"Arrogant, too arrogant, I've never seen such an arrogant person when I'm so big!"

On the commentary stage, the well-known Cleveland commentator Fred . MacLeod shouted indignantly. Before the game even started, he seemed to be getting extremely excited.

"Before the Christmas game was over, Link started awarding championship belts to his teammates? This act of celebrating victory in advance is so arrogant! ”

"From start to finish, I don't see any point where Link has taken the Cleveland Cavaliers seriously! Seriously, this kind of disrespectful guy is a real joke if he wins in the end! ”

In fact, Fred. MacLeod was not prejudiced against Link.

But Link's pre-match performance really annoyed everyone who supported the Cavaliers.

He first said that what to give at Christmas is more of a headache than the Christmas war.

And before today's game, before the start of today's game, before defeating the Cavaliers, Link took the lead in awarding championship belts to his teammates, as if the Cavaliers were a formidable opponent completely non-existent.

These two actions made Cleveland fans feel that they were being slighted.

Fred. Next to MacLeod, Reggie, who already knows Link very well. Miller smiled and shook his head.

"In this world, some people want to be national idols, some people want to be world enemies, and Link is more than happy to play the latter. Your performance right now is exactly what Link wants to see. He's just going to provoke his opponents, and he just likes to do that. ”

Miller doesn't think Link would take the Cavaliers lightly, in fact, Link has never taken any opponent lightly in all the years of his career.

Whether it's the league's No. 1 or the league's bottom-to-bottom, Link has played hard every game.

He simply likes to provoke his opponents, so he often does things that make them angry.

Why Reggie. What does Miller know so well? Because he was such a bastard back then.

"Anyway, the Cavaliers are going to make Link feel Cleveland's wrath! The Cavaliers have recently beaten two strong opponents in a row, the Bucks and the Rockets, and they are in good shape. I'm sure LeBron wouldn't mind taking the Grizzlies any more. I bet the Grizzlies and Link are the opponents that LeBron wants to beat the most! ”

As McLeod spoke, players from both sides came out to warm up.

When James led the team to play, the entire Quick Loan Center arena seemed to shake.

They wanted to cheer up the knight with this deafening shout, and they hoped that the sound would terrify the grizzly bear.

However, Link only feels excited now. This kind of atmosphere is worthy of the title of the Christmas War and the previous series of hype!

Before the game, during an interview on the sidelines, reporters mentioned to James that Link was awarding the gold to his teammates in the locker room.

James didn't care much about this, "It doesn't matter to me what Christmas gifts he gives to his teammates, the gold belt he awarded himself doesn't mean anything." My team and I are ready to try to get them back to Memphis with the loss! ”

James was full of anger today, and he really treated this game as a Finals.

It was believed that getting serious about "Full Strength Zhan" would make Link put away his pride and contempt.

Soon, the starters of both teams were also in place.

The Grizzlies switched back to their previous twin-tower lineup, and the Cavaliers also sent Irving, . Smith, James, Love, and Tristan. Thompson's starting five.

It is not difficult to see from the starters of both sides that today's matchup will definitely not turn into an offensive battle like the previous game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.

In this game, both sides will play a balanced attack and defense until the end. Every time both teams score, it will be extremely difficult. As a result, the process can also become very intense.

Before the game, James even hugged his good brother Wade, and he was not smiling at all.

Up? Let's save it until the knight wins!

"A few days ago, Link had just lost to Isaiah, who was only 1.75 meters tall. Thomas. I said that a knight is ten times more dangerous than Thomas Jr.! Link, get a taste of the Cleveland wrath! ”

With McLeod's passionate shouts, the game begins.

Gasol fought for the first possession, and Conley slowly leaned in on the ball.

James put a close grip on Link as soon as he came up, and the old man didn't seem to intend to leave even the slightest gap for Link.

Although he is already a "thirty-year-old man", James's strength is not at all discounted compared to that year.

Entangled by James, Link is very passive.

The Grizzlies' offense also hit Jokic, who seems to be hoping that he can hit Love hard in the low post.

However, James' tenacity has spread to every Cavaliers player today.

As soon as he was in the locker room, James had already expressed his determination to win.

As he led his teammates out of the locker room, James shouted, "Defeat or championship!?" ”

Naturally, the response he received was also very tough, "Champion! ”

When a regular season game is tied to a championship, no one is going to get distracted during the game.

Love struggled to carry it, and Jokic's power was definitely stronger than he saw on his non-threatening appearance.

But Love just doesn't move an inch, and he's one of the most important players for the Cavaliers!

Love's aggressive defense paid off, and Jokic's turnaround hook was eventually interfered with by Love, failed to hit, and the Cavaliers counterattacked!

"See? This is the Cleveland Cavaliers today! They were truly combat-ready, and the Grizzlies didn't even know what they were about to face. ”

In a flash of lightning, James had already rushed into the Grizzlies half with the ball. Link is stuck next to James, and he is confident that he can stop this "humanoid tank".

But James burst halfway through and made a back-to-back pass in the middle of the march that sent the ball to Irving.

Irving received the basketball, and in the face of Conley's tight defense, he suddenly changed the rhythm of the dribble, pulled the ball behind him, and then successfully passed with a beautiful turn!

After getting rid of Conley, Irving drove straight into the basket and made a smart layup.

“Yes！ The Cavaliers scored first, from the link between LeBron and Irving. Irving is also in the top 10 scoring charts this season, and the Grizzlies can't afford to ignore his presence. ”

McLeod shook his fist proudly, Irving is very different from the young kid who played the Finals for the first time two years ago!

"Well done Kelly, keep it up!" James encouraged Owen with his mellow voice.

Owen also nodded silently and thanked James for his pass.

The interaction between James and Irving reminded Link of the Grizzlies themselves.

Yes, this good team atmosphere is exactly the same as that of the Grizzlies!

Such a team is often the most difficult to beat.

Jokic ran over to serve the ball in frustration, and it was clear that he was concerned about his miss. If it hadn't been for the miss, the Cavaliers wouldn't have gotten a chance to fight back.

"Don't worry Nikolai, the game has just begun, I'm sure you'll do a great job, let's go! If this were a boxing match, we would have just been punched. Now what we have to do is not to surrender, but to return with a heavier punch! Now that we've got the championship belts, we've got to take the victory with us! ”

Link patted Jokic on the back and the Serb looked like he was regaining his fighting spirits.

The Grizzlies' offense followed, and people were still reminiscing about the wonderful cooperation between James and Irving just now, and the Grizzlies' offense came up.

In this game, the fans will not get any respite!

This time, Link struggled to get rid of James and pick up the basket from beyond the three-point line.

Link had just gotten ready in the high post when Jokic's cover came up.

So Link immediately moved under cover, and seeing that James was delayed by Jokic, Love had to make up for it.

At this moment, Link, who suddenly reached the middle distance, suddenly paused, and then passed the ball out of the crotch of James who was coming!

Once again, fans won't be surprised to see Link deliver a clever pass from under his opponent's crotch.

This kind of fancy maneuver is just a routine operation for Link.

James immediately turned his gun and lunged at Jokic, who of course knew he was a three-point threat. But the reason why he dared to wrap it up was because he bet that Jokic would be nervous under his own interference.

It's a Christmas fight, it's a rehearsal for the finals! Jokic is a little ghost who will inevitably feel nervous.

What's more, Jokic has already missed once just now, and now his psychological pressure must be even greater.

If it was Jokic last season, he might really be scared by the vicious James and dare not make a shot, or he will not make a three-way shot.

But Jokic now is very different from before. What's more, it was after getting Link's encouragement.

It's not just the Cavaliers players who have matured in their mentality.

In the face of James, who rushed towards him, Jokic's shooting movements were still very smooth.

He calmly made his move, as if James was a cloud of air.

This fluid shot was exchanged for a hollow goal with an extremely high arc.

Nikolai. Jokic hit a three-pointer, Link and he also colored!

"I have a reliable partner by my side, LeBron."

After Jokic's goal, Link smiled at James.

And the cheers of the fans at the scene were immediately cut off by most of them. As it turns out, the game against the Grizzlies will never be easy.

They are a beast, and when attacked, they will not be afraid, but will fight back with even deadlier blows!

At the beginning of the game, Link and James each provided a beautiful assist.

James is not discouraged, he has long been ready for a tug-of-war with Link.

This match will be a fierce grappling. Those who say Link doesn't value this game just don't know him well enough.

James waved his hand and motioned for his teammates to re-attack.

Link and James are like two generals, leading their soldiers into battle.

Who is the true greatest star and leader of our time?

The answer is getting closer.
