The Heat was beaten 7-0 at the beginning of the game, and the Grizzlies showed their great strength after welcoming Link back.
Spoelstra knew that once he was led by the Grizzlies, he would become passive. Sometimes, this passive situation will continue until the end of the game.
But the Heat have no retreat now. They are already in a three-game losing streak, and they must resist the pressure today.
So Spoelstra gritted his teeth and took a dangerous move, "Block the inside line!"
In the first two games, the Grizzlies' shooting performance in the middle and long distances was not satisfactory.
More often, the Grizzlies rely on their fights at the basket to gain an advantage.
Now Spoelstra must bet once, except for Link, let others shoot mid-to-long range.
As long as the Grizzlies are not allowed to play more flowers, the Heat will still have a chance.
Wade nodded. No one knows how the Grizzlies will play in the long-range shooting today, but they have to try.
The game restarted, and the Heat did not make any personnel adjustments.
The first attack after returning from a timeout, the Heat finally broke the deadlock of scoring zero.
Wade finally broke the scoring drought with this successful layup, but all the Heat players know that their troubles are not over.
Whether the defense can be successful is the key to whether the Heat can win today.
Link is still tightly pressed by Lor Deng, for him, the defense will not change much.
But he noticed that the rest of the Heat seemed to shrink inwardly or unconsciously, and Link instantly understood the Heat's strategy.
Although Link did not play in the first two games, he did not patronize the fun off the court.
The problems exposed by the Grizzlies in the first two games were also seen by Link.
Inaccurate shots from mid-to-long range can only be scored by breakthroughs and singles in the paint. This is the biggest problem for the Grizzlies.
Link immediately pushed away the panting "British Jordan" and took the initiative to take the ball from Conley.
The Miami Heat think mid- and long-range shooting is the Grizzlies’ weakness, but Link doesn’t think so.
After Link held the ball again, the Heat's contraction became tighter. Lor Deng guards Link's shots from the outside, and once Link breaks through, the Heat will be able to block at least three people immediately.
Link waved his hand, motioning everyone to pull away. The Heat players are even more convinced that their strategy is correct!
Lor Deng did not dare to release Link at one step. Although the game has only played a few rounds, he has already realized how threatening Link's shots are from outside.
So Link broke through the British without much effort. Lor Deng was not known for speed, and Link surpassed the opponent by half his body in just one step.
But the Heat did not panic. The moment Link completed the breakthrough, the Heat players contracted in.
If the Grizzlies don’t score a goal, this defensive strategy can save the Heat!
Link didn't mess around either, he was optimistic about the pass goal before the breakthrough.
During the breakthrough with the ball, Link seemed to pass the ball to the side casually and delivered the "ammunition" to Conley.
Conley flicked a shot from outside the three-point line and shot Norris Cole, who was inexperienced to defend back and forth, into the air.
Kangli took the opportunity to break through with the ball, and then made a jump shot from the middle distance!
Spoelstra opened his eyes wide, whether the ball can hit or not will directly determine the fate of the Heat.
But Conley finally disappointed Spoelstra. His mid-range jumper was very steady, and he went straight to the net after crossing a perfect rainbow arc!
"Link once again found his teammate in the open position. This is what makes him scary. Like LeBron, Link's passing vision is absolutely top-notch on the forward line."
Spoelstra shook his head disappointedly, the plan failed the first time it was executed.
But this is not the end of the world. Conley's ability to make a single investment does not mean that he can make a second investment. Conley can score, doesn't mean that others can also score.
Spoelstra didn't give any instructions, he wanted the Heat to continue to execute according to the original plan!
But before the Heat's counterattack started, it was destroyed by Link's steal.
Lor Deng is 2.06 meters tall and has a relatively large advantage in the third position. But like most high threes, he has a fatal problem-too high dribble center of gravity.
Lor Deng was famous in the Bulls, relying on simple cut shots. He is tall and has long arms, his shots are not easily disturbed, and his shooting stability is excellent.
It is precisely because of the unpretentious offensive tactics that people are not impressed by this former All-Star forward.
As for the ball-handling singles skills, that has not been the strong point of Lor Deng.
So when Lor Deng was preparing to attack with the ball this time, he had just taken the first step, and Link took the ball directly.
For Link, who can grab the ball directly from Paul, it's easy to steal a Lor Deng who has a high dribble center.
After being intercepted, the experienced Lor Deng hugged Link directly and applied for a foul for himself, which did not make Link rush to fight back.
But Link doesn’t feel upset, positional warfare can do the same for the Heat!
The Heat's defensive strategy is the same as before. They focus on protecting the basket and paint area, and they give a lot of space to people outside of Link on the outside.
But this time, Norris Cole didn't dare to empty Conley unscrupulously, so Link put the target on Jimmy Butler.
Wade was already "salivating" on Link. He just took a big shot of Butler on the inside and made Wade a treat.
He firmly believes that Butler will attack inside. After all, last season, Butler's long-range shooting was still very unstable.
Players with unstable projections may not be able to escape this vicious circle throughout their career.
Therefore, Wade's contraction is quite determined.
Link easily passed Lor Deng once again, this time Link used rapid and continuous change of direction.
With Leonard unable to defend Link in one-on-one situations, it is also difficult for the entire league to find a player who can contain Link in one-on-one.
It seems that almost no one could withstand Jordan's impact.
Wade decisively dropped Butler and rushed towards Link. No matter how great Link is, it is impossible to score a goal efficiently when everyone shrinks.
But just when Wade rushed to Link, Link rolled the ball behind his waist and made a pass from behind.
Jimmy Butler received the basketball mid-range on the right and shot it immediately!
Spoelstra believes in his plan. Despite the fact that Butler scores a lot this season, he mostly relies on breakthroughs and strong play at the basket.
Butler's shot is still unreliable!
"brush!"
"What!?" Spoelstra frowned, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined!
"Jimmy Butler didn't waste Link's brilliant pass from behind. His mid-range jumper shot into the net. Speaking of which, this is the second consecutive round for the Heat to shrink the defense of Link. They kept the defense so small, it really didn't. Is it a problem?" Hubie Brown also saw the Heat's strategy, but he didn't think it would work.
The reason why the Grizzlies did not shoot well in the previous games was because they didn't have the point to break the line of defense.
Although Butler broke through very well, he has not yet reached the point where the opponent's entire defense line needs to shrink. Defending Butler one-on-one is barely enough.
Conley, Carter, Tony Allen and others are not able to break the line of defense.
Therefore, many of the Grizzlies' mid- and long-range jumpers are made under interference. The hit rate is not high, which is justified.
In the absence of tearing the defense, the Grizzlies will naturally increase the number of melee combat in the paint.
But today, the situation is very different. The appearance of Link has improved the Grizzlies' ability to tear through opponents' defenses by more than one level.
In this way, the other Grizzlies have gotten much better shots than the previous few days.
Under severe interference, the Grizzlies players may not have that strong shooting ability in interference. But open shots are the Grizzlies' strengths.
The Grizzlies players except Tony Allen, Whiteside and Delavidova basically all have shooting ability. Including Gasol, the center, also has a shot.
Spoelstra’s idea was correct ~EbookFREE.me~ but it would be completely useless on the grizzly bear with Link.
After the first quarter, the top Spoelstra continued to insist on his decision.
As a result, he allowed the Grizzlies to hit a 60% shooting rate in the first quarter!
The Memphis Grizzlies taught Spoelstra's heat severely in the long distance. In the case of welcoming Link back, the Grizzlies' offense has become completely different from before.
After the first quarter, the Grizzlies scored 34 points! For the Miami Heat, only Keling scored 20 points.
Leading the opponent by 14 points in the first quarter, the difference in strength between the two teams is clear at a glance.
"The Grizzlies' offensive is really fierce. The appearance of Link makes the offense of the rest of the Grizzlies easier."
"Yeah, Link has scored 5 assists in a single quarter. The Heat's shrinking defense is completely useless. If the Heat don't work harder afterwards, Link will really have a hard time breaking Draymond Green. That’s because the game may end early. At that time, Link will no longer play."
Hubie Brown looked at the 60% shooting rate on the data sheet, and wanted to watch Link play a little longer. It became a luxury.
This is really a happy trouble.
