“It’s his confidence, his aggressiveness and his ability to read the game. He had as much impact, and he left his mark on the match as much in Game 2 as he did tonight. On the first, he put 9 points, and on the second 29”.
Erik Spoelstra knows how valuable each member of his roster is. Last night, it was not on Jimmy Butler that Miami mainly relied to falter the Celtics, but on its “role players” and Gabe Vincent’s faultless score was the perfect demonstration.
Author of 29 points, the “combo guard” flew over the meeting thanks to his reading of the game and his skill to finish at 29 points with a percentage that commands admiration at this stage of the competition: 11/14 including 6/9 3-point!
The best game of his career at the right time
Once again, his ability to properly decipher what the Celtics were offering in defense allowed him to do well, especially on pick-and-roll, even if he had to score more than usual.
“For me, it always depends on the pace of the match, if someone has a hot hand at that moment, we will make sure that the pick-and-roll finds it eventually. What my teammates keep telling me is to be aggressive when I come out of the pick-and-roll and take my read from there. With this confidence they give me, when I see a few shots coming in, it pushes me to continue.he said after his best offensive game of his career.
His match was above all the symbol of the insolent success of this Heat, to whom everything succeeded or almost. While we expected a reaction from the Celtics, it was a huge “blowout” that Joe Mazzulla’s troops took in the teeth. However, nothing to surprise Gabe Vincent!
“I don’t know if ‘surprise’ is the right word. Finally, we played well tonight, we defended, we put our shots. We forced turnovers… It was just great to be at home, I think we were able to rely on our public to keep the momentum.continued the rear, who remains focused on the main objective, to finish the job to find the NBA Finals. “He’s the first to get four wins. We cannot be satisfied with three”.
