One Guard

Yiyang dashed out of the three-point line and found that the **** Frenchman Dior was still following him. He knew that he couldn't receive any more basketballs today, and Popovich had completely locked himself up!

So, Yiyang Chong his French teammate Gobert gesticulated. Said it is a gesture, there is nothing complicated in fact. Yiyang just pointed to Carter, nothing more.

Gobert hesitated, but still passed the ball to the 25 who had just played. Prior to this, Carter had taken a total of three shots from the three-point line and hit two goals.

Yiyang looked at Carter from a distance, and he couldn't do anything anymore now. He still remembers that Carter said he trusted himself during the 20-second timeout. And now, Yiyang trusts Carter so much.

After Carter received the basketball, he did not hesitate to run to the corner he was most familiar with, the left bottom corner. Outside the three-point line, in the bottom left corner, Carter once again took off from this familiar place.

Familiar, because in the seventh game of the 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals, he once missed a backward three-pointer in exactly the same position. In the days that followed, this scene appeared again and again in Carter’s dreams. His painful memories.

In every training session since 2001, Carter will practice more in the position he had originally missed. He has been waiting, looking forward to, and looking forward to the chance of redemption.

This opportunity first waited, it turned out to be a full 13 years. Carter knew that facing the Spurs, even if he scored this lore, he could not recover the regret he had made 13 years ago. But the hero is still looking forward to it, but he has a wish in his twilight years.

In order to avoid Ginobili's defense, Carter also specially made a false shooting. After Ginobili lost his center of gravity, the "Old Flying Man" took advantage of the time difference to officially take off.

Yiyang watched Carter leaping high, his body slightly leaned back, and the basketball flew out of his fingertips. When the basketball is halfway through, the red light on the backboard is already on. Yiyang couldn't help squeezing his fists, he was so nervous for the first time in so many years since he entered the league! This sense of tension even surpassed the feeling he felt when he first landed in the NBA!

Time seemed to slow down, and that **** basketball just refused to get close to the hoop. Yiyang saw that the stands of the American Airlines Center Arena were blue, and everyone stood up, holding their breath, waiting for the result.

For a long time, for a long time, Yiyang didn't even know how long had passed. That basketball, against the backboard red light tube, is in the eyes of fans all over the world looking forward to. Did not touch the basket, fell directly into the net!

"Beep!" The electronic buzzer sounded.

"Boom!" All the fans in the stands raised their arms, and the whole arena seemed to be shaking!

"Go in! Go in! Can you believe it!? Vince Carter! This is the moment for the Dallas Mavericks!" Mike Brin's roar became the perfect embellishment at the moment.

The blue water boiled, and Carter, who hit the lore, was like a transparent water droplet. At this moment, he was surprisingly calm. He closed his eyes, then the corners of his mouth slightly cocked.

But Yiyang and his teammates couldn't calm down. At the moment the ball was scored, Yiyang rushed towards Carter with his fastest speed. The fat guy in Cuban fell over when he fell from the audience, but he didn't even think about it, got up and continued to lean towards Carter.

Carter opened his eyes again, did not smile, did not roar. He just stood in place with open arms, nothing more. This guy, he was finally relieved.

Yiyang jumped up abruptly and touched Carter's chest in the air. Subsequently, Nowitzki, Iguodala, Gobert, Cuban, Tony Allen and all the other Mavericks players on the court rushed to hug Carter tightly.

Behind him is a group of fans wearing blue T-shirts with their arms raised up and shouting wildly. In the American Airlines Center Arena, the cheers of the fans have not dissipated for a long time. Some old fans with gray hair roared red, but they still didn't mean to stop.

Carter was hugged by his teammates, but there was still no expression on his face. It's just that he raised his right hand, never put it down!

After Popovich saw this scene, he left without saying a word. Tony Parker looked back at the Mavericks players who were celebrating wildly. Unexpectedly, after locking that number one, there would be a guy who hadn't expected it to stand up.

Where is Ginobili? Duncan touched the bald head habitually. Well, some fans even suspect that the piece of hair on the top of Ginobili's head may have been rubbed like this by Duncan.

Under Duncan's "touching to kill", Ginobili could only helplessly shook his head, accepting this fact.

In the last 1.7 seconds of the game, he broke through the frightening Tony Allen and faced Gobert, who was 15 years younger than himself, and successfully scored with a drawbar layup. This night, it should have belonged to Manu Ginobili. But the "half-human, half-god" guy seemed a little unconvinced.

"Hey." Manu sighed. After so many years, their group of old guys still have to fight me and you on the court. Who would have thought that in 2014, Ginobili and Carter could still dominate the game?

The old wines of Spurs and Mavericks have added some flavor to them.

The Spurs players left the field silently. At this time, even the MVP of Yiyang had to stand aside. Tonight, there is only one star in the American Airlines Center Arena, Vince Carter!

The Mavericks players gradually dispersed from Carter, Cuban is still yelling, he has decided to continue to sign with Carter this summer! Yiyang has been reluctant to leave Carter. When he asked the question "Do you think we can win?" a few minutes ago, Yiyang never thought that Carter would answer him in this way.

Carlisle stood on the sidelines, in a panic. In the last 1.7 seconds, he chose to trust Carter and used Carter as a backup attack point. Unexpectedly, Carter actually gave him such a generous return.

"It's crazy Darrell, this world is so **** crazy!" Carlisle's face was pale, and he was obviously frightened.

"Don't you go up and celebrate with the players?" Carlisle's assistant joked.

"I thought, Darrell. But I don't know why, I can't make any **** steps now!"

Carlisle stayed still, stiff. Maybe an old guy like him will take more time to recover from the shock.

Carter still didn't smile, just like the dunk contest in 2000. There is no joy on this guy's face, only fierce energy!

When interviewed by reporters, Carter threw his headband into the stands. At the age of 37, he is still like the "half-man, half-god" who refuses to accept him, with a domineering spirit in his bones.

Yiyang rejected all interviews from reporters today. Although Carter completed the lore, he scored 27+10, which is definitely one of the keys to the Mavericks' victory. If there is no Yiyang, Carter may not even have a chance to complete the lore.

But whenever a reporter found Yiyang, Yiyang waved his hand and pointed at Carter. "He is the hero today. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask him."

At the press conference after the game, Popovich was also very helpless with the 2-0 lagging situation. In two consecutive games by the opponent's three-pointer, Popovich has never encountered such an unlucky thing in his life.

"Ginobili's defense is very good, but Carter still shot the ball. We can't do this, we have to admit that Carter did a good job. Manu has done everything he can, but Carter still scores. Up."

When facing reporters, Popovich's tone was full of helplessness. After half a year away from the stadium, he finished the lore as soon as he came back. Popovich can only sigh in his heart. Carter Carter, you are so **** cruel!

On the other hand, the atmosphere of the Mavericks is much more cheerful. Cuban in a good mood also attended the press conference today. The picture of him falling to the ground in order to rush into the court and embrace Carter over the stands has also become a topic of ridicule by many reporters.

But in the face of this embarrassing scene, Cuban was not angry.

"All I was thinking about was pushing away all the guys in front of me, and I want to hug Carter! After a fall, I was even more convinced that I was not dreaming!"

"Coach Carlisle, Carter has his own playoff lore since then. At 37 years and 90 days, he has become the highest age to complete a playoff lore since the Rockets player Eddie Johnson in 1997. Player. What do you think about this? At the last moment, did you deliberately arrange for Carter to catch the ball?"

"I must admit that the person who originally planned the final blow was also. But the Spurs did not give him a chance, so we had to temporarily change the candidate. After that, you have seen everything. To be honest, Vince should have this. "His phone will be released," Carlisle said. "A player like him deserves to have his own playoff moment to commemorate."

"What do you think of Carter's lore? At that moment, I was watching a hero finish his performance." The MVP of Yiyang also put down his posture today. He didn't want to grab Carter's limelight.

In the end, the reporters set their sights on Carter. Everyone has finished asking, but Carter, the protagonist, has not yet spoken.

"Mr. Vince, what do you think of your performance in the last 1.7 seconds?"

After listening to the question, Carter smiled. How long has he not come to the press conference? Unexpectedly, it became the focus.

"First of all, I have to thank my teammates, coaches and bosses. During the six months I was injured, they could abandon me, but they didn't. After the comeback, they could let others take my place, but they didn't. In the last 1.7 seconds, they You can choose other people to perform shots, but no! I have to thank them for the trust they gave me! Thanks to them, and I am willing to trust a 37-year-old and 90-day old guy." Carter said, his eyes a little red, but He quickly recovered.

The Dallas Mavericks gave him far more than what he gave to the Mavericks.

"So ~www.novelmtl.com~ I am willing to help the team win in any way, in training, in the locker room, any way. But if the coach and teammates are willing to give you this opportunity, I will naturally cherish it more."

"I am not afraid of pressured shots, not afraid of winning shots, or even missed shots. This psychological trait has helped me and allowed me to complete this shot confidently. From then on I will live by pointing to it. , You will miss important shots. For example, when I was in 2001, you would keep thinking about it until the chance of salvation appeared. I am very happy that after so many years, the opportunity finally came."

After speaking, Carter finally showed a long-lost smile.

Yes, after 4724 days, Carter used a perfect self-redemption to dispel the lingering nightmare...

And this veteran also made a lot of effort on the road to the championship.

2-0, the Dallas Mavericks took the lead in the Western Conference finals. When this team will no longer rely on Yiyang alone to support it, it also means that their moment is coming!
