"Damn it, it's a crooked way!" Budenhoze was surprised. Who would have thought that Link actually scored the first goal of the game in that way?

I have to say that Link is indeed a very anti-traditional superstar, and it is no wonder that the league has tried its best to weaken Link's influence.

However, a mere goal cannot explain any problem. If you persist in the last minute of the basketball game, the winner will be the one who persists until the last minute.

The Hawks quickly attacked and attacked, which was the Hawks' strength.

The Hawks' offense looks simple and unpretentious, nothing more than pick-and-roll, pass-and-cut, and open jump shots.

But this offensive method is efficient, and often without realizing it, the Hawks widen the gap.

In this regard, Jogel's solution is to resolutely guard people.

He believes in the Grizzlies' single defense ability, and they may be the team with the most players in the league in the best defensive team.

As long as there is no space or space, the Hawks' ball will be difficult to operate.

The Grizzlies do do this. The Hawks' lineup does not have an offensive focus, but everyone can be the offensive focus.

That being the case, let everyone enjoy the feeling of being taken care of.

The Hawks' offense is very smooth, with fast and accurate passing.

But after most of the day, there was no gap.

Finally, when Horford received the basketball from the middle distance of the high position, there was no more time left for the Hawks.

Horford did not fight Whiteside hard, but saw him flick the shot, and then dribbled the ball and broke through, ready to hit the basket!

Horford's pace was fast, breaking through Whiteside like a defender.

But just as he jumped and made a layup, Whiteside jumped up with all his might, rushing up without any hesitation to block!

"Try to block the basket with the advantage of athleticism and don't give them any chance to score easily."

This is the second half of what Link said to Whiteside, and Whiteside obediently executed it.

Link knew very well that the Hawks' lineup was very lacking in athleticism.

Whether it is Teague in number one position or Horford in number five, they are not of the type of flying and escaping.

Although Horford took off first than Whiteside, Whiteside's bounce speed was faster than Horford.

This made him come from now on, and he was a big shot behind Horford!

"Bang!"

The basketball made a crisp sound, and even the Hawks could not fly freely in the Grizzlies' no-fly zone!

"Whiteside was very active and completed the block without hesitation. This is the advantage of the Grizzlies. They are much stronger than the opponent in terms of athleticism!"

After Horford landed, he turned back in surprise. He had obviously left Whiteside to complete the breakthrough. It was an attack that was too reasonable!

The Hawks are the team with the lowest blocking rate in the league because they hardly make a move. Every attack is leaning on reasonableness. They don't have absolute chances and will not shoot easily.

However, the same thing is true, it is not enough to deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Whiteside was indeed thrown away by half of his body, but even so, Whiteside could make up for the gap by relying on his athletic ability.

The chased basketball hit the rebound and bounced back to Harris's hand, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!

The strong Carol immediately stuck Link's route, and the rest of the Eagles also acted immediately, so that the counterattack did not make it possible.

The game was dragged into the positional battle that the Hawks were good at, but Budenhozer's self-confidence was no longer as strong as before.

This time, Jimmy Butler broke through Korver's defense and forced himself to the basket.

With Horford's timely repair of defense, Butler still chose to make a layup.

But in the end, the referee awarded the Hawks a defensive foul and Butler got a free throw.

Once again, the Eagles' defense was not wrong. But once, the Grizzlies' offense was done.

Korver will always appear between the opponent and the basket, and Horford will always appear in the position where he is most needed.

But these are not enough!

Butler made two free throws, and the Grizzlies led 4-0. At the beginning, the Hawks played very passively.

Now, Budenhozer sees the difference between the two teams.

Indeed, the Eagles have made their defense to the extreme.

But the Grizzlies players are already accustomed to surviving in desperate situations.

They have played countless tougher games than this, and most of the time, their opponents have actually made no mistakes.

In the regular season, maybe it is about who makes fewer mistakes. But in the playoffs and finals, it is about who can still score goals without making mistakes!

The Grizzlies have been baptized by this kind of competition many times, but for the Hawks, their experience in this area is very lacking.

In one attack after that, Millsap went down after pick-and-roll, received a pass from Teague, and made a mid-range jump shot.

Harris' defense was one step slower and could not form effective interference.

Millsap breathed a big sigh, and he thought this goal could finally break the deadlock for the team.

However, Millsap had just thrown the ball and his eyes became dim and dull.

Whiteside was waiting for him behind Harris early on, and after the first blocking and tasted the sweetness, he had become extremely confident.

The jumping height of the "Big White Border" was amazing. He directly pulled Millsap's shot back through Harris like playing volleyball.

After flying twice in a row, Budenhoze was stunned!

"Whiteside completed the block for the second time in a row! God, this guy is full of energy today!"

Although the basketball eventually flew out of bounds and the ball rights still belonged to the Eagles, Hubby Brown on the commentary stage still saw goosebumps.

In the past, only Link could have staged such a good show that was different from others.

Now, the Grizzlies have the second player who can do this.

Before the game, some voices said that the reckless and rude Whiteside would be tricked by the two high-ball players, Millsap and Horford.

But the facts have proved that in the face of absolute athletic ability advantages, the high level of light ball quotient is far from enough.

Now, the Grizzlies' inside deterrence suddenly increases. There is no doubt that this will make the Hawks' inside fearful.

Of course, they will gradually forget that they are actually the one who has the advantage of the inside!

Link made Whiteside excitedly, not to make data for him.

The Hawks sent out the outbound ball, but this time Teague's pass to Carol was intercepted by Link.

The Hawks have second only to the Spurs' assist rate this season, and are one of the teams in the league that rely most on passing.

Frequent passes can give the Hawks many open shots, but also, excessive passes can increase the chance of the Hawks passing mistakes.

Once you understand the eagle's intentions, it is not difficult to steal.

They were both cheated and stolen. The Eagles have not taken any advantage since the start of the game.

They, the number one in the East, seem to be in front of the Grizzlies.

After stealing, Link took the opportunity to quickly move, and easily threw away Carol and dunked.

6-0, Budenhozer had to stop the game. The Hawks, known for their high shooting percentage, missed continuously after the opening game!

Budenhozer knew that with the inside being completely blocked, the Hawks must now seek opportunities outside the three-point line in advance.

If the score difference continues to be widened by the Grizzlies, the situation will become very passive.

He told his players that they had to survive this difficult period.

"As long as we stand until Whiteside is replaced, we will turn our disadvantages into advantages! So, we must keep a close eye on the score during this period!"

Budenhoze believes that the opportunity for the Eagles has not yet arrived. At that time, their counterattack will definitely be very fierce!

On the other hand, Link was not worried about it, "It seems that you are so happy, Hassan."

"Hehe, I'm so happy to listen to your suggestions." Whiteside, who easily took two blocks, scratched his head happily.

Link patted Whiteside on the shoulder, and he did not let himself down today.

Now Link is a little itchy, and he is ready to take the No. 5 position at any time.
Chapter completed!
