카터 죽이기.

[전인민의 무장화]

가뜩이나 맘에 안드는 트레이드들과 "크리스마스" 때문에 신경질나 죽겠구만,
별의별 소리가 다 나오는군요.

한달전에 있었던 시애틀전에서 카터가 게임막판에 작전을 누설했단 말이 있군요. Tacoma News Tribune에서 그런 소리가 나왔다고 하고요. 시애틀의 신문중 하나인듯 하군요. 카터와 매치업했던 레이 앨런은 모른다고 하지만 다른 선수들 (레지 에반스와 그외)이 그런말을 하고 있었다고 하네요.

카터는 "It's a flare, It's a flare." 이런 소리를 했고 진짜로 랩터스의 마지막 작전은 flare였죠.
flare가 공받으려고 스크린 돌아서 하는 플레이입니다.

보쉬나 로즈는 당연히 말도 안되는 소리라고 일축했지만,
샘미첼의 뉘앙스는 웬지 카터에게 많이 감정이 있는듯한 뉘앙스군요. 카터에게 불신이 있는듯 하군요.
카터는 대답을 거부했고요. 농담이나 적을 혼란시키려는 의도였는지 진짜로 시애틀에게 작전을 누설할 생각으로 말했는지는 모르죠. 진실은 카터와 신만이 알겠죠. 전자라고 믿고 싶군요. 미치지 않는이상 그런짓은 하지 않을테죠.

그리고 타이밍이 너무 좋네요..

Alleged Carter tipoff unrelated to trade: Babcock

Members of the Toronto Raptors have scoffed at a report that Vince Carter tipped off the opposition to a play late in a game last month.
"I think that's a lie," Raptors guard Jalen Rose said following Toronto's 110-99 win over the New Jersey Nets on Sunday. "To be honest it's just so ironic that a statement like that happens to come out a day after the guy gets traded.

"The timing of this is the worst it could be."

Carter was traded to the Nets on Friday night for Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two first-round draft picks.

According to the Tacoma News Tribune, Carter tipped off the Sonics to a play during the final minute of the Raptors' 101-94 loss to Seattle on Nov. 19 in Toronto. With 29 seconds left in the game, the Raptors called a timeout. After returning to the court, the News Tribune reported that Carter said to the Sonics, "It's a flare, it's a flare."

A flare is a common play where a player runs off a screen to catch a pass.

"Telling the other team a play, that's ridiculous," said Raptors forward Chris Bosh. "I refuse to believe that, how silly is that?

"I don't think any player in the NBA would do that, give the other team any kind of advantage in a game-winning situation. That's not professional at all."

Carter was not available Sunday to comment on the report. Through a spokesman, he told the News Tribune, "I'm not going to comment on something as ridiculous as that."

The trade came two days after the Tacoma News Tribune phoned Raptors GM Rob Babcock for a response to the Sonics' claim about Carter.

The first-year GM said the timing of the trade had nothing to do with the phone call.

"I've heard players say things like that numerous times, some say it as a joke or you could say it was a strategic thing, that he decided to mislead them or something," said Babcock. "But I'm not aware of the situation and whether he was joking."

Babcock said he never called the Sonics to investigate the allegations. But he did have harsh words for any player that would give away a play to the opposition.

"If a player was to go down and intentionally tell a team a play that we were definitely going to run, you'd better win the game," Babcock said.

The News Tribune reported that the Sonics bench responded with disbelief to Carter's alleged tip.

Seattle's Ray Allen, who was guarding Carter on the play in question, told the Tacoma paper: "I didn't hear it, but that's what those other guys were saying (after the game), Reggie (Evans) and those other guys. But all I said was, `Why would he do that?' I don't know why he would do that."

Bosh said the report is more a case of people kicking Carter when he's down.

"People are kind of gunning for him, it's unfortunate for him," said Bosh. "I think he just needs to stay positive."

Raptors coach Sam Mitchell refused to speculate Sunday on the truth of the report, but said he would be offended if it happened.

"I think anyone would find it offensive, but we don't know that actually happened, I have no proof other than what someone may have said," said Mitchell.

And now that Carter is a Net, the Raptors coach said there's nothing he can do about it.

"It's just not worth my time to go back and rehash that, it does me no good, I can't get mad at it, I can't go back and replay the play," said Mitchell. "I can't have a takeback. There's nothing we can do about it."

On the play, Carter worked his way up the key with Allen following. Raptors forward Matt Bonner set a screen on Allen for Carter, who then flared toward the opposite corner. Morris Peterson passed the ball to Carter, who was unable to make a clean shot attempt and passed to Bonner, who hit a 22-foot shot from the top of the key.

군에 있을 때 백투백으로 50 찍어주는 뉴스 보고 발라당 했었는데, 그 후의 모습은 수비 안 하기와 부상으로 실망 시키더니... 급기야 태업과 이런 추문에 까지 휩싸이는 모습. 또 하나의 별이 제대로 빛을 발하기도 전에 져 버리는군요. 원래 그다지 좋아하는 선수는 아니지만, 덩크 때문에 잃은 게 너무 많은

Bosh said the report is more a case of people kicking Carter when he's down. 지금 케이스엔 이 말이 딱 맞는듯.

[別天地]

그야말로 카터 죽이기이군요.-_-;

그는 아직 젊습니다.. 별이 지다니요... ㅡㅡ 셈 미첼 끝까지 애들짓이나 하네...

[The Sniper]

방금 ESPN쪽 설명을 들어보니 작전에 대해서 얘기해주는건 도발의 의미로 많이 쓰인다고들 하는군요. 어차피 NBA팀들 막판 플레이는 포진만 봐도 어떤 플레이를 Run 할껀지 다 알수 있다고들 하니까요...경기전부터 시작돼는 엄청난 정보전을 생각하면 그리 심각하게 생각하지 않아도 됄듯..
