791: The Bottomless Link (4K)(1/2)

Hubby Brown had untied his tie, and the temperature at the scene was so high that it was unbearable!

In the stands behind him, thousands of fans also became glossy. Some male fans even took off their upper T-shirts and shouted in the stands with shirtlessness.

"Damn it, why is this problem?" Bill Simmons began to complain while wiping his sweat.

A minute ago, they had learned that there was a problem with the air conditioning system in the Federal Express Arena. But the game would not be interrupted, and the battle between the Grizzlies and the Heat will continue. Therefore, everyone could only endure the cruel high temperature and continue watching the game.

If I had known that this kind of unlucky thing would have happened today, Simmons would not have been the special guest.

In midsummer of June, losing air conditioning in an indoor place that accommodates nearly 20,000 people is like a trip to hell.

Simmons' shirt was completely soaked in sweat. As a commentator, just sitting in such an environment, he felt that he could not hold on.

Simmons really couldn't imagine how the players of the two teams would continue to fight on the court later.

Today's game is perhaps the most difficult final in NBA history.

At this time, James, who was sitting in the locker room, was still sweating uncontrollably. There was a problem with the air conditioning system in the entire court, which meant that the air conditioning in the locker room had also disappeared.

Everyone has received a formal notice at this time, and they all know what they will face next.

Continuing to fight at 40c, James can already foresee how hard it will be to play in the next half.

"In the second half, we have to look for more opportunities outside the three-point line. It is no joke to get close to the high temperature of 40c. We need to reduce our consumption and stick to the end. So, use the gap to shoot more. We don't feel good, and the Grizzlies won't feel good either."

Spoelstra decided to strengthen the shooting outside the three-point line, the high temperature of 40c and the rapid passing of physical fitness, while also increasing the risk of players being injured.

If a player in the Heat was injured due to physical exhaustion in the first game, it would be more than worth the effort.

Therefore, in the second half, the proportion of shooting in the offense must be increased!

James has no objection to this. Although he is not good at long-term shooting, if his teammates make a shot, they can open up space for him.

At that time, James believes that he can do whatever he wants!

Link Link is also a human being, and he will be imprisoned by the heat. James thought to himself that Link will definitely not be as fierce as he did in the second half as he did.

Unless that guy only plays three quarters, he must save his energy for the fourth quarter.

James felt like he was sure to win, and the high temperature of 40c could not stop him!

The second half began soon, and when the players of both sides entered the court, they felt that the temperature seemed to have increased a little more.

The heat produced by nearly 20,000 people on site cannot be dissipated by just dissipation.

Now, the players of the two teams seem to be in a huge oven. They have no way out. Only by eliminating each other in this harsh environment can they end the pain!

"The two teams played very fiercely in the first half, and the Grizzlies are only 5 points ahead of the Heat at present. But now, the situation is completely different. Under the high temperature, I don't know if the players of both sides will continue the intensity of the confrontation in the first half."

Hubby Brown has unbuttoned his suit. He has explained the competition for so many years and has never encountered such a situation.

Indeed, on the open-air court, playing ball in the scorching sun seems to be worse than this.

However, the intensity of the confrontation of the open-air court is incomparable to the NBA. Even the edge of the NBA cannot be touched.

Moreover, the rhythm and exercise frequency of basketball games are faster and stronger than many open-air sports. Therefore, the high temperature of 40c is indeed a challenge for professional basketball players.

A challenge that has never been seen before.

The Heat attacked first in the second half, and the Heat players faithfully implemented Spoelstra's tactics and began to seek opportunities outside the three-point line.

To gain gaps outside the three-point line, James and Wade need to create an inside threat.

So, James planned to break through Link as soon as he came to the second half.

At this time, Link's defensive strength was no different from the first half.

However, James was not in a hurry. He firmly believed that as time passed, Link's strength would definitely decrease.

After James broke through and attracted the defense, he passed the ball to Rashad Lewis, who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Lewis, the "anti-air gun", did not disappoint James' expectations. He made a steady three-pointer, helping the Heat narrow the gap to 2 points!

Spolstral smiled and finally, the game entered the rhythm of the Miami Heat!

Afterwards, Conley passed the ball to the marching Link, but made a mistake and the basketball passed directly out of bounds.

The main reason for this ball mistake was that Conley's pass force was too small to hit the ground. The rebound height was not enough, so he flew directly under Link's hands.

Grizzlies players were a little surprised because the Grizzlies have rarely made such unforced mistakes. In particular, Conley and Link, as the Grizzlies' metronomes, they almost never make mistakes.

But just now, a very low-level mistake occurred between the two metronomes. There is no doubt that the high temperature has affected the performance of the Grizzlies.

"My fault, the passing moment doesn't feel powerful!" Conley raised his hand and apologized to his teammates. Although the second half had just begun, his strength seemed to have been taken away.

"It's okay, keep on solid defense and don't panic." As the team leader, Link knew that he had to be in trouble first.

Even if you are so nervous, you must pretend to be confident.

James was overjoyed. It seemed that the Grizzlies consumed more than the Heat. In the second half, it was the Grizzlies' doomsday!

After the Heat attacked again, Wade scored the second three-pointer in the second half for the Heat.

In this ball, Wade suddenly ran back and walked outside the three-point line, and Iguodala's reaction speed seemed to be a little slower than before.

So Wade got an excellent shooting opportunity.

If this were last season, even if Wade got the chance, he would have a high probability of not making three-pointers. But this season, Wade is still threatening three-pointers.

Wade's long drop into the net, and the Heat scored 6 points in a row, easily regaining the lead.

"It seems that the Miami Heat are playing easily in this scorching heat!" Hubby Brown became nervous and was scored by the opponent two three-pointers, which was not a good sign.

"After all, their team name is "heat". To them, it seems like they are fighting at home." Bill Simmons smiled proudly while fanning himself with his hands.

The Grizzlies were suppressed and overwhelmed on the court, but it was very rare to see! And this was exactly what Bill Simmons had been waiting for for a long time.

In the game after the third quarter, the Grizzlies made consecutive mistakes. As one of the teams with the least number of mistakes per game in the league, the Grizzlies' performance in the third quarter was undoubtedly very abnormal.

Fortunately, Link was always able to stop the loss in time when the Heat were about to widen the gap. His goals at critical moments allowed the Grizzlies to survive.

But the high-difficulty key ball undoubtedly accelerated Link's consumption.

After all, most of those goals Link scored were the crowded penalty area he held the ball and fought in hand-to-hand combat. Every time he scored, he had to pay a huge price.

As time goes by, the Heat, who have been unable to open the score for a long time, became anxious. When the Grizzlies were not adapting to the high temperature and made continuous mistakes, if the Heat could not seize this excellent opportunity, then in the fourth quarter, they themselves would become weak due to the high temperature.

Can't wait any longer!

Now that the Heat's three-pointer has been completely shot, the Grizzlies have begun to dare to shrink.

James knew that his chance had come! The space had been pulled apart, and he wanted to expand the gap with his own hands!

Now, the only trouble in front of James is Link. But the Heat No. 6 believes that Link should be exhausted enough now.

After all, the Grizzlies were supported by Link in the entire third quarter, and his consumption was greater than that of everyone present.

This time, James thought he could knock down Link!

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Heat led by 5 points. James' goal is to widen the score difference to double digits!

When Gasol's mid-range jump shot hit the iron due to his movement deformation, the long-awaited opportunity finally came!

He actively grabbed the rebound and decided to control the ball and advance. During the push, James raised his right hand and made several gestures.

He is directing his teammates to pull away for himself, and he wants to blow the score away!

In addition to James, who is in control of the ball, the other four people in the Heat really have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and have had three-point shooting records in the past two quarters.

So, although I know what James wants to do, the Grizzlies players can only be led by the nose.

If the Heat have completely opened the three-pointer, the Grizzlies will definitely pay the price.

The situation on the court is very clear. James holds the ball to beat Link on the outside of the three-point line! If Link can't stand it, James can easily score after breaking in.

Link lowered his center of gravity and his legs were slightly bay. Before James came up, he slapped the floor.

James didn't care about Link's actions. He thought Link was just bluffing. Now he couldn't have any strength left.

James slowed down in front of Link. He looked at the situation on the field. After the penalty area was completely hollowed out, James immediately broke through!

This time, James did not continue to use brute force to make a breakthrough. Just after the breakthrough, James used a move to complete the change!

James's change of direction was very sudden. He firmly believed that he could definitely shake off Link who slowed down his lateral movement.

However, James had just completed the change of direction, but found that Link was sticking on it like a sticky braised candy!

Link's lateral movement speed is still so fast!

"Yes, I know how to change the moves? It's a pity that you have changed forward for too long." After Link forced James to stop, he still sprayed trash words at James.

James did not respond, but gritted his teeth and leaned against Link to continue to break through!

But James did not squeeze into the basket as easily as expected, but Link's high wall strength defense did not weaken at all!

"Damn it!" Now, a hint of fear surged in James' heart.

In the third quarter, Link only took a minute to rest. And when he was there, the consumption was quite large.

But even so, won’t this guy feel tired!?

James had no choice but to push Link to the side of the basket because Link hit him, but he didn't hit him!

Although I just got a basketball, from a technical perspective, this is still a block!
To be continued...
