After the start of the second quarter, the Heat found that the Grizzlies did not try desperately to overtake the score.

In other words, the two phases of Sun Ce's main offense in the first half of the second quarter and Randolph's main offense in the second half were separated, and there was no one like in the first quarter, when the two went on the court together to desperately cooperate with the offense, connecting high and low positions, and playing the strongest positional battle strong attack that the Grizzlies have.

Even in the second half of the second quarter, Sun Ce and Randolph played together, but they did not play like in the first half of the first quarter.

The desperate play became Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Gasol Jr., Battier, Nash, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders.

The Grizzlies are still two lineups, the first lineup, Randolph rests, with Gasol Jr.'s strategy, the Grizzlies are on their side, they don't fight, they don't run, they have stability in offense, and they are not in a hurry, they play steadily, try their best to defend, and try their best to attack.

In the second half of the second quarter, Nash came up and took Klay Thompson and Yi Jianlian to play the offense with Sun Ce and Randolph.

Sun Ce and Randolph singled when they needed in the second quarter, and there was no need to contain or run to attract the defense, and help Gasol Jr. or Nash organize the offense.

During this time, except for the two of them, everyone else fought hard when they attacked, and the two did not fight, and when they needed two people to play alone, the two of them fought to the end, but did not do superfluous things, so that this group of talented teammates could release their strength with all their might.

Indeed, even if others try their best or even play extraordinarily, they are not as efficient as when the two fight to the death, but playing like this makes Randolph play relatively easily and can reserve physical strength for the second half.

On Sun Ce's side, the defensive end tried his best to defend, and the offensive end ran with all his strength to play without the ball or find opportunities to score, occasionally single, and chose to trust his teammates.

Trust was rewarded, and those teammates were trustworthy teammates, and the Grizzlies scored 23-23 in the second quarter thanks to a three-pointer and a two-pointer from Klay Thompson, three assists from Nash and two assists from Gasol Jr., and 10 points from Yi Jianlian and Paul George.

It was 9-11 in the first half and 14-12 in the second half!

At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed by 3 points 50-53 and entered the halftime break, relying on team offense in the second quarter, which did not let the Heat open up the difference!

……

Back in the locker room, Sun Ce looked at his stats, played 24 minutes, 12 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 3 steals and 2 fouls, 8 points in the first quarter and 4 points in the second quarter, and devoted himself to the defensive end.

The second quarter was indeed not as efficient as the team's scoring efficiency when he was attacking with all his might, because two of the three assists were scored in the first quarter.

But it's not bad, he doesn't dominate the ball all the time, but to be an off-ball pitcher and cooperate with his teammates, teammates will always have more room for their own play, and teammates are indeed talented, and talent has begun to realize into strength, and there are core playmakers Gasol Jr. and Nash have pressed the formation successively, playing very well!

first relied on one big and four small to suppress the rhythm, and then relied on Nash to stabilize the offensive efficiency, in the first half there was no Wade + James + Nene to lead the team to play well, slightly inferior, but in the second half James went down to rest, Nash led the team, and played better than Wade and Bosh led the team.

The key is to play like this, he is a lot easier, as long as he is responsible for defense and running to catch the ball in the second quarter, the Heat will definitely not let him shoot in the open position, he only has two empty shots, 2 shots and 1 shot, 2 shots and 1 shot in the high post back single, no initiation, only 4 points, 5 boards, 1 assist, 1 block and 2 steals.

But the difference is still only 3 points!

The situation is moving towards Sun Ce's plan, and then, in the third quarter, it's time to start changing!

……

Coach Hollins did not interfere with Sun Ce's adjustment at halftime, but only helped to think of a better lineup to adapt to Sun Ce's ideas, which is what Coach Hollins is good at, arranging the lineup according to the opponent's lineup and playing style, state, and the state and strategic needs of his own players.

Coming back from halftime, the Grizzlies came on with a combination of Son Ce, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Randolph and Larry Sanders.

On the Heat side, James, who had rested for half a quarter, came on the court, with Chalmers, Wade, Bosh, and Nene as the Heat team was a regular rotation, and they sent all the starters at the beginning of the second half.

Randolph played 13 minutes in the first half, scored 7 points in 7 and a half minutes in the first quarter, scored 2 points in 5 and a half minutes in the second quarter, and scored 9 points and 4 boards in the half. Don't go to hard grabs and reduce your own consumption.

Sun Ce's style of play made him and Randolph consume less in the second quarter of the game, Sun Ce did not use physical potions at halftime, and Randolph only played 13 minutes in the half; Similarly, their impact was lower than expected by the Heat, which also gave James a half-quarter break in the second quarter, unlike when he played the Bulls, James averaged 45 minutes per game.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Grizzlies attacked first, Sun Ce received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, Jimmy Butler ran on the weak side of the mid-range, Larry Sanders kept the bottom line contained, Klay Thompson moved on the left sideline, Randolph stuck Nene in the low post to ask for the ball, and Sun Ce hoisted the ball to Randolph.

It's up to Randolph to chisel!

At halftime, Sun Ce's style of play had been discussed in detail, and Randolph knew that he was the most important in this section!

Today's inside, Howard has lost his former explosiveness, Duncan and Nowitzki and Yao Ming's old age, singles decline and retirement...... In such a situation, if Randolph's low-post attack is self-proclaimed second, no one dares to admit first!

Randolph took a strong step, carried Nene away with explosive force, turned around, and with a flexibility that was extremely inconsistent with his size, he took a step to the right side of the three-second zone, changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and threw a small throw...... James was also dodged by Randolph's change of hands, and Randolph scored two points in a low single!

52-53, the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to 1 point!

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Heat felt a very obvious change in the Grizzlies, no longer playing slowly like in the second quarter, and seemed to want to start rushing with the team's best players!

This Heat team is not afraid, the opponent has two superstars, and their Heat team has three!

In the second quarter, the Heat's personnel adjustments followed the Grizzlies' less desperate style of play, and now James has a half-quarter rest, also for the third quarter!
