1282: I don't want a tug of war(1/2)
Dillon Brooks' toughness is indeed admirable. Although his physical talent is inconspicuous in the NBA, a place where "birds and beasts" gather, he will always be one of the most hard-working players in the game.
The Grizzlies have completed their overtake, and now everyone is looking forward to the Heat's counterattack.
Although the Grizzlies had a stronger momentum in those two rounds just now, the Heat were also a team that could fight tough battles.
Most people still think that this will be a tug-of-war.
Of course, Link didn't think so.
He doesn't want to drag the game to the end today. The quick battle is a cancer of viewership, but it is also the fastest way to solve the problem.
This time, Adebayo was obviously much more cautious.
Link's steal just now made him feel very stressed and he didn't even dare to pass the ball rashly.
In the Federal Express Arena, any casual pass can turn a turnover.
When Adebayo organized the offense at mid-range, everyone in the Grizzlies tightly entangled their matchups.
This embarrassed Adebayo and the ball could not be passed in his hands for a long time.
In the end, Adebayo chose to break through by himself and then threw the ball.
Although Adebayo's skill is delicate, this ball is still a bit too forced.
Adebayo's throwing shot was missed by Jokic's interference, and the Heat's team offense has shown momentum to be contained.
The Grizzlies have a lot of experience in the defensive team offense.
After all, the Grizzlies were able to meet with the Heat in the Finals by defeating the Spurs who played the team's offense repeatedly in the West.
Unexpectedly, the Heat are now playing team attack by themselves.
Teams playing team attack seem to be quite unsolvable at first glance, but if the opponent has no defensive loopholes in five positions, it will be difficult to play team attacks.
The Grizzlies happen to be a team with almost no defensive weaknesses.
Although Conley's condition has declined a bit severely this season, his defensive level is still not low.
To play a team like the Grizzlies, you just need a strong offensive point to rush around in order to make a way for others.
Unfortunately, the Heat have no plans to let Butler hold the ball and solve the problem.
Besides, even if Spolstra really let Butler turn on the scoring mode, it will be different whether he can pass Link's level.
The Heat's consecutive misses have caused their originally high morale to fall a little.
Kendrick Nunn was the most injured. After the opening, he finally made a strong attack, but suddenly came to an abrupt end. It was really a wasteful expression.
Moreover, Nunn is in a very bad mood now.
After being provoked by Link, Nunn was very unwilling to give up. Although he is indeed a first-year rookie, he is still a 24-year-old.
I am still called a little brat by others at the age of 24, it would be strange if I am happy.
Nunn stared at Link, thinking about how to fight back.
But now it's the Grizzlies' round, and he can only bear the attack silently now.
After two rounds of offense, Link finally got the basketball on the offensive end this time.
Jimmy Butler fought against the moment Link received the ball, very tough.
It is worthy of being from the Grizzlies. They started out on defense back then, and they are indeed unambiguous on the defensive end.
Kendrick Nunn knew very well how perverted Butler's defense was. As teammates, they often played practice games in training and fought almost every day.
Butler's defense, in Nunn's opinion, is suffocating.
He has also played more than 20 official games in the NBA, but he has not met anyone who is stronger than Butler's defense.
Nunn thought, even Link wouldn't be able to score easily on Butler's head.
As long as Butler can defend this goal, he will make another quick counterattack, even if he will give Link a response!
"Little brat? Don't underestimate us!" Nunn was ready to scrutinize, staring at Butler and Link.
At this moment, Link made several three-threat moves lightly and then suddenly pulled out the jump shot from the three-point line.
The basketball went over Butler's fingertips, and...and in.
Nunn:???
That's it? In this way?
Without dribbling or confrontation, I just swayed a few times on the spot and then shot directly, and then went in?
"The beautiful three-pointer and Link's three-threat move made Jimmy hesitate, so he was a little slower when the interference was interrupted. Although he only got a slight gap, that was enough for Link. The Heat were 5 points behind, and they had the intention of opening high and closing low."
Until he saw Link raise his right arm and put out three fingers, and when Butler shook his head helplessly, Nunn couldn't believe it was true.
Jimmy Butler, his super defensive expert, was defeated by Link so easily!
Nun swallowed, how strong is that guy Link?
Why didn’t you feel it when the last time the two sides fought?
Nunn was a little panicked now. He felt that Link was deliberately showing off his skills in front of him...
Link scored a light goal, which shocked the young people of the Heat.
Anyone will be surprised to see the strongest person in his team be easily defeated.
After that, Duncan Robinson fired a three-pointer in the right corner, preparing to return the shot, but Dillon Brooks immediately interfered with the shooting.
Most teams don't care about Duncan Robinson's undraft with averaging 3.3 points per game last season and a three-point shooting percentage of less than 30%.
But the Grizzlies are different. The Grizzlies themselves started with low picks and undrafts, so they will not have any sense of superiority.
Even if the other party is just a loser, Jogel will pay great attention to it.
Therefore, he specially arranged targeted defensive strategies for Duncan Robinson, treating him as a top shooter to defend.
And Dillon Brooks is a player with very strong execution ability. It is perfect to use him to deal with Duncan Robinson, a player with less variables.
As long as he executes according to the coach's arrangement, it will not be difficult to seal the space for the unballed shooter.
Spoelstra frowned when the Heat's offense missed again.
The Grizzlies' defense is indeed too strong. From Conley to Jokic, everyone's ability is higher than the league's average, whether it is single or auxiliary defense.
Spoelstra is now thinking about whether to let Jimmy Butler take over the game in advance.
But before the Filipino coach made a decision, Link scored another goal.
This time, in order to beware of Link's pervert with infinite range, suddenly pulled up his shot, Butler shortened the distance with Link.
So, Link went downstairs and used breakthroughs to deal with his former younger brother.
Link originally broke through to Butler's left hand, but after mobilizing Butler's center of gravity, Link suddenly changed direction while moving!
This direction change speed was so fast that seeing Nunn was stunned, it also made Rose seem to see himself in the MVP period.
This is a change of direction without slowing down!
But you have to know that Link is almost 32 years old. But he still has no pressure to complete such extremely high physical movements.
He is worthy of being a man who is comparable to "God"!
In shock, Nun left Conley and planned to take advantage of it.
At this time, Link was rushing towards Nunn. As we all know, it is the easiest way to get the ball off when the opponent suddenly assists in the process of dribbling.
This law can be applied from a wild court to a NBA.
So, Nunn also wanted to give it a try. If he really made Link make a mistake... then he would definitely get all the shame in front of Link!
Link approached at high speed and didn't seem to notice Nunn.
Nunn focused, looked at the timing, and then stuck his arm out.
“Eh?”
Just as Nunn took action, Basketball and Link "disappeared out of thin air" from his eyes.
Nunn felt a gust of wind blowing across his face, and he stood there without any response.
At this moment, Nunn found that he knew nothing about his speed.
"Two consecutive changes without slowing down, Link's breakthrough was so exciting! Adebayo made up for defense at the basket, Link used a beautiful layup to avoid the block... In! Link avoided the defense of three Heats at one time, and this goal was definitely reserved for a seat in the five best goals!"
Hubby Brown stood up excitedly, this was a complete display of Link's personal abilities.
No, it's showing off!
The score difference became 7 points, and the Heat were pressed to the ground to rub.
After scoring the goal, Link spread his hands at Nunn: "The idea is very good, but you have to know that these tricks are the ones I play. Come on, you just almost defend me."
Nunn always felt that he was a fearless person, but at this moment he felt that Link was like a huge shadow, making him dare not breathe.
Now, Nunn understands the true meaning of the name "The League Number One is not easy to mess with".
In front of the real tough character Link, you really don’t want to talk about your villain.
