498: Aborted 27-game winning streak

Before returning from the timeout, James' key three-pointer gave Spoelstra hope. This is not the first time this Filipino coach is thinking that the Heat still have a chance to win.

But he never expected that Link would win the color with a four-pointer so quickly. Now, Spolstra really experienced the feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom instantly.

On the court, Link was tearing the jerseys at Rockets fans with a terrified look in his eyes. He was arrogant, which made Heat fans extremely disgusted. But the most disgusting thing was that Link was really qualified to be so rampant.

In the last 34 seconds of the game, if Link hits the penalty, the Grizzlies will take a 9-point lead!

It is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Heat from 5 minutes to 9 minutes. It is not difficult to chase 5 minutes in 54 seconds, but it is not easy to chase 9 minutes in 34 seconds.

After the excited celebration, Link returned to the free throw line and stood up. At this time, Miami fans were even scared to forget to boo.

After receiving the basketball, Link adjusted his breathing and then looked at James. At this time, the face of the number one player in the league was full of despair!

Link made a steady move, continuing the hot feeling when he made a shot in the interference just now. The basketball was still hollow and there was no accident. Link scored a four-pointer, and the Grizzlies officially widened the gap to 4 points!

Link had just finished the free throw, and Spoelstra called the timeout. But everyone knew that this timeout was more likely to be just the Heat's dying struggle.

"It's too strong, 42 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals! Another 40-point triple-double! Link was unreserved when facing LeBron today, and he took out his best form! He let everyone know that even LeBron James may not be able to stop Link who is fully fired! The game is not over yet, but the Heat may not have a chance!"

The entire American Airlines Center has become lifeless. Their 12 consecutive victories and James' continuous magical performances are likely to be ruined today!

The Heat fans seemed to suddenly wake up from a beautiful dream, but the scene in front of them was extremely cruel.

The Miami Heat are not invincible, and LeBron and James are not invincible. They are the defending champions, but that was the honor of last season and that doesn't belong to the present!

"LeBron, Dwyne, Chris, everyone, cheer up, everything is not over!" Spoelstra also tried to gather the team, but judging from the expressions of James and others, the effect was minimal.

James didn't have the heart to listen to Spoelstra's chicken soup, and his mind was now full of Link's trash talk.

"What a pity, you almost succeeded today. But in the end, you can't score 30 points or win the game."

"Didn't you say you can get 100 points as long as you want? Let me see, I won't be too damn about you."

"Believe it or not, your score today can't even exceed 30?"

If it's just trash talk, it won't make James upset. Why is Bird's trash talk ruthless? Because he said you are here to get second, you can really be second. Why are Jordan's trash talk afraid? Because his strength allows him to always achieve his goals.

If you just say harsh words, people at most think that you are just a clown. But if you can turn it into reality with practical actions, others will be afraid of you.

And today, Link undoubtedly turned all his trash talk into reality!

James has never experienced this sense of frustration since he came to the Heat. The domineering "Little Emperor" was also the first time he was beaten up by someone else's trash talk!

When James thought that Link turned all the trash he squirted into reality, he was particularly powerless. When facing such a guy, is there really a chance to win?

James was still immersed in his frustration, and the game started again. He played in a daze, 34 seconds and 9 seconds. Everyone knew how difficult it was. McGrady's performance that shocked the world and cried the ghosts and gods, and "only" scored 13 points in 35 seconds.

Even if the standard is reduced by 4 points, this is still difficult to accomplish.

"Does the Miami Heat still have a chance? For them now, time and point difference are very serious. The Heat not only need to score quickly, but also score efficiently! Let's see what the defending champion will do!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the Heat drove the ball out. James shot as soon as he received the ball, and the Heat was in a hurry.

However, this hasty three-point shooting is not James' specialty. Coupled with Iguodala's tight interference, James' shooting is crooked and fluttering.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the front of the basket, and James, who was almost mentally collapsed, failed indeed!

However, this ball was a long rebound. Wade was very lucky and happened to be at the landing point of the basketball and won the offensive rebound before Link. Then, the "Flash" distributed the ball to Ray Allen, the most efficient three-point shooter of the Heat, who controls the fate of the Heat!

However, at this time, Lei Allen was no longer the young man who shot three-pointers as rained when he was young. As a veteran who was almost 40 years old, Lei Allen's shooting stability was no longer as good as before.

Under the active interference of Conley, Ray Allen did not make a three-pointer! This time, Randolph protected the rebound and did not give the Heat another chance! He was unable to seize two consecutive opportunities, and the Heat's failure was a foregone conclusion!

"Foof, foul!" Spoelstra was still yelling on the sidelines, hoping to use foul tactics to gain time.

But everyone knows that this is just a useless struggle.

After Conley was fouled, Link gathered everyone and said a few simple words. This is not the first time Link has gathered his teammates to speak on the court this season, and everyone in the Grizzlies are also used to being led by Link.

Stevens and Pera vigorously corrected Link, which is undoubtedly the right decision for the moment.

Guy may have been the player with the strongest comprehensive ability in the past, but Guy does not have this kind of leadership at all.

Then, Conley stood on the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws steadily, not being crushed by pressure, and the score difference became 11 points! It seems that Link's speech was also useful. Now, the light of the US Airlines Center was completely obscured.

The last few dozen seconds are extremely long for Heat fans. Because for them, this is not just a regular season defeat, but a farewell to their most glorious moment of the season!

12 consecutive wins, James' record-breaking performance... all these have to wave goodbye to them.

Of course, only Link knew. The victory of this game also changed the history of NBA!

The 27-game winning streak of the Heat Big Three will no longer exist!

"Beep~~~~~" The electronic beeping officially announced the death of the Miami Heat, like a death bell!

LeBron James looked at the disappointed fans and hung his crown-wearing head.

With 25 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, James' data did not rise again. At first glance, James' performance seems to be not bad.

But his shooting percentage of less than 30% and pre-match remarks made James' data particularly eye-catching.

Link did what he said, and did not make James score 30. James's comments about 100 points in a single game before the game made him fall into dire straits.

As the saying goes, dig a hole and jump by yourself.

In comparison, Link's 40-point triple-double undoubtedly beats James. As a player who directly matches James, being able to score a 40-point triple-double at the American Airlines Center is enough legendary.

After the game, a reporter found the down-and-out James and asked him what he wanted to say about the game.

James shook his head with his head down, "It's a pity that our winning streak has been interrupted, but this is not the end. We will continue to work hard to avoid making the mistakes we have today in the playoffs."

James began to comfort himself, thinking to himself that the Grizzlies could not reach the finals anyway, so he didn't need to be so nervous.

When Link faced the camera, what he said was much simpler.

"Goodbye in the finals, the champion is about to change hands."

This is the first time that the Grizzlies and Link, in public, expressed their desire for a championship.

But under the premise of a 40-point triple-double, no one thinks that Link is just talking casually.

Looking at Link who was confident on the court, Stevens smiled with relief. His and Pera's goals had basically been achieved.

From 1995 to 2013, it took nearly 20 years.
