Drenched Like a Drowned Rat by the Three-Point Rain

The Miami Heat had come prepared today. If anyone thought this game was merely James trying to reclaim the spotlight, merely a battle between Link and James, they were sorely mistaken.

Today, the entire Heat team would fight for victory.

The image of the Heat falling short in last season's Finals was still deeply seared into every Heat player's mind.

As the greatest obstacle on the Heat's path to a championship, the Grizzlies were an opponent every member of the Heat wanted to defeat. From the coaches to the reserves, everyone hoped to find a way to contain the Grizzlies.

This was the Heat's final meeting with the Grizzlies before the Finals. Therefore, if the Heat could find a true way to contain the Grizzlies and win this game, they would gain the upper hand in the Finals.

If they waited until the Finals to experiment, it would be too late. Even though the Finals were a best-of-seven series and each team had seven games to work with, every additional loss in a championship-deciding Finals was extremely dangerous.

The Heat arrived at FedExForum with a brand-new strategy, and everyone would give everything they had to make it work.

This game was far more than a showdown between Link and James. Every member of the Heat was ready to go all out.

Just as James had said, this game was not about 72 wins. It was only about victory!

After Ray Allen hit the three-pointer, the fans in the stands did not seem affected at all and remained full of confidence.

The Grizzlies quickly struck back. Unlike the Heat, they immediately looked for Link. Link's play over the past seven games had been flawless, and everyone hoped he could keep his strong form going.

Facing James, Link planned to beat him
