One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Two: I Don’t Want to Start a Tug-of-War

Dillon Brooks' toughness is indeed admirable. Although his physical talent is inconspicuous in the NBA, a place where "birds and beasts" gather, he will always be one of the hardest-working players.

The Grizzlies completed the lead, and now everyone is looking forward to the Heat's counterattack.

Although the Grizzlies played with stronger momentum in the two rounds just now, the Heat are also a team that can fight tough battles.

Most people still believe this will be an anxious tug-of-war.

Of course, Link didn't think so.

He didn't want to drag the game to the end today. A quick decision would be a cancer for the ratings, but it was also the fastest way to solve the problem.

This time, Adebayor was obviously much more cautious.

Link's steal just made him feel more pressure, and he didn't even dare to pass the ball rashly.

At FedEx Arena, any careless pass can turn into a turnover.

When Adebayo organized the offense in the mid-range, everyone on the Grizzlies team tightly focused on their opponent.

This made Adebayor very embarrassed. The ball was in his hands for a long time and he couldn't pass it out.

In the end, Adebayor chose to dribble through and then shoot.

Although Adebayor's skills are exquisite, this goal is still a bit too forced.

Adebayor's throw missed due to Jokic's interference, and the Heat's team offense has shown a momentum of being contained.

Regarding the defensive team's offense, the Grizzlies also have considerable experience.

After all, the Grizzlies repeatedly defeated the Spurs in the Western Conference, who pushed the team's offense to the extreme, and were able to join the Heat in the Finals.

Unexpectedly, now the Heat are playing team offense on their own.

At first glance, a team that plays a team offense seems to have no solution, but if the opponent has no defensive holes in the five positions, the team offense will be difficult to play.

The Grizzlies happen to be a team with almost no defensive weaknesses.

Although Conley's state has declined somewhat seriously this season, his defensive level is still not low.

Playing against a team like the Grizzlies,

You just need a strong offensive point to run rampant in order to clear a way for others.

It's a pity that the Heat have no plans to let Butler hold the ball to solve the problem.

Besides, even if Spoelstra really lets Butler start scoring mode, whether he can pass Link's level is another matter.

The Heat's consecutive misses caused their originally high morale to drop a bit.

Kendrick Nunn was the most injured. After the start of the game, he managed to play a strong attack, but it suddenly came to an abrupt end. It was really a waste of expression.

Moreover, Nunn is in a very bad mood now.

Nunn was very unwilling after being provoked by Link. Although he is indeed a first-year rookie, he is still 24 years old after all.

It’s weird to be happy when someone calls you a brat at the age of 24.

Nunn stared at Link, thinking about how to respond.

But now it's the Grizzlies' turn, and he can only bear the attack silently now.

After two rounds of offense, Link finally got the basketball on the offensive end this time.

Jimmy Butler got into the fight the moment Link caught the ball and was very tough.

As expected of being from the Grizzlies, he also started out on defense, and he is really unambiguous on the defensive end.

Kendrick Nunn is very aware of how abnormal Butler's defensive level is. As teammates, they often play practice games in training and play against each other almost every day.

Butler's defense, in Nunn's opinion, is suffocating.

He has also played more than 20 official games in the NBA. However, he has never encountered anyone who is better defensively than Butler.

Nunn thought to himself that even Link would not be able to score easily on Butler's head.

As long as Butler can prevent this ball and he makes a quick counterattack, it will be considered a response to Link!

"Little brat? Don't underestimate us!" Nunn geared up and stared at Butler and Link.

At this moment, Link made a few triple-threat moves lightly and then suddenly pulled up a jumper from outside the three-point line.

The basketball passed Butler's fingertips, and then...then it went in.

Nunn:? ? ?

That's it? That's how you get in?

No dribbling, no confrontation, just feinting on the spot a few times and then shooting directly, and it went in?

"A beautiful three-pointer. Link's triple threat action made Jimmy a little hesitant, so he was half a beat slow when he interfered. Although he only got a slight gap, it was enough for Link. The Heat were 5 points behind. Yes, they have a tendency to drive high and go low.”

Until he saw Link raising his right arm and showing three fingers, and seeing Butler shaking his head helplessly, Nunn couldn't believe that this was true.

Jimmy Butler, the super defensive expert in his mind, was defeated so easily by Link!

Nunn swallowed, how strong is Link!

Why didn't you feel it the last time the two sides fought?

Nunn was a little panicked now. He felt that Link seemed to be deliberately showing off his skills in front of him...

Link's effortless goal shocked the hearts of the Heat's youngsters.

It would surprise anyone to watch the strongest guy on their team get beaten so easily.

After that, Duncan Robinson fired a three-pointer from the right corner, ready to retaliate, but Dillon Brooks immediately interfered with the shot.

Most teams don't care about Duncan Robinson, an undrafted player who averaged only 3.3 points per game last season and shot less than 30% from three-point range.

But the Grizzlies are different. The Grizzlies themselves started with low-ranked rookies and undrafted draft picks, so they don't have any sense of superiority.

Even if the opponent is just an undrafted player, Joger will take it seriously.

Therefore, he specially arranged a targeted defensive strategy for Duncan Robinson and defended him as a top shooter.

And Dillon Brooks is a player with very strong execution ability. It is perfect to use him to deal with off-ball shooters like Duncan Robinson who have relatively few variables.

As long as he follows the coach's instructions, it will not be difficult to block the space for shooters without the ball.

Spoelstra frowned when the Heat's offense fumbled again.

The Grizzlies' defense is indeed too strong. From Conley to Jokic, everyone's ability to defend alone or assist is above the league average.

Spoelstra is now thinking about whether to let Jimmy Butler take over the game early.

But before the Filipino coach could make a decision, Link scored again.

This time, in order to prevent Link, a pervert with unlimited range, from suddenly shooting, Butler shortened the distance between him and Link.

So, Link went down the slope and used breakthrough to deal with his former little brother.

Link originally broke through to Butler's left, but after mobilizing Butler's center of gravity, Link suddenly changed direction while traveling!

The speed of this change of direction was so fast that Nunn was stunned and made Rose seem to see himself in the MVP period.

This is a change of direction without slowing down!

But you know, Link is almost 32 years old. But he still didn't feel any pressure when completing this physically demanding action.

He is worthy of being a man on par with “gods”!

Shocked, Nunn left Conley's side, intending to lean over and take a hand.

At this time, Link was rushing towards Nunn. As we all know, it is easiest to get the ball when the opponent suddenly assists the defense in the process of dribbling and breaking through.

This law can be applied from the basketball court to the NBA.

Therefore, Nunn also wanted to give it a try. If he really made Link make a mistake... then he would definitely make up for all the humiliation in front of Link!

Link approached at high speed, seemingly unaware of Nunn.

Nunn concentrated on the moment, then stretched out his arm.

"Eh?"

The moment Nunn made his move, the basketball and Link "disappeared" from before his eyes.

Nunn only felt a gust of wind blowing across his face. He froze on the spot and showed no reaction.

At this moment, Nunn realized that he had no idea how to speed.

"Two consecutive changes of direction without slowing down, Link's breakthrough was so wonderful! Adebayor defended to the basket, Link used a beautiful pull-up layup to avoid the block... and scored. ! Link avoided the defense of three members of the Heat team at one time, and this goal definitely booked a place in the top five goals!"

Hubie Brown stood up in excitement. This was a complete display of Link's personal ability.

No, it’s showing off!

The score difference became 7 points, and the Heat were pressed to the ground and rubbed as soon as they came up.

After the goal, Link spread his hands towards Nunn: "It's a good idea, but you have to know that these tricks are all leftover from my play. Come on, you are just a little bit short of guarding me."

Nunn had always thought that he was a person who was fearless, but at this moment, he felt that Link was like a huge shadow, making him afraid to breathe.

Now, Nunn understands the true meaning of the title "The league's number one is not easy to mess with."

In front of Link, a truly ruthless character, you really shouldn't call yourself a villain.

Butler gritted his teeth and allowed Link to score in two consecutive rounds, which he did not expect.

He could tell that Link wanted to open up the score as soon as possible.

He had no patience today and the heat ran out to the end.

It seems that he will definitely take over the game as early as possible today.

Then the Heat attacked, and Nunn obviously got a good mid-range shot opportunity.

But when he saw Link rushing towards him, Nunn was so frightened that he immediately threw a stick...

Butler shook his head. The boy was completely crushed by Link, and the good state in yesterday's training was wiped out.

Jokic directly caught the air ball and quickly passed it to Link for a direct counterattack.

The entire Heat defense gathered and shrank with Link. However, after Link rushed to the basket, he flicked the ball beyond the three-point line and threw it into the hands of JaMychal Green.

Jemichael. There are hot spots outside the three-point line. Green hit this three-pointer steadily without being marked. With three shots and five divided by two, Link turned the point difference to 10 points.

By the way, it also caused a rookie who thought he was a bad boy to become completely autistic.

Spoelstra stopped the game, and the Grizzlies' offense was stronger than he imagined.

The system that the Heat rely on to survive is obviously unable to deal with the Grizzlies. Next, Spoelstra needs to let the stars take over the game and let Butler lead the team out of the encirclement.

But can Butler really withstand Link's offensive?

Spoelstra swallowed, feeling really unsure...
