There are three minutes left in the first quarter. For the warriors, three minutes is more than enough to catch seven points.
After the three-point ball is popular in the league, those who used to feel that the huge difference is not worth mentioning at all.
A few years ago, when the Lakers and Celtics played the finals, the score of the whole game was always more than 80 to more than 70. But now? You rarely see a game where both sides didn''t score 100 points.
Defense is strong, scoring is not easy, is the portrayal of the game at that time.
In that rhythm, once a party falls behind by seven or eight points, it will appear very passive.
But now, because the three-point goal has been fully developed, even if a party lags by more than ten points in the game, sometimes it is not a matter at all.
After all, more than ten points is something that can be recovered by a few three-point goals.
Therefore, the 7-point gap is not worth mentioning for the warriors. What''s more, it''s still the case that their lineup strength is dominant on the field.
After the suspension ended and the players from both sides came back, the two teams had staff rotation.
Warrior side, just replaced Kuri with Barbosa, replaced green with Spitz. Livingston, Thompson and Barnes continue to play for the time being. The remaining two main players will come back for them after a minute or two rest.
Take turns, that''s Cole''s seven man rotation.
On the grizzly side, there are more people in rotation than warriors.
Delavidova replaced Conley, igordala replaced Tony Allen, Carter replaced link, and Gasol replaced Harris. In the first five tigers, there''s only one left, Jimmy Butler.
Cole is full of confidence. In his opinion, the Grizzlies'' second team''s most dangerous point is Gasol.
But Gasol no matter how good, he can only in the three seconds zone two minutes to dig in. Such an attack cannot contain the warriors!
Three points is more than two points, which is something even primary school students can count.
As for the outside line of the Grizzlies... Delavidova, igordala and Butler''s three points are not very reliable.
There is only one old man left, but Cole doesn''t think a 40 year old man can play a big role in the game.
Cole thinks he''s going to take this line-up!
The game started again, and everyone thought the warriors were the best. So the live camera also gave link a close-up.
But link in the camera is not anxious. He easily pillows his head on his hands with an expression of "waiting for a good show.".
If it was someone else, Mike brin would have joked that this guy was overconfident.
But link makes that look... Mike brin thinks warriors should be careful.
The warriors scored on their first attack after pausing back, and things seemed to go very well.
Thompson was dislocated in front of and behind delavidova''s face, made a tentative forward stab, and then quickly withdrew from the jump shot.
Delavidova was shaken. He thought Thompson was going to break through, so he stepped back two steps. But as soon as he pulled back, Thompson went straight out of the three-point line and made a decisive jump shot.
In this way, the closure of the Australians was half a beat slower. And this half shot is more than enough for Thompson.
Three point hollow net, this game from the beginning to now, the warriors have not been so comfortable goal.
Cole waved his fist excitedly. He thought he was right. Rotation time, warriors can change everything!
Oracle stadium came to the fans shouting, after a three-point ball, the difference moment is only 4 points.
Now, warriors fans are eager not just to level the score, but to surpass directly.
They believe that as long as we can stabilize the Grizzlies'' strong attack in the first quarter, the rhythm will gradually return to the warriors'' rhythm.
Old Carter looked at the score on the big screen with a serious expression.
He said, he''ll keep the difference for link!
After the Grizzlies attack, the warriors put their defensive focus on Gasol and butler.
Carter clearly saw that Thompson was absent-minded in defending himself. The guy is always thinking about how to defend, but not how to defend the player in front of him.
Pau Gasol mentioned catching the ball from high and back to frame. Spetz and the rest of the warriors got nervous. No one noticed that Carter had slipped to the right side of the three-point line under igordala''s no ball cover.
Gasol pours in, trying to force Spitz.
Spitz can''t withstand the impact of Gasol, not everyone is like Drummond green, can be small and broad.
In an instant, the warriors'' line of defense would shrink. Gasol saw the timing, pushed with one hand and sent the ball to Carter, who was ambushed outside the three-point line.
Thompson came forward to block, but it can be seen that his blocking is not very positive. To Carter this season field average 5.8 points old man, Thompson is not able to lift the strength.He thought that just scaring Carter would be enough to make the old guy lose his sight.
However, in the face of Thompson, who raised his hand and rushed towards him, Carter did not even blink.
He was staring at the basket, at the orange hoop and the slightly swaying net.
In his 17 years of career, he was known as one of the four quarterbacks, but he never played in the finals...
Carter was not willing, he didn''t want his career to end like this.
When he was young, he couldn''t lead the team alone to touch the glory.
But now, he''s playing alongside the greatest star in the league. Once again, he challenges his own destiny with a completely different identity!
And this time, he firmly believes that he can overcome fate!
Old Carter stopped for a second in the air and then took it easy.
His shooting is as smooth as it was ten years ago. People only remember his box blowing performance, but they always ignore the fact that he is a three-point killer.
The basketball went over Thompson''s palm with a high arc. Carter''s shooting arc has always been very high, because such a shot, it is easier to hollow into the net!
"Vince Carter shot, he seemed to want to return Thompson a ball, but..."
before Mike brin said the second half of the sentence, the basketball went straight into the net and hit the net!
Vince Carter made a three-point hit, and he paid for Thompson''s slack!
Mike brin was just going to say, "but it''s not easy for Carter to score in front of the young people now." fortunately, he didn''t say it. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
After the goal, Carter pointed to link on the bench, then hammered his chest several times.
Link stands up excitedly, raises his right arm high and compares three fingers in response.
Mike brin smiles. Yeah, a veteran like Carter may not be able to make a good performance in the regular season.
But in the playoffs, in this critical battle.
You can never underestimate the fighting power of such a man!
The difference changed back to 7, and Cole felt like he was just about to climb the cliff when the Grizzlies kicked him down again.
But even so, most warriors players and fans still don''t take Carter seriously.
Carter did make a good shot just now, but he can''t resist the attack of warriors on his own.
Warriors second attack, this time, Livingston attempts to break through Carter and go to the basket to score.
Although Livingston has also experienced major injuries, but in terms of athletic ability, or older than Carter is better.
In this situation, Spitz pulled Gasol out of the three-point line. Livingston as long as can break through Carter, can easily score under the basket!
Livingston did. He managed to swing Carter away with a quick change of direction to get to the basket.
But Carter soon made it back, sticking it all the way around Livingston, between him and the basket.
So, Livingston broke into the basket and suddenly stopped. Then he raised the basketball and tried to fly Carter with this fake shot.
However, Carter, like the sole of his feet, took root and stepped on the wooden floor! Livingston did not jump that time. When Livingston made the second real move, Carter jumped up in time, and then he jumped!
"Pa!"
Livingston''s layup was blocked by Carter, and the warriors'' attack seemed to fall into a dead end.
"Beautiful cover, although Carter can not jump high, but still can rely on his excellent judgment to complete the defense. Livingston had better not use these crooked ideas in front of Carter. All his tricks are left over from Carter''s playing
While speaking, the Grizzlies'' counterattack has been pushed up.
As soon as dravidova dribbled out of the three-point line, Carter raised his hand and yelled at himself.
Without hesitation, the Australian immediately gave the ball to Carter, who cut from the side.
When Carter got the basketball, he couldn''t wait for him to stop.
Seeing Carter break through the momentum, link can''t help but stand up. That guy, is it difficult to...
Thompson followed Carter, only saw Carter enter the forbidden area, his legs were strong, his arms were high, and his whole body was up to the basket.
Carter clenched his teeth and watched the basket getting closer to him. He felt his body lightened a lot.
Well, I haven''t breathed the air above for a long time...
"boom!"
Carter''s hands slammed and the basket sank a few centimeters under his pull!
Nearly 40 years old flying man, still gliding over the League!
Let go, land, the basket creaks.
Carter gave Thompson a vicious look and turned back.
Cole on the sidelines was stunned. He didn''t expect Carter to be able to make a good cut in the slam dunk. Thompson was also stunned. Watching Carter finish the dunk, he couldn''t believe that he was facing a nearly 40 year old player.His fighting spirit, his level and his desire to win are no less than any young player on the field!
Carter returned to his own half and opened his arms to wait for the warriors to attack again.
Before link comes back, he''ll defend him to death!
