounds per game.
Emmmm~~
How to say?
That's Howard's side, most of the team's defensive focus is on Howard, to pick up 7.7 rebounds.
And he is farther from the basket than Carter. Please, this is an inside player.
Kobe and Carter can be called a bright moment, Carter holds the ball, Kobe keeps up.
"I really envy you for having such a good teammate."
Carter said enviously.
"You used to have it."
...
The two fell silent for a short time. Compared with McGrady, the two were lucky. At least two of them can run unscrupulously on the court. They are still the core of the team, but McGrady...
Although McGrady is still averaging 15 points per game this season, he has only played 35 games this season. Injuries have completely destroyed him. With a mosaic of urine, McGrady, who has a contract year, will definitely be traded. ,I am afraid....
Although sighing, life will continue, and the game will have to be won.
Carter erased the distracting thoughts from his mind and focused on the person opposite.
Lopez ran out of the pick and roll, and Wang Hao changed his defense against Carter without any suspense. When he was about to turn around to follow, he was suddenly blocked.
Anderson, Anderson came out to block Wang Hao, Gasol changed defense.
Damn it!
Gasol's speed is not a little bit slower than Carter. Carter faced an empty basket and completed the attack with a big windmill.
Although this is the Lakers' home court, the generous Lakers fans are not hesitating to cheer Carter's dunk.
Could it be that the fans are tired of watching Wang Hao's straight dunk?
If Wang Hao chased the ball, he would still be able to catch up. After all, it would be impossible for Anderson to completely block Wang Hao, but Wang Hao also wanted to see what Carter, who was called a half-man, half-god, could look like in actual combat.
Carter did not arrogantly celebrate when he landed. He just raised his finger to the fans and thanked the fans. After all, this is Los Angeles. The fans cheered for the face. Is he really screaming?
Kobe's face is a bit unsustainable, this is his chassis, is this being overwhelmed by others?
"Boy, dunk one, I don't care how to dunk it, but it's more beautiful than that ball."
Kobe's high coldness lasted only half of the game, and now he has begun to call on Wang Hao.
"If you have the ability, go by yourself. If you have nothing to do, you know to instruct me."
After mumbling to the three-point line, receiving a pass from Kobe and giving him a pick-and-roll by the way, Wang Hao second turned into a smiling face.
"Yeah! It smells so good."
With the help of a pick-and-roll, Wang Hao took a big step and directly left Lopez and Carter behind him.
Lopez was throwing it away, but Carter didn't seem to want to follow him at all. Whatever happened to him, he had already reached the basket, and the glide distance was not enough. Wang Haofu felt very spiritual, and suddenly remembered that he dunked every one of his mouths when watching the highlights in his previous life.
With a bang, Wang Hao landed, turning around 720 degrees in the air and dunking for a slam dunk. A gymnastic movement was used by Wang Hao in basketball.
The audience was silent, and even the Nets opened their mouths wide, with a face of disbelief, and Carter felt like he was born.
After a brief period of silence, there was a tsunami of cheers from the stadium. This Nima was a real battle. Wang Hao was like a spinning top, spinning around the basket, spinning around twice.
Barkley opened his mouth wide as if he could fit a basketball.
"Kenny, I'm not mistaken? Two turns?"
Barkley stared blankly at his partner.
"No, that's right, 720-degree dunk in actual combat."
"Then what are you talking about, it's getting dry, old iron."
Barkley received an affirmative answer, and screamed in the studio directly after changing the innocence.
"This ball is destined to be remembered by history."
Kenny Smith whispered.
Although this ball has no background board and is not a button, is it important? Who has objections to dunk me in the dunk contest?
What Wang Hao didn’t know was that just a few minutes after the dunk, the animation of his dunk went viral on major websites. Some dunkers who watched the ball at home took the basketball and walked into the training hall without dunking. Coming out and vowing not to go home, Wang Hao invisibly caused a wave of training craze, but why was he practicing dunking?
"The talent is so good, I really envy it."
Carter said in a predecessor's tone.
"Indeed, his talent is better than anyone, anyone who has appeared in the NBA."
"So you are lucky."
Carter said sourly.
"Luck? No matter what, you can win."
Kobe comforted himself so much in his heart that there is no doubt that the championship trophy can't be broken. If there is, then 2, 3, ... 7, 8, 9, 10.
Wang Hao's dunk successfully attracted his attention. What four major shooting guards are fighting against each other, can they turn around and dunk at 720 degrees?
The game continued, Carter of the Buddhist family had no intention to compete with Wang Hao, and Wang Hao did not intend to compete with Carter, because today's protagonist is Kobe.
The collision between Kobe and Carter can be called the strongest guard showdown in the contemporary era. The bodies of the two are tangled together, and their arms are entangled, giving people a taste of the scene 10 years ago.
Carter carried Kobe forward to the basket, a very beautiful drawbar, and Kobe's blocked shot was avoided to score the ball.
Kobe glared at Wang Hao, blaming Wang Hao for not coming to help defend.
"Aren't you two real men 1V1?"
"I want to challenge him heads-up. Will we go to the arena after the match?"
...
Silent Wang Hao opened the defensive gate mode and erected an insurmountable barrier on the inside.
I, Wang Hao, even if I carry Lopez on my back and press Anderson with my hands, there is still no one on the inside. Tyrant's Road, Shop with Bone, etc. are all my resources for striding toward the Great Britain.
Kobe touched Wang Hao's head and said approvingly: "My son Wang Hao is indeed invincible."
Gasol cast a glance at Wang Hao, who was in the second grade, and ran out to give Kobe a pick-and-roll, fearing that he might contract second grade after staying inside for a long time.
Kobe didn't even look at Gasol, his eyes were always fixed on Wang Hao, to see that Wang Hao really carried Lopez on his back and passed the basketball directly.
He also shouted cooperatively: "Don't panic, boy, help you for your father."
"Huh! Now that weapons are available, what are you using to compete with me?"
Lopez: "What the hell? Did the Lakers get sick collectively?"
Squeezing Lopez away, Wang Hao made a dunk dunk firmly.
Although Wang Hao's button was very good-looking, Gasol still turned his face away. It was really embarrassing for this guy. The small one was not serious, and the old one followed suit.
Although Wang Hao and Kobe communicated in English, Lopez didn't have enough Chinese knowledge and couldn't understand it without Wang Hao's influence, but one thing is certain, the two must take him for fun.
Yao, in a suit and leather shoes, wanted to laugh and was embarrassed. He couldn't hold back if he didn't laugh. He had to pretend to drink water from the empty cup, and then there was a burst of cheerful laughter.
"What are you talking to him?"
Carter asked.
"Nothing, coax the kid"
Kobe made a perfunctory sentence, putting his mind on Carter, and at the same time he thought: "My son, I can only help you guard this first level as a father, and you will leave the rest to you."
I have to say that Kobe didn't have to be neighbors with Hollywood for nothing, this drama is enough.
Carter did not take advantage of Kobe, and started directly.
Kobe followed his defense to the free throw line and released him to Wang Hao.
Carter met Wang Hao, raising his long arm to buckle.
"Come down on you."
Wang Hao shouted, and his big hand directly covered Carter.
Carter is known as the strongest buckle player, the person who combines strength and beauty, and just look at Carter’s muscular forearm to know how powerful Carter’s buckle is.
"hiss!"
From the sidelines, they made a sound of air-conditioning. It was true that the two men jumped too high, and their heads had already surpassed the basket.
Wang Hao's hand has been covering Carter's ball. Finally, relying on his young and strong body, he directly pressed Carter down. Wang Hao, who landed, also took two steps back and hit the basket with his back.
"Yes, you are still the first person who can shake my defense."
Although Carter was turned over by his hat, it did not delay Wang Hao's performance. According to the script, the next ball, Wang Hao should shout: "Kobe save me"
Carter, who was dragged by his teammates, cast a glance at Wang Hao and said nothing.
"Take it easy, after all, that's your Carter's corn"
Obviously Kobe hasn't played yet.
...
Wang Hao's hat seems to have directly lost Carter's spirit, no longer the fighting spirit at the beginning, and he can pass by defending Kobe, without the feeling of fighting.
"what happened?"
Wang Hao asked Kobe.
"Maybe you know that you can't win even if you work hard."
To be honest, Wang Hao doesn’t understand Americans. As a cross-border boy, in China, whether it is family members, friends, or colleagues, all he says is cheering, hard work, and struggle. In the United States, it’s like Carter’s situation. It seems very common, and there are a lot of ~EbookFREE.me~ It makes sense. In China, if you have Carter's talent, believe it or not, you will be trained to death by the coach.
Carter scored 12 points in the first quarter, and only scored 8 points in the next game, which is seriously inconsistent with his strength and reputation. Compared with Kobe, although he was off work in three quarters, he still scored 34 points steadily. .
Wang Hao didn’t say anything about Carter’s situation. After all, everyone has the right to choose their own lives, and there are a lot of people who have fallen after getting a big contract in the NBA. There are definitely more inspirational models than reported. After all, This is also the norm.
After the game, Wang Hao and Kobe attended the press conference.
"Wang Hao, did your 720-degree turn dunk during the game intentionally?"
"Of course not, my friend, in that situation there is no chance to think too much, just do it casually, I just feel like I can turn around one more time?"
Today's protagonist is Kobe, the reporter politely asked Wang Hao and then pointed the microphone directly at Kobe.
"Does Kobe have anything to say about today's matchup with Carter?"
"Yeah! It's good, it feels very good to be able to confront old friends."
Hearing the lack of Kobe's nature, the Zen master waved his hand and took the two directly away.
"The season is about to end, and it's time to shine."
Wang Hao stretched lazily.
"Don't drop me the chain in the playoffs"
"Yes"
On the way home, Wang Hao's heart was very restless. Not surprisingly, Carter's state began to decline next season, and it was still a cliff-like decline, with a very rapid decline.
Looking at Kobe while driving, the four shooting guards ended up leaving Mamba alone. Although Carter was still active on the court until 2019, he has already
