Before the historic competition between the Heat and the Grizzlies began, James had just reached a career milestone by becoming the youngest 23,000-point man in NBA history against the Timberwolves.

And this time against the Grizzlies, James only needs to score 11 points, and the total score in a single season can exceed 2,000 points. If James does that, then he will achieve the achievement of scoring more than 2,000 points in a single season for nine consecutive seasons.

Scoring over 9,000 points in nine consecutive seasons is a remarkable achievement. In the history of the NBA, only Karl. Malone's 12 and Jordan's 11 did more than James. As long as James scores 11 points in the next game, he can move up to third all-time in this record.

James' back-to-back career milestone nights should have been covered by the media. But in the face of the Grizzlies' 72-win run, James' milestones are rarely mentioned except for a few local Miami media outlets.

All it is known is that the Grizzlies have the potential to create a second 72-win myth in the next game. But no one knew that James had become the youngest Mr. 23,000 points, and James was about to break 2,000 points in a single season for 9 consecutive seasons.

James, a supporting role, deserves to be thorough.

Therefore, before the game began, James was full of anger in his heart.

You can imagine a superstar who has been in the national spotlight since high school and is suddenly crushed by a draft after more than 10 years of running rampant in the league. As long as you are a normal person, you will feel angry and unwilling.

What's more, the undrafted draft also claimed to get a winning streak on himself, which was even more unbearable.

So, James has become unsmiling since he entered the Federal Express Arena today.

Wade has rarely seen James treat a regular season game with this attitude, and a few days ago, they were even studying how to fight the Pacers. For the Heat, the regular season seems to have become a thing of the past. They've put most of their energy into the upcoming playoffs, and they don't care if they're first or second in the East in the end.

But today, James was so serious ahead of a regular season game. Wade knows that this game has gone beyond victory and defeat for James, and it is about dignity!

Whether James' position as "the league's No. 1" can be confirmed depends on the results of the Heat and Grizzlies this season.

Wade walked into the players' tunnel to find the staff at the Federal Express Arena as busy as ever.

The group didn't know what a great matchup they were about to witness, but Wade could foresee it. Once James is serious, it is very difficult to beat. And Link's strength, Wade also knows the roots.

This match between James and Link is destined to fight to the end, and it will certainly be an earth-shattering classic matchup.

Wade shrugged, tonight was not destined to be peaceful.

"Link, you clean up that LeBron guy for me tonight. You're right, we don't have to wait, we're going to get 72 wins today! ”

Randolph was very excited today, even though he wasn't the star of the game, even though he wasn't the focus, even though he knew he might not even be able to start.

But he was still excited.

When he first entered the Grizzlies, his desire was to help the Grizzlies revival, and to make this team that respects him really strong and complete mutual redemption.

As a result, no one on the Grizzlies team was more excited than Randolph at this time. He doesn't care about personal gains and losses, he simply hopes that the grizzlies can stand on top of the world.

According to the experience of the previous encounters between the two sides, Randolph and James will suffer very much if they play the No. 4 position against each other. Every time he plays the Heat, Vogel has to send a big and four small lineup to stabilize the situation.

As a result, Randolph reckons he may not be able to get a starting spot today.

But that still can't stop his enthusiasm, and he felt like a rookie playing for the first time today. Even if you just sit on the bench, you will be at your fullest.

"Please, Zach, you have a chance to clean up LeBron yourself. It's a credit to everyone to be able to play like this season, and everybody is important. Link laughed as he put on his gear.

Compared with the bitter and vengeful James, Link's mentality is more relaxed. Because even if this game is lost, the Grizzlies have nothing to regret. The 72 wins that should be won can still be won, and the history that should be created can still be created.

So, Link doesn't actually have any psychological burden, just fight well and it's over!

"Me? I'm going to have to wave a towel off the pitch today. But that's okay, I can guarantee that every time you score, you'll see my amazing dance moves! Randolph said, wiggling his fat buttocks.

"Come on, Zack, you're a writhing piece of pork belly at best." Tony. Allen made a joke about Randolph, causing all the Grizzlies players in the locker room to laugh.

Vogel looked at the smiling players and felt a lot more comfortable. The atmosphere in this team can ensure that each of them bursts out with the strongest fighting power on the field.

Before the start of the game, Vogel laid out today's starting lineup. Sure enough, Zach. Randolph was not listed. In order to deal with the Heat's big four and small, Vogel used Link to play power forward and Tony Vogel. Allen started in place of Randolph.

None of the players were surprised. Before the game started, the Heat did send a large and four small lineup.

Chalmers, Wade, Ray. Allen, James and Bosh, that's the Heat's starting point today. They will use this lineup to withstand the Grizzlies' 72-win streak.

James didn't talk to any Grizzlies players before today's game. Even Mike, who played for the Heat last season. Miller, James didn't say hello to him either.

It can be seen that James is not here to make friends today, he is here to win.

After this game, James needs people to remember that he has scored more than 2,000 points for the ninth consecutive season, not the Grizzlies' 72 wins!

He's going to take back the protagonist's place!

The referee blew the whistle, and the most high-profile regular season game before the playoffs officially began.

This time, Bosh had a rare chance of getting the ball first from Gasol. From the first second of the game, Randolph stood on the sidelines excitedly, cheering on his teammates.

Chalmers slowly controlled the ball close to the Grizzlies halfcourt, and Link noticed that the Heat's offensive tempo was surprisingly slow today.

However, whether it's fast or slow, the most threatening point for the Heat is James. As a result, Link has been wrapping around James before he catches the ball, preventing him from easily catching the basketball in a comfortable position.

Others may have overlooked James' Milestone Night, but Link didn't. He knew very well how aggrieved James was now, so Link didn't dare to be distracted. In this game, the Heat will definitely play as a Finals!

James flexibly interspersed with runs, but the Asian player wearing the No. 0 jersey behind him was like James's shadow, no matter how he shook it.

The battle between the two men has been heating up since the first round, as if two track and field athletes were running the 1,000m as if it were the 100m. As soon as the game began, he went straight to the sprint.

Just when people thought that Link and James would face each other one-on-one in the first round, Chalmers passed the basketball to Ray, who had reached the bottom right corner at some point. Aaron's hands.

Tony. Allen had just gotten rid of Bosh's off-ball cover and was far from Ray. Aaron is still some way away. The rest of the Grizzlies' attention was on James, and they didn't think to make up for the lightning defense at all. Alan.

Thunder. Allen caught the basketball steadily and seized this fleeting opportunity to make a decisive shot!

Tony. Allen pounced forward so hard that even when he was just blocked by an off-ball screen, he struggled to interfere with the opposition's shots. If it's an ordinary player, or even some stars whose three-point shooting is not so skilled, it may be Tony. Aaron's lifeless posture was bluffed.

But Ray. Aaron, one of the league's best shooters, won't be so easily intimidated.

From the stands, Ray. Aaron is kind of on top of Tony. Allen's defense shot. But it's only Tony. Aaron himself knew that he still gave Ray. A trace of space in Aaron, a trace of space that is enough for a top shooter to find a crosshair!

Basketball crosses Tony. Behind Aaron's fingertips, he swiped a perfect rainbow arc, rolled up the net, and fell to the ground.

Thunder. Allen hit a three-point shot to take the lead for the Heat! The Heat's refusal to be the Grizzlies' backdrop is not only James' wish, but also the wish of the entire Heat team!

"Ray. Allen was on fire today, hitting a three-pointer as soon as he started. However, this is destined to be a long-term battle, and the Heat will have to continue to be cautious about the game. ”

Hubi. Brown, like most people, didn't pay much attention to the three-pointer. Thunder. It would be strange if Allen didn't score a few threes in a game.

But James was in Ray. Aaron slightly hooked the corners of his mouth after scoring the goal, and then high-fived him vigorously. The Heat's winning formula today was the three-point shot! With no dominance on the inside, the Heat want to make a big fuss with the three-point shot.

Once the three-pointers are opened and the defense is pulled apart, James can also attack the basket with impunity.

Just now, Ray, Allen undoubtedly gave the Heat's strategy today a good start.

James likes the calm look on his opponent's face at this time, because before the storm comes, it is often very quiet.

And when the storm comes, it's too late!

The Grizzlies players are not aware of the crisis yet, and for James, it's just right, it's just right......
