Carter hit a three-pointer, but this did not attract the attention of the Warriors.

People are praising Link's selflessness, his broad vision of passing and his accuracy of passing without looking at people.

But few people notice Whiteside's oversized defensive coverage.

And, Vince Carter's fighting spirit was like he was 10 years younger!

Vince Carter immediately returned to defense after slamming Link's high fives. The goal just now gave the veteran, who was almost 40 years old, confidence.

Once again, he got the chance to prove himself!

The Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2001 can be said to be one of the few highlights of Carter's career in his playoffs.

Back then, the battle between Carter and Iverson was a classic. These two superstars refused to give in to each other. If you shoot, I will shoot one shot. If you shoot for 47 minutes, I will also fight for 47 minutes.

In short, even if only one soldier is left, they will have to fight with each other until the last moment, and then commit suicide to thank the heavens.

Among them, in the third game of the series, Carter opened fire with all his energy, scoring 50 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in the whole game, and made 9 three-pointers in a crazy way, with a shooting percentage of up to 69.2%.

In this battle, he led the Raptors to 76ers with 24 points. Who would have thought that? In the eyes of the outside world, a person who usually only knows how to dunk is now playing three-pointers.

After the game, Carter said in an interview: "There are many people who think I can only dunk, but I hope everyone can realize that I am a very comprehensive player. I can not only dunk, but also pass, shoot three-pointers, and break through."

Indeed, in that game, Carter let people see an all-rounder. Although the Raptors he led failed in the end, the 76ers who lost to Iverson in the tiebreak were eliminated.

But that round of the series was definitely Carter's proud work.

But what about that year? People’s inherent impression of Carter is back.

He was just a dunker, and without the bonus of the gorgeous dunk, Carter was nothing.

Such prejudice followed Carter through New Jersey, Orlando, Phoenix and Dallas, and until now, he followed Memphis.

What's so scary about a "flying man" who can no longer fly, a "ufo" without power?

The Warriors also think so, they are not strict in defense against Carter. In their opinion, Carter will be replaced by Jimmy Butler in just two rounds.

The only purpose of his appearance is to let Butler go down and take a breath.

So, Link would say to Carter before he got on the court, "Run Vince, run as much as you want. As long as you find a chance, I will send the ball to you."

So, there was a beautiful goal just now.

Carter rarely meets people who appreciate his three-point ability, so the way he gives back Link's trust is to score goals!

The score difference becomes 2 points, and the Grizzlies overtake.

Steve Cole stood seriously on the sidelines, hoping that the team could get the score back as soon as possible.

This time, when Klay Thompson was planning to cut into the penalty area again, he found that the person who defended him had become Link.

"Where do you want to go? Stay well and don't move!" Link blocked Clay's cutting route, and he and Carter's defense switch were very tacit.

After that round just now, Carter found that he was unable to defend Clay, so he took the initiative to switch positions with Link and defended himself in front of Harrison Barnes.

Barnes was so excited when he saw that it was Old Carter who was facing him.

The "North Carolina Black Hawks" actively raised their arms and asked for the ball from Curry's hand.

In his opinion, it would be easy to break through an elderly Carter!

The young Black Hawk completely regarded Carter as an ATM.

Although Carter's athletic ability is indeed not as good as Barnes now, the intentions of that guy Barnes are really too obvious.

He was erect and Carter knew what the young man was thinking.

So Carter immediately moved sideways and blocked Barnes's breakthrough route in time.

Barnes was guarded by Link and Butler for a whole period of time, and he had already been in a bad mood. Now he finally got a soft persimmon, so he was unwilling to let go easily.

Although Carter blocked the breakthrough route, Barnes still forced himself to fight against Carter.

Link shook his head. Barnes probably had never heard the saying "Ginger or old ones".

Barnes suddenly felt that Carter's resistance had become weaker. He was complacent and thought that he could do whatever he wanted after he carried away Old Carter.

But when Barnes jumped and made a layup, he was greeted by Hassan Whiteside's thick arms.

"What!?"

Barnes encountered the same thing as Klay Thompson. He just raised the basketball and was forced to have a "spicy hot pot".

"The second block was blocked in a row, Hassan Whiteside was really merciless! Barnes thought for too long and simple. He thought he had broken through Carter, but in fact he was just being led into the defensive trap by Carter." Hubby Brown of course saw Carter's trick.

In the NBA world, the old man is not so easy to bully.

Link reached out and received the basketball that was blown out by Whiteside. He turned around and was about to speed up, but found that Draymond Green had already reached his sight!

The two of them had already been very close to each other, and Link could even see the sweat on Green's forehead.

I have to say that Green is indeed a good defensive player. Although he is big-mouthed and arrogant, he is very smart.

Green lies behind Link early. As long as Link is not careful, he will hit someone directly if he is not careful.

If this move is used on others, Green will probably succeed.

But Link is the most unique player in the league.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, Green was surprised to find that Link suddenly stopped!

He overcame the inertia and the tilt of the center of gravity, and stopped in place in a hurry.

The next second, Link skillfully changed direction in front of the body, and then changed from static instantly.

Ge only felt a black shadow passing by, and just now he was close to Link in front of him and disappeared.

"Beautiful, Link passed Green who was trying to block the fast attack. His movements were quite smooth and he didn't drag on it! Link drove straight into the road and he broke through the penalty area!"

With Mike Bolling's increased volume, the Warriors players also retreated into the penalty area with Link as the center.

For a moment, about one or two seconds, the Warriors coach Steve Cole off the field was a little dazed.

Link broke through alone, and a bunch of people around him wanted to stop him. It was like a group of hungry wolves pounced on the lost and lonely sheep.

This picture seemed to bring Cole back twenty years ago.

This picture seemed to turn the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey on Link turned into the red No. 23...

As a former member of the Bulls, Cole has seen such scenes more than once. Every time Jordan breaks through, it will attract several blockades from the other side.

What Link and Jordan have in common is that they are not hunted, they are hunters!

The Warriors' defense contracted across the board, and Australian center Bogut even prepared to give Link a elbow in the air.

But among the crowd, Link once again found a clean Carter who was missed!

Link's advancement was very fast, and Carter finally caught up with it after struggling to survive.

But at the moment of receiving the ball, Carter immediately adjusted his breathing and then took action steadily!

In the third game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2001, Carter, who scored 50 points and 9 three-pointers, told the world that he was not only a deduction player.

And those teams that don’t believe it all paid the price for it!

"brush!"

"The second consecutive three-pointer hit, Vince Carter widened the gap further! What about the defense? What about the Warriors' defense? They actually let Carter shoot two open spots in a row! Or do they think Carter cannot pose a threat?"

Hubby Brown spread his arms and the Warriors should give Carter enough respect outside the three-point line!

"Vins, you're shooting beautifully!" Link smiled and pointed at Carter. The old flying man was indeed ruthless in the key battle!

Carter prepared for the game so seriously before the game, but it was not just about being a show.

Don’t ignore any veteran who still has the heart to win. Their bodies may be getting older, but their hearts longing for victory will never stop beating!

On the court, the Warriors players immediately started to communicate. It was obvious that they were indeed caught off guard.

He was shot twice in a row and was shot in two consecutive three-pointers, which was completely unexpected.

The Warriors have strong self-adjustment ability. After the next goal, they did not hit the basket without authorization. Whiteside has used two blocks to weave the Grizzlies' no-fly zone.

Curry continued to look for opportunities outside the three-point line, but unfortunately, his shot was bumped into the basket several times before bounced out again.

Even Curry can't win every shot.

Link took the rebound and then pushed quickly, not giving the Warriors a chance to organize an offense.

After Klay Thompson was in two consecutive days by Carter, he became much more honest this time. He did not quit Carter directly, but kept a safe distance from Carter.

The pace of the game became very fast, but Old Carter was not at all discomfort, and he ran wildly with a group of guys who were about ten years younger than him.

Link suddenly stopped at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Seeing this, Carter leaned towards Link, and the two of them hit each other and cooperated with each other!

"Link is actually doing tactics for Carter! It seems that Carter has completely won the trust of his teammates!"

Carter took the basketball from Link, drove a step and drifted out!

Thompson quickly bypassed Link and hurriedly reached out to interfere.

Although it was half a beat late, Thompson was sure that he had somehow interfered with Carter's shooting.

Carter's ball was drifted and disturbed, which was quite difficult. This kind of ball was no longer something that a player of his age could play.
