The first quarter ended in the sixth minute, and the Atlanta Hawks were still 6 points behind the Grizzlies.

Since the Grizzlies were beaten 6 to 0 at the beginning, the Hawks have been in a passive situation.

At first glance, the difference in 6 points is nothing great, and it can be done with just two three-pointers.

But when you really want to chase the grizzly, you know how difficult it is.

For Budenhozer and the Hawks, this is perhaps the toughest 6 points they have ever chased.

At this time, the game entered a pause time.

Jogel took the tactical board and glanced at Link meaningfully.

Link immediately became excited, and a brand new challenge finally arrived!

"Hasan, you play well, you can rest for a few minutes next time. Link, after the timeout, you will reach the fifth position. You only need to hold on for about three minutes, and I will change you to rest."

Jogel finally began to implement his plan. At this time, it was not just Link, but everyone on the Grizzlies were inexplicably excited.

The Grizzlies' plan is like this: use Link to play the No. 5 position for a few minutes. Wait for Whiteside to rest for a few minutes before let Whiteside replace Link to continue playing, and then Link starts to take a thorough break.

In this way, the Grizzlies will not be "offset" in the fifth position.

Whether it is Link or Whiteside, in short, the Grizzlies will always have people on the fifth position. And it can also ensure that the two have a rest time.

But the Grizzlies' plan is not just as simple as having Link play the No. 5 position.

When Link also plays as the fifth position, the Grizzlies' entire playing style will change!

Therefore, it's not just Link, but all the Grizzlies players are looking forward to the next game.

If they fail to fight, they will become the laughing stock of the whole world.

But if the fight is done, everyone believes that it will cause a huge sensation!

The pause time was over soon, and Jogel looked at everything and waved his hand.

Quinn Snyder was a little nervous because everything the Grizzlies were doing now was too anti-traditional.

But Jogel doesn't agree. As long as he can win, who stipulates that he must follow the rules?

"The game started again, and the Hawks were still 6 points behind the Grizzlies. With this small gap, the Hawks couldn't get over it, as if they were caught in a curse. Wait... The Grizzlies replaced Hassan Whiteside with Andre Iguodala! Their center came to an end, this is the opportunity for the Atlanta Hawks!"

When Mike Brynn found out that the Grizzlies were substituted, he couldn't help but feel tight.

Now the Grizzlies are Whiteside, just a pure inside player, so even if Joggel has the ability to dominate the Grizzlies, he will not be able to change their inside advantage.

Budenhoze finally felt energetic. After being suppressed for so long, it was finally time to fight back!

Now, the Grizzlies' on-court roster has become Conley, Butler, Link, Iguodala and Harris.

Everyone thought Harris would continue to play No. 5 as he did in the last game, and Iguodala topped No. 4.

The Grizzlies' lineup is equivalent to a defender with four forwards, which is simply weird.

"This lineup... is really too small. There is no pure insider among the five people. I have to say that this is a very bold attempt."

Mike Bryn also curled his lips, and it seemed that the next time the eagle would be proud.

"Attack the inside, attack the inside!" Budenhoze yelled at the players on the sidelines, and he regained the confidence he had at the beginning of the game.

Horford was also full of confidence. He was suppressed by Whiteside in the past six minutes.

Now, I can finally show my skills at a low level!

A mere Tobias Harris is not to be afraid of.

The Hawks started offense, Conley touched Teague, and Butler was still defending Korver.

These two points have not changed compared to the moment, but the next match surprised Budenhoze and everyone in the audience.

Iguodala ran to Carol, and Tobias Harris went to defend Millsap, who was not as tall as his.

Iguodala and Harris are not as expected, one with four and the other playing five.

When Horford sank into the inside, he found that it was Link who was defending him!

Everyone's eyes widened, including Mike Bryn and Hubby Brown, who have always been able to accurately analyze the situation on the field at the first time.

The two experienced commentators were stunned for a few seconds before saying in surprise, "The Grizzlies actually asked Link to play the No. 5 position!?"

The center of 2.03 meters, the power forward of 2.06 meters... This is undoubtedly a very small lineup!

Link immediately pressed against Horford's back and prevented him from pressing back easily.

Although Horford was also a little surprised, now was not the time to be surprised. He tried hard to get the position, but found that it was not easy to wrestle with Link.

It is not much easier to push in than to face Whiteside.

Before Horford was firmly in place, Teague sent the ball to Horford.

Horford caught the ball from the middle distance and confronted Link.

No. 5 vs. No. 3, everyone knows that this is a big misalignment.

But for some reason, everyone seems to think that Horford does not have much advantage...

Link held Horford hard and had to admit that he suddenly ran to the inside to fight, and the experience was really not very good.

If you do this for a few more rounds, Link probably won't have much strength on the offensive end.

In fact, this is also the reason why there are not many short inside players. It is not that they can't stand it, but that the consumption is too large.

Unless you have pure insider styles like "Big Ben" Ben Wallace, you will generally not let small people fight in hand-to-hand combat.

Think about it, putting James in the fifth position, but his offense was weak due to his exhaustion. This was completely unworthy of the loss.

Therefore, even when the Heat's inside reserves are weakest, Spoelstra will not put James in the fifth position to fight hand-to-hand.

But today Link doesn't have to worry about this, because he won't be too long to play the No. 5 position. He only needs to withstand a few rounds and he will complete the task.

Horford continued to squeeze Link with his back, but the distance to advance was almost negligible.

Directly turn over and jump shot? If Yao Ming is playing against Link now, then he can do this.

Although Link was behind him, with Yao Ming's height, Link could not interfere at all.

But Horford is not Yao Ming, he is a short center, an official height of 2.08 meters and actual height of about 2.06 meters.

If he directly turns over and jumps, what he waits for is not only interference, but may even be blocked directly!

Horford was embarrassed. In this group of misalignments, he seemed to be unable to find any advantage!

In the end, Horford chose to turn his back and break through, hoping to force Link to break through the basket with a larger tonnage.

But as soon as Horford dribbled, he found that the basketball was out of hand!

Horford's dribble is good in the fifth position, but in Link's eyes... forget it.

Link easily completed the steal, and the Hawks did not get the expected inside advantage!

Horford was completely defeated against Link, and he was even helpless.

Budenhoze's expression was very wonderful. The previous second, he was obviously full of confidence. But the next second, he immediately frowned again and was shocked.

Horford didn't impress Link? What a joke!?

Link didn't joke with Budenhozer, but passed the ball out the moment he scored a steal.

The Grizzlies' lineup is very small, which means they are extremely mobile. The moment Link completes the steal, the Grizzlies and the four of them are running wildly towards the frontcourt.

As Link plays the fifth position, the Grizzlies change their entire offensive style!

Iguodala received a pass from Link and broke through with the ball.

The Hawks' defense instantly contracted, but Iguodala distributed the ball to Tobias Harris, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

"Harris is already in place, the Grizzlies' offense is quickly taken offensively, their speed is incredible!"

Hubby Brown felt that his commentary speed could not keep up with the Grizzlies' counterattack. As soon as he finished speaking, Harris took the move and hit the open shot.

The score difference has become 9 points, and the time for the Eagles has not yet arrived!

Link applauded vigorously and encouraged all his teammates. The counterattack speed was really exciting.

For some reason, Link suddenly felt like he was playing for the Warriors...

Budenhozer swallowed.
Chapter completed!
