Nine Hundred and One: Spicy Hotpot Show

"Damn, it's a crooked way!" Budenholzer was shocked. Who would have thought that Link would actually score the first goal of the game in that way.

It has to be said that Link is indeed a very anti-traditional superstar. It is no wonder that the alliance has tried its best to weaken Link's influence.

But just one goal doesn't explain anything. In a basketball game, the winner is the one who persists until the last minute.

The Eagles quickly attacked and attacked, which is the Eagle's strength.

The Hawks' offense looks plain and simple, consisting of nothing more than pick-and-rolls, passes and cuts, and open jumpers.

But this kind of offensive method is more efficient. In many cases, the Eagles will open up the point difference unknowingly.

Joger's response to this is to resolutely defend man-to-man.

He believes in the Grizzlies' individual defense capabilities. They may be the team with the most players selected to the All-Defensive Team in the league.

As long as they are not given space and openings, it will be difficult for the Eagles to move the ball.

Everyone on the Grizzlies does this. The Eagles' lineup does not have an offensive focus, but everyone can be an offensive focus.

In this case, let everyone enjoy the feeling of being taken care of.

The Eagles' offense is very fluid, with quick and accurate passing.

But after passing the ball for most of the day, there was no opening.

Finally, when Horford received the basketball in the high mid-range position, there was not much time left for the Hawks.

Horford didn't fight Whiteside head-on. He just took a feint shot, lifted Whiteside's center of gravity a little, then dribbled the ball through, ready to hit the basket!

Horford has quick feet and drives past Whiteside like a defender.

But just as he took off for a layup, Whiteside jumped up with all his strength and rushed forward without hesitation to block the shot!

“Try to use your athleticism to block the basket and don’t give them any easy opportunities to score.”

This was the second half of what Link said to Whiteside, and Whiteside obeyed it obediently.

Link knew very well;

The Eagles' roster is very lacking in athletic ability.

Whether it is Teague at No. 1 or Horford at No. 5, they are not the type to fly into the sky and escape.

Although Horford took off before Whiteside, Whiteside's bounce speed was faster than Horford's.

This allowed him to come from behind and hit Horford with a big shot!

"Snapped!"

The basketball made a crisp sound, and even the Eagles couldn't fly freely in the Grizzlies' no-fly zone!

"Whiteside was very active and completed the block without hesitation. This is the advantage of the Grizzlies. They are much stronger than the opponent in terms of athletic ability!"

After Horford landed, he looked back in surprise. He had clearly gotten rid of Whiteside and completed the breakthrough. It was an extremely reasonable offense!

The Hawks have the lowest shot-block rate in the league because they barely force a shot. Every attack should be based on reasonableness. He won't shoot easily unless he has an absolute chance.

But again, to deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, reasonableness alone is not enough.

Whiteside was indeed thrown away by half a body, but even so, Whiteside was able to make up the difference with his athleticism.

The chased basketball hit the backboard and bounced into Harris' hands. The Grizzlies counterattacked!

The strong Carroll immediately blocked Link's path, and the rest of the Eagles also acted immediately, preventing the counterattack from happening.

The game was once again dragged into a positional battle, which the Hawks are good at, but Budenholzer's confidence was no longer as high as before.

This time, Jimmy Butler broke through Korver's defense and forced his way to the basket.

With Horford's timely defense, Butler still chose to go for a layup.

But in the end, the referee awarded the Eagles a defensive foul and Butler got a free throw opportunity.

Once again, the Eagles defense made no mistakes. But there was also one time when the Grizzlies offense got it right.

Korver will always be between the opponent and the basket, and Horford will always be where he is needed most.

But this is not enough!

Butler made two free throws and the Grizzlies led 4-0. From the beginning, the Eagles played very passively.

Budenholzer now sees the difference between the two teams.

Indeed, the Eagles took their defense to the extreme.

But the Grizzlies players are used to surviving desperate situations.

They have played countless tougher games than this, and most of the time, their opponents actually made no mistakes.

In the regular season, maybe it's more about who makes fewer mistakes. But in the playoffs and finals, the competition is who can score without the opponent making mistakes!

The Grizzlies have been baptized by this kind of game many times, but for the Hawks, their experience in this area is very lacking.

In the next offense, Millsap went down the pick-and-roll, received a pass from Teague, and made a mid-range jumper.

Harris' defense was a step too slow to form effective interference.

Millsap let out a sigh of relief. He thought this goal could finally break the deadlock for the team.

However, as soon as Millsap threw the ball, his eyes instantly became dim.

Whiteside was waiting for him behind Harris early. After tasting the sweetness of his first block, he has become extremely confident.

"Big White Edge"'s take-off height is amazing. He directly knocked back Millsap's shot through Harris, just like playing volleyball.

Budenholzer was dumbfounded by the two explosions in a row!

"Whiteside blocked his shot for the second time in a row! God, this guy was full of energy today!"

Although the basketball eventually flew out of bounds and the ball still belonged to the Eagles, Hubie Brown on the commentary desk still had goosebumps all over his body.

In the past, only Link could perform such a good show of taking risks from other people.

Now, the Grizzlies have a second player who can do this.

Before the game, there were some voices saying that the reckless and rough Whiteside would be played around by Millsap and Horford, two high-profile insiders.

But facts have proven that in the face of absolute athletic ability advantage, a high ball quotient is not enough.

Now, the Grizzlies' interior deterrence has suddenly increased. There is no doubt that this will scare the Eagles' interior line.

Of course, it will also make them gradually forget that they are actually the side with the inside advantage!

Link asked Whiteside to take such great risks, not just to improve his statistics.

The Eagles took an inbounds pass, but this time Teague's pass to Carroll was intercepted midway by Link.

The Hawks' assist rate this season is second only to the Spurs, and they are one of the most pass-reliant teams in the league.

Frequent passing can allow the Hawks to get many open shooting opportunities, but similarly, too many passes will also increase the chance of the Hawks passing the ball wrong.

Once you figure out the Eagles' intentions, it's not difficult to steal.

Risked and stolen, the Eagles haven't taken any advantage from the beginning of the game to now.

They, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, seemed completely invincible in front of the Grizzlies.

After the steal, Link quickly went down and easily threw away Carroll and dunked.

6-0, Budenholzer had to stop the game. The Eagles, who are known for their high shooting percentage, have missed consecutively since the start!

Budenholzer knows that with the paint completely blocked, the Hawks must now seek opportunities outside the three-point line in advance.

If the point difference continues to be widened by the Grizzlies, the situation will become very passive.

He told his players that they must survive this difficult period.

"As long as we wait until Whiteside is replaced, we will turn our disadvantage into an advantage! Therefore, we must hold on to the score during this period!"

Budenholzer believes the Hawks' opportunity has yet to come. When the time comes, their counterattack will be fierce!

On the other side, Link was not worried at all, "It looks like you're having a great time, Hassan."

"Hey, I'm glad I listened to your advice." Whiteside, who easily blocked two shots, scratched his head happily.

Link patted Whiteside on the shoulder. He had lived up to himself today.

Now it makes Link's hands feel itchy, and he is ready to take the fifth position at any time.

Because it seems that playing the fifth position today will be very enjoyable...
