Seven Hundred and Ninety-Two: Fight to the Limit but Still Not Enough
LeBron James tore off his headband and threw it aside. People's first reaction was not to feel domineering, but to be startled by the old man's hairline...
Seeing the image of James wearing a headband, he was used to it, and he suddenly took off the headband, which somewhat subverted the inherent impression of James in people's hearts.
James was actually a little flustered. He threw the headband angrily, not so much to frighten his opponent, but to give himself a boost.
He couldn't believe that Link still had physical reserves after going through such a difficult game.
The action of changing hands and dunking in the air requires not only the coordination of a player's hands, but also a strong ability to stay in the air.
The ability to stay in the air requires sufficient physical reserve support.
If you don't even have the strength to jump up, what's the point of being stuck in the air?
So Link's dunks just changed hands, proving that his physical fitness is still very abundant. At least it's still a long way from the limit.
In James' expectation, Link should be weak now. So seeing that Link is still strong, James must have been impacted.
Just before James received the baseline ball, he saw that Link in the other half was ready to defend.
He was like an impenetrable mountain blocking James' path to victory.
"Is Link okay?" Jorge turned his head worriedly and asked Seto, who was sitting behind the bench.
He didn't know if Link was pushing hard, or if he was really at ease. He didn't want Link to be on the injured list because he was too tired.
However, there was a smile on Saito's face, "Don't worry, even if everyone in the audience has a problem, Link will be fine. He has recovered very well a few days ago, so you don't have to worry about it."
Saito is very aware of Link's physical fitness and physical condition. The high temperature of 40°C is simply a piece of cake for him!
James slowly approached Link, and there were still more than 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter. It is almost impossible to widen the difference to double digits. However, James still hopes to extend the advantage to the end of the third quarter.
He must first stabilize the advantage, and how to kill the game, he will find a way later. At the very least, the roots of the game-killing game have to be preserved.
After seeing Link's power just now, James didn't dare to break through rashly. This time, he called for cover, hoping to use external forces to compete with Link.
Bosh's screen quality was high and completely blocked Link. Gasol tried to block, but the lateral movement speed was too slow, and James still let James pass through him.
James returned Link a ball with a driving layup, and the war between the two entered a white-hot stage!
"LeBron didn't dunk, he was saving energy! Could it be that LeBron consumes more than Link now?"
Although James's goal is very beautiful, but Hubby. Brown still saw some clues.
Usually this kind of ball, James will certainly not waste the opportunity to dunk. But just now, he only chose to downplay the layup.
In addition to saving physical strength, Hubie Brown really couldn't think of a second reasonable explanation.
James wants to bring down Link? Old Hubby thought,
James might be the first to fall before Link!
"Don't hide it, LeBron. I know, you can't do it anymore." Link also saw this on the basketball court.
James's physical strength is losing faster than himself. After all, he is a 30-year-old player. No matter how good his physical fitness is, he cannot violate the natural laws of the human body.
James didn't answer, with a "don't want to talk nonsense with you" expression.
But in fact, James's heart panicked!
If Link sees that he has consumed a lot, he will definitely be caught by Link!
James now only hopes that the last two minutes or more will end quickly. If he doesn't take a breath, his physical fitness will really be exhausted.
And when Link passed halftime, what James was most worried about happened.
Before the third quarter, although Link was the Grizzlies' main scorer, he didn't want the ball recklessly. After all, even Link couldn't stand it if he had to rely on one person to attack each round.
Therefore, throughout the third quarter, the Grizzlies are mainly based on team offense. Link will only stand up and execute singles at a critical moment when the team cannot open up the situation.
But now, Link started raising his hand at Conley for the ball just after halftime. His desire to score is much higher than just now.
James hoped that he could defeat Link, who was physically exhausted, with a rude and efficient singles, but he didn't expect Link to think the same!
In an instant, James went from hunter to prey.
Link held the ball and confronted James at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. The two were very close, and Link could even feel the heat from James.
Both Link and James were sweating profusely, but Link's expression was obviously much more relaxed than James's.
James' nerves were tense, and he knew now that Link wasn't bluffing. That boy, there is still plenty of power!
Link made a couple of three-threat moves, but James was unmoved. He keeps his distance very well, and whether Link wants to shoot or make a breakthrough, he can respond immediately.
Seeing this situation, Link chose to take a sudden step back!
James's position is really superb, he can radiate to Link's spot shot, and he can also take care of Link's sudden forward thrust.
But the step-back jumper can get out of James' defensive range.
James didn't expect Link to choose to retreat in this situation, so he took two big steps to force it up.
But just when James' center of gravity was all rushing forward, Link retracted his shooter and passed by James!
After James realized that he was deceived by Link's Baifu fake, it was too late!
"Link deceived LeBron, a beautiful Bever fake. He went straight into the penalty area, and Chris Bosh rushed back to block. But it was still a step behind, and Link made a dunk! Good shot, 26th point today. , this dunk is the most positive response to LeBron!"
Just now James made a layup after breaking through, but now Link has unreservedly ended the attack with a dunk. There is no doubt that this is a blatant provocation!
Bosh watched as Link hung on the rim, but there was nothing he could do. He is also tired, and his return to defense is not as fast as before.
And what about Link? His speed was not much different from the first half.
Off the court, Dave Jogel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Link could still complete the dunk.
"Now you are sure that Link's physical fitness is fine, right? Don't worry, I have long considered this situation." Saito waved his hand, and no one in the entire NBA is better than him when it comes to keeping players healthy. Do it better.
In the next 2 minutes, James was completely suppressed by Link. On the offensive end, James' individual singles did not work. On the defensive end, James let Link score his 30th point before halftime!
In the last 2.8 seconds of the third quarter, James even felt fear when he saw Link rushing with the ball!
Fortunately, the sudden electronic buzzer sound relieved James' pressure. The third quarter was over, and so was James' nightmare.
The sound of the electronic buzzer saved James' life.
After the third quarter, the difference became 3 points.
But the lead is no longer the Heat, but the Grizzlies. With this last-minute performance of scoring 6 points in a row, Link reversed the status of the two sides in one fell swoop.
When James walked off the court, he was already gasping for breath. And what about Link? He raised his arms high and enjoyed the worship of the fans.
"How long has Link played today!?" The first thing James did after leaving the court was to ask Spoelstra.
"There was only a one-minute break in the third quarter!" The Filipino coach replied solemnly.
The surprised expression on James' face is hard to hide. Under the high temperature of 40°C, he only rested for 1 minute in the third quarter, and he could still play such a performance.
What kind of monster is he! ?
It was not the first time that James was shocked by Link, but as the two sides became familiar with each other, James believed that he knew Link very well, and Link would not do anything beyond his imagination.
But now, James finds himself terribly wrong.
Does he really know Link? James shook his head, he thought that no one in this world really knew Link.
How much power does that guy have, no one has the answer!
Whenever you think you know Link very well, he can do something that subverts your imagination.
James has been subverted countless times. Unexpectedly, until now, until they meet in the finals for the second consecutive year, Link can still prepare surprises for him.
"Don't let him lead by the nose, LeBron. In the fourth quarter, his fitness will definitely go wrong. At that time, it's our chance! Now we just need to hold on to the Grizzlies, we must bite to the end!"
Spoelstra seemed to see through James' doubts, so he hurriedly made plans.
He didn't believe that Link could continuously output violence for 48 minutes!
Link, on the other hand, gets a muscle-relaxing massage from Judy during the break.
Judy said Link's muscle tension is still manageable, and the rest of his previous days allowed him to burst out with greater strength today.
When Link and Jorge heard the news, they seemed to be reassured.
Next, they can do their best with peace of mind!
In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies' strategy is very simple, replace offense with defense, continue to slow down the pace, and continue to force Wade and James to play positional warfare!
On the offensive end, go all out to hit the basket. Create damage, let the Heat struggle!
After the fourth quarter, Link was not seen on the court. Jogel decided to let Link rest first and then play at the last minute.
This is a very routine substitution strategy, but in the eyes of the Heat, it seems like a life-saving straw.
In the few minutes that Link rested, the Heat hope to pull the score away as soon as possible!
However, the Miami natives have yet to put together a decent offense, and Link returned to the court in the second minute of the fourth quarter.
Link didn't rest too long, and he didn't need to rest too long.
Two minutes is enough!
Both Spoelstra and James felt the pressure on their bodies increase, as if even the surrounding air became hotter.
When Link comes back at this time, there is only one possibility - he will play the next 10 minutes of the game!
Link just walked from the bench to the court without doing anything, and already gave Huo Huo huge psychological pressure.
For the first time, James was distressed by the presence of a player.
The fourth quarter of the game, in general, was about the same pace as the third quarter.
The Heat helped James open up space from beyond the three-point line, and James was waiting for an opportunity to play singles. Of course, in the fourth quarter, James, whose physical strength further declined, became less efficient in attack.
On the other hand, Link is still leading the Grizzlies forward steadily in this difficult time.
Teammates are not shooting well? Then create better opportunities! Teammates are prone to mistakes because they are too tired? Then take the responsibility of organizing the attack.
On the court, James and Link fought back and forth, not letting each other go.
By the second half of the fourth quarter, the matchup had become almost tragic.
Every time James fell to the ground, it took a long time to get back up.
And every time Link confronts James, it is also a torment for him.
Link's stamina is indeed not exhausted, but not exhausted does not mean not tired.
This is definitely the toughest game Link has played since the start of the playoffs.
The point difference has been hovering between 2 and 6 points, the Grizzlies can't continue to expand the point difference, and the Heat have no ability to close the point difference.
With 2 minutes and 48 seconds left in the game, Link assisted Nick Young after hitting a three-pointer and scored a triple-double of 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists!
In the first game of the finals, Link hit a triple-double!
At the same time, this goal also gave the Grizzlies a key lead of 4 points!
The 4-point advantage does not seem to be large, but if it is in the interval of more than 2 minutes in the last, it has to be said otherwise.
"Great Link! He hit a triple-double in the first game of the finals! In the finals last season, Link averaged 32.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. So this year, his data is even more exaggerated. Some, I wouldn't be surprised!" Hubie Brown followed the shouts of the Grizzlies fans, and his emotions were also high.
Beside Brown, Bill Simmons didn't say a word, he just gritted his teeth, hoping that the Heat could complete the comeback!
In terms of data, James has only scored 28 points and 6 rebounds today, which is incomparable to Link. So, the only thing Simmons can hope for right now is a Heat win.
James listened to the cheers around him and looked at the data on the big screen at the scene, only to realize that Link had already hit a triple-double.
Today, his stats are far from Link's.
The breathless James clenched his fists. He knew that only by winning the game today could he save face!
So in this attack, James played very tough. He no longer has so many scruples, no physical fitness, no body, no victory is important at this moment.
James leaned on Link to force a layup, and he hoped to solve the game in this simple and rude way in the end.
But just as James took off, he felt a twitch in his calf.
Losing his center of gravity, he fell to the ground before he finished the layup, and then covered his head in pain with his calf.
Everyone in the audience took a deep breath. They had never seen what it was like to be injured by James, the "humanoid tank".
Link shook his head secretly. If he understood correctly, James didn't have a problem, it should just be a cramp.
His body has reached the limit, however, he still failed to win the game!
In the end, James was directly carried out by his teammates. He struggled to the point of cramping, and had no strength to get up again.
Seeing this scene, Bill Simmons covered his head in annoyance. He knew that the Heat and James had completely lost.
Do your best, but still can't change the attack. In the confrontation with Link, James was embarrassedly defeated!
Although the difference between the two sides is still very anxious, after James fell, the game has basically lost its suspense.
Link wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that the surrounding area didn't seem so hot.
Yeah, they put out the "Heat" completely!
