876: Playing with Green, 20 to 0

Riding a motorcycle in celebration—this was Vince Carter's most classic celebration move.

Under normal circumstances, Carter would do it after a dunk. And as Carter dunked less and less, this celebration became rarer and rarer.

But just now, Carter had revved up his motorcycle after hitting a three-pointer.

It hadn't been a dunk, but it gave Carter the same thrill.

Carter had hit three consecutive three-pointers, going three for three and scoring nine straight points!

Without a doubt, his threat had far exceeded Steve Kerr's expectations.

Before the game began, neither Kerr nor anyone else could possibly have imagined that Kerr would actually call a timeout because of Carter!

"Vince Carter instantly gave the Grizzlies an eight-point lead. The Grizzlies originally signed this veteran to fill the void left by Mike Miller and Nick Young. At the time, people questioned whether Carter's three-point shooting could handle that role. But after today, I don't think anyone will have any doubts about that anymore!"

Mike Breen's palms were sweating as he watched. That last shot had nearly made him shout in excitement.

From 2001 to 2014, many things had changed, but some things remained the same. For example, Carter's ability to create magic.

Vince Carter rode his "motorcycle" back to the bench and was immediately met with hugs and praise from his teammates.

Carter had practically sparked a 9-0 run by himself. Once play resumed, the Warriors definitely wouldn't dare underestimate this reserve who averaged 5.8 points per game.

"Great job! We've completely achieved the effect we wanted! Keep it up and try to extend the lead! The Warriors are rattled already—this is our chance!"

Even Joerger hadn't expected the second-quarter combination of Carter and Whiteside to work so well. Since that was the case, they had to press their advantage!
