Steve Nash is driving to the Federal Express Arena, and on-board radio, almost all local Memphis radio stations are discussing the unusual game last night.

"Incredible, the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers was surprising. 24 three-pointers were definitely something that local fans in Cleveland dared not imagine."

"The Cavaliers unexpectedly won the first victory of the finals. Before the game started, they were not favored. But now, they are also the leading side."

"The Cleveland Cavaliers undoubtedly issued a serious warning to the Grizzlies. No matter how optimistic the Grizzlies were before the game, they would not run into their arms by themselves if they won the game."

In addition to the radio, the streets of Memphis are also full of publicity posters for this year's finals, and fans wearing Grizzlies' dark blue T-shirts are all over the streets.

Before he knew it, Nash drove to the entrance of the Federal Express Arena.

Looking at the fans gathered outside the stadium and looking at everything they faced, Nash felt a little unrealistic.

This rich atmosphere of the finals is something he has never experienced in his long player career in the past 18 years.

Unexpectedly, one day, he will be able to make it to the NBA finals.

Although he is no longer a player, but a member of the Grizzlies' coaching staff, Nash is still very concerned about this year's finals.

Nash has had a great year in Memphis this season. Although he is only a member of the coaching staff, Nash is still full of accomplishment as he sees the team thriving.

Especially in the last round of the Western Conference Finals, after he accompanied the Grizzlies to defeat the Warriors coached by Steve Cole, Nash felt only glad.

Nash has never won the Western Conference Finals, and this is the first time this year.

If he agreed to the invitation of his good friend Cole last summer instead of Link, his dream of the finals in this life would have been shattered.

Choosing the Memphis Grizzlies and Link was the most correct decision he has ever made.

So, sometimes a choice can change many things.

"Steve, it's early!"

"As early, Steve, thank you for your hard work today!"

"Come on Steve, we're just one game behind!"

As soon as Nash parked the car and walked down, many coaching staff greeted Nash at the same time.

Nash also nodded his head kindly, and then walked straight to the locker room.

Nash looked at his hands and smiled slightly.

Is this what it feels like to struggle in the finals?

Half an hour later, Steve Nash appeared on the training ground. He picked up the basketball on the ground and tried to shoot a few.

Although he has been retired for three years, Nash's shooting feel is still good.

The basketball obediently rushed into the net, and the cheers of fans seemed to ring around.

But soon, the cheers came to an abrupt end. There were no tens of thousands of cheering fans in the training ground, and it was empty, and he was the only one.

Nash shook his head. He was no longer the "Son of Wind" in Phoenix City.

"Steve, it's early." At this moment, Nash heard Link's voice.

"Hmm? So early today?" Nash turned his head. Sure enough, it was the guy who came to recruit him in person last summer.

"Hehe, come and practice three-pointers in advance. Yesterday's game... was really exaggerated." After saying that, Link also picked up the basketball on the ground and started shooting.

"How is Rachel's situation?"

"Everything is OK." Link shrugged and replied lightly.

"I'm worried about playing the finals at this critical moment?" Nash looked at Link. Most people were probably so nervous that they were dying when their children were about to be born.

However, Link did not show any anxiety on the basketball court and in public.

"It's not so much of worrying, but more of expectations. By the way, Steve, how do you think of yesterday's game?"

"My point of view is basically the same as you. It is almost impossible for the Cleveland Cavaliers to perform like yesterday. They performed very well. But we are different. We didn't even play 100% of our strength yesterday."

While Nash and Link were discussing, Dinwiddie also arrived at the training hall.

Seeing the two big shots who appeared in the training hall early, Dinwiddie became serious unconsciously.

He began to warm up meticulously and then began to practice shooting.

Everything seemed to be no different from the start of last summer's training camp. Dinwiddie continued to come to practice three points every morning, and it has been a whole year.

Even though Dinwiddie's three-point shooting percentage has improved greatly in the regular season this season, even if no one dares to easily short Dinwiddie outside the three-point line, he has not relaxed his shooting practice.

When Dinwiddie shot, Nash was very focused.

After all, Dinwiddie's progress outside the three-point line is inseparable from Nash's guidance.

Although Nash is a Grizzlies player development consultant, Din Widdie is definitely one of his most complacent disciples.

Whenever Dinwiddie scores a wonderful goal, especially a three-pointer, Nash on the bench is the most excited and happy.

Nash naturally puts the most effort into Dinwiddie in being able to train a defender with a three-point shooting percentage of less than 20% into a qualified scorer with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%.

Nash looked at Dinwiddie's eyes. Maybe he had already put all his expectations for the finals on Dinwiddie.

Link shook his head and looked away from Nash.

"Spencer!"

After Dinwiddie threw for a while, Nash suddenly shouted.

"Um?"

"Let's compare three points. It seems that you haven't compared with me yet?"

"What!?" Dinwiddie was obviously a little surprised. Nash's three-pointer seemed to be an unreachable existence in Dinwiddie's opinion.

Nash's career three-point shooting percentage was incredible in that era. In the 07-08 season, Nash even shot 47% of his three-point shooting percentage!

Dinwiddie was a little at a loss. He always regarded Nash as his teacher and never thought that Nash could compete with him after three-pointers.

"What, don't you even have the courage to defeat the old man?" Nash smiled jokingly.

"How is that possible? Come on Steve, let me say first, I won't give you face!"

The young man is indeed infuriating.

Then, Dinwiddie and Nash started their three-point showdown.

Link stopped watching the master and apprentice "showing love" and returned to his own training.

But then again, Dinwiddie's three-point stability now seems to have improved more than last summer.

Nash is right, the Grizzlies have not yet shown 100% of their strength.

In the next game, it is time for the Clevelanders to see the Grizzlies' powerful firepower outside the three-point line.

※※※

Three days after the first game of the finals, the second showdown between the two sides continued at the Federal Express Arena.

After the Cavaliers broke the league's three-point record in the last game, today, espn's "victory key" for the Grizzlies above the screen was also very simple - limiting the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage.

"Today, the Cavaliers will definitely continue to cause trouble for the Grizzlies outside the three-point line. Although the Cavaliers' three-point shooting percentage may not be as terrible as the previous game, they can still open up space for LeBron. In short, the Grizzlies are still not easy to play in this game. If the Grizzlies lose two consecutive home games, this may become one of the most unpopular finals in history."

Before the game started, Jeff Van Gundy was still worried about the Grizzlies.

But beside him, Mike Brin did not continue Van Gundy's words.

"I believe Link won't allow such an upset, Jeff."

"So, do you really think Link can win four games in a row? After the last game, he said that he wanted to win the championship before the child was born."

"I don't know if Link can do it, but I'd rather believe he can."

At the same time, on the court, Dinwiddie's three-point shooting percentage during warm-up was amazing. Jogel counted and Dinwiddie scored at least more than 40 consecutive shots!

"What's the situation? Are we lucky today?"

"No, that guy just gained confidence." Link patted Jogel's shoulder and smiled.

Yesterday afternoon, Dinwiddie won Steve Nash on 100 three-point shots.

Being able to defeat the god-like opponent in your mind makes Dinwiddie fearless.

Link is really looking forward to the Grizzlies' performance outside the three-point line today.
