740: Before the Storm

Before the Heat and Grizzlies' all-time competition began, James just became the youngest 23,000-pointer in NBA history in the game against the Timberwolves, achieving a career milestone.

In this match against the Grizzlies, James only needs to score 11 points and the total score in a single season can exceed 2,000 points. If James really does, he will achieve the goal of breaking through 2,000 points in a single season for 9 consecutive seasons.

It has scored more than 9,000 points in nine consecutive seasons, which is an amazing achievement. In NBA history, only Carl Malone's 12 times and Jordan's 11 times were done more than James. As long as James scored 11 points in the next game, he can rise to third in history in this record.

James' continuous career milestone nights should have been widely reported by the media. However, in the face of the Grizzlies' 72 wins, few people mentioned these milestone records except for several local Miami media.

People only know that the Grizzlies may create the second 72-win legend in the next game. But no one knows that James has become the youngest 23,000-pointer, and James has almost exceeded 2,000 points in a single season for 9 consecutive seasons.

James should be the supporting role thoroughly.

Therefore, before the game began, James was filled with anger.

You can imagine that a superstar who has attracted much attention from high school has been suddenly suppressed by a no-draft after more than 10 years of rampant leagues. Anyone who is a normal person will feel angry and unwilling to accept it.

What's more, the undrafted draft even claimed to win a winning streak on him, which would be even more unbearable.

So, James has become serious today since he entered the Federal Express Arena.

Wade rarely sees James' attitude towards this season. A few days ago, they were even studying how to fight the Pacers. For the Heat, the regular season seems to have become a past tense. They have already focused most of their energy on the upcoming playoffs. As for the end of the Eastern Conference, they don't care.

But today, James was so serious before a regular season game. Wade knew that this game had surpassed the outcome for James and was about dignity!

Whether James' position as the "No. 1 player in the league" can be confirmed depends on the results of the Heat and the Grizzlies this season.

Wade walked into the player passage and found that the staff in the Federal Express Arena were busy as usual.

This group of people still don’t know how great a showdown they are about to witness, but Wade can foresee that once James is serious, it will be difficult to defeat. And Wade also knows the strength of Link.

James and Link are destined to fight to the end in this game, and this will definitely be a classic showdown.

Wade shrugged, and it was destined to be calm tonight.

"Link, you can deal with that guy LeBron tonight. You're right, we don't need to wait, we'll win 72 today!"

Randolph was very excited today, although he was not the protagonist of the game, although he was not the focus, and even knew he might not even be able to start.

But he was still excited.

When he first joined the Grizzlies, his wish was to help the Grizzlies revival, and to make this team that respects him truly strong and achieve mutual redemption.

Therefore, no one in the Grizzlies was more excited than Randolph. He didn't care about personal gains and losses, but simply hoped that the Grizzlies could stand on the top of the world.

According to the experience of the two sides' previous encounters, Randolph and James will suffer a great loss when they play against the fourth position. Every time they play against the Heat, Vogel must send a lineup of one, one, four, and four, to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, Randolph probably won't be able to get a starting opportunity today.

But this still couldn't stop his enthusiasm. He was like a rookie who played for the first time today. Even if he just sat on the bench, he would be in the fullest state.

"Please, Zach, you have the opportunity to deal with LeBron. It is everyone's credit for being able to play like this this season, and everyone is very important." Link smiled and wore equipment.

Compared with James, who is suffering and revenge, Link has a more relaxed mentality. Because even if he loses this game, the Grizzlies have nothing to regret. He can still win the 72 wins he deserves, and the history he should create can still be created.

So, Link actually has no psychological burden, just fight it well and it’s over!

"Me? I probably have to waving my towel off the court today. But that's okay, I can guarantee that you can see my wonderful dance steps every time you score!" Randolph said, twisting his fat ass.

"Come on, Zach, and you're a wonderful dance move. At most, you're a piece of twisting pork belly." Tony Allen played Randolph's joke, causing all the Grizzlies players in the locker room to laugh.

Vogel felt much more relieved when he looked at the smiling players. The team's atmosphere can ensure that each of them bursts out with the strongest combat power on the court.

Before the game started, Vogel arranged today's starting lineup. Sure enough, Zach Randolph was not listed. In order to deal with the Heat's first and fourth small teams, Vogel used Link to play power forward and used Tony Allen to start.

The players were not surprised by this. Before the game began, the Heat did send a lineup of one, one, four, and four.

Chalmos, Wade, Ray Allen, James and Bosh, this is the Heat's starting lineup today. They will use this lineup to resist the Grizzlies' 72-winning pace.

Before the game started today, James did not communicate with any Grizzlies players. Even Mike Miller, who played for the Heat last season, did not say hello to him.

It can be seen that James is not here to make friends today, he is here to win.

After this game, what James needs to remember is that he scored 2,000 for the ninth consecutive season, rather than the Grizzlies' 72 wins!

He wants to get the protagonist's position back!

The referee whistle sounded, and the most highly anticipated regular season before the playoffs officially started.

This time, Bosh rarely won the first attack from Gasol. From the first second of the game, Randolph stood excitedly on the sidelines and cheered his teammates.

Chalmos slowly controlled the ball and approached the Grizzlies' halftime, and Link found that the Heat's offensive rhythm today was unexpectedly slow.

However, whether it is fast or slow, the most threatening point of the Heat is James. Therefore, Link kept lingering James before he received the ball, preventing him from easily receiving the basketball from a comfortable position.

Others may have overlooked James' milestone night, but Link didn't. He knew very well how frustrating James was now, so Link didn't dare to be distracted at all. In this game, the Heat will definitely play as the finals!

James flexibly interspersed with running positions, but the Asian player wearing the No. 0 jersey behind him was like a shadow of James, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how he shook it.

The two men's fight has entered a white-hot stage since the first round, just like two track and field athletes who use 1,000 meters as 100 meters to run. As soon as the competition begins, they directly sprint.

Just when people thought that Link and James were going to play one-on-one in the first round, Chalmos passed the basketball to Lei Allen, who was at the right corner at some point.

Tony Allen had just gotten rid of Bosh's unball cover at this time, and he was still a distance away from Thunder Allen. The rest of the Grizzlies were all focused on James, and they didn't expect to make up for lightning protection. Allen.

Lei Allen steadily caught the basketball and seized this fleeting opportunity to take action decisively!

Tony Allen swiftly in front of him. Even if he was blocked by the unball cover just now, he tried hard to interfere with the opponent's shooting. If he was an ordinary player, or even some stars who were not as skilled in three-point shooting, he might be fooled by Tony Allen's desperate posture.

But Ray Allen, one of the best shooters in the league, wouldn't be so scared.

From the stands, Ray Allen was the one who took action against Tony Allen's defense. But only Tony Allen himself knew that he still gave Ray Allen a little space, a little space enough for the top shooter to find the star!

The basketball passed through Tony Allen's fingertips and drew a perfect rainbow arc, rolled up the ball net and fell to the ground.

Ray Allen made a three-pointer and took the lead for the Heat! The Heat refused to be the Grizzlies' background board. This is not only James' wish, but also the wish of the entire Heat team!

"Ray Allen felt hot today. He hit a three-pointer just as the game started. However, this is destined to be a protracted battle, and the Heat must continue to take the game carefully."

Like most people, Hubby Brown didn't care much about this three-pointer. It would be strange if Ray Allen didn't score a few three-pointers in a game.

But James curled up the corner of his mouth slightly after Ray Allen scored, and then slapped hard with him. The Heat's way to win today is a three-pointer! When the inside is not advantageous, the Heat hopes to make a big fuss with three-pointers.

Once the three-pointer is separated and the defense is pulled apart, James can also attack the basket unscrupulously.

Just now, Ray and Allen undoubtedly gave the Heat a good start today's strategy.

James likes his opponent's calm expression at this time, because before the storm comes, it is often very quiet.

And when the storm comes, it's too late!
