Five Hundred and Ninety-Four: 3rd Grade Leaders
"Drip drip..."
The sound of the alarm clock rang in the room, but after about a second, the sound stopped abruptly.
Link quickly turned off the alarm because he hadn't slept at all.
Seven hours have passed since the fierce match ended. But as soon as Link closed his eyes, he could feel the cheers from the American Airlines Center beside his ears. Close your eyes, as if Ray Allen's shot was about to happen again.
Link couldn't sleep all night. As soon as I fell asleep, I was woken up immediately and kept repeating.
Ray Allen lore the game, this time, he completely saved the Miami Heat. This lore is one of the greatest lore in NBA Finals history.
Link still remembers that in the original history, Ray Allen also made a similar shot against the Spurs. But that goal didn't kill the game, it dragged the game into overtime.
But when it came to the Grizzlies, Ray Allen's key shot turned into a lore, and it was the most exciting buzzer-beater.
Indeed, in the last round, Link's defense against James was perfect. In the last round, Ray Allen's goal was not on Link.
But Link knew that, in the final analysis, it was because he hit two free throws and one at a critical moment. If that free throw can be grasped, even if Ray Allen makes another three-pointer, the Grizzlies will not lose.
The strong sense of self-blame made Link very tormented. He believed that he had not fulfilled the responsibilities of a leader. It was a good situation to be able to lead 3-1, but it was because the free throws at the best moment and the three-pointers at the last moment became the current 2-2 draw.
Next, the Heat must be a morale boost. Next, the two sides returned to the same starting line. Next, the ownership of the championship became confusing again.
The Grizzlies were about to touch the O'Brien Cup with one hand, but before they could touch it, they were slapped on the back of the hand by the Heat, and the hand shrank back.
"Link, why are you staring at the ceiling early in the morning?" Just when Link was thinking about it, he spoke to Randolph, who lived in Link's room.
Link turned his head, only to find that Randolph was staring at him with round eyes.
"Damn, you're perverted, don't say a word when you wake up, stare at a big man." Link waved his hand and sat up from the bed.
"You're a pervert. You don't sleep all night, staring at the ceiling all night. I said, are you still thinking about yesterday's loss?"
Link didn't answer, it was a default.
"Hey, to be honest, I didn't expect that. When James missed the shot, I almost jumped up. Who knows, one second is heaven, the next is hell. However, we still Didn't lose, did you? As a team leader, you can't surrender first, Link."
Randolph rarely speaks to Link so seriously, but every time he does, he speaks from the bottom of his heart.
Link was silent for a while after listening, then looked at Randolph and found that the guy was actually asleep again...
Link shook his head, and sure enough, it is difficult for a person like Randolph to be serious.
But you can't surrender first... Link can be considered to have listened.
An hour later, breakfast time. In the restaurant, most of the Grizzlies players were more frustrated, among them, Link and Jimmy Butler were the most obvious.
Link missed a key free throw, and Butler was the biggest backdrop for Ray Allen to complete the lore. After all, Ray Allen scored on Butler's head.
Iguodala saw the two people who were not in a high mood and leaned forward, "Hey, smile, it's not the end of the world yet. We still have three chances to play, two of which are at home, and we still have the upper hand. "
"Oh." Link and Butler replied feebly and casually.
Iguodala shook his head. Indeed, yesterday's loss was really demoralizing. After all, this is not as simple as a regular season. Ray Allen's shooting can be said to have reduced the probability of the Grizzlies winning the championship.
Moreover, Lin Ke clearly had the opportunity to stop all this, but failed to do so, it must be difficult to accept.
It's really not easy to get him to recover in such a short time.
But it is not easy and must be slowed down, because the finals are waiting for no one. Immediately, the battle of Tianwangshan will follow, and the Heat will not wait for Link to fully recover before playing the game.
So Iguodala sat next to Link with a dinner plate. As one of the Grizzlies' most senior players, Iguodala felt it was his responsibility to help Link out of the shadow of defeat.
"Link, you often say that losing is not one person's responsibility, it's everyone's responsibility. But in the end, you took the blame on yourself."
"But that's really my responsibility, Andre. That damn free throw, I fucking..."
"What if it's your responsibility? That's over! Don't you want to wait for the Heat to bring victory to you to comfort you? This is the fucking finals, and only the most talented people deserve to live to the end. It doesn't matter if you lose, if he knocks out your tooth, then you break his nose! If you lose a tooth and cover the wound, how can you fight back?"
Iguodala suddenly became emotional, and all eyes were on him and Link.
"I'm following you because I believe you're the type of person who will definitely fight back. I believe in what I can do with you. I had a lot of options last summer, but I ended up picking Memphis. Not because of Memphis. The environment is pleasant, not because of the simple folk customs there, nor because of the commercial value of Memphis! I chose Memphis because of you! Because of you, I decided to join this team! You are the leader of the team, Link . Anyone can surrender, but you alone cannot. True, it's unfair. But that's the power, the mission given to you."
After Iguodala finished speaking, he seemed to find that he had said a little too much, so he took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.
The hard-boiled egg in Link's hand has been completely crushed.
Can't surrender, he has heard this sentence for the second time today.
Link slowly peeled off the egg shell, and then said softly, "Thank you, Andre."
After that, everything went back to normal. Iguodala doesn't know if he's talking too much. It's not 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 took the championship as a sophomore, but he had a tough "Admiral" by his side.
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 that regard.
Compared with other stars who have won championships at a young age, Link needs to endure more pressure.
But Iguodala believes in his own vision, and he will not follow the wrong person.
In the afternoon, training continued as usual. Link's condition is not bad. In the training hall, his smiles and jokes gradually increased.
Link slept for a long time at noon, probably because he didn't sleep well last night.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Link continued to train without slack. Most importantly, he practiced his free throws. Keep throwing, keep throwing. The only thing he can do now is keep shooting.
Later in the day, a reporter walked into the Grizzlies' practice facility for an open-hour interview.
With Ray Allen's miraculous lore ahead, many reporters came to interview today. There is no doubt that Ray Allen's lore is full of topicality. The reporters have prepared a bunch of questions and are ready to continue to hype the next battle of Tianwangshan.
After the reporters came in, most of them immediately surrounded Link. Whether the Grizzlies win or lose, Link is certainly the most high-profile player.
Iguodala looked at Link, wondering how the guy would face this matter.
"Link, can you comment on Ray Allen's wonderful lore yesterday?"
"The total score of the series was forcibly tied 2-2. How are you feeling now?"
"With such a great shooter and two MVP-caliber players, do you think you have any hope of winning?"
The reporters were chattering non-stop, while Link was drinking water unhurriedly. His calm state was in stark contrast to the excited reporters.
Finally, Link put down the thermos cup and said softly, "Ray Allen's magic is none of my business, you are eager to hear his praise from me? Dreaming! I came to defeat him, not to praise him. His. The Heat should be thankful that they survived the last game, but this kind of thing will never happen a second time!"
The reporters were stunned. Judging from Link's state after his loss yesterday, they thought Link's psychological defense had collapsed. As everyone knows, Link is still the same, and no one agrees!
Not even a polite word!
Iguodala on the side smiled comfortably after hearing what Link said. This is the courage that a villain leader should have.
It seemed that Link was stronger than he thought. His third grade was destined to be different.
After that, Iguodala saw that Link secretly winked at himself.
Iguodala is gearing up, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, wait and see!
