Four Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Twenty-Seven Consecutive Victories that Were Aborted

Before the timeout came back, James' key three-pointer gave Spoelstra hope. This is not the first time the Filipino coach thought the Heat had a chance to win.

But he could never have imagined that Link would be able to fight back with a four-pointer so quickly. This time, Spoelstra really experienced the feeling of falling from the cloud to the bottom in an instant.

On the court, Link was tearing the jerseys of the Rockets fans with a look of horror in their eyes. He's wild and annoying to Heat fans. But the most disgusting thing is that Link really has the right to be so rampant.

In the last 34 seconds of the game, if Link hits a penalty, the Grizzlies will take a 9-point lead!

Instantly widened the difference from 5 points to 9 points, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Heat. It is not difficult to chase 5 points in 54 seconds, but it is not easy to chase 9 points in 34 seconds.

After the excited celebration, Link returned to the free throw line and stood up. At this point, the fans in Miami were so frightened that they forgot to boo.

Link adjusted his breathing after receiving the basketball, then glanced at James. At this time, the face of the first person in the alliance was full of despair!

Link shot steadily, continuing the fiery touch he had just made when he shot in the interference. The basketball is still hollow into the net, and there are no accidents. Link scored four points and the Grizzlies officially expanded the difference to four points!

Link just finished the free throw, Spoelstra called a timeout. But everyone knows that this suspension is more likely to be just the Heat's dying struggle.

"Too strong, 42 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals! Another 40-point triple-double! Link has no reservations against LeBron today, he put his best form Take it out! He let everyone know that even LeBron James can't necessarily stop the full-blown Link! The game is not over yet, but the Heat may not have a chance!"

The entire American Airlines Center has become lifeless, their 12-game winning streak, James's continuous magical performance, is likely to be destroyed today!

The Heat fans seemed to have suddenly woken up from a beautiful dream, but the scene in front of them was extremely cruel.

The Miami Heat are not invincible, and neither is LeBron James. They are the defending champions, but that was last season's accolade, that doesn't belong now!

"LeBron, Dwayne, Chris, everyone, cheer up, it's not over yet!" Spoelstra also tried to rally the team,

However, judging from the expressions of James and others, the effect was minimal.

James doesn't have the heart to listen to Spoelstra's chicken soup, he is now full of Link's trash talk.

"What a pity, you almost made it today. But in the end, you can't get 30 points and you can't win the game."

"Didn't you say that you can get 100 points as long as you want? Let me see and see, I won't prevent you too much."

"Believe it or not, your score today can't even exceed 30?"

If it's just trash talk, it won't bother James. Why is Bird's trash talk so cruel? Because he said that you are here to get second, you really can only be second. Why are some people afraid of Jordan's trash talk? Because of his strength, he can always accomplish his goals.

If you just say nasty things, people will think you're just a clown at best. But if you can turn it into reality with practical actions, others will be afraid of you.

And today, Link has undoubtedly turned all his trash talk into reality!

This kind of frustration, James has never experienced since he came to the Heat. The domineering "little emperor" is also the first time he has been knocked down by other people's trash talk!

The thought of Link turning all his trash talk into reality made James feel particularly powerless. Faced with such a guy, is there really any chance of winning?

With James still immersed in his own frustration, the game resumed. He went on the court in a daze, 34 seconds and 9 minutes, everyone knew how difficult it was. In that year, McGrady "only" scored 13 points in 35 seconds in his performance.

Even if the standard is lowered by 4 points, this is still difficult to accomplish.

"Does the Miami Heat still have a chance? Now for them, the timing and the point difference are very critical. The Heat don't just score fast, but also score efficiently! Let's see what the defending champion will do!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the Heat kicked the ball out. James catches the ball and shoots, and the Heat are pressed for time.

However, this hasty three-point shot is not James' specialty. Coupled with Iguodala's tight interference, James's shot is crooked and floating.

"Boom!" The basketball hit the front of the basket, and James, who almost collapsed psychologically, really missed!

However, this ball was a long rebound, and Wade was very lucky, just on the landing point of the basketball, and won the offensive rebound before Link. Then, "The Flash" gave the ball to Ray Allen. The Heat's most efficient three-point shooter controls the Heat's destiny!

However, at this time, Ray Allen is no longer the young man who shot three-pointers like rain when he was young. As a nearly 40-year-old veteran, Ray Allen's shooting stability has not been as good as before.

Under the active interference of Conley, Ray Allen did not make a three-pointer! This time, Randolph protected the rebound and did not give the Heat another chance! Two consecutive opportunities were not seized, the Heat's failure is a foregone conclusion!

"Foul, foul!" Spoelstra still shouted on the sidelines, hoping to use foul tactics to buy time.

But everyone knows it's just a useless struggle.

After Conley was fouled, Link gathered everyone and said a few words. This is not the first time this season that Link has assembled his teammates to speak on the court, and everyone in the Grizzlies is used to being led by Link.

Stevens and Pera vigorously righted Link, which is undoubtedly the right decision for now.

Gay may have been the Grizzlies' most comprehensive player in the past, but Gay does not possess this kind of leadership.

Later, Conley stood on the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws steadily. He was not overwhelmed by the pressure, and the difference became 11 points! It seems that Link's speech is also somewhat useful. This time, the light of American Airlines Center was completely obscured.

The last few dozen seconds were extremely long for Heat fans. Because for them, it wasn't just a regular-season loss, it was a goodbye to their best moment of the season!

12-game winning streak, James' record-breaking performance... These are all waving goodbye to them.

Of course, only Link knew. The victory in this game also allowed him to change the history of the NBA!

The 27-game winning streak of the Big Three of the Heat will no longer exist!

"Beep~~~~~" The electronic beep sounded like a death knell, officially announcing the death of the Miami Heat!

LeBron James looked down at the disappointed fans and lowered his crowned head.

With 25 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, James' data did not rise. Quasi-triple-double, at first glance, James' performance doesn't seem to be bad.

However, his shooting percentage of less than 30% and his pre-game remarks made James' data particularly eye-catching.

Link did what he said and did not let James score 30. And James' remarks about 100 points in a single game before the game made him fall into dire straits.

As the so-called is to dig a hole and jump.

In contrast, Link's 40-point triple-double undoubtedly overwhelmed James. As a player who is directly opposite James, he can score 40 points and a triple-double at the American Airlines Center, which is legendary enough.

After the game, a reporter found the down-and-out James and asked him what he wanted to say about the game.

James lowered his head and shook his head, "It's a pity that our winning streak has been interrupted, but this is not the end, we will continue to work hard to avoid making mistakes like today in the playoffs."

James began to console himself, thinking that the Grizzlies wouldn't make it to the finals anyway, so he didn't need to be so nervous.

When Link faced the camera, what he said was much simpler.

"See you in the finals, it's time for the championship to change hands."

This is the first time the Grizzlies and Link have expressed their desire for a championship in public.

But under the premise of a 40-point triple-double, no one thought Link was just talking casually.

Seeing Link, who was full of confidence on the court, Stevens smiled with relief. He and Pera had basically achieved their goals.

From 1995 to 2013, it took nearly 20 years.

The first golden age of the Memphis Grizzlies is finally here!
