Three Hundred and Fifteen: I Was Abused by that Kid

In LeBron James' fantasy, this should be a big win.

He can easily handle Link and get a high score. The Heat can continue their record of 17 consecutive victories at home and get rid of the haze of yesterday's disastrous defeat to the Celtics.

People will no longer discuss the duel between Link and James, because after this game, people will find that Link and James are still far behind.

After the game, he will enjoy his moment of glory in Miami. Then take the Miami Heat and continue to advance towards the No. 1 ranking in the Eastern Conference.

Now, however, all illusions are shattered.

The game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Heat's Big Three were still present. This means that the Heat have not won the game firmly.

The Heat defended very fiercely in this round, because the defense in this round is very important and will directly determine whether they still have a chance to win today.

Wade defended himself in front of Conley, preventing him from organizing the offense calmly.

In the second quarter, Wade proved unable to contain Link's offense. So in the second half, Spoelstra re-used James to play the third position, allowing him to confront Link.

And Wade was freed again to defend Mike Conley, who was equally threatening today.

It is indeed difficult for Conley to get a gap under Wade's experienced defense. The Heat's defense has been very sharp since the first position.

Link was running hard, but James was inseparable from him. Link must admit that his breathing is a little messy now. Confronting James has never been easy.

Playing against him cost at least twice as much as playing against others!

Link couldn't get out of the gap for a long time, and the others didn't have a good chance. The 24-second attack time is ticking away, and it looks like the Heat are about to defend!

In the last 3 seconds, Conley had to hand the ball to Link, who was outside the three-point line. Link shot immediately after receiving the ball, and James leaped high. Interference alone was not enough for him, and he was going to block the shot!

In the last three seconds, you shouldn't fake your vote anymore!

However, when James jumped up, the familiar scene reappeared. The only one in the air is James himself, and Link is still standing firmly with his feet on the ground!

"Impossible!" James whispered in his heart, the last 3 seconds, what else do you want to do if you don't vote directly! ?

Link's next actions gave James the answer.

After link flew James, he dribbled a step to the right and back and walked beyond the three-point line, avoiding James, and then shot.

Although there were only three seconds left in the attack time, Link was still not in a hurry and completed the whole movement steadily and completely. Grant Hill's rich experience allowed Link to always make the most correct decisions naturally.

Link has naturally made many mistakes since he entered the league. But none of these mistakes were made by inexperience.

All the inexperienced problems of rookies will not appear in Link.

James was stunned to see Link remain so calm and clear-headed in the last three seconds of the 24-second shot clock.

Today's matchup with Link made James feel like he was playing against a long-established star, not a second-year undrafted pick.

Indeed, Link, who finished four years in college, was older than the other rookies. But even as an older rookie, James felt that Link was too mature.

The moment Link made a shot, an electronic buzzer sounded, and a red light glowed on the backboard. The 24-second attack time was up!

Accompanied by beeps and red lights, the basketball hits the net hollowly, and Link hits a three-pointer!

After scoring a goal, the first reaction of almost all Heat players was to rush to the referee to indicate that the goal was invalid. They believed that Link made the shot after the 24-second shot clock had expired.

And what about Link? Instead of arguing with the Heat players and referees, he walked to the bench silently without saying a word.

The referee has no way of judging whether the ball has timed out.

So I can only stop the game and watch the video.

Through the video playback frame by frame, the referee and the fans can clearly see that the moment the basketball left Link's hands, the red light on the backboard did not light up. And the number on the rebound timer is 0.3!

"Link's three-pointer at the buzzer is effective! In this way, the Heat will fall behind by a full 15 points in the last 2 minutes of the game! It's so beautiful. Link's unflappable key shot almost killed the game !"

Mike Breen was cheering beside the commentary stand. Although he was a neutral fan, he was neither facing the Heat nor Link, but Link's shot just now was really wonderful. Even neutral fans can't help but want to applaud.

"Take the pot" at the critical moment, and in the last 3 seconds, he calmly flew James and hit the shot. Again, he is a well-deserved offensive core.

"Why didn't you argue with the referee just now?" Looking at Link who was extremely calm from the beginning to the end, Hollins asked curiously.

Generally, with this kind of ball, shouldn't the person who scored the goal run to the referee excitedly, saying that the goal just now was completely effective?

After Link scored a goal, he just ran to the bench to rest calmly, as if the referee's penalty had nothing to do with him.

However, Link just replied lightly, "I know I made the shot before the time ran out, so there's nothing to argue about."

"Uh..." Hollins wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although Link was his own player, Hollins still secretly sighed in his heart, "What a fucking confidence!"

Although the game is still over two minutes away, Link's three-pointer is simply murderous, and it has already made the Heat lose their spirits.

After finally defending for 24 seconds, being scored by the opponent at the buzzer or grabbing an offensive rebound is the most demoralizing.

Link's goal has already made the Heat feel ashamed.

From the beginning of the first quarter to the fourth quarter until now, the Heat have been chasing points hard. But after chasing and chasing, they just can't get past the hurdle of single digits.

The continuous pressure for the entire game made the Heat even weaker.

After a few minutes, the Heat did not organize a decent counterattack again. 32 seconds before the end of the game, when Spoelstra replaced the Big Three, the game officially ended early.

There was a dead silence in the American Airlines Center, and everyone covered their heads with their hands in disbelief. The invincible Miami Heat actually lost to the "not popular" Memphis Grizzlies? The Heat's 17-game winning streak at home was interrupted like this? Link, the undrafted player, is actually the player with the highest score in the game?

All these things that are difficult for Heat fans to accept have become reality.

Eventually, when the electronic beep sounded again, no one was arguing with the referee anymore. , The Grizzlies played an unbelievable state in Miami, and with a difference of 15 points, they tightly suppressed the Heat!

The performance of the Heat's Big Three today is not bad. James scored 21 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds on 8 of 19 shots. Wade made 8 of 18, 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Bosh 15 8, 19 points and 4 rebounds.

The Big Three scored 60 points together, with good firepower. But all of this was overshadowed by Link, who scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Last season, when Link met James, he could only be tortured, but today, Link no longer suffers in terms of performance and statistics!

Although the Heat fought back to back, it was true that some physical strength appeared. But winning is winning. Link used the confrontation ability he had just acquired to resist James' crazy bite.

Link is very happy. On the one hand, he is one step closer to becoming "Devil Mountain". On the other hand, he has also received a very big promotion now. If it weren't for the upgrade a few days ago, he really doesn't know if he can hold James.

Although it is impossible for him to beat top superstars every time, at least Link will not only be abused every time he meets top superstars.

After Durant and Kobe, Link won Wade and James again today. His status in the league is going up crazily!

After the game, the reporters found Wade, who scored the most intense points with Link in the second quarter, "Do you have anything to say about this loss?"

Wade first looked up at Link's data, then shook his head, "What else can I say? I was completely abused by that kid."

Wade smiled wryly. Although he was joking, it also expressed Wade's helplessness and unwillingness.

"The Flash" now only feels fortunate that Link is not in the East.
