This season's Heat is much more mature than last season, and the combination between James, Wade and Bosh is becoming more and more tacit.

The 17-game winning streak at home is proof of that. Although the Heat lost to Boston yesterday, it was in the North Shore Gardens, and it was on the territory of the Green Shirts.

And in Miami, the Heat haven't lost 17 games in a row at home! In the stands, there were also countless fans holding up plaques with the number "18" written on them.

There's no doubt that everyone is hoping that the Heat's home winning streak can continue. Although he was the first to score a goal in the opening game, and although Link was very excited as soon as he came up, everyone was still full of confidence in the Heat Big Three.

The cheers continued, and the Heat fans were quite motivated to eat the Grizzlies.

Defending such an honorable battle at home, James naturally will not back down. He's more focused on the defensive end and Link is a player who is very good at spotting opportunities. Just now, James was caught by Link for an offensive rebound because he didn't top someone on the outside.

This time, Link kept interspersing runs to draw the attention of the Heat's defense. As everyone knows, Conley suddenly singled and killed Chalmers by surprise.

As the starting point guard of a team aiming to win a championship, Chalmers, like Fisher of the Lakers before him, has been criticized.

After all, the task of organizing the offense has always been James's own bagging, and Chalmers' task is almost none, except for dribbling over half court and hitting some open shots.

Defend? Limited by his athleticism and physique, Chalmers has been embarrassed defensively. Although steals are powerful, steals are not the only criterion for judging whether a player's defense is excellent.

Conley looked like he was going to pass the ball to Link, who had been running aggressively, but suddenly a change of direction accelerated and cleared Chalmers.

After hitting the mid-range, Conley made a shot and hit the basket steadily. James looked at Conley, who hit the shot, and then at Link, who ran extremely positively but didn't even touch the ball, and felt that the entire Heat team's defense was being played.

From the very beginning, the Grizzlies' offense didn't want to find Link at all!

Link spread his hand at James, the Grizzlies are different from the Heat, the Heat, with their toes, they can figure out which only three people can score. On the Grizzly Bears' side, there are a lot of people who can stand up and score points!

Sticking to Link won't work.

"4-0, the Heat got off to a bad start. I don't know how hard that big defeat yesterday was for the Heat. But if the Grizzlies break the Heat's 17-game winning streak at home today, the blow to Heat fans will be unpredictable. ”

Inside the American Airlines Center, the cheers were noticeably quieter. In most people's minds, the Grizzlies are a team that doesn't get into the mix.

Although they reached the Western Conference Finals last season, they have been ranked in the top four in the West this year. But most fans still believe that the Grizzlies are the kind of team that has some strength, but not enough to challenge for a championship team.

However, the quality of the Grizzlies after the opening made Heat fans gasp.

They're strong, really strong. If the Heat don't regroup quickly, they may really overturn.

Before I knew it, the cheers in the American Airlines Center were much quieter.

It's offensive time for the Heat again, and James now knows that it's hard to score efficiently with brute force alone, and Link is no longer the "bamboo pole" that flew as soon as he hit it last season.

This time, James and Wade played a pick-and-roll strategy, James covered Wade, and then cut to the basket and waited for Wade to pass the ball.

At first, James and Wade thought that they could use this trick to force a change of defense. And once there is a change of defense, there is a gap.

However, Tony. How could Aaron let Wade get his way so easily. He squeezed past James' cover and returned to Wade! And Link stays around James at any time, and there is no fleeting space at all!

"Nice defending, Janway facing Link and Toney. Allen's defensive chain is not easy at all. ”

Wade ultimately chose to pass the ball to James, but James didn't receive the basketball when he was defended by Link. As soon as Link stretched his arm, he cut off the basketball halfway, and Wade missed!

"It's Link again, and he's ruining Wade's pass to James. This guy is very focused on the defensive end, and Wade can't afford to leave anything to chance. ”

Mike. As soon as Bryn's words fell, Link made a long pass to Tony. Alan.

Tony. Allen rode a thousand kills to the frontcourt, and Wade was trying to chase back, but it was difficult to catch up.

Today's Wade's physical condition is actually not very good. He is still one of the strongest No. 2 positions in the league, but his ability is indeed not as good as it was back then. For example, the iconic chase is difficult for Wade to stage right now.

James followed in Wade's place, ready to chase Tony. Alan. But Tony. Allen gave the ball to Link after entering the penalty area, and James made a save!

Link continued to break through after receiving the ball, and James simply guarded to the basket, ready to fight Link in the second round. The defense of the entire Heat team also shrank in with Link.

However, when Link was about to collide with James, he secretly flicked his wrist and distributed the ball outside the three-point line!

There, Zach who had just run up. Randolph is unattended!

Randolph has always been a fat man who likes to shoot three-pointers, and during the New York period, this guy averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, but the shooting rate was only 29.2%, which is really a cancer.

But right now, Randolph doesn't have a problem shooting from beyond the three-point line. But if it's an open three-point opportunity, Randolph is willing to try.

He took his actions in stride, without even having to adjust. Link was comfortable with the ball and just the right height for Randolph to pick up and shoot.

"Damn, what about our defense!?" Randolph had barely made a move when James yelled.

Sure enough, in the next second, Randolph entered the net with three points! Grizzlies lead Heat 7-0!

Randolph's stats have really dropped seriously this season because of his physical condition. But if you think Randolph is no longer a threat, you are very wrong!

"7-0, Link's pass is amazing! He played very freely today, had a clear idea in his head, and didn't short-circuit his head just because it was James. It seems that he is well prepared for this match. ”

James shook his head, and the Heat didn't guard again! It is said that the Grizzlies are weak in attack and strong in defense, but the Grizzlies have already made 3 of 3 this time.

Basketball can only be played by five players, compared to 11 for football, 11 for football, and nine for baseball. So in basketball, the impact of an individual on the team is still very huge. And Link, his presence has undoubtedly made a drastic change in the Grizzlies' offense.

In the next few rounds, the Heat still struggled very much. A few minutes later, the score was 14-6 and the Grizzlies continued to lead. James and Wade were replaced by Link and Tony. Aaron didn't stand a chance. The Heat's six points came from Bosh.

The cheers went from violent to faint, until now they were completely gone. The confidence of Miami fans is being stifled little by little.

Seeing this, Heat Filipino coach Spoelstra called a timeout. It's not a good thing for the team to be passive early in the game.

"The Grizzlies' pressing defense has caused huge problems for the Heat! The Heat look very tired, and maybe they haven't recovered from yesterday's game. But on the court, the Grizzlies aren't going to let that be a gamble. ”

Kevin. Harlan was right, because at this point, the tactic that Hollins was laying out for his players was, "Keep pressing, don't give them any respite!" ”

Grassroots Grizzlies oppress the Big Three Heat? Sounds crazy, doesn't it? However, that's how crazy the NBA is.

On the first offense after the timeout, James shook off Link with a counterrun, and then Wade made a pass just right, assisting James to get a dunk in the air, and James connected to make a match.

Everyone, including Spoelstra, thought this would be the beginning of the Heat's comeback.

However, this good time was very short-lived. Because after that, under the pressing defense of the Grizzlies, the Heat fell into a cycle of mistakes.

Bosh had the ball on his back and was taken away by Randolph.

James forced a break through Link, and the basketball skater went out of bounds in the confrontation.

Wade then hung inside to make an empty pass to James, but Link, who suffered a loss, jumped up and intercepted the pass in the air. He has ruined the connection of Janeway and has become a thorn in the side of Heat fans.

After a meal, after the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies led the Heat by 25-12, 13 points!

There was a dead silence in the audience, and no one believed that the grizzly bear had such energy!

Wade swallowed eggs in the first quarter and had three turnovers. James made just 1 of 3 shots and also had 1 turnover. On the other hand, on the Grizzlies' side, Link had 6 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds, and in the face of James, he was in danger and filled out his data sheet steadily.

Now, all Heat fans know that the Grizzlies are not here to send warmth!

"Damn, what the hell!" Wade came off the court and yelled, he was really unhappy with his performance in the first quarter. If you can't throw it, forget it, and you still make continuous mistakes.

"Rest well, you're too tired." James patted Wade on the shoulder, then didn't say anything more.

He trusts Wade, and he believes that the game is far from over.

The 13-point gap is not big or small. Wade believes he has adapted to this pressing defense and scored more points in the second place.

But at this time, Wade's mind flashed a text message that Kobe Bryant sent him yesterday.

"That kid can score more than you think, Dwayne."

Wade shook his head, not thinking about the mess anymore. In the second quarter of the game, it was time to put out all the firepower.
