After half-time, the first ball was given to Randolph, who was certainly the safest to play alone.

Didn't disappoint his teammates, Randolph's muscular silhouette twisted around in the low post, deceived the inside sideways, Randolph turned around and slapped the ball, grabbed the ball and took a flexible step to the right side of the three-second zone, and scored two points with a small hook hand with his back to the baseline!

On the Grizzlies' side, in terms of stability and offensive ability, the strongest must be Randolph, and when he competes with James at the beginning, it is natural that Randolph comes, and Randolph will not drop the chain.

According to the opening style of play on the Heat's side, the Grizzlies' side also made adjustments to the start, maybe Randolph will play too hard in the first quarter, and the second quarter may not play too long.

But based on current demand, it's not a bad thing for Randolph to use the physical strength of the first half in the early stages of the game when James came up and stormed.

In terms of the continuity of scoring in the opening game, Randolph took the lead and Sun Ce scored or pinned down to help Larry Sanders, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler find better offensive opportunities, and the Grizzlies did a good job on their side.

But the problem is in the defensive area.

The defense strategy is okay, the execution is okay, but there are too many fouls! In the fourth minute of the first quarter, Jimmy Butler picked up a second foul.

Originally, Jimmy Butler had a lot of fouls because of his rough defensive fundamentals, playing an average of 28 minutes per game in the first four games, averaging 4.25 fouls per game, and the Grizzlies did not replace him.

However, in the 6th minute and 28th minute of the first quarter, Wade borrowed James to block and force Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson to switch defenses, Wade forced Jimmy Butler to the basket and caused Jimmy Butler to foul!

The game went into an official timeout, and the Grizzlies have played nearly six and a half minutes and scored 12 points, which is one point ahead of the Heat's 11 points.

However, Wade's side came back from a timeout and had two free throws, and that wasn't the end of it, Jimmy Butler made 3 fouls!

Got 3 fouls in the first quarter!

Although Jimmy Butler fouled a lot in the first four games, it was not so frequent, and there was nothing wrong with the whistle, Jimmy Butler did foul, but obviously, this was targeted by the other party!

The Heat's possession points tonight are more scattered, in fact, Wade and James take turns to break through, trying to beat Jimmy Butler down in every possible way!

Maybe it wasn't intended that way at first, but Jimmy Butler got a foul on the first defense, and the Heat rushed to cause Jimmy Butler to foul from behind.

Jimmy Butler was quite important in this Finals, and he didn't replace him in time, Coach Hollins now feels like a mistake, but Jimmy Butler has not been without consecutive fouls in previous games, because he is only the defensive leader in this Finals, every time the Grizzlies care about the number of Jimmy Butler's fouls, the Heat side has not taken advantage of this before.

But tonight the other party took advantage of it, it would be difficult to do it, if there is no one who can carry James at the critical moment, this guy is a superstar who can score more than a dozen points in the last quarter! Although it only appeared once, just like Sun Ce, who was defending them by the other party, he appeared once and was afraid of appearing a second time.

Fortunately, there is no need to rush in the first quarter, now change the rotation lineup, Randolph and Jimmy Butler go down to rest, and the lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol Jr. is replaced.

……

After the timeout, Wade walked to the free throw line, and the Big Three were not rested and were ready to make a big play tonight, with Ray Allen and Chris Anderson on the court.

Wade hit the first free throw and the second free throw, and didn't give the Grizzlies a chance to fight back from the outside, and Paul George's fast drive and setter ability made the Heat suffer in this Finals.

Sun Ce received the serve and advanced to the front court to hand over to Gasol Jr., who was pulled to the high position, and pulled James to the side, James's defense tonight was very impactful, in half a quarter, Sun Ce had no other chance to shoot except for an offensive and defensive conversion emergency stop jump shot, and a strong shot to catch the pot, and neither ball scored.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry, in the first half of the quarter, Randolph led the offense, he mainly worked the defensive end, and got 3 boards, 1 assist and 1 block.

Paul George pulled out from the bottom left corner, Gasol Jr. moved to the left with steady control under Chris Anderson's sticky defense, came to the left side of the free throw line, threw the ball into the air when Paul George ran out, stood firmly, Paul George ran around the pile to the top arc, just in time to receive the ball!

Gasol Jr.'s passing accuracy is better than Sun Ce's, Paul George is very comfortable when he receives the ball, and when he is about to jump and shoot, Ray Allen, who defends Klay Thompson at a 45-degree angle on the right side, pounces on Paul George and sticks to Paul George to not give Paul George a full chance to jump, Paul George passes to Klay Thompson again, Klay Thompson receives the ball and pushes the ball to the basket without stopping, not shooting, but passing!

James pounced very quickly from the right baseline to defend Klay Thompson, Wade also closed it towards the basket, the Heat high-speed rotation defense was very fast, but the Grizzlies' double 3D combination outside the three-point line received the ball in an instant, Ray Allen and James quickly switched defenses in place, Wade was a beat slower!

Sun Ce rushed in and jumped hard, and when he flew low and smashed the ball into the basket, Wade just appeared under the basket......

"F......" rushed in and didn't stop but didn't jump to foul Wade, who pushed Sun Ce's crotch with his palm, and he already thought about what pictures might be used in the post-game news!

The Grizzlies still have a two-point lead.

Although he was just "dunked", the Heat did not get discouraged or angry, and Wade knew that it was important to calmly take advantage of it at this time.

Now the advantage is James!

The Grizzlies retreated quickly, and if it was a goal, it would be difficult for the Heat to fight back against them, Klay Thompson followed Ray Allen, Sun Ce followed Wade who advanced, Battier went to defend Bosh, and Gasol Jr. stayed in the low post and went in and out of the sideline in the three-second zone.

After Wade advanced to the front court, he handed the ball to James, who singled Paul George!

Superiority is just superiority, and having the ability to convert superiority into a leading score is what a superstar should do.

James is the superstar of the superstars! In terms of age, competitive state, and personal ability, James is a well-deserved strongest player, and James has done a very good job of seizing the opportunity!
