For the second time in a row, link shattered the dream of the warriors to win.
Cole just feels numb now. The last player he knows who can change the game with his own force is Michael Jordan...
even though he can''t score easily, link can change the situation, which makes Cole feel a shadow.
At this point, Cole suddenly began to doubt one thing - can link really be defeated?
It was a flash of thought, but it was terrifying to Cole. He shook his head in a hurry and threw the terrible idea out of his mind.
Link is just a player, as long as he is a professional player, he will experience failure!
Why, then, can''t the warrior give him failure?
Cole then picked up the tactical board and yelled at the demoralized players, "cheer up, did we lose the game?! Not yet
After just two rounds, the warriors players were demoralized. It will be hard for anyone whose two crucial attacks are destroyed.
So Cole needs to give the players confidence.
"In the last 2.3 seconds, the Grizzlies didn''t have much time to attack. As long as we can prevent the ball, the game will be dragged into overtime! The Grizzlies are strong. They are not an easy opponent to beat. But we must also tell Grizzlies that we are not easy to give up along the way
Cole is giving the players a boost and he is also boosting himself.
Although link''s excellent performance in a row let the warriors repeatedly miss the chance to kill the game, Cole thinks the warriors still have the advantage.
First of all, in the last 2.3 seconds, the grizzly bear''s threat is not as great as before. Cole had to admit that Green''s bad elbow really took advantage of the warriors. Otherwise, the game may not be able to get there.
Now link has an injury, although I don''t know how serious the injury is, what Cole can know is that link''s shooting is affected.
Next, if the Grizzlies insist on shooting with link, then link''s grasp can''t be as big as usual.
What if the Grizzlies use someone else to throw a winner? That would be better!
Link''s individual ability, lets him be able to ignore the defense several times to throw into the splendid kill. But this kind of ability is not universal.
In Cole''s opinion, in the last 2.3 seconds, the warriors may be able to defend. If the game into overtime, the warriors advantage is more obvious.
Link''s injury drags on the more painful, he can''t have come up with such a magical defensive performance in overtime.
As long as there is no link trouble, warriors want to kill grizzly bear is not a problem!
Everything seemed to be fine, and Cole convinced himself. He is confident that his team will survive.
On the other side, the Grizzlies are much calmer than their opponents on the bench.
Joel didn''t yell like Cole, because Grizzlies don''t need passion, they need calm.
"Link, how are you feeling?" Joel looked at grinning link, and his heart was in a fit of pain.
This season, the Grizzlies have suffered enough from injuries. But no matter how hurt, the grizzly won''t fall. The reason is simple. They have link.
If link also falls, the grizzly bear is really besieged.
"I''m fine. It''s just a little painful. Time is running out. Let''s finish the game first. " Link waved his hand to Joel to set up the tactics first.
Those who believe Carter is ready include not only link and Carter himself, but also Joel.
He''s prepared for this situation for a long time. He knows that link can''t shoot efficiently because of his injury, so he''s ready to let another man stand up.
"Vince, this time, you are our first choice!" Joel looked up at the tough Carter.
So far, Carter has scored 18 points, the highest in the playoffs this year. Among them, Carter outside the three-point line played a 5-for-4 efficient performance.
Today''s game from the first quarter, Carter played very well. In fact, if it wasn''t for Greene''s elbow, everything would not have been like this...
it''s no exaggeration to say that Carter is the most sure point of the Grizzlies outside the three-point line today. There is nothing wrong with choosing him for the final shot.
The 38 year old and 125 day veteran nodded his head in silence, without saying a word more. His answer was short and direct, "no problem!"
After that, Carter looks at link.
The young man led him all the way to here, once again to the finals.
Now, it''s his turn to give link a push.
Joel started to set up the tactics and everyone was listening.
The harsh electronic buzzer soon broke through the chilling air in the Oracle arena, but Carter himself was very surprised that he was calm and not nervous at all. Not even the feeling of excitement.This feeling is quite different from that when he faced the same situation in 2001.
Yes, for this moment, for the chance of redemption, he waited for 14 years, 5124 days.
In every training session since 2001, Carter has been training for the position he lost. Again and again, day after day.
How could he be nervous after so long preparation?
He is no longer the high spirited young man at the beginning of the millennium. Now he is more mature, more stable and more calm!
"In the last desperate moment, both players stepped into the court! Ah? We saw Vince Carter and Andrea igordala on the Grizzlies at the same time! That is to say, now the Grizzlies on the field of five people have three-point shooting ability! It seems coach Joel wants to give the warriors more bewilderment Mike brin didn''t care about Carter and igordala. In his opinion, they were just bait.
Although link has problems shooting, Mike brin thinks he is still the only choice for the Grizzlies.
Cole thinks the same thing. He doesn''t care about anyone else. Igordala is a key player and the warriors were desperate for him last summer. Who knows, Randolph took the initiative to cut his salary and left igordala for Grizzlies...
but it must be said that igordala has never been a scorer.
As for Carter... That''s even more impossible. There is no coach in the world who would choose a 40 year old veteran to throw the best shot!
Even for the Spurs, their key shots are now more in Leonard''s hands than in Duncan''s.
So Cole waved his hand and stared at link!
Carter looked at the court, at the score on the big screen. Once again, as in 2001, the decision of life and death for both sides is in his own hands.
But everything is different from 2001. This time, he has a man who can always create miracles. And all he has to do is just throw a goal.
That''s it!
Igordala stood on the sideline, ready to serve the side line. Before the referee started the game, link felt like he was being made dumplings.
"Take a look at how the Grizzlies will play the sideline ball this time. The sideline ball is a worldwide problem. Just as the warriors'' sideline ball was destroyed by link."
As soon as Mike brin had finished speaking, igordala sent out the touchline.
Link and Conley took the defense and Harris gave Carter a no ball cover. In the eyes of everyone''s astonishment, igordala handed the ball to Vince Carter!
"Grizzly''s tactics didn''t come out!? It''s Carter who catches the ball Mike brin feels like he''s going to blow his head out. Is it really going to take extra time?
Carter didn''t think that much because he knew that everything was going according to plan!
After receiving the basketball, Carter carried the ball to his most familiar left corner. The place that gave him nightmares, but also gave him motivation.
Livingston panicked to catch up, he really did not expect Carter to receive the ball. Livingston was not prepared for this!
Carter was calm. He knew he didn''t have much time, but when Livingston came up, he calmly made a fake shot.
He made it. Livingston was cheated and flew past Carter. Carter took advantage of the time difference to jump and shoot.
He shot the moment, the rebound on the red light.
Fourteen years ago, in the same position, Carter missed perhaps the best chance to play in the finals.
But today...
the ball went in and the whistle went. Vince Carter held up his right arm and his face was full of confidence and calm.
"The ball is in, the ball is in! Vince Carter, Vince Carter killed the game
After waiting for 14 years for a shot, he was finally put into the basket www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
