801: Miami people aren't very friendly

As the Grizzlies' bus drove down the streets of Miami, local fans on both sides of the road held up not-so-friendly signs.

"The Heat will win, and the Grizzlies will die."

"Salute to the runner-up with 74 wins."

"This is going to be your hell."

"Destroy it in Miami!"

Looking at the plaques on both sides of the road and the fans who were so angry, Link was really worried that they would work together to overturn the team bus.

When the Grizzlies came to Miami last year, they didn't encounter such a big resistance. After all, the Grizzlies came to Miami as a challenger last season. At that time, the Miami team was still dismissive of the Grizzlies.

But now, the Miami Heat is a challenger in its own right. Moreover, Link also said that he would play the Heat 4-0, which undoubtedly greatly increased the resistance of Heat fans to the Grizzlies.

The last time there was such a fierce hostility in the NBA Finals was probably back in the year when the Lakers and Celtics fought each other.

"Looks like they're all eager to eat us alive." Next to Link, Randolph was filming the scene outside with his phone.

To be honest, the "Big Black Bears" didn't expect them to have such a warm "welcome ceremony" in Miami at first.

"Where are we going? Trust me, you'll know what a 'warm welcome' is when we show up in the American Airlines Center arena tomorrow night."

Link is not surprised by this, and Miami is not the only city that is hostile to the Grizzlies.

If this year's finals were played in Indianapolis, it wouldn't have been any better.

After all, the Grizzlies have an unprecedented 1-49 approval rating......

With the help of local police in Miami, the Grizzlies' team bus was able to arrive safely at the hotel.

However, outside the hotel, it has been surrounded by reporters.

As soon as Link and the others got off the bus, they were surrounded by a bunch of cameras and microphones.

"Link, do you really think you can win two in a row on the South Coast!?"

"The Heat haven't lost at home so far in the playoffs this season! Are you sure you can win here, and still win two games in a row? ”

"If you didn't do what you said you said, how would you explain it?"

Link became the most popular player among journalists, or rather, the most hated by journalists.

Half of the reporters at the scene came to Link.

Link didn't answer any questions, but walked briskly through the hotel door with the assistance of security personnel. He knew that what he said now was futile, and no matter what he said, it would not stop the local media in Miami from disgusting and invecting him.

In that case, it is still not mixed with them.

"Damn, that's annoying, they won't be here all day!" Iguodala, who had squeezed into the lobby of the hotel after a lot of effort, couldn't help but complain.

Iguodala has always been a low-key person, and he doesn't want that kind of scene.

"We're just a piece of cake that has fallen to the ground, besieged by a swarm of ants." Link smiled and patted Iguodala on the shoulder, as the protagonist of this whole incident, Link didn't seem bored.

"Surrounded by them every day, aren't you bad at all?" Iguodala really admires Link's mental quality, and it's no wonder that he was able to hit a three-pointer on James' head in the last crucial game.

This guy seems to be able to face anything calmly.

"What's so bothering? At most, give them another day. After tomorrow night's game, the world will be quiet, Andre. After Link, he leisurely boarded the elevator.

Before the elevator door closed, he didn't forget to bow gentlemanly to the reporters outside the door.

", that's so cheap!" The local reporters outside the door gritted their teeth, but there was no way, they couldn't rush in and beat Link.

They can't solve Link's task, and they can only hope for the Miami Heat.

All Miamians are looking forward to a vigorous revenge at the American Airlines Center in 24 hours.

Link, on the other hand, has begun to look forward to a quiet world after the reporters have shut up.

At half past six the next night, an hour and a half before Game 3 of the 13-14 NBA Finals, all members of the Memphis Grizzlies officially entered the American Airlines Center arena.

Today, on the outer wall of the arena, there is a huge poster that reads "Stand with Miami".

This kind of extremely serious poster is not usually found in sporting events. Link dares to assure that people have never been more united in Miami, where the demographics are extremely complex.

Just as Link expected, as soon as the Grizzlies players stepped onto the court, they were overwhelmed with boos.

The only thing that could be heard by the fans watching the game in front of the TV was booing, and in addition to the boos, the players in the stadium could hear the invective very clearly.

Every time Link's gaze swept over a stand, the fans in that stand would give Link the middle finger.

Even Mike, who played for the Miami Heat last season. Miller, none of them were spared.

It's fair to say that the local fans are quite unfriendly to the Grizzlies. If you don't know, you may think that this year's finals are Lakers VS Celtics.

In the entire NBA league, there is no two teams whose fans hate each other as much as the Lakers and Celtics.

But today, the Grizzlies and Heat broke this pattern, and these two teams, who have met twice in the Finals, are stunned to play the feeling of old enemies.

The Miamins are imposing, and all they want to see right now is the look of fear on the faces of the Grizzlies players. They just want the Grizzlies players to know that Miami isn't something to mess with, and that the American Airlines Center isn't a place you can take if you want to.

Link also knew this, so in the face of those abuses, in the face of those straight middle fingers, Link didn't let them get their wish.

Link smiled slightly, then raised his right hand and waved it slightly. He just waved at the fans and faced it all calmly!

", it's so damnful!"

"People don't have to be invincible in the world!"

"I don't know if Link is the best player in history, but he is definitely the cheapest player in history!"

Miami fans gritted their teeth one by one, and Link's calmness was the biggest humiliation for their ferocity.

When you try your best to intimidate the other person, but you find that they are not afraid of you at all, the frustration is very strong.

And Link undoubtedly gave Miami fans that frustration.

Link's actions made the boos in the American Airlines Center arena even louder, and Mike, who was on hand to explain the game. Brin shook his head, "I started commentating NBA games in 1991, and I witnessed the glory and loneliness of Ewing. The sensation and ecstasy of Thomas's time, and Michael's unrivalled two triple wins. But I can guarantee that no team has ever been booed so badly in the Finals! ”

"Under normal circumstances, the home fans would go out of their way to cheer for their team. But what do we see? All we saw was the Miami fans booing out their spare time. It's as if the Miami Heat are transparent, and the fans are only speaking for the visitors. To some extent, the Grizzlies are also anti-guest-oriented. ”

After Brin finished speaking, his eyes fell on Link, the first player in NBA history to score two consecutive triple-doubles in the Finals.

He wondered, in the face of this situation, how would Link end?

The warm-up ended with an endless stream of boos, with both sides making final preparations just ten minutes before the start of the game.

Today, the Grizzlies decided to take the initiative and try to gain an early advantage.

Don't look at the Miami fans have a strong temperament, but the Heat actually don't have much to resist.

As long as they can open up the gap as soon as possible, the Heat will completely lose the ability to resist. And as long as you win this third game, 4-0 is a sure thing!

Therefore, Dave. Jogle decided today to use Tobias. Harris started in place of Randolph. The Grizzlies have a very aggressive lineup of one big and four small!

From the very beginning of his attempt, he covered the American Airlines Center with the heaviest firepower.

"Attack, go on offense! I'm willing to bet the league has moved the O'Brien Cup to Miami by now. They have trophies ready, so there's no reason for us to procrastinate! Listen to these voices, it's time for them to stop for a while. ”

After Joggle finished speaking, he waved his big hand, and the Grizzlies starting five tigers stepped onto the court.

Spoelstra originally made a lot of adjustments for this game, but after seeing the Grizzlies actually change the lineup, the Heat's Filipino coach was half cold.

The finale may come sooner than expected.
