Three Hundred and Eleven: Easy Ghost

LeBron James certainly knows how popular Link is this year. The Grizzlies have been firmly in the top four in the Western Conference since the beginning of the season. Link also became the second undrafted player in NBA history to start the All-Star team after Ben Wallace.

Not to mention that he also broke the three-point contest record, won a 40-point triple-double, defeated Kobe, and created a series of incredible.

But James still believes that if he does his best, it should not be a problem to defeat Link. Link was equally amazing last season, but after James and Link played against each other, he really didn't have much impression.

Because last year, Link was too weak for him. James still didn't believe that after only one year, that Chinese American would undergo a radical change.

James knew that Link must have improved and must have become stronger. But it is also certain that he is not strong enough to challenge himself.

At noon on April 2, James began to prepare for the evening game. Although it was a back-to-back game, James did not slack off. Although he is confident that he can defeat Link, he is not blindly arrogant.

James has never been an arrogant player, and he hardly ever underestimates his opponents. In the confrontation with Link tonight, although James thought he could easily win, he still hoped that he could show his best form.

The aggrieved defeat yesterday still lingers in James' mind until now. And the only way to dilute this loss is to win a game!

In addition to James, the major media and fans are also looking forward to this game.

When it comes to the Heat, people will think of the championship and the super team. But in fact, the Grizzlies have played so far, and the regular season record is basically the same as that of the Heat. So you could say it was actually a close game.

At least in the regular season, the two sides seem to be evenly matched.

Moreover, this is also the first time James and Link have played against each other this season. Link, who has created so many magic in the West, and LeBron James, who has been famous in the league for a long time. Just thinking about the picture of these two people facing each other, fans and the media are extremely excited.

Two teams with similar records, two strong stars. It's all there to attract fans to a game.

So, this game turned into a focus battle on April 2. ESPN sent two generals, Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan, to commentate, which shows how high the status of this game is in ESPN's mind.

In the evening, the American Airlines Center arena is overcrowded, and there are no absentees!

Some fans who didn't get tickets even watched the game through the large LED screen on the square outside the arena. It has to be said that this formation cannot be seen everywhere.

Link must admit that teams with stars do receive different degrees of attention. James, Wade and Bosh, all three of them have their own traffic. When they were put together, their popularity exploded even more.

"Link and the Grizzlies played against the Miami Heat for the first time this year. Last season, the Heat met the Grizzlies twice and won both games. Judging from the historical records of the fight, the Heat also occupy a crushing position." Advantage. But today, everything is likely to change. The Grizzlies are the top three teams in the Western Conference this season. If the Heat don’t want to lose streak, they may have to work harder.”

"Yes, but it is worth mentioning that this game is the first back-to-back game for the Grizzlies this season. After the Heat, the Grizzlies will continue to fight the Warriors and the Thunder. So this game, We don't know how hard the Grizzlies are willing to go."

Kevin Harlan and Mike Breen were already chattering in the commentary booth, while Link and James were seriously trying shots on the court.

Link wanted to fight James with all his heart, and he had been waiting for today since he got a brand new confrontation ability. James, on the other hand, wants to win and completely destroy the opponent who stands in his way.

In this way, amid the cheers of more than 20,000 fans at the scene,

The referee blew his whistle and started the long-awaited game of fans, media and players.

The biggest problem for the Heat is the inside line. From the scrimmage stage, the Heat's inside line looks very weak.

Gasol easily got the basketball from Joe Anthony. Joe Anthony was lucky enough to start with the Heat. Link believes that with his strength, it is impossible for any other team to get the chance to start.

The Grizzlies attacked first, and Conley slowly approached the frontcourt. As soon as he came up, the Grizzlies put on a posture to polish their position with the Heat.

James stared at Link, and it had to be said that Link could feel a sense of oppression just by looking at this guy's body.

But Link was not afraid. After Gasol's off-ball screen came up, Link immediately ran up, trying to run away from James with off-ball running!

As soon as Link flashed a little space, Conley's pass was delivered. This is Conley's ability. Sometimes his role cannot be reflected in the statistics. If this guy is in the Eastern Conference, it will definitely not be a problem to be selected as an All-Star. It's a pity that there are too many strong guards in the West.

But James' defense is not vegetarian either. Just after Link received the ball, James appeared in front of Link again. The movement was so fast that Link didn't have any space at all.

It is not an exaggeration to say that James in this period was at his peak.

In terms of age, James was only 27 years old at this time. Even though he has played in the league for 9 years, he participated in the draft after graduating from high school, and he is only 5 years older than Link, who entered the league after four years of college! It's the year of the fight.

In terms of experience, James has already left the growth period of the Cavaliers. Now he is mature and stable, and after being abused by Dirk last season, he has now practiced a one-handed back attack.

From body to experience to skills, James is now very mature. Therefore, although Link flashed the space to receive the ball, James did not continue to give opportunities.

Link made a few tentative steps after holding the ball, but James was unmoved at all. In desperation, Link handed the ball to Gasol Jr. and asked him to singles Joe Anthony.

"Link didn't play, he chose to pass the ball. The first matchup between the two sides ended so hastily." Mike Breen shook his head in disappointment, but Link's choice was understandable. If he was the type of player obsessed with singles, then he wouldn't be so good.

Gasol turned around and hooked, but under the tough block of Joe Anthony, he knocked out of the frame.

Gasol's offensive stability has always been poor. People always think that Gasol, who has superb skills at the basket and one-handed shooting, can score well, but this is just an illusion. So far in Gasol's career, he has not averaged more than 15 points per game in any season. Last season, the scoring average was only 11.7.

Gasol has always been a center who defends more than offense. He is indeed good, but it has nothing to do with a role like an inside scorer.

Little Gasol missed the attack, and cheers erupted in the American Airlines Center arena. They were all looking forward to the Heat's counterattack!

However, before Bosh and Joe Anthony jumped up, Link, wearing the dark blue No. 0 jersey, suddenly jumped into the penalty area and grabbed an offensive rebound!

After landing, Link firmly carried James, opened up a little space, and succeeded in the second attack at the basket! Before everyone realized what was going on, the Grizzlies scored first.

"This should be two plus one, two plus one!" After scoring the goal, Link still yelled at the referee and put pressure on him. Throughout the process, Link's performance was quite tough!

"Link actually beat James under the basket! Did you see that!? He took the initiative to push away LeBron and gained space for shots under the basket. Haha, this game is starting to be interesting!" Mike Breen drummed He raised his hand, James must have been surprised.

Really surprised, James rubbed his chest that had just been pushed, he didn't expect Link to play so hard now. Even at the basket, he dared to fight himself hard.

So in the Heat's next attack, James also decided to fight back!

After several passes, the basketball fell into James' hands, and the Heat opened him up for singles.

James doesn't have so many bells and whistles, he just shoots in with the ball!

Last season, if James charged up with the ball and collided with Link, Link could be bounced two steps away.

But today, when James collided with Link again, James was surprised to find that the guy actually managed it!

"Boom!" The muffled sound of the collision between muscles made Hollins on the sidelines get goosebumps.

Link was in pain from the bump, and even his upgraded self seemed to be unable to withstand it. This fellow James is indeed a monster! But as long as he gritted his teeth, Link could still put tremendous pressure on James. Not to mention that James can be stopped directly, at least he won't be easily knocked into the air, at least it can cause trouble for James.

James continued to lean on Link to the basket and forced a layup! But under Link's fierce confrontation and the interference of his long arms, James' layup unexpectedly went out of the frame!

He attacked hard, but was blocked by Link with a stronger posture!

"James didn't make the first shot. Link defended so beautifully and fought hard!" Mike Breen clapped his hands and applauded. Link showed his tough side in the second offense at the basket just now and the defense this time. Incisively and vividly!

Now, who else would say that he is just a purely technical player?

"Damn!" James cursed secretly, and hurried back to defense. Link's toughness is a world of difference compared to last season!

He thought it would be easy to beat Link today, what a ghost! There is no doubt that Link gave James a surprise.

James didn't know whether Link would continue to create surprises in the following games. But he knew very well that he had encountered a hard problem today.

Bloody melee. Inevitably.
