491: Finals Preview

When Link returned to the locker room and saw the Heat defeat the Kings in double overtime at home and scored his 12th straight win.

Because of this fierce game, some memories in Link's mind and some memories about winning streaks.

For most Chinese fans, the most impressive winning streak of the NBA is naturally the Rockets' 22 consecutive wins.

Although McGrady and Yao Ming did not participate in all these 22 consecutive wins, they are still regarded as classic by Rockets fans and are a red memory that most people cannot erase.

The Heat's double overtime home win over the Kings reminded Link of another famous winning streak.

In the original history, the defending champion Miami Heat seemed to have set a record-breaking 27 consecutive wins in 2013... In 52 days, only one game lost, James extended the league's longest winning streak record to 27 games!

Perhaps many people have forgotten that the Heat has done this great thing that shocked the world and made ghosts and gods, but only when the string of memory is slightly tugged, they will immediately remember it.

"Link, why is it just a regular season game? Don't be so unhappy?" Randolph looked at Link with a dull look and went up to comfort him.

It's really a pity that I failed to win ten consecutive victories, but Randolph felt that the defeat in this game was not unacceptable.

However, Link was not staring dull because of the defeat in this game. Link suddenly sat in front of the closet because the opponent of the Grizzlies' next game was the Miami Heat, who was in the midst of 27 consecutive victories!

Now, the Heat have just accumulated 12 consecutive victories. Behind this, there are still 15 consecutive victories waiting for the Heat.

Standing at this crossroads that are enough to change the history of the alliance, Link was a little dazed.

In the past, Link changed history, which was also a change in details. For example, he changed the regular season rankings, changed the playoffs, etc. But this time, the historical event was a big historical event in front of Link!

The record of the second longest winning streak in the NBA, the record of the longest winning streak in the 21st century. Link didn't know whether this record would be continued in history or would be destroyed by himself!

If you win the next game, there will be no Heat's 27 consecutive victories in this world, and the league's second-longest winning streak will still be the 22 consecutive victories created by the Rockets.

When he thought of this, Link's eyes changed from dullness to expectation.

He was excited!

Being able to destroy the other party’s great record with your own hands is what the villain should do!

Although the league will have a great record, God knows whether the Grizzlies will replace the Heat in the future and create a new winning streak record

It is indeed exciting, but it is quite difficult.

After all, the Heat, which is between 27 consecutive wins, is quite difficult to play.

On the last day of February, the Grizzlies had no game. But even so, the Grizzlies players could not rest. Because at noon, Stevens planned to take everyone to Miami.

"Yes, go to Miami at noon. You know, this game is very important, so we need plenty of time to prepare. Don't worry, Miami is a city that claims to be summer all year round, and we won't be trapped in heavy snow anymore."

While calling Rachel, Link packed his luggage. He said it was luggage, but there was nothing to pack. Everything needed to play basketball is the team's equipment manager will equip you with.

It is enough for players to bring their own personal belongings. Link basically has nothing to bring except shoes and clothes. Unlike Nick Young and Randolph, he has to move the game consoles over to play away.

"You must hold on tomorrow's game, but don't be knocked down by James easily. His performance has been too strong recently. I think the whole world may be waiting to see you and him."

"Don't worry, I've played with him this season, I know what it means." Link smiled. Although the Grizzlies and the Heat only played once this season, they still played at the beginning of the season.

But in that game, Link scored his first triple-double of the season and won the ball, so Link was impressed.

"No, LeBron is now different from the beginning of the season, Link. You should know the record he broke a few days ago."

"Of course, of course I know his records." When Link heard the word "record", he became much more serious in an instant. Because what James did a few days ago was so fierce!

The first victory of the Heat's 12 consecutive wins is on February 4, 2013, when the Heat beat the Raptors 100-85 away. James scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 62.5%.

The second win was on February 5, 2013. The Heat defeated the Bobcats 99-94 at home. James made 13 of 14 shots, scoring 31 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, with a shooting percentage of up to an abnormal 92.9%!

The third win, on February 7, 2013, the Heat defeated the Rockets 114-108 at home. James scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 61.1%...

Until his 6th win, on February 13, 2013, the Heat beat the Trail Blazers 117 to 104 at home. James scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, with a shooting percentage of 73.3%.

What's special about the previous 6 consecutive wins is that James scored more than 30 in 6 consecutive games and his shooting percentage was more than 60%! He became the first person in history!

In the seventh game, in the game where the Heat defeated the Thunder 110-100 away, James scored 39 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 58.3%, only 2%. Even if James takes less, this record will be accumulated once more.

In 6 consecutive games, if you want to win, you have to score 30 points in each game and your shooting percentage is above 60%.

Even for Link now, this is too difficult!

Therefore, Rachel said that LeBron and James are different now. This invincible small forward has turned on the raging mode, reaping data in every game, and at the same time, he is also eyeing victory.

Perhaps, this will be the most powerful period of time for James during the regular season!

Link faces James in his best condition, it would be strange if Rachel is not worried!

However, Link's serious expression only showed a few seconds before it disappeared from his face.

He said to Rachel with confidence, "LeBron has become different, and we have also changed a lot. Whoever loses wins or loses is not necessarily."

In the afternoon, when I took the team bus to the airport, Link was originally sitting with Randolph.

But halfway through the car, Stevens walked towards Link and signaled Randolph to give way to himself, "Zach, can I say a few words to Link?"

Randolph looked at Stevens, then at his good brother next to him, and smiled honestly, "You can read him a whole Andersen fairy tale."

Link looked at Stevens in surprise. This was the first time he had encountered this situation after staying with the Grizzlies for three years.

"How did you feel like you had a good rest yesterday?" Stevens didn't talk about the ones that were not available, and asked Link about his physical condition as soon as he came up.

"Feel good, boss, you can fight anytime." Link knew that Stevens was not here to joke with him, so he didn't smile with him today.

"Well... In the next game, I need you to show 100% state. So, you must pay attention to rest in these two days and protect your body. You know, during this period, basically who dies next to whom, I don't want to die. So, you have to show 100% state so that you don't suffer James' losses."

"Of course, Brad, we haven't lost a row this season, and we won't be this time. But I'm very curious, why are you so interested in the showdown between me and LeBron."

Now, there are 0vs6 promotions outside, and everyone wants to see the second battle between Link and James. But isn’t Stevens the one who hates this kind of hype the most in history?

"Do you think I'm interested in the showdown between you and James. I'm not a fan. I don't care who plays against whom, and I don't care about the soap operas between the players. The only thing I care about is victory and leading the team to win. This is my job."

Stevens said, changing his tone, "This time the matchup with the Heat is different from usual. This is not as simple as an ordinary regular season. As we all know, the Heat are in a hot state now, and everyone is also full of morale. Wade, James and Bosh are also very healthy. In other words, this is the strongest period of the Heat during the regular season. This period of time is undoubtedly a matchup with them! And we, only in the finals, can meet the Heat. So, this is not just a regular season game, but."

The bus swayed and interrupted Stevens's speech. But Link didn't interrupt and listened quietly.

"This is not just a regular season game, but a real finals preview, Link! The Heat's current state is completely at the final level! Through this game, we can test how far we and the Heat can do. We can test whether the championship has anything to do with us! So, I need you to show 100% of the state and play tomorrow's ball as the finals! Now, do you understand what I mean?"

Before Link could answer, the bus arrived at the airport. Stevens hurriedly stood up and organized everyone to get off in an orderly manner.
