801: Miami people are not very friendly

As the Grizzlies bus drove down the streets of Miami, local fans on both sides of the road held up unfriendly words.

"The Heat will win, the Grizzlies will die."

"Salute to the 74-win overall runner-up."

"This will become your hell."

"To be completely destroyed in Miami!"

Looking at the characters on both sides of the road and those fans who were particularly jealous, Link was really worried that they would work together to overturn the team bus.

When the Grizzlies came to Miami last year, they had not encountered such a big resistance. After all, the Grizzlies came to Miami as a challenger last season. At that time, the Miami team was disdainful of the Grizzlies.

But now, the Miami Heat has become a challenger by itself. Moreover, Link also said he would play the Heat 4-0, which undoubtedly greatly increased the resistance of Heat fans to the Grizzlies.

The last time this situation of extreme hostility between the two sides in the NBA Finals may be traced back to the year when the Lakers and Celtics fought.

"It seems that they are eager to eat us alive." Next to Link, Randolph was taking his cell phone to film the scene outside.

To be honest, the "Big Black Bear" didn't expect that they would have such a warm "welcome ceremony" in Miami at the beginning.

"Where are we going, that's not like this? Believe me, you will know what a 'warm welcome' is when we appear in the Aviation Center Arena tomorrow night."

Link is not surprised by this. It is not the only city of Miami that is hostile to the Grizzlies.

If the finals were played in Indianapolis this year, the situation would not be better than that.

After all, the Grizzlies have won a 1-49 approval rating for the first time...

With the assistance of local Miami police, the Grizzlies' team bus was finally able to arrive at the hotel safely.

However, outside the hotel, there was already a siege by reporters.

As soon as Link got off the bus, he was surrounded by a bunch of cameras and microphones.

"Link, do you really think you can win two games in a row on the South Coast!?"

"The Heat have not lost at home so far this season's playoffs! Are you sure you can win here and win two games in a row?"

"If you fail to do everything you put it into words, how would you explain it?"

Link became the most popular or hateful player among journalists.

Half of the reporters at the scene came to Link.

Link did not answer any questions, but walked quickly into the hotel gate with the assistance of security personnel. He knew that whatever he said now was futile, and no matter what he said, it could not stop the local media in Miami from disgust and abuse of him.

Since that's the case, I'll still not get involved with them.

"Damn it, it's so annoying. They won't stay here all day!" Iguodala, who had to squeeze into the hotel hall after losing her power, couldn't help but complain.

Iguodala has always been a low-key person, and he doesn't want such a scene.

"We are simply cakes that fell to the ground now, and were besieged by a group of ants." Link smiled and patted Iguodala on the shoulder. As the protagonist of the whole incident, Link didn't seem to feel bored.

"Are you not at all wrong with being surrounded by them every day?" Iguodala really admired Link's psychological quality. No wonder he could hit a three-pointer on James' head at the last critical moment.

This guy seems to be able to face anything calmly.

"What's the matter of annoying? At most, let's make trouble for them for one more day. After the game tomorrow night, the world will be quiet, Andre." After Link said that, he leisurely got on the elevator.

Before the elevator door was closed, he did not forget to bow to the reporters outside the door in a gentlemanly manner.

"Fuck, it's so cheap!" The local reporters outside the door gritted their teeth, but there was no way, they could never rush in and beat Link up.

They can't complete the task of solving Link's, so they can only rely on the Miami Heat.

Everyone in Miami is looking forward to a vigorous revenge in the American Airlines Center in 24 hours.

Link, on the other hand, has begun to look forward to the peaceful world where the group of reporters shut up.

At 6:30 p.m. the next day, an hour and a half before the third game of the 13-14 NBA Finals, all members of the Memphis Grizzlies officially entered the American Airlines Center Arena.

Today, on the exterior wall of the arena, there is a huge poster with the words "Stand with Miami".

Such extremely serious posters generally do not appear in sports events. Link can guarantee that people have never been so united in Miami, where the population composition is extremely complex.

Just as Link expected, the Grizzlies players had already stepped onto the court and booed the whole world.

Fans watching the ball in front of the TV can only hear boos, while players on the court can also hear very clear insults in addition to boos.

Every time Link's eyes swept across the stands, the fans in that stands would rush to Link's middle finger.

Even Mike Miller, who played for the Miami Heat last season, was not spared.

It can be said that local fans are quite unfriendly to the Grizzlies. If you don’t know, you may think that this year’s finals are Lakers vs Celtics.

In the entire NBA league, no other fans of two teams will hate each other as much as the Lakers and Celtics.

However, today, the Grizzlies and the Heat broke this pattern. These two teams have met twice in the finals, and they just played the same as a stalemate.

Miami is magnificent, and what they want to see most now is the fearful expressions of Grizzlies players. They just want Grizzlies players to know that Miami people are not easy to mess with, and the American Airlines Center is not a place you can take as long as you want.

Link knew this, so when faced with those abuses and those straight middle fingers, Link refused to let them do what they wanted.

Link then smiled slightly, then raised his right hand and waved it lightly. He faced all this calmly like waving his hand to fans!

"Fuck, it's so hateful!"

"People are shameless and invincible in the world!"

"I don't know if Link is the strongest player in history, but he must be the cheapest player in history!"

Miami fans gritted their teeth one by one. Link's calmness was the greatest humiliation of their fierceness.

When you try your best to intimidate the other person, but find that they are not afraid of you at all, the frustration is very strong.

And Link undoubtedly made Miami fans experience that sense of frustration.

Link's actions made the booing in the American Airlines Center Arena even louder. Mike Bryn, who was commenting on the game on the spot, shook his head, "I started commenting on the NBA game in 1991. I witnessed Ewing's glory and loneliness, the sensation and ecstasy of Isaiah Thomas, and Michael's two consecutive championships that no one could match. But I can guarantee that no team would be booed so badly in the finals!"

"Under normal circumstances, home fans will cheer for their team without leaving any effort. But what do we see? We only see Miami fans booing without leaving any effort. It seems that the Miami Heat is transparent, and fans only speak for the away team. To a certain extent, the Grizzlies are considered to be the go-to team."

After Brin finished speaking, his eyes fell on Link, the first in NBA history who could score a triple-double in two consecutive games in the finals.

He was very curious, how would Link end in the face of this situation?

Both sides finally ended the warm-up amid the endless boos. Ten minutes before the game, both sides made final arrangements.

Today, the Grizzlies decided to take the initiative to strive to gain an advantage as soon as possible.

Although Miami fans have a strong temperament, the Heat actually don’t have much resistance left.

As long as the score gap is widened as soon as possible, the Heat will completely lose their ability to resist. As long as they win this third game, 4-0 will be a foregone conclusion!

Therefore, Dave Joggel decided to use Tobias Harris to start with Randolph today. The Grizzlies line up a one-to-one, four-small, and extremely aggressive lineup!

He attempted to cover the American Airlines Center with the most intense firepower from the beginning.

"Operation, go ahead and get on the offense! I bet that the league must have moved the O'Brien Cup to Miami now. They have the trophy ready, so there is no reason for us to drag it out! Listen to these sounds and it's time to calm them down for a while."

After Jogel finished speaking, he waved his hand and the Grizzlies started and the five tigers stepped into the court.

Spoelstra originally made many adjustments to this game, but after seeing the Grizzlies actually changed the team, the Heat's Filipino coach was heartbroken.
