Seven Hundred and Eighty-Nine: Continuous Takeoff

Before the game, most fans around the world were waiting to see Link's jokes.

Everyone believed that in the face of LeBron James, Link, who did not prepare seriously, would definitely be beaten to pieces.

At this time, apart from fans in China and Tennessee, it is estimated that only Kobe, who was recuperating at home early, was full of expectations for Link.

Because he knew Link, he knew that it was impossible for Link to be lazy in training. So yesterday, Kobe called Seto and asked about Link's situation.

Sure enough, as Kobe imagined, Link didn't seem to work so hard because he was protected.

In this case, Link's physical condition should be quite good today.

His performance can't be bad!

The referee stepped into the middle circle and signaled the players on both sides to get ready. Link looked at the Heat's starting lineup, and it has changed compared to the past.

This time, the Heat's starting five tigers are Chalmers, Wade, James, Lewis and Bosh.

The main change is in Lewis. He did not get many starting opportunities in the regular season, but since the Eastern Conference finals, he has occupied the starting No. 4 position.

Lewis played the 4 position, the purpose is still very clear.

First of all, it is natural to open up the space. Although Lewis is no longer as brave as he was in the past, his 373 three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs is also above the standard. Occasionally, Lewis can also stage a good show with 18 points in a single game.

Secondly, let Lewis top the No. 4 position, which undoubtedly greatly reduces James' consumption.

Although Lewis has spent most of his career at the 3rd position, his height of 2.08 meters does not suffer at all to play the 4th position. And, Lewis is now heavier than the Magic and Wizards.

Therefore, it can still resist how much in the interior.

In the end, letting James return to the No. 3 position undoubtedly created a chance for James to fight against Link with all his strength. Last season, Spoelstra's approach of sending Ray Allen to guard Link has proven to be a complete failure.

This year, he can't take that risk anymore.

At least in the Eastern Conference finals, Lewis has achieved miraculous results. Therefore, Spoelstra extended this change to the finals.

On the Grizzlies side, Joger is estimated to have been complained by thousands of fans again, "Even if the end of the world comes, Joger will not change the starting lineup."

Conley, Link, Andre Iguodala and the Black and White Bears, after continuing the first and fourth quarters of the Western Conference finals, the Grizzlies replaced the traditional starter in the finals.

Jogel hopes that the Grizzlies can drag the Heat into a positional battle as much as possible and drag them into a slow-paced offense and defense. Because of the shortcomings of James and Wade's weak projection ability, they will be magnified in positional warfare.

Therefore, the lineup of one big and four small did not continue.

Looking at the starting lineup alone, both sides have actually made a lot of preparations. But no matter how it changes, the key to this round of finals will not change.

Link and James,

This is the real key to victory for both teams. Who can open the door to victory first, which team can embrace the championship.

The referee blew the whistle and kicked off!

Marc Gasol won the first attack ball with his height advantage, and the NBA finals of the 2013-14 season officially started!

Link was excited, he quickly ran past half court and was ready to catch the ball. He felt that his whole body was full of power, and he was just about an opportunity to vent.

James tried hard to keep up with Link and not let him catch the ball easily. Today, James came up with no reservations. He doesn't seem to be thinking about physical fitness at all, he's just playing with Link!

James is definitely the top perimeter defensive gate in the league. Although he has never won the honor of the best defensive player, his defensive ability is actually quite top.

His top-level physical quality has already determined that his lower limit on the defensive end will not be too low. And James' high basketball IQ and calm personality allow him to always make the most correct judgments in defense.

Link was very embarrassed by James, and Conley tried to give the ball to Link several times, but there was no chance.

In the end, Link simply leaned against James in the middle distance. It looks like it's going to be a post-up singles!

James tried his best to hold Link's down, not letting him exert his strength. As for the upper body, James supported Link's waist with one hand and raised the other hand high.

The Heat's No. 6 defense is impeccable!

Link was pointed at James and pointed to the basket at Conley. Conley was a little surprised, but his expression soon calmed down.

Looking at Link's firm eyes, Conley gritted his teeth and threw the ball directly towards the basket!

"What!?" James was a little surprised when he saw that Conley was not passing a lob. The ball flew directly to the basket. Wasn't the ball passed to Link?

Just as James was thinking, Link, who was leaning against him, suddenly turned around with him as his axis!

Link turned his back and wiped James and immediately jumped in place. Although there was no room to sprint, Link's jump height was still very scary!

In the end, Link received a pass from Conley in the air. Then he stretched out his long arms and smashed the ball to the basket under everyone's astonished eyes!

"boom!"

Link's dunk was so powerful that the rebounds were pulled down by a few centimeters.

He landed firmly, with his hands open for balance.

"Cool!" After that, Link yelled out a word that no one at the scene could understand. Of course, the Chinese fans understood.

After holding back for so long, Link finally released the energy in his body.

The stunned fans didn't remember to cheer until Link landed. Mike Breen and Hubby Brown both opened their mouths and pretended to be doing a post up and then suddenly turned around for an all-around dunk?

It's too hard!

"Mike, did you see Link's jump height just now?" Hubby Brown finally spoke, he thought he was dizzy.

"I saw it, I also saw his one-handed dunk stretched in the air. Link's state is completely fine. From the dunk just now, we can see that Link is not only in good shape, but also in physical condition. Excellent!"

Mike Brin recalled the alley-oop dunk just now. It is really difficult for ordinary people to complete such an action.

After turning your back and wiping your opponent, you have to jump right away, and you have to dunk when you receive such a high ball. If the physical condition is not good, it is impossible to play.

So, Mike Brin and Hubby Brown both looked at Bill Simmons sitting in the middle.

Bill Simmons couldn't hold a word for a long time, and he was embarrassed again.

Not to mention Simmons, even James was taken aback by Link's alley-oop dunk just now.

This is the finals! However, Link seemed very relaxed. The kind of ball just now, not everyone has the guts to try it in the finals.

In a defensive playoff game, this lob is prone to errors.

The Clippers like to play this kind of ball, the result? The grass on their graves is three feet tall.

However, Link was stunned to make it easy!

Although James never believed what the outside world said, he always knew that Link could not indulge himself.

But to be honest, James didn't expect Link's physical condition to be so good!

Link hit the Heat's self-confidence with the first goal of the game.

"The ball just now was too dangerous. I believe that the Heat can't give him a second chance to perform like that. The game has just begun, don't get too excited." Simmons finally squeaked after watching the Heat attack.

He now only hopes that the Heat can score goals as soon as possible to extinguish the arrogant momentum of the Grizzlies.

This time, James acted as an organizer, unlike Link who wanted to score points as soon as he came up.

James and Wade cooperated tacitly, allowing Wade, who cut to the basket, to comfortably receive the basketball.

Wade took the ball and was not afraid of Pau Gasol. Even if you can't fight, you can still draw a foul.

Wade in the air with a drop shot over the "European mobile fortress" defense, the basketball flew over Gasol's fingertips, about to fall to the basket.

However, when the basketball was about to fly to the highest point, a big hand suddenly appeared and pressed the basketball to the backboard from behind Gasol.

Wade's eyes widened, it was Link again!

"Beautiful defense, Link finished blocking the shot again! This time it was even more beautiful, he directly put the basketball on the rebound. The poor Dwayne, he must be ready to celebrate the goal. As everyone knows, it is It was a disaster. Link took off for two consecutive rounds, and his physical condition couldn't be better!"

James frowned. He had just watched Link leap from the front of him to the penalty area with his own eyes, and then completed the entire process of blocking the shot.

Link's athletic ability amazes James, who is physically abnormal!

Even James was shocked, let alone fans and Bill Simmons.

In just two rounds, Link turned all the doubts about him in the past few days into a joke.

Lax preparations lead to poor performance? Sorry, I'm on fire today!

Link proved with practical actions that there is no problem with his state. Now, the only one who can stop Link is James.

His performance will determine whether the game will enter garbage time or will be suspenseful.
