Swapping Randolph for Butler means Wade and James can impact the basket more easily.

So next, it is not easy to completely contain the main Heat by defense. The Grizzlies will have to be extremely efficient on the offensive end to have a chance of recovering their slump.

Quinn. Snyder then advised Joggle to let Link possess the ball, so that LeBron would not be able to stay in the box because he would have to come out to defend Link, which greatly weakened the Heat's ability to protect the rim.

To put it bluntly, the ability of both sides to protect the frame has been weakened, so this game must be played in a confrontational way. If you only fight defense, you can't eat the Heat who are all in full state of the Big Three.

You can defend against one or two, but it's hard to defend against three superstar-caliber players at the same time.

With that in mind, the Grizzlies returned to the court.

Thunder. Allen continues to take the initiative to defend Link, ready to lead Link into a defensive trap. James, on the other hand, was waiting for an opportunity to prepare for the defense, and everything was the same as before.

But the Grizzlies had just sent the baseline ball out, and Ray. Aaron was a little nervous. The ball did not pass through Conley's hands, but was directly controlled by Link across the half, which means that the initiative is all in Link's hands!

Link didn't break through, but called Gasol for cover. Bypass Gasol and shake off the thunder. After Allen, Link shot directly from outside the three-point line!

Although Bosh actively interfered, he was still half a beat slower. Link's three-pointer went into the net crisply and scored with an understatement.

That's going to keep going with Ray. Allen defends the result of Link.

Link looked at James after scoring the goal, and the meaning was very clear, "Stop playing this boring game, stand up and solve all this!" ”

In the following round, the Heat failed to fight back. Link scored, and the Heat naturally didn't have a chance to grab a rebound and push a fast break.

The Heat were dragged into the position for the first time in this game, and after James drove Linkla away, Wade broke through again with the ball!

But the Grizzlies still have Mark on the court. Gasol is a rim protector, so even if Link is pulled away, it will still not be easy for Wade to score.

Seeing that Gasol rushed back to the basket in time this time, Wade did not take it easy, but passed the ball to Bosh who was in position in the middle distance!

As soon as Bosh received the basketball, before he could make a shot, Link suddenly rushed in obliquely and pulled it out!

In the next second, the basketball in Bosh's hand was swept away by Link! Again, if you're quick enough, you can take care of two attacking players at the same time!

Link completed the steal, and after the substitution, the Grizzlies' state really improved a lot. However, it is still not easy for Link to score, and both LeBron and Bosh are now following him! ”

James won't just watch Link dunk and score, and the advantage he has so hard established can't be destroyed so easily!

Link insisted on breaking through under James' physical contact, but when he was close to the layup, he used an unobtrusive pass to stealthily send the ball to the bottom left corner!

Conley appeared there, and at this time, Chalmers was still two steps away from Conley!

"Damn!" James admired Link's passing vision, and he was able to accurately deliver the ball to his teammates under the bag of two people.

Conley is a more traditional point guard, not a scorer like Westbrook and Irving, who can hit twenty or thirty points at every turn.

As a result, Conley's offensive prowess has always been underrated. In fact, Conley's offensive skills are well-rounded.

So far this season, Conley has shot 36.8 percent from three-point range. It's not very good, but it's definitely not bad.

Before Chalmers could seal it, Conley made the shot. Now, with the Grizzlies in Link's possession, Conley is completely freed. Then if he wants to score, it is a matter of doing more with less.

"Brush!"

The Grizzlies hit their second straight three-pointer, and less than a minute after the timeout came back, the Grizzlies narrowed the deficit to just one point!

"Nice assists, Link's fast break is very fluid. Because he knows better than anyone where to send the ball and when. 6 to 7, Miami Heat must be serious! ”

James and Wade expected Link to start trash-talking after scoring back-to-back goals, but Link was uncharacteristically quiet today.

Link knows it's not the time yet!

With a three-pointer and an assist for a teammate to hit a three-pointer, Snyder's plan was basically successful.

Having Link play in the No. 1 position maximizes Link's threat with the ball and gives others easier chances. This kind of attack is enough to compete with the big three who are in full shape!

The game was brought back on track by Link, and for the rest of the first quarter, the Grizzlies and Heat played a head-to-head battle that made fans addicted.

On the Heat side, relying on the excellent state of the Big Three, they frequently attacked. On the Grizzlies' side, Link has found a very delicate balance between his own goals and assisting his teammates to score.

He handled the Grizzlies' offense clearly, and at the same time, his scoring did not stall.

After the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 30-28, and the Grizzlies temporarily led by 2 points.

Both teams scored high points, but neither team was able to shake the other off. Today, it is destined to be a tug-of-war.

In the second and third quarters, the two teams continued to go toe-to-toe. Wade and Bosh helped James share a lot of offensive pressure, while Link's stats are rising because of his possession of the ball!

When the game reached the fourth quarter, Link assisted Butler under the basket for a layup, allowing the Grizzlies to regain a one-point lead over the Heat, and Link also scored his 10th assist of the game!

After this goal, Link's data for today was immediately played on the big screen on the scene.

With 28 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, Link is only 1 rebound away from a triple-double! If Link can do it, then he will become only the fifth player in NBA history to record a triple-double in the Christmas game! ”

Mike. Brin has already prepared today, so all kinds of historical materials are very well prepared.

It's not easy for a player to be present in the Christmas game. After all, the Christmas game is for the team with the most money-absorbing ability.

How does the ability to absorb gold come about? Either you have to be in a big city, or your team has to be very good.

As a result, many players have never played a Christmas game in their careers. It's hard enough to make it to the Christmas game, let alone get a triple-double in a battle like this.

Previously, there were only four people in NBA history who could score a triple-double in the Christmas game. Among these four people, there is only one active player, James.

Link, on the other hand, is expected to be the second today.

However, for Link, he is more concerned about the current situation than a triple-double.

The Heat played really well today, with James, Wade, Bosh including Ray. Aaron, none of them fell off the chain.

So much so that now that the game is about to end with 1 minute and 24 seconds left, the Grizzlies only rely on Link's assist to Butler's goal just now, leading by 1 point.

1 minute and 24 seconds, that's a fatal time. Any mistake at this time could ruin the game.

Having a triple-double and losing the ball doesn't make sense to Link. Therefore, Link doesn't care about any triple-doubles at all right now.

He just wants to win!

After Butler's goal, Link didn't celebrate, but beckoned everyone to get out of the way. Pose yourself and get ready for James' onslaught.

James is now also the Heat's playmaker, and he personally controls the ball through the half.

This time, James and "Birdman" Anderson played a pick-and-roll. Anderson is now playing in place of Bosh, who has just gone down to rest for a while, and Spoelstra is hoping that "The Dragon" will be able to face the game in the best possible physical condition in the final moments.

Bosh is now ready at the technical desk. If there is a dead ball in this round, he will play immediately.

Anderson quietly took a small step sideways while covering, allowing Link to not get around in the first place.

This is an illegal cover, which is equivalent to a mobile cover. But if the referee doesn't see it, it's legitimate!

James took the opportunity to burst inside and then made a pull-up jump shot from mid-range!

As everyone knows, Link rushed in obliquely, and he was stunned and sealed in James's face!

"Damn, when did you come up!?" James' shooting rhythm was completely disrupted by Link, and in the end, the shot missed the shot!

Link was so aggressive that he bit James like a mad dog. Delayed? Then speed it up!

"I didn't go in! Now there is not much time left for the Heat! If the Grizzlies score again in this round, they will have a three- or four-point lead in less than a minute! ”

The whole Heat team knows this, and this round will be the key to this game!

As a result, all of the Heat players have been very aggressive in their defense. "Birdman" Anderson is no exception, he retreats to the basket as fast as he can, swearing to protect the basket to the death!

Sure enough, the Grizzlies' counterattack didn't give the Heat a respite. As soon as Link received Gasol's pass, he immediately gave the ball to Jimmy. Butler.

Butler went straight to the basket before the Heat's defensive formation was formed, and "Birdman" Anderson was ready, how could you make it too late for this crucial round!

Butler jumped up against Anderson, thinking that even if he couldn't score, he could get a foul.

However, "Birdman" mooed his strength, and he leaped to his feet, spreading his arms. It's as if you have spread your wings full of feathers, and you don't lose wind at all in height!

In the end, Anderson didn't give Butler a chance to stand at the free throw line, but rewarded Butler with a volleyball cap!

"It's blocked, volleyball cap! Chris. Anderson, he saved the Miami Heat from the edge of a cliff! "Mike. Brin watched his heart beat faster, this attack and defense was really exciting!

Spoelstra was also shocked into a cold sweat, if the defense just failed just now, the Heat would be very passive.

Fortunately, Anderson is there now, and if it was Bosh, he would have been fouled. I have to say that Anderson blocked that time, and he was indeed stronger than Bosh.

Just when everyone thought that the Heat had saved the day, the basketball that was fanned by the "Birdman" and flew outside the three-point line was first taken by Link, who came from behind!

The Heat were ready to play a fast break, but Link got the ball a second ahead of Wade.

At this time, the Heat's defensive formation had all dispersed, and it was too late to reorganize the defense. So, after Link got the basketball, he took two big strides all the way to the restricted area, and he wanted to continue to challenge Anderson!

"Link still chose to break through, hasn't Anderson's volleyball hat just now brought a deterrent to Link?" Mike. Brin swallowed, Anderson and Link, this is a conflict like Mars hitting Earth!

Link wasn't intimidated by Anderson's volleyball cap just now, he only had goals in mind.

"Come on, come on!" Anderson didn't mind making two blocks in a row, and he thought Link was still the same Link from last season's Finals.

But in reality, it has long been not.

Link holds the ball in both hands and jumps very close to the basket. But Anderson felt that it was only for a split second, and Link was in the air.

What kind of terrifying bullet velocity is this!?

Anderson had just left his feet off the ground, and Link had already reached the highest point. As a result, Anderson, who was below Link, was powerless to stop the dunk. Link raised the basketball with both hands, and smashed the ball violently through Anderson, who had just finished the volleyball cap!

"Boom!"

The basketball hoop slammed down, and Anderson slammed off the line!

All the charm of the aesthetics of violence is condensed in this slap!

"The powerful one-man dunk, Link is Jimmy. Butler has completed his revenge! Anderson must have thought he would be able to complete the block twice in a row, but he was greeted by a miserable dunk! 3 points, Link in the last 59 seconds of the game, for the Grizzlies to take a crucial 3-point lead, the Heat is now extremely passive! ”

Mike. Brin and the crowd were crazy, what could be more refreshing than a player who had just completed the block in the last second!?

When Link landed, he walked up to Anderson, who was lying on the ground, and yelled.

"Don't bully my teammates, or I'll bully back."

With that, Link turned away coldly, feeling desperate.

Anderson was obviously suppressed, the terrifying power just now, the terrible bullet speed...... "Birdman" was knocked to the ground until now, and he still felt palpitations!

Anderson's lips were white, and he didn't get up for a long time. In the end, it was James and Ray. Aaron went to pull it, and Anderson came to his senses.

Wade crossed his waist and shook his head helplessly. There's really no way around it, Anderson has done it well enough, he's done a nice block. But who knew that there was an even more terrible person waiting for him behind Butler, and that person was stunned and was not deterred, and still chose to attack the frame.

With 59 seconds trailing by three points, Wade knew it was a tough game.

This Christmas Eve is almost unhappy, but it's all about the last 59 seconds.
