Link showed his excellent form with his two successive take-offs.

The fans who wanted to see Link roll over on the basketball court are now dead.

Grizzlies are indeed not invincible, and there are actually many ways to win against Grizzlies.

But there's only one way you can't try it—and that's to wait for Link to have a problem with his own state.

With 82 regular-season games and 13 playoff games before that, Link has hardly had any games that have been out of shape. Even when facing the Spurs in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, Link made only 2 of 9 three-point shots, which seemed to be very bad.

However, in the end, Link also relied on three-pointers to kill the game. This three-point score, which is worth a thousand dollars, is enough to make Link take off the hat of "bad hand".

So, even though Link didn't seem to have done anything other than spend the other day with the mysterious woman the other day. But if you think that Link will fall on his own, you're very wrong.

James knew it was time for him to make a move. Playing against the Grizzlies must not allow them to get a huge advantage early.

The Grizzlies are pretty much the best team in the league to control the situation on the court, and once they get the rhythm in their hands, it's hard to turn the tables around.

James still remembers that in several games last season, the Grizzlies made shocking comebacks against the Heat.

Perhaps this is because of Nick. Yang suddenly had a convulsion, perhaps because Link fought bravely. In short, the Grizzlies just have a way to turn the tide.

And there are very few teams that can reverse the Grizzlies when they are suppressed. In this year's Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers came close to completing a 22-point comeback against the Grizzlies, but it was only narrow.

James has given up on the intention of continuing to probe the temptation, and now, at this moment, he must attack with all his might!

So in this round, James did not continue to act as a playmaker, but played back to the role of the finisher he liked.

Link saw James' expression change, and he tried his best to keep it on guard, but was delayed by an off-ball cover from Bosh.

James came out and successfully received the basketball, and then broke through decisively!

Link puffed up his chest and continued to stick it up! This year's Defensive Player of the Year won't be beaten by a mere off-ball screen, if you ask Chris. What Paul has learned about Link's defense, he's going to tell you something like "never feel like you've won until basketball actually goes to the net." ”

However, James was not surprised by Link's quick reply. If he really shook off Link so easily, it would have been a real surprise.

Instead of slowing down, James continued to move towards Link, and the two huge forces collided violently.

"Bang!"

The muffled sound of the collision between the two muscles made the players around them tremble, and they really couldn't imagine what they would be like if they were in front of those two people.

Link's physical confrontation ability is now very top-notch, but he was pushed out a few steps by James with all his strength.

James then took the opportunity to stop and slow down, and then shot a mid-range jumper!

"Damn!" Link ignored the pain in his chest and immediately raised his arms high to block the shot.

James' pull-up jump shot is really simple and rough, and ordinary people's pull-up jump shots either rely on rhythm or beautiful step-backs.

James' pull-up jump shot is good, relying on directly knocking opponents into the air to gain space!

James' shot was a little bit backwards, but the shot wasn't fast. However, Link was knocked too far away, and he still didn't interfere with James' shooting in the first place.

"Brush."

James hit the first shot of the day for the Heat! Moreover, it is still scored by shooting.

The Heat's No. 6 slammed his chest, and he wasn't going to be crushed by Link with just two shots!

"Damn, that's a tough guy." Link rubbed his chest, still stuffy.

"Do you need to change guards?" Iguodala leaned in and suggested.

If Iguodala switches to James, Link will be able to focus more on the offensive end. Last season, they did just that.

"No need, you continue to be optimistic about Wade, LeBron is mine today!" Link waved his hand, he didn't want to hide behind Iguodala like a shrunken turtle!

For one, Link thinks he's actually better defensively than Iguodala right now. Defending James himself is definitely better than Iguodala defending James.

Secondly, Link will also greatly consume James on the defensive end. And once James' physical strength starts to run out, he will choose to use the easier way of shooting to solve the problem.

But James' biggest flaw is precisely in shooting! As long as he is forced to shoot, the Heat's offensive efficiency will definitely decline!

Therefore, Link must personally "torture" James and not give him any respite.

As soon as the game began, James and Link set the tone for the game.

The Heat No. 6 and Grizzlies No. 0 are like the "magicians" and "big birds" of the 80s.

While there are plenty of other standout players in both teams, it's Link and James who are the main players.

In the following game, Link and James explained what it means to be a Finals-level intensity.

Every time Link tried to push a step further, he had to engage in the fiercest hand-to-hand combat with James.

James is not easy either, and although Link may not be able to hold him hard, every confrontation between him and Link requires a lot of physical strength.

After that, the two were fiercely battling each other even before receiving the ball. Their wars are fought all the time, and even if it is just to fight for a vantage point, each side will do everything in its power to stop the other.

Shortly after the first quarter of the game, James and Link both became sweaty. The consumption of both of them is very large, and ordinary people may not be able to hold out for even three minutes at this intensity.

Link and James, on the other hand, have to fight each other until the end.

With the desperate efforts of the two, neither side was able to pull the score away. The game was very anxious from the scene to the score, and after the first quarter, the Grizzlies only led the Heat by six points at 26-20.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Bosh and Ray came off the bench. Allen hit three-pointers in quick succession, and the 6-point deficit was smoothed out in an instant. After that, there was another chaotic battle.

In the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies attacked for the last time. When Link broke through with the ball and jumped to the basket, only to be knocked down by James, Link, who was lying on the wooden floor, felt exhausted for the first time.

Link knew that physical fitness was the greatest talent that came with his body. Normally, Link wouldn't have been able to feel out of breath in the first half of the game.

But today, before half the game was played, Link felt like his body was about to fall apart.

In the past, after Link fell, he usually got up on his own as soon as possible. But today, he gasped on the floor a little longer, and in the end he was killed by Jimmy. Butler and Della Vedova pulled up.

"It looks like Link is very tired, he is simply sweating today!" Hubi. Brown shook his head, and when Link got up, a humanoid watermark was left on the wooden floor.

"Link and LeBron are both at odds with each other and I don't know if they can continue to fight like this in the second half. They have no reservations, and they all seem to want to take out the opponent in front of them immediately. "Mike. Brin was also talking about fitness, and no one knew how Link and James were going to play in the second half.

After such a half, ordinary players are probably out of strength.

These two guys are really ruthless!

Link stood at the free-throw line, and for some reason, he felt the air around him become extremely hot.

This burning sensation has been around me all this day, especially after the second quarter.

Although the physical exertion was very much today, Link always felt that this burning sensation was very abnormal. He hadn't been so tired before, but he had never felt like the air was heating up.

Link didn't think much of it, he tried to calm his breath and took the first shot.

But the near-exhaustion of physical strength allowed Link's first free throw to crash out of the box, and his fitness had already affected his shooting action!

Link shook his head, high-fived his teammates, and looked at the rebound.

But through the transparent rebounds, Link found that even the fans in the stands seemed to be choking on the heat. They were all tugging at their clothes to breathe, and kept fanning themselves with their hands to cool down.

It seems that it wasn't just Link himself who felt the scorching heat in the air.

Could it be ......

Link continued to make free throws, the second free throw, and Link hit it steadily after adjustment. With that ball, the Grizzlies took a five-point lead at 54-49.

In the final 1.8 seconds, the Heat had a chance to shoot a long-range three-pointer. But this kind of ball, you can't score a few goals in a season.

Wade's ultra-long-range three-pointers didn't even stick to the frame, and the five-point difference remained to the end.

With Wade's strength, it is impossible for him to shoot ultra-long-distance three-pointers without even touching the frame, unless, he has no strength anymore!

Link looked around again and found that not only himself and James, but everyone on both the Heat and Grizzlies teams looked exhausted.

That's when Link knew what the problem was.

Sure enough, as soon as the players returned to the locker room at halftime, head coach Dave Brown. Joggle made an unfortunate announcement.

"Bad news, guys. There was a problem with the air conditioning system in the arena and it is currently being repaired. However, it is not known how long it will take to repair. So in the second half, we had to continue to fight in the heat close to 40°C! ”

As Link thought, history repeated itself in the 2014 Finals.

In the second half, fighting in the heat, it was a matter of who could hold on to the end!

Link took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breathing rate. He began to rejoice, glad that he had rested for a few days...... As for James, who was still training intensively before the finals, well, he might be in big trouble.
