Eight Hundred and Sixty-Seven: Fill in the Data Table

The game has just started and Luol Deng is still adjusting his physical condition.

He knew that his opponent today was not ordinary. Although the guy hasn't played an official game for two weeks, no one dares to underestimate his energy.

The referee blew the whistle, and Luol Deng only saw Gasol shoot the basketball into the Grizzlies half.

But at this moment, a "lightning" flashed across Luol Deng's eyes.

By the time the British man reacted and was about to pursue him, he was completely behind him, and all he could see was the big number 0 on the man's back.

Conley quickly got the ball and passed the long ball to Link who suddenly attacked. No opportunity on the court can escape Conley's eyes.

When Link caught the basketball, Luol Deng was already chasing him.

The British man is 2.06 meters tall and has an impressive wingspan. When he first entered the league, he was known as a "British boy with excellent physique".

Deng's excellent physical condition gives him a unique advantage on the defensive end. Deng, who was with the Bulls, was one of James' least favorite small forwards in the Eastern Conference.

Although Luol Deng is now past his peak, he is no longer at the level of the top five small forwards in the Eastern Conference. But the experience and defensive awareness were still there, and he didn't leave much space for Link.

Luol Deng reached out to cover Link while preparing to retreat to defend Link from breaking through.

The British knew that their opponent today was extraordinary, so they were well prepared.

Just when he thought everything was safe, Link took two steps from the three-point line and suddenly stopped for a jumper!

Luol Deng was shocked. He thought that his defense of shooting was perfect, which could at least make Link feel fearful.

However, Link was not threatened at all!

Link's shot was very quick. Although Luol Deng immediately jumped to block it, he still left a gap for Link.

A goal that no one could react to was just born.

When Link scored, the Grizzlies players didn't even have time to get into position.

"Goal? Who can tell me what happened?" Hubie Brown looked confused. He didn't even see what happened.

Link raised his right arm high, the first ball after his comeback, and it felt very good.

Luol Deng was beaten so hard that he covered his head with his hands as soon as he came up. He thought that as long as he was patient, serious, and hardworking, he could restrain Link.

But with just the first attack, Link made Luol Deng experience deep despair.

"That guy has a strong desire to score today, but be careful!" Wade came up and patted Luol Deng on the back.

This scene will probably be repeated several times today...

After Link scored, he was not complacent. Instead, he was very focused on lowering his center of gravity and commanding his teammates to defend.

The Heat were not discouraged by losing a goal in the opening game, and their determination was not so fragile.

After the attack came, Wade immediately took action and used McRoberts' cover to seek opportunities in the mid-range.

After James left, Wade once again became the Heat's first choice on the offensive end.

He averaged three more shots per game than last season, and his scoring average also rose to 21.5 points, a new high in the past four years.

McRoberts and Wade played very well in the pick-and-roll. Butler was blocked solidly, and Tobias Harris had to switch defenses.

Seeing that it was Harris defending him, Wade immediately accelerated his breakthrough!

Wade is not like Link now. He can no longer explode with his lightning speed at the slightest disagreement like he did when he was young.

His breakthrough began to rely more on technique and rhythm changes.

This time, Wade pretended to take a mid-range jumper, slowed down and then accelerated sharply, catching Harris off guard.

During the breakthrough, Wade took the initiative to give Harris a confrontation, pushed the opponent away, gained a little space, and then prepared for a layup.

At this time, Gasol had been pulled outside the three-point line by Bosh, and the Grizzlies basket was very empty. Wade's goal seems to be a sure thing.

Just when Wade threw the basketball into the air, he suddenly found that there was no light under the basket, and Link's big hand blocked the sky from the side!

"No..." Wade was frightened by Link's jumping height. Did this guy have wings on his back?

I saw Link hovering in the air at an incredible height, and grabbed the basketball that Wade had just let go!

Capture, this very exaggerated way of blocking shots, is generally only possible by big players with long arms and powerful athletic ability.

The most typical one is a center like JaVale McGee, who can occasionally bring fake performances to the fans.

Of course, only occasionally. A player does not block many shots in a game, and it is even more difficult to catch risks during the few opportunities to block shots.

However, Link, as a third-position player with no outstanding height, incredibly managed to catch the basketball in the air.

Everyone in the audience was stunned, and no one expected this sudden and exciting scene.

"This...did you see it!? Not only did Link jump very high, but at the highest point, the scene seemed to be frozen!" Chris Webber was so shocked that he was speechless.

After Link grabbed the ball with one hand and landed on the ground, he immediately passed the ball to launch a counterattack.

He was actually aiming for a normal block at first, but after jumping up, Link found that he seemed to be able to catch the ball directly, so he did so.

Before the game, Judy Seto told Link that his body was at its peak.

But Link himself didn't expect that this peak state would be so terrifying!

Relying on Link's catch, Conley succeeded in a quick throw and easily counterattacked.

4-0, the Grizzlies got off to an extremely smooth start. Link has also scored 2 points, 1 assist and 1 block, and his versatility has been fully demonstrated.

Wade looked back at Link, who had just caught him, and swallowed.

Did that guy really just come back from injury?

"Keep going, guard them to death, don't leave any gaps!" Link continued to clap his hands and yell, and all the Grizzlies players immediately became alert again.

Under the tight marking of the Grizzlies, the Heat passed the ball for a while and ran several tactics, but failed to get a chance.

In the end, Bosh had to beat Gasol in the low post.

But the Spaniard's defense could not be easily broken. Bosh's hasty jumper missed all sight and hit the side of the basket.

Link actively ran up to protect the rebound, leaving Luol Deng without any chance to grab the offensive rebound.

"Link is very excited today, every round." Hubie Brown looked at Link's data sheet that filled up instantly and became sweaty.

Link did not deliberately brush up the data. From the beginning of the game to now, every decision Link made was the best choice at the time.

But his data can rise to surprising levels without even realizing it.

This time, facing Luol Deng's defensive defense, Link did not force the ball, but gave the opportunity to Jimmy Butler.

Butler carried Wade and went inside, but he obviously underestimated Wade's defensive ability.

Wade is indeed old, but he is not useless.

Wade reached out and jumped at the right time, pressing his palm firmly on Butler's ball.

Although he failed to directly slap Butler's basketball away, he still succeeded in getting the basketball away.

In any case, this is regarded as Wade's blocking.

After Luol Deng picked up the out-of-control basketball, he immediately found Cole who was running at the front, hoping that Norris Cole would seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Cole successfully caught the basketball, but as soon as he turned around and prepared to rush forward, he found Link standing in front of him.

"What!?"

Before Cole could realize what was going on, Link reached out and stole the basketball!

Before Cole caught the basketball, Link stood in the best stealing position in advance. Cole was equivalent to bumping into him and being robbed.

The Heat's new starting point guard is still too immature in front of Link.

Link completed the steal, and the Heat players had to retreat immediately as they were about to participate in the counterattack.

Logically speaking, this is an opportunity to get inside and score points.

But Link stopped outside the three-point line and made an emergency three-pointer!

Luol Deng watched Link take action confidently and even forgot to reach out to interfere.

Because he knows that doing so will not help.

"Bang! Link hit a three-pointer. In just a few rounds, Link scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal. This guy completely filled out his data sheet. Full, there’s nothing he can’t do!”

"Yes, Link has returned with a strong force. He seems to have escaped from Elba Island and made the whole of Europe terrified. Now, Link's return must make the entire alliance ashamed!"

Spoelstra had to call a timeout in advance. Based on his experience against the Grizzlies in the Finals in the past two years, the Filipino coach knew this.

When Link played like this, the Heat were already close to death.
