Nine Hundred and Two: I Really Can’t Stand It.

Six minutes into the first quarter, the Atlanta Hawks were still 6 points behind the Grizzlies.

Since being beaten 6-0 by the Grizzlies at the beginning, the Hawks have fallen into a passive situation.

At first glance, a 6-point difference is nothing remarkable, it is just a matter of two three-pointers.

But when you really want to chase points on the Grizzlies, you realize how difficult it is.

For Budenholzer and the Hawks players, this may be the most difficult 6 points they have ever chased.

At this point, the game enters a timeout.

Qiaogel held the tactical board and glanced at Link meaningfully.

Link immediately became excited. A new challenge has finally arrived!

"Hassan, you played well. Now you have to rest for a few minutes. Link, after the timeout is over, you take the fifth position. You only need to hold on for about three minutes, and I will replace you and take a rest."

Joger finally started to implement his plan. At this time, not only Link, but everyone on the Grizzlies team was inexplicably excited.

The Grizzlies' plan is to use Link to play the five position for a few minutes. Wait for Whiteside to rest for a few minutes, then let Whiteside take over for Link to continue playing, and then Link will start to take a complete rest.

In this way, the Grizzlies will not have a "break" in the fifth position.

Whether it's Link or Whiteside, in short, the Grizzlies will always have someone at the five position. Moreover, it also ensures that the two of them have time to rest.

But the Grizzlies' plan is not just as simple as letting Link play the five position.

When Link also plays at the 5th position, the entire style of play of the Grizzlies will change!

Therefore, not only Link, but all players on the Grizzlies team are looking forward to the next game.

If they fail, they will become the laughingstock of the world.

But if the fight is successful, everyone believes that it will cause a huge sensation!

The timeout ended quickly. Joger looked at everything and waved his hand.

Quin Snyder is a little nervous because of everything the Grizzlies are doing now.

It's so unconventional.

But Qiaogel disagrees. As long as you can win, who says you have to follow the rules?

"The game restarted, and the Hawks were still 6 points behind the Grizzlies. With this small gap, the Hawks couldn't get over it, as if they were under a spell. Wait...the Grizzlies used An Andre Iguodala replaced Hassan Whiteside! Their center is off, this is the Atlanta Hawks' opportunity!"

When Mike Breen found out that the Grizzlies had made a substitution, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Now the Grizzlies only have Whiteside as a pure insider, so even if Jorge has extraordinary abilities, it is impossible to change the Grizzlies' inside disadvantage.

Budenholzer finally regained his energy. After being suppressed for so long, it was finally time to fight back!

Now, the Grizzlies' lineup has become Conley, Butler, Link, Iguodala and Harris.

Everyone thought that Harris would continue to play the fifth position as he did in the last game, with Iguodala at the fourth position.

The Grizzlies' lineup is equivalent to one guard paired with four forwards, which is not too weird.

"This lineup... is really too small. There is no pure insider among the five people. I have to say that this is a very bold attempt."

Mike Breen also curled his lips, and it looked like it would be time for the Eagles to feel proud.

"Attack the paint, attack the paint!" Budenholzer yelled at the players on the sidelines. He regained the confidence he had at the beginning of the game.

Horford is also full of confidence. In the past six minutes, he was suppressed miserably by Whiteside.

Now, I can finally show off my skills in the low post!

A mere Tobias Harris is nothing to be afraid of.

The Hawks started to attack, Conley stuck to Teague, and Butler was still guarding Korver.

These two points have not changed from just now, but the next confrontation surprised Budenholzer and everyone in the audience.

Iguodala ran in front of Carroll, while Tobias Harris defended Millsap, who was not as tall as himself.

Iguodala and Harris are not as expected, one playing the four position and the other playing the five position.

When Horford sank inside, he discovered that it was Link who was defending him!

Everyone's eyes widened, including Mike Breen and Hubie Brown, who had always been able to accurately analyze the situation on the court immediately.

The two experienced commentators were stunned for a few seconds before saying in surprise, "The Grizzlies actually asked Link to play the five position!?"

A center of 2.03 meters, a power forward of 2.06 meters... This is undoubtedly a very small lineup!

Link immediately pressed against Horford's back, preventing him from pressing back easily.

Although Horford was also a little surprised, now was not the time to be surprised. He struggled to take the position, but found that wrestling with Link was not an easy task.

It's not much easier to push forward than when playing against Whiteside.

Before Horford could secure his position, Teague sent the ball to Horford.

Horford caught the ball with his back in the mid-range and faced off with Link.

No. 5 vs. No. 3, everyone knows this is a big mismatch.

But I don’t know why, everyone seems to feel that Horford doesn’t have much advantage...

Link held Horford hard, and he had to admit that the experience of suddenly running inside to fight was not a good one.

If he does this for a few more rounds, Link probably won't have much strength on the offensive end.

In fact, this is also the reason why there are not many short insiders. It's not that they can't bear it, but it's just that the consumption is too great.

Unless someone like "Big Ben" Ben Wallace is a pure inside player, little guys are generally not allowed to fight hand-to-hand.

Think about it, putting James in the fifth position only to have his offense weaken due to lack of physical strength. This is totally a waste.

Therefore, even when the Heat's internal reserves are at their weakest, Spoelstra will not put James in the fifth position for physical combat.

But Link doesn't have to worry about that today, because he won't be playing the fifth position for too long. It only takes a few rounds to complete the task.

Horford continued to squeeze Link with his back, but the distance advanced was almost negligible.

Just turn over and shoot? If it was Yao Ming who was facing Link now, then he could indeed do this.

Although Link was right behind him, with Yao Ming's height, Link couldn't interfere at all.

But Horford is not Yao Ming. He is a short center, a short center whose official height is 2.08 meters, but the actual height is about 2.06 meters.

If he turns over and shoots a jump shot, he will not only be disturbed, but may even be blocked directly!

Horford was embarrassed. In this set of dislocations, he couldn't seem to find any advantage!

In the end, Horford chose to turn his back and break through, hoping to use his greater tonnage to force Link to the basket.

But as soon as Horford turned around while dribbling, he found that the basketball was out of his hands!

Horford's dribbling is considered good at the five position, but in Link's eyes... forget it.

Link easily completed the steal, but the Eagles did not get the expected inside advantage!

Horford was completely defeated in the confrontation with Link, and he was even a little helpless.

Budenholzer's expression was very exciting. One second ago, he was obviously full of confidence. But the next second, he immediately frowned and showed shock.

Horford didn't impress Link? What a joke! ?

Link didn't joke with Budenholzer, but passed the ball the moment he succeeded in stealing the ball.

The Grizzlies' small roster means a lot of mobility. The moment Link completed the steal, all four Grizzlies ran towards the frontcourt.

With Link playing the fifth position, the Grizzlies have changed their entire offensive style!

Iguodala received Link's pass and burst forward with the ball.

The Eagles' defense shrank instantly, but Iguodala passed the ball to Tobias Harris who was ambushing in the corner.

"Harris is already in place. The Grizzlies offense is in position very quickly. Their speed is incredible!"

Hubie Brown felt that his commentary speed could not keep up with the Grizzlies' counterattack. As soon as he finished speaking, Harris took action and hit the open shot.

The score difference became 9 points, and the time for the Eagles has still not come!

Link clapped hard to encourage all his teammates. This counterattack speed is really enjoyable.

For some reason, Link suddenly felt like he was playing for the Warriors...

Budenholzer swallowed.

The Hawks have indeed defeated many teams with superstars, but Link is completely different from other superstars.
