591: Tonight, Miami is not yours
One minute before the game, "Birdman" Anderson had already won his sixth rebound tonight. It was actually very outstanding to be able to get this rebound in a very limited playing time.
Logically speaking, Heat fans should be happy. After all, since January this year, when Anderson has more than 4 rebounds, the Heat have won the ball, without exception.
With so many victories, it is difficult for you to even explain this phenomenon with a simple "coincidence".
But today, even though he had already won his sixth rebound, Anderson and Heat fans couldn't laugh.
Because of the so-called "4+ rebounding law of winning" it will be broken by the Grizzlies today.
"The game is about to end with only 1 minute left, 1 minute! The Miami Heat are still 10 points behind. Their hope for victory is already very slim. The Heat may have to lose their first home court in the finals!"
Mike Bryn's commentary at this time is the most anxious part of the Heat fans.
The Heat may lose the first home court.
This year, the Heat won an incredible 66 wins in the regular season. But they never expected that a result of 66 wins would not have a home advantage in the finals.
Now, the Heat finally managed to survive for three consecutive home games, but started the game unfavorably.
Anderson got the rebound, and Link's mid-range shot was finally hit. But facing Link's miss, the Heat players did not feel lucky.
That number 0 has already won the triple-double data in such a devastating way. He just made a blacksmith once, so what can I be grateful for?
James personally controlled the ball and passed the half. There is no doubt that he is a little anxious now. The Heat are not only chasing points, but also chasing time.
In one minute, if each round is full, there will be no three rounds. In three rounds, the Heat only have two offensive rounds. Even if the Heat scored 4 points in these two rounds, it is not enough to recover the score.
What's more, this is the most ideal state. The fact is that the Heat cannot score 4 points every time, nor can they slowly look for opportunities to score 4 points.
After taking the baseline ball, James drove from the backcourt to the frontcourt with a one-stop, leaning against Link and forced a layup.
It seems that this is a very good and fast attack. But in fact, the impact of these 2 points on the situation is minimal.
James' shooting percentage was very high at critical moments, but when he was lagging behind by more than 6 points in the last minute, it was difficult for James's team to recover the score.
This is because James' shooting choice is different from most stars.
In this case, most stars will choose to shoot three-pointers, even if they are strong, they have to shoot. Therefore, the shooting rate is low, but there is really a possibility of a reversal.
In this case, James will choose to make a layup. Although the shooting percentage is high, 2 points and 2 points are really not enough to fill in the gap.
These two styles of play do not distinguish right from wrong, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, judging from the current situation, it is indeed not wise for James to choose to layup.
This time the Heat's offense was very fast, but the Grizzlies would not leave time for the Heat. After Conley got the bottom line ball, he was calmly leaning towards the frontcourt. The more time was wasted, the happier he became.
This situation is the most passive, and the Heat fans were extremely worried when they saw it. They were obviously their home court, but they were suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads.
Tactical foul? The five people on the Grizzlies' free throws were stable. Iguodala, who had the worst free throws, was already replaced by Nick Young early. Now, the Heat are facing a foul that is to give points, and there is not enough time to not foul.
In the end, the Heat chose to spend time with the Grizzlies until the end of this round.
Link received a pass from Conley when there were only 3 seconds left in 24 seconds of offense. Facing James' defense, Link used his killer move to cross-step and rushed to shoot in the mid-range shot.
This goal was extremely difficult. Although Link's emergency stop was very sudden, James was at least a member of the defensive team and interfered in time.
However, Link's shooting was not disrupted by James. Therefore, under this serious interference, Link's jump shot was still connected to the net with the red light shining on the rebound.
It is the most important thing to prevent a buzzer-beating person from being included! The Heat have spent time, but they still did not keep the score difference.
Link responded to the goal of James's front-end game when he first started. Isn't it a superstar? Who can't play it?
James shook his head secretly. He is the MVP this year, and Link is only 9 votes away. Judging from today's performance, the second place is not necessarily worse than the first place.
In the last 42 seconds of the game, the Heat were 12 points behind, and their defeat was decided! James and Wade were powerless to make the situation come true.
"Link's jump shot killed the game, there was no suspense. It was impossible to have a miracle after 12 points in 42 seconds. God may patronize the court in the last 35 seconds, but God will never interfere in the finals."
Mike Brynn sentenced the Heat to death without hesitation, and Link killed the game with his own hands!
After this goal, Link scored his 30th point in the game, 30 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, and Link's triple-double was so dazzling.
Mike Bolling then looked at the data sheet and found that the Grizzlies' data today is not that simple.
Link scored 30 points, Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, Iguodala scored 22 points, and Gasol scored 16 points. The Grizzlies' small lineup made their scores very even, and everyone could attack with the ball.
Mike Bryn finally calculated that the scores of the four of them added together and they were already 91 points!
The Grizzlies' firepower today is evident!
After Link scored that goal, Spoelstra used the last timeout in his hand.
The Heat fans suddenly stopped shouting and jumping. Some even covered their mouths and rosy their eyes.
Sure enough, after the suspension came back, both sides withdrew all the main forces, and the Heat raised the white flag!
"LeBron and Wade's performance today is not bad. They each scored 25 points. Moreover, the magical Ray Allen also scored 21 points today, making 4 of 5 three-pointers! However, maybe it is precisely because of this that the Heat fans are so sad."
Now, James finally realized the feeling of the Rockets, Clippers and Thunder when they faced the Grizzlies.
James realized the helplessness of being beaten up even though he tried his best but was still beaten to death.
The Grizzlies' offense was so good today, and Link's performance in playing the fourth position was also very good. A 30-point triple-double was an achievement that many players could not achieve in their entire career.
Wade was the most disappointed. He sat silently on the bench and did not look up for a long time. He did not dare to look up or look straight into the fans' eyes.
Miami Souls, today they were disappointed.
Wade had already prepared a lot of trash talks about Link after the game. Those exquisite trash talks were enough to leave a strong point in the history of NBA show-offs.
But now, he has no chance.
"Beep~" the electronic beep sounded, and the American Airlines center was dead.
120-105, the Miami Heat defeated the Grizzlies at their home court!
After the game, Wade stood up and turned his head to look at the Grizzlies' halftime.
Unexpectedly, Link turned his head and looked at him.
Link walked out of the bench and went to the center of the court. Before the game, he and Wade met face to face.
But this time, Wade did not step forward, but just looked at Link from a distance.
Link did not let him go because Wade didn't come up. He saw that Link wearing a No. 0 jersey made two fingers with his left hand and one finger with his right hand, and then he was yelling something.
The scene was too noisy, and Wade couldn't hear what Link was saying.
But it is not difficult to see from the lips that Link was shouting at Wade, "This is not your territory!"
Wade clenched his fists, which was the biggest provocation to him. But the anger was that he had no room for any response.
Losers are not worthy of speaking.
Just like Jordan is behind Malone, Barkley, Ewing, Olajuwon, and Isaiah Thomas. The success of every great star is inseparable from the defeat of some other great stars.
Wade didn't know whether he and LeBron would be the background that set off Link?
Wade didn't think much about it. He didn't want to convince himself. I hope this would not be the last impression he left on the league.
Wade left slowly, leaving only the Grizzlies players to celebrate on the court.
Chapter completed!
