"Vince, are you alright?"

Billups looked at the star of his team with a serious face and asked with some curiosity, since the warm-up of this game, he has always felt that Carter is a little preoccupied, or something is not like in the past.

In the past, no matter what the situation was, the Grizzlies' leading player was extremely optimistic when he was on the court, according to many times Carter himself said, he needs to let himself see hope at all times, but also let his teammates and fans see hope, so when he takes on the most important task of a team, he needs more than just to play, this is Carter's principle all along, Billups doesn't know when Carter started to form such a habit, But it was definitely before he came to the Grizzlies, and Carter was like that.

Counting, this is also the first time he has seen the NBA league leader in such a situation since he came to the Grizzlies, but in the face of Billups's worries, Carter did not say much, and now the Boston Celtics players and Grizzlies players have stood in the designated position and are ready to jump the ball, and this game that almost determines the trend of this series has also begun, and now the Grizzlies are 0-2 behind, in this case, the team that is now playing at home can no longer lose, If you lose again, it means 0-3 down, and for the NBA, 0-2 and 0-3 are completely incomparable.

If the Grizzlies still want to let their journey this season continue, then they must win this game, but in the face of such a Boston Celtics who came to Vancouver with a 2-0 advantage, I am afraid that no team or player can say that they can easily defeat such a team, and as a team leader, in the face of such an opponent, and under the pressure of such a victory, even Carter can feel that his palms are sweating before the game starts, He is now one of the league's best leaders.

But even so, under such pressure, Carter alone feels a little vulnerable, maybe for any team and any player in the face of such an opponent, this situation will occur, just like Duncan in 1999, when Duncan won, but many times after the game, the Spurs inside did not believe that his team really won, because at that time the Spurs had been cornered, It's only 0.1s away from being killed and losing, but compared to the Spurs at that time, the Grizzlies are even more embarrassed now, and the Grizzlies are not only 0.1s away from the Boston Celtics, but two games away.

In this case, the Grizzlies need to win four of the last five games if they really want to turn the tables, which is extremely difficult, and even in the season when they won the championship last season, they still didn't win four of the five games against this opponent in the playoffs.

"We're going to win this game," just as Billups watched Carter ignore him and was about to look back, he suddenly heard Carter muttering to himself, although the voice was small, but Billups, who was standing next to Carter, could clearly understand this.

"What?" It's just that Billups is completely confused about Carter's words that seem to be a question but doesn't seem to be a question, maybe for him, Carter may be thinking too much at this time, but at this time, there is no time for him to continue to ask Carter, because at this time the referee Bavita has already thrown the basketball into the air, and the game has officially begun

The Grizzlies changed their lineup again, this is the idea of Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green in front of the Boston Celtics bench after the game started, in fact, for this game, before the game started, Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green were able to predict that the Boston Grizzlies would change their formation in this game, the first two games Grizzlies played too passively, although in the second game, Terry played the No. 1 position in the first half of the personal offense can maintain firepower and can also take the Grizzlies to bite the score.

But obviously, even if Terry appears in the No. 1 position, the Grizzlies have no way to completely suppress the Boston Celtics, and in the end, the Celtics completed the counterattack in the third quarter, in this case, if the Grizzlies want to change the lineup, they will naturally start from here, although Terry's performance in the last game was very good, and he was the second most scoring player in the Grizzlies, but after the start of this game, the star guard still appeared on the bench, and Michael Reed, another guard of the Grizzlies, appeared in the starters, And the Grizzlies' lineup in this game is also center Ben Wallace, power forward Mohammed and small forward Reed, the scoring guard is Billups, and the playmaking guard is Carter.

For this change of formation of the Grizzlies, in front of the bench of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green are very incomprehensible, because of such a arrangement, the Grizzlies are obviously ready to play in the early stage, in the last game Terry mainly attacked, so Terry appeared in the position of the organization guard, which is more convenient, because everyone knows that the problem position of the Boston Celtics has always been the No. 1 position, so Carter inherited the position of Terry in the last game, Then Carter must not be in this position as simple as passing and defending like in previous games, he needs to score at the No. 1 position, in fact, since Billups came to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' leading player has basically not appeared in the No. 1 position again, and in the first two seasons when Carter just entered the league, he was the team's playmaker for many times.

In this case, the playmaking guard also played a series of jaw-dropping records in the playoffs in those two years, such as tying Jordan's consecutive 40+ records, such as scoring points with Ao Fat in the Western Conference Finals, two 55 and 60+, etc., because in many cases, when this player appears in the No. 1 position, his main responsibility will also change, because this is the time when the team needs him to score and control the game, in fact, for Zhuang Fei, Carter, the disciple he has been paying attention to, he is naturally clear about some of the characteristics of his disciples, and now the Grizzlies need Carter to stand up and grasp the initiative on the court, and they still need to let the Grizzlies have an absolute advantage on the court. Compared with Terry in the last game, Carter's threat in this game is naturally much more, not even a grade.

"Coach, Vince is in control of the game now, is he still capable of fighting back in the fourth quarter?"

When seeing Carter appear in the No. 1 position, Stephen Green, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, was stunned for a moment, and then asked Zhuang Fei with some surprise, Zhuang Fei's tactical ideas in the first two games are not complicated, don't the Grizzlies need Carter in every aspect?

Then Zhuang Fei let Carter be responsible for all aspects of his Grizzlies, in this case, put shackles on Carter, so that he lacks the final explosiveness, for such a tactic, after the first two games, it was basically reprinted and analyzed by the major media, in this case, Green also knows where the winner and loser of his team and the Grizzlies in this round of the series are, to put it bluntly, if the Grizzlies want to win, they need other players to be able to drag the Boston Celtics, and then give Carter enough space to take over the game and decide the game, In this case, Zhuang Fei's attrition tactics in the first three quarters worked, but now, before Zhuang Fei came to consume Carter, Carter was naturally ready to take over the game in advance, and was ready to take over the game in the first quarter. Even if Carter was really able to control the game from the start, it wouldn't be the same result in the end, which is not worth looking at. This is the doubt in Green's heart, in addition to Green's thoughts, the two TNT ace commentators in the commentary seat also think the same, but these two people are still speculating, and Green is directly asking for help from his teacher, and to Green's great surprise, his teacher did not ignore or answer his question as before, but answered almost immediately after hearing his question, but this answer made Green frightened.

"What if the game loses suspense in the first half or in the first three quarters?" Zhuang Fei frowned after hearing Green's doubts, and then said with great seriousness.

"Half time or three quarters to take the suspense out of the game? How is this possible? Is it so likely that there are teams in the league now that can do that in front of us? After listening to Zhuang Fei's explanation, Stephen Green directly blurted out and asked again. Only this time Zhuang Fei didn't answer his question again, but looked directly at the court, and at this time Green looked at the court with some surprise.

"It's so ambitious, I want to see if you can do it" Zhuang Fei's gaze at the court at this time also became sharp. (To be continued)
