Before the game began, most fans around the world were waiting to see Link's jokes.

Everyone believes that in the face of LeBron James, Link, who did not prepare for the battle seriously, would definitely be beaten to pieces.

At this time, besides the fans in China and Tennessee, Kobe, who was recuperating at home early, was probably full of expectations for Link.

Because he knew Link, he knew that Link would not be lazy in training. So yesterday, Kobe called Seto and asked about Link's situation.

As expected, as Kobe imagined, Link didn't seem to work so hard because he was protected.

That being the case, Link should be in a very good health today.

His performance cannot be bad!

The referee stepped into the central circle and signaled the players of both sides to prepare. Link looked at the Heat's starting lineup, and there was another change compared to the past.

This time, the five starting tigers of the Heat are Chalmos, Wade, James, Lewis and Bosh.

The main change is Lewis. He did not get many starting opportunities in the regular season, but he occupied the fourth position of the starting position since the Eastern Conference Finals.

Lewis's goal is very clear when he plays the fourth position.

First of all, it is naturally to open up the space. Although Lewis is no longer as brave as he was, his three-point shooting percentage of 37.3% in the playoffs is also above the level. Occasionally, Lewis can also stage an 18-point burst.

Secondly, letting Lewis top the fourth position undoubtedly greatly reduce James' consumption.

Although Lewis has been in the third position most of his career, he is not at a loss to play in the fourth position at 2.08 meters. Moreover, Lewis' current weight has increased compared to the Magic and Wizards period.

Therefore, you can still resist it in the inside line.

Finally, letting James return to the third position undoubtedly created an opportunity for James to fight against Link with all his strength. Last season, Spoelstra's approach of defending Link was proved to be a complete failure.

This year, he can't take this risk again.

At least in the Eastern Conference Finals, Lewis achieved miraculous results in the starting lineup. Therefore, Spolstra continued this change into the finals.

On the Grizzlies, Jogel is probably criticized by thousands of fans again, "Even if the end of the world comes, Jogel will not change the starter."

Conley, Link, Iguodala and the Black and White Bears, after continuing the first and fourth juniors in the Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies replaced the traditional starter in the finals.

Joggle hopes that the Grizzlies can drag the Heat into positional battles as much as possible and into slow-paced offense and defense. Because of James and Wade's weak shooting ability, they will be magnified in positional battles.

Therefore, the lineup of one, one, four, and four are not continued.

Just looking at the starting lineup, both sides have actually made a lot of preparations. However, no matter how they change, the key to the finals in this round will not change.

Link and James are the real keys to victory for the two teams. Who can open the door to victory first, which team can embrace the championship.

The referee whistle sounded and the ball officially kicked off!

Marc Gasol got the first attacking ball with his height advantage, and the NBA finals in the 13-14 season officially started!

Link was so excited that he quickly ran through the half and was ready to catch the ball. He felt that he was full of strength, and he just had a chance to vent.

James tried hard to follow Link and prevent him from catching the ball easily. Today, James was unreserved as soon as he came up. He seemed to be not considering physical fitness at all. He was playing with Link!

James is definitely the top outside defense gate in the league. Although he has never won the honor of being the best defensive player, his defensive ability is actually quite top-notch.

His top physical fitness has already determined that his lower limit on the defensive end will not be too low. James' extremely high basketball IQ and calm personality allow him to always make the most correct judgment in defense.

Link was entangled by James in a very embarrassing way. Conley wanted to hand the ball to Link several times, but he didn't have a chance.

Finally, Link simply leaned against James from the middle distance. It seemed that he was going to play with his back!

James tried hard to hold back Link's lower plate and prevented him from exerting force. On the upper limbs, James held Link's waist with one hand and raised his other hand high.

The Heat No. 6's defense is unobstructed!

Link was pointed at Conley at the basket by James. Conley was a little surprised, but his expression soon returned to calm.

Looking at Link's firm eyes, Conley gritted his teeth and threw the ball towards the basket!

"What!?" James was a little surprised to see Conley passing the ball not a high lob. The ball flew directly to the basket. Could it be that the ball was not passed to Link?

James was thinking, but Link, who was leaning against him, suddenly turned around quickly with him as the axis!

Link turned around and wiped James and jumped up immediately. Although there was no room for sprinting, Link's jumping height was still very scary!

In the end, Link received a pass from Conley in the air. Then he stretched out his long arms and smashed the ball into the basket in everyone's astonished eyes!

"boom!"

Link's dunk was very powerful, and the rebounds were dragged down by several centimeters.

He landed steadily, his hands spread out to maintain balance.

"It's great!" Then, Link yelled at the word that no one at the scene could understand. Of course, Chinese fans understood it.

After so much distress, Link finally released the energy in his body.

It was not until Link landed that the shocked fans remembered to cheer. Mike Bryn and Hubby Brown both opened their mouths, pretended to play singles on their backs and then suddenly turned around and received an empty dunk?

This is too difficult!

"Mike, have you seen Link's jumping height just now?" Hubby Brown finally spoke, thinking that his old eyes were dizzy.

"I saw it, and I also saw him stretching his one-handed dunk in the air. Link's condition is completely fine. From the dunk just now, it can be seen that Link's condition is not only in no problem, but his physical condition is also very good!"

Mike Brynn reminisced about the all-connect dunk just now. It is really difficult for ordinary people to complete such an action.

After turning around and applying the opponent, you have to jump immediately. If you receive such a high ball, you have to dunk. If you are in poor health, you will never be able to hit it.

So Mike Bryn and Hubby Brown both looked at Bill Simmons sitting in the middle.

Bill Simmons couldn't put up a word for a long time, and he was embarrassed again.

Not to mention Simmons, even James was shocked by Link's all-connect dunk just now.

This is the finals! However, Link seemed very relaxed. Not everyone had the courage to try the ball in the finals just now.

In the playoffs with tight defense, this all-in-one method is easy to make mistakes.

The Clippers like to play this kind of ball, but what's the result? The grass on their graves is three feet tall.

However, Link made it easy!

Although James never believed outsiders, he always knew that Link could not indulge himself.

But to be honest, James didn't expect Link's physical condition to be so good!

In the first goal of the game, Link hit the Heat's self-confidence hard.

"The ball was too dangerous just now. I believe the Heat would not give him a second chance to perform like that. The game has just begun, don't be too excited." Simmons finally said a word after watching the Heat attack.

He only hopes that the Heat can score goals quickly and destroy the Grizzlies' arrogance.

This time, James acted as an organizer, unlike Link who wanted to get points as soon as he came up.

James and Wade cooperated tacitly, allowing Wade, who cut into the basket, to receive the basketball comfortably.

Wade took the ball and was not afraid of Gasol. Even if he couldn't play, he could still make a foul.

Wade used a throw shot in the air to cross the defense line of the "European Mobile Fortress", and the basketball flew over Gasol's fingertips and was about to fall to the basket.

However, when the basketball was about to fly to the highest point, a big hand suddenly appeared and pushed the basketball from behind Gasol to the rebound.

Wade stared at it with wide eyes and it was Link again!

"Beautiful defense, Link once again completed the blocking of the opponent! This time it was even more beautiful, he directly pressed the basketball backboard. The dear Dwyne, he must have been preparing to celebrate the goal. However, it was a disaster. Link took off in two consecutive rounds, and his physical condition was simply not good!"

James frowned. He had just seen Link rushing into the penalty area from his front, and then completed the entire process of blocking.

Link's athletic ability amazes James, who has abnormal physical fitness!

Even James was shocked, let alone fans and Bill Simmons.

In just two rounds, Link turned all the doubts about him in the previous few days into jokes.

Slack preparation leads to poor condition? Sorry, I'm fully fired today!

Link proved with practical actions that there was no problem with his condition. Now, the only one who can stop Link is James.
Chapter completed!
