"Didi..."

The sound of the alarm clock rang in the room, but it stopped abruptly after about a second.

Link quickly turned off the alarm because he wasn't sleeping at all.

Seven hours have passed since the end of the fierce game. But as soon as Link closes his eyes, he will feel the cheers in the American Airlines Center. Close his eyes, as if Ray Allen's shot will be staged in front of him again.

All night, Link couldn't sleep. As soon as he fell asleep, he would be awakened immediately and kept repeating.

Ray Allen won the final game, this time, he completely saved the Miami Heat. This final game is one of the greatest final games in the history of the NBA Finals.

Link still remembers that in the original history, Ray Allen also scored a similar goal against the Spurs. But that goal did not kill the game, but dragged the game into overtime.

But when it came to the Grizzlies, Ray Allen's key shot turned into a final shot, and it was still the most exciting buzzer-beating kill.

Indeed, in the last round, Link's defense against James was perfect. In the last round, Ray Allen's responsibility for scoring the goal was not Link.

But Link knew that in the final analysis, it was because he made two free throws at critical moments. If he could grasp that free throw, even if Lei Allen made a three-pointer, the Grizzlies would not lose.

The strong sense of self-blame made Link very distressed. He thought he had not fulfilled the responsibilities that a leader should do. The good situation where he could lead 3-1 was obviously because of the free throws at the most moment and the three-pointer at the last moment, it turned into the current 2-2 draw.

Next, the Heat will definitely have a strong morale. Next, the two sides returned to the same starting line. Next, the ownership of the championship became confusing again.

The Grizzlies were almost touching the O'Brien Cup with one hand, but before they could touch it, the Heat thrust the back of their hands hard, and their hands shrank back.

"Link, why are you staring at the ceiling early in the morning?" Just as Link was thinking about it, Randolph, who lived in the same room as Link.

Link turned his head and realized that Randolph was staring at him, his eyes wide open.

"Damn, you are perverted. You don't say anything when you wake up, staring at a big man." Link waved his hand and sat up from the bed.

"You are just more perverted than you. You don't sleep all night and stare at the ceiling for one night. I said, are you still thinking about the failure yesterday?"

Link didn't answer, it was a default.

"Hey, to be honest, I didn't expect that it would be the result. When James missed the shot, I almost jumped up. Who knew that in the last second, he would fall into hell in the next second. But we haven't lost yet, didn't we? As the team leader, you can't surrender first, Link."

Randolph rarely talks to Link so seriously, but every time he is serious, he is definitely heartfelt.

After hearing this, Link was silent for a while, then looked at Randolph and found that the guy was asleep again...

Link shook his head. Sure enough, it is difficult for people like Randolph to become serious.

But you can't surrender first...Link listened to it.

An hour later, breakfast time. In the restaurant, most of the Grizzlies players were frustrated, among which Link and Jimmy Butler were the most obvious.

Link missed a key free throw, while Butler was Ray Allen's biggest background board for the final victory. After all, Ray Allen scored on Butler's head.

Iguodala saw the two people in a low mood and took the initiative to lean on it, "Hey, smile, there is no end of the world yet. We still have three chances to play next, two of which are at home, and we still have the upper hand."

"Oh." Link and Butler answered casually weakly.

Iguodala shook her head. Indeed, the loss yesterday was too bad for morale. After all, this was not as simple as a regular season game. Ray Allen's shooting can be said to have reduced the Grizzlies' chance of winning the championship.

Moreover, Link had the opportunity to stop all this, but failed to do it, which would definitely be difficult to accept.

It is really not easy to get him to recover in such a quick time.

But it is not easy and must recover, because the finals do not wait for anyone. Soon, the battle of Tianwang Mountain will come one after another, and the Heat will not wait for Link to fully recover before playing the game.

Iguodala then sat down next to Link with a meal. As one of the most experienced players of the Grizzlies, Iguodala felt that she had the responsibility to help Link get out of the shadow of the loss.

"Link, you often say that losing is not a person's responsibility, but everyone's responsibility. But in the end, you take all the responsibility yourself."

"But that's really my responsibility, Andre. That damn free throw, I fucking...."

"So what if it's your responsibility? That's over! Are you going to wait for the Heat to send the victory to you to comfort you? This is the finals, and only the most talented person is worthy of living to the end! It doesn't matter if he loses. If he knocks off your teeth, then you will break his nose! If you cover the wound with one tooth and don't put it down, where can you fight back?"

Iguodala suddenly became emotional, and everyone's eyes were gathered on him and Link.

"I am willing to follow you because I believe you are the kind of person who will definitely fight back. I believe that what I can do with you. Last summer I had many choices, but I finally chose Memphis. It's not because of how pleasant the environment in Memphis is, nor because of the simple customs there, nor because of how commercial value Memphis has! I chose Memphis because of you! I decided to join this team! You are the leader of the team, Link. Anyone can surrender, but you can't. Indeed, it's very unfair. But this is the power, the mission given to you."

After Iguodala finished speaking, she seemed to find that she had said a little too much, so she took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions.

The boiled egg in Link's hand had been completely crushed.

He has heard this sentence for the second time today.

Link slowly peeled off the eggshell and said softly, "Thank you, Andre."

After that, everything returned to normal. Iguodala didn't know if what she said was a bit too heavy. It was not easy to let a third-year player learn how to be a leader in the finals.

Wade won the championship in the third grade, but there was a huge shark behind him. Duncan won the championship in the second grade, but he was surrounded by a tough "Admiral".

Where is Link? He does have good teammates around him. But even Iguodala himself must admit that none of them can help Link in this regard.

Compared with other stars who won the championship at a young age, Link needs to bear more pressure.

But Iguodala believes in his own vision and he will not follow the wrong person.

In the afternoon, the training was going on as usual. Link was in good condition, and in the training hall, his smiles and jokes gradually increased.

Link slept for a long time at noon, probably because he didn't sleep well last night.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Link continued to train without any slack. The most important thing was that he practiced his free throws. He kept shooting and kept shooting. In order to ensure that there was no mistake, the only thing he could do now was keep shooting.

Later, a reporter walked into the Grizzlies' training hall for an open-time interview.

With Lei Alan's magical finale in front of him, there are many reporters coming to interview today. There is no doubt that Lei Alan's finale is full of topics. The reporters have prepared a lot of questions and are ready to continue to hype the next battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After the reporters came in, most of them immediately surrounded Link. Whether the Grizzlies were winning or losing, Link must be the most highly anticipated player.

Iguodala looked at Link, wondering how that guy would face this matter directly.

"Link, can you comment on Ray Allen's wonderful kill yesterday?"

"The total score of the series was forcibly tied 2-2. How are you feeling now?"

"Faced with such a great shooter, and two MVP players, do you think you still have hope of winning?"

The reporters chattered and kept making noise, while Link drank slowly. The calm state formed a sharp contrast with the excited reporters.

Finally, Link put down the thermos and said softly, "Ray Allen's magic has nothing to do with me. Do you want to hear the praise of him here? Dreaming! I am here to defeat him, not to praise him. The Heat should be glad that they escaped from death in the last game, but this kind of thing will never happen again!"

The reporters were all shocked. Judging from the condition of Link's loss yesterday, they thought Link's psychological defense had collapsed. But they didn't know that Link was still the same and no one was convinced!

He didn't even say a polite word!

Iguodala, who was beside him, smiled with relief after hearing what Link said. This is the courage that the villain leader should have.

It seems that Link is stronger than he imagined. His third grade is destined to be unique.

Afterwards, Iguodala saw Link actually blinking at him secretly.
Chapter completed!
