Steve. Nash was driving to the Federal Express Arena when almost all local Memphis stations were talking about last night's unusual game.

"It's incredible, the Cleveland Cavaliers are amazing. 24 three-pointers, which is definitely something that Cleveland fans would not dare to imagine. ”

"The Cavaliers unexpectedly won their first game of the Finals, and they were the underdog before the game began. But now, they are also on the lead. ”

"The Cleveland Cavaliers have undoubtedly issued a serious warning to the Grizzlies that no matter how much the Grizzlies are favored before the game, the game won't run into their arms on their own."

In addition to the radio, the streets of Memphis are also full of posters for this year's Finals, and the streets are full of fans wearing Grizzlies dark blue T-shirts.

Before he knew it, Nash drove to the door of the Federal Express Arena.

Looking at the fans gathered outside the arena, looking at what he was facing, Nash felt a little unrealistic.

This rich atmosphere of the finals is something he has never experienced in his long career as a player in the past 18 years.

Unexpectedly, one day, he would be able to appear on the stage of the NBA Finals.

Although no longer as a player, but as a member of the Grizzlies coaching staff. But for this year's finals, Nash is still very concerned.

It's been a great year for Nash in Memphis this season. Although he is only a member of the coaching staff, Nash is still full of accomplishment after watching the team go all the way.

Especially in the last round of the Western Conference Finals, he accompanied the Grizzlies to defeat Steve. After Kerr coached the Warriors, Nash could only feel lucky.

Nash has never won in the Western Conference Finals, and this year is the first time.

If he had agreed to the invitation of his good friend Kerr last summer instead of Link, it is estimated that his dream of the finals in this life would have been shattered.

Choosing the Memphis Grizzlies and Link was the best decision he ever made.

So, sometimes a choice can change a lot of things.

"Steve, morning!"

"Morning, Steve, it's been a hard day!"

"Come on Steve, we're just one game behind!"

As soon as Nash parked his car and walked down, many of the coaching staff greeted Nash at the same time.

Nash nodded kindly, and then walked straight to the locker room.

Nash looked at his hands, then smiled.

Is this what it's like to fight in the finals?

Half an hour later, Steve. Nash showed up on the training ground. He picked up the basketball on the ground and tried to shoot a few.

Although he has been retired for three years, Nash's shooting touch is still good.

The basketball obediently jumped into the net, and the cheers of the fans seemed to be resounding all around.

But soon, the cheers came to an abrupt end. There weren't tens of thousands of cheering fans in the training ground, it was empty, and he was alone.

Nash shook his head, he was no longer the "Wind Child" in Phoenix.

"Steve, morning." Just then, Nash heard Link's voice.

"Huh? So early today? Nash turned his head, and sure enough, it was the guy who had come to recruit him in person last summer.

"Hey, come and practice your three-point shot in advance. Yesterday's game...... It's an exaggeration. After Link, he also picked up the basketball on the ground and threw it.

"How's Rachel doing?"

"Everything works." Link shrugged and replied lightly.

"It's a lot of worry to play the finals at this juncture, right?" Nash looked at Link, most of them were probably nervous to death when their children were 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 about worrying as it's about anticipation. By the way, Steve, what did you think of yesterday's game? ”

"I'm basically on the same page as you, the Cleveland Cavaliers are almost impossible to play like they did yesterday, they are going overperforming. But we are different, we didn't even play 100 per cent yesterday. ”

While Nash and Link were discussing, Dinwiddie arrived at the gym.

Seeing the two bigwigs who appeared in the training hall early, Dinwiddie unconsciously became serious.

He meticulously began to warm up and then began shooting practice.

It didn't look like it was at the start of training camp last summer, and Dinwiddie had been working on his threes every morning for a whole year.

Even though Dinwiddie's three-point shooting percentage has improved greatly in the regular season this season, even if no one dares to easily let Dinwiddie fly outside the three-point line now, he still hasn't relaxed his shooting practice.

When Dinwiddie was shooting, Nash was particularly focused.

After all, Dinwiddie's progress beyond the three-point line is inseparable from Nash's guidance.

While Nash is a player development advisor for the Grizzlies, Dinwiddie is definitely one of his proudest disciples.

Whenever Dinwiddie scored a brilliant goal, especially a three-pointer, Nash was the most excited and happy off the bench.

Being able to train a guard who shoots less than 20 percent from three-point range into a qualified scorer who shoots 37.6 percent from three-point range, Nash has naturally put the most effort into Dinwiddie.

Nash looked at Dinwiddie with the look in his eyes, and maybe he had pinned all his expectations for the Finals on Dinwiddie.

Link shook his head and looked away from Nash.

"Spencer!"

After Dinwiddie pitched for a while, Nash suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

"Let's make a three-point comparison, you don't seem to have compared with me yet, right?"

"What!?" Dinwiddie was visibly surprised that Nash's three-pointer was untouchable in Dinwiddie's eyes.

Nash's career 42.8 percent three-point shooting percentage was incredible in those days. In the 07-08 season, Nash even shot 47% from three-point range!

Dinwiddie was a little overwhelmed, he had always regarded Nash as a teacher, and never expected to be able to compete with Nash after the three-point shot.

"Why, don't you even have the courage to defeat the old man?" Nash smirked.

"How is that possible? Come on Steve, I'll start with it, I'm not going to save face for you! ”

Young man, he really couldn't be excited.

Dinwiddie and Nash then started their three-point showdown.

Link didn't continue to watch the pair of masters and apprentices "show affection" and returned to his own training.

But then again, Dinwiddie's three-point consistency seems to be a bigger improvement now than he was last summer.

Nash is right, the Grizzlies haven't played 100 percent yet.

In the next game, it's time for the Cleveland people to see the Grizzlies' powerful firepower from beyond the three-point line.

※※※

Three days after the first match of the finals, the second matchup between the two sides continued at the Federal Express Arena.

After the Cavaliers broke the league's three-point record in the last game, today, ESPN's "key to victory" to the Grizzlies at the top of the screen is also very simple - limiting the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage.

"Today, the Cavaliers will certainly continue to cause problems for the Grizzlies from beyond the three-point line. While the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage may not be as terrible as the previous game, they can still open up space for LeBron. In short, the Grizzlies are still not easy to play in this game. If the Grizzlies lose two consecutive home games, it could be one of the most upset finals in history. ”

Before the start of the game, Jeff. Van Gundy is still worried about the Grizzlies.

But next to him, Mike. Brynn didn't follow Van Gundy's words.

"I'm sure Link won't allow that kind of big upset, Jeff."

"So, do you really think Link can win four in a row? After the last game, he said that he wanted to win the championship before the baby was born. ”

"I don't know if Link can do it, but I'd rather believe he can."

Meanwhile, on the court, Dinwiddie shot an impressive three-point shot during the warm-up. Georgel counted it, and Dinwiddie had at least forty in a row!

"What's the situation? Is it time for us to get lucky today? ”

"No, that guy just gained confidence." Link patted Jogel on the shoulder and smiled.

Yesterday afternoon, Dinwiddie beat Steve Brown on 100 three-point attempts. Nash.

Being able to defeat his god-like opponent made Dinwiddie fearless.

Link is really looking forward to the Grizzlies' performance from beyond the three-point line today.

A tooth for a tooth is to pay attention to timeliness to be interesting.
