Steve Nash is driving to the Federal Express Arena. In the car radio, almost all local stations in Memphis are discussing the unusual game last night.
"Unbelievable, the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers is astonishing. 24 three-pointers, which is absolutely something that local fans in Cleveland can't imagine."
"The Cavaliers unexpectedly won their first victory in the finals. Before the start of the game, they were not favored. But now, they are also the leader."
"The Cleveland Cavaliers have undoubtedly issued a serious warning to the Grizzlies. No matter how optimistic the Grizzlies are before the game, the victory of the game will not run into their arms."
In addition to broadcasting, the streets of Memphis are also full of posters for this year's finals. The streets are full of fans wearing dark blue Grizzlies T-shirts.
Unknowingly, Nash drove to the entrance of the Federal Express Arena.
Looking at the fans gathered outside the arena and looking at everything facing him, Nash felt a little unrealistic.
This strong atmosphere of the finals is something he has never experienced in his long playing career in the past 18 years.
Unexpectedly, one day, he will also be able to board the NBA Finals stage.
Although he is no longer a player, but as a member of the Grizzlies coaching staff. But for this year's finals, Nash is still very concerned.
This season, Nash has had a great year in Memphis. Although only a member of the coaching staff, Nash is still full of accomplishment as the team progresses all the way.
Especially in the last round of the Western Conference Finals, after he accompanied the Grizzlies to defeat the Warriors coached by Steve Kerr, Nash only felt lucky.
Nash has never won in the Western Conference Finals, and this is the first time this year.
If he agreed to the invitation of his good friend Cole last summer instead of Link, it is estimated that his lifelong dream of the finals would be shattered.
Choosing the Memphis Grizzlies and Link is the most correct decision he has ever made.
So, sometimes a choice can change many things.
"Steve, early!"
"Morning, Steve, I have worked hard today too!"
"Come on Steve, we are only one game behind!"
As soon as Nash parked the car and walked off, many coaches greeted Nash at the same time.
Nash also nodded kindly, and then walked straight to the dressing room.
Nash looked at his hands, then smiled slightly.
Is this how it feels to struggle in the finals?
Half an hour later, Steve Nash appeared on the training ground. He picked up the basketball on the ground and tried to shoot a few.
Although it has been three years since he retired, Nash's shooting feel is still good.
The basketball jumped into the net obediently, and there seemed to be cheers from the fans around.
But soon, the cheers stopped abruptly. There were no tens of thousands of cheering fans in the training ground. It was empty and he was the only one.
Nash shook his head. He was no longer the "Son of the Wind" in Phoenix.
"Steve, early." Just then, Nash heard Link's voice.
"Huh? So early today?" Nash turned his head, and sure enough, it was the guy who came to recruit himself last summer.
"Hey, come and practice three-pointers in advance. Yesterday's game... really exaggerated." After Link finished speaking, he also picked up the basketball on the ground and shot it.
"How is Rachel's situation?"
"Everything is normal." Link shrugged and replied lightly.
"Playing in the finals at this juncture, you are very worried, right?" Nash looked at Link. Most people were probably nervous to death during the time when the child was about to be born.
However, Link did not show any anxiety on the basketball court and in front of the public.
"It's not so much worrying, it's more anticipation. By the way, Steve, what do you think of yesterday's game?"
"My point of view is basically the same as yours. It is almost impossible for the Cleveland Cavaliers to perform like they did yesterday. They are extraordinary performance. But we are different. We did not even exert 100% of our strength yesterday."
While Nash and Link were discussing, Dinwiddie also arrived at the training hall.
Seeing the two big guys who appeared in the training hall early, Ding Weidi became serious unconsciously.
He began to warm up meticulously, and then began shooting practice.
Everything seems to be the same as when the training camp started last summer. Dinwiddie has continued to practice three-pointers every morning for a whole year.
Even in the regular season of this season, Dinwiddie’s three-point shooting percentage has been greatly improved, even if no one dared to easily open Dinwiddie outside the three-point line, he still has not relaxed his shooting practice.
When Dinwiddie shoots, Nash looks very focused.
After all, Dinwiddie’s progress beyond the three-point line cannot be separated from Nash’s guidance.
Although Nash is a player development consultant for the Grizzlies, Dinwiddie is definitely one of his most proud disciples.
Whenever Dinwiddie scores a wonderful goal, especially a three-pointer, Nash on the bench is the most excited and happiest.
can train a defender with a three-point shooting rate of less than 20% into a qualified scorer with a three-point shooting rate of 37.6%. Naturally, Nash has put the most effort into Dinwiddie.
Nash looked at Dinwiddie’s eyes, maybe he has put all his expectations for the finals on Dinwiddie.
Link shook his head and looked away from Nash.
"Spencer!"
After Dinwiddie cast for a long time, Nash suddenly yelled.
"Ok?"
"Let's compare three points, you don't seem to have competed with me yet?"
"What!?" Dinwiddie was obviously a little surprised, and Nash's three-pointer seemed inaccessible to Dinwiddie.
Nash’s career 3-pointer percentage of 42.8% was incredible in that era. In the 07-08 season, Nash even shot 47% of the three-pointers!
Dingwiddie is a little at a loss. He has always used Nash as a teacher, and never thought that Nash could compete after a three-pointer.
"Why, don't you even have the courage to defeat the old man?" Nash joked.
"How is it possible? Come on Steve, let me tell you first, I won't save you face!"
Young man, I really couldn't be excited.
Then, Dinwiddie and Nash started their three-point showdown.
Link did not continue to watch the pair of masters and apprentices "show affection", and returned to his training.
But then again, Dinwiddie’s three-point stability now seems to have improved more than last summer.
Nash is right, the Grizzlies have not yet shown their 100% strength.
In the next game, it's time for the Clevelands to see the Grizzlies' powerful firepower from beyond the three-point line.
※※※
Three days after the first battle of the finals, the second matchup between the two sides continued in the Federal Express Arena.
After the Cavaliers broke the league's three-point record in the last game, today, ESPN played the "Key to Victory" to the Grizzlies at the top of the screen. It was also very simple-limiting the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage.
"Today, the Cavaliers will definitely continue to cause trouble for the Grizzlies from beyond the three-point line. Although the Cavaliers' three-point shooting rate may not be as terrible as the previous game, they can still open up space for LeBron~www .EbookFREE.me~In short, the Grizzlies are still not easy to play in this game. If the Grizzlies lose two consecutive home games, this may become one of the most unpopular finals in history."
Before the game started, Jeff Van Gundy was still worried about the Grizzlies.
But beside him, Mike Brin did not follow Van Gundy's words.
"I believe that Link won't allow that kind of upset, Jeff."
"So, do you really think Link can win four games in a row? He can say after the last game, he wants to win the championship before the child is born."
"I don't know if Link can do it, but I would rather believe that he can."
At the same time on the court, Dinwiddie’s three-pointers during the warm-up period were amazing. Georgel counted, and Dinwiddie had at least forty in a row!
"What's the situation? Are we lucky today?"
"No, that guy just gained confidence." Link patted Georgel on the shoulder and smiled.
Yesterday afternoon, Dinwiddie defeated Steve Nash in 100 three-pointers.
was able to defeat the opponent in his mind like a god, making Dinwiddie fearless.
Link is really looking forward to the Grizzlies' performance from beyond the three-point line today.
Tooth for tooth, it is interesting to pay attention to timeliness.
