Five Hundred and Eighty-Two: The Change Brought About by Jimmy

The effect of Jimmy Butler can be said to be immediate. A successful defense sometimes not only makes the opponent scoreless, but can even create a successful offense.

Butler's desperate style made Wade suffer a loss. Link believed that Wade would definitely not dare to break through easily. Butler has used his tough defense to tell the Heat pressing king: "This road is difficult."

Link made a one-handed dunk on James' head, which made the atmosphere of the game hot again.

James is also a little unwilling. Now Link's physical fitness is indeed much better than before, and his ability to dunk directly on the move is very powerful.

The difference was narrowed to 3 points, but in fact this did not exceed the Heat's expectations. They know better than anyone that the Grizzlies are not so easy to beat.

The Heat continued to attack, and this time, James and Wade played a pass and cut.

James plays in the high post, waits for Wade to cut and then hits the ball in.

Janeway is still full of tacit understanding. When he was watching the game, he actually didn't feel that deep. But when Link actually confronted him on the basketball court, he realized how smooth the cooperation between the two was.

Wade cuts very quickly, and he's definitely a good layup in interference. As long as Wade can stay healthy for a while, he's a "five centimeters shorter Jordan."

However, this time, when Wade took three steps to prepare for a layup and just took off, the basketball was cut off by Jimmy Butler with quick eyes and hands!

"What!?" Wade's eyes widened in the air, he couldn't believe that he was actually stolen twice in a row by a small substitute!

Jimmy Butler often used this trick against Link in training, which is why Link's ball protection ability is so good.

Every time he jumps for a layup, he worries that Jimmy Butler will suddenly reach for a steal.

However, Wade, who does not often train with Butler, has less awareness of prevention.

By the time Wade landed, Butler had passed the basketball to Conley, and the Grizzlies had another chance to fight back!

Wade made two consecutive turnovers!

This time, the Heat responded quickly and retreated in a timely manner. And as the defending champions, they are very strategic in their retreat and positioning, and there is no random position.

It has to be said that the Heat's defense is actually stronger than expected, but their inside line is too weak, so it gives the illusion of "poor defense".

Conley had just pushed half-time when he was entangled by Chalmers. Although Chalmers has mediocre abilities, he still has positivity. Playing next to the Big Three, if you are not active, you may be replaced at any time.

Conley passed the ball to Link again, and Link faced James again. It seems that Link is against James, but in fact, the Heat team is already ready to move.

The Heat knew very well that if they wanted to defend Link, they had to borrow the strength of the entire team. Timely defense and double-teaming are the most effective ways to contain Link.

Their successful defense in the first quarter is proof.

So Link is not just against James, but against the entire Heat.

Link didn't even have stage fright. After Pau Gasol took cover, Link hit the penalty area again!

James quickly bypassed the cover and rejoined Link. With Bosh pulled out, James knew very well that Haslem alone couldn't stop Link.

At the same time, Link also found that Wade was moving towards him, and the Heat's defense really shrank again!

In the first quarter, the Heat successfully restrained Link with such a defensive strategy. Because even if Link passed the ball to Tony Allen, it would not help.

But now, things are very different. Heat actually shrink, it has to pay the price!

Jimmy Butler, not Tony Allen.

Link jumped high after reaching a deep position, and then three Heat players in dark red jerseys were seen jumping with them.

For a superstar of Link's level,

Being guarded by three people in the air is the norm.

But this time, Link didn't force it, but threw the ball behind his head casually in the air, without even looking behind him!

"Pass the ball without looking behind the head! Who will be the target of the pass?"

As soon as Hubie Brown finished speaking, he saw the young Jimmy Butler receiving a wonderful pass from Link from a step behind the free throw line.

Because of Wade going to cover Link, Butler is now unmarked!

"This pass is great, can Jimmy seize the opportunity!?"

Hubie Brown was in the same mood as most Grizzlies fans, and was a little worried. After all, Butler didn't play too much during the regular season, and people wondered about his offensive stability.

But Link knew very well that the kid's shooting had improved a lot!

Before Wade could react to where the ball went, Jimmy Butler made the shot.

"No way... how to pass it!" Wade prayed in his heart that the ball would never be scored, otherwise the ball would be his responsibility from offense to defense.

However, God has never been in control of what happened inside the FedEx Arena. Jimmy Butler was not nervous, and his shots were done very well.

The basketball hit the net, and the Grizzlies added two points! The Heat's strategy of double-teaming Link was officially declared a failure!

"Beautiful assists, beautiful goals, Jimmy Butler is not soft! Good, although he is only in the second year, although he is only playing in the finals for the first time, although he has only averaged less than 15 minutes per game before. But as long as When he is on the court, he is willing to fight and contribute to the team. This is the Jimmy Butler we are familiar with, and in the few rounds he played, he was able to perform in almost every round!"

Hubby Brown cheered, and Grizzlies fans must now love that young No. 21 to death.

During the regular season, Butler played several convincing games. Today, it seems that it will be another night that belongs to him!

Wade didn't hold the ball again this time. If it was just a coincidence that he was able to defend himself in one round, then if he was defended in two consecutive rounds, Wade must carefully weigh how much Jimmy Butler weighed.

If he doesn't take Butler seriously anymore, Wade knows that he will only suffer in the end.

Neither James nor Wade played, and Bosh finally got a chance to play in the post. But for Bosh, the Grizzlies are obviously not so nervous.

Indeed, in order to adapt to Wade and James, Bosh is indeed the biggest sacrifice in the Big Three. He rarely gets the opportunity to play in the post, and most of the time, in order to open up space for Janeway, he is reduced to the perimeter anti-aircraft battery.

But Bosh is not in good shape in the playoffs this year, and it is also a fact.

While Wade's bruised knee has recovered, Bosh's shooting percentage is still around 35 percent.

Whether as an insider or as a flak, Bosh's hit rate is substandard.

Now when it comes to the Heat, people will always think of Wade and James first. Bosh always has a feeling of being excluded. People seem to think that he is not a giant character.

In the playoffs, Bosh has only averaged 12 points per game, which is really unreasonable.

So seeing Bosh playing Gasol in the low post, Link was very relieved. Forcing Wade and James to give up offense is already a success!

In the end, Bosh's turnaround jumper was under the interference of the best defensive player Gasol, and the iron was expected.

Bosh's state is really bad, and he can't even share the offensive pressure for James and Wade.

Randolph's excellent card position allowed him to easily get the rebound, and Haslem had no chance at all.

The disadvantage of the Heat in the interior began to be gradually enlarged.

The second quarter of the game hit so far, the Heat have not scored yet! The Grizzlies overtake the score from the distance, and this attack is also short of it.

"Can the Grizzlies overtake the score? Now they are only 1 point away from overtaking the Heat!"

Hubie Brown and the thousands of fans behind him were looking forward to the moment when the Grizzlies overtook the score.

Once the game gets into the Grizzlies' rhythm, it's very difficult for the Heat to play.

This time, the Heat's defense obviously did not dare to take it too hard, and Jimmy Butler has already hurt the Heat.

Link then sat with his back to the mid-range position on the right, intending to single against James!

James really hates post-ups, whether it's defense or offense, he hates it.

As soon as he sees a post up, he thinks of the incredible Blues in 2011.

Although after that year, James' post-up skills have improved tremendously. However, he still didn't like it.

Link squeezed James with his back in an attempt to gain space. Wade was a little hesitant. He didn't know if he should go to double-team. Jimmy Butler has already hit a ball, and Wade dare not let him empty directly.

Just when Wade hesitated, Link suddenly rolled over and fell back, catching James by surprise!

The other people's turnaround and fallback jumpers are somewhat preparatory. But Link's just turning over and leaning back was too sudden, and there was no warning at all.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for even James to interfere with Link.

Wade hesitated, enough Link to kill the attack!

In the end, the Heat players could only watch the Grizzlies attack for the third time in a row, watch the basketball jump into the net, and watch them go from 5 points ahead to 1 point behind!

Wade shook his hand unwillingly. The original plan was to open the score in the second quarter. Now, it looks like the plan was in vain.

No wonder the Grizzlies have only lost 1 game so far, their ability to chase points is really strong!

And it all...seems to have started when Jimmy Butler got on the court. Since his appearance in the second quarter, the Grizzlies have not been stumped on both ends of the floor. Wade couldn't help but wonder, how many incredible guys are there in the Grizzlies?

After scoring the goal, Link ignored James and instead ran to Wade with a cheap smile on his face.

"What's up Dwyane? Pinned by a bench? That's not your style."

After waiting for so long, Link finally got a chance to fight back against the Heat.
