For the second time in a row, Link crushed the Warriors' dream of winning.
Cole now only feels his scalp is numb. The last player he knows who can forcefully change the trend of the game like this is called Michael Jordan...
Even when he couldn't score easily, Link could change the situation, which cast a shadow over Cole's heart.
At this time, Cole suddenly began to doubt one thing-can Link really be defeated?
Though the thought just passed by, Cole was terrified. He shook his head quickly and threw the terrible thought out of his mind.
Link is just a player, as long as he is a professional player, he will experience failure!
Then why, can't the Warriors fail him?
Cole then picked up the tactical board, and shouted at the low morale players, "All are cheering up, did we lose the game?! Not yet!"
After just two rounds, the Warriors players are morale low. Regardless of whether the two key attacks that must be entered are destroyed, it will feel uncomfortable in my heart.
Therefore, Kerr needs to regain confidence in the players.
"In the last 2.3 seconds, the Grizzlies didn't have any offensive time. As long as we can guard the ball, the game will be dragged into overtime! The Grizzlies are very strong, they are not an easy opponent to defeat. But. We must also tell the Grizzlies that we are not so easy to give up along the way!"
Cole is cheering up the players and at the same time cheering himself up.
Although Link's continuous outstanding performance made the Warriors miss the chance to kill the game again and again, Cole believes the Warriors still have the advantage.
First of all, in the last 2.3 seconds, the Grizzlies' threat is not as great as before. Cole must admit that Green's malicious elbow did give the Warriors an advantage. Otherwise, the game may not be able to hit this step at all.
Now Link is injured. Although I don't know how serious the injury is, what Cole can know is that Link's shooting has been affected.
Next, if the Grizzlies insist on using Link to shoot the lore, then Link cannot be as sure as usual.
What if the Grizzlies use someone else to throw a lore? That's even better!
Link’s personal abilities have allowed him to miss the defense several times and make a brilliant lore. But this kind of ability is not available to everyone.
In Kerr's view, in the last 2.3 seconds, the Warriors have a high probability of defending. If the game enters overtime, the Warriors' advantage is even more obvious.
Link’s injury gets more painful as he drags it out. It is impossible for him to show such a magical defensive performance in overtime.
As long as Link doesn’t make trouble, it’s not a problem for the Warriors to kill the Grizzlies!
Everything seems to be still good, and Cole convinced himself. He firmly believes that his team can survive this.
On the other side, on the Grizzlies bench, the Grizzlies players are more calm than their opponents.
George didn't yell like Cole, because the Grizzlies don't need passion now, on the contrary, they need calmness now.
"Link, how do you feel?" Georg looked at Link who was grinning, his heart ached.
This season, the Grizzlies have been tortured enough by injuries. But no matter how hurt, the Grizzlies will never fall. The reason is simple, they still have Link.
If Link also fell, the Grizzlies would really be embarrassed on all sides.
"I'm fine, it hurts a little bit. Time is running out, let's finish this game first!" Link waved his hand and signaled Georgel to arrange tactics first.
People who believe Carter is ready, besides Link and Carter himself, also include Georg.
He has been prepared for this situation a long time ago. He knows that Link is now unable to shoot efficiently because of his injury, so he is ready to let another person stand up.
"Vince, this time, you are our first choice!" Georgel raised his head and looked at the tough Carter.
Until now, Carter has scored 18 points, which is a record high in this year's playoffs. Among them, Carter made an efficient performance of 4 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line.
From the first quarter of today's game, Carter played very well. He led the team to beat the Warriors in the rotation time. In fact, if it weren't for Green's elbow, everything shouldn't be like this...
It is no exaggeration to say that Carter is the point where the Grizzlies are most confident today from beyond the three-point line. There is nothing wrong with choosing him to execute the last shot.
The 38-year-old and 125-day veteran nodded silently, without saying a word, but the answer was short and direct, "No problem!"
After speaking, Carter looked at Link.
This young man led him all the way to here, once again to the finals.
Now, it's time for him to push Link.
George began to arrange tactics, and everyone was listening carefully.
The harsh electronic buzzer quickly cut through the chilling air in the Oracle Arena, but Carter himself was very surprised that he was very calm and not nervous at all. He didn't even feel excited.
This feeling is completely different from when he faced the same situation in 2001.
Yes, for this moment, for this chance of redemption, he waited for 14 years, 5124 days.
In every training session since 2001, Carter will practice more specifically in the position he missed. Time after time, day after day.
He has been preparing for so long, how can he be nervous?
He is no longer the high-spirited young man at the beginning of the millennium, now he is more mature, more stable, and calmer!
"In the final moment of desperation, both players stepped onto the court! Huh? We saw that the Grizzlies were replaced by Vince Carter and Andre Iguodala at the same time! In other words, the Grizzlies are now All five people on the court have the ability to shoot three-pointers! It seems that Coach Georg wants to give the Warriors more bewilderment!" Mike Brin did not care about Carter and Iguodala. In his opinion, those two The guy is just bait.
Although Link has some shooting problems now, Mike Brin thinks he is still the only option for the Grizzlies.
Cole thinks so too, he doesn't care about other people at all. Iguodala is indeed a key player, and the Warriors desperately wanted him last summer. Who knows, Randolph took the initiative to cut his salary and left Iguodala for the Grizzlies...
But it must be said that Iguodala has never been a scorer.
As for Carter... that's even more impossible. There is no coach in this world who will choose a 40-year-old veteran to shoot the lore!
Even for the Spurs, their key ball now is more for Leonard than for Duncan.
Cole then waved his hand and stared at Link!
Carter looked at the stadium, watching the score on the big screen. As in 2001, once again, the life and death of both parties were decided by him alone.
But everything is different from 2001. This time around, there is a man around him who can always perform miracles. All he has to do is to score a goal.
Just this one!
Iguodala stood on the sidelines, ready to serve a touchline. Before the referee started the game, Link felt like he was being dumped.
"Look at how the Grizzlies will play the sideline ball this time. The sideline ball is a worldwide problem. Just now the Warriors' sideline ball was destroyed by Link."
As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, Iguodala delivered the sideline ball.
Link and Conley took the defense, Harris made a ball-free screen for Carter. In the horrified eyes of everyone, Iguodala handed the ball to Vince Carter!
"Didn't the Grizzlies' tactics come out!? Carter was actually catching the ball!" Mike Brin felt that his head was about to explode. Is it true that he has to play overtime?
Carter didn't think so much~EbookFREE.me~ because he knew that everything was going as planned!
After receiving the basketball, Carter took the ball and walked to his most familiar left corner. The place that gave him nightmares and at the same time gave him motivation.
Livingston chased after him in a panic. He didn't expect Carter to receive the ball. In this regard, Livingston has no preparations!
Carter was very calm, he knew he didn't have much time, but when Livingston pounced, he calmly made a shooting fake.
He succeeded, and Livingston was cheated and flew past Carter. Carter used this time difference to jump up and shoot.
The moment he shot, the backboard glowed red.
14 years ago, in the same position, Carter missed perhaps the best chance to play in the finals.
But today...
The ball scores, the whistle sounds. Vince Carter raised his right arm to shoot the ball, confident and calm on his face.
"Goal in, goal in! Vince Carter, Vince Carter killed the game!"
After waiting for a shot for 14 years, he was finally put in the basket...
