792: Fight to the limit but still not enough (3rd update 4K)

LeBron. James ripped off his hairband and threw it aside, and people's first reaction was not to feel domineering, but to be startled by the old man's hairline......

I was used to seeing the image of James wearing a headband, and he suddenly took off the headband, which somewhat subverted the inherent impression of James in people's hearts.

James was actually a little flustered, and he threw away his headband in anger, not so much to shock his opponent as to cheer himself up.

He couldn't believe that Link still had the physical reserves after such a difficult game.

In addition to the coordination of a player's hands, a strong ability to stay in the air is also essential.

The ability to stay in the air requires sufficient physical reserves.

If you don't even have the strength to jump, what's the point of staying in the air?

So Link's hand-changing dunk just now proves that he still has plenty of energy. At least there is still a long way to go from the limit.

In James's expectations, Link should be weak now. So seeing that Link is still strong, James must have been shocked.

James had just received the baseline ball when he saw that Link in the other half was ready to defend.

He was like an impassable mountain, blocking James' path to victory.

"Link is okay, right?" Jogger turned his head to ask Seto, who was sitting behind the bench, with some concern.

He didn't know if Link was holding on or if he was really at ease. He didn't want Link to be on the injury list because he was too tired.

However, Seto had a smile on his face, "Don't worry, even if everyone in the room has a problem, Link will be fine." He's been recovering well for the other few days, so you don't have to worry. ”

Seto is well aware of Link's physical fitness and physical condition, and the 40°C heat is a piece of cake for him!

James slowly approached Link, with more than two minutes to go until the end of the third quarter. It is almost impossible to widen the score difference to double digits. Still, James wanted to extend the advantage until the end of the third quarter.

He had to stabilize his advantage first, and as for how to kill the game, he would figure it out later. At the very least, we have to keep the foundation of killing the game.

After seeing Link's power just now, James didn't dare to break through rashly. This time, he called for cover, hoping to use outside forces to contend with Link.

Bosh had a high quality of cover and completely blocked Link. Gasol tried to block, but the traverse speed was too slow, and James still passed past him.

James returned Link with a breakthrough layup, and the war between the two entered a white-hot stage!

"LeBron didn't dunk, he's conserving energy! Could it be that LeBron is now consuming more than Link? ”

Although James' goal was beautiful, Hubi. Brown still sees some clues.

Usually this kind of ball, James will definitely not waste the opportunity to dunk. But just now, he only chose to go to the basket lightly.

In addition to saving physical strength, Hubi. Brown really couldn't think of a second plausible explanation.

James wants to bring down Link? Old Hubby thinks that James may fall before Link!

"Don't hide it, LeBron. I know, you're no longer good. On the basketball court, Link saw that, too.

James's physical fitness is losing faster than himself, after all, he is a 30-year-old player, no matter how good his physical fitness is, he can't go against the natural laws of the human body.

James didn't answer, with a "I don't want to talk nonsense with you" expression.

But in fact, James's heart was panicked!

If Link sees that he has consumed a lot, he will definitely be caught by Link!

James now only hopes that the last two minutes or so will be over quickly, and if he doesn't catch his breath, his physical strength will really be exhausted.

And when Link passed half-time, James's worst fears came true.

In the time leading up to the third quarter, although Link was the Grizzlies' main scorer, he didn't ask for the ball unscrupulously. After all, if you rely on one person to attack every turn, even Link can't withstand it.

Therefore, throughout the third quarter, the Grizzlies were mainly focused on team offense. Link only stepped up for singles when the team couldn't open up the situation.

But now, Link just after halftime began to raise his hand at Conley for the ball. His desire to score is a lot higher than just now.

James hoped that he could use a rough and efficient single to defeat the exhausted Link, but he didn't expect Link to think the same way!

In an instant, James went from being a hunter to a prey.

Link held the ball and confronted James at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and the two were so close that Link could even feel the heat coming out of James.

Both Link and James were already sweating profusely, but Link's expression was noticeably more relaxed than James's.

James tensed his nerves, he now knew Link wasn't bluffing. That kid, the motivation is still abundant!

Link made a couple of triple threat steps, but James was unmoved. He's kept his distance very well, and whether Link wants to shoot or break through, he can react immediately.

Seeing this, Link chose to suddenly retreat and make a move!

James' positioning is indeed superb, he can radiate to Link's shooting on the spot, and he can also take care of Link's sudden forward stab.

But the step-back jumper can go around James's defensive range.

James didn't expect Link to choose to retreat in such a situation, so he took two big steps and pressed forward.

But just as James' center of gravity was all rushing forward, Link withdrew his shot and passed past James!

After James realizes that he was deceived by Link's feint of worshipping Buddha, it will be too late!

"Link deceived LeBron with a beautiful worship feint. He went straight into the box, Chris. Bosh rushed back to block it. But it's still a step slower, and Link directly slams it out! Good shot, today's personal 26th point, this dunk is simply the most positive response to LeBron! ”

Just now James chose to go to the basket after breaking through, and now Link ended the offense with a dunk without reservation. There is no doubt that this is a naked provocation!

Bosh watched Link hang from the basket, but couldn't do anything about it. He was also tired, and his return speed was nowhere near as fast as before.

And what about Link? His pace wasn't much different from the first half.

Off the court, seeing that Link could still complete a dunk, Dave. Joggle let out a big sigh.

"Now you're sure that Link has no problem with his fitness, right? Rest assured, I've thought about this situation for a long time. The unassuming Seto waved his hand, and no one in the entire NBA did a better job of keeping players healthy.

Two minutes later, James was completely suppressed by Link. On the offensive end, James' individual singles didn't work. On the defensive end, James allowed Link to score his 30th point before halftime!

In the last 2.8 seconds of the third quarter, seeing Link rushing with the ball, James even felt fear!

Thankfully, the sudden electronic beep relieved James' stress. The third quarter was over, and so was James' nightmare.

The sound of an electronic beep saved James' life.

At the end of the third quarter, the margin became 3 points.

But it's no longer the Heat who are leading, it's the Grizzlies. With this last-minute performance of 6 consecutive points, Link reversed the position of the two sides in one fell swoop.

When James walked off the court, he was already gasping for air. And what about Link? He raised his arms and enjoyed the worship of the fans.

"How long has Link been playing today!?" The first thing James did when he came off the field was to ask Spoelstra.

"There was only one minute break in the third quarter!" The Filipino coach replied solemnly.

The look of surprise on James' face was hard to hide, and he was still able to play such a performance after only one minute of rest in the third quarter in the 40°C heat.

What kind of monster the hell is he!?

It's not the first time James has been shocked by Link, but as the two get to know each other better, James thinks he knows Link very well and Link won't do anything beyond his imagination again.

But now, James finds himself wrong.

Does he really know Link? James shook his head, he didn't think anyone in this world really knew Link.

No one has an answer to how much power that guy has!

Whenever you think you know Link very well, he can do something that changes your imagination.

James has been upended countless times, and he didn't expect that until now, until they met in the Finals for the second year in a row, Link would still be able to surprise him.

"Don't let him lead you by the nose, LeBron. In the fourth quarter, there will definitely be problems with his fitness. When the time comes, it's our chance! Now it's just a stalemate with the grizzly bear, and we have to bite to the end! ”

Spoelstra seemed to see through James's doubts, so he hurried to make a plan.

He didn't believe that Link could output 48 minutes of continuous violence!

On the other side, Link receives Judy's muscle-relaxing massage during the intersectional break.

Judy said Link's muscle tension was manageable, and that his rest over the past few days allowed him to burst out with more strength today.

When Link and Joggle heard the news, they both felt reassured.

Then, they can give their all with peace of mind!

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies' strategy was very simple, replace offense with defense, continue to slow down the tempo, and continue to force Wade and James to play positional battles!

On the offensive end, he went all out to hit the basket. Create kills and make it difficult for the Heat!

After the start of the fourth quarter, no one saw Link on the court. Joggle decided to let Link rest first and then come on at the last minute.

It's a very conventional substitution strategy, but in the eyes of the Heat, it seems like a lifesaver.

In the few minutes that Link rested, the Heat hoped to pull the score away as soon as possible!

However, the Miami had yet to put together a decent offensive and Link was back on the court in the second minute of the fourth quarter.

Link didn't rest for too long, and he didn't need to rest for too long.

Two minutes, that's totally enough!

Both Spoelstra and James felt the pressure on their bodies increase, as if even the air around them was getting hotter.

Link is back at this time, and there is a possibility - he will play the next 10 minutes!

Link just walked from the bench onto the court and did nothing, which was already a huge psychological pressure on the hot.

It was the first time James had been distressed by the appearance of a player.

The fourth quarter of the game, in general, was about the same pace as the third quarter.

The Heat helped James open up space from beyond the three-point line, and James waited for an opportunity to play alone. Of course, in the fourth quarter, James, whose physical strength has further declined, has become less efficient offensively.

On the other hand, Link is still leading the Grizzlies steadily forward in this difficult time.

Teammates don't have a good hit percentage? Then create better opportunities! Teammates are prone to mistakes because they are too tired? Then shoulder the heavy responsibility of organizing the attack.

On the court, James and Link played back and forth, not giving in to each other.

By the second half of the fourth quarter, the matchup had become almost tragic.

Every time James fell to the ground, it took a long time to get back up.

And every time Link confronts James, it is also an ordeal for him.

It is true that Link's physical strength has not been exhausted, but not being exhausted does not mean that he is not tired.

It was definitely the toughest game Link has played since the playoffs began.

The margin has been hovering between 2 and 6 points, the Grizzlies have not been able to continue to widen the difference, and the Heat have not been able to close the gap.

With 2:48 left in the game, Link assists Nick. After Yang hit a three-point shot, he got a triple-double of 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists!

In the first game of the finals, Link hit a triple-double!

At the same time, this goal also gave the Grizzlies a crucial 4-point lead!

The 4-point advantage doesn't seem like much, but if it's really in the last 2 minutes, it's another story.

"Great Link! In the first game of the finals, he hit a triple-double! In the finals last season, Link averaged 32.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. So this year, I wouldn't be surprised if his stats were a little more exaggerated! "Hubby. Brown was accompanied by the shouts of Grizzlies fans, and his emotions also rose.

Next to Brown, Bill. Simmons didn't say a word, he just gritted his teeth, hoping that the Heat could complete the comeback!

In terms of statistics, James has only scored 28 points and 6 rebounds so far today, which is not comparable to Link at all. So, the only thing Simmons can hope for now is a win for the Heat.

James listened to the cheers around him and looked at the data on the big screen at the scene, only to realize that Link had already hit a triple-double.

Today, his stats are a far cry from Link's.

Panting, James clenched his fists tightly, and he knew that he could only save face if he won the match today!

So this attack, James played very tough. He doesn't have so many scruples anymore, what physical fitness, what body, at the moment is not as important as victory.

James leaned on Link to force a driving layup, and he hoped to settle the game in this simple and crude way at the end.

But James had barely taken up when he felt his calves twitch.

Losing his center of gravity, he fell to the ground before he could complete the layup, and then covered his head in pain with his calf.

Everyone in the audience gasped, they had never seen what James's "humanoid tank" was like when injured.

Link shook his head secretly, if he understood correctly, James was not a big problem, it should just be cramps.

His body was at its limit, and yet, he still couldn't win the race!

In the end, James was carried out directly by his teammates. He struggled to cramp and had no strength to get back up at all.

Seeing this scene, Bill. Simmons covered his head in frustration. He knows that the Heat and James have been completely defeated.

I tried my best, but I still couldn't change the attack. In the confrontation with Link, James was defeated in embarrassment!

Although the difference between the two sides is still very anxious now, after James fell, the game has basically lost its suspense.

Link wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that it didn't seem to be as hot all around.

Yes, they put out the "heat" completely!
