595: Three-pointers and free throws

The Grand Final is a stage that every player dreams of, and every year the Grand Final always gets the attention of the world. Every player wants to show themselves in the finals and help the team win.

Of course, at the highest level of play, every second counts, and conceding a goal or making a mistake due to lack of concentration can lead to the loss of the whole game.

Even everyday operations such as free throws are especially important in the finals, and it is also a moment that tests the mental quality of the players. Some teams can win the championship with free throws, such as the Lakers and Vucevic back then. However, some players will lose the game because they have missed an important goal.

This kind of thing has happened more than once in the history of the NBA Finals.

"Warcraft" Dwight. Howard led the team to the finals alone in '09, which can be described as infinitely beautiful. But in Game 4, the crucial Finals, with 11 seconds left to end, Howard missed the game with a free throw.

At that time, the Magic still led the Lakers by 3 points, and the Lakers opted for a slashing tactic and let Howard make free throws to get the ball. As a result, Howard really missed both free throws, and in a good situation, he was stunned by a magical three-pointer from Fisher to drag the game into overtime.

Players who are too immature will not only miss key free throws, but also have a high probability of not winning the championship. The O'Brien Cup is for real men, and big boys can't touch such an honor.

Howard was like that back then, and now, people think that Link is the same.

But no one thought that Link would actually be against Ray. Allen's stunner shot was such a tough response.

"Ray. Allen's goal is undoubtedly great, but is it a little disrespectful for Link to comment on it? ”

"It's very much in Link's style, isn't that what he is?"

"Is it hard to lose or to lose? It turns out that the Heat are indeed more mature than the Grizzlies. ”

"Link's words are not unreasonable, and the Heat have to rely on a stunner to win the game, doesn't it prove that they actually played very hard?"

When Link's response was reported by reporters, it immediately caused an uproar. Normally, the opponent completes the lore, even if you are very unhappy, but the most basic "business blowing" still has to have.

To put it politely, you won't suffer anywhere.

But Link just doesn't play according to the routine, and he doesn't play according to the rules. Aaron's magical lore was not praised at all, and he directly said "Ray. Allen's magical shot is about my", which can be described as fresh and refined.

Link's forthright answer was naturally met with a lot of attacks, but equally, his unruly personality also attracted many fans.

Back then, Aaron. Iverson didn't survive in the league by being polite. Kobe Bryant did not rely on slapping Jordan's sycophants back then, but became the man closest to Jordan.

Link has that kind of temperament that refuses to admit defeat, and usually such people can do something on the contrary.

Their respect for their predecessors is never in their mouths, but in their hearts.

Ignoring your age and treating you as a fierce rival is true respect.

Well, the people who support Link and the people who hate it are basically half and half now. Some want to see Link make a comeback, while others want Link to pay for his hubris.

But at least Link has sent a message to everyone – I haven't surrendered yet.

"This kid is very stubborn." Thunder. Aaron looked at the news on his phone and, to be honest, didn't feel angry.

Although he was a well-mannered person, although he received a good education from an early age. But Ray. Aaron is well aware that gentlemanly demeanor doesn't play a role in winning the finals.

"To be honest, I thought he was going to be devastated. I didn't expect the mentality to be so good. James also shook his head, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, it seems that it has to be busy again.

In the last game, the Heat looked very glamorous. Not only did he equalize the overall score of the series, but he also staged a classic stunner.

But James knows better than anyone how hard it was to play in the last game.

Link had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, which is not bad. James put down his body on the defensive end and fought Link like a blue-collar player, and still allowed him to score 28 points.

And in Ray. Before Allen's three-pointer, James's three-pointer was knocked out of the frame.

The Heat's last win was far from being as great as people thought. On the contrary, the Heat even have some embarrassment rolling in the mud. Although it was the Heat who finally got up from the mud, they were still embarrassed.

Now, watching Link recover so well, James has a headache.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain will inevitably be wrying in the mud with Link again.

"Anyway, the next game is our last home game of the season. Let's hope we can leave a good night for the home fans. I'll do what I can, LeBron. "Ray. Aaron put down his phone and smiled at James.

It's time to train.

James was glad he had Ray by his side. A helper like Aaron, which made him wonder how terrifying that Link guy really was.

Durant's talent is already rare in the world, but when Durant played in the Finals for the first time, James really didn't feel any pressure. When Durant played in the Finals last year, wasn't it Link's age.

But now against the Grizzlies and Link, James is playing so hard. With so many great helpers, it's so hard to play.

He had to admit that Link, the second place, was overwhelming.

The next one is the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Since the introduction of the 232 format in 1985, there have been 10 2-2 draws, seven of which have been won by the team that won the fifth game. James knew he had to withstand the pressure from behind him.

Link wasn't crushed, and he couldn't be the first to fall.

He's the MVP, which is a great accolade, but he doesn't want Link to take the championship trophy with him. Children make choices, and adults will reap all the honor!

※※※

On June 16, the night of Game 5 of the series, Link was not surprised when he found himself in the arena and warmly "greeted" by the Heat fans.

Globally, people who like Link and those who hate it are half and half. But in the American Airlines Center, for those who like Link and those who hate Link, Billy may be 0 to 100.

Link vs. Ray. Allen's insulting rhetoric, as well as his previous provocation of Wade, have made Link a thorn in the side of Miami fans.

They don't think that the young Link can shake the leadership of the Heat, and if a little ghost can override the rule of the Big Three, then how awesome he is.

In this world, there is no such powerful person.

Link didn't care about the boos, and he didn't care about the nameplates that insulted him. In fact, security at the American Airlines Center has confiscated most of the plates. Otherwise, Link would have seen even more excessively.

"Link was beaten by Andre after his last fight. Iguodala helped out of the court. The post-match press conference was not very energetic. But now, Link is visibly relieved. As he said in an interview, his goal is to beat the Heat, not to be afraid! ”

Mike. Brin continued to explain the finals today, and seeing Link adjust so quickly, Brin was actually quite happy.

If Link falls like this, then this year's Finals will be too high and low.

Link did a simple stretch when he got on the court, and then he started practicing his free throw shooting and three-point shooting.

In the last game, Link thought he had lost on free throws and three-pointers. Today, he's going to double it!

Before the start of the game, the sideline reporter David . Aldridge originally wanted to interview Link, but was refused! Link doesn't want to be bothered, he just wants to focus on practice now!

In desperation, Aldridge had no choice but to find Iguodala.

"Andre, the importance of this game goes without saying. Whoever wins the fifth race will have their hands on the championship trophy. How would you respond to the Heat's three-pointers today? Will you still choose to use Link to execute the key ball? ”

"It's a secret, David. But I know that after today's game, some people can shut up. Iguodala pointed to the camera, and it was clear that the "some" he was talking about were the ones who shouted at Link for not knowing how to respect him.

James is also preparing at full strength, and he must limit Link's scoring to less than 25 points today.

To accomplish this, James decided to put Link a little away. Because of the first few games, James was really a little embarrassed.

Link, this guy, the dribbling level is really not ordinary, and it is difficult to block his change of direction. The only way to do this is to increase the amount of advance and widen the gap between you and Link.

The game started very quickly, and today, Ray. Allen is still the starter and also gets a close-up of the camera. After the last game, people can no longer ignore this legendary shooter who is ready to aim and fire.

The Grizzlies are still a big and four small lineup, with Link who missed key free throws in the last game and Jimmy, who didn't have the last defense in place. Butler, who continued to start.

Link stood in his own half, his eyes focused. The Battle of Tianwang Mountain, this time, Link will not allow himself to miss it again!

The referee tossed the ball into the air, and Gasol scrambled past Bosh this time. James didn't hesitate and immediately leaned towards Link, but didn't press on.

Obviously, it is to prevent Link from breaking through!

"Mike!"

Seeing this, Link immediately yelled and directly asked Conley for the ball.

Conley didn't hesitate, everyone on the Grizzlies team was 100% for Link, so he immediately passed the ball over.

Link received a basketball on the march and came to an abrupt stop outside the three-point line. Just when James was still thinking about which way Link would break through, Link directly pulled up and shot!

"This ...... Shooting the ball as soon as he catches the ball from beyond the three-point line, is Link in too much of a hurry? "Mike. Before Brin could react, he saw Link very casually outside the three-point line.

Although the more complex the strategy, the easier it is to make mistakes, but this is too simple and crude, and some of the Grizzlies' players are not even in place.

James was a little caught off guard, and he had already let Link take a small step, but before he could react in time, he was stunned to let Link calmly throw the ball.

Link lost from beyond the three-point line yesterday and he's going to get it back as soon as he starts! When I warmed up today, my shooting felt very hot! Now that you have the chance, how about giving it a try?

This shot, which looked a little rushed, ended up with a three-pointer! Basketball goes into the net, Link hits a three-point shot!

"In! Link took the lead for the Grizzlies as soon as he started! "Mike. Brin was a little surprised, these three points are really hard enough!

And on the field, after scoring a goal, Link also yelled at his teammates very rarely!

"Keep it up, we won't lose tonight!"

Memphis's No. 0 is already starting to really understand what it takes to be a leader.
