Seeing these two photos, do you feel inexplicably similar? This photo of Vince Carter was taken in 2005, and it can be said that foreign photographers are very careful about the details: the top left corner is placed in the championship trophy of the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest. Next to the trophy are classics such as The Art of Dunking and Flight Dynamics. It's just that Carter's expression is slightly unhappy. As of December 29, 2005, he had only 634231 votes in the second round of the 2006 NBA All-Star Round, behind Iverson and Wade in the NBA Eastern Guard competition. In the league he was actually squeezed out of 10 places. In the five years from 2000 to 2004, he won the title of All-Star King for 4 terms.
The 2005 Chinese music sales champion was Jay Chou's Chopin in November. Since 2002, he has won the championship for 4 consecutive years. Interestingly, "Fantasia", which made him famous in the first world war, ranked second after Sun Yanzi's "Kite" in 2001. 现在看来，文斯-卡特在2000年扣篮大赛上的封神表现真的可以用《Fantasy》（范特西）来形容了。
There are many reasons for the decline in Vince Carter's popularity, of which injuries are one of them. But the most crucial thing is his attitude after the injury. In 2003, instead of going with the team to Atlanta to cheer on the team during his injury, Carter ran to rapper Nelly's concert and was a guest, not only dancing on stage, but also throwing a few of his own jerseys to the stage to pull the atmosphere. The team's performance was terrible, the star did not help the team to cheer up and ran to play by himself, and the Toronto fans were very dissatisfied with Carter's performance. In that year's All-Star vote, Bryant took the only All-Star vote king from Carter in the five years from 2000 to 2004 with a three-game winning streak. This is not unrelated to the negative press after his injury.
In addition to injuries, technical playing style is also a major factor restricting his progress. Everyone knows that in the NBA than dunks, he recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first. But the game can not be solved by dunking alone, and the scoring ability of the siege is an important criterion for measuring whether a player is good.
Carter's scouting report had an advantage: when he wasn't in an empty position, he wouldn't force himself to shoot and he knew how to adapt to the game, which was very important for adapting to NBA games. The scouting report is only half right, and if Carter is the second in command of the team, then this feature is undoubtedly the perfect puzzle for the team. But he was the number one on the team, and the Toronto Raptors at the time were centered on him to launch the offense. That is to say, he has unlimited firing rights in the team. But he lacked Michael Jordan's courage to face the odds and the perseverance to fight the bayonet with his opponents. Also as the team's offensive firepower point, Iverson, Bryant and Maddy have all done better than him.
The individual's offensive firepower is not strong enough, coupled with injuries, the team's record is poor. Toronto fans and team management gradually lost faith in Carter. At this time, the arrival and growth of Chris Bosh strengthened the team's determination to trade Carter. It was this less pleasant trade that became a turning point in Vince Carter's career.
On December 17, 2004, Carter moved to the New Jersey Nets to form the New Jersey Trident with Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson. At the 2005 NBA All-Star Game, fans shifted their focus from the scoring competition of the big four quarterbacks to the center battle between Yao Ming (the ticket king) and O'Neal. Carter is no longer the most talked about player in the All-Star vote. Even so, he occupied the position of NBA Eastern Conference All-Star starting guard.
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave, and in 2003, the NBA Platinum Generation turned out. Like Vince Carter of the year, these physically explosive rookies silently plumped their wings. After three years of dormancy, in the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, Dean Wade finally squeezed Carter out of the NBA Eastern All-Star starting position with the blessing of O'Neill's East Tour miami. As mentioned earlier, although Carter did not have the bloodthirsty instincts of Kobe And Iverson. But when he feels hot, he can also play amazing games.
On February 4, 2006, I don't know if Wade stole his All-Star starting position, carter was very energetic as soon as he played the Heat. After scoring 51 points against the Heat in the last game, Carter extinguished the Miami blazing Heat with his second career triple-double. Heat coach Parker Riley shook his head and said, "We can't stop Carter, he's a great player." Unfortunately, this is just a regular season game. In the playoffs that same year, the Heat and nets met in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals. The 1-4 overall score proved the gap between the strengths of the two teams, the Heat won the NBA championship that year, and Dean Wade was also named the Finals FMVP with his super-god performance. From then on, the all-star (starter) era belonging to Vince Carter came to an end. (End)
