867:Fill in the data sheet (3rd update)
The game has just begun, and Lore. Deng is still adjusting his physical condition.
He knew that his opponent today was not ordinary. Although the guy hadn't played an official game in two weeks, no one dared to underestimate his energy.
The referee blew the whistle and Lore. Deng only saw Gasol shoot the basketball to the Grizzlies halfcourt.
But at this moment, a "lightning" came from Lohr. Deng crossed in front of his eyes.
By the time the British reacted to the pursuit, he had been completely left behind, and only saw the big number 0 on the man's back.
Conley quickly got on the ball and a long pass got the ball into the hands of Link, who suddenly attacked. No chance on the pitch can escape Conley's eyes.
Link received the basketball when Lore. Deng had already caught up.
The Briton has a height of 2.06 meters and has a good reach. When he first entered the league, he was known as a "British teenager with a great body".
Deng's excellent physical condition gives him a unique advantage on the defensive end. Deng, who used to be with the Bulls, was one of James' least favorite small forwards in the East.
Although now Lore. Deng's peak has passed, and he is no longer at the level of the top five small forwards in the East. But the experience and defensive awareness were still there, and he didn't leave much room for Link.
Lohr. Deng reached out to cover Link as he prepared to retreat to defend Link from breaking through.
The British knew that their opponent today was extraordinary, so they were well prepared.
Just when he thought everything was foolproof, Link was two steps in at the three-point line and suddenly stopped a jump shot!
Lohr. Deng was taken aback, he thought he was perfect enough to defend his shots, or at least to make Link jealous.
However, Link was not threatened at all!
Link's shot was very quick, and Lore. Although Deng jumped and blocked at the first time, he still left a gap for Link.
A goal that left no one to react, and so it was born.
When Link scored, the Grizzlies players hadn't even had time to get into place.
"Scored? Can anyone tell me what's going on? "Hubby. Brown looked so confused that he didn't even see what was happening.
Link raised his right arm high and the first ball after the comeback felt very good.
Lohr. Deng was beaten to the point where he covered his head with his hands as soon as he came up, and he thought that as long as he was patient, serious, and hardworking, he could restrain Link.
But just by the first attack, Link let Lore . Deng experienced a deep sense of despair.
"That guy has a strong desire to score today, but be careful!" Wade walked up and patted Lore. Deng's back.
This kind of picture is estimated to be repeated several times today......
Link didn't get complacent after scoring the goal, but was very focused on keeping his centre of gravity down and directing his team-mates to defend.
The Heat weren't discouraged by conceding a goal in the opening game, and their resolve wasn't so weak.
As soon as the attack came, Wade moved immediately, borrowing McRoberts' cover to look for opportunities in the mid-range.
After James' departure, Wade once again became the Heat's No. 1 option on the offensive end.
He is averaging three more shots per game than last season, and his scoring average has risen to 21.5 points per game, the highest in nearly four years.
McRoberts and Wade's pick-and-roll play very well together, Butler was solidly blocked, and Tobias. Harris had to switch guards.
Seeing that it was Harris defending himself, Wade immediately accelerated to break through!
Wade is not like Link now, he can no longer explode his lightning speed without saying a word like he did when he was younger.
His breakthrough began to rely more on technique and tempo changes.
This time, Wade just pretended to make a mid-range jumper, slowed down and then accelerated sharply, catching Harris off guard.
During the breakaway, Wade took the initiative to give Harris a confrontation, carried the opponent away, gained a bit of space, and then prepared to make a layup.
At this time, Gasol has been pulled outside the three-point line by Bosh, and the Grizzlies are very empty under the basket. Wade's goal seemed to be a sure thing.
Just when Wade just threw the basketball into the air, he suddenly found that there was no light under the basket, and Link's big hand was sealed from the side!
"Isn't it......" Wade was frightened by Link's jump height, does this guy have wings on his back?
I saw Link hovering in the air at an incredible height, and grabbed the basketball that Wade had just taken off!
Grabbing, a very exaggerated way of blocking, is generally only possible for big players with tall arms and strong athleticism.
The most typical is Javier. With a center like McGee, he can occasionally bring a catch-and-roll performance to the fans.
Of course, only occasionally. A player doesn't have many blocks in a game, and it's even more difficult to get a catch out of the few block opportunities.
However, Link, as a No. 3 position who is not outstanding in height, unbelievably grabbed the basketball in the air directly.
Everyone in the audience was stunned, and everyone was unexpectedly surprised by this sudden and explosive picture.
"This ...... Did you see that!? Not only did Link jump very high, but at the highest point, the picture seemed to be frozen! "Chris. Webb was stunned and speechless at length.
After Link landed on the ground with one hand, he immediately passed the ball to launch a counterattack.
He actually went for the normal block at first, but when he jumped up, Link realized that he looked like he could grab the ball directly, so he did it.
Before the game, Judy. Seto told Link that his body was at its peak.
It's just that Link himself didn't expect that this peak state would be so terrifying!
Relying on Link's catch, Conley quickly dropped and threw a successful shot, easily counterattacking.
4-0, the Grizzlies got off to a smooth start. Link has also scored 2 points, 1 assist and 1 block, and his versatility has been vividly displayed.
Wade looked back at Link, who had just grabbed him, and swallowed.
Is that guy really just coming back from injury?
"Keep going, prevent them from dying, and don't leave any gaps!" Link continued to clapp, and all the Grizzlies players immediately became vigilant again.
Under the tight guard of the Grizzlies, the Heat conducted the ball for a while, ran several tactics, and did not get a chance.
In the end, Bosh had to force Gasol in the low post.
But the Spaniards' defense could have been breached casually, and Bosh's hasty jumper missed the crosshairs and hit the side of the basket.
Link aggressively ran up to protect the rebound, and Lore. Deng didn't have the slightest chance to grab offensive rebounds.
"Link was excited today, excited in every round." Hubi. Brown looked at Link's datasheet, which was instantly filled, and became sweaty.
Link did not deliberately brush up on the data, from the beginning of the game to the present, every decision Link made was the best choice at that time.
But his data can rise to a surprising level without realizing it.
This time, facing Lore. Deng's post, Link didn't hit hard, but gave the opportunity to Jimmy. Butler.
Butler carried Wade inside with his shoulder, but he clearly underestimated Wade's defensive ability.
Wade is indeed old, but it is not useless.
Wade reached out at the right time and pressed his palm against Butler's ball.
Although he couldn't directly fan Butler's basketball, he still managed to get the basketball out of his hands.
In any case, this is Wade's completion of the block.
Lohr. After Deng picked up the out-of-control basketball, he immediately found Cole, who was running at the front, and wanted Norris to get him. Kerr seized the opportunity to fight back.
Kerr managed to catch the basketball, but just turned around and was about to rush forward, only to find Link standing right in front of him.
"What!?"
Before Kerr could react to what was going on, Link took a dig and stole the basketball!
Before Kerr received the basketball, Link stood in the best steal position in advance, and Kerr was equivalent to crashing into it himself and being robbed.
The Heat's new starting point guard is still too immature in front of Link.
Link made a steal, and the Heat players had to drop off as soon as they were ready to participate in the counterattack.
It stands to reason that this is an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to score points on the inside.
But Link stopped outside the three-point line and came to a three-point pull!
Lohr. Deng watched Link make a confident move, and even forgot to reach out to interfere.
Because he knows that doing so won't help.
βBangοΌ Link hit a three-point shot, and in just a few rounds, Link blasted down 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal. β
"That's right, Link is back strong, he seems to have fled from Elba and made Napoleon scare all of Europe. Now, the return of Link is sure to put the whole league to shame! β
Spoelstra had to call an early timeout, as the Filipino-American coach knows based on his experience of playing the Grizzlies in the Finals over the past two years.
When Link plays like this, the Heat are already dead.
