Four hundred and ninety-eight: the twent
Before returning from the timeout, James’ key three-pointer gave Spoelstra a hope. This is not the first time the Filipino coach, thinking that the Heat still have a chance to win.
But he absolutely could not have thought that Link used a four-pointer so quickly to return the color. Now, Spoelstra really experienced the feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom in an instant.
On the court, Link tore the jerseys at the Rockets fans with a look of horror in their eyes. He is arrogant and hates Heat fans. But the most disgusting thing is that Link really deserves to be so rampant.
In the last 34 seconds of the game, if Link makes an additional penalty, the Grizzlies will have a 9-point lead!
From 5 points to 9 points, this is 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 an excited celebration, Link returned to the free throw line and stood up. At this time, the fans in Miami were so scared that they forgot to boo.
After receiving the basketball, Link adjusted his breathing, then looked 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 when he just made a shot in interference. The basketball was still hollow into the net without any accidents. Link succeeded in playing four points, and the Grizzlies officially expanded the point difference to 4 points!
As soon as Link finished the free throw, Spoelstra called a timeout. But everyone knows that this timeout is more likely to be just a dying struggle for the Heat.
“Too strong, 42 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals! Another 40-point triple-double! Link has no reservations when facing LeBron today. He puts his best state Take it out! He let everyone know that even LeBron James may not be able to stop the full-fire Link! The game is not over, but the Heat may not have a chance!”
The entire American Airlines Center has become lifeless. Their 12-game winning streak and James’ continuous magical performances are likely to be destroyed today!
The Heat fans seemed to wake up from a beautiful dream, but the scene before them was extremely cruel.
The Miami Heat are not invincible, and LeBron James is not invincible. They are the defending champions, but that was the honor of last season, that does not belong to now!
“LeBron, Dwyane, Chris, everyone, cheer up, everything is not over!” Spoelstra also tried to gather the team, but from the expressions of James and others, the effect Minimal.
Where does James want to listen to Spoelstra’s chicken soup, he is now full of Link’s trash talk.
“It’s a pity that you almost succeeded today. But in the end, you can neither score 30 points nor win the game.”
“Didn’t you say that you can get 100 points if you want? Let me know, I won’t guard you too much.”
“Believe it or not, your score today can’t even exceed 30?”
If it’s just rubbish, it will not upset James. Why is Bird’s rubbish? Because he said you are here to take second place, you really can only be second. Why are people afraid of Jordan’s trash talk? Because of his strength, he can always accomplish his goals.
If you just speak harsh words, people at best think you are just a clown. But if you can turn it into reality with practical actions, others will be afraid of you.
Today, Link has undoubtedly turned all his **** 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 to be overthrown by others’ trash!
The thought of Link turning all his trash talk into reality makes James particularly powerless. Facing such a guy, is there really a chance of winning?
James was still immersed in his own frustration, and the game started again. He went on the court in a muddle manner, 34 seconds and 9 minutes, everyone knew how difficult it was. Tracy McGrady scored 13 points in 35 seconds for his shocking 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, time and scoring are terrible. The Heat need not only to score quickly, but also to score efficiently! Let’s see what the defending champion will do!”
As soon as the commentator’s voice fell, the Heat kicked the ball out. James shot the ball, the Heat is running out of time.
However, this hasty three-pointer is not James’s expertise. Coupled with Iguodala’s close interference, James’ shots are crooked and floating.
“Boom!” The basketball knocked to the front of the rim, and James, who had almost collapsed mentally, missed it!
But the ball was a long rebound. Wade had good luck and happened to be on the basketball’s landing point, and scored an offensive rebound before Link. Subsequently, the “Flash” assigned the ball to Ray Allen. The Heat’s most efficient three-point shooter, in control of the Heat’s destiny!
However, at this time, Ray Allen is no longer the young man who made three-pointers when he was young. As a nearly 40-year-old veteran, Ray Allen’s shooting stability is not as good as before.
Under Conley’s active interference, Ray Allen did not make a three-pointer! This time, Randolph protected the rebound and did not give the Heat a chance! Two consecutive opportunities were not grasped, the Heat’s failure is a foregone conclusion!
“Foul, foul!” Spoelstra was still shouting from the sidelines, hoping to use foul tactics to buy time.
But everyone knows that this is just a useless struggle.
After Conley was fouled, Link gathered everyone to say a few words. This is not the first time Link has assembled his teammates on the court this season. Everyone in the Grizzlies is also used to being led by Link.
Stevens and Pella vigorously corrected Link, which is undoubtedly the right decision for now.
Gay may indeed be the Grizzlies’ player with the strongest comprehensive ability before, but this kind of leadership is completely absent from Gay.
Subsequently, Conley stood on the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws steadily, without being overwhelmed by pressure, the point difference became 11 points! It seems that Link’s speech is also useful. At this time, the light of American Airlines Center was completely obscured.
The last few tens of seconds is extremely long for Heat fans. Because for them, this is not just a regular season loss, but to say goodbye to their most glorious moment of the season!
12-game winning streak, James’ record-breaking performance…These are all waved goodbye to them.
Of course, only Link knew. The victory in this game also allowed him to change the history of the NBA!
The miracle of the Heat’s Big Three’s 27-game winning streak will no longer exist!
“Beep ” The electronic buzzer sounded like a death knell, officially announcing the death of the Miami Heat!
LeBron James looked at the disappointed fans and lowered his head wearing a crown.
With 25 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, James’s data did not rise any more. Quasi-triple doubles, at first glance, James’ performance does not seem bad.
But his less than 30% shooting rate and pre-match remarks made James’ data particularly eye-catching.
Link did what he said and did not allow James to score 30. And James’ remarks about 100 points in a single game before the game made him fall into dire straits.
As the saying goes, digging pits and jumping by yourself.
In contrast, Link’s 40-point triple-double undoubtedly overwhelmed James. As a player who directly faces James, he can score 40 points and triple-doubles at the American Airlines Center, which is legendary enough.
After the game, a reporter found James who was down and out 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 it is not over yet. We will continue to work hard to avoid making mistakes like today in the playoffs. ”
James began to comfort himself. He thought to himself that since the Grizzlies won’t make it to the final, he doesn’t need to be so nervous.
When Link was facing the camera, his words were much simpler.
“Let’s see you in the finals, the champion should change hands.”
This is the first time that the Grizzlies and Link have expressed their desire for a championship in front of the public.
But under the premise of a 40-point triple-double, no one thinks that Link is just talking about it.
Looking at Link, who was confident on the court, Stevens smiled with relief. He and Pella’s goals have been basically achieved.
From 1995 to 2013, it took nearly 20 years.
The first golden age of the Memphis Grizzlies has finally arrived!
