Chapter 636: 4724 Days of Nightmare

Yiyang rushed out of the three-point line and found that Dior's damn Frenchman was still following him. He knew he couldn't get a basketball again today, and Popovich had completely locked himself up!

So, Yiyang gestured to his French teammate Gobert. It's a gesture, but it's not complicated. Yiyang just pointed at Carter, and that's it.

Gobert hesitated, but passed the ball to the number 25, who had just come on the court. Prior to that, Carter had made a total of three shots from beyond the three-point line, hitting two shots.

Yiyang looked at Carter from a distance, he couldn't do anything anymore now. He remembers that during the 20-second timeout, Carter said he trusted himself. And now, Yiyang trusts Carter so much.

After receiving the basketball, Carter did not hesitate to run to the corner he was most familiar with, the bottom left corner. Outside the three-point line, in the bottom left corner, Carter once again jumped from this familiar place.

Familiar because in Game 7 of the 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals, he had missed a step-back three-pointer in the exact same position, and in the days since, this scene has appeared again and again in Carter's dreams, bringing him painful memories.

Every training session since 2001, Carter has worked on the same position he threw in the first place, and he's been waiting, waiting, expecting, hoping for that chance of redemption to come along.

This opportunity turned out to be a full 13 years. Carter knows that against the Spurs, even if he shoots this stunner, he will not be able to recover the regret of 13 years ago. But the hero is still looking forward to one of his wishes in his twilight years.

In order to evade Ginobili's defense, Carter also made a special shooting feint. It wasn't until Ginobili lost his center of gravity that "Old Flyer" took advantage of the time difference to officially jump.

Yiyang watched Carter leap high, leaning back slightly, and the basketball flew out of his fingertips. By the time the basketball was halfway through, the red light on the rebound was already on. Yiyang couldn't help but clench his fists, he was so nervous for the first time in so many years that he had been in the league! The tension even surpassed what he felt when he first landed in the NBA!

Time seemed to slow down, and the damn basketball just wouldn't get close to the basket. Yiyang saw that the stands in the center of the American route were blue and blue, and everyone stood up, holding their breath, waiting for the results.

For a long time, for a long time, Yiyang didn't even know how long it had been. That basketball, against the backdrop of the red light tube of the rebound, is in the expectant eyes of fans all over the world. I didn't touch the basket and fell straight into the net!

"Beep!" An electronic beep sounds.

"Boom!" All the fans in the stands raised their arms and the whole stadium seemed to tremble!

"In! Entered! Can you believe that!? Vince. Carter! It's a moment that belongs to the Dallas Mavericks! "Mike. Bryn's roar was the perfect embellishment of the moment.

The blue water boiled, and Carter, who had hit the lore, was like a transparent droplet, but at this moment he was surprisingly calm. He closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

But Yiyang and his teammates couldn't calm down, and the moment the ball was scored, Yiyang rushed to Carter with his fastest speed. The fat guy in Cuban fell as he tumbled off the audience, but he didn't think about it, got up and continued to lean towards Carter.

Carter reopened his eyes, no laughing, no roaring. He just stood there with open arms, nothing more. This guy, he was finally relieved.

Yiyang jumped up violently and bumped his chest with Carter in the air. Subsequently, Nowitzki, Iguodala, Gobert, Cuban, Tony. Allen and all the other Mavericks players present rushed over and hugged Carter tightly.

Behind him was a group of fans in blue T-shirts who raised their arms and roared. In the arena of the American Route Center, the cheers of the fans did not dissipate for a long time. Some old fans with gray hair roared red-faced, but they still had no intention of stopping.

Carter was held in the middle by his teammates, but he still had no expression on his face. It's just that his right hand raised high never let go!

When Popovich saw this, he left without saying a word. Tony. Parker looked back at the Mavericks players who were celebrating wildly. Unexpectedly, after locking that No. 1, there would be a guy who no one expected to stand up.

What about Ginobili? Duncan habitually touched the bald man's head. Well, some fans even suspect that the piece of hair on the top of Ginobili's head may have been rubbed by Duncan like this.

Under Duncan's "touching the head", Ginobili could only shake his head helplessly and accept this fact.

In the last 1.7 seconds of the game, he broke through the fearsome Tony Allen, faced Gobert, who was 15 years younger than him, and scored a layup with a pull-up rod. This night was supposed to belong to Manu. Ginobili. But that "half-human, half-god" guy seems to be a little unconvinced.

"Hey." Manu sighed, after so many years, their group of old guys still have hand-to-hand combat on the court. Who would have thought that now in 2014, Ginobili and Carter would still dominate the game?

The two old wines, spurs and calves, have added some flavor to them.

The Spurs players silently exited, and at this time, on this field, even Yiyang, the MVP, had to stand aside. Tonight, there is only one star in the arena of the American Route Center, Vince Brown. Carter!

The Mavericks players are gradually dispersing from Carter, and Cuban is still yelling that he has decided to continue to sign with Carter this summer! Yiyang had been reluctant to leave Carter, a few minutes ago when he asked the question, "Do you think we can win?" When this question was asked, Yiyang would never have imagined that Carter would answer him in such a way.

Carlisle stood on the sidelines, stunned. In the last 1.7 seconds, he chose to trust Carter and took Carter on the court as a backup attack point. Unexpectedly, Carter actually gave him such a rich return.

"It's crazy, Darrell, the world is so crazy!" Carlisle's face turned pale, visibly frightened.

"Why don't you go up and celebrate with the players?" Carlisle's assistant quipped.

"I think, Darrell. But I don't know why, I can't fucking take a step right now! ”

Carlisle stayed where she was, her body stiff. Maybe an old guy like him will take some more time to recover from the shock.

Carter still hasn't smiled, just like the 2000 slam dunk contest. There is no joy on this guy's face, only ruthlessness!

When interviewed by reporters, Carter threw his headband into the stands. At the age of 37, he is still like the "half-human and half-god" who is not convinced by anyone, revealing a domineering spirit in his bones.

Yiyang refused all reporters to interview today, although Carter completed the stunner, but he cut 27+10, which is definitely one of the keys to the Mavericks' victory. If it weren't for Yiyang, Carter might not even have a chance to complete the lore.

But whenever a reporter finds Yiyang, Yiyang will wave his hand and point at Carter. "He's the hero of the day, if there's anything you want to ask, ask him."

In the post-match press conference, Popovich was also very frustrated by the situation of falling behind 2-0. After being beaten by the opponent's three-point score in two consecutive games, Popovich had never encountered such an unlucky thing in his life.

"Ginobili defended very well, but Carter still got the ball in. We can't help it, we have to admit that Carter did a good job. Manu had done everything he could, but Carter still scored. ”

When confronted by reporters, Popovich's tone was full of helplessness. After half a year away from the court, he completed the lore as soon as he returned. Popovich only sighed in his heart. Carter, Carter, you're ruthless!

On the other hand, the atmosphere of the Mavericks is much more cheerful. Cuban, who was in a good mood, also attended the press conference today, and the picture of him falling to the ground in order to rush into the field and hug Carter over the stands has also become a topic of ridicule among many reporters.

But in the face of this embarrassing scene, Cuban was not angry.

"All I was thinking about was pushing all the guys in front of me and hugging Carter! After a fall, I was even more convinced that I wasn't dreaming! ”

Coach Carlisle, Carter has since had his own playoff stunner moment, and at the age of 37 years and 90 days, he became the first Rockets player since 1997. The oldest player to finish in the playoffs since Johnson. What do you think about this? In the last moments, did you deliberately arrange for Carter to catch the ball? ”

"I have to admit that the person who was supposed to strike the last blow was Yi. But the Spurs didn't give him a chance, so we had to make a last-minute change. You've all seen what happened after that. Truth be told, Vince deserves that opportunity," Carlisle said, "and a player like him deserves a playoff moment of his own." ”

"What do you think of Carter's lore? At that moment, I was watching a hero finish his performance. Yiyang, the MVP, also put down his posture today, he didn't want to steal the limelight from Carter.

In the end, the reporters all eyes fell on Carter. Everyone has finished asking, but Carter, the main character, has not yet spoken.

"Mr. Vinnce, what do you think of your performance in the final 1.7 seconds?"

After listening to the question, Carter smiled. How long has it been since he has been to a press conference? Unexpectedly, this time it became the focus.

"First of all, I have to thank my teammates, coaches and bosses. They could have abandoned me for half a year when I was injured, but they didn't. After my comeback, they could have allowed someone else to take my place, but no. In the last 1.7 seconds, they could choose someone else to execute the shot, but no! I have to thank them, thank them for the trust they have placed in me! Thanks to them, and willing to believe in an old guy who is 37 years and 90 days old. Carter's eyes were a little red, but they quickly recovered.

The Dallas Mavericks gave him far more than he gave the Mavericks.

'So, I'm willing to help the team win in any way I can, in training, in the dressing room, anything. But if the coach and teammates are willing to give you such an opportunity, I will naturally cherish it even more. ”

"I'm not afraid to shoot under pressure, I'm not afraid to shoot to win the shot, I'm not afraid to throw a shot, and that mentality has helped me to do it with confidence, and I've lived with it ever since. There will always be times when you miss an important shot, like I did in 2001, and you think about it until the chance of redemption comes along. I'm glad that after all these years, the opportunity has finally come. ”

After saying that, Carter finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Yes, after a full 4,724 days, Carter used a perfect self-redemption to dispel the lingering nightmare......

And this veteran has also made a lot of contributions on the road to the championship.

2-0, the Dallas Mavericks are far ahead in the Western Conference Finals. When this team will no longer rely on Yiyang alone to support, it also means that their moment is coming!
