In general, whenever a player sets a halftime three-point record in the playoffs, the game will eventually lose suspense.

1992 Finals Game 1 was Drexler’s most unforgettable night.

Because that night, he officially fell behind Michael Jordan in ranks.

The Portland people felt good about themselves, thinking Michael Jordan and Drexler were on the same level, and local media even wrote satirically: “Michael’s three-pointers are really ‘amazing,’ we have to be careful not to let him shoot us to death.”

Thus, Jordan hit six three-pointers in the first half, scored 35 points in 19 minutes, fulfilling the Portland media’s wish, making the game lose suspense by halftime.

Then there’s the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals Game 1, Jordan+Ewing’s Knicks VS the strongest duo in history.

Roger hit eight three-pointers in the first half, breaking the record set by Michael Jordan, and similarly, made the game lose suspense by halftime.

Now, Vince Carter seems to have embarked on this great path.

Following Michael Jordan’s six three-pointers and Roger’s eight three-pointers in a half, Carter once again broke the record, elevating the number to 9!

Leading by 17 points at halftime doesn’t necessarily make the entire second half lose suspense, but it’s certain that the Toronto Raptors have their hands on the victory door handle.

They just need to gently pull it to embrace victory.

The Raptors as a whole are greatly energized, Vince Carter has already scored 39 points in the first half, scoring over 40 today is locked in.

There’s even a high chance of scoring 50!

If Carter really does it, this would undoubtedly be the strongest response to Roger’s 43 points in the last game.

All signs indicate that tonight belongs to Vince Carter’s career night.

The fans didn’t expect this series to be so exciting, Carter scored 42 in the first game, Roger 43 in the second.

Today, Carter has responded to Roger’s mythical performance.

Face-to-face duels are the best to watch, speaking of excitement, the Hawks’ second round matches were definitely more thrilling than the Lakers’.

But many people are thinking about something else — the Hawks’ dominance seems far inferior to the Lakers.

The Lakers can’t trail by double digits to any opponent in the first half, can’t repeatedly be pushed into a corner in the first two rounds.

After losing to the Magic in the last round, Roger vented with a 51-point slaughter, and won the following two games by 20 points each.

What about today?

How will Roger stop the Hawks from possibly losing to a team with 40 wins again?

In fact, losing a game in the playoffs is as normal as feeling awe-inspiring when watching a masterpiece.

There’s only one instance of a perfect playoffs championship in NBA history, last season’s Hawks.

Only Kobe’s statement “Atlanta Hawks always grind against some 40-win teams” magnified all this.

Plus, due to the Lakers’ terrifying dominance, it seems as if the Hawks not showing the same dominance this season would make it difficult to compete with the Lakers.

In fact, this has affected Roger.

He believes that if the Raptors win one game, this series would no longer be perfect.

So after Lenny Wilkens set the tactics, Roger told everyone with a deep voice: “Continue each other’s duties in the second half, I won’t lose by double digits to anyone, nor will I let anyone score fifty on me without reacting.

When we return here again, we’ll celebrate victory.”

No one doubted Roger’s words, even though no team could win when the opponent breaks the halftime three-point record.

On the other side, Raptors players equally trusted that Carter would lead everyone to victory.

Charles Oakley was an eyewitness to Roger’s eight three-pointers in the first half in 1997, and even after four whole years, Oakley could never forget that feeling.

That feeling where you can breathe, but it feels suffocating.

Roger seemed like he could score whenever he shot, and this suffocating feeling continued into the second half for the Knicks.

It’s like Roger strangling your neck, going crazy, and you can’t even scream!

And today, the man hitting consecutive threes is right next to him.

Oakley walked onto the court, pressing down on Carter’s shoulder: “Vince.”

“Charles?”

“I know this might sound pointless, but…

beat that bastard, and you’d be one of the league’s best players!”

Vince Carter put his headband back on, breathed in the hot air: “We will win, Charles, we will win.”

The entire Raptors team and all the fans in Canada are filled with anticipation, expecting the team to secure this critical victory.

The second half started quickly, and Carter first tested his three-point touch as soon as he began.

Raptors fans stood up early like before, wanting to celebrate Carter’s 40th point.

It’s a pity though, under Paul Pierce’s tight defense, Carter’s first shot in the second half bounced off the rim.

The feel for a three-pointer is difficult to predict, you never know when you’ll suddenly find your groove or lose sight of the basket.

That’s also why coaches in this era mainly reject three-pointers, because they are too unpredictable.

You arrange a bunch of three-point tactics, but if the players aren’t feeling it, your efforts will be for nothing.

Compared to three-pointers or overall offense, defense is clearly more controllable.

So now, mostly coaches in the league emphasize defense.

And this is the Raptors’ focus for the second half, with a 17-point lead, solidifying defense brings victory closer.
