: 583: Group of 2

When Link scored again, the Heat found that it was impossible for them to regain their advantage in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Jimmy Butler's appearance completely changed the situation.
Once Link gets a chance for singles, he will not be soft. Even if the person who defended him alone is James, Link will use the most superb skills to defeat the opponent.
The Grizzlies' offense has finally been revitalized, and on the defensive end, they no longer care about one and the other. Throughout the second quarter, Link and Butler seemed to be the shadow of James and Wade.
They also played a number of wonderful cooperation, also came up with enough outstanding performance. This Grizzlies duo looks really like a "Jianwei connection".
But James and Wade, who were genuine, were suppressed for a while and made their heads look a little bit.
Wade did not take advantage of Butler. The "Flash" faced the young and energetic Butler and played very hard offensively.
Butler is no better than Nick Young, not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch. A person who is "tortured" by Link in the training hall every day will not be afraid of any attack.
Offensively, Butler's performance is also quite eye-catching. Whenever Link gets into a double-team, Butler can hit the shot he should have made.
So afterwards, Wade dared not let Butler directly. However, it was too late. Butler, who had already played offensively, was still able to score goals under Wade's one-on-one defense!
The second quarter of the game is like a replica of the first quarter. The duo still dominated the game, but the duo that dominated the game changed from James and Wade to Link and Butler.
"At the end of the game, the Grizzlies ended the first half with a 7-point advantage! From behind by 5 points to leading by 7 points, the Grizzlies made a textbook counterattack! Link and Butler combined to score 22 They make Wade and James helpless!"
Hubby Brown was the first to stand up and cheer after the electronic buzzer sounded at the end of the half game.
The old man was very excited because he saw more than just a beautiful second quarter and a 7-point lead.
What he saw was the possibility of a top duo in the future!
When talking about the famous duo in the NBA, people always think of Jordan and Pippen, Kobe and O'Neal, Malone and Stockton, and James and Wade.
But if the Butler boy can really keep up this momentum... Hubie Brown believes that Link and Butler's names may be included in the future.
If the regular season cannot meet the true level of a player, then today, in the finals, facing the top opponents, Jimmy Butler has fully utilized his potential!
In the half game, Butler scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, showing a very strong performance.
And Link's 10 points in a single quarter in the second quarter also allowed him to overtake James and Wade in personal scoring to 16 points.
Wade and James almost misfired in the second quarter, taking only 4 and 5 points respectively. Had it not been for the "Junzi Lei" who came off the bench to make a difference outside the three-point line and continued the excellent feel of the previous game against the Pacers, the Heat should now be double digits behind.
"Good job Jimmy, the goal you just scored in breaking through Wade was wonderful. In the second half, I need you to continue to stand up." When Link left the field, he patted Butler on the shoulder with joy, making Butler. All a little embarrassed.
Randolph chuckled silently. Link was right. Butler had been preparing for this day long enough. Those mornings when he came to the training hall silently in advance were not in vain.
In the second half, Wade and James seemed to break the gate suddenly, playing very poorly on the offensive end.
James seems to want to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, so the second half mainly focuses on passing and organization, and the desire to attack independently is not too strong.
The Heat 6 has not forgotten what he said, as long as the Heat are united, there is nothing that cannot be done. He has not forgotten how the Heat won the Eastern Conference Finals tiebreaker.
If you can play more blooming performances, then there is hope for the Heat today.
But today, the rest of the Heat really didn't score. Bosh received the ball from the basket several times. In the end, he was either blocked or disturbed. Three-pointers and mid-range also ended up with irons.
Wade's breakthrough is also greatly reduced under Butler's defense. Although he pumped water in his knees, Wade's state is certainly not able to return to its peak. Originally, Wade's projection was unstable, but now the breakthrough is still restricted, and suddenly "the original shape is revealed".
The Heat can only use sporadic resistance to deal with the Grizzlies' offense, but that's not enough.
After the three quarters, James' data is only 3 assists away from the triple-double. However, the Heat are 11 points behind the Grizzlies!
"The point difference is continuously being pulled apart. LeBron must take up the task of scoring! It is not easy to reverse 11 points on the Grizzlies. I don't think LeBron will be willing to give up his first loss!"
Everyone guessed that James will start offensive mode in the fourth quarter. However, James' approach is quite different from everyone's guess.
He is still trying to connect teams.
Seeing this, Hubie Brown shook his head. The Grizzlies gained their first victory in the finals in team history, which is basically stable.
In the third quarter, although James didn't score many points, he had some brilliant passes. But in the fourth quarter, James even started to miss the pass.
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, James made a breakthrough to find Ray Allen outside the three-point line. The aggressive Butler rushed back immediately, with his arms stretched out, and he pocketed the basketball.
In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, James gave Norris Cole the last 3 seconds. Cole was completely covered by Conley outside the three-point line and couldn't even make a shot. In the end, the Heat violated 24 seconds, which is also counted as a mistake.
A minute later, James was ready to pass to Bosh after a breakthrough. However, the penalty area has been packed, and there is no passing space at all. Gasol subconsciously stretched out his hand, allowing James to swallow his third turnover in the fourth quarter!
With three turnovers in such a short period of time, James exploded somewhat.
The Grizzlies had already responded, and they rushed to block James' passing route in the fourth quarter. It's no accident that MVP made so many mistakes.
Consecutive mistakes mean that the Grizzlies continue to counterattack. When James came back to his senses, the Heat had fallen behind the Grizzlies by 16 points!
"There are 3 minutes left in the game to end, but the Heat are already 16 points behind! Although LeBron can get a triple-double with just one assist, even if he gets it, it will be meaningless! Look at the surrounding stands, The Grizzlies fans are ready to celebrate the victory in advance!"
Spoelstra used up his penultimate timeout before the last three minutes. When the game was stopped, James did not leave immediately, but looked at the big screen.
Afterwards, the Heat dropped his head on the 6th and walked to the bench.
He thought that the Grizzlies would be as young as last year's Thunder, and he only needed a little seriousness to defeat them.
But now that the game has been played, James vaguely feels that this team is a bit like the Blues in 2011.
They are strong, do not give up easily, and are struggling to survive~EbookFREE.me~Of course, the most important thing is that they have an equally incomprehensible leader.
In the last three minutes, the Heat did not play any decent offensive. The Grizzlies defended steadily and finally survived to the end.
, With the help of the garbage time Norris Cole's three-pointer, the Heat reduced the final game point difference to single digits and saved a little face.
At the end of the game, Link just smiled and didn't react too much. After all, this is just a staged victory, not even a final victory.
Link looked at the data on the big screen, reached out and touched Butler's head, "Good job, brother."
Butler had 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 blocked and 2 steals, and Link had 29 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocked and 2 steals.
The two scored 50 points today, which is almost half of the Grizzlies team's score!
In contrast to the Heat, although James grabbed an exaggerated 18 rebounds and sent 10 assists, but only 18 points, certainly not in line with James' expectations.
Wade scored 9 points in a single quarter in the first quarter. As a result, he scored only 17 points in the game. In the fourth quarter, he was defended by Butler and scored 1 for 5. This was really aggrieved.
Not to mention Bosh, who made only 6 of 16 shots and hit less than 40% from the field. His performance was still sluggish.
The performance of the Big Three was completely obscured by the light of Link and Butler.
After this game, in the player tunnel, James shook his head vigorously. It seems that the Heat want to keep the whole team in shape, not every day. If you want to connect forcibly, you may not be able to connect.
Otherwise, the Eastern Conference Finals will not be delayed until the tie-break.
James clenched his fist, and since the pass doesn't work, come hard! As the MVP, the next game, he should shoot himself.
