忽然中斷的球季,雖然即將復賽,但是因為沒有所有的球隊都會參加復賽,也代表認真玩了接近一整季的fantasy玩家就...收一收吧! 小人物上籃 Let’s Talk Fantasy 的主持人小人物 Jason 對於這樣的閃電關機有什麼感觸? 主持了三個月的 Let’s Talk Fantasy 當podcast主持人的心得如何? 未來有什麼想法?
美國閉關了那麼久,NBA也計畫了那麼久,就在所有事情都規劃好後,Florida的疫情卻是一天又一天的不斷突破新高。到底NBA球季該繼續嗎? 小人物Fu為什麼認為這是一個不好的決定? NBA聯盟如何回應球員們希望持續推動#blacklivesmatter的能量? 主席Adam Silver如何看待外界對於球員和比賽運作安全的疑慮? 身在全世界每天新增病例最嚴重城市之一的小人物Hans, 為什麼認為 "學習和病毒共存"會是未來的"新正常" (the new norm)?
NBA歷史上同時最被注目最會灌籃同時又是最長命生涯的球員,Vince Carter終於在自己的podcast節目上宣布要退休了。這位曾經讓小人物 Hans 厭惡的球員,從早年的灌籃王 half-man half-amazing, 在膝蓋受傷後原本早該包包收一收去中國賺錢,卻持續的蛻變適應,還成了NBA歷史上三分球命中數第六高! 更扯的數據是,VC曾經是1672位球員的隊友或對手,這個數字佔了NBA歷史上所有登錄過的球員 (4509) 的38%!!!! #yeahiplayedwithvc
對於加拿大小人物來說,Vince Carter 最重要的是讓加拿大籃球登上了世界籃球地圖。當年若不是VC在 Air Canda Centre 的驚人表現,不意外暴龍也會如同灰熊般下遷南邦 (lol)。更重要的是,如同Steve Nash所說的,就是因為有Vince Carter 在加拿大家庭的電視上出現,才會有這個世代如Wiggins, RJ, Murray 等年輕楓葉牌年輕球員出現。
在這裡用住在多倫多死忠暴龍支持者 Sam Huang 的 tweet來敘述 VC 對於多倫多還有加拿大籃球的影響:
“VC had a great career & is certainly HOF worthy. He most certainly put Toronto on the map as a Raptor & his impact on Canadian players is immeasurable. I’d like to see his jersey retired as a Toronto Raptor.”
“VC 打了一個偉大的生涯,絕對應該進入名人堂。他在暴龍的期間把多倫多放上了籃球地圖,而他對於加拿大球員的影響是無法測量的。我希望能夠看到他的球衣能夠以多倫多暴龍的身分退休。”

USA co-captain Allen Iverson (Philadelphia 76ers) had never hit a game winning shot in his illustrious playing career until Wednesday night when, with time about out, he dribbled across mid-court and launched a game-wining 40-foot 3-pointer to lift the USA Senior Team (2-1) to an 80-77 victory over Germany (1-1) in front of a sold-out Kolnarena crowd numbering 18,000.
"It felt good when it left my hand, I knew it had a chance," said Iverson of his game winner. "I tried to side step him (his defender) just to get a little bit of space and I got a good look at the basket and fortunately it went in.
"That was my first buzzer-beater ever," added a smiling Iverson who was mobbed by his USA teammates after making the shot.
The Iverson answer was a fitting end to a game that was tight the entire way and one in which NBA All-Star Dirk Nowitzki almost single-handedly kept his country within striking distance. Nowitzki finished the night with a game best 32 points on 13-for-23 shooting overall, while adding 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots.
In a game in which neither team was able to post more than a a six point advantage, the fourth quarter saw the two teams stay within three points of each other the final 10 minutes.
The U.S. entered the fourth quarter trailing 61-60 and was behind 65-63 with 8:40 to play when Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets) scored five consecutive points to spark the Americans to a 68-65 lead with 8:00 to play.
Germany forward and former UNC player Ademola Okulaja made a three to tie the game at 68, and with 5:40 to go, Lamar Odom (Los Angeles Lakers) scored off a pass from Anthony to put the US up 70-68. Germany scored the game's next four points to move ahead 72-70 with 3:30 showing on the clock, but the USA evened the game after Stephon Marbury (New York Knicks) came up with a critical steal at mid-court, then found Anthony on the break for a layup with 1:57 left.
Iverson, in a preview of what was to come, swished a 3-pointer a blink before the shot clock expired to give the US a 75-72 lead with 1:18 remaining. The suspense continued and with 35 ticks left in the game, Nowitzki was fouled on a 3-point attempt and the Dallas Mavericks star made two of the three free throws to close the gap to a single point, 75-74.
Having committed just two fouls in the final quarter, Germany was forced to foul to get into the bonus and made three quick fouls before finally sending Anthony to the line to shoot two with 12.4 showing on the clock. Despite the roar of the frenzied, partisan crowd, Anthony calmly made both free throws to increase the USA lead to 77-74.
But Nowitzki had one more shot in him and pulling up at the top of the key, he watched his 3-pointer fall cleanly through with 3.8 seconds left to tie the contest 77-77.
Tim Duncan (San Antonio Spurs) then inbounded the ball to Iverson around the foul line and Iverson dribbled right, took a dribble across halfcourt and launched his first game winner.
The US offensive effort was headed by Duncan who finished with another impressive all-around effort, scoring a US high 19 points and grabbing a team best nine rebounds. Anthony added 16 points, and Iverson finished with 15. All12 U.S. players scored in the contest.
"It was a great basketball game. Germany played very well and any time you have a Dirk Nowitzki on an opposing team you have a very tough opponent," stated U.S. mentor Larry Brown.
"I think our players really got a lot out of these two games (against Italy on Aug. 3 and Germany Aug. 4). We made a lot of improvement from the game last night, but we have a long, long way to go. I think playing the last two nights is hopefully going to help us as this trip goes along."
The United States will return to the court Friday night in a game against 2002 World Champion Serbia and Montenegro in Belgrade. Friday night's game will be televised by ESPN at 7 p.m. (EDT).
The USA senior men opened their training on July 26 at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Fla., and are pending the 20 days leading up to the start of the 2004 Athens Olympic basketball competition training in Jacksonville; Cologne; Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro; and Istanbul, Turkey, and will play a total of six exhibition games.
Following the game in Belgrade, the USA Senior National Team will conclude its tour in Istanbul, Turkey. Facing Turkey on Sunday, Aug. 8 in an ABC live nationally televised game (2 p.m. EDT), ESPN will show the Aug. 10 (1 p.m. EDT), USA-Turkey game live.
