In the first game of the finals, the Memphis Grizzlies who lost Iguodala won nearly double-digits in the Heat.

This undoubtedly surprised most fans and experts.

Originally people predicted that in the absence of Iguodala, the Grizzlies will become very passive. Even if they can win, they will be quite difficult.

However, the process and results of the competition surprised everyone.

In fact, the impact of Iguodala's absence in the first quarter was indeed very obvious. If the situation continued to be in the first quarter, the Heat would have a high probability of winning.

But no one expected that Jimmy Butler would come out in the middle of the second quarter!

Butler filled the vacancy left by Iguodala well, not only able to defend, but also help Link on the offensive end.

He scored 21 points in the first finals and limited Wade's score in the last three quarters to the lower score limit than in the first quarter. Jimmy Butler's psychological quality and ability are amazing.

This little guy who was selected at the end of the first round two years ago has been included in the range of "high potential rookies".

The Grizzlies took the temporary lead 1-0, and Memphis City was full of joy. That night, fans celebrated on the street until late at night before finally giving up, as if the Grizzlies had already won the championship.

Previously, Memphis fans didn't dare to think about what the Grizzlies would look like in the finals, let alone win the finals.

For them, although they have not won the championship yet, everything that happened that night is already a miracle!

Memphis team can also win in the finals!

However, LeBron James doesn't think that the Grizzlies can create miracles by winning one game.

In the series, especially the finals, a 1-0 score cannot explain anything at all.

Because the finals are 2-3-2 style, which is different from the 2-2-1-1-1 in the ordinary series.

A team with low ranking can get three consecutive home games after playing two away games! In this way, as long as the series does not reach the tiebreak, the team with high rankings cannot actually gain any home advantage!

Although there are rumors that the finals will be restructured soon and will become 2-2-1-1-1. But as long as it has not been changed, this is something that the Heat can use!

As long as you bite the Grizzlies in the next game, the total score will be 1-1. After three consecutive home games in the Heat, the Heat will be more beneficial!

NBA's previous finals were actually a 2-2-1-1-1 match system, but the finals have been restructured since 1985 and the 2-3-2 match system has been implemented. This approach is to avoid the fatigue of the journey. Between the sixth and seventh matches, players do not need to go back and run around.

However, with the increasing development of traffic, the impact in this aspect has been greatly reduced. Therefore, it was reported that the league was considering restoring the finals plug to 2-2-1-1-1 rumor.

Therefore, James is very clear that the Heat are likely to be the last team in NBA history to take the 2-3-2 game bonus. Since that is the case, you have to seize it!

In history, there are many examples of turning around in the finals due to the 2-3-2 competition system.

Not to mention the distance, just talk about the Heat's winning championship in 2006.

In the 2006 finals, the Heat once fell behind the Mavericks 0-2, but the Heat led by Wade then overturned 4 consecutive games and miraculously won the first championship in team history. Wade was like a god descending to earth, and his efficiency in the finals also surpassed Jordan and became the best in history.

However, in the four consecutive games, there are 3 consecutive games where the Heat are home games. It is definitely impossible to say that the Heat have not taken advantage of this.

This year, James decided to reappear the reversal of 2006!

While the whole world is worried about the Heat, the three Heat Big Three are ready to fight to the death.

As long as they can return to Miami with a score of 1 to 1, they will have the advantage. This advantage cannot be missed!

Since being injured by Ibaka in the Western Conference Finals, Iguodala finally returned to the training ground after the first game of the finals.

Although Iguodala will not be allowed to participate in the official game until the third game of the series, now it is now available to participate in the team's training.

Iguodala's return has greatly boosted everyone's morale. In the finals, there is no harm in having one more player to play.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Andre. When we fight at the American Airlines Center next time, you'll be on the court." Link was very happy to see Iguodala come back, and they agreed to decorate the dome of the Federal Express Arena together.

"Hahaha, I don't think I have to come back. Jimmy performed great in the last game, didn't he? Even though I was in that position yesterday, I might not be able to perform better than him." Iguodala looked at Butler with relief. He was not a player who loves to compete for fame and fortune, and he was even willing to accept the role of substitute.

If the team needs Iguodala to play a substitute for Jimmy Butler, he will accept it happily. Therefore, Iguodala did not regard Butler as a threat. Iguodala was very happy to see his teammates playing so well.

"Yes, Jimmy's performance yesterday was great. However, he was just a strange move, caught the Heat off guard. Jimmy has not yet fully grown up. He may be very amazing in the future, but not now. If the Heat have studied him thoroughly, you may have to save the situation." Link knew very well how much Butler was. This kid could be called a star, which was probably in the 2014-15 season.

Before this, Butler still had a lot to improve. He had shown his potential, but it also took time to exchange talents.

"I'm ready for the battle, Link. Come on, wait until Miami. Let's go get the match point together!" Iguodala was very confident. He had already agreed that the Grizzlies could win the game tomorrow night.

After all, this year's playoffs, the Grizzlies are still undefeated at home. Judging from the Heat's condition yesterday, it would be a fantasy if they could win at the Federal Express Arena.

Link nodded and won another game tonight. When Iguodala comes back and wins another game, the Grizzlies will get the match point!

In NBA history, no team can reverse the game when they are behind 0-3, even the Heat Big Three can't do it.

It seems that the Grizzlies are getting closer and closer to the day of making history.

The finals seem to be more smooth than the Western Conference Finals!

Like all Grizzlies players, Link is already looking forward to that historic moment.

Survival or death is the dilemma faced by the Heat. If you fall behind 0-2, even if the Heat have three consecutive home games, it will be quite difficult. Don’t people say that? If you fall behind 0-2 with the Grizzlies, it will be no different from the 0-3 of other teams.

Therefore, today's game was played by the Heat as the last game.

Before the game started, Wade and James were lying in the physiotherapy room and receiving massage. James' expression was calm, but Wade seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression was always very serious.

There is no doubt that he scored 9 points in a single quarter yesterday, but was defended by Butler in the whole game, and his performance of only 17 points was questioned by the media and fans.

James didn't say anything to comfort Wade because he knew that the strong man didn't need to comfort himself.

Wade has been suffering from injuries throughout the whole season and was unable to exert his strength in the early stages of the season. Although he recovered in the middle, he was injured again at the end of the regular season. That injury made it difficult for Wade to put all his strength into the finals.

However, the number 3 is already strong enough to walk with these knees until now. James believes that Wade is stronger than himself.

Wasn't it the same last year? In the third game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Wade was plagued by injury and made only 2 of 13 shots, 5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 turnovers, and the Heat lost 19 points!

After the game, public opinion exploded, and everyone accused Wade of his ability and questioned him.

Wade did not respond at all. With his personality, he would only keep all this in his heart.

Then, Wade regretted the whole world. In the fourth game, Wade scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. In the sixth game, Wade scored 41 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

Then, there was a classic comment from the Pacers coach Frank Vogel, "You still remember Derek Ross, right? Wade and James are two Ross, and they are taller and stronger. After the third game, the state they showed could not be defeated at all."

Then, when the Thunder tiebreaker helped them defeat the Grizzlies, the Heat players almost laughed out loud. In the end, in the finals, Wade and James finally realized their dream.

Isn’t the situation exactly the same as last year? Wade was questioned because of his injury, but James firmly believes that Wade will also make them regret it!

"Dwyne, we can't lose tonight." Finally, James and Wade said the first sentence.

"Of course, we can't lose." Wade smiled confidently. "I was once considered a top 3 player in the league, but gradually, people began to question my abilities. I need to use this championship to get them to re-recognize Dwyne Wade."

James guessed correctly, this is Wade's style.

Then, James saw Wade staring at his own knees and said slowly.

"Stand up, guys. Give me a good series, and I will give you a good summer."
Chapter completed!
