Nine Hundred and Three: The Name of This Move Is...

The Grizzlies' quick counterattack put the Hawks behind by 9 points in an instant. One more point and the point difference would be widened to double digits.

Although the first quarter of the game is not over yet, the Eagles still have a lot of time. Even if they are really behind by double digits, there is no need to worry too much.

But Budenholzer is very nervous now, because in that round just now, the Hawks did not gain the advantage they expected.

In a blink of an eye, the Grizzlies successfully executed one offense and one defense. The Eagles players were a little confused and looked at their coach at a loss.

Budenholzer nodded slightly, signaling everyone to carry out the original plan.

At the same time, Budenholzer walked up to Macedonia center Pero Antic and said, "Get ready to play!"

Antic nodded, stood up and walked to the technical table.

Pero Antic is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 118 kilograms. With a bald head, a big beard, and big arms, he looks very tough in appearance.

Compared to Horford, his image is more like a powerful inside man.

Since Horford can't get the height advantage over Link, let Antici take over!

But substitutions must also wait for the next dead ball. Now, the Eagles must find a way under the original configuration.

Horford did not continue to sit in the low post and play singles with Link this time. He is not an impulsive person. You will not fall into repeated failures because of anger.

This time, Horford chose to cover with his teammates.

The Grizzlies are weak inside, so they don't necessarily have to let the center play one-on-one in the low post. They can also let outside players attack the basket.

Moreover, Horford's shooting range can extend beyond the three-point line. If Link directly chases the basket, Horford is sure to convert the open opportunity into a score.

The Hawks did exactly that. Horford set a screen for Teague, who accelerated around the screen and broke through.

Link didn't hesitate, he immediately followed Teague and chased after him. On the contrary, Conley stayed in front of Horford, and the two of them switched defenses in perfect harmony without any hesitation!

Seeing Link chasing after him, Teague prepared to pass the ball back to Horford.

But when I turned around, I saw that the passing route had been intercepted by Conley, and Conley's position was just right!

do not forget,

Conley has also been selected to the All-Defensive Team.

There is no way, Teague's only option now is to bite the bullet.

He thought to himself that Link was never a pure center, and his blocking ability at the basket shouldn't be that scary.

But as soon as Teague took off, he realized how wrong he was.

This is a no-fly zone, whether Whiteside or Link is guarding it, this is a no-fly zone.

Before Teague could throw the ball, Link slapped the ball onto the backboard.

Teague swallowed in the air. It seemed like they would never be able to fly out of the Grizzlies' blockade at the basket today.

"It was fooled. The Hawks' attempt to attack the Grizzlies inside failed again! Although the Grizzlies currently have no inside line, Link has effectively protected the basket twice! Today, Link's effect at the fifth position is better than the previous one. Harris is much better playing the five position!"

Seeing Link nailing the ball ruthlessly, the black and white bears in suits couldn't help but stand up and start applauding.

Gasol looked at Randolph, showing his white teeth, "If this continues, we will lose our jobs, hahahaha!"

Randolph shrugged, "No, at least we can still be Link's sparring partners."

After Link blocked the shot and landed, he immediately launched a long pass from the backcourt.

The Grizzlies' quick counterattack starts again!

The basketball was as accurate as a long-range missile and fell directly into Conley's hands.

Conley made a fake pass to the left corner while walking, but actually knocked the ball to his crotch and passed it to Jimmy Butler who was following behind.

The latter took off with both feet and smashed the ball into the frame.

At 11 minutes, the collapse happened so suddenly that Budenholzer didn't even realize what was going on!

At the reminder of the assistant coach, Budenholzer called a timeout. He needed to make new substitutions and rearrange the offense. The most important thing is that the tall and powerful Antic needs to be put on the court.

As for the Grizzlies, no adjustments were made except for Butler being replaced by Carter and Conley being replaced by Dellavedova.

Antichi? Qiaogel believes that Antiqi is no match for Link!

"Both sides have made substitutions, and Macedonian center Antic has appeared! If Link continues to play the fifth position, his height disadvantage will be infinitely magnified!"

Link stared at his large opponent and took two deep breaths.

Although Antic is tall, he only averaged 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season, and his data has declined compared to his rookie season.

Antic landed in the NBA from Europe last year through a free agent signing, and he didn't even participate in the draft.

All these things prove one thing-Antic is not a talented player. Real European talents have long been discovered by scouts and participated in the draft.

Antic is a substitute blue-collar player, and he is not a strong one among blue-collar players. His biggest role is to allow Horford to take a breath.

A blue-collar worker with little strength. Thinking of this, Link instantly became less nervous.

Just because you're big doesn't mean you really have an advantage. Back then, Ben Wallace had already proven this with a championship ring and the Best Defensive Player trophy.

Link doesn't dare to say that his strength and core strength are comparable to that of Big Ben, but it should be enough to deal with Antiqi!

The game restarted, and the Eagles' strategy was still the same as before, hitting the inside hard!

They had no intention of hiding their intentions and handed the ball to Antic as soon as they came up.

Link was supported behind Antiqi. His body was two sizes smaller than the opponent.

Antic felt Link's defense with his back, it was very tough!

The Macedonian did not intend to fight hard. He wanted to overcome strength with softness and use his height and soft touch to break the deadlock.

So, Antic did not dare to lean back in the big fight, but chose to turn over and shoot a jumper!

One characteristic of the Eagles' lineup is that their substitute players are all "poor versions" of the main players. In this way, even if the Eagles are on the second team, they don't have to worry about not being able to execute their tactics.

Antic is the "poor man's version" of Horford. He has an extremely long range and his career record is four three-pointers in a single game.

Of course, things like turning over and shooting jumpers are not a problem for him.

Antic is very confident. He is 8 centimeters taller than Link. He believes that he cannot be disturbed.

But just like Teague just thought that Link couldn't block him, he was totally wrong!

Antici is indeed tall, but his shooting movement is too slow, giving Link enough time to take off and interfere!

Link jumped with all his strength and stretched out his long arms. These two items were enough for Link to fill the 8cm height gap between the two sides.

Although Link couldn't slap away Antic's shot like he just did with Teague, he still seriously interfered with the Macedonian.

Although Antic can shoot, he is a blue-collar guy after all and his personal abilities are limited. After being seriously interfered by Link, Antic's turnaround jumper ended in a blacksmith.

"Still missed. Link seemed to be the patron saint of the basket, causing all the Hawks' plans to create trouble in the three-second zone to fail! God, who can tell me where Link's upper limit is? We have seen him Organizing the offense, we've seen him hit three-pointers, and we've seen him use all kinds of incredible moves to complete dunks. But we didn't expect that he could actually play a guest role at the fifth position!"

Hubie Brown's voice was trembling. At that moment, he felt that he had never really understood Link.

No, maybe even Link doesn't know where his limit is.

In the subsequent games, Link completely dominated the three-second zone. Whether it was rebounding or defense, Link did an excellent job.

On the offensive end, the Grizzlies, who played in a small lineup, not only did not suffer a loss, but also relied on stronger mobility and longer range to defeat the Eagles.

At the end of the first quarter, Link came off the court to rest, and Whiteside took over the baton again.

The Grizzlies also instantly changed back to their traditional style and continued to suppress the Hawks.

Budenholzer called many timeouts and thought of many strategies.

But the situation has been unable to change.

Because Budenholzer never expected that Link would be so powerful that he would not be left behind even as a guest center!

After the game entered the second quarter, the situation did not change.

In this way, the Eagles were tortured for half a game. When the second quarter ended, the Hawks, who were first in the Eastern Conference, had killed countless stars, and had just experienced five consecutive victories, were already 24 points behind the Grizzlies!

Link scored 15 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks at halftime!

Not only did he not let the Grizzlies fall behind, but he actually made the Hawks' interior a little stretched.

The moment the half game ended, a reporter rushed up to interview Link.

Link was in a good mood and looked at the camera with a smile.

"Link, can you tell us about your small lineup? When did you come up with such a strategy? Can you talk about the details?"

"Details? I can't tell you the details. I can only tell you that our small lineup is called the Death Five."

Link waved his hand. The Grizzlies used the Warriors' trick first!
