Wade thought that the Grizzlies' interior advantage had completely disappeared, but he didn't expect to be targeted by Link's kid on the first offense of the opening game.

Link really played the role of a number four and he was able to protect the box in a timely manner. Of course, this goal undoubtedly also escalated the battle between Link and Wade.

Wade originally wanted to give Link a dismount, but now it's okay, and he was actually the first to be cleaned up by Link.

Although the ball still belongs to the Heat, they still have a chance to continue to attack. But there is no doubt that this goal has changed the momentum of both sides, and as soon as it comes up, Link has some intention of turning against the guest.

"Don't rush, take your time and look for opportunities! Calm down, guys, hold on! "Spoelstra is more anxious than Wade, and he doesn't want to be suppressed while the Grizzlies lose their interior advantage.

Since it is a small lineup, it must have an advantage in the whole field!

Wade then held his breath and began to prepare for the next attack. It's good that Wade doesn't play directly with Link, otherwise Link would definitely be chattering about Wade now.

Bosh sent the ball out of the sideline, and this time, James held the ball himself, ready to stabilize the round.

Link is waiting for him, and now, there are no two inside lines behind him to help him wipe his ass, everything can only be on his own!

Gasol? There is no doubt that Gasol will definitely be pulled into the middle distance by Bosh and will not be able to help himself. Link knows very well that he is now the second interior player!

James duffled a shot after holding the ball, then broke through with Bosh cover.

The quality of Bosh's cover this time was mediocre, and Link flashed nimbly past "Dragon King".

Just as James was about to go to the basket, Link gruffly pasted it. Link's confrontation is very fierce, and no one will be gentle with anyone in front of the champion.

James didn't expect Link to catch up so quickly, this guy's defense is perfect!

It's no wonder that he was selected as the best defender with himself!

James gritted his teeth and decided to go for it!

However, under this fierce confrontation, even James was a little unbearable.

In the air, his body staggered and he could barely throw the ball to the basket. What's even more infuriating is that Link's defense, although fierce, is quite clean. Arms raised high, without any downward movement. James couldn't make a foul if he wanted to.

In this way, James made an extremely reluctant layup and knocked out of the frame, and the Heat's offense failed again!

"Didn't score again, Link blocked the impact of James and Wade in a row in one round, which is a great achievement! As the core of the Grizzlies, he set an example for the whole team! ”

Mike. Brin began to boast, and the fans in the American Airlines Center arena were extremely disappointed.

Finally, the atmosphere was brought up, but Janway didn't score, which was really disappointing.

Link didn't hesitate after blocking James, and jumped quickly to get the rebound! Randolph was not there, and Link was also tasked with rebounding.

Playing the No. 4 position is not as simple as changing one person to play singles like Anthony. Whatever position you play, you should show what position you should perform.

Link grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Conley, not in a hurry to dribble forward. Next, it's time to switch to the Grizzlies' small lineup to show their firepower.

Surprisingly, the Grizzlies' offense wasn't playing at a fast pace. Conley was patient with the ball, and the other three outside runs, while aggressive, didn't chase for speed. In the end, the Grizzlies still played a positional offense.

But unlike usual, after a series of runs, the Grizzlies had four men standing outside the three-point line, leaving only Gasol on the edge of the box!

It would have been expected that the Grizzlies would also use their speed to attack the basket or use their shooting ability to throw three-pointers, just like the Heat.

But the Grizzlies didn't try that in the first round, they instead hit the ball inside!

Who said that playing a small lineup and the Grizzlies' interior advantage would disappear?

After the lineup was pulled apart, Conley passed the ball into the low post, and Gasol singled Bosh with his back!

At this moment, all the Heat players were dumbfounded.

Although Bosh is said to be the interior defensive center of the Heat, his defensive ability is not much stronger this year. The help defense is okay, but in the face of a low-post single with a strong inside, Bosh is a little overwhelmed.

Gasol's first two games of the series were not high-scoring games, mainly because the interior was too crowded for him to perform.

But now, with him and Bosh left on the three-point line, Gasol can attack as much as he wants!

After receiving the ball, he took two steps inside, and Gasol walked to the basket. Bosh can't resist the impact of a pure center forward, not to mention, he is still a star center selected for the double second team.

After reaching the basket, Gasol turned and hooked his hands.

The hook hand is already difficult to block, plus Gasol also has a height advantage. This goal, Bosh can't reach!

The basketball hollow entered the net, and the Grizzlies, who were fighting away, took the lead in scoring! And, the way the score is scored is incredibly retro!

"I actually chose to play inside singles, and the Grizzlies' offense is very interesting. It can be seen that they do not want to completely give up their inside advantage. I have to say that even if only one bear is present, the power is quite amazing. ”

Mike. Brin applauded, and the Grizzlies' tactics were very successful. The Heat didn't dare to wrap it up at all, after all, the three points of the four people outside could kill the game.

James and Wade were very depressed, thinking that they could play a fast-paced confrontation happily. As everyone knows, it's so uncomfortable.

At this time, the Heat has no misplaced advantage on the offensive end, but the defensive end continues to maintain an interior disadvantage and is eaten to death by the Grizzlies.

The only thing the Heat can be thankful for is that Gasol isn't a very consistent center on offense. Having never averaged more than 15 points per game in the regular season so far in his career, he is far from being a scorer.

He can't play like that every game, and he can't score in every game. If Gasol is replaced by Yao Ming, the Heat can basically raise the white flag in advance.

If Gasol is replaced by Yao Ming, then the Heat will have to change to two interior lines to attack, and the small lineup will definitely not be able to play. Therefore, the emergence of the small-ball era has a lot to do with the lack of high-quality centers.

Of course, it is precisely because of the emergence of the small ball era that the big men are not developing in the direction of Yao Ming and O'Neal, which leads to the scarcity of low-level killers. These two factors are interdependent.

The Heat continued to attack, and with both sides fighting small lineups, the Heat simply couldn't play out of place.

Wade was very annoyed by Iguodala's entanglement, and James naturally did not have an easy time facing Link.

Iguodala's comeback has been very effective, and he has always been better than Jimmy. Butler is more experienced. Although it was the first time to play in the finals, the 9 years of hard work in the league were not in vain.

In the end, before the end of the 24-second offensive time, the Heat still didn't have a chance. James had to stand up to Link's defensive jumper from mid-range.

But unexpectedly, James' slightly stiff jump shot actually hit the board head-on...... Link was really helpless.

To put it bluntly, this ball is Meng's.

Heat fans cheered as their team finally scored. However, James himself could not laugh. He knew that the kind of good luck just now would not accompany him for the whole time.

"Good luck, LeBron." Link deliberately smiled and said this to James, which made the Heat's No. 6 brow furrow even deeper!

The Grizzlies continued to attack, and this time, Bosh went straight around Gasol in front of him. At the beginning, he had to go around the front defense, which shows how aggrieved the "Dragon King" played.

Another meaning of defending around the front is, "I definitely can't prevent you in the conventional way, so I can only go to extremes." ”

But this time, the Grizzlies didn't continue to feed Gasol the ball on a head-to-head basis. The reason why he played Gasol in the first round was not to make Gasol shoulder the burden of scoring, but to make him a deterrent.

Now, Bosh had to focus his full attention on Gasol. For the Grizzlies, the tactics were a success.

Bosh can't make up the penalty area, so the door is really wide open for the Heat's hinterland.

Conley and Link exchanged hands, and after the hand-to-hand hand, Link paused, and James slowed down.

As everyone knows, in the next second, Link suddenly accelerated again, killing James by surprise!

"Nice change of pace, Link's breakaways are always very smart!" Mike. Brin sighed as he watched, it was really a pleasure to watch Link play.

It's just a simple change of pace, but it's not easy to be flexible enough to do this kind of detail in a fierce game.

Link continued to accelerate, while the Heat interior didn't even get in the way. Bosh was completely pinned down by Gasol, and the others couldn't rush back to the inside line in the first place.

The Heat's defense was like a thin layer of paper, and Link just stabbed it lightly, and the defense line was broken.

Now, the only suspense is whether James can turn the tide like Link just did with Wade.

Link stabbed diagonally to the basket and James chased after him. Despite being the No. 3 player, James is also averaging 0.8 blocks per game. Like teammate Wade and Josh of the Hawks, they are all adventurers.

This goal, James is bound to win!

Link jumps against the basket and is surprisingly high. But when it comes to athleticism, James really won't lose to anyone.

He jumped to his feet, too, and his arms were full of strength! If necessary, he will not hesitate to grab Link's basketball with both hands!

However, instead of dunking from the front, Link completed a 180° turn in the air! Then reach your arm to the other side of the basket and complete the dunk with one hand!

James' jump height was high enough and the timing of the block was very accurate. But under Link's action, James couldn't risk anything in the end!

"Pretty turn around and dunk, God, can't Link be able to make this the scene of a slam dunk contest? This ball is very difficult, and under LeBron's pursuit, he can calmly turn in the air, and his psychological quality is really strong! ”

Link's dunk is very exciting, and James can't guarantee that he will definitely be able to dunk like that in actual combat.

Heat fans were dumbfounded, someone dared to show off a dunk under James's pursuit, and the show was successful!

Link doesn't seem to be down at all against James!

From tactics to individual ability, the Grizzlies don't seem to be worse than the Heat.

When Link landed, he pointed to the championship pennant at the American Airlines Center, and then made a tearing motion with both hands.

This year, your championship pennant is gone!
