Five Hundred and Eighty: Force Wang Saowei

The media and officials have been building momentum for the finals for two days, and the heat they created will soon be realized, because the regional finals and the finals will not be separated for too long.

Just two days after the Heat defeated the Pacers in Game 7, on June 6, 2013, at FedEx Arena in Memphis, the frenetic summer officially kicked off!

James and his teammates arrived in Memphis a day early and sat on the bus to the hotel. James was surprised. This is the first time he has discovered that the basketball atmosphere in Memphis is so hot.

An inconspicuous small city that has become a global player because of basketball. This way, it's really a bit like Cleveland in the past...

On the building is a huge poster of Link. On the street, people were wearing that No. 0 jersey. In a trance, James seemed to see himself in Cleveland back then.

But James is also very clear, how immature he and the Cavaliers were back then, and the Grizzlies are the same now! Miami Heat, don't miss out!

So, before the start of today's game, the Heat came to the court early to warm up. Even though they were still fighting with the Pacers two days ago, the Heat did not feel any tiredness towards the finals.

Link and his teammates also came early today, and many people were too excited to sleep last night. After all, the Grizzlies are playing in the Finals for the first time. For them, it was an unprecedented experience.

Two hours before the game, Link and James faced each other for the first time in the playoffs this season.

"They look in good spirits." Wade stood beside James and sighed.

In the playoffs this year, Wade was affected by injuries and his state was somewhat sluggish. In the playoffs, he has only averaged 15.9 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 25%... These two data are career lows.

This season, Wade's already riddled knee is really unbearable. Since 2012, Wade has been pumping his knees before games from time to time, no way, because the knee injury is getting worse.

Before the start of today's game, Wade once again pumped knee water. All he wanted was a victory at FedEx Arena. So, seeing the Grizzlies players on the court, Wade's eyes became focused.

Of course Wade will do his best. For a man, in addition to money and family, the most important thing is pride and honor!

"Before the season started, did you ever think that they could reach the finals?" James looked at the wooden floor under his feet and the Grizzlies' logo in the middle of the court, feeling a little dreamy.

"Honestly, I didn't think so. Before, the Memphis Grizzlies didn't seem to have anything to do with honors and the Finals. But now, they're on our side. Hey, we're 0-2 against the Grizzlies this year. …”

"Yeah...Fighting against the Grizzlies in regular time, the record is not good." James pouted.

Wade and James figured it out at the end of the season, and if they hadn't lost to the Grizzlies in early 2013, they would have been on a 27-game winning streak!

But all of this vanished because of the Grizzlies.

"But the playoffs are the playoffs, and I will die with them, don't worry, LeBron." Wade finished and continued to warm up.

James was a little surprised, Wade felt weird today, quite a kind of tragic and solemn that the strong man was gone and never returned.

James did not stay in a daze, but continued to practice three-pointers. Wade will work hard for this game, and he is no exception.

One year after the loss to Dirk, James vowed that he would not allow the finals to fail again!

Two hours later, the FedEx Arena was already buzzing with activity. Before the game started today, the Grizzlies, as usual, held a starter introduction ceremony.

The cheers of the fans and the cool lighting effects on the scene made the blood of the players roll in their bodies.

today,

James was very attentive to the Grizzlies' player introduction ceremony. The mystery of who will replace Iguodala after his injury will be unraveled during the introduction ceremony.

In the end, unsurprisingly, Tony Allen, who was still selected to the All-Defensive Second Team as a backup this year, became the Grizzlies starter.

The corners of James' mouth twitched slightly, everything was under control!

After the lively starter introduction ceremony, players from both sides stood in designated positions.

Link did not stand at the No. 3 position today, but stood at the No. 2 position. In this regard, James is not surprised. Defensively, the Grizzlies will definitely use Tony Allen to defend themselves.

But James is not in a hurry, even with Tony Allen, James is confident!

"The game is about to start, and the Heat have the same starting lineup as they did in the conference finals. In addition to the Big Three, add Chalmers and Haslem. And the Grizzlies, due to Iguodala's injury, will be replaced by Tony Allen started instead of Iguodala. This is also the first time Tony Allen has started this year's playoffs!"

Before the start of the game, Hubie Brown took the time to introduce the starting situation of the two sides to the fans.

Hubie Brown, as a well-known commentator, has one or two games in the finals almost every year, and is invited by ESPN to comment on the game.

But this time, Hubie Brown was finally able to explain his favorite team's finals.

The camera gave a close-up of Iguodala in a suit on the bench, and Iguodala's playoff stats were shown below.

Averaged 16 points, which is a lot of numbers, more points than Wade. And Tony. Allen has almost no ability to score, as we all know.

How the Grizzlies filled the 16-point vacancy became the biggest spectacle of the game.

The referee blew his whistle and the basketball went straight up. The finals have officially begun!

The most criticized thing on the Heat side is the inside line. Although the Heat signed "Birdman" Chris Anderson after January 2013, this still cannot fill the bottomless vacancy of the inside line.

In the scrimmage stage, Pau Gasol won without surprise. Bosh's height is not dominant, and the desire to fight for the ball is not strong.

The fans at FedEx Arena were screaming like crazy, they couldn't wait to see Mr. 50.

The Grizzlies did find Link in their first offense. As the Grizzlies' star, Link has the responsibility to lead the team.

However, James, who was as strong as an ox, came to Link for the first time.

James's height and wingspan are not as exaggerated as Durant's, but his strong frame and focused eyes are enough to make most players lose before confronting him.

Of course Link didn't go it alone as soon as he came up, but called for a screen and played a pick-and-roll with Randolph.

If Link can rely on the pick and roll to dislocate in front of Haslem, it will basically be equivalent to sending points.

Heat captain Haslem is indeed enthusiastic enough, but to be honest, hard power is still not enough. At least compared to Link, it's not on the same level.

Link went to the basket after breaking through the cover, but Link found that the Heat actually chose to double-team in the first round!

Both James and Haslem shrunk in with Link, and the Heat's defense was very firm!

Link knew this was not an opportunity, so he could only pass the ball to Randolph.

But Haslem defended back for the first time, and Randolph didn't get a shot. The Grizzlies' offense suddenly stalled.

In the past, Iguodala can stand up to take over the attack at this time. But now, Iguodala is watching the game off the court wearing a suit.

Randolph finally had to return the ball to Conley to reorganize, and the Heat's defense was successful!

"The Heat's strategy is very clear, and Link shrinks immediately. Now without Iguodala, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower on the perimeter has been greatly reduced, and they can focus their energy on Link."

Afterwards, Link caught the ball in the middle distance and was ready to post up against James.

However, the moment Link turned over and shot, Wade rushed over immediately, and the two interfered with Link's shot.

For Link, double-teaming is not an open space. In the end, the basketball struck iron, and the brewing emotions of the Grizzlies fans were suppressed like this!

"I didn't make it, the Grizzlies had a very bad first offense today! It seems that the Miami Heat are fully prepared!"

Off the field, Iguodala is in a hurry. If he was there, Wade probably wouldn't dare to defend Link just like that.

Bosh received the rebound and changed the Heat offense!

Tony Allen is determined to look good on James on the defensive end. It is difficult for him to contribute on the offensive end, so he hopes to get it all back on the defensive end.

However, James didn't hold the ball at all in the first round. Wade threw off Link with a counter-run, and after receiving a pass from Chalmers, he actually shot a jumper directly from the three-point line!

Link was a little caught off guard, because Wade has hit only 25% of his three-pointers per game in the playoffs so far, which is an unqualified hit rate! Therefore, Link's strategy of defending Wade is also very simple.

As a result, Wade was stunned to start shooting directly.

For a superstar like Wade, if you give him a chance, he really dares to enter. Just like Jordan in 1992, the three-point shooting rate in the playoffs was only about 20%. So before the finals, the local TV station in Portland said, "We just need to make Jordan stand on the outside and shoot threes to win the game."

As a result, Jordan made 6 three-pointers in the first half of Game 1 of the Finals, and the record of 6 three-pointers in the final half was not broken until 2010 by Ray Allen.

So don't underestimate any superstar. Don't underestimate their numbers even if they didn't look good before. If they don't agree, they are about to break the record.

Wade did the same this time. Link gave him a chance, and he made the shot decisively. In the end, the basketball also hollowed into the net, and the Heat started 3-0!

After Wade scored, James ran up and gave his good brother a high five. Every time Wade gets rid of the water in his knee, his condition improves a lot. So today, Wade will definitely not be at that level of 15 per game.

But don't underestimate the knees, the health of the lower body is not only important for breakthroughs, but also for shooting.

Wade's heart is stronger than anyone else. Today, he will not allow himself to sit on the sidelines. He will overcome this difficult opponent with James!

After the high five, Sao Wei turned his head and smiled at Link, "Welcome to the finals, kid!"

Link pouted, well, this time he hit the muzzle of the new generation of forced kings.
