Three Hundred and Ninety-Five: The Strength of the Defending Champion

For this game, most people feel that there will only be two situations. Either the scores of the two sides rose alternately fiercely, or the Heat broke out and defeated the Grizzlies in one fell swoop.

But the Grizzlies stopped the Heat 8-0 in the opening game? This is indeed beyond most people's expectations.

After James walked off the court, he immediately asked for a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although the game has only played a few rounds, James has already felt the intensity of the Grizzlies. Looking at the entire league, the Grizzlies can be regarded as one of the toughest teams to play!

Whether it's facing Iguodala or Link, it's not an easy job. Normally, most teams can't put too much pressure on Wade and James at the same time. But the Memphis Grizzlies, with their powerful wing defense chain, did it.

Now the team is 0 to 8 behind, and James and Wade have also adapted to the Grizzlies' defensive intensity. The two looked at each other, then nodded slightly.

It's time to get the game back on track.

"Break through, break through resolutely and create damage! I know that the existence of the Grizzlies' black and white bears makes it extremely difficult to attack in the penalty area. But if we want to get out of the predicament, we must face up to the difficulties, understand!?" Poelstra's roar reached the ears of all Heat players. They are the defending champions, and they will not be weak enough to be completely knocked down by a wave of 8-0.

"Listen, adjust your mentality! I want to say that being behind 0 to 8 is not an exaggerated number! As long as we work together, it is not difficult to reverse the score. Let's work hard and give the Grizzlies some color!"

"Roar!"

After playing, James made another short speech. In an instant, the morale of the Heat was raised.

This time, when the Heat players approached the Grizzlies defense again, Link seemed to have a scorching feeling.

James deserves to be a natural leader, he made the Heat heat up!

Both Link and Iguodala cling to their matchups, and those two guys are, after all, two of the most dangerous men on the Heat. But Chalmers did not pass the ball to Wade or James, but handed the ball to Bosh, who wanted the ball in the middle distance.

As soon as Bosh received the ball, Wade, who had been strolling in the garden, suddenly walked past Link! Link had to admit that he didn't react right away!

After the cut, Wade received a support pass from Bosh. At this time, Gasol had been pulled to the middle distance, and there was no heavy center guarding the basket! Wade then took two big steps, and in front of Link who was chasing him, he smashed and dunked vigorously with one hand!

"Boom!" Link was shocked when he saw Wade's dunk.

This is the strength of a superstar! Even if the knee is bad, even if the team is passive 0-8, they will always find a way to move back to the disadvantage!

Wade dunked the ball as soon as he said it, which made Link extremely amazed. This is still a Wade whose knees have become riddled with holes. If it is Wade at his peak, it would be so incomprehensible.

If it is said that James' shout just now is just fueling. That Wade's dunk is an ignition!

After Wade's dunk lands, the hearts of all Heat players will become extremely hot. Now, the defending champion is very bloodthirsty!

"The Grizzlies must be steady. If the Heat can be defeated so easily, they would not have won the championship last season. Therefore, the opponent's counterattack must be very violent! Let's see, this time the offense, What the hell is going to get in the way of the Grizzlies."

After the Heat were completely ignited, James became more rough on the defensive end. He always gives Link physical contact intentionally or unintentionally, disrupting Link's offensive rhythm. Link couldn't run out of space for a long time, so Conley had to let Gasol continue to play inside.

However, Bosh is also a scrappy guy. As a player who was once selected to the best defensive second team, although Bosh's defense has been criticized in the past two years, his actual level is definitely above the passing line.

Gasol singled Bosh back, and finally turned around and hooked. It's a pity that the Spaniard has never been a scorer, and his hook doesn't hit the target every time.

For the second time in a row, the Miami Heat successfully defended against the Grizzlies' offense! Link gritted his teeth unwillingly. This round, James couldn't even catch the ball. He was too passive!

The Heat's footsteps still did not stop. In the next attack, James used the cover to break through just like before. Gasol immediately rushed to the basket, ready to continue to block James.

But James didn't throw himself into the net this time. He suddenly pulled up an emergency stop jumper in the middle distance and caught the Grizzlies by surprise.

James' shooting stability has always been very poor, but to be honest, a star of this level actually has no fatal flaws at all.

James' shooting is indeed a bit less efficient than his ability to break through and finish, but it's not completely impossible.

This time, with an emergency stop jumper, James hit the ball steadily when Iguodala's reaction was half a beat slower!

The score instantly became 4 to 8, and the Grizzlies failed to maintain their advantage as usual.

In the previous five games, as long as the score was opened by the Grizzlies, their opponents would basically start to be exhausted. Because of the solid defense of the Grizzlies, it is difficult for the opponent to play an offensive climax.

But this time, the Heat broke this law. They proved with facts that even the Grizzlies cannot make it to the end every time!

After the next ball, Link cut to the basket to catch the ball for a layup, but under James' strong block, Link's layup in the air was directly deformed. There is no doubt that basketball is naturally impossible to hit.

As far as Link's confrontation ability is concerned, he has no advantage over James. No wonder he was completely crushed by James in the first year.

The Heat got another chance to close the score. This time, James directly controlled the ball himself. In the critical round, James wanted to carry the banner.

James still calls his teammates to come up for the pick-and-roll, but this time, it's not Haslem who comes up for the pick-and-roll, but Bosh!

After James broke through, Bosh did not follow along, but bounced outside the three-point line!

Due to James' performance just now, Gasol finally decided to block James with Iguodala, and Bosh was abandoned beyond the three-point line!

James' thinking was very clear. Seeing that Gasol was also at his side, James directly ignored him and made a back pass, and decisively sent the ball to Bosh, who was unmarked beyond the three-point line!

Link saw Bosh's emptiness, but he was too far away from Bosh. Therefore, he could only remind his teammates by shouting.

But it was too late, Bosh was waiting for this opportunity, how could he let it go easily! Outside the three-point line, Bosh held high and played calmly!

Since moving to the Heat, Bosh has sacrificed a lot for tactics. For example, his style of play began to lean towards the outside, and his offense began to focus on shooting, reducing singles at the basket. As a position four, he also has to often challenge the opponent's muscular man at position five.

Therefore, Bosh has long been accustomed to the offensive rhythm of catching and shooting outside. The arc of basketball is high, and it seems that big players shoot from high arcs.

When the basketball reached the apex, Link was already sighing. He could see that if the arc machine continued to fly, the basketball would definitely fall into the net!

"Swipe!" Sure enough, the next second, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and Chris Bosh raised his arm high, showing three fingers.

With a three-pointer, the Miami Heat narrowed the point difference to 1 point! Relying on their strong will and ability, the defending champions broke the Grizzlies' idea of ​​opening the score in waves.

At this point, Stevens also called a timeout. The Heat have already gained momentum, and they cannot be allowed to continue to be so crazy.

At the same time, Stevens is also wondering whether it is time to make some personnel changes and adjustments.

Thus, Stevens' eyes fell on Nick Young who was high-fiving the players one by one.

Sometimes, what changes the situation doesn't necessarily have to be the core players...
