Nine Hundred and Seventy-Seven: Half Human, Half God

The moment Vince Carter hit the ball, the entire Oracle Arena fans covered their heads with their hands. The nearly 20,000 fans in the audience seemed to be suffocating.

Steve Kerr stared at the court blankly, as if he still couldn't believe what he just saw. Really? The Memphis Grizzlies actually used an almost 40-year-old veteran to shoot the winning shot. Moreover, it was really invested!

Kerr confirmed that he had no fireworks and the basketball just hit the net at the buzzer. Vince Carter shook Livingston away and made a difficult jump shot in the left corner.

On the court, Carter, still raising his right arm, was instantly surrounded by Grizzlies players!

Link was the first to rush forward. When he saw Carter shooting, Link felt a little numb. Not to mention being a Warriors fan, even he held his breath at that time!

When the basketball hit the net, Link instantly lost his mind.

He yelled "fuck", then rushed towards Carter and hugged him tightly.

Then, more and more people rushed forward. Coaches including Jorge and Snyder couldn't help but join in the carnival.

"You did it Vince, you did it! You made the shot and we won, we fucking won! Left corner, I knew that was your place, I knew it!" Link He became incoherent. He had never been so excited when he completed the final kill by himself in the past.

But today, seeing Carter's 14-year nightmare finally being broken, Link couldn't stand it any longer.

He thought of the story that Carter told him that happened in 2001 that afternoon not long ago.

Link knew that this shot was more than just a buzzer-beater for Carter!

All the Grizzlies players shouted to hug Carter tightly, but where was Carter? He remained calm. In his opinion, this is what he should do!

14 years of preparation and waiting have finally come to fruition!

"The game is over, Vince Carter completed the buzzer-beater! This position is almost exactly the same as the position where he shot the buzzer-beater in the Eastern Conference semifinals tiebreaker in 2001! But this time, Vince Carter changed the ending! "

Mike Breen was roaring, and the Grizzlies players were still celebrating wantonly on the court.

Yes, this is Oakland, Oracle Arena, and the Warriors' territory!

But today, the Memphis Grizzlies are the final winners! Only the winner is the real owner of this arena!

Warriors fans were dumbfounded. Some of them covered their heads and were at a loss. Some looked confused and found it unbelievable.

The Warriors have had an advantage today since Green gave Link an elbow in the third quarter. The Warriors could have won this game.

They had several chances to kill the game, but they were spoiled by the Grizzlies in unbelievable ways.

Link's last-minute block on Thompson and that steal on Curry were magical enough.

Warriors fans didn’t expect that the more amazing thing was actually at the end!

The Warriors players began to leave the game disappointed. They really couldn't accept this ending.

If this game is won,

Then the Warriors will take a 2-1 lead. With another home game to play next, the Warriors may even have a chance to turn the series score into 3-1!

But now, with two key defensive plays from Link and an unexpected shot from Carter, everything was ruined.

Their imagined superiority, their imagined victory, were all destroyed. This sense of loss is something Warriors players have never experienced this season.

Link's defense and Carter's shooting were like a pair of big hands, strangling the throats of the Warriors players, causing them to slowly faint in pain.

Steve Kerr has not left yet. He is still standing on the sidelines, staring at the celebrating Grizzlies players.

For him, this will definitely be the most unforgettable game in his coaching career so far.

Kerr is now deeply aware that he must not underestimate any player on the Grizzlies team. Even if he is a nearly 40-year-old veteran...

Carter was still in the arms of his teammates, and the "demigod" had red eyes at this time. He and all his teammates and coaches hugged each other.

He is very happy that he can help the team win this crucial battle. He is very happy that he can still play an role at the age of 38. He is very happy that he did not reach the finals lying down.

That's right, the finals.

Although the total score of the series is now only 2-1, Carter believes that he and the Grizzlies can successfully get to the end.

This team is very different from all the teams he has joined before!

This team has real championship genes!

When reporters at the scene walked up to Carter, the veteran, who had grown a beard and wore a headband, was still sobbing.

"Vince, congratulations. After that shot, at the age of 38 years and 125 days, you became the oldest player to complete a buzzer-beating game in the playoffs since Rockets player Eddie Johnson in 1997! Now, what exactly are you doing? How do you feel?"

The reporter put the microphone to Carter's mouth. Carter tried hard to control his emotions, but still couldn't hide his crying. "I have always been willing to help the team win in any way, in training, in the locker room, in any way." OK. As long as there is still a chance, I will cherish it! Today, I got the chance. Thanks to my teammates and coaches for their trust. Without their support and encouragement, I would not be able to do all this."

"I'm not afraid of pressure shots, I'm not afraid of winning shots. This mental trait helped me and allowed me to finish this shot with confidence. From then on, I lived by it. Sometimes, you will miss important shots. Shooting, like when I did in 2001, you keep thinking about it until the opportunity for redemption comes up. I'm glad that after all these years, the opportunity finally came. And now, all I want to do is be with the team. Reaching the finals and assisting Link to win the third championship of his career! This is not the end yet, we will continue to move forward!"

From the beginning of the season, some people have been complaining about Carter.

People said he was there to hug someone, people said he was spineless joining a team that had just beaten him. People say that Vince Carter has lost the fighting spirit he had back then. He is now a pitiful veteran who just wants to find a place to get a championship ring.

But today, he told everyone that he is a member of the Memphis Grizzlies! Although he is old, he still has his own value!

With 21 points and a shocking left-corner kill, Vince Carter played the most beautiful game of his career.

Now he can no longer score 50 points, nor can he say anything pretentious in anger.

But his determination never wavered!

The hero's legs no longer fly high, but the hero's heart never goes far! The demigod will continue to move forward towards his career goals!

The atmosphere at the scene gradually cooled down, and the smoke left after the fierce battle gradually faded away.

The Grizzlies fought a beautiful comeback. They used their five-small lineup to successfully contain the Warriors' desire to expand their advantage.

They used veterans with big hearts to educate the younger generations such as Thompson, Curry and Green.

With a gritty victory, they showed Aucklanders what it means to have the heart of a champion!

At the post-game press conference, Joerger was also full of praise for Carter, "Vince deserves to have such a shot, and a player like him deserves to have his own playoff moment to commemorate. The most important thing is Yes, we all believe he can do it. It doesn’t matter age in competitive sports, he was our best player from beyond the arc today, it’s that simple.”

After Qiaogel finished speaking, he smiled at the reporters, but people found that Qiaogel's smile seemed a bit forced.

Indeed, Carter completed the buzzer beater, which was an exciting thing. Even if you are not a fan of the Grizzlies and Carter, you can be excited for a long time when you see this buzzer beater.

But while he was excited and happy, Qiaogel was also very worried.

Because at this time, Link was cooperating with Moon for a full body examination. Before learning Link's complete situation, Jorge had to spend every second in fear...
