492: I can get 100 points anytime
Stevens takes this game very seriously, after all, this is the last chance for the Grizzlies to play against the Heat during the regular season this season.
It is also the last time they will try their best to have before the finals.
That's right, the finals. The Grizzlies' season goal is not just the playoffs, or the second round of the playoffs.
From last summer, Robert Pera bought the Grizzlies and recruited soldiers to Spets + second round pick for Harris, what the Grizzlies have been doing is to prepare for the finals.
Pera bought the Grizzlies not because he watched the Grizzlies continue to sink. He straightened Link, not just to get Link to gain better attention.
Breaking out of the West makes the Grizzlies appear on the finals for the first time in history!
This dream, people in Memphis have been doing it for too long.
And if the Grizzlies really make it to the finals in the end, should they be satisfied?
The whole team celebrates together and then serve as the Heat in the finals?
Of course it is impossible! Since you have reached the finals, who doesn’t want to get it in one step?
Championship! It sounds crazy, but if the Grizzlies really make it to the finals, no matter how crazy it is, they will do it.
The Grizzlies' primary goal this year is to rush out of the West. But if they reach the final, Stevens must also ensure that the Grizzlies can continue to defeat their opponents smoothly.
Therefore, Stevens cherished the last chance to play against the Heat in the regular season.
Both sides showed 100% of their strength to see what they could do, and Stevens also had a clear idea in his heart.
The Heat may not necessarily reach the finals, but Stevens believes that as long as they can handle the Heat, the Grizzlies will not be afraid of other teams in the Eastern Conference.
At noon on the 29th, the Grizzlies' flight arrived at Miami International Airport. Before getting off the plane, the bright sunshine floated in through the plane's windows.
At this time, the radio in the plane also rang, "The flight is about to arrive at its destination, Florida, Miami. Today, the ground temperature in Miami is about 21 degrees Celsius. Please change the appropriate clothes in advance."
Link curled his lips and remembered the night when the plane could not land due to heavy snow in Toronto a few days ago. And what about Miami? The sun is shining!
Miami and Toronto, at similar points in time, seem to be two completely different worlds. If Link chooses between Toronto and Miami, he would rather choose Miami.
Therefore, it is really not easy for the Raptors to develop. The factors that limit their development are no longer just basketball reasons.
"21 degrees Celsius!? Miami is really a place favored by God, all seasons are like summer." Randolph hurriedly took off his coat. It was still a bit cold when he got on the plane in the morning.
"Everyone has changed into suitable clothes. After getting off the plane, you have to face the hot climate, in addition to facing the overly enthusiastic reporters. Believe me, you won't want to know the experience of wearing a jacket in the crowd." As soon as Stevens finished speaking, the plane suddenly shook.
Link looked at the view that was speeding past the window and they landed!

It was crowded with people, and this was the first word that came to mind when Link arrived at the airport lobby.
The reporters have been waiting at the airport for a long time. Camera, microphone, and flashing games have not yet begun, and the reporters have created an atmosphere of war.
It seems that it is not only Stevens who value this game, but everyone regards this game as the focus.
"Link, how do you evaluate the Heat's current 12-game winning streak? Do you think you have a chance to end this record at the American Airlines Center?"
"Link, LeBron scored 30 points in six consecutive games and scored 60% shooting percentage, how difficult is it to achieve?"
"Can you tell me about your plans? Are you planning to use Tobias Harris? Defensive end, who will defend James, you or Iguodala?"
The reporters' shouts filled Link's ears, and he had no idea whose question he should answer.
It can be heard that although the Grizzlies are now the top scorer in the league, this time they are still placed in the position of "Challenger" to compare with the Heat.
There is no way, who will make us the defending champion?
After finally rushing out of the crowd and boarding the team bus, Link was already sweating profusely.
Stevens was the last one to get in the car. He looked at the hot and sweaty players and smiled, "This is just the beginning, guys. From now until the end of the game, you all should be prepared for me for war."
Stevens didn't need too much words, and the enthusiastic media had helped him create a tense atmosphere.

When the Grizzlies players landed at the airport, the Miami Heat had finished their morning training.
The Heat team is now in a happy mood. The Heat Big Three is already in a good relationship. With the three of them and Haslem, the Heat players generally can't make any trouble.
During the training break, everyone sat on the ground, chatting and laughing.
James sat in a chair next to the training hall sweating profusely. The man who had just broken the league record and scored 40 points and 16 assists in the last game was not complacent.
He is still one of the players who have worked hardest in the entire team today. He knows very well how many opponents will be tomorrow's game, so he will never take it lightly.
Facing that young and hot star, James completely destroyed him with one goal!
"LeBron, have you read the news? The Grizzlies have arrived." Just as James was crazy about the scene of tomorrow's game, Wade came over and sat next to James.
"Well, although they just lost to the Mavericks, they still seem to be very confident. These bastards, this is Miami."
"Hahaha, they do have the capital to be confident. Although we have won 12 consecutive victories, our current record still cannot catch up with them. Are you ready? LeBron. Your opponent tomorrow is not Marcus Thorton who has lost his chain at a critical moment."
"Don't worry," James waved his hand. "Link is indeed very good this season, but after all, he is only a third-year. He may become great in the future, but now is our era! I will let him understand the gap between him and the league's number one!"
James smiled at Wade, and Wade nodded solemnly. In his impression, this was the first time James said that he was the first in the league.
All-powerful Zhan, you are about to set off!

On March 1, the stands at the American Airlines Center were very lively. The fans of the Heat were wearing red Heat T-shirts. They were all in the regular season game and were just like they were out of the playoffs.
A few fans wearing Grizzlies No. 0 jerseys were trembling among a group of enthusiastic Heat fans.
They are majestic today!
The Heat have indeed been used to winning in the past month and seem to be not afraid of any opponents. However, the mood of Heat fans is not difficult to understand. When you have an omnipotent James, you do not have to worry about losing.
Who is the number one in the active league? A few years ago, this issue remains to be discussed. After all, the 24th in Los Angeles had not yet shown its old age at that time.
But now, in terms of personal abilities and personal honors, James is really the most qualified to be the first person.
The strongest thing about the Grizzlies is Link, but today they have to face the entanglement of the league's number one player. Heat fans believe that Link will not be able to bear it.
With the cheers of Heat fans, Link became the first player to step onto the stadium. Suddenly, the cheer turned into booing. Heat fans were not very friendly to the Grizzlies. They lost to the Grizzlies once at the beginning of the season, and they also suffered a crushing defeat!
So today, every Miami fan is eager for revenge!
"Have you heard their welcome? It seems that we have to be with this voice all night." Randolph couldn't help but complain. Now, no matter where the Grizzlies go, the booing they harvest is extremely "unique".
The Grizzlies players had just stepped into the stadium and had not had time to warm up. On the other side, the Heat players wearing training suits also came out!
The fans were like radios, and they changed naturally, and immediately cut the boo to cheers.
LeBron James stepped into the court with a serious face. The man who performed terrible performance this season is ready to destroy his next opponent!
"LeBron, can you delay your time for a few minutes?" A few minutes before the game, famous sideline reporter David Aldridge found James.
James nodded. Although he had just warmed up just now, it was obvious that James was already sweating all over.
"As we all know, the Grizzlies' defense is very strong. Starting from Link, Iguodala, Tony Allen, to the Black and White Bears in the interior. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the best team in the league's defense this season. And you must be the main defense target of the Grizzlies today. So, how many points do you think you can get under such a tight defense?"
David Aldridge is an old man, and his questions are not that easy to answer.
James' highest single-game score so far in his career is 56 points, which is a lot of 56 points, but compared with those more terrifying single-game score records, it is not so amazing.
James nodded confidently at the camera, "If I wanted to, I could get 100 points every night. I don't know how many points I can get today, but I will try my best to help the team win."
James is a typical example of pretending to be a dumb first and then pretending to be humble. James knows that the Grizzlies have a strong defense, but so what? Superstars are just uncontrollable!
After answering the reporter's questions, the referee began to urge players from both sides to step onto the stadium.
Link pressed his legs in the middle circle. After seeing James, he waved to the No. 6.
James thought Link was greeting him kindly, but he didn't know that Link did not say "hello" and said something that made James laugh for a moment.
"LeBron, you can't even get 30 points today."
Chapter completed!
