Surprises, for Spoelstra, today's game was full of surprises.

In the first quarter, Link easily broke through James, unexpectedly. In the first quarter, James made only 1 of 4 shots, which was unexpected.

In the second quarter, when Spoelstra sent a mixed lineup with strong firepower and was about to overtake the score, he found that the Grizzlies' 1 starting and 4 bench lineup was also not weak!

Harris can attack and defend, and did not let James, who plays the No. 4 position, take advantage of it. Jimmy. Butler worked the defensive end, and although Wade could still score, the scoring process was not easy. Vasquith is elusive, with accurate passing and solid open shots. Ezeli moves quickly and defends well.

Not to mention Link, who was running all over the field today and could be found in any corner. When the four substitutes didn't get a chance, Link always stepped up and helped the team break the deadlock.

Under Link's leadership, the Grizzlies' lineup did not lose the advantage, but expanded the advantage to 8 points! At the end of the second quarter, when Spoelstra had to start the rotation and Stevens was able to start four starts, the Filipino coach had only one word in mind.

Accidentally!

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, the black and white bears carried the offensive banner. Without James and Wade on the floor, the Bears can focus more on the offensive end. Although this set of starters is missing Link, the overall performance is also quite good.

In the end, after halftime, the score became 52-43. The Miami Heat relied on the last-minute Norris Heat. Kerr's buzzer-beating three-pointer narrowed the margin to single digits.

When Kerr hit that buzzer-beating long shot, the Heat players didn't cheer uncontrollably, but still had a heavy face.

Because they know that even if this three-point shot is made, the Heat's situation is still very dangerous.

Today at the American Airlines Center, their winning streak was in jeopardy.

LeBron. James sat in the locker room looking at his stats and felt incredibly humiliated.

In the first quarter, 4 shots were 1 hit, and in the second quarter, it was good, simply 3 shots and 0 shots! The Grizzlies did too well on his defense, with Iguodala and Tony in the first quarter. Allen, Harris, Butler and Link in the second quarter...... No matter how James changes, he's going to be a defensive stalwart. And once James breaks through, someone on the inside line will immediately stand up and encircle James.

Under such a wheel battle, James was completely lost on the offensive end today. He didn't have a high desire to break through, but tried a lot of mid-to-long-range shots that he wasn't good at, so the efficiency was dismal. 3 points at halftime, let alone 100 points, he is now far from 30 points.

If it weren't for Wade's 8 points in the first quarter, Ray. Allen's six points in a single quarter, coupled with Kerr's final three-pointer at the buzzer, the Heat really don't know what the situation will be now.

Spoelstra roared in the dressing room, not blaming the players, but arranging tactics loudly. Doing so will boost the concentration of the players and at the same time, it will also get everyone as excited as possible.

But even then, even if the entire locker room was filled with Spoelstra's voice, James couldn't listen.

Now, his mind is full of Link's pre-match provocations. Being provoked by a third-grader finally made his wish come true? James couldn't accept that!

"You can't even score 30 points...... You can't even score 30 points......"

James covered his head, trying to get the voice out. Wade seemed to notice James's abnormality, so before he appeared, he patted his good brother on the shoulder.

"What's the saying? There are players who are cold in their hands even if they are cold for the whole game, but they are dangerous at critical moments. Don't worry, LeBron, I'll stand up. And when it counts, I know you're going to step up. ”

Wade smiled at James and stepped onto the court.

Wade also spent the whole night in the wheel battle. On the offensive end, Wade had to face Link and Jimmy. Butler's sticker. But even so, Wade still did not give up, but responded to the other party with performance.

James let out a sigh of relief, then patted his chest. Wade has fought hard for this game, and James feels that he should step up in the second half of the game.

No matter how hard it is, just rush! As long as you are willing to fight, you are not afraid of no chance!

James received a pass from Wade on the outside, and this time, he finally faced the coveted Zach . Randolph.

Randolph posted it, and he knew that James had tried a lot of mid-range shots today, so he wasn't going to give James any space.

However, James suddenly accelerated at the moment when Randolph's center of gravity moved forward, and passed past the big black bear!

"If you break through, can LeBron score?"

As he spoke, James had already smashed into the paint zone. Mark, who is still second in the Best Defensive Player Prediction Rankings, is still in second place. Gasol quickly made up for it, but before he could jump, he collided with James who was rushing at great speed.

At that moment, Gasol felt like he had been hit by a bullet!

James bumped into Gasol, which was equally uncomfortable. Going head-to-head with this kind of heavy center, and the speed suddenly drops from 100 to 0, this kind of impact is not something that anyone can withstand.

Even James couldn't withstand such an impact, and he hurriedly threw the ball into the air, and the basketball didn't even touch the frame.

But at this time, the referee's hurried whistle sounded! Gasol is fouled on defense, and James will be on the free throw line again!

"Damn, this is a reasonable collision!" At this time, even Gasol, who has always been emotionally stable, couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly spread out his hands to chase the referee's theory.

Because the fourth quarter has been played until now, James doesn't know how many times he has stood on the free throw line!

In the second half, the hero that Heat fans were hoping for finally appeared. James picked up in the third quarter, scoring six points on 3-of-5 shooting. His biggest change is that he dares to attack the basket against the defense, instead of shooting from mid-to-long range.

Although Wade is still the big scorer, James is showing signs of recovery, which still gives hope to the whole Heat team.

And in the fourth quarter, James finally stood up completely! Not only did he actively grab rebounds, but he also made many wonderful passes. On top of that, James' breakthrough was more resolute. As a result, James repeatedly won free throws for himself. If Link remembers correctly, this should be James' third time at the free-throw line this quarter.

In other words, James got a chance to score 6 points just by making free throws in this quarter.

The banner on Wade's shoulders was taken over by James!

Gasol Jr. was still chasing the referee to exonerate himself, but it didn't help. Gasol's goal really can't be said to be completely clean, it belongs to the kind of ball that "can be blown or not blown". But at the American Airlines Center, in the current situation, this kind of ball has become a must-blow.

James eventually got to the free-throw line, trying to breathe and not rushing to shoot.

In the end, driven by a sense of responsibility, James made 2 of 2 free throws, and 5 of 6 free throws so far in the fourth quarter, scoring the 7th point of the game in this quarter! After only 3 points in the first half, he has now accumulated 16 points in this game!

With the efforts of him and Wade, the defending champion Heat is only 2 points behind at this time!

After James hit a free throw, Spoelstra called a timeout. Gasol has already committed four fouls, which is a red flag. In the next game, the Heat will definitely catch Gasol and chase after him. Without that interior defensive sluice, the situation is going to be very difficult for the Grizzlies.

Now that the Grizzlies are too passive, Stevens needs someone who can do some damage to the Heat's defense. The finals are like that, you can't easily take out your opponents. But as long as the mentality does not collapse, the opponent will not want to kill himself easily!

So, Stevens walked up to Link.

'There's six minutes left and until then, I need you to keep scoring.'

The young marshal knew that the time for egalitarianism had passed. Now, it's star-to-star time.
