Swap Randolph with Butler, which means Wade and James can hit the basket more easily.

So next, it is not easy to completely curb the Heat by defending. The Grizzlies must play extremely high efficiency on the offensive end in order to recover the decline.

Quinn Snyder then suggested that Joegel let Link control the ball, so that LeBron would not be able to stay in the penalty area because he had to come out to defend Link, which greatly weakened the Heat's ability to protect the frame.

To put it bluntly, both sides' framing protection abilities have been weakened, so this game must be played in an offensive manner. If you only compete in defense, you will not be able to defeat the Heat, who are in great shape in the Big Three.

You can defend against one or two, but it is difficult to defend against three superstar players at the same time.

With this idea, the Grizzlies returned to the court.

Ray Allen continued to take the initiative to defend Link, preparing to introduce Link into the defensive trap. James was waiting for an opportunity to prepare for defense, everything was the same as before.

But as soon as the Grizzlies sent the baseline ball, Ray Allen was a little nervous. The ball did not pass through Conley's hand, but was directly controlled by Link through the half, which meant that the initiative was all in Link's hands!

Link did not break through, but called Gasol to cover. After bypassing Gasol, he threw away Ray. Allen, Link took a direct move outside the three-point line!

Although Bosh actively interfered with it, he was still half a beat slower. Link's three-pointer made a clear net and scored a goal lightly.

This is the result of continuing to defend Link with Ray Allen.

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

In the next round, the Heat failed to fight back again. Link scored a goal, so the Heat naturally had no chance to grab rebounds and push fast breaks.

The Heat were dragged into the position for the first time in this game. After James pulled Link away, Wade broke through with the ball!

But there is also Marc Gasol, a franchise protector on the Grizzlies, so even if Link is pulled away, it is still not easy for Wade to score a goal.

Seeing Gasol rushing back to the basket in time this time, Wade did not show off, but passed the ball to Bosh who was in the middle distance!

Bosh just received the basketball, and before he could take action, Link suddenly rushed in from the thorn and took a look!

The next second, the basketball in Bosh's hand was swept away by Link! The same thing, as long as you are quick enough, you can take into account two offensive players at the same time!

"Link completed the steal. After the substitution, the Grizzlies' condition has indeed improved a lot. However, it is still not easy for Link to score. LeBron and Bosh are following him now!"

James won't watch Link score a dunk. The advantage he has finally established cannot be destroyed so easily!

Link insisted on breaking through under James' physical contact, but when he was about to make a layup, he secretly sent the ball to the bottom corner on the left with a wonderful pass!

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

"Damn it!" James admired Link's passing vision, and was able to accurately deliver the ball to his teammates under the double-team of the two.

Conley is a traditional point guard, not a scorer like Westbrook and Irving who can score 20 to 30 points at any time.

Therefore, Conley's offensive ability has always been underestimated. In fact, Conley's offensive skills are comprehensive.

Conley's three-point shooting percentage has been 36.8% this season. It's not very good, but it's definitely not bad.

Before Chalmos blocked, Conley completed the attack. Now, the Grizzlies are controlled by Link, and Conley is completely freed. Then he wants to score, so he will get twice the result with half the effort.

"brush!"

The Grizzlies made the second consecutive three-pointer. Less than a minute after the timeout came back, the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to only 1 point left!

"With a beautiful assist, Link led the fast break very smoothly. Because he knows better than anyone, when to send the ball to where. 6 to 7, the Miami Heat must be serious!"

James and Wade thought that Link would start squirting trash after consecutive goals, but Link was abnormally quiet today.

Link knew that it was not the time yet!

Snyder's plan was basically successful with three-pointers at a time.

Letting Link play the No. 1 position can not only maximize Link's threat to hold the ball, but also allow others to have easier opportunities. Such an offense is enough to compete with the three giants who are in full swing!

The game was brought back to the right track by Link. In the remaining games in the first quarter, the Grizzlies and the Heat played a battle against each other that made the fans exclaim.

On the Heat, relying on the excellent state of the Big Three, the attacks frequently succeeded. On the Grizzlies, Link found a very delicate balance between scoring his own goals and assisting his teammates to score goals.

He handled the Grizzlies' offense clearly, and at the same time, his score would not stagnate.

After the first quarter, the two sides fought 30 to 28, and the Grizzlies temporarily led by 2 points.

Both teams scored very high, but they could not get rid of the opponent. Today, there was a destined to be a tug-of-war.

In the second and third quarters, the two teams continued to face each other. Wade and Bosh helped James share a lot of offensive pressure, while Link's data continues to rise because of his possession of the ball!

When the game went into the fourth quarter, Link assisted butler, who cut into the basket, made a layup, allowing the Grizzlies to lead the Heat by 1 point again, Link also won his 10th assist in the game!

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

"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 the fifth player in NBA history to get triple-double data in the Christmas game!"

Mike Bryn was prepared early this year, so all kinds of historical materials were prepared very well.

It is not easy for a player to appear in the Christmas battle. After all, the Christmas battle is prepared for the most money-making teams.

How do you get the ability to attract money? Either you have to be in a big city or your team has to be very powerful.

Therefore, many players have never played Christmas battles in their careers. It is already difficult to play Christmas battles, let alone get triple-double data in such a focus battle.

Previously, in NBA history, only four people were able to score triple-double data in the Christmas game. Among these four people, only James is the active player.

And Link is expected to be the second one today.

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

The Heat played really well today, with none of them losing their chains.

So much so that the game will end in 1 minute and 24 seconds, the Grizzlies are only leading by 1 point with Link assisting Butler's goal just now.

1 minute and 24 seconds, this is a deadly time. Any mistake in this time may ruin the game.

It makes no sense to Link if he got a triple-double but lost the ball. Therefore, Link doesn't care about any triple-double or triple-double at all now.

He just wants to win!

After Butler scored, Link did not celebrate, but instead asked everyone to retreat quickly. He also set his sights on his own and prepared to face James's attack.

James is now also acting as the Heat's organizational forward, and he personally controls the ball and goes through the half.

This time, James and "Birdman" Anderson played pick-and-roll. Anderson now appeared in place of Bosh. Bosh had just gone down to rest for a while. Spoelstra hoped that the "Dragon King" could face the game with the best physical condition at the last moment.

Bosh is now preparing for the technical station. If the ball dies this round, he will play immediately.

Anderson quietly took a small step while covering, so Link failed to get around the first time.

This is an illegal cover, equivalent to moving cover. But if the referee does not see it, it is legal!

James took the opportunity to break into the inside and then made a quick stop and jump shot from mid-range!

Little did he know that Link rushed in the thorn and blocked James' face!

"Damn, when did it come up!?" James' shooting rhythm was completely disrupted by Link. In the end, the shot failed to hit!

Link was too active. He bit James like a mad dog. Was delayed? Then speed up!

"I didn't score! There is not much time left for the Heat now! If the Grizzlies score another goal in this round, they will have to lead by 3 or 4 points in less than a minute!"

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

Therefore, all Heat players retreated very actively. The big guy "Birdman" Anderson is no exception. He retreated back to the basket as quickly as possible and tried to protect the basket!

Sure enough, the Grizzlies' counterattack did not give the Heat a chance to breathe. After receiving Gasol's pass, Link immediately gave the ball to Jimmy Butler.

Butler killed the basket before the Heat's defensive formation was formed. "Birdman" Anderson was ready. How could this critical round make you too late!

Butler jumped towards Anderson, thinking that even if he couldn't score, he could still get a foul!

However, the "Birdman" mooed vigorously. He jumped up suddenly and spread his arms as if he had spread his feathered wings, and he was not at all inferior to the height!

In the end, Anderson did not give Butler a chance to stand on the free throw line, but instead gave Butler a volleyball hat head-on!

"It's blocked, volleyball cap! Chris Anderson, he saved the Miami Heat on the edge of the cliff!" Mike Bryn's heartbeat was accelerating. This offense and defense were really exciting!

Spoelstra was also shocked and sweated. If the defense failed just now, the Heat would be very passive.

Fortunately, Anderson is present now, so if Bosh is, he would have been fouled. I have to say that Anderson blocked it, it is indeed stronger than Bosh.

Just when everyone thought the Heat had escaped danger, the basketball that was slapped out of the three-point line by the "Birdman" was taken first by Link, who came from behind!

All the Heat were preparing to make a quick break, but Link got the ball in one second.

At this time, the Heat's defensive formations had all dispersed and there was no time to reorganize the defense. So, after getting the basketball, Link took two steps and killed the penalty area without any obstacles. He wanted to continue challenging Anderson!

"Link still chose to break through. Did Anderson's volleyball hat just now have not deterred Link?" Mike Bryn swallowed. Anderson and Link, this was a conflict like Mars colliding with the earth!

Link was not scared by Anderson's volleyball hat just now, he had only scored a goal in his heart.

"Come on, come on!" Anderson didn't mind completing two blocks in a row. He thought Link was still the same Link in last season's finals.

But in fact, it's not the case.

Link held the ball in both hands and jumped very close to the basket. But Anderson felt that Link rushed into the air in just a moment.

What kind of terrifying bullet speed is this!?

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

"boom!"

The basketball stand suddenly sank down, and Anderson fell heavily out of the bottom line!
