In the first quarter of the game, Stevens let the starters play more than nine minutes, just to suppress James. Stevens' decision proved to be effective.

Lin scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the single quarter, which can be regarded as suppressing James in all aspects.

However, Stevens did not take it lightly, and he played this game as if it were a grand final. And in the finals, there is no team that will give up hope when they fall behind in the first quarter.

The Heat's comeback is going to be fierce, very, very violent. Now, the first thing Stevens has to solve is the rotation problem.

Thunder. Aaron, Norris. Cole, Lane. Anderson...... The players on the Heat bench have also been in excellent form recently. In the first quarter, the Heat didn't use much of a mixed lineup of bench and main players. But in the second quarter, Spoelstra will definitely make adjustments.

And the Grizzlies started for more than nine minutes, and now it's on the main team, the players are too tired. It's a pure second lineup, and I'm afraid I can't beat it.

Soon, though, Stevens figured out what to do. His on-the-spot command and dispatch ability is indeed worthy of his identity.

"Link, you play with the second team in the second quarter. The other four starters, you guys take a break. Wait until the end of the second quarter when the Heat have to send in all the benches, and then you will play. Even without Link, I'm sure you'll be able to handle everything, right? ”

Stevens waved his hand confidently and let the bench, who had only played for a short time in the first quarter, continue to play. The second team led by Link is not necessarily easier to deal with than the second team led by James.

The electronic beep sounded throughout the audience, and the second quarter of the game officially began. After seeing the players from both sides step onto the pitch, the eyes of the commentators and fans widened. Because the lineups sent by both sides in the second quarter of the game were beyond everyone's expectations.

Over there with the Heat, Ray. Allen and "Birdman" Anderson continued to play and mingled into the starting lineup. James moved into the No. 4 position, and Ray. Allen was in the number three position.

The Grizzlies are even more scary, and they actually sent a lineup of four starting substitutes!

Vasquis, Jimmy. Butler, Link, Harris, and Azeli. The substitutes who came out late in the first quarter were all but Tony. Aaron and Nick. Yang Wai, all of them continued to stay on the field.

In the first quarter, Stevens did let the starters play a little too long. It wasn't until the ninth minute later that the substitutions began. He did this mainly to consume James off the court and maintain the suppression of James.

But even so, at the beginning of the second quarter, four substitutes were left on the court in one go, which still makes people have to admire Stevens' courage.

Spoelstra smiled, now, he wants to see how the Grizzlies can resist the Heat's counterattack! Do you think you can hold the scene with only one Link? Now it's 5 to 1!

The Heat lost to the Grizzlies early in the season because of Nick. Yang erupted suddenly and inexplicably. But the Grizzlies are on the bench, and it can't break out every time.

"Guys, don't be nervous. If we can handle the Heat in the first quarter, we can do it in the second quarter! Hey, just go according to the plan, got it? ”

Before going on the field, Link blinked at the fourth man behind him.

These four people, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all recruits.

Vasquith, who entered the league in the same year as Link, is only in his third year this year. For point guards, junior year is not an age that can be called maturity.

Jimmy. Butler and Tobias. Harris, both sophomores. And when the two were in their rookie years, they also didn't get much playing time.

Festus. Aizeli, a first-year rookie, came off the bench as Gasol this season. It gives the impression of a blue-collar insider, and there is nothing brilliant about it.

And what about the Heat? Not only the Big Three were on the field at the same time, but even Ray was a substitute. Aaron and Anderson "Birdman" are no slouch either.

The Grizzlies' temporary lead comes at a cost!

If the Grizzlies' bench were to face the Heat directly, they might have stage fright. But after following Link's appearance, everyone suddenly stopped being nervous.

But Link is only a third year.

The game restarted, and this time it was the Heat who took the lead. James received the basketball from the outside, and he had a strong desire to score, after all, the first quarter was too embarrassing.

I thought I could play Randolph in a wrong position, and I could easily score by breaking through. Now it's good, the opposing player has become Harris!

After playing a few games with the Grizzlies, Harris's confidence has soared. He averaged only 5+2 per game in the Bucks, and his data in these games with the Grizzlies was 12+7, more than doubled!

So, even in the face of James, Harris didn't get too nervous. He was firmly in front of James and tried to help Link take the pressure off his shoulders.

James tried to break through at a speed, but to his great surprise, Harris actually followed, and the physical confrontation was not completely crushed!

The Heat play a small lineup, and the Grizzlies are also equivalent to a small lineup. Harris is not a traditional No. 4 position, and he can keep up with James!

James was not reconciled, and in the first quarter, Iguodala and Toney. Even if Allen takes turns to torture, he will be limited by a little-known small substitute in the second quarter?

So he forcibly carried Harris to the basket, and then went straight to the basket!

It was at this time that Festus. Azeli rushed over, fearless in the air, and went toe-to-toe with James. With the double interference of Harris and Azeli, it is difficult for James to hit the ball. His layup hit the side of the basket and he was 1-of-5!

"LeBron still didn't go in! In the face of the defense of the Grizzlies' second team, James actually missed! Link grabbed the rebound, the Grizzlies' offense! ”

Harris and Azeli are equivalent to shrinking at the fourth or fifth position to defend James, and it's strange that James can score. After Link received the rebound, he did not control the ball himself, but handed the ball to Vasquith.

A cunning South American defender who is best at playing defensive counter-attacks.

Vasquith quickly pushed through the half, and at this point, Jimmy. Butler pulls to the bottom right corner to pick up.

Vasquith faced Butler as if to pass the ball. Wade hurried two quick steps towards Butler and prepared for a steal.

Vasquith, however, was facing Butler and making a back-to-back pass to the right. Link just plugs in, catches the basketball, and scores a layup!

24-18, the Heat's plan to overtake the score was rejected as soon as it came up!

"Beautiful offense and defense, the Grizzlies' two points are completely won by the tacit cooperation and mutual trust of the five Grizzlies players on the floor. It seems that the second lineup didn't hold Link back. On the contrary, it makes the Grizzlies' offense seem to be more fluid! ”

Link pointed to Vasquis, who was passing the ball to him, and he knew that this guy was a good player in switching offenses.

With a shot conceded as soon as they came up, the Heat naturally wanted to pull one back on the offensive end. But just like what James experienced just now, the rest of the Heat found that the Grizzlies' defense of the second team is top-tier in the league!

Link pestered Ray. Aaron, which makes the projection-based thunder. Aaron was very bad. Wade handed it to Jimmy. Butler, his defense made Wade, who scored 8 points in the first quarter, very passive.

Eventually, Ray. Allen received the basketball through heavy cover, and hit a three-point shot with Link's long arm!

Although the Heat scored this goal, they were still panicking. Because they know better than anyone that Ray. Allen can't score against Link's defence every time.

"It's our offense, quick, run. We're still ahead, and we're all motivated! "Link didn't give the others a chance to get discouraged, Ray. As soon as Allen scored, Link shouted.

Despite Link's reminder, in the end, the Heat were one step ahead and forced the Grizzlies into positional warfare.

Seeing this, Vasquith handed the ball to Link and relinquished possession. He knew that in positional warfare, Link was better than Vasquith.

Link's ball command and the Grizzlies all started running aggressively. Spoelstra was stunned, this lineup, isn't it just Link's singles?

Of course not!

Link gave the ball to Harris, who cut in, and Harris has also made a name for himself lately, attracting the attention of the Heat's defense.

Taking advantage of this time, Link suddenly crossed in front of Wade. By the time Wade reacted, Jimmy. Butler has already run away.

Harris breaks through the ball, Jimmy. Butler drove from beyond the three-point line. This young boy wearing the number 21 jersey will not miss any opportunity to prove himself. What's more, it's such an opportunity for an empty seat!

"Brush!" 19-27, the Grizzlies widened the gap to 9 points!

Link assists indirectly, and the Grizzlies continue to score. It wasn't Ray who led the three-pointer in the second quarter. Allen, but Jimmy, who has historically been labeled "can't shoot threes". Butler.

At that moment, James must have darkened his face. The Heat's mixed lineup is not dominant at all!

For some reason, James suddenly remembered something that made him very scared at this time.

"Today, you don't even want to get 30 points."

Link's pre-match provocation seems to have begun to materialize.
