736: More interesting players, more interesting games

On March 22, the Memphis Grizzlies, who had won 12 in a row, finally stopped at the American Airlines Center.

Spoelstra laughed happily after the game, 86-91, with the visitors in front and the home team behind, and the Heat won a crucial victory without danger.

The step that the Trail Blazers and Pacers didn't take was finally crossed by the Miami Heat.

James finished with 35 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and he demonstrated the correct way to beat Link for the whole league.

Of course, this method of operation is estimated to be impossible for most people to learn. After all, James has a strength that no one else has.

Throughout the game, James continued to press Link. Defensively, Link will never let it be easy to score. On the offensive end, James will also use his invincible body to clear all obstacles.

Wade also played well today, scoring 22 points, which is the second most powerful weapon that the Heat can beat the Grizzlies.

In reality, however, Link didn't do bad today. With 30 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, this is Link's sixth consecutive game with a double-double, and he and James are evenly matched.

The two sides play each other in the final few rounds, and if the outcome of one of the rounds changes, the outcome of the entire match can change. So, the Heat's victory didn't come as vigorously as people thought.

Although they are winners, they are still very embarrassed.

"The Miami Heat let the whole league breathe a sigh of relief, and the Memphis Grizzlies were finally stopped! However, considering that the Grizzlies were still playing the Pacers in Indianapolis 24 hours ago, it is quite a remarkable achievement to be able to push the Heat into a desperate situation today! ”

On the commentary stage, the local commentators in Miami were not too happy, but had a feeling of escaping death.

It was so thrilling to win today's game that he didn't even know who would win a minute before the end of the game.

A Grizzly bear playing back-to-back away games can burst out with such terrifying power, which makes everyone's hearts tremble.

After the game, James was also not too excited. It stands to reason that he defeated last season's Finals opponent today, and it also made it much less likely that the Grizzlies would break their 72-win record. For him, it should be a big win.

But James knows that the win was not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface. Facing a tired Grizzlies is playing so hard, so if they face a physical Grizzlies, can the Heat still win?

With the Grizzlies exhausted and the Heat still winning so hard, James really couldn't be excited.

Not only James, but also those fans who watch Grizzlies games all day long just to watch the Grizzlies lose, also find it difficult for them to be satisfied with this loss.

Because even if the Grizzlies lose this game, they have already won 63 games, and they still have a good chance to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins.

The Grizzlies' defeat came too late.

"We'll see each other again at the end of the season, damn it, I wish we hadn't seen each other so often." After the game, Wade, as the winning side, shook his head vigorously in front of Link.

The thought of having to play the Grizzlies again in the regular season gave Wade a headache.

The main thing is that the next time the two sides meet, it will be near the end of the regular season. Wade didn't do a specific calculation, but roughly looking at it, it was estimated that it was also a key moment for the Grizzlies to hit the 72-win record!

If the Heat just hit the Grizzlies' 72 or 73 wins...... Then the Heat are really unlucky.

"It's okay, you should already have a rest by then, and maybe you won't need to play." Link, as today's loser, began to comfort Wade.

"No, fight with you, we definitely won't take a break. Don't forget, our goal this season is still the championship. The next time we meet, it's our final rehearsal before the finals. I can guarantee that we will play quite seriously. Wade got serious, even though he now had a good personal relationship with Link. But in front of the championship, no matter how ironclad the relationship is, it has to be put aside first.

"Finals rehearsal? Hahaha, you really look up to me. I'd better try to get into the finals first, the competition in the west is very fierce this year. Link waved his hand, easing the seriousness of the atmosphere.

Wade naturally didn't take it seriously, he knew Link's character too well.

On the surface, he is giggling, but secretly his hands are black!

It is true that the competition in the west is much greater than in the east. Not to mention anything else, the Spurs and Thunder are enough for the Grizzlies to drink a pot.

But Wade has faith in Link, and he believes that there is no team in the West that is Link's opponent!

The two exchanged a few words and waved goodbye, and the Heat walked away with a painless victory, while the Grizzlies were ready to regroup and continue to work towards a 72-win break.

At this time, in addition to the "big drama" of the Grizzlies breaking the 72-win record in the basketball world, the NCAA's March Madness was also going on at its most exciting moment.

The NCAA is not only a feast for fans, but also for many fans. For example, James appeared in the game of March Madness a few days ago, and Kobe Bryant also said in front of the media that he has watched more NCAA games than Lakers games recently.

This shows how compelling March Madness is. If it weren't for the Grizzlies in the NBA this year, the ratings would have been blown up by the NCAA.

On the afternoon of the second day after returning from Miami, many Grizzlies players were looking forward to tonight's NCAA blockbuster matchup after practice.

"Hey, who do you think is going to win tonight? Is it Kansas or Stanford? Randolph chatted about the NCAA as he changed his clothes.

It's hard to imagine that a player who is moving towards a 72-win record would be more interested in the NCAA.

However, that's the beauty of the NCAA.

"Of course it's Kansas, and they have the top pick Andrew. Wiggins, and Joel. Embiid, the big man destined to finish in the top five in this year's draft. What about Stanford? None of them even made it to the first round. "Tony. Aaron spread his hands, and it seemed that he was looking forward to today's game.

"Don't say that, it's March Madness. The biggest charm of March Madness is the unknown. If Wiggins and Joel. Embiid was cold tonight, and they didn't have a chance to do it all over again. "Mike. Miller also joined the discussion.

Then, almost everyone in the Grizzlies locker room was talking about tonight's Kansas and Stanford games.

The only person who didn't join the discussion was Link!

Link, as a native Chinese, doesn't have such a passion for the NCAA. And as a player who played in NCAA Division II, Link himself had never experienced what it was like to play March Madness. At that time, Fresno University was not eligible to participate at all.

So Link's love for this event is not as strong as others.

A lot of NBA stars have played March Madness themselves, so this event is a plus for them as well.

But Link's feelings for the NCAA are close to zero.

"Otherwise, everyone will come to my house tonight to watch the game, and by the way, we can make a bet together." Seeing that almost everyone in the locker room was interested in tonight's game, Randolph prepared to set up a gamble himself.

"Okay, I'll buy Kansas and win!" Tony. Aaron was the first to respond positively.

"I buy Stanford, and if they upset, I'll make a lot of money." Nick. Yang always likes to go off the rails with his sword.

"Link, what about you? Do you participate? Randolph then turned his attention to Link, who had not been involved in the discussion.

Link looked up and shrugged, "Go ahead, I'm not interested in Kansas or Stanford." I won't go to the game, but I'll buy Stanford to win. Crazy March, it's all about the heartbeat. ”

Although Link was not interested, in order not to spoil everyone's interest, he still blindly bought a bet.

"Hey, you're going to lose this time, Link. I said, you're not interested in such a wonderful game, do you have to watch the European game? Randolph was a little puzzled, Link almost never watched the NCAA, but often watched the Europa League.

The Euroleague is in the United States, and that's really non-mainstream. To be exact, who watches the Euroleague except the Europeans themselves. No, I guess even Europeans don't watch it, because they all watch football!

"Different games have different excitement, hehe." Link waved his hand, for him, tonight's Italian league game was much more exciting than the Kansas and Stanford games.

For Wiggins and Embiid, Lin Ke is already very familiar. So he's more curious about how Jokic played in Italy as a child.

Earlier, team management had asked Link if he was particularly interested in any rookie.

Link's reply was, "If you want to find more interesting players, you have to look outside the NCAA." ”

Link doesn't know how much the management listened, but he believed that his words would still attract the attention of the team......
