Three Hundred and Fourteen: Use Offense to Resist Attack

As soon as Wade narrowed the point difference to single digits, Link opened the score again with a beautiful goal.

Once again, at a critical moment when the situation may turn around, Link stood up as the core of the Grizzlies' offense.

This is what Hollins likes about Link. An offensive core does not necessarily have to score high points in every game. But at critical moments, when the team needs you, you have to stand up and make the final decision.

There is no doubt that Link has done just that. When Wade started to go crazy, when the Heat began to approach the score. Link stood up and made the final decision, helping the team stabilize their position.

Compared with making crazy shots to score high points, such an offensive core is obviously more beneficial to the team.

James and Wade, you look at me, I look at you. The two guys had a perfect understanding, but they didn't expect that they had such a good understanding that even Huang would be sent flying together.

Of course, from another point of view, Link slammed James and Wade away at once, which will undoubtedly become one of the classic shots of this game.

Another classic shot happened on the Grizzlies bench. Jimmy Butler, who threw a shit to celebrate Link's goal, almost booked a spot for the Big Five.

Hollins was really uncomfortable when he saw Butler fall, because he wanted to laugh, but it was his own player who fell, so he had to hold back, isn't it uncomfortable?

"It's just one goal, we're already on the move, continue!" Wade yelled at James, and the Heat just woke up from the loss just now.

Wade is not someone who would admit defeat so easily. He admitted that Link's response to the ball just now was really tough. But a basketball game is like a marathon, and an occasional sprint will not be effective.

The Heat continued to counterattack, and the fans cheered for the Heat players with the most enthusiastic cheers, which was the only thing they could do.

This time, the man with the ball became James, and Randolph had to go out to defend. On the other side, Bosh also pulled to the middle distance. As a player who hits almost 50% of his mid-range shots, it's naturally impossible for Gasol to let Bosh go.

In this way, the inside line that the Grizzlies are proud of was emptied. Wade took the opportunity to cut in, and secretly pushed Link with his back hand.

James' well-timed pass gave Wade a chance to directly attack the frame. Although Link was chasing after Wade, Wade made a counter-basket and used the basket as a barrier to avoid Link's block. build.

The audience exploded again, Wade scored 6 points in a row!

"Dwyane Wade is not to be outdone, he continues to score! The point difference has returned to single digits. This time, can the Grizzlies continue!?"

The two teams are already playing tit-for-tat. In this kind of game, whoever loses the chain will fall behind. The comparison is perseverance and stability.

Link curled his lips helplessly, it seemed that the gangster was really angry. That guy's scoring vigor doesn't look like a senior, he doesn't take care of young people at all.

But it doesn't matter, the Grizzlies still lead by 9 points. Moreover, isn't there a chance to open the score.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

Heat fans shouted rhythmically, filling the arena with the word "defense". This is the home field advantage. With fans shouting behind them, the home team can be more excited and work harder.

In such a situation, the visiting team usually doubles the pressure.

But what Link heard was not a cry of passion, but the last wail of Heat fans trying to hide their fear.

Link was not polite to Wade this time, and directly turned his back near the free throw line to ask for the ball!

Wade tried to reach out several times to block Link's line of receiving the ball, but was roughly beaten down. Link's playing habits don't look like a second-year player at all!

Conley hit the ground and passed the ball to Link, and Link turned his back to Wade one-on-one! The Heat's defense did not dare to double-team. They would rather believe in Wade's defensive ability than give the Grizzlies a gap. After all, Link's pass threat is simply too great.

Wade gritted his teeth, which made his cheeks even bigger. He didn't expect that Link would actually single out against him for the second consecutive round.

After suffering the loss of last time, this time Wade did not defend against Link, but used his normal center of gravity to deal with Link's back attack.

The physical contact between the two sides was fierce, and every time they collided, they were almost on the verge of fouling. But even so, Link took two steps forward.

Seeing that the distance was almost the same, Link turned over and fell back to make a jump shot.

Link's movement of turning over and leaning back was not fast, but his movement was very smooth and steady. Wade reached out to block in despair, but he was so far away from the basketball.

In the end, Link took the shot calmly without much interference. Wade found it unbelievable that this guy, Link, turned over and leaned back, so much like Kobe!

"Swipe!" The sound of the net rolling brought Wade back to his senses. He turned his head and found that Bosh was already picking up the basketball on the ground.

Actually entered!

"Damn it!" Wade had to admit, Link gave him another surprise. Kobe-style turnaround jumper? How many people in the entire league can reproduce it?

But at this moment, there was one standing in front of him.

"Link responded to Wade again. It seems that the two are on the bar today! Link doesn't flinch at all. Whenever Wade scores a goal, he scores a goal. In short, Link is not letting the Heat narrow the point difference to single digits." Count! The game is getting more and more exciting. Link fought James in the first quarter, and Wade in the second quarter, and he didn't lose. Now, no one will question his status as the All-Star starting forward."

Mike Brin was a little surprised, Link's performance exceeded his expectations. The last time Mike Breen watched Link play, Link was a smart, potential team player.

But now? Link can play the planet. Link is growing step by step, and the growth speed is like a sports car on a German unlimited speed highway.

Subsequently, Wade used the cover to break through the inside line, causing a foul by Link. Wade also really started to compete with Link, this lightning seemed to be blown from 2006, it was unstoppable and hard to contain.

After another two free throws at the free throw line, Wade has scored 8 points in a row until now in the second quarter! Compared with scoring and swallowing eggs + 3 turnovers in the first quarter, it is simply bottoming out.

However, after the pass, Link used his iconic cross step to make a sudden stop for a mid-range shot, which made Wade sweat on his forehead.

In again! He let Link score again! Wade has played against many people in his life. He once played against James in the playoffs, and once played against Kobe at Staples.

But he never thought that one day, he would be confronted by an undrafted player!

"Link's iconic offense, Wade can't defend! After Wade scored 8 points in a row, the Heat did not open the score! The point difference was still 11 points, and Coach Spoelstra called a timeout again. Link set an example, As the offensive core of the Grizzlies, he used the way of scoring to resist the fierce counterattack of the Heat!"

Under the exclamation of Mike Breen, Link walked off the field. And all around him were teammates who were high-fiving or touching their heads.

Link's use of practical actions to resist the Heat's counterattack undoubtedly further aroused everyone's fighting spirit.

So in the next game of the second quarter, the Grizzlies started their more blooming offensive performances.

After returning from the timeout, James hit consecutive shots, and Randolph still struggled to defend James.

But then, Conley Jr. and Gasol Jr. scored goals one after another, opening the score again.

At the end of the second quarter, Bosh bravely made a three-pointer, as if the Heat would eventually enter the second half with a single-digit point difference.

As a result, Randolph hit James a 2+1 after passing, and got the 3 points back.

In the second half of the second quarter, Link's shots dropped sharply, and he could focus more on blocking and defending. But the offense of the Grizzlies was not affected by this. As long as Link brings out his aura, the Grizzlies' offense doesn't need him to do it himself.

In the end, after the second quarter, the score became 52-40. Sitting on the Big Three, the Miami Heat only scored 40 points in half the game! And in the case of Wade, James and Bosh all had outstanding performances, the Heat are still behind by double digits!

Link, who scored 15 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in the half game, became the focus of the cameras. His confrontation with Wade at the beginning of the second quarter was the key to the Grizzlies' ability to stabilize their advantage!

Before the intermission, Mike Breen used one sentence to describe Link's performance in the first half of the game.

"He is a well-deserved offensive core. If the Heat want to deal with the Grizzlies, they must send out someone with more firepower than Link!"

The Big Three of the Heat expressed their desire to shed tears when they heard this. Today, someone who is even worse than them came out.
