977: demigod, demigod

The moment Vince Carter threw the ball into it, the entire Oracle Arena covered their heads with both hands. Nearly 20,000 fans in the audience seemed to be about to suffocate.

Steve Cole stared at the stadium blankly, as if he couldn't believe what he had just seen. Really? The Memphis Grizzlies actually used a veteran who was almost 40 years old to shoot the final goal. And, he even made a fucking shot!

Cole confirmed that he had no fireworks, and the basketball just pressed the whistle and entered the net. Vince Carter shook Livingston away, and at the bottom corner on the left, he invested in a difficult jump shot.

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

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

And when the basketball was hollowed into the net, Link instantly lost his mind.

He shouted "Damn" and rushed towards Carter, hugging him tightly.

Then, more and more people rushed up. Coaches including Joggle and Snyder couldn't help but join the carnival.

"You did Vince, you did it! You threw the ball into it, we won, we fucking won! On the left bottom corner, I knew that it was your territory, I knew!" Link became incoherent. He had never been so excited when he completed the final kill by himself.

But today, watching Carter's 14-year nightmare finally breaking, Link couldn't hold back.

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

Link knew that this shot was more than just a kill for Carter!

All the Grizzlies players were yelling to hug Carter tightly, but what about Carter? He was still calm. In his opinion, this was what he should do!

14 years of preparation and waiting finally came true!

"The game is over, Vince Carter completed the finale! This position is almost exactly the same as his finale in the Eastern Conference semi-finals tiebreak in 2001! But this time, Vince Carter changed the ending!"

Mike Bryn was roaring, and on the court, the Grizzlies players were still celebrating recklessly.

That's right, this is Oakland, Oracle Arena, and the Warriors' territory!

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

The Warriors fans were all stunned. Some of them covered their heads and were at a loss. Some looked confused and felt unbelievable.

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

They had several chances to kill the game, but were all destroyed in incredible ways by the Grizzlies.

Link's blocking of Thompson at the last moment and the steal of Curry were already magical enough.

The Warriors fans did not expect that the more amazing thing was still at the end!

The Warriors players began to leave the court in disappointment, and they really couldn't accept such an ending.

If this game is won, the Warriors will take a 2-1 lead. In the next situation where they have to play a home game, the Warriors even have the chance to turn the total score of the series into 3-1!

But now, with two key defenses from Link and Carter's unexpected shots, everything is ruined.

Their fantasy advantages and their fantasy victory are all ruined. This sense of loss is something that Warriors players have never experienced this season.

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

Steve Cole has not left yet, but he is still standing on the sidelines, staring at the Grizzlies players celebrating.

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

Kerr now deeply realizes that he must not underestimate any player in the Grizzlies. Even if he is a veteran who is nearly 40 years old...

Carter was still in the arms of his teammates, and the "half-man and half-god" was rosy 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 critical battle. He is very happy that he can still play a role at the age of 38. He is very happy that he did not make it to the finals while lying down.

That's right, the finals.

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

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

This team has the real championship gene!

When the reporter on the scene walked up to Carter, the veteran who had already grown up a beard and wearing a hairband was still sobbing.

"Vins, congratulations. After that shot just now, you became the oldest player to win the finals in the playoffs since Rockets player Eddie Johnson in 1997! What's your mood now?"

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

"I'm not afraid of shooting under pressure or shooting a decisive goal. This psychological trait has helped me and allowed me to complete this goal confidently. From then on, I've pointed it to live. Sometimes, you miss important shots, for example, when I was in 2001, you would keep thinking about it until the opportunity for redemption appeared. I'm very happy that after so many years, the opportunity finally came. And now, the only thing I want to do is to enter the finals with the team and assist Link in winning the third championship of his career! This is not the end, we will continue to move forward!"

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

People say he is here to hug him, people say he joins a team that just defeated him without backbone. People say that Vince Carter has no fighting spirit of the past, and he is now a pitiful veteran who wants to find a place to play with the 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 in the game and a shocking left corner, Vince Carter won the most beautiful battle in his career.

Now he can't score 50 points, nor will he say anything pretentious in anger.

But his determination never wavered!

The hero's legs no longer fly high, but the hero's heart has never gone far away! The half-man and the half-god will continue to move forward towards his career goals!

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

The Grizzlies played a beautiful turnaround, and they used their five-squad to successfully curb the Warriors' eagerness to expand their advantage.

They used the veterans with big hearts to educate Thompson, Curry and Green and other juniors.

They used a determined victory to tell the Aucklanders what the heart of the champion is!

At the post-match press conference, Jogel also praised Carter, "Vins deserves such a mobile phone, a player like him deserves a playoff moment to commemorate. The most important thing is that we all believe that he can do it. Competitive sports have nothing to do with age. He is the best player outside the three-point line today, that's that simple."

After saying that, Jogel smiled at the reporters, but people found that Jogel's smile seemed a bit reluctant.

Indeed, it was exciting to have Carter completed the finale. Even if it wasn't for the Grizzlies and Carter fans, they would be excited for a long time to see this finale.

But while being excited and happy, Jogel was also very worried.
Chapter completed!
