1442. Three Quarters and Three Pairs! (7th Reward Plus 6)
Coming back from a timeout, the Heat attacked.
Sun Ce waited for James to receive the serve, and now, it's time for the decisive battle!
James received the ball, he understood the current situation very well, there was no borrowing to block and dismantle, and he was strong!
In the past, when Larry Sanders was on the inside with Randolph or Gasol Jr., James would choose to block and pick-and-roll, but now Sun Ce is alone...... Not to mention Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler is an outside defense, and he is also a strong attacker.
The Grizzlies chose to continue to cut off the passing defense, and James burst inside to open Yi Jianlian to make up for the basket and scored two points.
James's physicality is against the sky, and he is extremely good at using his physical fitness, Charles Barkley has said that he will use his physical fitness, which is the difference between an ordinary physical player and a star.
Sun Ce hurried to the front court after James scored, and the Heat quickly retreated.
After Yi Jianlian was beaten one, he immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Nash, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!
This lineup must be unstoppable, this lineup has two purposes, first, to carry James who has turned on the onslaught mode, and second, to help Sun Ce share the pressure, and at the same time, it is also to let Klay Thompson and Paul George find a shooting feeling.
In the counterattack, Sun Ce, who was fast for the first time, attracted the defense of Ray Allen and James Jones, and Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson, who followed up, also had to be defended, Nash couldn't ignore it, the Heat once again vacated Paul George, and Nash was in place in time!
Paul George catches the ball and makes a three-point shot from a 45-degree angle on the right side......
It was a beautiful match, but it didn't score, and the ball hit the basket and bounced high, but Sun Ce jumped behind James Jones, who was struggling to get stuck, and scored two points through James Jones' dunk!
"Keep casting, I'm here!"
Sun Ce said a word when he high-fived Paul George when he ran out, but he didn't say much, and quickly retreated into place.
After James Jones was dunked from behind, he didn't have time to react, he heard James roaring to serve, and quickly picked up the ball and sent it out.
The Grizzlies' rhythm adjustment is too good, James now judges that he can't continue to press the rhythm and take the initiative to fall into the positional battle, even if the Grizzlies' side of the lineup is not good at defense, but there are Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler, which can more or less cause trouble for them, mainly because his pass will be cut off!
In the face of the Grizzlies' defensive strategy, James judged that only counterattacks could bring out the team's offense.
In the counterattack, taking advantage of the transition between offense and defense, the Grizzlies did not fall into a good position to prevent passing, James broke through to attract the pinch ball, and Bosh cut in to receive the ball and dunk to score two points.
James was right!
But the Grizzlies immediately counterattacked, and the Heat did not press the rhythm, although they scored, but the formation was also chaotic, which is Nash's favorite situation.
In the counterattack, Nash passed the ball to Sun Ce, and when Sun Ce rushed into the interior, James, Ray Allen, and Chris Anderson concentrated on blocking Sun Ce here, and Sun Ce distributed the ball to Paul George, who was in the same position as the previous round, and the Heat released Paul George again, because Paul George had just hit the iron.
And Nash, who was let go by James, Bosh took it back, and James Jones also followed Klay Thompson.
Paul George received the ball, he was not timid because of the iron in the previous round, otherwise he would not have worn the No. 24 jersey, plus Sun Ce's encouragement, he received the ball for three points and then threw ......
Sun Ce's 8th assist! Paul George makes a three-point shot!
70-66, the Grizzlies extended their lead to 4 points!
Paul George's three-point shot sent a shiver in the hearts of the Heat's players!
Fortunately, James turned around and played a breakthrough 2+1, and the free throws were scored, and the Heat continued to bite the score.
failed to pull the difference apart in a sudden wave, Sun Ce regretted it for a moment and continued to devote himself to attacking and defending with all his might.
In the 9th minute and 11 seconds, Sun Ce passed to Yi Jianlian's empty hand, and in the 11th minute and 20 seconds, Sun Ce passed the ball to Klay Thompson and hit a three-point shot......
With Klay Thompson's three-point shot, the Grizzlies are 80-75 and have a five-point lead over the Heat!
Moreover, Sun Ce's data has become 18 points, 15 boards, 10 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, and the third quarter has not yet been played, and he has already won the second triple-double in this finals!
James was not distracted by the data posted on the big screen, there are 30 seconds left, theoretically the two teams still have one attack, James has to ensure that this goal can be scored, and try to minimize the opposing offensive time, two to three points behind into the final quarter will have a greater chance.
Even if you don't score, you can't let the Grizzlies continue to pull away from the score, and it's important to take time.
Rao is James, who is also gasping now, looking at the 24-second offensive time with 8 seconds left, adjusting the rhythm of breathing, James broke through by blocking and dismantling!
Yi Jianlian, a new force, immediately blocked up, and James turned around and left Yi Jianlian behind, horizontal!
But just when James turned around and jumped on his knees to dunk, ready to be demoralized at the end of the third quarter, Paul George, who contracted in, cut off the ball that James lifted with a palm!
Steal!
James' physical strength and energy are obviously not as good as before, and he didn't notice that Paul George had been taken in!
However, James reacted quickly and immediately posted Paul George to steal, Paul George failed to divide the ball at the first time, Sun Ce ran over to pass the ball to Sun Ce, and James quickly made up for Sun Ce.
With 9 seconds left in the third quarter, the Heat are doing their best!
Sun Ce pushed through the half court with all his might under James's defense, because Klay Thompson had just scored three points, the alternative connection between Sun Ce and Klay Thompson in the first few games impressed the Heat team, James stuck to Sun Ce very tightly, and Sun Ce had a three-point opportunity.
Sun Ce arrived outside the three-point line in the front court, and there were more than 3 seconds left in the offensive time, Sun Ce quickly said a word in his heart, and suddenly recovered his physical strength and burst out!
Originally, James thought that Sun Ce was running out of strength, and in the confrontation just now, Sun Ce was obviously not so fierce because of the decline in physical strength, but Sun Ce suddenly exerted his strength, as if he was completely unaffected by the past three quarters of the game at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
And James's own side consumed a lot, and was pushed away by Sun Ce!
Sun Ce rushed inside and threw a shot with 1 second left on the timer above the rebound...... Hit!
With Sun Ce's counterattack this time, the Grizzlies finished the third quarter and led the Heat by 7 points at 82-75!
20 points, 15 boards, 10 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, Sun Ce got 20+ triple-doubles after the third quarter!
Although James, who scored 34 points, 10 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the third quarter, performed better overall.
However, Sun Ce is not alone, the talent accumulated by the Grizzlies team has gradually been converted into strength over the past few years, and the whole team is struggling!
