1438. The Heat will fight to the end (3rd update)
The Heat used the first half of the second quarter when Randolph was going to rest as the time to open up the difference, but instead of opening up the difference, it was narrowed.
However, they are still ahead, leading, which means that the game has started so far, and their Heat team has played better than the Grizzlies team overall.
With the transfer of veteran Juwan Howard, who played 10 games in the regular season and didn't play a single playoff game in this year's playoffs, the Heat players have calmed down a lot.
After the timeout, Wade came on, Maddy came up for 3 points and 1 board and was replaced, and Ray Allen was replaced by Mike Miller.
The lineup of the Big Three, Chris Anderson, Mike Miller plays.
James, Bosh, and Wade's Big Three are ready to fight to the end tonight.
The next game will wait for the next game to think about it, now is the time to fight!
What did they come together for? For the overall championship!
Compared to the last Big Three, they have accomplished most things, such as the regular season championship, the best defensive player, and two finals in three years...... However, the all-important championship has not yet been won.
……
On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce's outstanding performance in the first half of the quarter made his teammates very emotional!
Nash, who had just made a three-point shot, was replaced, and when he threw the ball, the fans and the Grizzlies team's hearts were pulled together, it was too sassy!
It's dangerous.
This ball, although Nash is old, but the balance and core strength are too strong!
Coach Hollins seriously suspected that Sun Ce had learned so much from Nash, and I heard that Nash was the first to teach Sun Ce to play basketball.
No special changes were made, and Coach Hollins brought on the lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph and Gasol Jr.
Tony Allen was not replaced, but this is no way to do it, playing the Heat team, not only need to defend well, but also have to be guaranteed offensively, as a veteran who has won two championships, Tony Allen was mentally prepared before playing the Heat, so even if he has no playing time, he has been working hard to help his teammates and defensive assistant coaches find a way, tell his teammates about his defensive experience, and tell the coaching staff about his actual defensive experience.
……
After a pause, watching the opponent switch to the most balanced offensive and defensive lineup, the pressure on the Big Three was too great.
Similarly, the Grizzlies are also under great pressure when they see the Heat's Big Three together.
Although the big score led 3-1, when the Heat went all out, the first game was won by Sun Ce's outburst, and the third game was won by Paul George's outburst.
Although they lead 3-1 in terms of results, if they lose this game and return to the Heat's home court, it will be very difficult to play.
The Heat attacked, James chiseled half a quarter to slow down, and Wade came up to control the ball.
Sun Ce continued to stare at James, which could be selectively contracted; Klay Thompson is eyeing Mike Miller, Mike Miller has a hard chance, but at the same time it also limits the Grizzlies' defense, the Grizzlies can only defend 4, just like the 3 defense 3 routine is very simple, 4 defense 4 is more difficult than 5 defense 5; Randolph was pulled out by Bosh, Gasol Jr. guarded the basket, and Chris Anderson had no shooting ability.
Wade is still looking for a block in the face of Paul George's defense, but he didn't find James to block and dismantle like before, Sun Ce's defense is too hard today, Wade will not ask for trouble, but look for a center to block and dismantle like James.
After the pick-and-roll, Wade's mid-range pullup jump shot was ......
In the past two years, Wade's biggest decline is not the basket offense, his basket offense is still sharp, and the biggest decline is the mid-range shot! From the 08-09 season to the 10-11 season, Wade was also a semi-top-tier mid-range shooter with a shooting percentage of 39 to 42 percent and a maximum of 3.9 shots per game.
Wade's pull-up jump shot is too physical, and once the jump doesn't feel right, it will greatly affect his shooting feeling.
At the beginning of the game, it was okay, but when it came to the back, his physical strength declined slightly, and the mid-range shot felt very wrong.
Gasol Jr. protected the rebound and handed the ball to Sun Ce, who pressed the rhythm and pushed forward, just slowly boiled up.
Even if he used Wadeka, Sun Ce was not particularly looking forward to taking out the Heat team at once, the other party was really powerful.
At this stage, what Sun Ce has to do is to make good use of Randolph's threat and Gasol Jr.'s ability to respond, and to minimize the consumption of the two to prepare for the second half.
The more they play to the back, the more advantageous they are because they rotate more players than the Heat!
Then it's very simple, now the space opened up by his teammates is better than before, and Sun Ce is ready to come by himself.
After the half-time before the 8-second press speed, Sun Ce saw that his teammates had settled into position, so he waited for him to start making offensive choices, and then move the corresponding position.
Sun Ce began to accelerate after passing the middle circle!
When James saw Sun Ce's movements, he knew that Sun Ce was going to play singles this ball, which was Sun Ce's signature style of play in his early years, as the strongest courtesan in the league, James would hook up with a wave when every rookie showed his talent, some could succeed, some couldn't, but he has been paying attention to the entire league.
Sure enough, Sun Ce's speed increased to the fastest when he was close to the three-point line!
James, who began to step on small broken steps from the moment Sun Ce began to accelerate, immediately began to speed up his movements!
Sun Ce is moving and advancing, at this time, James can confront but cannot block Sun Ce's footsteps to the inside, that is, he can force Sun Ce to change direction and not stop Sun Ce, otherwise it will block the foul, so James pressed Sun Ce's left hand direction and forced Sun Ce to move to the right baseline of the three-second zone, which can be pinched with Chris Anderson, and can limit the space under Sun Ce's passing basket.
James was not afraid of Sun Ce's emergency stop-and-go jumper, he guarded against Sun Ce's back-dribbling and turn-around jumpers and sideways strides, but Sun Ce's jumper was not good.
However, just when James was clinging to the defense and moving his feet quickly, Sun Ce made a sudden stop!
At this time, James, who was letting Sun Ce dribble behind his back and turn around for a jumper and a sideways step-up jumper, was moving at full speed and couldn't hold his feet!
Sun Ce's peak Wade-style pull-up jump shot hit!
41 draws!
The official timeout came back, and the Grizzlies tied the score!
Immediately afterwards, Wade was ruthless, forced to close range, and when Gasol Jr. came up to make up for the defense, he was not afraid of confrontation, took a step across, got up and threw a shot from close range...... also scored, Wade's offense under the basket is still fierce!
This did not surprise the Grizzlies, although the first round was consumed by the Celtics' outside group, and Wade did not play well in the second round, but Wade began to find his form in the Eastern Conference finals.
