586: This is not your territory

"The Return of the Flash".

This is the day after the game, the title of the espn column news.

There is no doubt that Wade's performance of 32 points yesterday made the whole United States go crazy.

After being silent for so long, Wade finally became the brightest star on the field.

"Federal Express is not a place that any team can conquer. However, Wade did it. He taught Link and Jimmy Butler a lesson, and he let everyone see what the real championship level is."

"Wade's performance is very impressive, he is leading the Heat to fight back."

"The Grizzlies will face three consecutive away games. If they can't get through to the seventh game, the home advantage will not be reflected. What else can I say? Good luck to them."

Overnight, the situation completely reversed. When Wade and Bosh played like giants, no one thought the Heat would lose.

The Grizzlies lost their home games in the series for the first time since last season's playoffs, which is undoubtedly a major news.

What the Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant did not do, the Heat and Wade did.

This big victory of the Big Three, which scored 85 points in a combined victory further fulfilled James's words, "As long as I can unite closely, nothing can stop us."

Link felt very uncomfortable when he looked at these news. The expected next game was tied 3-0, but the result was that he tied 1-1 now.

But for the Grizzlies, they don’t have only bad news. For example, Iguodala, who had been resting for a long time, is finally back.

"Andre, we need you to play in the next game. How is your form?" On the training ground, Grizzlies defensive coach Dave Jogel has been observing Iguodala.

After all, Iguodala hasn't played in the finals for such a long time, so it's the first time in his career, so the coaching staff is still very concerned about his condition.

"I feel good, I can fight at any time with high intensity. It's just a sprain, Dave, it's nothing to do." Iguodala waved her hand, with an iconic friendly smile on her face.

"Don't worry, Andre has been hungry and thirsty for a long time." Link also joined the conversation between the two, and was full of confidence in Iguodala.

After all, in the original history, Iguodala was a man who had won FMVP. In the finals, Iguodala was never ruthless.

"Hehe, but then again, in the next game, I don't know how the coach will arrange the troops. Do you think we will play in a small lineup?" Iguodala stopped shooting and touched her chin.

In that game yesterday, the Grizzlies lost because they were not able to deal with the Heat's small lineup. In this era, many teams have begun to try to play in small lineups, but when facing the Grizzlies with black and white bears, most of the small lineups are asking for trouble.

But the Heat are different. James is very comfortable in playing the fourth position. His firm defensive attitude and excellent physical fitness make him not suffer any losses in the confrontation with the fourth position muscle man.

What's more, Randolph is not the real powerful fourth position. Most of the time, Randolph wins by skills.

The Heat's small lineup can be said to have completely restrained the Grizzlies' regular lineup. Once the pace is fast, the black and white bears cannot keep up, and the entire Grizzlies' system will be in chaos.

"No one knows whether the formation will change. Zach is of great use on the offensive end. Whether to remove Zach is indeed a very difficult choice. But that is not what you need to consider. What you need to consider is how to maintain your form. Come on, although it was a bit ugly in the last game. But soon, we will have a chance to take revenge."

Jogel patted the two of them on the shoulders and turned toward the head coach's office. Now, the coaching staff is discussing the lineup issue in a hot topic.

Link returned home early in the evening. During the finals, Link canceled all extra training plans.

To be honest, even if you practice until late at night every day, your improvement will not be too obvious. After all, it is a long process to achieve improvement. No one can become a superstar after working hard for a few days.

Therefore, instead of staying for extra training during the finals, it is better to have enough rest and keep your physical fitness in the official competition.

As soon as Link came home and fell on the sofa, his mind kept waving through the scenes of yesterday's game.

The smooth cooperation between James and Wade was staged again and again in Link's mind.

The Grizzlies couldn't defend themselves yesterday and their offense was not smooth. Randolph was completely lost. Although the Heat played in a small lineup, with such a fast pace and no advantage in the confrontation, Randolph could not gain any advantage even when facing a small lineup.

I have to say that small balls are really a trend. Even if the Grizzlies have two inside players, they will appear weak and powerless under this trend.

If the Heat know that they don’t have an advantage in the inside, they might as well just remove the inside without doing it. Who knows that the effect is actually quite good.

At this moment, Link's cell phone suddenly rang, scaring Link.

When a person is extremely focused on something, any slight disturbance is a disturbance to him.

Link picked up his phone and thought it was Rachel. But on the caller ID, it was Dave Joggel's name.

Link curled his lips. Jogel wouldn't ask him to do a new tactical exercise at night.

"Hey, Dave."

"Hello, Link, I hope you haven't disturbed your rest." Jogel matched very well. Although he was a coach, Dave Jogel was the kind of "players' coach". He had a good relationship with the players and often got along with everyone.

"Of course not, say it, Dave."

"Well, we just finished the tactical meeting and discussed a lot of plans. In the end, we decided. In the next game, you have to play the fourth position and go against LeBron. For you, this may be a brand new test, Link. I called and wanted to notify you of this, and I hope you are mentally prepared."

After receiving the notification from Jogel, Link found that he was not surprised at all.

In the small ball era, it was normal to go up to the fourth position. Link had not done such a thing under Hollins before. Of course, it was just once or twice.

"I understand, Dave. Don't worry, I can do it either in the fourth or third position." Link clenched his fists. At the American Airlines Center, the Grizzlies, which have always been very retro, are finally about to change?

What will the Grizzlies' small lineup look like? Can it work? These will directly determine the fate of the Grizzlies' finals.

※※※

Wade was in a much better mood today, with 32 points in a single game, and the Heat broke the Grizzlies' unbeaten myth of home court. There is no doubt that this made Wade proud.

The next three games will be held at the American Airlines Center in Miami. It is not impossible for the Heat to win three consecutive victories directly.

This summer, it is destined to be ruled by the Miami Heat.

So Wade posted a classic picture of him standing on the technical stage to celebrate his victory on his social media, and then accompanied the most classic sentence of his career, "This is my territory (this is my house), we won't lose."

But he never thought that he would receive a call from Kobe Bryant just a few minutes after he had just finished tweeting.

"How is the injury recovering?" Wade of course knows what Kobe is doing now. The scene of Kobe's tears falling on the locker room after the Achilles tendon rupture is still fresh in everyone's memory.

"Not really, Dwyne. This kind of injury is very difficult, you know." Kobe had nothing to hide. His relationship with Wade was pretty good in private.

"What? Are you going to wish me a championship in advance?" Wade hurriedly started talking. Now his mind is full of championships.

"I hope you can win the championship, but Link may not agree. This is also the reason why I called you. That kid just asked me for your phone number. I just wanted to ask, do you agree or not?" Kobe on the other end of the phone laughed.

"Link wants my phone number?" Wade also smiled. This guy was interesting, "Why do you want my phone number?"

"God knows what he is going to do, no one knows what the kid will do next."

"Give it to him, I want to leave a Link's private number. That guy is actually quite awesome. I've wanted to chat with him in private for a long time, really." Wade agreed to Kobe without thinking.

Five minutes after hanging up the phone, Wade received a text message from an unfamiliar number.

You can tell at a glance that it must have been sent by Link.

"American Airlines Center is not your territory, it is everyone's territory. After all, you have lost 10 games at home this season. By the way, tomorrow will be the 11th game."
