Eight Hundred and Seventy-Six: Playing with Green, Twenty to Zero (Five/Five)

Celebrating on a motorcycle, this is Vince Carter’s most classic celebration.

Usually, Carter will do this celebration after dunking. As Carter dunks become less and less frequent, the frequency of this celebration becomes less and less.

But just now, Carter drove his motorcycle after hitting a three-pointer.

Although it was not a dunk, it gave Carter the same pleasure as a dunk.

Carter made three consecutive three-pointers, made three of three, and scored 9 points in a row!

There is no doubt that his threat far exceeded Steve Kerr's expectations.

Before the game started, neither Cole nor anyone else could have imagined that Cole would actually call a timeout for Carter!

"Vince Carter gave the Grizzlies an 8-point lead in an instant. The veteran was originally signed by the Grizzlies to fill the vacancies left by Mike Miller and Nick Young. At the time, people questioned Carter's Whether the three-point ability can fulfill such a role. But after today, I don’t think anyone will have any doubts about it!"

Mike Breen's palms were sweating. The shot just made him so excited that he almost screamed.

From 2001 to 2014, many things have changed, but some things have not changed. For example, Carter's ability to create magic.

Old Carter rode his "motorcycle" off the field and was immediately greeted with hugs and praises from his teammates.

Carter is equivalent to a 9-0 offensive climax by himself. I believe that after returning from the timeout, the Warriors will no longer dare to underestimate this substitute who averages 5.8 points per game.

"Well done, we fully achieved the results we expected! Keep up the good work and try to widen the point difference! The Warriors have been beaten, this is our opportunity!"

Joger himself didn't expect Carter and Whiteside to be so effective in the second quarter. If that's the case, let's pursue the victory!

On the other side, the keen Steve Kerr also felt that something was not good. The Grizzlies had the intention of completely destroying the Warriors in the second quarter.

Carter is completely open now. For the next entire game, Carter cannot be easily given another chance.

No, no one else can give the Grizzlies another chance!

Cole believes that feel is "contagious."

When a team's offense is playing too well,

All players will be confident in their shots.

And self-confidence is a key to ensuring shooting percentage.

But if the others are not released, Link will be freed...

Cole then looked at Draymond Green, who was being held upright by his own hand, and Green instantly knew what Cole meant.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him."

Green is gearing up, the showdown he expected is finally here!

At the end of the timeout, the 8-point difference put the Warriors in a very dangerous situation.

But Link is not complacent. He knows very well that in front of a team like the Warriors that can score three-pointers in a row, no amount of lead is safe enough!

8 points seems like a lot, but it's just three three-pointers.

Therefore, Link remains serious. It will be difficult for Carter to get such a good opportunity again, which means that the game is officially in his hands!

Link will not relax until the point difference is widened to a safe enough number.

The Warriors' first attack after returning from a timeout was still a pick-and-roll between Green and Curry.

Only this time, when Curry attracted the defense, he did not continue to shoot as before. Instead, he jumped in the air and faked a real pass, passing the ball to Green who followed the pick-and-roll!

Green took two strides and jumped for a layup, hoping to break the situation that suddenly became unfavorable.

But just as Green's feet left the ground, he felt that the basketball was squeezed hard by another force until it was released!

His ball was chipped.

It turns out that Link has long been eyeing Green. Harrison Barnes stood in the bottom corner, which made it easier for Link to switch defensive positions at any time.

Seeing Green walking down the penalty area after the pick-and-roll, Link quietly approached. When Green took two big steps to prepare for a layup, Link seized the opportunity and made a decisive move!

"Pay attention to your surroundings, Draymond." After winning the basketball, Link proudly yelled at Green. The Warriors' offense failed again!

"Mistake, the Warriors haven't scored a goal until the second quarter! They must adjust immediately, otherwise..."

Before Mike Breen could finish his words, Link, who was on the fast break after stealing the ball, completed a tomahawk chop.

The score difference became 10 points, and the Warriors seemed to be on a roller coaster, falling from the top to the bottom in an instant!

The fans roared with excitement and the ground at FedEx Arena shook.

Logically speaking, that was not the most explosive dunk performance Link had ever performed at FedEx Arena.

But that dunk, Link started to steal from Green himself!

The sudden direct confrontation between the two hit the fans' G-spot.

Vince Carter's consecutive three-pointers are just the appetizer. The duel between Link and Green is the "main course" tonight!

The duel between Link and Green is the biggest highlight of this game!

After waiting for so long, the climax finally happened.

"Fuck, don't get too proud too early, 10 points is not too much!" Green started his trash talk offensive. He really didn't want to see Link's proud face.

It was clearly Green's turn to defend Link now, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to be defended by Link.

"Hehe, 10 points is indeed not too much, but don't worry, I will continue to expand this number!" Link was not irritated by Green, but answered the angry Green with a dismissive tone.

The trash talk between the two intensified, and the atmosphere of the game heated up instantly.

The Warriors haven't scored a goal for several rounds, either because of a strike, a risk, or a mistake.

They tried shooting, driving and cutting, but without exception they all failed.

Cole yelled from the sidelines. This guy hasn't touched the bench since the second quarter.

He signaled the Warriors to look for shooting opportunities from the outside and use their strengths to tide over the difficulties.

But at this time, the Warriors players were somewhat anxious. All teams in the league know the consequences of being pushed to double digits by the Grizzlies, and the Warriors are no exception.

They are a little flustered now, fearing that their efforts in the first quarter will fall short.

The more afraid you are, the easier it is to fall into the abyss.

Curry ran all over the court this time, hoping to find an opening to shoot. Even if it's just a gap, it's an opportunity for him.

But Conley gave Curry no chance to even find a gap.

Grizzlies No. 11 knows that now is a great time to establish an advantage. He no longer cares about physical distribution. The most important task now is to withstand this wave of counterattack and strive to establish an advantage!

Curry couldn't get out of the way for a long time, so Green handed the ball to Thompson.

As soon as Thompson caught the ball, Link appeared in front of him "on time".

Not a second of hesitation, not a moment of space.

Thompson felt as if he was being choked by Link. This was the legendary suffocating defense!

There was no way, Thompson had to give the ball back to Green.

After receiving the ball, Green feinted a shot, then dribbled through and made a jump shot from mid-range!

Green managed to get rid of Harris, but when he shot, that annoying face appeared in front of him again.

Link's face gradually covered the basket. After cutting off Green's ball, he blocked Green's shot again!

"Link is targeting Draymond today. He has to be careful. Link will not let him go easily! From now on, Green will have to pay the price for what he did before the game."

Green was defended by Link twice in a row. From the current point of view, he was completely defeated by Link!

There was no time to worry, Green quickly retreated and defended himself in front of Link as Cole arranged!

This is the second time Green has faced off against Link in a position battle after the first quarter!

"Come on, come on, I can still guard you this time!" Green muttered, making Link's ears restless. No matter what the situation is, Green does not want to give in in terms of momentum.

Seeing that it was Green who was defending him, Link straightened his back, slowed down his pace, and signaled everyone to pull away.

The meaning is very clear, Link wants to have fun with Green!

"Link is going to fight Green alone, keep your eyes open, this will definitely be an attack worth the price of admission!" Hubie Brown's heartbeat began to accelerate, and the sudden duel between the two brought the game to a climax in an instant.

Green opened his arms, adjusted his position with small steps, and stared at Link.

Link was very calm and slowly approached Green, taking his time. Green did not passively wait for Link to accelerate, but took the initiative to fight. Rough defense was his foundation.

But just at the moment Green attached himself, Link accelerated!

He started without any warning and picked up speed very quickly, reaching top speed almost instantly!

Green quickly retreated, but at the same time he did not forget to give Link physical resistance.

At this moment, Link suddenly stopped from the high speed and pulled the ball back, back to the free throw line!

Link's sudden stop and pull can be said to be his signature move. This move can not only open up space, but can even knock countless people over.

But Green was not that fragile. Seeing Link retreat, Green immediately changed his focus and rushed forward to block the shot!

But Link's daunting action wasn't over yet. He used Green as his axis, turned around, and wiped it away lightly.

Green, on the other hand, jumped forward too hard and lost the support point of Link. He stumbled and fell like a dog!

After breaking through Green, facing Bogut who came to defend, Lin pulled up a layup.

Elegant, soft, fast, and fatal in one hit!

Link is like a top assassin who can kill people quietly and lightly!

"Link knocked down Green. His series of moves were completely unlike a three-position position! Can you imagine LeBron James or Kevin Durant doing such a shaking move? It's impossible! This is not a confrontation, but It’s a joke, a naked joke!”

After Link scored, he looked back at Green who was getting up from the ground in embarrassment.

But he didn't directly trash talk Green. Instead, he faced the Warriors bench and looked at Cole, who was covering his head with his hands.

He thought of an even more humiliating trick!

"Defend me with Draymond Green? Are you fucking kidding me! Send someone at the same level as me, please!"

Link yelled at Cole, deliberately shouting loud enough to make sure Green could hear him.

On the surface, Link was trolling Cole, but everyone knew that this was Link's way of expressing his disdain for Green.

I don't even bother to talk trash to you in person!

Green smashed the floor hard, wanting to tear Link into pieces!

Being intercepted, being blocked, and now being knocked down again... In just a few rounds, Link severely humiliated Green in different ways.

Green was so angry, he felt like he could spit fire out of his mouth!

But there was no way, no matter how aggrieved he was, he could only endure it now. If he could tear Link into pieces, he wouldn't have to vent his frustration on the innocent floor.

Link's goal completely shattered the Warriors' self-confidence.

Green, the feared Warriors' strongest defender, was teased like a dog by Link. How could this not hurt his self-confidence?

The faces of the Warriors players that were originally filled with confidence were now filled with only fear!

After this goal, the Warriors were completely defeated, and Link scored 11 points in a row! Green's defense collapsed all the way, and everything he did fulfilled what Link said before.

"Draymond Green is trash."

The game went on like this for 5 minutes in the second quarter. Counting Iguodala's previous three three-pointers, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors 20-0 in total!

The Grizzlies went from being 1 point behind to 19 points ahead in an instant!

The defending champion started scoring without warning, and even many Grizzlies fans were shocked.

The Warriors' dream of 17 consecutive wins is in jeopardy.

When Steve Kerr stopped the game again, ESPN executives couldn't help but shook their heads.

I thought that the ratings of this game would definitely be stable, and I thought that there would never be any more garbage time in this game.

Now it seems that it is hanging again!

When playing against the Memphis Grizzlies, no team can guarantee that they will survive until the end...
