394: Championship Challenger

Players from both sides stepped into the stadium, and the Heat's lineup was the same as usual, with the Big Three + Chalmos and captain Haslem.

The game has not yet begun, and the atmosphere has become extremely lively. The Grizzlies have won five consecutive victories recently and are invincible. Therefore, Grizzlies fans naturally hope that the team can defeat the defending champion in one fell swoop.

For the sake of the top spot in the Eastern Conference, the Heat will do their best to fight the Grizzlies to the end. Everyone knows that the Grizzlies are an embarrassing bone, so James will try to show you.

After the referee's whistle, the centers of both sides began to compete for the ball.

Bosh was not a pure No. 5 player, so he failed to beat Gasol Jr. in the jump. Although he lost the jump, James was extremely excited.

In the first round, he will first meet the Grizzlies No. 0 attack!

Link had just passed halftime and was entangled by James before he could catch the ball. The cheers of the audience immediately rose by another octave. The most exciting part of this game was actually staged from the beginning!

"LeBron vs. Link, this is definitely one of the few duels in a season. It can be seen that LeBron has very strict defenses against Link. It will be very difficult for Link to catch the ball now." Hubby Brown feels that he has not been so energetic for a long time. Due to his age, the old man has not come to comment on every home game of the Grizzlies this season, and he is not so energetic.

But today, Hubby Brown felt that there was blood boiling in his old body.

Link and James, their showdown will definitely not end like Link vs Harden.

Link had just fought against James and felt the huge oppression that James gave to his opponent.

His spirit, body and body all make people feel stressed.

It is not easy to get rid of James, but it is not impossible. While James was pressing close to him, Link secretly pushed James and ran out of the three-point line!

Just as James was about to chase after him, he saw Randolph's sinister smile. The next second, Randolph formed a cover without the ball! Although James tried his best to squeeze out the pick-and-roll, he still gave Link a space for his position.

I have to say that Randolph's pick-and-roll quality is really high. His body is not white.

"Damn it!" James didn't expect Link's off-ball offense to be so superb. He tried hard to chase Link, but just as James took off, Link also gave the basketball in his hand.

The first attack was made, I chose a three-pointer!

James knew that he had hardly interfered with Link's shooting, but he still looked forward to get stuck in the position to prevent Link from going in and grabbing rebounds. Link's offensive rebounds have always been very threatening, and all James had to do was to eliminate all his threats.

However, when James was stuck on his back, he did not feel Link competing for the position with him.

James couldn't help but turn his head and find that Link was already leaving for his own half!

So confident!?

Before James could turn his head back, he heard the wonderful notes made by the Nets rolling. Of course, at this moment, this sound was extremely harsh to James!

"The ball went in! Link scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up! With a beautiful off-ball attack, Link was not afraid of LeBron and James's pushback. Instead, he calmly looked for opportunities and seized the gap and sent a fatal blow! Link is such a cold-blooded killer!"

Hubby Brynn danced and Link was able to score a goal under James' tight defense, which was enough to show his current strength!

James shook his head disappointed, but was not discouraged. The game was interesting in Link’s state!

The Heat's offense does not have too complicated tactics. It is not difficult to see from the Heat's data that the scoring tasks are basically split by the Big Three. In the first two seasons of the combination of the Big Three, the only players in the Heat who averaged double-point scores per game were James, Wade and Bosh.

This year, there is more Ray Allen, and the Heat are expected to be the fourth player to average double-digit points per game.

James held the ball, Haslem picked and rolled, and Bosh made room. This simple operation is already a tactic for the Heat.

For players with particularly strong personal abilities, they can still perform well even without complex tactical support.

Moreover, tactics are not the more complex and better. The more complex the tactics are, the more exquisite they are, but the success rate of execution is naturally lower. The simpler and straightforward tactics are often the higher the success rate.

Therefore, when to arrange simple tactics and when to arrange complex tactics is also a science for the head coach.

In Spoelstra's opinion, he, who has the three giants, can keep everything simple!

James didn't have so many fancy tricks in his breakthrough. When Haslem's pick-and-roll was in place, James immediately accelerated and directly hit the basket!

Seeing this, Iguodala immediately walked away from Haslem and approached James. But James' ability to confrontation was very strong, and he took every step very firmly. Even a third position as strong as Iguodala, it was difficult to shake his rhythm!

Link felt terrible after watching it. Defending James is really a bad guy.

In this way, James simply and roughly leaned against Iguodala and walked to the basket. Spolstra smiled slightly. Isn’t the attack achievable? There is no need to be too complicated!

However, the next second, Gasol raised his arms and came to defend himself, waiting for James to hit him!

James kept pushing a layup against the opponent as usual, but even James played very uncomfortable in the face of the heavy center's backup defense. His ability to confront the heavy center is not that great.

In the end, James' layup hit the frame under Gasol's raised arms. Gasol Jr. took the defensive rebound as soon as he reached out, and the Grizzlies' defense was successful!

"Defense! LeBron James failed! The Grizzlies' defense is very layered. When Iguodala was broken through, Gasol Jr. immediately rushed back to the penalty area. The Grizzlies are worthy of being one of the best defense teams in the league. It seems that LeBron wants to score points in the FedEx Arena, so it takes more effort!"

Stevens off the field waved his fist secretly, and his strategy succeeded!

Heavy centers are the best way to defend James! Once you stock up on the inside, you can make up for heavy centers who can defend themselves at the basket in time, James' threat will plummet.

But then again, there are not even many pure centers in the league now, let alone heavy centers that move fast. Bynum, who had played some dominance in the Lakers last season, clearly played some dominance, but was immediately reimbursed this season, which greatly reduced the number of excellent centers.

Therefore, when playing against most teams, James is an invincible existence.

But unfortunately, the Grizzlies' biggest advantage is the inside!

James frowned and was defeated in the first round! It was originally exhausting to fight against Iguodala, but after fighting Iguodala, Gasol was waiting.

Before James could take a breath, Link ran towards him again, so James had to start defending hard.

The continuous wheel battles left James without any time to think or breathe. This is how Stevens dealt with James!

Don’t look at the young man who looks pretty, there are many bad ideas.

This time, Link pulled James to the right corner. Then Conley hung the ball to Randolph, who singled Haslem!

Although Haslem is the captain of the Heat, what makes Haslem convincing is his professional attitude and reputation, not his hard power.

Although Haslem is still very active today, it is not enough to be active on the basketball court where he speaks with his strength.

Randolph's recovery in form this season is visible to the naked eye. He has a high success rate when playing singles at Haslem!

James wanted to help Haslem, but because Link was in the bottom corner, James did not dare to act rashly.

Link had just made a three-pointer, and if he was directly empty, the Heat would probably not be worth the loss.

So in the end, James chose to stay with Link, and Haslem had to find a way to deal with the big guy in front of him.

Randolph sat back twice, then turned over and jumped into the shot. Haslem tried his best to block it, and he fought a little too much, and directly hit Randolph.

The referee was aware of his thoughts and immediately blew the whistle. This was a shooting foul!

As soon as the whistle sounded, the basketball fell into the net in hollowness! Randolph let out a bear roar, and he got a chance to score a three-pointer!

"Damn!" James shook his head helplessly. Haslem was not blamed for this ball, he tried his best. But this feeling of watching his teammates be bullied and he was powerless, James hated it very much.

Link completely nailed James to the three-point line, making him unable to do anything.

This is a star who gives the opponent a huge threat to defend. Do you dare to move? Try moving!

Randolph made a free throw line. This means that the Grizzlies scored 6 points first with a devastating offensive after the opening!

"Even the defending champion, you have to be careful in Memphis! After all, this is the territory of the Grizzlies!

Under Hubby Brown's teasing, Wade's emergency stop jump shot also ended in failure.

Today, Link is defending Wade. Link can clearly feel how obvious Wade's deterioration in speed is.

Not to mention the peak period, it has deteriorated a lot compared to last season.

Wade's knees have not been sound since college, and his meniscus was removed before entering the league. Now that he has grown older, various injuries have begun to break out. Although Wade has had a game off, his knees are still a little sore, which greatly affects his breakthrough speed.

So, Link easily followed Wade and interfered with his shot, thus winning his first showdown with the Flash.

The Heat's offense failed again, and the Grizzlies counterattacked quickly!

This time, Link ran through the half very quickly, not giving Wade and James a chance to switch defense! Conley understood it and quickly gave the ball to Link!

Facing Wade's defense, Link changed to a back-on attack after receiving the ball. Link, who has the advantage in height, directly swayed his shoulders and then directly tilted his jump shot. For Wade, who has a bad knee, this kind of ball is particularly difficult to defend.

In Wade's desperate eyes, Link's turnover jumped into the net! The fans of the audience cheered. In just three rounds, Link scored a goal on James and Wade's heads!

The score on the field also turned into 8-0! The defending champion Miami Heat was in a tough battle!

After Link scored, Spoelstra immediately called for a stop to the game.

The Filipino coach was a little surprised that the Grizzlies' progress was more obvious than he thought.
Chapter completed!
