Five Hundred and Eighty-Seven: Do Not Enter the Bear Cave
Wade didn't expect that he just sent a tweet, and that kid Link would go to ask for his phone number just to respond to him.
Of course, Link can also choose to leave a message on Twitter, but sending the text message directly to someone's mobile phone is more provocative.
Wade was a bit dumbfounded, he admired Link's character, fearless of strong enemies, and very bloody. But unfortunately, Link is now on the opposite side of Wade.
Without this series, Wade thought, they would have been good friends.
But now, they can only be enemies. So Wade also texted Link back, "You'll pay for what you say, kid."
People who yearn for championships are assholes.
※※※
There is only one day between the second and third games of the series. Therefore, fans and players did not wait too long. On June 12, the finals started at the American Airlines Center.
Like the fans in Memphis, the local fans in Miami are equally enthusiastic. Compared with Memphis, Miami also has a relatively large ball market. Therefore, the scene is more lively.
Almost all the visible high-rise buildings were occupied by the advertisements of the finals. The streets near the American Airlines Center were also closed to traffic because of the crowds.
The Grizzlies team bus was driving on the street, and on both sides, countless Heat fans were holding very hostile signs.
"In Miami, you can't win a game."
"No one can stop the Heat from being brilliant, and neither can you."
"The best bear hunters in the United States are here, and there is no escape for you!"
Link shook his head. The thought of playing 3 games in a row in such an environment gave him a headache.
I really don't know which genius came up with the 2-3-2 system. The team with a better record not only won't have an advantage, but even suffered some losses.
Fortunately, if this point of history does not change, this year will be the last NBA season to implement the 2-3-2 Finals format.
Going forward, this fucking schedule will no longer exist.
Link is also unlucky, and he ran into all of the shortened seasons and the 2-3-2 format.
After arriving at the American Airlines Center, the first thing Link saw was the rows of honorary pennants, five retired jerseys, and the two most conspicuous championship pennants.
One of them was only obtained last season.
When I compare the bare dome of FedEx Arena, I feel really sad.
There is no honor pennant, not even a retired jersey. This shows how pale the Grizzlies' history is so far.
When the Grizzlies players came out to warm up, everyone on the Heat team naturally started to warm up.
Although the Heat won the last game hearty, but they did not let up. James and everyone else know that the Grizzlies aren't the green Thunder they were last season. Take it lightly and you will be punished.
Wade also saw the Grizzlies players warming up, and finally, his eyes fell on Link.
Then, Wade slowly walked towards the middle circle, and waved at Link, indicating that he would also come over.
Naturally, Link couldn't back down. He couldn't scold him badly on the phone. He would be cowardly when he met him. He wasn't a keyboard warrior.
As a result, the fans and reporters on the scene found that Link and Wade began to confront each other before the game started!
The two stood in the middle circle, separated only by a midfield line. Wade wasn't angry, with a smile on his face. Link is much more serious, after all, he was the one who just lost the game.
"It's kind, boy, you're the first person who dares to say that this is not my territory." Wade pointed to his feet, the place he sacrificed his body for.
"I won here in the regular season, so anyone can turn this into their own territory." Link tilted his head, not giving Wade a chance to pretend.
"Okay, very good. Did you receive the text I sent you yesterday? Don't forget, even if you forget, I will not forget. Today, you will die horribly here,
I do what I say. At that time, don't say that I bullied the virgin in the finals. "
Wade is also serious, although he doesn't hate Link in his heart, he also understands everyone's provocative behavior during the finals. But that doesn't mean that Wade won't bother with Link.
"Worry about yourself, Dwayne. Jordan who's five centimeters shorter isn't the real Jordan."
After speaking, Link turned to leave. Wade is so angry, he usually pretends to be coercive to others, but he didn't expect to be scolded by the other party at the American Airlines Center.
Wade originally just wanted to "play" with Link, but he didn't expect Link's trash talk to actually make Wade angry.
Wade is gearing up now, it seems that the lesson of the game the day before yesterday is not hard enough!
"Before the game started, Link and Wade spat out trash talk. Hey, Wade never seems to suffer from trash talk, right?" On the commentary stage, Mike Brin and Kevin Harlan also Talk about what just happened.
"Disadvantage? If it was another third-year kid, Wade may have already cried. However, Link is also very good at trash talk. In the last round of the series, he sprayed KD dumbfounded. Speechless, hahahaha."
The two superstars who won the first and second MVP votes met on a narrow road. Looking back, this grand scene was Michael Jordan vs Karl Malone in 1997. However, this year, in addition to Link vs. James, the duel between Link and Wade also made everyone look forward to it.
So no matter what the result of this year's finals is, it will definitely be a finals that will go down in history.
Before the game started, Link and Wade had already brought the atmosphere forward.
So much so that the fans at the American Airlines Center booed the Grizzlies players violently during the starter introduction ceremony.
Usually, when the away players are introduced, the fans at most don't speak up, leaving the introduction ceremony in the dark.
But today, the Grizzlies are definitely the worst booed team ever at the American Airlines Center.
However, when the five starters of the Grizzlies came on stage one by one, the expressions of the Heat players gradually changed from smug to surprised.
Starting center, Marc Gasol, that's fine.
Starting forward, Andre Iguodala, that's fine. Everyone knows the news of Iguodala's third comeback.
Another starting forward, Link. At this point, everyone was a little surprised.
There is no problem with Link starting, but Link and Iguodala have filled the forward line. Who will play the guard? Randolph?
The Heat players quickly got the answer. With the deadly shouts of the live DJ, Jimmy Butler, who had performed well in the first two games, stood up and played the second position.
In the end, the Grizzlies' starting point guard is the unstoppable Conley.
It seems that the Grizzlies' starter is to replace Randolph with Iguodala. But this switch has a huge impact on the Grizzlies lineup.
The Memphis Grizzlies, like the Heat the day before yesterday, sent a small lineup!
"The Grizzlies have also made a small lineup! Except for Marc Gasol, there is no second pure inside player to play!" Mike Brin's eyes widened. The Grizzlies, who have always been known for their inside line advantage, actually changed the lineup. small?
No one knows whether the Grizzlies are able to turn the tide or are led by the Heat. After all, the Heat's weakest point is their paint. Therefore, perhaps forcing the Grizzlies to change to a smaller lineup is part of the Heat plan.
Wade said why Link is so confident. It turned out to be because the team changed its strategy.
But Wade doesn't feel nervous. It's still unknown whether the Grizzlies' small lineup will work or not!
When it was time for the Heat's player introduction ceremony, the voices in the American Airlines Center instantly boiled over.
The Heat's starting five tigers are the same as the last game. They won the last game, so naturally they will not take the initiative to change.
James thought his opponent was Iguodala. However, when Bosh won basketball for the Heat, James just passed halftime, but found that Link was guarding him!
Well, now we have to face the most violent defense.
"The Grizzlies also put up a small lineup, it's incredible. It's so bold to change the lineup in the finals!"
The commentators were not very optimistic about the effect of the Grizzlies' small lineup, because it was very different from the Grizzlies' previous style.
Wade didn't hesitate. At the beginning of the game, of course he wanted to establish his prestige in front of Link and shut up the kid who was only in the third grade.
What's more, the Grizzlies are playing a small lineup now, and their restricted area defense is definitely not as good as before. So, Wade waved after receiving the ball, called Bosh to cover, he was ready to break through!
Bosh came out to cover, which means Gasol had to follow out. When Bosh feels bad, he can't make a shot unless he is guarded. But when he's in good shape, he really doesn't dare to let him shoot.
For example, in the last game, most of Bosh's 20 points came from open shots.
And Gasol pulled out, in the absence of Randolph, the Grizzlies' restricted area was instantly empty!
Wade excitedly accelerated past Iguodala, who had not adjusted to his best state, and went straight to the penalty area!
Small lineup, not everyone can learn! American Airlines Center, not everyone can be wild here!
After Wade broke through, he jumped up and stretched his body in the air, as if to dunk!
Heat fans stood up, they said, Wade has found the state in 2006!
After Wade gliding for a distance in the air, his arm was just about to exert force, but he found a figure coming from the direction of the corner of the light.
Wade subconsciously turned his head to look, it was none other than the No. 0 in the dark blue "villain shirt"!
"This... When did you come here!?" Wade chose to dunk, naturally because he saw that there was no one in the Grizzlies penalty area.
When he broke through just now, Lin Ke was clearly near the bottom corner, why did he come back so quickly!
Without waiting for Wade to think about it, the basketball in his hand was swiped by Link from the side, like a volleyball game, and flew out of the court!
The next second, Wade hit the frame with his palm and made a dunk. But basketball, the last second has been fanned away.
"Volleyball hat! Link actually blocked Wade's dunk! Hahahaha, Wade thought the Grizzlies' penalty area was hollowed out. But it turns out, never break into the bear hole at will! Link's protection of the penalty area is not at all. Not worse than Randolph!"
Mike Brin couldn't help but shouted, who could resist such an explosive scene at the beginning.
When Link landed, he did not celebrate arrogantly, but glanced at Wade and pointed to his feet, "I said, this is everyone's territory."
Then came the overwhelming boos. But those, Link doesn't care anymore.
He believed that Wade must be a hundred times more depressed than the booed himself at this time.
