Four Hundred and Ninety-Four: Has He Gotten Faster?

According to James' previous experience, it would not be too difficult for him to guard Link. Just press all the way, maintain a strong confrontation, don't take fake moves, and everything will be fine.

Today, however, James failed at the first step. He didn't expect Link to be so fast, so fast that he didn't have time to press closely, and he was completely passed.

Not only James, but the entire Heat team's defense did not expect Link to pass James so easily. So that when Link broke through to the penalty area, Bosh and Haslem didn't have time to come back.

Easily, Link's wrist is flexible, and the basketball is hollow into the net! Spoelstra stood up nervously, he was still thinking just now that there should be no problem with defending Link with all his strength. This beautiful idea was ruthlessly broken by Link within a few minutes.

James and everyone else were also confused. According to the previous experience of the two sides, Link should not have been so fast.

"How's it going? Now we're 1-1. If you can't defend against me, you can also let Dwayne come." Link said to James after scoring and spread his hands.

James was so angry that the veins on his head were bulging. He seldom spoke trash to each other, but he finally opened his mouth today because he wanted to frustrate Link's spirit. Who knows, he has been slapped severely!

Heat No. 6 shook his head, he must have been too slow just now! Otherwise, Link couldn't have passed so easily.

"Dwyane, do you think that kid is getting faster?" In order to confirm his thoughts, James whispered in Wade's ear.

Wade just shook his head, and sometimes you can't tell if a player is getting faster just by looking at it.

"Probably not. Link has never been a player who is known for his speed."

"Well, that must be because I wasn't ready just now. Damn, he'll have to pay the price next time!"

James vowed to run to the front court, full of thoughts about defending Link.

attack? Not to mention Wade.

This time, Wade received the basketball in the bottom corner on the right. Seeing that Link was sticking himself tightly, Wade made a tentative step to the right, and then suddenly broke through to the left along the bottom line!

Wade isn't the fastest player in the league right now, but he's still not slow. Although every effort is made,

Wade felt like his knee was about to fall apart, but he didn't care. It is worth sacrificing the present as long as you can seize the moment.

Wade's tentative moves are real and start quite abruptly. With this trick, he can always ask for anything at the bottom line.

But this time, Wade found that he didn't get rid of Link completely. After about two or three steps, Link was next to Wade again, which surprised Wade.

how can that be possible! ?

But the arrows shot can't be turned back. If Wade stops the ball now, it will be beneficial to the Grizzlies.

So, "The Flash" took off for a layup without completely getting rid of Link. But before the body reached the highest point, the basketball was swept away by Link from behind!

The most aggressive guard in the active league was chased by Link.

"Beautiful cover, Link..." The on-site commentator was ready to cheer, and his emotions were brewing. But seeing his partner glaring at him, he was stunned to hold back the shouting that had reached his throat.

"It's a pity, Wade almost scored a goal. This goal was suspected of fouling, but the referee ignored it."

Commentators can change their commentary, but Wade has to bear the consequences of being blocked.

He knows that Link's defense is excellent, but with the absolute speed advantage, the role of defensive skills is very limited. You can't even catch up with others, and you have a lot to do with your defensive skills.

It is precisely because of this that Wade intends to use speed to deal with Link. However, this is the result!

At this time, Wade began to seriously think about the question James just raised, "Is that kid Link faster?"

The basketball that was fanned out by Link fell into the hands of Iguodala, and Iguodala broke through, and James had to make up for the defense. In the defensive fast break, it is definitely not possible to find a match, you must block the nearest person first. So, James was forced to stand in front of Iguodala.

Iguodala took the basketball and carried James to kill it. Compared with confrontation, Iguodala would not necessarily suffer from James.

But just after Iguodala rushed to the basket, he did not directly attack the frame, but threw it behind his head without looking back!

Iguodala didn't look back after passing the ball, but made a "hush" gesture to the Heat stands. James turned back, but the picture he saw was not very good.

I saw that Link reached the same height when the basketball flew to the highest point. He held the basketball lightly with one hand, and then violently pushed the ball into the box! James was standing under Link, but even for him, the ball was powerless.

"All-around dunks! After Link blocked Wade, he immediately made a dunk on the offensive end. His speed was very fast, and he ran through the entire court almost instantly! Wade has been chasing behind Link. , but in the end he didn't catch up. Iguodala started celebrating without looking back after passing the ball to Link. The cooperation between the two is undoubtedly a provocation for Wade and James!"

This time, the excitement in the narrator's heart could no longer be depressed. Even if this is in the American Airlines Center and the Heat's territory, the wonderful goal just now is enough to level the away disadvantage!

Link scored 4 points in a row and sent a block. He is the first player in the past 12 games who can turn the corner in front of James and Wade!

Although the game has just started, Link has only helped the Grizzlies lead by 2 points. But such a start is enough to help the Grizzlies stabilize on the road.

Watching Link and Iguodala, who celebrated the goal in advance, high-five each other, Wade and James looked at each other.

"Does it feel like he's getting faster?" James asked Wade a second time.

This time, "The Flash" didn't refute any more!

Because of chance, it is impossible to appear 3 times in a short time in a row.

"Come on guys, our 10-game winning streak dream in the last game was shattered again. Today, it's time for us to break someone else's winning streak record!" Link shouted in his own half after the dunk.

"Roar!" All the Grizzlies players shouted in response. At this time, their eyes were full of desire for victory.

Nothing inspires morale more than actual action.

So after the first quarter of the game, the Heat encountered the Grizzlies' ruthless defense. Link's performance in the first few rounds made his teammates more positive. James was unable to move an inch in the first quarter. Outside, he was about to encounter the death entanglement of Iguodala and Tony Allen. Inside, the black and white bears also made James suffer.

In the end, James made only 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter and only scored 3 points! Since James just said before the game, "I can score 100 points every night if I want to", his performance really made himself disgraced.

If it wasn't for Wade's fiery pitching in the first quarter and scored 8 points, the Heat would have been crippled in the first quarter.

24 to 18, the Grizzlies led by 6 points after the first quarter. And the Grizzlies actually let the Heat, who have been in full swing recently, not score 20 points in a single quarter, which surprised Spoelstra even more!

Sure enough, in some ways, the Grizzlies are even more dangerous than the Thunder and Spurs. The rise of Link and the defense of the Grizzlies are really a headache for the Heat.

But fortunately, the game is only played in the first quarter. The Heat still have enough time to change the situation.

Today is March 1. Before the game, Spoelstra and James were notified that they became the best coach and best player in February respectively.

The best of the two months combined, but not so easy to beat.

"LeBron, you play No. 4 in the fourth quarter and hold Randolph for me! Ray, I hope your crosshairs don't fall off." As soon as the players got off the court, Spoelstra made an adjustment.

After that, the Heat coach looked at Stevens opposite.

The defending champion will never give up easily! Rais Poelstra would never allow himself to lose to a rookie coach.

In some ways, Spoelstra and James have the same goals.
