The media and the official have been building momentum for the finals for two days, and the popularity they created will be realized soon because the division finals and finals will not be too long apart.

Just two days after the Heat defeated the Pacers in tiebreak, on June 6, 2013, this fanatical summer officially kicked off at the Federal Express Arena in Memphis!

James and his teammates arrived in Memphis a day early. James was surprised when he sat on the bus to the hotel. This was his first time discovering that the basketball atmosphere in Memphis was so hot.

An inconspicuous small city has become globally attracting attention because of basketball. In this way, it is really like the Cleveland before.

On the building is a huge poster of Link. On the street, people are wearing the No. 0 jersey. James felt as if he saw himself in Cleveland back then.

However, James also knew very well how immature he and the Cavaliers were back then, and the Grizzlies are the same now! Miami Heat cannot be missed!

So, before today's game started, the Heat came to the stadium early to start warming up. Even though they were still fighting with the Pacers two days ago, the Heat did not feel tired when it came to the finals.

Link and his teammates also came early today, and many were so excited that they couldn't sleep last night. After all, the Grizzlies players played the Finals for the first time. For them, this was an unprecedented experience.

Two hours before the game, Link and James faced each other on the field for the first time this season's playoffs.

"They look energetic." Wade stood beside James and sighed.

This year's playoffs, Wade was affected by injury and his condition was a bit sluggish. He has only averaged 15.9 points per game and his three-point shooting percentage is only 25%. Both of these data are the lowest in his career.

This season, Wade's knees, which are already full of holes, can't stand it anymore. Starting from 2012, Wade will regularly pump knees before the game. There is no way, because the knee injury is increasing. Computer::/

Before the game started today, Wade once again drew water on his knees. The only thing he wanted was to grab the victory at the Federal Express Arena. So, seeing the Grizzlies players on the court, Wade's eyes became focused.

Of course, Wade will do his best. For a man, besides money and family, the most important thing is pride and honor!

"Before the season starts, have you ever thought they could reach the finals?" James looked at the wooden floor under his feet and the Grizzlies' logo in the middle of the stadium, and felt a little dreamy.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that. In the past, the Memphis Grizzlies seemed to have nothing to do with honor and the finals. But now, they are standing opposite us. Hey, this year's regular season we have a record of 0 wins and 2 losses."

"Yes, when facing the Grizzlies in regular terms, their record is not very good." James curled his lips.

Wade and James calculated after the season, and if they did not lose to the Grizzlies in early 2013, they would have a chance to set a record of 27 consecutive victories!

But all of this disappeared because of the grizzly bear.

"But the playoffs are the playoffs, I will fight them for life, don't worry, LeBron." After Wade said that, he continued to warm up.

James was a little surprised. Wade felt strange today, and there was a kind of tragic tragedy of the wind whistling and the water was cold, and the heroes never returned once they left.

James did not stare blankly anymore, but continued to practice three-pointers. Wade would fight for this game, and he was no exception.

James swears that he will no longer allow the finals to fail!

Two hours later, the Federal Express Arena had become very lively. Before the game started today, the Grizzlies had a player introduction ceremony as usual.

The cheers of the fans and the cool lighting effects on the scene made the players' passion roll in their bodies.

Today, James was very concerned about the Grizzlies' player introduction ceremony. Who will replace him after Iguodala's injury will be untied during the introduction ceremony.

In the end, as expected, Tony Allen, who was still selected as a substitute this year as a substitute, became the Grizzlies.

James's mouth curled up slightly, everything was under control!

After the lively introduction ceremony, players from both sides stood in designated positions.

Link did not stand at the third position today, but stood at the second position. James was not surprised. On the defensive end, the Grizzlies would definitely use Tony Allen to defend themselves.

But James is not in a hurry, even if he is dealing with Tony Allen, James is confident!

"The game is about to begin, and the Heat are the same as in the division finals. In addition to the Big Three, Chalmos and Haslem. On the Grizzlies, due to Iguodala's injury, Tony Allen replaced Iguodala. This is also the first time Tony Allen has made his debut in the playoffs this year!

Before the game started, Hubby Brown seized the time to introduce the situation of both sides to the fans.

As a well-known commentator, Hubby Brown has one or two games in the finals almost every year and is invited by ESPN to comment on the game.

But this time, Hubby Brown was finally able to explain his favorite team's finals.

The camera gave Iguodala a close-up on the bench, and the data from Iguodala's playoffs are shown below.

Average of 16 points per game is a lot of numbers, and it scores more than Wade. Tony Allen has almost no scoring ability, which is well known.

How the Grizzlies fill this 16-point gap has become the biggest highlight of the game.

The referee whistle sounded, and the basketball rushed straight up. The 12-13 NBA finals officially began!

The most criticized Heat is the inside player. Although the Heat signed "Birdman" Chris Anderson in January 2013, this still cannot fill the gap in the inside player's bottomless pit.

During the game competition, Gasol Jr. won without surprise. Bosh was not as tall as the opponent and his desire to compete for the ball was not strong.

The fans at the Federal Express Arena were yelling wildly, they could not wait to see the 50-point gentleman perform.

The Grizzlies' first offense did find Link. As the Grizzlies' star, Link has the responsibility to take the lead for the team.

However, James, who was as strong as a bull, immediately came to Link.

James' height and wingspan are not as exaggerated as Durant, but his strong body and focused eyes are enough to make most players lose before they fight him.

Of course, Link would not go solo as soon as he came up, but instead called for cover and played a pick-and-roll with Randolph.

If Link could get in front of Haslem by pick-and-roll, it would basically be like giving away points.

Heat captain Haslem is indeed very motivated, but to be honest, his hard strength is still not quite good enough. At least compared with Link, it is not at the same level.

Link took advantage of the screen to break through and then killed at the basket, but Link found that the Heat actually chose to double-team in the first round!

James and Haslem both followed Link and retreated, and the Heat's defense was very firm!

Link knew that this was not an opportunity, so he had to pass the ball to Randolph.

But Haslem defended himself back immediately, and Randolph did not get a shot. The Grizzlies' offense suddenly stopped.

In the past, Iguodala could stand up and take over the attack at this time. But now, Iguodala is watching the game off the court in a suit.

Randolph had to return the ball to Conley to reorganize, and the Heat's defense was successful!

"The Heat's strategy is very clear, and Link shrinks as soon as he breaks. Now without Iguodala, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower on the outside has been greatly reduced, so they can focus all their energy on Link."

Then, Link received the ball at mid-range and prepared to play James with his back-to-back singles.

However, the moment Link turned over and shot, Wade rushed over immediately, and the two interfered with Link's shooting.

For Link, double-teaming is not an open space. In the end, the basketball iron was hit, and the emotions brewing by the Grizzlies fans were suppressed!

"If I didn't make it, the Grizzlies' first attack today was very unsuccessful! It seems that the Miami Heat have made sufficient preparations!"

Off the field, Iguodala was anxious. If he were there, Wade would probably not dare to help defend Link like this.

Bosh received the rebound and exchanged the Heat for attack!

Tony Allen is determined to give James a good look on the defensive end. It is difficult for him to contribute on the offensive end, so he hopes to get it back on the defensive end.

However, James did not hold the ball in the first leg at all. Wade ran away from Link and received a pass from Chalmos, and even made a jump shot from the three-point line!

Link was caught off guard because Wade averaged only 25% of three-point shooting percentage per game until now in the playoffs, which is a failed hit rate! Therefore, Link's strategy to defend Wade is also very simple, and he will shoot but not make any breakthroughs. Mobile::

As a result, Wade just started shooting.

For superstars like Wade, if you give them a chance, he will really dare to score. Just like Jordan in 1992, his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs was only about 20%. So before the finals, the local TV station in Portland said, "We only need to let Jordan stand on the outside and shoot three-pointers to win the game."

As a result, Jordan scored 6 three-pointers in the first half of the finals, and the record of 6 three-pointers in the finals was not broken by Ray Allen in 2010.

Therefore, don't underestimate any superstars. Even if their data were not good before, don't underestimate them. If they have disagreements, they will break the record.

Wade was the same this time. Link gave him a chance, so he decisively shot. In the end, the basketball also entered the net with the Heat starting 3-0!

After Wade scored a goal, James ran up and slapped his good brother hard. Every time Wade pulled out his knees and accumulated water, his condition would improve greatly. So today, Wade would definitely not be at the level of 15 per game.

Don’t underestimate the knees. The health of the lower body is not only a breakthrough, but also a significant impact on shooting.

Wade's heart is stronger than anyone else. He will not allow himself to watch from the wall today. He wants to survive this difficult opponent with James!

After the high-five, Sao Wei turned his head and smiled at Link, "Welcome to the finals, little dear!"
Chapter completed!
