The Grizzlies' quick counterattack made the Hawks fall behind by 9 points in an instant. With another 1 point, the difference will be widened to double digits.

Although the first quarter has not been finished, the Hawks still have a lot of time, even if they really fall behind double digits, there is no need to worry too much.

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

In the flash, the Grizzlies successfully carried out one offense and one defense. The Hawks players were a little confused and looked at their coach at a loss.

Budenhoze pointed at the slightest point and signaled everyone to implement the original plan.

At the same time, Budenhoze walked to Macedonian center Pero Antić and "ready to play!"

Antich nodded, stood up and walked towards the technical desk.

Perot Antich is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 118 kilograms. He is bald, bearded and big flowery. He looks very strong from his appearance.

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

Since Horford can't get a height advantage in Link, let Antich take it!

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

Horford did not continue to play in the low post and singles with Link this time. He was not an act of indignation. He would not fall into failures again and again because of anger.

This time, Horford chose to cover up with his teammates.

The Grizzlies have a weak inside line and do not necessarily have to let the center forward one-on-one at low positions, but also allow outside players to hit the basket.

Moreover, Horford's range can be extended beyond the three-point line. If Link directly chases the basket, Horford is confident that he will convert the open opportunity into a score.

The Hawks did that, and Horford provided a cover for Teague, who accelerated the breakthrough around the cover.

Link did not hesitate, and he followed Teague to chase after him immediately. Instead, Conley stayed in front of Horford. The two of them had a tacit understanding of their defense switching, without any hesitation!

Seeing Link chasing him, Teague prepared to return the ball to Horford.

But when I turned my head, I saw that the passing route had been cut off by Conley, and Conley's position was just right!

Don't forget that Conley has also been selected for the best defensive team.

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

He thought to himself that Link was never a pure center, and his ability to block the basket should not be that terrifying.

However, as soon as Teague started to jump, he found that he was outrageously wrong.

This is the No-fly Zone. Whether it is Whiteside or Link guarding, this is the No-fly Zone.

Before Teague could throw the ball out, Link directly slapped the ball on the rebound.

Teague swallowed in the air, and they seemed to never fly out of the Grizzlies' blockade at the basket today.

"I was cheated, and the Hawks' approach to attacking the Grizzlies' inside failed again! Although the Grizzlies do not have the inside now, Link has effectively protected the basket twice! Today, Link's effect on playing the No. 5 position is much better than Harris's playing the No. 5 position in the last game!"

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

Gasol looked at Randolph and showed his white teeth, "If this continues, we will be unemployed, hahahaha!"

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

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

The Grizzlies' quick counterattack is started again!

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

Conley made a fake move to pass the ball to the bottom corner of the left while moving, but in fact he knocked the ball under his crotch and passed it to Jimmy Butler who followed behind him.

The latter jumped with both feet and smashed the ball into the box vigorously.

11 points, the collapse came too suddenly, and Budenhoze hadn't even reacted to what was going on!

At the reminder of the assistant coach, Budenhozer called for a timeout, and he needed to make a new substitution and re-arrange the attack. The most important thing was to take the tall and powerful Antich to the field.

On the Grizzlies, there was no adjustment except Butler replaced Carter and Conley to Delavidova.

Antich Jorge believes that Antich is not Link’s opponent either!

"Both sides have substituted players, Macedonian center Antić has appeared! If Link continues to play in the fifth position, his height disadvantage will be infinitely magnified!"

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

Although Antich is tall, he averages only 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season, and his data has declined even more than his rookie season.

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

These things all prove one thing - Antich is not a talented player. A true European genius has long been discovered by scouts and participated in the draft.

Antich is a substitute blue-collar worker, and he is not very strong among blue-collar workers. His biggest function is to allow Horford to take a break.

A blue-collar worker with a weak strength, when he thought about this, Link was no longer nervous.

Being big doesn't mean you really have the advantage. Back then, Wallace had proved this with the championship ring and the best defensive player trophy.

Link dared not say that his strength and core strength are comparable to that of a big bank, but it should be enough to deal with Antich!

The game started over and the Hawks' strategy was still as always, hitting the inside!

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

Link was supported by Antich, his size was two sizes smaller than the other party.

Antich felt Link's defense with his back, which was very tough!

The Macedonians do not plan to fight hard. They want to overcome hardness with softness, and to break the deadlock with their height and soft feel.

So, Antich did not dare to lean back when he was a big fight, but chose to turn over and jump shot directly!

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

Antich is Horford's "poor version". This guy has a very long range and his career record is four three-pointers in a single game.

Of course, it would not be difficult for him to make a comeback or jump shot.

Antich was very confident that he was 8 centimeters taller than Link, and he believed that he could not be disturbed.

But just like what Teague thought Link could not block him just now, he was very wrong!

Antich is indeed tall, but his shooting moves are too slow, giving Link enough time to interfere with the jump!

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

Although Link couldn't sweep Antich's shot like he did just now, it still seriously interfered with the Macedonians.

Although Antich can shoot, he is a blue-collar worker after all, and his personal ability is limited. When he was seriously disturbed by Link, Antich's turnover jump shot ended with a blacksmith.

"It still didn't hit. Link seemed to be the patron saint at the basket, causing all the Hawks' plans to make the three-second zone failed! Oh my God, who can tell me where Link's upper limit is? We have seen him organize the offense, see him hit three-pointers, and see him use various incredible moves to complete the dunk. But we didn't expect that he could still play the No. 5 position!"

Hubby Brown's voice was trembling, and 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 a great job.

On the offensive end, the Grizzlies who played in small lineups not only did not suffer any losses, but also made the Hawks fall into trouble with their stronger mobility and longer shooting range.

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

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

Budenhozer called for a lot of timeouts and thought of many strategies.

But the situation has not changed for a long time.

Because Budenhoze never thought that Link was so powerful that he was not at all inferior to the guest center!

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

In this way, the Hawks were abused for one half. When the second quarter ended, the East was the first in the East, and had tortured countless stars. The Hawks, who had just experienced five consecutive victories, were already 24 points behind the Grizzlies!

Link scored 15 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first half!

Not only did he not let the Grizzlies fall into the post, but instead made the Hawks' inside line a little stretched.

The moment the half-time 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 me about your small lineup? When did you have such a strategy? Can you tell me about the details?"

"Details? The details cannot be told. I can only tell you that our small lineup is called Death Five."
Chapter completed!
