Six Hundred and Eighty: Don't Bully My Teammates, or I Will Bully Back (Four K)

Replacing Randolph with Butler means Wade and James can hit the rim more easily.

So next, it is not easy to completely contain the main heat by defense. The Grizzlies must be extremely efficient on the offensive end to be able to recover from the decline.

Quinn Snyder then suggested to Joger to let Link handle the ball. As a result, LeBron would not be able to stay in the penalty area, because he had to come out to defend Link, which greatly weakened the Heat's ability to protect the rim.

To put it bluntly, both sides' ability to protect the frame has been weakened, so this game must be played in a counterattack manner. If you only fight on defense, you won't be able to eat the Heat, which are all in great shape.

You can guard one or two, but it's hard to guard three superstars at the same time.

With this line of thought, the Grizzlies returned to the court.

Ray Allen continued to take the initiative to defend Link, preparing to lead Link into a defensive trap. And James is waiting for the opportunity to prepare for defense, everything is the same as just now.

But the Grizzlies had just sent the baseline ball, and Ray Allen was a little nervous. The ball did not pass through Conley's hand, but was directly controlled by Link over half court, which meant that the initiative was entirely in Link's hands!

Link did not break through, but called Gasol for cover. After bypassing Gasol and throwing off Ray Allen, Link shot directly from beyond the three-point line!

Although Bosh actively interfered up, it was still half a beat. Link's three-pointer netted crisply and scored a goal in an understatement.

This is the result of continuing to guard Link with Ray Allen.

Link glanced at James after scoring a goal, and the meaning was very clear, "Stop playing this boring game, stand up and solve all this!"

In the next round, the Heat failed to fight back. Link scored, and the Heat naturally didn't have the opportunity to grab a rebound and push the fast break.

The Heat were dragged into position for the first time in this game. After James opened Link, Wade broke through again with the ball!

But the Grizzlies still have Marc Gasol as a rim protector on the court, so even if Link is pulled away, it is still not easy for Wade to score a goal.

Seeing Gasol rushing back to the basket in time this time, Wade did not try to be brave, but passed the ball to Bosh, who was in place in the middle distance!

Bosh just received the basketball, and he hasn't had time to shoot yet.

Link suddenly charged in diagonally, and swiped his hand!

The next second, the basketball in Bosh's hands was swept away by Link! Again, as long as you are fast enough, you can take care of two offensive players at the same time!

"Link completed the steal. After the substitution, the Grizzlies' state has really improved a lot. However, it is still not easy for Link to score goals. LeBron and Bosh are both following him now!"

James won't just watch Link score a dunk. The advantage he finally established cannot be destroyed so easily!

Link insisted on breaking through under James' physical contact, but when he was approaching the layup, he secretly sent the ball to the left bottom corner with an invisible pass!

Conley appeared there, and at this time, Chalmers was still two steps away from Conley!

"Damn!" James admired Link's passing vision, and he was able to accurately deliver the ball to his teammates under the double team of two people.

Conley is a traditional point guard, not a scorer like Westbrook and Irving who can hit 20 to 30 points at every turn.

Therefore, Conley's offensive ability has been underestimated. In fact, Conley's offensive skills are well-rounded.

So far this season, Conley is shooting 36.8 percent from 3-point range. Not great, but definitely not bad.

Conley finished the shot before Chalmers was sealed. Now that the Grizzlies are in the possession of Link, Conley is completely freed. Then if he wants to score, it is a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort.

"brush!"

The Grizzlies made their second consecutive three-pointer. Less than a minute after the timeout came back, the Grizzlies narrowed the difference to only 1 point left!

"Beautiful assists, the fast break led by Link is very smooth. Because he knows better than anyone when to send the ball where. 6 to 7, the Miami Heat must be serious!"

James and Wade thought that Link after scoring consecutive goals would start spouting trash talk, but Link was unusually quiet today.

Link knows that now is not the time!

One three-pointer and one assist teammate hit a three-pointer, Snyder's plan was basically a success.

Playing Link at the 1 position maximizes Link's ball-handling threat and allows others to have easier chances. Such an attack is enough to compete with the Big Three who are in full swing!

The game was brought back on track by Link, and in the remaining games of the first quarter, the Grizzlies and the Heat played an offensive battle that made fans hooked.

On the Heat side, relying on the excellent state of the Big Three, they frequently attacked successfully. On the Grizzlies side, Link found a very delicate balance between scoring his own goals and assisting his teammates to score.

He handles the Grizzlies' offense clearly, and at the same time, his scoring won't stall.

After the first quarter of the game, the two sides fought 30 to 28, and the Grizzlies temporarily led by 2 points.

Both teams scored high, but neither could get away with the other. Today, it is destined to be a tug of war.

In the second and third quarters, the two teams continued to face off against each other. Wade and Bosh helped James share a lot of offensive pressure, and Link's numbers are rising because of his possession of the ball!

In the fourth quarter of the game, Link assisted Butler who cut to the basket and made a layup, giving the Grizzlies a 1-point lead over the Heat again. Link also scored his 10th assist of the game!

After the ball, Link's data for today was immediately displayed on the big screen.

"28 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, Link is only 1 rebound away from a triple-double! If Link can do it, he will become the fifth player in NBA history to record a triple-double in the Christmas game. player!"

Mike Brin had prepared early today, so all kinds of historical materials were very well prepared.

It's not easy for a player to show up in a Christmas fight. After all, the Christmas game is for the most profitable team.

How does the ability to attract money come? Either you have to be in a big city or you have to have a really good team.

As a result, many players have never played a Christmas fight in their careers. It's hard enough to get into a Christmas fight, let alone get a triple-double in a battle of the spotlight.

Previously, only four players in NBA history had triple-doubles in the Christmas game. Among the four, only James is an active player.

And Link, today is expected to be the second.

But for Link, he is more concerned about the current situation than a triple-double.

The Heat played really well today, James, Wade, Bosh, including Ray Allen, none of them fell off the chain.

So much so that the game will end with 1 minute and 24 seconds remaining, and the Grizzlies are only 1 point ahead by just relying on Link's assist for Butler's goal.

1 minute and 24 seconds, this is a terrible time. Any mistakes at this time could ruin the game.

Having a triple-double and losing, for Link, that doesn't make sense. Therefore, Link doesn't care about triple-doubles or triple-doubles now.

He just wants to win!

After Butler scored, Link did not celebrate, but told everyone to retreat quickly. He also put on a posture, ready to meet the impact of James.

James is now also playing the role of the Heat's point forward, he personally control the ball through the half.

This time, James and "Birdman" Anderson played a pick-and-roll. Anderson is now playing in place of Bosh. Bosh just went down to rest for a while. Spoelstra hopes that the "Dragon King" can face the game with the best physical condition at the last moment.

Bosh is now on the tech desk. If the ball dies this round, he will play immediately.

Anderson took a small step quietly while taking cover, preventing Link from going around the first time.

This is an illegal cover, the equivalent of a mobile cover. But if the referee doesn't see it, it's legal!

James took the opportunity to break into the inside line, and then made a pull-up jumper in the middle distance!

As everyone knows, Link rushed in diagonally, and was stunned to seal James' face!

"Damn, when did you come up!?" James' shooting rhythm was completely disrupted by Link, and in the end, the shot failed!

Link was so aggressive that he bit James like a mad dog. being delayed? Then speed it up!

"It didn't make it! There's not much time left for the Heat! If the Grizzlies score another goal this round, they'll have a 3 or 4 lead in less than a minute!"

The entire Heat team knows this truth, and this round will be the key to this game!

Therefore, all the Heat players are very aggressive. "Birdman" Anderson is no exception. He returned to the basket with the fastest speed and vowed to protect the basket!

Sure enough, the Grizzlies' counterattack did not give the Heat a chance to breathe. After Link received Gasol's pass, he immediately gave the ball to Jimmy Butler.

Butler went straight to the basket before the Heat's defensive formation took shape, and "Birdman" Anderson was ready. How could it be too late for you in this crucial round!

Butler jumped up against Anderson, thinking that even if he couldn't score, he could still get a foul!

Birdman, however, was mooing enough, and he jumped up and spread his arms. It was as if it had spread its wings full of feathers, and it did not fall down at all in height!

In the end, Anderson did not give Butler a chance to stand on the free throw line, but gave Butler a volleyball cap head-on!

"It's blocked, volleyball hat! Chris Anderson, he saved the Miami Heat from the edge of the cliff!" Mike Brin saw his heart beat faster, this offense and defense was really exciting!

Spoelstra was also shocked into a cold sweat. If the defense just failed, the Heat would be very passive.

Fortunately, Anderson is present now. If Bosh, it is estimated that he would have been fouled. I have to say that Anderson's block is indeed stronger than Bosh.

Just when everyone thought that the Heat had turned the corner, the basketball that was fanned to the three-point line by "Birdman" was taken by Link, who came from behind!

All the Heat were preparing for a fast break, but Link got the ball one second before Wade.

At this time, the Heat's defensive formation had all dissipated, and it was too late to reorganize the defense. So, after getting the basketball, Link took two steps straight to the penalty area without any hindrance, and he wanted to continue to challenge Anderson!

"Link still chose to make a breakthrough, hasn't Anderson's volleyball cap just now deterred Link?" Mike Brin swallowed, Anderson and Link, this is a conflict like Mars hitting the earth!

Link was not frightened by Anderson's volleyball hat just now, he only had goals in his heart.

"Come on, come on!" Anderson didn't mind completing two consecutive blocks, he thought Link was still the same Link from last season's finals.

But in fact, it's not long ago.

Link held the ball in both hands and took off very close to the basket. But Anderson felt that it was only for a moment that Link jumped into the air.

What a terrifying bullet speed! ?

Anderson had just lifted his feet off the ground, and Link had already reached the highest point. As a result, Anderson, who was below Link, was powerless to stop the dunk. Link raised the basketball with both hands high, and violently smashed the ball in between Anderson, who had just finished the volleyball cap!

"boom!"

The basketball hoop sank sharply, and Anderson fell heavily from the bottom line!

All the charm of violent aesthetics is condensed in this one-off!

"A powerful dunk, Link completed revenge for Jimmy Butler! Anderson must have thought he could block two consecutive blocks, but he was greeted by a tragic dunk! 3 points, Link at the end of the game In 59 seconds, the Grizzlies got a crucial 3-point lead, and the Heat are now extremely passive!"

Mike Brin and the entire audience went crazy, and what could be more refreshing than a player who had just finished blocking the shot in the last second! ?

After Link landed, he walked up to Anderson, who was lying on the ground, and shouted.

"Don't bully my teammates, or I'll bully back."

After speaking, Link turned and left coldly, making people feel hopeless.

Anderson was obviously stunned. The terrifying power just now, the terrifying speed of the bullet... "Birdman" has been knocked over to the ground, and he still feels lingering fears!

Anderson's lips were white, and he didn't get up for a long time. In the end, it was James and Ray Allen who went to pull a hand, and Anderson came back to his senses.

Wade akimbo, shook his head helplessly. There is no way this ball can be done. Anderson has done enough. He has completed a beautiful block. But who knew that there was a more terrifying person waiting for him behind Butler. That person was not deterred, and still chose to attack the frame.

59 seconds behind by 3 points, Wade knows that this game is very difficult to play.

This Christmas Eve is not going to be happy, but it's all about the last 59 seconds.
