Before the game started, most fans around the world were waiting to see Link's jokes.

Everyone believes that in the face of LeBron. James, Link who didn't prepare for the game seriously would definitely be beaten to the ground.

At this time, in addition to fans in China and Tennessee, it is estimated that only Kobe, who was recuperating at home early, was full of expectations for Link.

Because he knew Link, he knew that there was no way that Link guy was lazy in training. So yesterday, Kobe Bryant called Seto and asked about Link's situation.

Sure enough, as Kobe imagined, Link didn't seem to work so hard because he was protected.

That being the case, Link should be in pretty good shape today.

His performance can't be bad!

The referee stepped into the centre circle and signaled for both players to get ready. Link looked at the Heat's starters, and there was a change from before.

This time, the Heat's starting five are Chalmers, Wade, James, Lewis and Bosh.

The main change is in Lewis, who didn't get many starts in the regular season, but since the Eastern Conference Finals, he has occupied the starting four position.

Lewis played in the No. 4 position, and the purpose is still very clear.

First of all, nature is to open up the space. While Lewis is no longer what he used to be, his 37.3 percent three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs is above par. Occasionally, Lewis was also able to stage an 18-point explosion in a single game.

Secondly, let Lewis play the No. 4 position, which undoubtedly greatly reduces James' consumption.

Although Lewis has spent most of his career in the No. 3 position, his height of 2.08 meters is not at all a loss to play the No. 4 position. And, Lewis now weighs more than he did during his time with the Magic and Wizards.

Therefore, it is still somewhat resistant in the inner line.

In the end, letting James return to the No. 3 position undoubtedly created an opportunity for James to go all out against Link. Last season, Spoelstra Jean Re. Allen's attempt to defend Link has proven to be a complete failure.

This year, he can't afford to take that risk again.

At least in the Eastern Conference Finals, Lewis' starter worked wonders. So, Spoelstra carried the change over to the finals.

On the Grizzlies' side, Joggle is estimated to have been complained by thousands of fans that "even if the end of the world comes, Joggle will not change the starter." ”

Conley, Link, Iguodala and the Black and White Bears, after continuing the Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies replaced their traditional starters in the Finals.

Joggle hopes the Grizzlies can drag the Heat into positional warfare as much as possible, into a slow-paced offense and defense. Because of the shortcomings of James and Wade's weak projection ability, they will be magnified in positional battles.

Therefore, the lineup of one big and four small did not carry over.

Looking at the starting lineup alone, both sides have actually made a lot of preparations. But no matter how much it changes, the key to the decisive victory in this round of finals will not change.

Link and James are the real keys to victory for both teams. Whoever will be the first to open the door to victory, which team will be able to embrace the championship.

The referee blew the whistle and officially kicked off!

Mark. Gasol relied on his height advantage to get the first attack, and the 13-14 NBA Finals officially started!

Link was excited, and he quickly ran through half the pitch and was ready to catch the ball. He felt that he was full of strength, and he was almost an opportunity to vent it.

James struggled to keep up with Link and not let him catch the ball easily. Today, James came up without reservation. He doesn't seem to be thinking about fitness at all, he's just playing with Link!

James is definitely the league's top perimeter defensive gate, and while he's never won such an honor as Defensive Player of the Year, his defensive ability is actually quite top-notch.

His top-notch physicality has already determined that his lower limit on the defensive end will not be too low. James' extremely high basketball IQ and calm personality allow him to always make the most correct judgments on defense.

Link was so embarrassed by James that Conley wanted to give the ball to Link several times, but he didn't get a chance.

In the end, Link simply leaned on James with his back in the middle distance. It looks like it's going to be a back-to-back single!

James struggled to keep Link out of the game and not let him get his way. In the upper limbs, James held Link's waist with one hand, and raised the other hand high.

The Heat's No. 6 defense is leaky!

Link was pointed at James and pointed to Conley's basket. Conley was a little surprised, but soon his expression returned to his composure.

Looking at Link's determined eyes, Conley gritted his teeth and threw the ball directly towards the basket!

"What!?" James was a little surprised to see that Conley's pass was not a high lob. The ball flew straight to the basket, wasn't the ball passed to Link?

James was thinking about it, but Link, who was leaning on him with his back, suddenly took him as the axis and turned around quickly!

Link turned his back and skimmed James and immediately jumped on the spot, although there was no room to sprint, Link's jump height was still very scary!

Eventually, Link was stunned to receive Conley's pass in the air. Then he stretched out his long arm and smashed the ball into the basket as everyone watched in amazement!

"Boom!"

Link's dunk was very powerful, and the rebounds were dragged down a few centimeters.

He landed steadily, his hands spread out for balance.

"Cool!" Then, Link yelled at a word that everyone on the scene didn't understand. Of course, the Chinese fans understood.

After holding back for so long, Link finally released the energy in his body.

It wasn't until after Link hit the ground that the stunned fans remembered to cheer. Mike. Brin and Hubbie. Brown opened his mouth wide, pretending to have his back to play and then suddenly turned his back to catch the dunk?

It's too hard!

"Mike, did you see Link's take-off just now?" Hubi. Brown finally spoke, and he thought he was dizzy.

"I saw it, and I saw him stretching out in the air with one hand. Link's state is completely fine, and it can be seen from the dunk just now that Link is not only in no condition, but his physical condition is also very good! ”

Mike. Brin reminisced about the empty connection just now, it is really difficult for ordinary people to complete such an action.

After turning his back and brushing the opponent, he has to jump immediately, and he has to dunk when he receives such a high ball. If you are not in good physical condition, you will not be able to play at all.

So, Mike. Brin and Hubbie. Both Brown looked at Bill, who was sitting in the middle. Simmons.

Bill. Simmons couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and he was embarrassed again.

Not to mention Simmons, even James was taken aback by Link's air catch just now.

This is the grand final! Link, however, seemed to be at ease. Not everyone has the guts to try that kind of ball in the finals.

In a heavily defended playoff game, this type of open catch is prone to mistakes.

The Clippers love to play this kind of ball, and the result? The grass on their graves is three feet high.

However, Link was stunned and easily succeeded!

Although James never believed the outside world, he always knew that Link could not indulge himself.

But to be honest, James didn't expect Link's physical condition to be so good!

In the opening game, Link hit the Heat's self-confidence hard.

"That ball was too dangerous just now, and I don't believe the Heat can give him a second chance to show like that. It's just the beginning, so don't get too excited. Simmons finally squeaked after watching the Heat attack.

He only hopes now that the Heat can score quickly and extinguish the Grizzlies' arrogant momentum.

This time, James played the role of a playmaker, unlike Link, who wanted to score points as soon as he came up.

James and Wade worked together tacitly, so that Wade, who cut to the basket, comfortably received the basket.

Wade caught the ball and was not afraid of Gasol Jr. Even if you can't fight, you can still get a foul.

Wade crossed the European Mobile Fortress defense with a throw in the air, and the basketball flew past Gasol's fingertips and was about to crash to the basket.

However, just as the basketball was about to fly to its highest point, a large hand suddenly appeared and pressed the basketball from behind Gasol to the rebound.

Wade's eyes widened, and it was Link again!

"Beautiful defense, Link has once again completed the block of the next man! This time it was even more beautiful, and he directly pressed the basketball on the rebound. But Dwayne, he's definitely ready to celebrate. As everyone knows, it is flying in trouble. Link took off in two rounds in a row, and his physical condition couldn't be better! ”

James frowned, he had just seen Link lightning from himself into the box and then complete the whole process of blocking.

Link's athleticism amazed the physically perverted James!

Even James was shocked, not to mention the fans and Bill. Simmons too.

In just two rounds, Link turned all the doubts about him from the previous days into a joke.

Slacking off on preparation leads to poor form? Sorry, I'm firing all the shots today!

Link has proved that there is no problem with his form, and now, the only one who can stop Link is James.

His play will determine whether this match goes into garbage time or is full of suspense.
