1408. The goals of both sides - the third quarter (2nd more)
After the second quarter started, the Heat discovered that the Grizzlies no longer desperately tried to overtake the score.
In other words, in the first half of the second quarter, Sun Ce was the main attacker and in the second half, Randolph was the main attacker. They were separate. They were not like the first quarter, where the two went on the field together to coordinate the offense desperately, connecting high and low posts, and playing gray.
The strongest positional attack the Bears have ever had.
Even in the second half of the second quarter, Sun Ce and Randolph played together, but they didn't play like they did in the first half of the first quarter.
Those who fought hard became Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Gasol, Shane Battier, Nash, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders.
The Grizzlies still have two lineups. In the first lineup, Randolph is resting and Gasol is supporting him. The Grizzlies do not play run-and-gun, and their offense has gained stability. They are not in a hurry and play steadily.
Do your best to defend and do your best to attack.
In the second half of the second quarter, Nash came up and led Klay Thompson and Yi Jianlian to attack with Sun Ce and Randolph.
In the second quarter, Sun Ce and Randolph played in isolation when necessary, restrained or moved to attract the defense when necessary, and helped Gasol or Nash organize the offense.
During this period, except for the two of them, everyone else worked hard when attacking. It was not that they didn't work hard. When two people needed to fight alone, the two of them would fight to the end without doing anything extra. Let this group of talented people
Teammates unleash their full strength.
It is true that even if others try their best or even perform exceptionally, they will not be as efficient as when the two of them fight to the death. However, playing like this allows Randolph to play relatively easily and can reserve energy for the second half.
Sun Ce, on the defensive end, tried his best to defend, and on the offensive end, he tried his best to run around without the ball or look for opportunities to score. He occasionally played singles and chose to trust his teammates.
Trust has been rewarded. These teammates are trustworthy teammates. In the second quarter, relying on Klay Thompson's three-pointer and a long two-pointer, Nash's three assists and Gasol's two assists, Yi Jianlian and
Paul George scored 10 points together, and the Grizzlies scored 23-23 in a single quarter.
The score was 9-11 in the first half and 14-12 in the second half!
After halftime, the Grizzlies were 3 points behind 50 to 53 entering the intermission. In the second quarter, they relied on team offense to prevent the Heat from widening the gap!
…
Back in the locker room, Sun Ce looked at his statistics. He played for 24 minutes, 12 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 3 steals and 2 fouls. He scored 8 points in the first quarter and 4 points in the second quarter. He devoted himself to the defensive end.
In the second quarter, the team's scoring efficiency was indeed not as high as when he was attacking with all his strength, because two of the three assists came in the first quarter.
But it's not that bad. He doesn't dominate the ball all the time, but works as an off-ball shooter to cooperate with his teammates. His teammates will always have more room for their own performance, and his teammates are indeed talented, and their talents have begun to be realized.
Strength, and the core organizers Gasol and Nash successively stepped up the formation, playing very well!
First, they relied on one senior and four juniors to slow down the rhythm, and then relied on Nash to stabilize the offensive efficiency. In the first half, Wade + James + Nene did not lead the team and played well, which was slightly inferior. However, in the second half, James went to rest.
, the team led by Nash played better than the team led by Wade and Bosh.
The key is to play like this. His Sun is much more relaxed. In the second quarter, as long as he is responsible for defense and running, catching and shooting, the Heat will definitely not let him take open shots. He only made two open shots, 1 of 2, and a high post shot.
He made 1 of 2 shots in singles, did not initiate, and only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 2 steals.
But the point difference is still only 3 points!
The situation is moving towards Sun Ce's plan. Next, in the third quarter, it's time to start changing!
…
Coach Hollins did not intervene in Sun Ce’s adjustments during the halftime break. He just helped think of a better lineup to adapt to Sun Ce’s ideas. This is what coach Hollins is good at. According to the opponent’s lineup, play style, status, and the performance of his own players
State and strategic needs arrange lineups.
Back from the halftime break, the Grizzlies' combination of Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Randolph, and Larry Sanders came on the court.
On the Heat's side, James, who had rested for half a quarter, came on. Along with Chalmers, Wade, Bosh, and Nene, the Heat made a regular rotation and started the second half with all of them.
Randolph played 13 minutes in the first half, scoring 7 points in 7 and a half minutes of the first quarter, 2 points in 5 and a half minutes of the second quarter, and 9 points and 4 rebounds in the half. Overall, he played very well, mainly
It was the second quarter, and there was only one single. The rest of the time, he was maintaining the threat + rushing for offensive rebounds. The threat was maintained, but the Heat blocked him in the offensive rebounds. He was so stuck that he couldn't do more.
Contribution, he also adjusted his style of play within the tactics Sun Ce wanted to play, maintaining the threat of rushing and grabbing to consume Nene and Chris Anderson, and not grabbing hard to reduce his own consumption.
Sun Ce's style of play made him and Randolph consume less energy in the second quarter. Sun Ce did not use physical potions during the halftime break, and Randolph only played 13 minutes in the half; similarly, their
The impact was lower than the Heat expected, and it also gave James a half-quarter rest in the second quarter, unlike when he played the Bulls, who 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 in the mid-range. Larry Sanders maintained control on the bottom line. Klay Thompson was on the left sideline.
On the move, Randolph got stuck in the low post and asked for the ball from Nene. Sun Ce lobbed the ball to Randolph.
It's up to Randolph!
Sun Ce's play style had been discussed in detail during the halftime break. Randolph knew that he was the most important in this section!
Today's insiders, with Howard losing his former explosiveness, Duncan, Nowitzki and Yao Ming getting old, declining in singles, and retiring... Under such circumstances, if Randolph's low post attack considers himself second
, no one dares to claim the first place!
Randolph took a strong step and used his explosive force to push Nene away. He turned around, and with agility that was extremely inconsistent with his body shape, he took the ball and took one step to the right side of the three-second zone, switching the ball from his left hand to his right hand.
, a small throw... James took it in but was dodged by Randolph's change of hands. Randolph scored two points in a low single!
52 to 53, the Grizzlies narrowed the point difference to 1 point!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Heat felt a very obvious change in the Grizzlies. They no longer played slowly like in the second quarter, but seemed to want to use the team's best player to start rushing!
The Heat are not afraid. The opponent has two superstars, and the Heat have three!
Chapter completed!
