: 314: Use offense to resist offense

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 have a turning point, Link stood up as the offensive core of the Grizzlies.
This is what Hollins likes Link, an offensive core, in fact, not necessarily every game must score high points. But at critical moments, when the team needs you, you have to stand up and make a final decision.
There is no doubt that Link did this. When Wade started to go crazy, when the Heat began to approach the score. Link stepped up to make a final decision and helped the team stabilize the position.
Compared to crazy shots and high points, such an offensive core is obviously more beneficial to the team.
James and Wade look at me, I look at you. The two guys are in a tacit understanding, but they didn't expect to have a tacit understanding to the point where they would be dangling together.
Of course, from another perspective, Link flew both James and Wade 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 fell into a to celebrate Link's goal, almost booked a position in the top 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 it 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 recovered from the loss of points.
Wade is not so easy to admit defeat, he admits that Link's response just now is really hard. But the basketball game is like a marathon, and an occasional sprint can be ineffective.
The Heat continued to counterattack, and the fans all cheered for the Heat players with the warmest cheers. This is the only thing they can do.
This time, the ball-handler became James, and Randolph had to go out to defend. On the other side, Bosh also reached the middle distance. As a player with a mid-range shooting rate of almost 50%, Gasol naturally can't let Bosh go.
As a result, the Grizzlies' proud inside line was emptied. Wade took the opportunity to cut in, and his backhand also pushed Link in secret.
James's just right pass gave Wade a chance to directly attack the frame. Although Link was chasing after Wade, Wade went to a counter basket and used the basket as a barrier to avoid Link's blockade. cover.
The audience exploded again, Wade scored 6 points!
"Dwyane Wade is not to be outdone. He is still scoring! The point difference is back to single digits. This time, can the Grizzlies continue!?"
The two teams have played a bit of 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, and it seemed that Gangster was really angry. That guy's scoring energy is like a senior, he doesn't take care of the young man at all.
But it doesn't matter, the Grizzlies still lead by 9 points. Moreover, there is no chance to pull the score apart.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Heat fans shouted rhythmically, so that the entire arena was filled with the word "defense". This is the home court advantage. Having fans shouting behind them can make the home team more excited and harder.
Under such circumstances, the visiting team usually has more pressure.
But what Link heard was not the passionate cry, but the final cry of the Heat fans to hide their fear.
Link didn't be polite with Wade this time, and directly turned his back near the free throw line for the ball!
Wade prepared to reach out to block Link's receiving route several times, but was beaten roughly. Link's playing habits are not like a second-year player at all!
Conley hit the ground to pass the ball to Link, Link back and Wade one-on-one! The Heat's defense dare not double-team, they would rather believe in Wade's defensive ability than give the Grizzlies a gap. After all, Link's passing threat is too great.
Wade gritted his teeth, which made his cheeks bigger. He did not expect that Link would challenge himself for the second round in a row.
After suffering from the last loss, this time Wade did not defend himself, but used his normal focus to deal with Link's back attack.
The physical contact between the two parties is fierce, and every time they collide, they are almost always on the verge of fouling. But even so, Link took two steps forward.
Seeing that the distance is almost the same, Link rolls over and makes a jumper.
Link's movement of turning over and leaning back was not fast, but his movements were very smooth and steady. Wade reached out desperately to block, but he was so close to basketball.
In the end, Link took the shot calmly without much interference. Wade felt unbelievable. Link this guy turned over and leaned back, actually so kind of like Kobe!
"Swipe!" The tumbling sound of the Nets reminded Wade. He turned to look and found that Bosh was already picking up a basketball on the ground.
Actually got in!
"Damn it!" Wade must admit, and Link gave him another surprise. Kobe-style turn-over jumper? How many people in the entire league can reproduce?
But at this moment, there was one standing in front of him.
"Link responded to Wade again. It seems that the two of them are on the bar today! Link didn't back down. Wade scored a goal and he scored. In short, Link just didn't let the Heat narrow the difference to one place. Count! The game is getting more and more exciting. Link fought James in the first quarter, and Wade again in the second quarter, and they didn't fall short. Now, no one will question his identity as an All-Star starting forward."
Mike Brin was a little surprised, Link's performance exceeded his expectations. The last time Mike Brin watched Link play, Link was still a smart and full potential team player.
But now? Link can play the planet. Link is growing step by step, and the growth rate is as fast as a German sports car on unlimited speed.
Subsequently, Wade used the screen to break inside, causing Link to foul. Wade is really starting to compete with Link. This lightning seems to have come from 2006, unstoppable and difficult to contain.
After making another two free throws from the free throw line, Wade has already scored 8 points in the second quarter! Compared with the first quarter scoring and swallowing eggs + 3 turnovers, it is a bottoming out.
However, after passing, Link used his iconic cross-step to stop the shot and hit Wade with sweat on his forehead.
Go in again! He made Link score again! Wade has interacted with many people in his life, once with James in the playoffs, and once against Kobe at Staples.
But he never thought that one day, against himself, he would be a player who was not drafted!
"Link's signature offense, Wade can't be defended! After Wade scored 8 points in a row, the Heat did not open the score! The point difference is still 11 points. Coach Spoelstra called a timeout again. Link led by example, As the core of the Grizzlies’ offense, he resisted the Heat’s fierce counterattack by scoring!"
Under the exclamation of Mike Brin~EbookFREE.me~ Link walked off the court. And all around him are teammates who clap or touch his head.
Link's actions to resist the Heat's counterattacks undoubtedly further aroused everyone's fighting spirit.
So the next game in the second quarter, the Grizzlies began their offensive performance.
After coming back from the timeout, James made consecutive shots, Randolph still struggled to defend James.
But then, Xiao Kangli and Gasol scored goals one after another, pulling the score apart again.
At the end of the second quarter, Bosh made a brave three-pointer, as if the Heat will eventually enter the second half with a single-digit point difference.
As a result, Randolph beat James a 2+1 after passing, and retrieved these 3 points.
In the second half of the second quarter, Link's shots dropped sharply, and he could focus more on stopping and defending. But the Grizzlies’ offense was not affected by this. As long as Link brings out his aura, the Grizzlies' offense doesn't require 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 the half game! And when Wade, James and Bosh have all performed well, the Heat are still behind by double digits!
Link, who scored 15 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in the half, became the focus of the camera. His battle with Wade at the beginning of the second quarter is the key to the Grizzlies' ability to stabilize their advantage!
Before the intermission, Mike Brin used one sentence to describe Link's performance in the first half.
"He is a well-deserved offensive core. The Heat want to solve the Grizzlies, so they have to send someone with more firepower than Link!"
The Big Three of the Heat said they wanted to cry. Today, someone who is more horizontal than them came out.
