Chapter 637: Crazy Old Man
Vince. Carter defeated the Spurs in the same position for the first time in 13 years and completed his redemption.
This three-pointer undoubtedly caused a major earthquake and put the spotlight on Carter throughout the league. LeBron. James and Paul. George, after continuing the Mavericks' "seven-minute defense" incident, they were robbed of the limelight by a 37-year-old man. The truth is, the ratings for the Eastern Conference Finals have started to decline consistently. Now, not many people have a new focus on the situation in the East.
This time, the sensation caused by Carter's stunner was even greater than the sensation caused by the previous tight defense.
Fans all over the world are talking about Carter's stunner, no matter what country or region, whether it is a star or a fan, they are still deeply trapped in Carter's stunnib and can't extricate themselves.
"With less than 2 seconds to play, it only takes 2 points to equalize the overtime ball, and you dare to shoot a false three-point shot?! Carter is such a dick, how does he usually sit on the bench? ”
"I was shocked by this fake throw, there are only 1.7 seconds left! It's a guy who throws it out at every opportunity, but he still calmly fakes, and I think he must know exactly how much time he has left. ”
"My throat is hoarse! It made my 7 year old daughter cry!! So what!!! Come on Mavericks!! Oh!!!! ”
On the Internet, almost all fans gave praise to Carter. A 37-year-old veteran who has just returned from injury can play as soon as he comes on the pitch, which just shows the value of a veteran.
Carter scored 11 points in the game, but the score was fatal! Chinese fans even gave Carter a nickname called "Ka Sandao".
It only takes three shots and a third knife to take a person's life. This is an incredible veteran!
Of course, Yiyang prefers another nickname given to Carter by Chinese fans, Kill "Ma".
"You know Vince, the person who can come up with this nickname must be a talent!" On the training ground the next day, Yiyang also shared this nickname that circulated on the Internet with Carter, but Yiyang really couldn't explain the meaning of this pun in English, so unfortunately, Carter has not been able to get the essence of the nickname "Kill Matt".
With the exception of Yiyang, almost all of the Mavericks players are sharing news about Carter. Overnight, Carter, who had been cultivating for more than half a year, reconnected with everyone.
Announcing his return with a lore, this time Carter is really not low-key.
Carter returns and puts on a stunner. The Mavericks also kept all two of their home courts, and they made good on their slogan of "Defend Your Home Field" and are about to head to San Antonio with a huge 2-0 advantage.
Recently, there have been a lot of good things, which has made the players a lot more relaxed than before. On the Spurs' side, the atmosphere is not so pleasant.
Now the whole world is in the news that Carter staged a lore, but how many people remember Ginobili's quasi-lore 1.7 seconds ago?
That's the brutality of professional basketball, no matter how desperate and terrible you are on the court. At the end of the day, only the winner is remembered.
Fortunately, Ginobili, as a mature veteran, will not be discouraged by this. In the playoffs, anyone has the possibility of killing the game, and this is a stage to make legends.
The entire Spurs are like Ginobili in that they don't want to dwell on past failures, and they don't hate Carter for ruining everyone's good deeds. The only thing they're thinking about now is how to beat the damn Dallas Mavericks in San Antonio!
After being beaten by the Mavericks for two consecutive games, Popovich was also very helpless about it. If you were to say any tactics that would give the Spurs a big victory, Popovich would tell you, "Go home and daydream about it!" ”
The Mavericks have been so strong this season that no tactic can completely contain them. So the game against the Mavericks is destined to be quite close.
In the first game, the Spurs' lead over the Mavericks by more than ten points was reversed, and in the second game, the Spurs were forced back by Carter even though they had won the game. These things are all situations that are outside of tactics. Even Carter's stunner at the end of the game was just an accident for the Mavericks. Because Carlisle also admitted frankly that the tactics of his final blow were all arranged around Yiyang.
In the 2-0 result, the Spurs lost not because of tactics or the lack of strength of the players. That's bad luck? Popovich disagreed, because luck must also be based on strength. Exactly the same chance you get Tony. Aaron went to throw, maybe he wouldn't be able to complete that lore in his life.
At the end of the day, Popovich doesn't think there's actually anything wrong with the Spurs. The Mavericks can do wonders at home, and maybe his Spurs can do it at the ATT Center. Their 2-0 lead was not convincing. Because both sides only decided the winner at the last minute, it is enough to show that the Mavericks actually have no way to crush the Spurs.
The only thing worth noting may be Yiyang's passing. That guy was always able to care about the distribution of the ball while scoring high scores, which is really amazing. In the next game, if the Spurs can intercept a few more balls and score a few more points, maybe they will be able to turn defeat into victory! After all, the two sides fought to the end, and there was only a few points of difference.
During the afternoon confrontation practice, the Spurs players practiced cutting off the ball.
The main thing now is not tactics, but to stabilize the mentality of the players. If the players have a mental breakdown because they are 2-0 down, that's the biggest disadvantage to the game.
"Manu, that's a very hard worker." Suits. Gray-haired, mafia-like Mafia boss Chip, the old assistant coach of the Spurs. England couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Ginobili plunge into the pile again after the steal.
"Hmph, have you ever seen that guy change? Anyway, for so many years, his style of play has always been like this. Popovich smiled, Ginobili guy, that's just so stubborn.
From long flowing hair to bald head, Ginobili has less and less hair, but the way he plays has never changed. Even the greatest players like Jordan, Kobe Bryant and James gradually change themselves as they get older.
They will shoot more and reduce the exertion of physical confrontation in order to dominate the court for longer. But what about Ginobili? Europe breaks through, throws themselves into the sky in the crowd, or shoots without warning from beyond the three-point line...... This guy will always be like this.
"The last game was stolen by Vince, and Manu must have been very unwilling. In the next game, are you really going to block Yi's pass? You have to know, that guy's singles scoring ability is also perverted. Spurs' "mafia leader" England swallowed, if he came to be the head coach, he would definitely go crazy.
"I know, what do you want me to do? Defensively, his passing will see all Mavericks players on the court score in double digits. Blocking his passes? God knows if that guy will cut another fifty or sixty points in the next game. Journalists always like to ask what you will do, what will you do. Where the do I know what to do? I'm not Gandalf in Middle-earth, I know everything. There are some things that it just simply can't do. ”
"Alright Greg, you don't have to allude to me by the term 'journalists'. I know what you're thinking
Try to increase the Mavericks' turnovers and then score a few more points on the counters to win. I have heard the Chinese saying that he should treat others in the way of others. After speaking, England looked at the field. But the problem is, we don't have a fast attack like that. Leonard's kid can be a sharp knife, but he alone is certainly not enough. It's hard to make it happen, you're going to add Corey. Did Joseph get playing time? ”
England's mind immediately came to mind the face of the young Canadian defender.
"Who said we didn't have a fast attack knife in the lineup? Well, isn't that it? It's just that there is a slight lack of hair. "Looking at the No. 20 who was stuck in the crowd again and again in the trainer, he laughed evilly, like a strange old man." As you said, that guy must be very unwilling. ”
"You know what, Greg, at least those stupid reporters are right, you're a lunatic!" England Germany shook his head and let a 37-year-old guy go to serve as a fast attack knife? Genius and madman, sure enough, there is a thin line of separation.

When they boarded the plane to San Antonio, enthusiastic fans were still holding banners outside the airport, wishing them a triumphant return.
In the crowd, there were even quite a few fans holding up signs with the words "4-0" written on them. It seems that the victory of two consecutive games has made Mavericks fans extremely confident.
"See, Vince? We're not far from the Grand Final! Yiyang looked out the window, and under the sunlight, he seemed to have seen the brilliance of the O'Brien Cup.
But San Antonio has never been such an easy city to conquer. The war between cattle and horses never ends early. You punch me and I punch, this is the essence of the bull and horse war. Want to win a series without running into resistance? It seems that the victory of the two games has made everyone a little fluttering.
You never know what awaits you inside an ATT center......
