495: Reject 5 on 1

In the first quarter, Stevens made more than nine minutes to suppress James. As it turned out, Stevens' decision was effective.

Lin scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the quarter, which suppressed James in all aspects.

However, Stevens did not take it lightly. He played this game as the finals. In the finals, there would be no team that gave up hope when they were behind in the first quarter.

The Heat's counterattack will become very fierce, very fierce. Now, what Stevens wants to solve first is the rotation problem.

Ray Allen, Norris Cole, Ryan Anderson, the players on the bench of the Heat have been in excellent form recently. In the first quarter, the Heat did not use a mixed lineup of substitutes and main players. But in the second quarter, Spolstra will definitely make some adjustments.

The Grizzlies played for more than nine minutes, and now they are the main players. The players are too tired. They are on the pure second-tier lineup, but they are afraid they can't beat them.

But soon, Stevens thought of a countermeasure. His on-site command and dispatching ability is indeed worthy of his identity.

"Link, you can play with the second team in the second quarter. For the other four, you can take a break. After the Heat have to send all substitutes in the end of the second quarter, you will be on the way. Even if there is no Link, I believe you can handle everything, right?"

Stevens waved confidently, allowing the substitute who had only played for a short time in the first quarter to continue on. The second team led by Link is not necessarily easier to deal with than the second team led by James.

The electronic beeps were heard throughout the game, and the second quarter officially began. After seeing the players on both sides step into the stadium, the commentator and the fans widened their eyes. Because the lineup sent by both sides in the second quarter was beyond everyone's expectations.

On the Heat, Ray Allen and "Birdman" Anderson continued to play and mixed into the lineup. James entered the fourth position and Ray Allen appeared in the third position.

The Grizzlies were even more scary, and they actually sent a lineup of four substitutes!

Vasquis, Jimmy Butler, Link, Harris and Azeli. All the substitutes who appeared in the last quarter, except Tony Allen and Nick Young, continued to stay on the court.

In the first quarter, Stevens did play for too long. It was not until the ninth minute that he started to send a substitute player. He did this mainly to waste James's exit and maintain suppression of James.

But even so, at the beginning of the second quarter, he actually left four substitutes on the court in one breath, which still makes people admire Stevens' courage.

Spolstral smiled. Now, he wants to see how the Grizzlies resist the Heat's counterattack! Leaving only one Link, would you think you can be stunned? Now it's 5-for-1!

The Heat lost to the Grizzlies at the beginning of the season because Nick Young suddenly broke out for no reason. But the Grizzlies substitute cannot explode every time.

"Guys, don't be nervous. We can handle the Heat in the first quarter, so can the second quarter! Hey, just follow the plan, do you understand?"

Before going on stage, Link blinked the fourth person following him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these four people are all new recruits.

Vasquis entered the league in the same year as Link, and this year is only in the third grade. For point guards, third grade is not an age that can be called mature.

Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris are both sophomore players. Moreover, they have not received much playing time during their rookie years.

Festus Azelley, a first-year rookie, appears as a substitute for Gasol this season. He gives people the impression that he is a blue-collar insider and has nothing outstanding.

And what about the Heat? Not only the Big Three are present at the same time, even Ray Allen and "Birdman" Anderson, who came on as a substitute, are not ordinary people.

The Grizzlies' temporary lead comes at a price!

If the Grizzlies' substitutes were allowed to face the Heat directly, they might be stage frightened. But after following Link, everyone was no longer nervous.

But Link is only a third grade.

The game started again, and this time the Heat was the first to attack. James received a basketball from the outside and he had a strong desire to score. After all, he played in the first quarter so frustratingly.

I thought I could play Randolph in a misplaced position and could easily score by breaking through. Now, the opponent has become Harris!

After Harris played a few games with the Grizzlies, his confidence increased greatly. With the Bucks averaged only 5+2 per game, the Grizzlies' data in these games was 12+7, more than doubled!

So, even when facing James, Harris was not too nervous. He stood firmly in front of James and tried hard to help Link share the pressure.

James tried to break through quickly, but what surprised him was that Harris actually followed, and his physical confrontation was not completely crushed!

The Heat play in a small lineup, and the Grizzlies are also a small lineup. Harris is not a traditional four-position, he can keep up with James!

James is unwilling to give up. He was tortured by Iguodala and Tony Allen in the first quarter, but he would be restricted by an unknown substitute in the second quarter?

So he forced Harris to the basket and then made a layup!

At this moment, Festus Azellee rushed over, fearing the confrontation in the air, and confronted James head-on. Under the double interference of Harris and Azellee, it was difficult for James, as strong as James to hit the ball. His layup hit the side of the basket, making 1 of 5 shots!

"LeBron still didn't make the game! Facing the defense of the Grizzlies' second team, James actually missed! Link won the rebound, and the Grizzlies' offense!"

Harris and Azeli were equivalent to the fourth and fifth positions to defend James. It would be strange if James could enter. After Link received the rebound, he did not control the ball himself, but handed the ball to Vasquis.

The cunning South American defender is the best at playing defensively counterattack.

Vasquis quickly pushed through the half, and at this time, Jimmy Butler pulled to the right corner to meet.

Vasquis faced Butler, as if he was about to pass the ball. Wade quickly accelerated two steps and rushed towards Butler, preparing to steal.

However, Vasquis was aiming at Butler and passed the ball back to the right. Link happened to insert it, received the basketball and scored a layup!

24 to 18, the Heat's plan to overtake the score was rejected as soon as it started!

"The beautiful offense and defense, the Grizzlies' two points were obtained entirely by the tacit cooperation of five Grizzlies players present and trust each other. It seems that the second team did not drag Link down. On the contrary, this makes the Grizzlies' offense smoother!"

Link pointed to Vasquis who passed the ball to him, and he knew that this guy was a good player in the conversion attack.

As soon as he came out, the Heat naturally hoped to win a goal on the offensive end. But just like James had just experienced, the rest of the Heat discovered that the defense of the Grizzlies' second-team team was top-notch!

Link pestered Ray Allen, which made Ray Allen, who was mainly shooting, very bad. Wade handed over to Jimmy Butler, and his defense made Wade, who scored 8 points in the first quarter, very passive.

In the end, Ray Allen received the basketball through heavy covers and made a three-pointer with Link's long arm stretched out!

Although the Heat scored this goal, they were still panicked because they knew better than anyone else that Ray Allen could not score against Link's defense every time.

"We're offensive, hurry up, run. We're still ahead, and we're all motivated!" Link didn't give others a chance to be discouraged. As soon as Ray Allen scored, Link shouted.

Although Link reminded him, the Heat were one step faster in the end and forced the Grizzlies into the positional battle.

Seeing this, Vasquis handed the ball to Link and gave up the ball possession. He knew that in positional battles, Link was better than Vasquis.

Link commanded the ball after the ball, and all the Grizzlies actively started running. Spolstra was stunned. Couldn’t this lineup be completed just by playing singles?

Of course not!

Link handed the ball to Harris who cut in. Harris has also become a little famous recently and has attracted the Heat's defensive attention.

Taking advantage of this moment, Link suddenly came to Wade. When Wade reacted, Jimmy Butler had already run away.

Harris broke through and passed the ball, Jimmy Butler drove out of the three-point line. This young boy wearing the No. 21 jersey will not miss any chance to prove himself. What's more, it's such an opportunity to have an open position!

"Brush!" 19 to 27, the Grizzlies widened the score difference to 9 points!

Link made an indirect assist, and the Grizzlies continued to score goals. It was not Ray Allen who made the lead in three-pointers in the second quarter, but was always labeled as "not shooting three-pointers". Jimmy Butler.

At that moment, James must have been in a dark face. The Heat's mixed lineup was completely unattractive!

For some reason, James suddenly remembered a sentence that made him very scared at this time.

"Today, you can't even get 30 points."
Chapter completed!
