588: Immediate Small Lineup Offense

Wade thought the Grizzlies' inside advantage had completely disappeared, but he didn't expect that the first attack was targeted by Link.

Link really played the role of a fourth position, and he protected the penalty area in a timely manner. Of course, this goal undoubtedly made the open and secret battle between Link and Wade continue to escalate.

Wade originally wanted to give Link a warning, but now he was the first to be cleaned up by Link.

Although the ball still belongs to the Heat, they still have a chance to continue attacking. There is no doubt that this ball has changed the momentum of both sides. As soon as it came up, Link wanted to turn the other side.

"Don't worry, look for opportunities slowly! Keep your anger guys, keep your breath!" Spolstripby Wade was still anxious. He didn't want to be suppressed when the Grizzlies lost their inside advantage.

Since it is a small lineup, you must have the advantage of the whole game!

Wade then held his breath and began to prepare for the next attack. Fortunately, Wade did not directly match Link, otherwise Link would definitely catch Wade and talk nonstop now.

Bosh sent the sideline ball. This time, James personally held the ball and prepared to stabilize this round.

Link was on guard. Now, there were no two insiders behind him to help him wipe his butt, and everything was up to him!

Gasol? There is no doubt that Gasol will definitely be mid-range by Bosh and cannot help him. Link knows very well that he is the second inside player now!

James flew the ball and then used Bosh's cover to break through.

Bosh's cover this time was very average. Link flashed flexibly and passed by the "Dragon King".

When James was about to make a layup, Link rudely put it on. Link's confrontation was very fierce. In front of the championship, no one would be gentle to anyone.

James didn't expect Link to catch up so quickly. This guy's defense is perfect!

No wonder, he was selected for the best defensive team with himself!

James gritted his teeth and decided to force him!

However, under this fierce confrontation, even James could not bear it.

In the air, his body was tilted and he could only barely throw the ball into the basket. What's even more annoying is that although Link's defense was fierce, it was quite clean. He raised his arms high and did not have any downward movements. James couldn't even make a foul.

In this way, James reluctantly made a layup and hit the box, and the Heat's offense failed again!

"I didn't go in again. Link defended the impact of James and Wade in one round. It was a great achievement! As the core of the Grizzlies, he set an example for the whole team!"

Mike Bryn began to praise him, while the fans in the American Airlines Center Arena were extremely disappointed.

It was finally easy for the atmosphere to get started, but even James and Wei didn't score a goal, which was really disappointing.

After defending James, Link did not hesitate at all and quickly jumped to grab the rebound! Randolph was not there, and Link also took on the task of collecting rebounds.

Playing the fourth position is not as simple as Anthony's singles. You should show wherever you play.

After grabbing the rebound, Link handed the ball to Conley and was not in a hurry to move forward. Next, the Grizzlies' small lineup was replaced to show their firepower.

Surprisingly, the Grizzlies' offensive rhythm was not fast. Conley was very patient in possession of the ball, and although the other three outside runs were active, they did not pursue speed. In the end, the Grizzlies still attacked in a position.

But unlike in the past, after a series of runs, four Grizzlies stood outside the three-point line, leaving Gasol alone on the edge of the penalty area!

People thought that the Grizzlies would use their speed to hit the basket like the Heat, or use their shooting ability to throw three-pointers.

But the Grizzlies didn't try that in the first round, but instead scored the ball into the inside!

Who said that the Grizzlies' inside advantage will disappear when playing in a small lineup?

After the lineup was opened, Conley passed the ball to the low post, and Gasol played Bosh with his back!

Now, all the Heat players were stunned.

Although Bosh is the Heat's inside defense center, his defensive ability is not much stronger this year. It's okay to assist in defense, but when facing the low-post singles in the strong inside, Bosh is a little unable to withstand it.

Gasol's scores were not high in the first two games of the series, mainly because the inside line was too crowded and he could not play it.

But now, only him and Bosh are left in the three-point line, and Gasol can attack as much as he wants!

After receiving the ball, Gasol took two steps inside and walked to the basket. Bosh could not resist the impact of a pure center, not to mention that he was a star center selected for the double second team.

After pushing to the basket, Gasol turned around and hooked his hand.

It is difficult to block the hook, and Gasol has a height advantage. Bosh is beyond the reach of this goal!

Basketball is hollowed out, and the Grizzlies who play away are the first to score! Moreover, the scoring method is extremely retro!

"I actually chose the inside singles. The Grizzlies' offense is very interesting. It can be seen that they do not want to completely give up their inside advantage. I have to say that even if there is only one bear on the black and white bears, the power is quite amazing."

Mike Bryn applauded. The Grizzlies' tactics were very successful. The Heat didn't dare to double-team at all. After all, the three-pointers of four people outside could kill the game.

James and Wade were very depressed and thought they could fight a fast-paced attack. But they didn't know that they were so uncomfortable.

Now, the Heat have no advantage of misalignment on the offensive end, but they continue to maintain their inside disadvantage on the defensive end and are eaten by the Grizzlies.

The only thing that the Heat is thankful is that Gasol is not a center with very stable offense. He has never averaged more than 15 points in his regular season so far, so he is far from being a scorer.

He can't play like this every round, nor can he score a goal every round. If Gasol is replaced by Yao Ming, the Heat can basically raise the white flag in advance.

If Gasol was replaced by Yao Ming, the Heat would have to replace two inside players to attack, and the small lineup would definitely not be able to play. Therefore, the emergence of the small ball era is indeed related to the lack of high-quality centers.

Of course, it is precisely because of the emergence of the small ball era that the big men have not developed in the direction of Yao Ming and O'Neal, which has led to the scarcity of low-level killers. These two factors are mutually relied on.

The Heat continued to attack, and when both sides competed in a small lineup, the Heat could not be misplaced.

Wade was very annoyed by Iguodala, and James was naturally not relaxed when facing Link.

Iguodala's comeback is still very effective, and he is always more experienced than Jimmy Butler. Although it was the first time playing in the finals, the nine years he worked in the league were not in vain.

In the end, before the 24-second offensive time ended, the Heat still had no chance to pass. James had to hit Link's defensive jump shot from the middle distance.

But unexpectedly, James' slightly stiff jump shot actually hit the front board... Link was really helpless.

To put it bluntly, this ball is just a fool.

The Heat fans cheered and their team finally scored. However, James couldn't laugh. He knew that the good luck just now would not accompany him for the whole game.

"Good luck, LeBron." Link said this to James with a deliberately smile, which made the Heat No. 6 frown even deeper!

The Grizzlies continued to attack. This time, Bosh directly circled around the front to defend Gasol. He had to go around the front to defend at the beginning, which shows how frustrating the "Dragon King" played.

Another meaning of the front defense is, "I definitely can't defend you from the conventional way, so I can only go to extremes."

But this time, the Grizzlies did not continue to feed Gasol the ball. The reason for the first round was that they wanted Gasol to shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring, but to make him deterrent.

Now, Bosh had to focus all his attention on Gasol. For the Grizzlies, the tactics were successful.

Bosh cannot make up for the restricted area, so the Heat's hinterland is really open.

Conley and Link hit each other hand, and after handing them, Link paused for a while, James slowed down.

Little did he know that the next second, Link suddenly accelerated again and caught James off guard!

"With a beautiful rhythm change, Link's breakthrough is always very smart!" Mike Brynn sighed while watching. Watching Link play is really a pleasure.

Although it is just a simple rhythm change, it is not easy to be able to flexibly do such details in intense competitions.

Link continued to accelerate, but the Heat did not even have any obstacles in the interior. Bosh was completely restrained by Gasol, and the others were unable to return to the interior as soon as possible.

The Heat's defense was like a thin layer of paper. Link just poked it lightly and the defense line was broken.

Now, the only suspense is whether James can turn the tide like Link Made Wade just now.

Link stabbed into the basket diagonally, and James chased him relentlessly. Although he was a No. 3 player, James averaged 0.8 blocks per game. Like his teammate Wade and Josh of the Hawks, he was a chasing maniac.

James is bound to win this goal!

Link jumped towards the basket, and the height was surprising. But in terms of athleticism, James really would not lose to anyone.

He also jumped up suddenly, and his arms were full of strength! If necessary, he would not hesitate to grab Link's basketball with both hands!

However, Link did not dunk from the front, but completed a 180° turn in the air! Then he extended his arm to the other side of the basket and completed the dunk with one hand!

James's jumping height is enough and the timing of blocking is very accurate. But under Link's action, James ultimately won't be able to catch anything!

"Beautiful turn and dunk, God, did Link treat this as a slam dunk competition? This ball is very difficult. He can still turn in the air calmly under the pursuit of LeBron. His psychological quality is really strong!"

Link's dunk was very exciting, and James couldn't guarantee that he would definitely be able to dunk the same effect just now in actual combat.

The Heat fans were all dumbfounded. Some people dared to show their dunks under James's pursuit and even succeeded!

Link seemed to be not at all inferior to James!

From tactics to personal abilities, the Grizzlies seem to have nothing worse than the Heat.

After landing, Link pointed to the championship banner of the US Airlines Center and then made a tearing move with both hands.
