In the stands at the Federal Express Arena, Grizzlies fans covered their heads with their hands in frustration, their eyes full of disbelief.

They've never been so embarrassed by an opponent since the All-Star break. Even in the number of games they lost, the Grizzlies made it very difficult for the other team to win.

Grizzlies fans haven't experienced anything like falling behind by 8 points in the first quarter and being shot defenseless.

The same is true for the Grizzlies players, who didn't think the game would be so weak, even when they played back-to-back games against the Heat half a month ago.

Defensively, they could only watch James pound the basket efficiently, or else they would have to wait to be shot.

On the offensive end, Link struggled in the crowd again and again, and the Heat's shrinking defense was as punctual as an alarm clock. As soon as Link stepped into the penalty area, a group of big men in black jerseys would rush in and stop Link in the most vicious way possible.

"The two sides played very intensely, and it was clear that they really didn't plan to save energy before the playoffs. Or rather, this game is part of the playoffs for both sides. We don't know about Dave. How Coach Jogel will adjust, I just know that if the Grizzlies don't get 72 wins today, both the Memphis players and fans will be extremely disappointed. ”

Hubi. Brown frowned, his eyes fixed on the Grizzlies' bench.

Dave. Joggle was sitting on the bench yelling excitedly, and he was looking straight to get the game back on track.

In the second quarter, Zach returned to the starting lineup. Seize the opportunity and let's storm the Heat's interior! ”

When Jogel said the first words, everyone was taken aback.

Changing Randolph to start in the second quarter? Isn't that suicide?

The Heat scored 32 points in the first quarter of the game, which can be regarded as a complete breakdown of the Grizzlies' proud defense. In such a situation, Randolph, who did not help much defensively, was played in the second quarter?

The players had some doubts, even Randolph himself. When the Heat play a big four or small lineup, he often can't get involved. But today, when the team was on the back foot, the manager was the first to think of him.

"I know, we were blown up by a three-pointer from the Heat in the first quarter! Now the Heat's three-point hand is so hot that they can fry eggs with their bare hands, and even if we defend it, we may not be able to prevent them from scoring! So in the second quarter, I need you to completely open up the situation on the offensive end! Especially on the inside, which is the weakest point for the Miami Heat! ”

Joggle explained as he wrote and drew on the tactical board. Grizzlies want to win? Just free Link! And if you want to free Link today, you have to break the tight rapid contraction of the Heat. The best way to break the contraction is to find a threatening second point of attack so that they don't dare to shrink!

In the second half of the first quarter, after Jogger's adjustments, the Grizzlies' defense from beyond the three-point line was actually excellent. But even so, the Heat were able to hit three-pointers on defense. Sometimes the three-point feel is thrown, and it really can't be curbed by conventional methods alone.

Since the defense is unreliable, then rely on offense, then counter violence with violence, and see who scores more! If you score 32 points in a quarter, I'll score 35 points.

Jogel needed the Grizzlies to play a strong offensive wave in the second quarter, and only in this way could the momentum of the Heat be suppressed. Otherwise, the whole game today will fall into the rhythm of the Heat.

Therefore, Joggle plans to change to Randolph, a low-post killer, and storm the Heat's interior line!

As soon as it began, Joggle was rounded up in circles. Wouldn't he play one big or four small with the Heat, but wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up the Grizzlies' biggest interior advantage?

Although Randolph and James struggled to align themselves, at least Randolph was able to get back the points he had lost in the low post. And playing a small lineup with the Heat, once the Heat explodes from the three-point line and knocks Link on the defensive end, the Grizzlies will be blind in an instant.

If Randolph can break the Heat's low position, that's Link's chance! Now Link needs a helper, so Georger will give Link a helper!

After listening to Jogel's arrangement, Randolph nodded solemnly. This big fat man who is not serious on weekdays is very reliable at critical moments.

At this point, the short intermission ends and the second quarter begins.

On the other side of the court, James led the Heat players to roar, majestic, as if they were going to win the Grizzlies at halftime.

Link looked at the other menacing Heat player and patted Randolph on the shoulder, "I said it all, you have to clean up LeBron in person for this game." ”

"Hehe, leave it to Link, I'm sure I can get involved in the defense for you." After Randolph finished speaking, his expression immediately became vicious.

If this is on the streets of Memphis, and you meet this kind of big fat man with a fierce expression, the most correct reaction should be to turn around and run.

"At the start of the second quarter, the Grizzlies actually put Randolph back in the starting lineup!?" Hubi. Brown was a little surprised, and in the stands, the fans didn't understand what this was doing.

In the first quarter of the game, Link, who defended George with a shooting rate of less than 30%, did not completely prevent James, so let Randolph defend it? What kind of bullshit operation is this!

Randolph doesn't think he's at a disadvantage, he doesn't need to contain James, he just needs to help Link blast a hole. Then, Link, naturally, will make the Heat pay the price.

The game restarted with the Grizzlies attacking first. Now it's Wade who defends Link, as James has to fight the "Big Black Bear" on the inside.

Wade was still a little nervous, and with his current physical condition, he was afraid that he would not be able to cope with Link's double change of direction. But when the grizzlies came up, they hoisted the ball directly to the inside!

Just as the Heat are resolutely outside the three-point line, the Grizzlies are also resolutely trying to open up the situation inside!

Randolph received the basketball steadily, and at 2.06 meters tall, he is not tall at the No. 4 position, but he is still one size bigger than James.

James held Randolph's waist, he was very nervous!

Maybe the fans and commentators can't see what the Grizzlies want to do, but James knows that the Heat's weak interior is now completely exposed to the Grizzlies' firepower!

In the first few games, the Heat finally forced the Grizzlies to play a small lineup. But today, the Grizzlies seem to have woken up, trying to catch the Heat's weakest point and storm it.

And whether the Heat's interior line will collapse across the board, the key depends on whether James can contain Randolph!

Randolph wants the Grizzlies to get better, and his desire to win 72 is actually stronger than Link's. He loves this team, so when this team needs him, he will never fail to live up to expectations!

Randolph began to his fat buttocks and sit back, and Randolph, who had the tonnage advantage, made James, the "devil's muscleman", very difficult to resist. His fat body is not long to keep out the cold.

Halfway through the top, Randolph suddenly focused on the premise and turned over and jumped to shoot!

Don't forget, Randolph is not a fat man who only wins by brute force. Don't be fooled by his size, "Tennessee's" skill set is absolutely top in the No. 4 position.

James didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity, so the block was a step slower. Randolph was able to take his shot in stride and throw the ball hollow in!

As soon as the opening kick started, Randolph managed to score in the low post! Link happily goes up and bumps into Randolph, the big guy is the most reliable helper at all times!

"Z-Bo scored at the start of the second quarter, and LeBron was a little tired of coping. However, we all know that the Grizzlies' problem in the first quarter was defense, and how should Randolph respond to James' offense? ”

After Randolph's goal, the crisis remained unresolved. The Heat still have a six-point lead, and no one knows if their three-point touch has cooled.

The first attack of the Heat in the second quarter, the basketball really hit James! James played Randolph, which was a very advantageous mismatch.

Randolph stretched out his arms like a wall of flesh in front of James.

James now only needs two more points to achieve the feat of surpassing 2,000 points in a single season for nine consecutive seasons.

He didn't hesitate, he was going to use his speed to hard wipe Randolph! The career milestone was reached in this round!

Randolph moved sideways in time to block James. Although it didn't force James to stop directly, colliding with such a lump of "pork belly" still slowed down James' speed greatly.

No matter how strong James is, he can't ignore Newton's laws.

James continued to rush towards the basket, and at this time Gasol had been pulled away by Bosh, and James was bound to win!

But just as James was about to attack the frame, Link came out and crossed between James and the basket.

James is now surrounded by Randolph on the flank, and Link is flanked in front. The "Little Emperor" reacted immediately and handed the ball to Wade, who was leaked out by Link!

He won't risk a record of 2000 points, and the team win today has to be ahead of the stats!

Wade made a shot from the three-point line, but unfortunately, this time the Heat's three-point shot didn't work. Wade is the only player in the current Heat team who does not have a three-point shooting record, and although the Heat shot 6 of 7 three-pointers in the first quarter, those have nothing to do with Wade.

Wade is averaging just 28.1 percent three-point shooting per game this season and is averaging just 0.6 three-pointers per game. The number of three-point shots is the lowest in nearly nine seasons. This season, Wade is very low in terms of three-point accuracy and three-point shooting desire.

Link deliberately defended Wade, so that he could flicker around James. Put Wade to shoot a three-pointer? That's not really a problem.

Wade missed a three-point shot, Randolph grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies won two consecutive rounds!

"Beautiful defense, and although Wade was leaked, he really wasn't great from beyond the three-point line. Three-point shooting, that's Wade's old problem. The last time he averaged 30 percent three-point shooting per game was three years ago. ”

Hubi. As Brown spoke, Conley had already received a pass from Randolph. But instead of attacking quickly, the Grizzlies began to play slow-paced positional battles.

This time, Link holds the ball from beyond the three-point line and calls in Gasol for cover. It looked like Link was going to get back in control of the offense.

"Do you want to score in such a hurry?" James said to himself that he didn't think Link would get a chance after Randolph scored just one goal.

Sure enough, after Link's breakthrough, he was still caught by the Heat players. The Heat's defense today is like a big net, imprisoning Link in the net.

Link was not afraid of a bunch of black-jersey opponents around him, and he still chose to jump after bursting in.

Bosh, James and Wade all jumped up, and once again, the Heat triumvirate set up a net for Link in the air.

But Link didn't jump to the frame, but to pass the ball behind his back!

"What!?"

James' eyes follow the basketball, and he eventually sees Randolph catch the basketball under the basket!

Because James pinched Link, Randolph easily cut in!

After the Big Three landed, Randolph had already jumped on the spot to complete the two-handed dunk after receiving the basketball.

His heavy body pulled the basket down violently, full of strength!

'Nice passing, Randolph was pretty good in the low post as well. He's just scored with a technical jumper, and now he's raging the basket in a very simple and crude way. That's Zach. Randolph, an ever-underrated No. 4 scorer! ”

The atmosphere at the Federal Express Arena was on fire again, and Randolph's dunk ignited everyone's confidence.

After that, Link and Randolph used the same method to contain James, and James also passed the ball to Wade from beyond the three-point line, and his plan to break the 2,000 points had to be delayed again.

Wade didn't disappoint his teammates this time, he shot the ball from beyond the three-point line, and the Heat scored another three-pointer! But overall, the Grizzlies still recovered one point 4-3 on the offensive end!

Vogel believes that Randolph's efficiency under the basket cannot be lower than Wade's efficiency from beyond the three-point line! The offense doesn't care if others can score or not, but finds a way to score more points than the opponent.

If this situation continues, the score will be equalized sooner or later as time goes on. When the time comes, it's time for Link to take over the game!

After Wade's goal, the Grizzlies players weren't upset. They all know that they still have one point back. As long as it continues, it is only a matter of time before the equaliser is reached.

Their strategy worked!

Randolph was excited to run forward again, but James was a little tired of fighting Randolph on the defensive end, and he didn't want to expend too much energy on the defensive end.

After a storm, there is always a rainbow. And Randolph will be transformed into the most dazzling color of the Federal Express Arena today.

Link watched Randolph catch the basket again in the low post, so he took a quick breath and took a breath, he was ready to take over the game at any time.
