Cassell faced Mark Jackson and was under a lot of pressure. Mark's characteristics are a bit similar to Cassell's, they both like to post up the opponent's point guard.

But Mark likes to hump his opponent with his butt, and Cassel uses his footwork and unpredictable rhythm to make room. Cassell stepped back step by step under the big butt's greeting and almost fell down.

I saw Mark passing the ball to high center Schmitz. Rashid failed to get into a good position and was taken advantage of by the opponent.

He leaned over and made a small throw. As soon as the ball was released, Williams flew sideways and blocked the shot. With a wonderful block in the opening game, Williams was in great form.

"Rashid, don't hold me back. How did you practice in the summer?" Training with Carter had no effect at all.

Carter grabbed the ball, controlled the tempo, and handed it to Cassel before halftime. Cassel readjusted the rhythm, Mark approached step by step, and the defense was very aggressive.

Larry Bird's face changed slightly when he saw the state of the Nets, "Are the Nets a crazy team? They worked so hard at the beginning of the season."

Carter caught the ball and passed it to Rasheed inside, giving him a chance. However, Rashid didn't feel good at the beginning. Facing the high center with 224, he unconsciously adjusted the height of his shot and failed to hit.

When Williams grabbed the rebound, his elbows naturally spread out, making it impossible for anyone next to him to get close. Pass it forward and give it to Carter. Carter attracted the defense and hung into the penalty area again. Williams received the ball and dunked.

"Boss, that's it, it's great." He felt great. He wanted to fight for every ball and grab every rebound.

Carter pointed at him, smiled, and said nothing. This guy went crazy at the beginning of the season for a big contract. Very good, he must work hard like this inside.

Calipari frowned. The team did not play decent tactics and relied on personal ability to score, which is not a good sign.

Mark is at it again, this time to Reggie Miller, with Carter defending. However, Miller was quite smart. He passed the ball inside, used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Carter, and caught the ball and shot.

Hit, three-pointer.

Larry Bird didn't want to lose the first game he coached. Fortunately, the team played well. Although they failed to score in the first attack, the rhythm came back immediately in the following rounds, and Reggie Miller also showed his ability.

"Reggie is still a bit brave, not as good as Carter." Larry Bird commented in his heart, "If Carter were my player, I would lead the team to win the championship."

Once upon a time, he also wanted to recruit Carter to the team. Unfortunately, after switching to the 10th overall pick, Carter was intercepted by the Clippers and then traded away by the Nets in advance.

The game continues. After the Nets practiced the new tactics, they seemed a little acclimated and lost the rhythm of last season. The first quarter was very stiff and even a bit chaotic. They almost relied on the players' personal abilities to score.

Carter scored 8 points alone, and the team only scored 20 points. Although Reggie Miller only scored 5 points, the team scored 28 points, leading the Nets by a large margin.

Calipali hesitated whether to return to a familiar rhythm first. After thinking about it for a while, he rejected his idea, "We must get through the pain period. The season has just begun, so we cannot surrender immediately."

Then he stood up and got angry at the players, "Is this how you train before the game? What are you playing? Show it to the fans. Which fan likes to see the team fail?"

Calipari's aura is stronger than last season. He was still a rookie last season, but this season he has become a bit of a well-known coach. The head coach is also improving and improving.

The Nets are a young team, and last season's failure stimulated everyone and brought new changes to the team. Facing the Bulls, they could have played better if they had won two games, but they didn't.

The limits of this group of players last season were there and they couldn't break through. This season, everyone has improved, but the rhythm has not yet been established, and the first quarter was very difficult.

Larry Bird roared at the players, "When you play the rhythm, you have to show what you usually train on the court."

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets slowed down their pace and began to think about tactical coordination. The things you usually train on are demonstrated at a slow pace.

Rasheed held the ball to support, and Carter and Kendall Gill ran crosswise. Reggie Miller quickly caught up with Carter, but Carter's running position was more coquettish than him. With a simple reverse run, he had already received the ball.

There is no need to use force to take off, no one is guarding in front of you, and you can easily throw the ball into the net.

"I didn't expect Carter to feel so good off the ball. It seems I still underestimated his talent." Larry Bird sighed secretly. Judging from the reaction just now, this is not Carter's limit, he will be better. If Carter can run without the ball, he will be even more of a threat.

The biggest feeling Carter gave people last season was that he was extremely capable of attacking with the ball, and his breakthrough dunks were extremely hot, even more exciting than a three-point bikini. Unexpectedly, Calipali developed off-ball movement for him, and Carter's threat would be even higher.

"You want to learn from me?" Reggie Miller continued to goad Carter, "Running without the ball is my strong point."

While talking, Reggie Miller suddenly ran outside the three-point line. When the ball arrived, he scored another three-pointer.

"See? That's it." Reggie Miller yelled again.

After provoking Carter, Reggie Miller felt a little weak. He is a well-known trash talker in the league, but they were all personal attacks with no technical content. For example, he yelled "You sons of bitches" to the opponent's bench. ...simply gross.

Larry Bird gave Reggie Miller an all-round transformation, starting with trash talk, making his speech more valuable and artistic. It's a pity that if Reggie Miller wants to yell Bird-type trash talk, he has to burn out a bunch of brain cells first, and then his body can't keep up.

Carter didn't curse directly, cut inside, attracted everyone's defense, and then sent it to the outside. When Cassel had a three-point shot opportunity, Mark was immediately in position. He couldn't shoot anymore and gave it to the bottom foot.

It turned out to be Carter.

Whoosh! Also a three-pointer.

When the ball comes, the ball comes. This is a tacit understanding between Carter and Cassel.

"The connection between UFO and aliens is really beautiful." The on-site commentator was very happy. Carter's name of UFO in basketball gradually became known. After all, he has been working at high altitudes and flying. Cassell looks exactly like an "alien" and is so ugly that he explodes on the spot.

"Did you see it? Reggie, your unique skills are not difficult to learn." Carter asked directly to see who was better at talking trash, "It's time to develop other skills!"

Reggie Miller was a little confused. He wanted to scold someone directly, but he held it back. He had a sense of art. You must have an artistic sense when cursing people.

In the second quarter of the game, the Nets came back to normal and slowly cooperated, scoring a high score of 28 points in the second quarter. However, the Pacers also scored a high score of 28 points, which was a bit useless.

Calipari is very satisfied with the team's performance. Several of the Pacers' high scores were magic goals. The defense was in place, but they still scored. There is no way around it. You have to admit it. The Nets play their own rhythm, which is the most important thing.

Trailing by 7 points, the Nets ended the half.

Carter scored 20 points, 10 points in a single quarter, a very stable performance. Reggie Miller scored 15 points and 10 points in a single quarter. He hit two three-pointers and felt hot.

"If it weren't for the beautiful trash talk, I would still be fucking him, bitch." Reggie Miller felt a little uncomfortable, as if Carter could copy his abilities if he wanted to, which is outrageous.

On the Nets side, the most exciting player besides Carter is Jason Williams. At halftime, he had already completed a double-double, scoring 10 points and 11 rebounds, which was quite impressive.

Rashid couldn't help teasing, "Jason, have you taken medicine? It's so strong."

"A little bit occasionally, no, what the hell, what medicine do I need?" Jason Williams reacted, "Brother, you can't do it. You can't defend yourself, and you need my help. Look, I'm bigger than you." good."

Ben Wallace played 4 minutes, got 3 rebounds, and other statistics were zero. After hearing what Williams said, he looked over with confusion. He feels that Williams is full of energy and competes for every ball. He is the same type of person as Oakley, and it is inevitable that he feels a bit close to him.

As for Rashid, he looks kind-hearted.

"I will work harder. When you are resting, I can guard the restricted area by myself." Ben said, no one cared what he said.

They were all listening to Carter's instructions. In the second half, the team must suppress the Pacers and not give their opponents so many opportunities.

"If you can't handle it, just leave it to me." After the order, everyone responded.

Cassel touched his crotch, which was sore from Mark's impact, "That big butt really doesn't hurt anyone."

Reggie Miller was also mentioning his teammates. As he spoke, he lost his artistry and said, "You idiot, kill the Nets. Needless to say anything else."

Larry Bird shook his head, he really has no talent.

"Do you like watching Carter dunk? If you are a teammate, you will definitely like it. If you are an opponent and they dunk on your head, just pull him down. It's that simple."

The Pacers have a new coach and new tactics. They play very open and the defense has not yet been developed. Larry Bird focused on the defensive tactics.

At the beginning of the second half, they indeed defended against two waves of attacks by the Nets. A 6:2 start.

The basketball was given to Carter, facing Reggie Miller.

"Did you see that? From that position, I will shoot a three-pointer there." Carter reminded Reggie Miller, "And I will hit it."

As soon as Reggie Miller stepped back to defend, Carter dribbled behind his back and pulled him directly across. After waiting for Miller, he dribbled under his hips again and changed direction again, reaching the 45-degree angle just mentioned.

Reggie Miller predicted it in advance, flew up and blocked the shot.

He knew Carter wouldn't joke with him. Unexpectedly, Carter's shot was just a fake. He waited until Reggie Miller flew up, then took the ball back, then watched Miller fall, and then jumped high.

He also leaned back a little, reached the highest point, and shot a three-pointer.

With just the right amount of force, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, just like Liu Yan's career line.

Reggie Miller turned back, looked at the career line, and secretly prayed, "Don't go in...ah..."
