1283: The Heat's strongest combat power is not worth it anymore(1/2)
13-3, the Grizzlies' offensive surprised people.
Everyone originally thought this would be a tug-of-war, but judging from the current situation, the Grizzlies have no intention of letting the Heat drag the game to the end.
Spoelstra must save the situation now. Although this is the first quarter, as the Grizzlies' old opponent, Spoelstra is very clear that once the Grizzlies are allowed to open the score, no matter how long the game will end, they will be very passive.
It is easy for the Grizzlies to catch up with the score behind, but it is very difficult for the Grizzlies to catch up with the Grizzlies as the backward side.
If the Heat still want to win this game, they must fill in the gap as soon as possible.
At present, pure team offense has no effect on the Grizzlies' defense.
Therefore, Spolstra must use the mode of the superstars driving the offensive during the Big Three period.
"Jimmy, next I need you to be more active on the offensive end. We have to get the score close before the end of the first quarter. Only in this way can we have the capital to wrestle the arm of the Grizzlies."
Spolstra looked at Butler, and Butler nodded silently.
He had long guessed that the situation would turn out like this.
Although Link is very strong, Butler can only try harder now.
In addition to being tough enough, Butler also has another characteristic that he is never afraid of strong enemies.
Back then, he was still a young man in the Grizzlies, causing huge trouble for LeBron James, who was intimidating in the finals.
If he was afraid, he wouldn't be able to limit James at that time.
The word fear has never been in Butler's dictionary, even when facing Link.
The electronic beeps sounded and the game started again.
The Grizzlies returned to the court with a 10-point advantage and established a double-digit lead in the first quarter, which is undoubtedly very favorable.
Link is not interested in experiencing the stimulating moments to win today for ten consecutive victories.
Victory must be held in your hands early to be at ease.
When the Heat came back, Kendrick Nunn and Jimmy Butler's eyes changed.
Nunn became cautious from the moment of fighting spirit, while Butler became angry from the moment of calmness, as he had just now.
Link also became cautious. Although he was constantly stimulating the Heat players in his verbal words, Link knew very well that if he really took it lightly, he would pay the price.
As for the same sentence, the Miami Heat is definitely not a weak team.
To deal with Butler, you must attack with all your strength, without any mercy.
This time, Nunn really handed the ball to Butler early on.
Although he was a thorn in college, he was still very honest at NBA Nunn.
He will never be ruthless when he should attack by himself, and he will obey the arrangements when he should not attack by himself.
As soon as Butler got the ball, Adebayo and Leonard both brought the cover, and Link would encounter obstacles no matter which side he went.
Butler shot Leonard's side and finally chose to break through Adebayo's side.
Adebayo was not an honest man either. He moved a little while blocking Link.
Perhaps such small moves can only win a few seconds for Butler, but in NBA, it is possible that the number of seconds that determines whether a ball can be shot is exactly this few seconds.
Butler broke through and Jokic went to make up for defense.
But Butler suddenly stopped and threw Jokic away from the heavyweight two or three steps away.
The teacher was trained by outside players on a daily basis, and the Grizzlies fans were numb to see it.
Shaking away Jokic, Butler made a quick stop and jump shot.
Although Butler's three-pointers were not very good, he was quite sure of mid-range shots.
What's more, it's still without anyone being disturbed.
But is there really no one to interfere?
Just as Butler was just jumping and preparing to take action, the basketball was held down by a huge force, and Butler couldn't shoot it at all!
Jokic just made up for defense, although he was "military training" by Butler, he bought Link valuable time to chase and defend.
Without Jokic's backup defense, Butler would have made a direct breakthrough and layup, and Link could not catch up at all. But after being forced by Jokic to stop and jump shot, the situation would be completely different.
So, don’t look at the teacher who looks lazy and stupid, even when he is shining, he is contributing to the team...
The time Adebayo fought for Butler was found by Jokic again.
Link exerted force on his arm and pressed it directly on the basketball.
Butler was pressed by Link, and he lost his center of gravity in the air and fell to the ground with a basketball in his arms!
Link directly misled Butler!
When someone else shoots, he directly presses him to the ground, and his visual impact is no less than a volleyball cap.
They are all humiliating the other party, and there is no difference between flying and pressing down.
At this time, the referee blew a whistle and awarded a ball, which was considered to save Butler a little face.
Although the ownership of the ball has not been determined, at least Link's defense has been successful this time.
Link looked at Butler on the ground and did not squirt about trash. Because he knew that talking nonsense with Butler was useless.
Butler is not Nunn, he is not that fragile inside, and he will lose his mentality by just squirting a few words.
If you want to defeat Butler, you can only rely on your hard power to fight. This is just the beginning, and Link will continue to take tough measures next.
Butler climbed up from the ground in a mess, and the two stood on the free throw line, ready to compete for the ball.
However, Butler's wingspan is the same as Griffin. "Silly Fen" is 2 meters tall and 2 meters tall and 11 meters tall. Butler is 2 meters tall and 2 meters tall and 2 meters tall...
With his height and wingspan as good as Link, the result of this scramble may not be too friendly to the Heat.
Speaking of arm span, the Heat have a "Tyrannosaurus Rex" that is more exaggerated than Butler. Kelly Olynick is 2.13 meters tall and 2.08 meters tall, which is simply touching.
Sure enough, although Butler grabbed Link's jersey at the moment of jumping, Link still pushed the basketball into his teammates.
The Heat's offense was completely destroyed after the ball was successfully conquered!
Spolstra felt a chill on his back. Today, Link not only wanted to torture Nunn, but it seemed that he was not going to leave a way out for Butler!
Although Butler was just defended in a very embarrassing manner, this "bulldog" that never gave up was not discouraged.
He quickly cheered up and asked everyone to retreat without letting the Grizzlies fight back.
Butler continued to fight with Link. He interfered with Link's dribble several times, but almost grabbed the basketball.
Butler's defense is indeed the top-level existence in the league. Even Link doesn't dare to dribble and break through now.
So, Link started to hold the ball with his back, and he wanted to hit Butler with his back!
Butler raised his chest and slammed it hard, but Link was able to put that guy Antetokounmpo into the inside.
Although he worked very hard, under Link's fierce squeeze, Butler retreated to the middle distance.
Seeing this, Link suddenly turned around and was about to shoot, but Butler hurriedly took a step forward and prepared to interfere.
Little did they know that Link turned around in the opposite direction with Butler as the axis!
Now Butler was completely shaken away.
Link's fake moves were very realistic. Butler just thought Link was going to vote.
In fact, Link is indeed planning to shoot. If Butler doesn't block it, he will shoot. If Butler blocks it, he will turn to the other side.
Anyway, this is a dead end for Butler!
Therefore, superstars cannot be truly restricted. They can deal with any defense.
In the end, Butler could only watch Link easily complete the shot and widen the gap again.
Since the start of the game, Link's shooting percentage is still 100%.
Jimmy Butler was helpless with Link!
The score difference became 12 points, but the first quarter was only halfway through.
But now people don't think that the Heat still have time to equalize the score, but that the Grizzlies can completely widen the gap in the first quarter.
Butler clenched his fists, and he didn't defend a single ball today.
Others will degenerate after 30s, but Link is better, he is even stronger than he used to be.
Butler led the team to fight back again. This time, his breakthrough was blocked by Link, but he saw Nunn running out of the open space.
So Butler split the ball, hoping that Nunn could use his firepower to break the scoring drought for the Heat.
This is actually a very typical Heat-style offense. When Butler attacks the main attack, the others can immediately transform into supporting roles.
Nunn ran out of the position, but he was a little confident when he took action.
In the end, this somewhat delayed shot failed to score.
The key to shooting is decisiveness, hesitation but fails to make a shot.
After continuing the three-nothing, Nunn missed again.
To be continued...
