In the ninth minute of the second quarter, Conley's pull-up jump shot missed the target and came out of the frame.

But Randolph was in the right position in time, and with a slight leap, he grabbed the offensive rebound before everyone else.

"Zach grabbed the offensive rebound, he was an inside beast today!" Hubi. Brown was excited the moment he saw Randolph win the rebound, and Randolph's performance since the start of the second quarter to the present is simply amazing!

After Randolph grabbed the rebound, James and Bosh both stood beside him with their arms raised. But Randolph was not bluffed, he jumped up and made a layup with Bosh on his shoulder, and shot a second offense.

In the end, Randolph scored the ball hard with a two-man attack. Bosh and James looked at each other with surprise written on their faces.

Because after this goal, Randolph has made 8 of 8 shots in this quarter! Since his appearance to the present, Randolph has not missed a shot!

"The ball is scored, and the Grizzlies are 6 points ahead of the Heat! Coach Spoelstra had to call a halt to the game, and Z-Bo completely destroyed the Heat's weak interior today! ”

Under the shouts of the commentators and the cheers of the fans, Randolph raised his right arm and let out a low roar. It's like an angry black bear swearing that its territory is inviolable.

8 of 8 shots, 17 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, 100% shooting! Zack. Randolph played superstar in the second quarter, and Jogle's tactics proved to work. He used an offensive strategy to make the Grizzlies change from passive to active, from backward to leading.

Link rushed up to touch Randolph's chest in the air at the moment of the game's pause, and before Link could make much of a shot in the second quarter, Randolph had already beaten the Heat's defense into holes.

Randolph's desire for 72 wins has made him invincible under the basket. The interior combination of James + Bosh is obviously unable to contain the real low-post scorer.

The Heat continued to look for opportunities from beyond the three-point line in the quarter, but when they shot 3-of-8 from three-point range in the second quarter, the score began to get closer until they overtook it. Although Randolph was only a 2-point and 2-point chisel, because of his high efficiency, he still made the Heat suffer.

Randolph told the league that as long as your low-post offense is efficient enough, you can also restrain three-point shots in turn. The game of basketball is far from being as simple as 3 points and 1 point more than 2 points. In this age of three-point shooting, retro low-post play can sometimes work wonders.

The Heat players walked off the court dejectedly, and their start to the first quarter was so fantastic that being behind them now hit them hard.

On the other side, the Grizzlies players are getting more and more excited. The feeling of being suppressed by the other party was swept away in an instant, and they became the party that controlled the initiative again.

Sure enough, when the game resumed, the Heat had to send in veteran Haslem. Together with Bosh, he will build a protective net on the inside to prevent Randolph from continuing to wreak havoc in the low post.

"Birdman" Chris. Anderson and Greg. Oden's injury has made the Heat, who are already extremely short of interior reserves, unable to draw manpower now. Haslem + Bosh is already the strongest interior combination that the Heat can send.

For the rest of the second quarter, Randolph was heavily defended by Haslem and Bosh. Although Haslem is not as capable as James, he is more willing to work hard than James on the defensive end.

James still has to worry about attacking, and it is impossible to devote all his energy to hand-to-hand combat with Randolph. Therefore, the confrontation he gave Randolph in the low post was not necessarily fiercer than Haslem.

Randolph was temporarily limited, but the Heat's defensive energy was also dispersed. Link leads Nick. Young continued to score, leaving the Heat's defense still shaky.

On the final attack before half-time, Randolph reached for the ball after leaning on Haslem in the low post to get into position.

The pace of the second half of the second quarter was very retro, with far more footage of the two teams battling in the low post than three-point shooting.

It feels like you've stepped back in time to the '90s or the beginning of the 21st century, and the big guys are all about hand-to-hand combat.

Conley comfortably fed the ball to the mouth of the "big black bear", and Randolph received the ball and turned his back and squeezed under the basket, ready to attack the frame.

However, "Big Black Bear" had just taken off when he was brutally dragged down by Haslem. Randolph, who had lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, and Link felt the wooden floor shake beneath his feet.

The referee blew the whistle immediately, and Haslem was undoubtedly a foul. Moreover, it is not an exaggeration to blow even a malicious foul.

The Grizzlies players immediately stepped in, but fortunately, the people present now are not troublemakers, otherwise there will definitely be a conflict on the spot.

Link was the first to rush to Randolph's side, he looked at Randolph on the ground and stretched out his right hand, "Are you alright?" ”

"Hehe, okay, I didn't fall!" Randolph, who was sweating profusely, laughed, his chest rising and falling violently as he lay on the ground.

Randolph played a lot of time in this quarter, and he had to defend James on 8-of-8 shooting in a single quarter, which must have cost him a lot of energy.

It can be said that Randolph concentrated on breaking out in the second quarter in order to open a gap for Link. He didn't think about the second half at all today because Randolph believed that Link could handle everything in the second half.

So in the second quarter, Randolph unreservedly bloomed himself.

Link then punched Randolph in the chest while he was still lying, "Good work, leave the rest to me, Zack." ”

Link and Gasol then grabbed Randolph's left and right hands respectively, allowing the "Big Black Bear", which weighed a lot, to get back on his feet.

The audience erupted in applause, and Randolph moved his body to indicate that he was not injured and stepped onto the free throw line.

Randolph took a few big breaths and calmed his breath before starting the free throw. In the end, he hit both free throws from the free-throw line to help the Grizzlies go into halftime with a seven-point advantage.

At halftime, the Grizzlies arranged a wonderful fancy dunk show for the fans. Through the trampoline under the basket, the stuntmen were able to stage all kinds of exaggerated dunks in the "basketball fire style".

But neither the live commentators nor the fans in the stands had any intention of watching the performance. They can't get enough of the half-game that just ended.

Zach scored 19 points in a single quarter, making him the highest-scoring player in the game in just one quarter. The Grizzlies' strategy changed dramatically in the second quarter, and they managed to find the key to victory after suffering a loss in the first quarter. If it weren't for the Heat's performance in the second quarter, the difference might have been even greater! ”

"That's right, Randolph has managed to disrupt the Heat's defense right now. Next, Link will not be so tightly flanked again. Whether the Grizzlies can win in the second half depends on whether Link can seize the opportunity! ”

Everyone knows that Randolph isn't really the Grizzlies' main point of attack today. Although his 19 points in a single quarter are so fierce that he doesn't look like a veteran who is about to turn 33, his ability to score consistently is not strong. In the second half, you can't expect Randolph to put in another magical performance.

But so what? Randolph has successfully completed his task, and he has done everything he can.

The game is back in Link's hands!

"LeBron, you have to defend Link alone in the second half!" In the Heat locker room at this time, Spoelstra naturally saw through this.

He knew very well that the Heat could not continue to flank Link unscrupulously in the second half. If that were to happen, Randolph's 19 points in a single quarter would be the price!

Next, James has to face the guy who has averaged 31.7 points per game in the past seven games.

For some reason, Spoelstra was nervous. He couldn't believe that he was worried about James' defense right now!

After all, Link's example of blowing up Durant and George is alive in front of Spoelstra, and everyone who has watched those two games will have lingering feelings about it.

James nodded solemnly and didn't say much. His most important task now is to seize the time to rest and try to regain every ounce of strength.

The game has been completely controlled by the Grizzlies, and the Heat can only play as the Grizzlies want to play now. So in the second half, James believes, it's going to be a very difficult half.

More than ten minutes later, the Federal Express Arena was bustling with activity again. The game resumes and the Heat will begin their second half with a seven-point deficit.

As soon as the second half came up, Link made a clever pass to Iguodala for a three-point shot. It's just a pity that Iguodala, like Wade today, couldn't find a crosshair outside the three-point line at all.

After the basketball stumbled out of the frame, Haslem grabbed the rebound, and James buried his head in the front court, ready to fight!

After Chalmers dribbled the ball past half court, he quickly handed the ball to James. Now the only one who can approach the score and change the decline is the No. 6!

Link opened his arms and stuck to it, and as soon as the second half came up, the two started a duel!

James made a couple of triple threat steps and then suddenly shot dry! And when shooting, the body is also very aggressively leaning forward!

Link was found for a foul, and he really didn't expect James to make this move out of the blue. What's even worse is that James's three-point goal of finding a foul actually hit the board head-on!

The basketball goes into the net, and the referee's whistle blows. The Heat bench boiled instantly, and James had a chance to score four points at the beginning of the second half!

"There's really nothing to say about this ball, LeBron made the most of the rules, and also showed his great individual ability." Hubi. Brown shook his head, James was the prelude to the second half of the game.

"Fuck, what shit luck." Watching the basketball hit the front board, Link was a little speechless. You said that James was not blinded in this ball, and I guess he didn't believe it himself.

But Link was not annoyed, and still looked relaxed. When James walked to the free-throw line, Link even whispered, "You can't score by luck every round, LeBron." ”

Faced with a defense without a pinch attack, Link believes that he has the ability to make James suffer! He said he was going to start taking over the game, but he didn't just talk about it.

This score of four is just the last shred of comfort for James before facing hell.
