James scored 16 points in the first half, and after he made extra free throws in the second half, the score had reached 20 points.

As always, LeBron James carried the Heat's offensive banner. He helped the team again when the Heat were in the most difficult time.

Of course, he has long become the player with the most 2,000 points in his career in a single season besides Carl Malone and Jordan.

But now, few people will discuss James's record. Many people even don't know that James has broken the record. Because at this time, everyone's attention is on the 72 wins!

When the Grizzlies recovered, 72 wins were officially put on the agenda. Whether the Grizzlies can create history today depends on the last half of the game!

After James made a free throw, he narrowed the gap to only 3 points. It has to be said that the Heat's condition is really outstanding today. Randolph scored 19 points in a single quarter and failed to completely widen the score.

But the Grizzlies are not in a hurry. Randolph is not a game finisher, but Link is!

In the second quarter, the Heat sent out the traditional lineup of Chalmos, Wade, James, Haslem and Bosh, with two serious inside players. Now it is not the Grizzlies playing first, first, first, fourth, and second, but the Heat playing with the Grizzlies.

Therefore, the pace of the game will be greatly slowed down, and after the point of Ray Allen, the Heat's threat outside the three-point line will also plummet.

So even if James scored four points as soon as he came out, Link was not nervous. First of all, James couldn't play like this every round. Secondly, in the rhythm of the Grizzlies, Link was confident that he would widen the gap in one fell swoop!

The Grizzlies deliberately slow down their pace. Now the Heat is the Heat, not the Grizzlies themselves. The more anxious the team is, the more likely they make mistakes.

When Link received a pass from Conley from outside the three-point line, the Heat's defense was no longer as airtight as it was in the first half.

Once Link got the ball in the first half, he could instantly see at least three people ready to attack him!

But now, the Heat are forced to have to defend against man. With Randolph's killer at the low post, they completely nailed Haslem and Bosh.

Now, it's a game between Link and James.

Link lowered his center of gravity and quickly dribbled the ball with his left and right hands. James slowly retreated, a little nervous.

This preparation action...is Link's previous breakthrough method!

Is this guy going to change his breakthrough style again?

For a moment, James didn't know what to do. Should he completely abandon the sudden acceleration of Link, or should he keep his hands on preventing Link's double change?

After Link obtains a brand new breakthrough method, it does not mean that his previous breakthrough method will be completely abandoned.

To beat Durant and George, Link only needs to catch them off guard. But this time, since James is prepared, he will be unable to figure it out!

Just when James was still struggling, Link suddenly accelerated and was incredibly fast! His instant burst speed was not inferior to many defenders.

James immediately stepped back. He knew that there was no barrier behind him now, and Haslem and Bosh were too busy, but they didn't care about wiping their butts.

Now defending Link, you can only rely on yourself!

However, just as James retreated, Link, who had obviously started to speed, suddenly reduced his speed to 0 again, then retreated under his crotch and retreated outside the three-point line!

"Retreat! Link shook the space away, and he made a jump shot from outside the three-point line!"

James staggered. If he hadn't had his core strength excellent and had stabilized the center of gravity in time, the ball might have been knocked down!

What kind of terrible ability to stop and get up quickly? Can his body bear it?

James sighed and blocked Link's face. But unfortunately, Link was able to survive in the league by shooting. He started with shooting. Now that he has strong physical fitness, his shooting ability is still not weak!

"brush!"

As soon as James landed, he heard the sound of the Nets rolling. He was shot with a quick stop by Link and took a step!

"Beautiful, Link also returned LeBron with a three-pointer! Although it wasn't a four-pointer, it was already very exciting. Haha, this is Link's style, he will pay for his debts!"

Link's beautiful three-pointer allowed him to take over the game. At this time, Link had scored 18 points. Although it was not the highest in the game, and even 1 point less than Randolph. But everyone knows that this three-pointer is a signal that the Grizzlies began to move towards 72 wins!

James' heart was already in his throat. He didn't expect that he would fail in the first round of defending Link alone!

That guy's singles ability is indeed first-class in the league. Link seems to be able to master any method, any skill, or any style.

Both James and Link began to show their power, which made the fans even more restless. After the Heat played, Wade, who cut in, easily made a layup after receiving James' "bullet pass", narrowed the gap again.

Link was very pleased to see Wade cut and make a layup and score a goal.

This has nothing to do with the personal relationship between the two. Link is pleased because the Grizzlies' defense has indeed come into effect!

The Heat can start to walk to the basket instead of blindly pursuing three-pointers. This is a good signal, which shows that their three-point tactics are not as effective as they just now. This indicates that the situation of attacking and attacking is about to pass, and the Heat will not get good results on both ends of the offense and defense.

The 4-point difference hangs over the Heat players. Although the score difference is not big, it makes everyone breathless.

James is nervous every time he defends, and even against Durant's scoring champion in the Finals two years ago, James has never been so tired.

Durant was mainly good at that time. Sometimes even if you know what he wanted to do, you could not stop him from scoring. Even if the interference was up, it might not be high enough. But no matter what, you can roughly predict Durant's trajectory. His offensive behavior will most likely not exceed expectations.

Link and Durant are completely different. Facing Link, you don’t know what Link will do next time! So, when defending Link, you are in a state of tension at all times.

This time, Link did not hold the ball, but slowly turned around on the right side of the court. James couldn't predict what Link was going to do. Should he cut out and catch the ball? Or cut in and catch the dunk?

The worst thing is that no matter which of these two options, Link is very good at it!

In the end, since Link had no external incision or internal incision, he suddenly leaned on James!

James hates his opponent's back-on attack. That summer in 2011, he was shady by Nowitzki.

Link caught the basketball with one hand, without any extra moves, turned left and prepared to shoot!

James had to force him up, and Link's shooting threat was too great. Give him any space, the score difference could be widened.

But James had just taken a step forward, but Link suddenly turned in the opposite direction. He passed through James with a "swoosh" and entered the penalty area! His ability to seize the opportunity was no less than any top scorer.

James had no time to react at the moment when Link broke through. He now knew why George was stunned by Link like a wooden stake.

The breakthrough after the fake turnaround allowed Link to easily surpass James half of his position.

Spolstra was sweating all over his head. He had coached James for several years. However, this was the first time he had seen James so embarrassed on the defensive end.

After Link broke through to the penalty area, Haslem came to block it. But Link, who had taken off the air, flashed sideways in the air, and then slid over Haslem and dunked with one hand!

Link scored 5 points in a row! When the Heat could only relied on one-on-one to curb Link, Link's attack instantly became smooth!

After this goal, Link's score was on par with James. He came from behind and became the player with the most points in the Grizzlies.

"Link was completely liberated, and his smooth attack is back! Open your eyes wide, every goal that Link scores now is laying the foundation for the last 72 wins!"

Before the game started, James thought he had studied Link thoroughly and he should be able to stabilize the situation on the defensive end.

But today, James suddenly realized.

That guy Link is impossible to be thoroughly studied. He updates his arsenal faster than you can adapt to him!

They did not score another goal in the Heat's third offense. This time, after James broke through, he encountered Gasol's tough block. The Heat's three-point threat decreased, and the Grizzlies could defend themselves at the basket!

In the first half, Link would encounter a pincer attack once he broke through. Now, James has been experiencing this feeling.

The Grizzlies' defense began to return to normal, and when they began to stabilize their defense again, it indicates that the score gap is about to be widened!

Conley made a big shot this time. He stared at Link, but actually gave the ball to Gasol, who cut into the basket.

Seeing Gasol breaking through Bosh's defense, James hurried back to the penalty area! Now the gap has become 6 points, and James knows that he can't let the Grizzlies score anymore!

However, Gasol, who broke into the inside, did not make a layup, but instead used an incredible pass from behind without watching the ball, and sent the ball to Link outside the three-point line!

As a big man with a height of 2.16 meters, he actually used the defender's pass, and everyone in the game was shocked, including James!

However, Link was prepared for this. He knew that Gasol was one of the big men with the strongest support ability in the entire league! This kind of pass was a piece of cake for Gasol.

When Link received the basketball, he had no defensive players in front of him, and he was completely emptied.

When the star of a team is completely empty, it can be seen how big the loopholes his opponent has appeared on the defensive end.

The Heat's defense is now completely disrupted. Not only can they not defend against Randolph, they even began to lose Link.

James simply gave up chasing back because he knew that even if he rushed over, it would be useless. This time he lost completely!

Therefore, the Heat players could only watch Link jump shot from outside the three-point line. For some players, a complete large open space will put them in more pressure, which will eventually lead to a missed shot.

But this kind of thing will definitely not happen to Link.

The basketball was hollowed out and Link did not waste Gasol's wonderful pass. The Grizzlies did not widen the score difference to 8 points, but directly widened to 9 points!

Link scored 8 points in the first half, and every time he scored, he played James with him!

After scoring the goal, Link yelled to the stands sideways, and instantly, all the fans in the Federal Express Arena stood up.

Link just shouted at the stands a number, but the number "72" was enough to make everyone excited!

James silently picked up the basketball. This was the first time he was so frustrated on the defensive end since 2011.

But in 2011, he and Nowitzki were misplaced, and it was understandable that he was defeated. But this time, he and Link had no misplaced relationship at all... They were easily defeated for three consecutive rounds, which will make James unforgettable.

After losing the support of his teammates and the system, the great LeBron James seems inevitably to repeat the tragedy of Durant and Paul George.
Chapter completed!
