Reverse Growth Superstar

Carter hit a three-pointer, but this did not attract the attention of the Warriors.

People are admiring Link's unselfishness, his broad passing vision and the accuracy of passing the ball regardless of people.

But few people noticed Whiteside's huge defensive coverage.

And, Vince Cartner worked hard as if he was 10 years younger!

Vince Carter and Link immediately returned to defense after a high-five. The goal just now gave the nearly 40-year-old veteran self-confidence.

Once again, he got the chance to prove himself!

The 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals can be said to be one of the few playoff highlights in Carter's career.

The fight between Carter and Iverson was a classic. These two superstars don't give in to each other. You shoot and I shoot. You play 47 minutes and I play 47 minutes.

In short, even if there is only one soldier and one soldier left, they must fight each other to the last minute, and then suffocate themselves.

Among them, in the third game of the series, Carter was fully fired. He scored 50 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in the audience, and scored 9 three-pointers wildly, hitting 69.2%.

In this battle, he led the Raptors to beat the 76ers by 24 points. Who would have thought? In the eyes of the outside world, a person who usually only dunks, but now plays a three-pointer.

Carter said in an interview after the game: "Many people think I can only dunk, but I hope everyone can realize that I am a very comprehensive player. I can not only dunk, but also pass and shoot. Three points, will break through."

Indeed, in that game, Carter let people see an almighty self. Although the Raptors he led eventually fell into the sand, the 76ers who lost to Iverson in the tiebreaker were eliminated.

But that round of the series is definitely Carter's proud work.

But after that year? People's inherent impression of Carter has returned.

He's just a dunker, and Carter is nothing after the gorgeous dunk bonus.

This kind of prejudice followed Carter through New Jersey, Orlando, Phoenix and Dallas, and now it has followed Memphis.

What's so scary about a "flying man" that can't fly, a "UFO" without power?

The Warriors think so too. They don't defend Carter tightly. In their view, Carter would be replaced by Jimmy Butler in just two rounds.

His only role in playing is to let Butler go down and take a breath.

That's why Link said to Carter before he went on the court, "Run Vince, run as much as you like. As long as you find a chance, I will deliver the ball to you."

As a result, there was just a beautiful goal.

Carter rarely meets people who appreciate his three-point ability, so his way to give back to Link's trust is to score goals!

The difference became 2 points, and the Grizzlies overtook it.

Steve Kerr stands on the sidelines seriously, hoping that the team can get the score back as soon as possible.

This time, when Klay Thompson was about to cut into the penalty area again, he found that the defender had become Link.

"Where do you want to go? Stay still!" Link blocked Clay's cutting path, and he and Carter's defense change were in good agreement.

Just after that round, Carter found himself unable to defend Clay. So he took the initiative to change positions with Link, and he defended himself in front of the young Harrison Barnes.

When Barnes saw that it was the old Carter that he was facing, he was indescribably excited.

"North Carolina Black Hawks" raised his arm actively and got the ball from Curry's hand.

In his opinion, breaking through an old Carter is easy!

The young Black Hawk completely used Carter as an ATM.

Although Carter's athletic ability is indeed inferior to Barnes's, Barnes's intentions are too obvious.

He cocked his ass, and Carter knew what the young man was thinking.

So Carter moved sideways immediately, blocking Barnes' breakthrough route in time.

Barnes was defensively defended by Link and Butler for a whole quarter, and he was already suffocated. Now that he finally got a soft persimmon, he was not willing to let it go easily.

Although Carter blocked the breakthrough route, Barnes forcibly leaned on Carter to kill.

Link shook his head. Barnes probably hadn't heard the phrase "Ginger is still hot".

Barnes suddenly felt that Carter's resistance had weakened, and he smugly thought that he had taken old Carter away and could do whatever he wanted.

But when Barnes jumped to the basket, he was greeted by Hassan Whiteside's stout arms.

"what!?"

Barnes suffered the same thing as Clay Thompson. He just lifted the basketball and was forced to eat a "spicy hot pot."

"For the second time in a row, Hassan Whiteside is really ruthless! Barnes thought for too long and simple, he thought he had broken Carter, in fact, he was only led by Carter into a defensive trap." Hubby Brown certainly saw Carter's tricks.

In the NBA world, old people are not so easy to bully.

Link reached out and received the basketball that was slapped by Whiteside. He turned around and was about to accelerate, only to find that Draymond Green was in front of him!

The distance between the two was so close that Link could even see the drops of sweat on Green's forehead.

I have to say that Green is indeed a good player on the defensive end. Don't look at his mouth wide and mad, but his brain is very clever.

Green ambushed behind Link early, as long as Link directly hits with a little carelessness, he will definitely be a dribbling hit.

If this trick is used on others, Green guesses it will succeed.

But Link is the most distinctive player in the league.

Just when the two sides were about to collide together, Green was surprised to find that Link suddenly stopped!

He overcame inertia and the tilt of the center of gravity, and stopped in place.

In the next second, Link skillfully changed direction one by one, and then instantly changed from static.

Grid only felt a black shadow passing by, and Link, who was still in front of him, disappeared.

"Pretty, Link passed Green who was trying to block the fast break. The action was very smooth and not muddled! Link drove straight in and he broke through the penalty zone!"

With Mike Brin's increased volume, the Warriors players also shrank into the penalty area centered on Link.

For a moment, about a second or two, the Warriors coach Steve Kerr off the court was in a trance.

Link broke through alone, and a bunch of people around wanted to stop it. It's like a pack of hungry wolves leaping towards the lost sheep.

This picture seems to bring Cole back to twenty years ago.

This picture seems to make Link's Grizzlies No. 0 jersey turned into a red No. 23...

As a member of the Bulls, Cole has seen this picture more than once. Every time Jordan breaks through, it will attract several people from the other side.

And what Link and Jordan have in common is that they are not hunted, they are the hunters!

The Warriors' defense shrinks across the board, and Australian center Bogut is even ready to give Link an elbow in the air.

But in the crowd, Link found Carter who was missing a clean one again!

Link's advancing speed is very fast, and Carter is desperate to catch up.

But at the moment of catching the ball, Carter immediately adjusted his breathing, and then steadily shot!

In Game 3 of the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinals, Carter, who scored 50 points and 9 three-pointers, told the world that he was not only a dunk.

And those teams that don't believe it all paid the price!

"brush!"

"For the second consecutive three-pointer, Vince Carter widened the gap! How about defense? How about the Warriors' defense? They actually let Carter shoot two open positions in a row! Or they think Carter is impossible. Threat?"

Hubby Brown spread his arms, the Warriors should give Carter enough respect from beyond the three-point line!

"Vince, good shot!" Link smiled and pointed to Carter. The old trapeze was really unrelenting in the key battle!

Carter's preparation before the game is more than just acting.

Don't ignore any veteran who still has the heart of champions. Their bodies may be getting old, but the heart eager for victory will never stop beating!

On the field, the Warriors players immediately communicated. Obviously, they were really caught off guard.

He was taken twice in a row, and he was shot two three-pointers in a row, which was completely unexpected.

The Warriors have a strong self-adjustment ability. After one goal, they did not rush to the rim without authorization. Whiteside has used two blocks to weave the Grizzlies' no-fly zone.

Curry continued to look for opportunities from beyond the three-point line, but unfortunately, his shot hit the rim several times and then bounced out.

Even Curry can't be successful.

Link took off the rebound and then pushed quickly, giving the Warriors no chance to organize an offense.

Klay Thompson was more honest this time after being joined by Carter. He didn't directly empty Carter, but kept a safe distance from Carter.

The pace of the game became very fast, but the old Carter didn't have the slightest discomfort. He followed a group of guys ten years younger than him.

Link suddenly stopped at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Seeing this, Carter leaned towards Link, and the two hit hands to cooperate!

"Link is actually doing tactics for Carter! It seems that Carter has completely won the trust of his teammates!"

Carter took the basketball from Link, and after a move, he drifted straight to the shot!

Thompson quickly bypassed Link and hurriedly reached out to interfere.

Although it was half a shot late, Thompson was sure that he still interfered with Carter's shooting.

Carter's ball drifted and was disturbed, which was not small. This kind of ball can no longer be played by a player of his age.

Thompson firmly believes that his defense this time is a success! As long as he concentrates, Carter is not a threat at all!

Where's Carter? Being disturbed, he didn't even blink his eyes in the air.

While shooting, he silently shouted in his heart, "My era has not ended yet, kid!"

When he shot, moved his fingers, and pressed his wrists, Carter felt his shots were extremely comfortable.

Basketball slowly across the sky ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ as if pierced through time.

Toronto, New Jersey, Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas...

Although I have gone through so many places, so many failures.

But Vince Carter's story is not over yet, this stubborn old guy will start a new chapter in his career in Memphis.

"brush!"

The basketball entered the net, and nearly 20,000 fans on the scene cheered together!

Klay Thompson shook his head helplessly, he had already achieved the ultimate.

Steve Kerr hurriedly added a timeout, and his plan was completely broken by a "non-threatening" figure.

Carter turned, clenched his fists and twisted his hands for a long time without using the "throttle".

Speed ​​through, gallop freely on the court.
