"Didi ......"

The sound of the alarm clock rang in the room, but it was only about a second before it stopped abruptly.

Link quickly turned off the alarm because he hadn't slept at all.

Seven hours had passed since the end of that intense game. But as soon as Link closes his eyes, he feels the cheers of the American Airlines Center all over his ears. Close your eyes as if thunder. Allen's shot will be played out again.

All night, Link couldn't sleep. As soon as I fell asleep, I was immediately woken up and kept repeating.

Thunder. Allen hit the game, and this time, he completely saved the Miami Heat. This stunner can be called one of the greatest stunts in the history of the NBA Finals.

Link remembers that in the original history, Ray . . Allen made a similar pitch against Spurs. But that goal didn't kill the game, it sent it to extra time.

But when it comes to the grizzly bear, Ray. Allen's key shot turned into a stunner, and it was still the most exciting whistle-blowing kill.

Indeed, in the final round, Link's defense against James was perfect. In the last round, Ray. Allen's goal responsibility is not on Link.

But Link knows that, in the final analysis, it is because he hit two free throws and one hit at a critical moment. If that free throw can be grasped, even if Ray. Allen hit another three-pointer, and the Grizzlies won't lose.

A strong sense of self-reproach afflicted Link, who felt that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a leader. Obviously, the good situation of being able to lead 3-1 was stunned because the free throws at the most moments and the three points at the last moment became a 2-2 draw.

Next, the Heat will definitely be a morale boost. Next, the two sides returned to the same starting line. Next, the ownership of the championship has become confusing again.

The Grizzlies were about to touch the O'Brien Cup with one hand, but before they could touch it, they were slapped the back of their hand by the Heat, and the hand just retracted.

"Link, why are you staring at the ceiling early in the morning?" While Link was thinking nonsense, he spoke to Randolph, who lived in the same room with Link.

Link turned his head, only to find that Randolph was staring at him, his eyes wide.

"Damn, you're perverted, you don't say a word when you wake up, staring at a big man." Link waved his hand and sat up from the bed.

"You're more perverted than a pervert, staying awake all night and staring at the ceiling all night. I said, are you still thinking about yesterday's loss? ”

Link didn't answer, and acquiesced.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect that to be the outcome. When James missed, I almost jumped. Who knows, one second heaven, the next second you will fall into hell. We haven't lost yet, though, have we? As the leader of the team, you can't surrender first, Link. ”

Randolph rarely spoke to Link so seriously, but every time he was serious, he said it from the bottom of his heart.

Link was silent for a while, then looked at Randolph and saw that the guy was asleep again......

Link shook his head, sure enough, it was difficult for a person like Randolph to get serious.

But you can't surrender first...... Link kind of listened.

An hour later, it's time for breakfast. In the restaurant, most of the Grizzlies players were more frustrated, among them, Link and Jimmy. Butler is most obvious.

Link missed a key free throw, while Butler missed a key free throw. The largest backdrop for Aaron to complete the lore. After all, that ball, Ray. Allen scored on Butler's head.

Iguodala saw the two who were not in a high mood and took the initiative to lean in, "Hey, smile, it's not the end of the world yet." We have three games to play, two of them at home, and we still have the upper hand. ”

"Oh." Link and Butler replied casually and weakly.

Iguodala shook her head, indeed, that kind of defeat yesterday was too demoralizing. It's not a regular season game after all, Ray. Allen's shooting can be said to have reduced the probability of the Grizzlies winning the championship.

Moreover, Link obviously had the opportunity to stop all this, but he didn't do it, which must be difficult to accept.

It was not easy for him to recover in such a quick time.

But it is not easy and must be relieved, because the finals are waiting for no one. Soon, the battle of Tianwang Mountain will follow, and the Heat will not wait for Link to fully recover before playing.

Iguodala sat down next to Link with a plate, and as one of the Grizzlies' most senior players, Iguodala felt it was his responsibility to help Link get out of the shadows of the loss.

"Link, you often say that losing is not the responsibility of one person, it is the responsibility of everyone. But in the end, you take all the responsibility on your shoulders. ”

"But that's my responsibility, Andre. That damn free throw, I fucking ....."

"What if it's your responsibility? That's in the past! Are you going to wait for the Heat to send you victory to comfort you? It's a grand final, and only the most talented people deserve to make it to the end! It doesn't matter if you lose, if he knocks out your teeth, then you break his nose! If you cover the wound after you knock out a tooth, where do you have the hands to fight back? ”

Iguodala suddenly became emotional, and all eyes were on him and Link.

"I'm willing to follow you because I believe you're the kind of person who will definitely fight back. I believe that I can do something with you. I had a lot of options last summer, but I ended up with Memphis. It's not because of how pleasant the environment is in Memphis, it's not because of the simplicity of the people, and it's not because of how much business value Memphis has! I chose Memphis because of you! It's because of you that I decided to join this team! You're the leader of the team, Link. Anyone can surrender, but you can't. Indeed, this is very unfair. But that's the power, the mission that has been given to you. ”

When Iguodala finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had talked a little too much, so she took a deep breath and calmed herself.

Link was holding a hard-boiled egg, the shell of which had been completely crushed.

Can't surrender, he's heard this phrase a second time today.

Link slowly peeled the shell of the egg, then said softly, "Thank you, Andre. ”

After that, everything went back to normal. Iguodala didn't know if he was saying something too heavy, and it wasn't easy for a third-year player to learn how to be a leader in the Finals.

Wade won the championship in his third year, but he had a huge shark behind him. Duncan won the championship in his sophomore year, but he had a tough "admiral" next to him.

What about Link? He does have good teammates around him. But even Iguodala himself has to admit that none of them can help Link in this regard.

Compared to other stars who won championships at a young age, Link had to put more pressure on him.

But Iguodala trusts his vision, and he can't follow the wrong person.

In the afternoon, training proceeded as usual. Link is in good shape, and in the training gym, his smiles and jokes are gradually increasing.

Link slept for a long time at noon, presumably because he didn't sleep well last night.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Link continued to train without slackening. Crucially, he worked on his free throws. Keep throwing, keep throwing. To make sure nothing goes wrong, the only thing he can do now is keep throwing.

Later in the evening, a reporter walked into the Grizzlies' training hall for an open-hour interview.

There is thunder. Aaron's miraculous lore is ahead, and there are a lot of reporters who came to interview today. There is no doubt that Ray. Aaron's lore is full of topicality. The reporters have prepared a bunch of questions, ready to continue hyping up the next battle of Tianwang Mountain.

As soon as the reporters entered, most of them immediately gathered around Link. Whether the Grizzlies win or lose, Link is certainly the most high-profile player.

Iguodala looked at Link, wondering how the guy was going to face it head-on.

"Link, can you comment on Ray. Aaron's brilliant lore yesterday? ”

"The series aggregate was forced to draw 2-2, how are you feeling right now?"

"Against such a great shooter and two MVP-caliber players, do you think you still have any hope of winning?"

The reporters chattered and Mr. Link drank unhurriedly, a calm state in stark contrast to the excited reporters.

Finally, Link put down the thermos cup and said softly, "Ray. Aaron's magic is my, and you crave to hear praise for him from me? Dream! I'm here to defeat him, not to praise him. The Heat should be glad that they escaped death in the last game, but this kind of thing will never happen a second time! ”

The reporters were stunned, judging from Link's state after losing yesterday, they thought that Link's psychological defense had collapsed. As everyone knows, Link is still the same, and no one is convinced!

Didn't even say a polite word!

Iguodala on the side smiled with relief after hearing what Link said, this is the courage that a villain leader should have.

It seems that Link is stronger than he imagined. His third grade was destined to be different.

Later, Iguodala saw Link secretly wink at him.

Iguodalamo fists up, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, wait to see it!
