Nine Hundred and Forty-Nine. You Have the Little Emperor, We Have the Little Overlord!

Relying on the "food cutoff" effect triggered at the last moment, it was predicted that the target of James' pass was Wade to complete the block, helping the team return to the lounge with a two-point advantage, and also pretended to be aggressive at the end of the half. Still pretending to be cool with Wade, it took Sun Ce a while to calm down his excitement.

When Sun Ce went to the bathroom to wash his face, the ball boy came in with a clean jersey and towel.

It's nothing if you don't change. Although there is no need to take physical potion now, it is no problem to play three quarters with S-level endurance at full strength, but it is always good to change. The sense of ritual...

After wiping away the sweat with a hot towel and changing the jerseys, they returned to the lounge. The coaching staff, Nash, Gasol and others were discussing how to play the second half of the game.

With 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal and 1 turnover in the half, Sun Ce played the entire half and his performance was explosive.

However, James, who also played the whole game, had 31 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals and 2 turnovers in the half.

On the defensive end, the performance of the two was evenly matched. Sun Ce crushed James in rebounding, but James was obviously better on the offensive end.

This season, James has not been so damaged by Pat Riley that he will get cramps throughout the game. That was in the 13-14 season. Now he is at the peak of his physical fitness and is extremely resistant to grass.

How to play in the second half? After discussing for a long time, the depth advantage of the lineup is not big. The Heat have three players who are at least All-Star level. Bosh, who has the highest salary this season, only has 16.02 million U.S. dollars. Even if the Heat's total salary is only over 70 million U.S. dollars, there are still enough. money to build a roster of role players.

Moreover, they also relied on the Big Three to allow Chalmers, Joel Anthony, Haslem, James Jones and others to meet with salary cuts. The Heat's team building method was like cheating and broke the rules of the NBA game.

Playing against the well-adjusted Heat, Sun Ce felt that the Heat were really strong and their ability to win two consecutive championships should not be underestimated.

Although in the original time and space, Leonard's missed free throws and Ray Allen's three-pointer in 2013 delayed the championship to the tiebreaker, but being able to seize the opportunity is strength!

After falling behind 2-3, we won at least two games and even won the tie-break.

The teammates returned to the lounge one after another, and the discussion on how to play in the second half ended.

Coach Hollins made arrangements, and Nash continued to take control in the third quarter, allowing Sun Ce to strengthen his personal offense and completely free up Sun Ce's scoring!

…

…

After returning from the half-time break, the fans at the scene saw Sun Ce, who had changed into a clean jersey and put on goggles, and started cheering crazily.

At the end of the first half, what Sun Ce said to Wade reached the ears of all fans at the scene through the radio. Sun Ce was so strong against the Heat's Big Three, and the fans at the scene were so excited!

Fans in front of the TV and online also heard it. Even those who didn't hear it clearly saw it from the news during the halftime break, and a scolding war broke out on the Internet.

Sun Ce returned to the court. Since he was going to attack according to Stoudemire's method, Sun Ce naturally put on his goggles to show respect.

The only meeting in the regular season, both teams attach great importance to it, just like the last time they play the Bulls this season, and the only time they play the 76ers this season before the All-Star Weekend, they both want to win the game with all their strength.

Moreover, both sides played well, and now Sun Ce has no choice but to fight.

Whether it's to upgrade the balance bracelet, for Poshka, or for victory, you have to fight for it.

Sun Ce played with the combination of Nash, Neal, Paul George, and Randolph.

Wade also continued to play in the third quarter. This time he served as the main point, along with Tracy McGrady, Mike Miller, James, and Bosh.

Wade dribbled the ball forward, looked at Sun Ce, and thought of Sun Ce's real first game of his career. At that time, Sun Ce was awkward in his shooting movements, so he relied on his speed and passing IQ to help the Suns when Nash was resting. Killed them.

At this moment, Wade felt that he should have seen that Sun Ce had a bright future at that time. As for why he didn't say it at that time, it was the supervision of his seniors. He should not let a child who has not officially entered the NBA be too proud.

James stood inside to contain Sun Ce's defense. Wade took charge for a period of time, allowing James to rest on the court for a while. Paul George's defense was okay, but Wade passed the ball very beautifully. Bosh used McGrady's pick-and-roll to get rid of Yi Jianlian and then Ni Er failed to keep up, and Bosh hit a two-pointer from Wade, helping the Heat tie the score. Bosh's own score also increased to 11 points.

Although Bosh's skills have seriously deteriorated, his shooting is very stable. He can steadily contribute 15+ points in every game, even more stable than Wade. Wade has been injured for two games in three days. He made huge sacrifices and contributions on his way to MVP.

However, James does not have the ball to go inside to contain Bosh. Bosh basically gives up offensive rebounding. In fact, James' sudden points have not that big an impact on Bosh's offensive rebounding. If James holds the ball and Bosh goes to the pick-and-roll, it will completely He can cut in to attract outside shots to grab rebounds, but James plays without the ball, and Bosh basically has no offensive rebounding opportunities. James has no ability to move without the ball, and he is not good at catching and shooting. He only has the ability to eat cakes under the basket. Bosh Shi has to be pulled out to shoot.

But in terms of defensive rebounds, Bosh couldn't withstand it. Nash started a fast break. Yi Jianlian caught the ball and defended James but missed the mid-range shot. Sun Ce took off behind Bosh and hit the ball into the basket through Bosh. .

When the Heat attacked, Wade broke through the basket and took a phantom step, pushing Sun Ce who was standing still to defend and dunking with one hand to get two points. Sun Ce had no choice but to try to interfere, but failed. Wade's European step has a very good sense of rhythm, and he is known as a double master with Ginobili. Only the sixth man of the Thunder has the charm of these two people's European steps.

When the Grizzlies attacked again, the Heat were really ready to defend. They retreated quickly and were always at a disadvantage in the attack. Every time they relied on James to make an effort to keep the score close. This was a very torturous thing for the Grizzlies. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't widen the gap; but it was also torturous for the Heat. Once James' scoring was interrupted, it would be terrible. Moreover, it was already the third quarter. If they were accidentally widened by five, six, seven or eight points, if the Grizzlies didn't even want to attack in the last quarter and fought hard on defense, it would be terrible for the Heat.

Nash quickly advanced to the front court under the interference of Wade. The defense of the Heat team was already very good. In addition to helping James rest for a while on the offensive end, Wade's main point guard also had another purpose, which was to let James put more energy into defense.

Sun Ce came to the right mid-range and found that James was defending him again.

Obviously, the defense of the Heat team has changed. In order to expand the role of James's defense, Sun Ce defended Bosh when he went inside, and James when he went outside.

Sun Ce leaned on James and asked for the ball in the high position on the right!

Nash immediately passed the ball. Sun Ce received the ball, saw the movement of Yi Jianlian, seized the opportunity, turned over and made a backward jump shot... It was decisively missed, and there was no comfort of turning over.

However, Yi Jianlian ran back and cut in to get two points!

Bosh didn't have a good pick-and-roll awareness and ability. Now he weighs about 100 kilograms, and Yi Jianlian weighs 113 kilograms. Yi Jianlian relied on the offensive rebounding smell developed to his extreme talent by Sakuragi to bully Bosh.

In terms of strength, Yi Jianlian is definitely not as good as Bosh, far behind. Even if Bosh has degenerated seriously, he can still average 20+ points per game if he plays as a core player, but as a role player, Yi Jianlian is more suitable than Bosh.

The offensive confrontation between the two teams started again. The main advantage of the Grizzlies was not Nash's strongest pass in the game, nor Sun Ce's strong impact, but rebounds!

Relying on the pressure of the beast, Sun Ce became a bully in the interior!

And in the second half, he didn't consider passing. When he received the ball, he either played alone or ate the cake. If he didn't have the ball, he would try to rush for rebounds, so that Nash could play more freely. Isn't this the style of play of Stoudemire in his early years?

On the outside, Neil, Klay Thompson and Paul George rotated in pairs. On the inside, Yi Jianlian, Randolph and Jordan rotated, and Sun Ce and Nash were the core, suppressing the Heat on the field.

However, the few people playing did not feel so relaxed.

On the contrary, the pressure was huge!

In the third quarter, James and Wade played the entire quarter. Wade maintained the Heat's basic offense, but he really couldn't stand the running and gunning team led by Nash, who he saw as an old monster. Wade was also depressed. Kobe, Nash, Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki... could maintain their peak for a long time after the age of 30, but his body couldn't hold up at the age of 30. He was constantly injured and his physical fitness declined. Nash, at the age of 38, was still at the All-Star level, and Nash's first MVP was at the age of 31. It's frustrating to compare yourself with others.

Wade could only look to McGrady, his teammate, for comfort...

The Grizzlies maintained their advantage on the field, but whenever they were about to widen the gap, James would attack them fiercely, desperately. Once, he was sandwiched by Sun Ce and Jordan and fell to the ground, but he patted his butt and climbed up to continue fighting, as if nothing had happened. It was just that his free throws were not so accurate, which made Sun Ce want to hack the shark, but it was not possible tonight. There were only 8 people in the team who could play run-and-gun, excluding Sun Ce and Nash. The other six rotated in three positions. Under such intensity, if they really fell into a foul crisis, it would be terrible.

Sun Ce was almost driven crazy by James, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

Nash's mentality was very stable, and he played very happily. At this age, when he is the core and plays run-and-gun with such a pair of teammates, what else does he need? Of course, he has to perform well.

However, the run-and-gun phase lasted longer than the Grizzlies had planned. It was not until 3 minutes and 22 seconds into the fourth quarter that the score difference was widened to 6 points, leading the Heat 101 to 95, and the Heat called a timeout!

At the end of the three quarters, the score between the two teams was 92-92, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies played a wave of 9 to 3, and the Heat's run-and-gun feel was finally broken!

But the Heat responded in time and called a timeout just after the score difference exceeded 5 points.

The main reason was that the Heat did not make any shots from the outside during this period. Wade's long two-pointer and McGrady's three-pointer did not go in. They ran too tired.

Especially Wade, who had the least playing time among the Big Three this season, averaging 32 minutes per game.

Because the outside shots could not be made, James played a 2+1 at the beginning of the fourth quarter and made a free throw to help the Heat get three points. The Heat did not score a single point in the remaining nearly three minutes, and the Grizzlies retreated, gambling like their lives, and they were right.

James felt that if he made the free throw, it would not be good!

So far, James has made 17 of 28 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 13 free throws, and scored 44 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.

Looking at this 6-point difference, James' head is big, it's too difficult to play!

Score 10+ points in three consecutive quarters, which is going to be 50+, but they are still behind.

But on the other side, the Grizzlies are not feeling well either. Nash lay down this time and basically couldn't stand up. Once he rested, the feeling of tension in his back immediately filled his whole body. When he had to rest, Nash had played for 28 minutes today, and he played for a long time in a row. Unlike last season, he could not share the responsibility of organizing the offense with Carter. He was really tired.

But Nash also performed very well, scoring 11 points and 12 assists in 28 minutes, and his performance was extremely outstanding.

Seeing that the opponent was about to fall behind in the run-and-gun, and the opponent had no heavyweight inside player to perfectly suppress the rhythm, he could only rely on full-court pressure defense to slow down. As long as Nash could play, he could widen the score difference in one wave.

But now, there is no run-and-gun to play! Nash played so well in the run-and-gun today, especially from the second half of the second quarter until the first three and a half minutes of the fourth quarter, with Sun Ce, who was under pressure, Nash played as well as he could.

Sun Ce certainly can't complete the offensive support like Nash, and Yi Jianlian and Jordan can't play the role that Sun Ce played in the run-and-gun tonight.

If Nash can play for three or five minutes, even if it's until the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies will be stable, but now there is no choice but to grind defense!

Sun Ce looked at his own data, 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block in the third quarter, and 3 points, 2 rebounds, 43 points, 19 rebounds, and 6 assists in the fourth quarter!

James 44+6+9, he Sun 43+19+6, relying on Mr. Nash to lead the offense, Sun Ce has only one assist in the second half so far, but he has done better in scoring and rebounding, especially scoring, 7 offensive rebounds tonight, and Nash fed Sun Ce many times, Sun Ce is about to eat too much.

Bosh only got 1 rebound in the third quarter, Bosh's one rebound is well-deserved... But Bosh played for 30 minutes and scored 22 points, which is really amazing.

Sun Ce thinks that if we don't consider rebounds and only look at offense, it's better to say that Bosh's style of play has changed successfully than to say that he has degenerated. After all, he is the third scorer of the Heat, and it's good to have an average of 17.5 points per game.

There are 8 minutes and 38 seconds left, leading by 6 points, looking at James on the opposite side who is grinning and listening to Pat Riley's nagging behind the bench, it's not easy!

But now, we can only fight!

...

On the Grizzlies side, Neil, Tony Allen, Sun Ce, Battier, and Gasol Jr. are on the court.

Randolph can't move anymore. He actually consumes a lot of energy in running and gunning. He played for 27 minutes and got 22 points and 6 rebounds. It's time to rest.

Paul George and Klay Thompson are also exhausted. The two emperors can't be relied on to grind defense. In the 12-man roster, except Aaron Gray, 6 of the 11 players who have played are exhausted.

After all, they are not players under D'Antoni, and they are not used to such continuous running and gunning. Usually, they only run and gun for 17 or 18 minutes in a game, at most in the first half, and they have made adjustments, but today they have been running and gunning since the second half of the second quarter.

In addition, the Heat can keep up with the speed, which gives them a greater physical foundation.

The five players on the Grizzlies are now the last of their own. Randolph and Paul George may be able to play after a break, but they can't be counted on for the time being.

The Heat are not much different, with Norris Cole, Mike Miller, James, Bosh, and Eddy Curry on the court.

"Eddy Curry, 29 years old, 213 cm tall, 138 kg, ability rating D, offense C, defense F..."

Sun Ce looked at the big guy on the opposite side who was fatter than Gasol at his fattest and quickly looked at his ability rating. He felt that the opponent had no tricks, so he replaced him with a meat wall to block the position.

The importance of defensive rebounds in positional battles is even more obvious.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies immediately started pure defense mode. This lineup was in a half-crippled state on the offensive end. Only Gasol could assist. If Sun Ce had a chance to go to the low post, he would go to the low post. If not, Sun Ce, Neil or Gasol would shoot from mid-range or long-range. Battier basically had no shooting opportunities.

The Heat also started the defensive mode, and they just played James on the offensive end.

Sometimes, special players also have their role. Apart from other things, they are really good at blocking positions!

Bosh grabbed the second rebound not long after playing after the timeout.

However, James had no hope for Bosh tonight. The Grizzlies missed several shots, and James went to grab the defensive rebounds himself. Bosh just got happy, and this time it was his teammates who bullied him...

Fortunately, the Grizzlies also defended the defensive rebounds very well. Eddy Curry was just a decoration on the offensive end. Except for the close-range jump shot from the baseline, he was almost useless. Gasol went to help defend James, and Eddy Curry might not have the awareness to cut in to receive the ball.

But James is really strong! At 8:06 in the fourth quarter, James scored two goals in a row, a three-pointer and a layup, helping the Heat to tie the score at 105-105!

Fortunately, Sun Ce got the feeling and made two hook shots from the baseline, which widened the gap to 4 points, leading 109-105. The Heat's offense was interrupted. After missing two consecutive shots, they took advantage of Sun Ce's third hook shot to call a timeout.

…

During the timeout, Coach Hollins replaced Neil with Randolph, emphasizing the details of defense. Tony Allen, Battier, and Gasol played very little today, so they had no problem with their physical strength.

Looking at James who continued to play, Sun Ce took a deep breath. There were 2 minutes and 26 seconds left. The final moment had arrived, and this guy, this guy, had 50 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists!

He had 47 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks. Since the first quarter, they tied the score by running and gunning. Since the second quarter, they had 7 times to widen the gap to 4 to 7 points, but James was able to catch up with the Heat every time.

Seeing the opponent replace Chalmers and Wade, Sun Ce knew that the opponent would also fight. James and Bosh also played, and McGrady was also replaced.

McGrady signed with the right team this time. He has played 10 games so far, playing 17 minutes per game, averaging 8.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Although his shooting percentage was only 40%, he averaged 1.2 three-pointers in 2.6 shots per game, with a hit rate of 45%!

Partnering with James, the pitcher is the happiest.

In the last two minutes, both teams had a good success rate. James, who had rested for half a quarter, broke through with Wade's pick-and-roll and caused Sun Ce to foul and scored. Although he missed the free throw, in the next round, Wade broke through and passed the ball to McGrady, who received the ball and made a three-pointer.

McGrady made 4 three-pointers tonight. The Grizzlies really underestimated McGrady's catch-and-shoot. In the next round, the Grizzlies focused on McGrady's three-pointers, but they overcorrected. James passed the ball to Bosh who cut in, and Bosh scored two points with a slam dunk!

In two minutes, the Heat scored 7 points!

Fortunately, Randolph, who had rested for half a quarter, scored a single shot on the Grizzlies side. Gasol received Sun Ce's pass from Randolph and made a mid-range shot, maintaining a 1-point lead.

But in the next round of offense, Tony Allen didn't seize the opportunity to receive the ball in an open position, and missed the throw, and Bosh got the third rebound of the game!

The Grizzlies quickly counterattacked. Randolph blocked McGrady's three-pointer, Battier blocked Chalmers' three-pointer, and Gasol couldn't defend back, but at least he blocked Bosh and entangled Bosh to prevent him from getting off the basket. Sun Ce and Tony Allen returned to the basket and didn't expand. They accepted that James and Wade could make shots.

However, James is also a magical player. He received a long pass from Wade outside the three-point line, but didn't continue to break through. He patted the ball, stepped back, took a big step, and retreated to a position half a step away from the top arc, and shot a three-pointer...

It really went in!

115 to 113, 8 seconds left in the game, the Heat overtook by two points!

The Grizzlies took a short timeout for the last 20 seconds!

Two points or three points?

The Grizzlies were very entangled, but they had to make a decision. They wanted two points more this time. After James made a three-pointer, he sat down on the ground with his head buried and hugged his knees. He played 48 minutes and got 55 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists!

However, with such a performance, even James had no strength to break through. The ball just now obviously had a higher success rate. Fortunately, the bet on the three-pointer was right.

Fortunately, in order to let James slow down and participate in defense, the Grizzlies' 20-second short timeout was just enough for substitutions. Before the tactics were arranged, the Heat called their last 20-second short timeout.

Nash, who had received a massage for more than half a quarter on the sidelines, climbed up. His back was much more relaxed. It would be good to go up and contain him. Klay Thompson and Paul George were all on the court, and Sun Ce and Randolph also went on.

The tactics arranged, after the ball was sent out, the first goal was to give it to Randolph or Sun Ce who entered the basket, and the second was to give it to the two shooters. At the same time, Randolph and Sun Ce had to work hard to grab offensive rebounds. The last choice was Nash's single shot.

...

The timeout ended soon. Sun Ce's physical strength was okay now. After all, it was the star experience card of Beast Beast, with good physical strength, and it was used in the second quarter.

But the pressure was huge!

The Heat's Big Three actually scored a 10-4 in the last two minutes!

Still facing their defense!

Sun Ce really feels that the Heat may be the strongest team this season. There are many things about the Big Three that are worthy of contempt, but the strength cannot be despised, especially in the 11-12 and 12-13 seasons. The championship is the championship. If they are not strong, what are the teams that lost to them? Even if the Heat won the championship in the 12-13 season by Leonard's missed free throws and Ray Allen's fatal three-pointer, the other three games were still won in a real way, especially in the 11-12 season, the young Thunder's three youngsters were completely defeated by the Heat.

An April Fool's Day game actually came to this point, and Sun Ce could only grit his teeth!

On the Heat side, Norris Cole, Wade, James Jones, James, and Bosh were on the lineup, which was their best defensive combination.

The Grizzlies served the ball in the frontcourt. Sun Ce stood on the same side as Randolph and wanted to pass it directly to Randolph. However, Bosh tried his best to go around the front. He could lob the ball, but there was a possibility of error!

Sun Ce chose to pass the ball to Nash who ran out of the pick-and-roll, but as soon as Nash received the ball, Wade defended him in a close-range manner. James Jones and Norris Cole did a good job of defending Klay Thompson. Sun Ce cut inside after serving the ball, and James also went around the front.

Seeing that 4 seconds had passed in a flash, Sun Ce had no choice but to change direction and accelerate suddenly, getting rid of James who was doing the go-around and running towards the outside. Sun Ce ran out, and James was unable to catch up in the first time. When Sun Ce ran out, Nash quickly passed the ball to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce received the ball at the top of the arc, and there were only two seconds left!

There was no time to break through. At this time, James also pounced. Sun Ce could only force himself up and shoot a three-pointer...

As soon as the ball was thrown, Sun Ce felt that he was powerful, and the beast was pressing down on him. This hand would not obey the ball when he touched it...

The ball left Sun Ce's hand and flew out. James rushed forward without stopping his feet and knocked Sun Ce down. When Sun Ce was knocked down, the long whistle for the end of the game had already sounded. Sun Ce covered his face with his hands when he fell. In an instant, countless years popped up in his mind, and the one that made him saddest the most was——

Who would have thought that James would kill him with a three-pointer?

He didn’t have the chance to play against the top Kobe, he didn’t have the chance to play against the top Wade, he didn’t have the chance to play against the top McGrady, Iverson, Nash, Arenas, etc., but he could meet the top. James is considered a great blessing in his career...

Just when Sun Ce came up with countless thoughts in an instant and was thrown to the ground by James, deafening cheers rang out from the scene!

Sun Ce was almost angry to death: I was knocked down by this orc and even killed. Why are you cheering so hard? At this time, he is also betraying...wait a minute! wrong! It’s not the 09-10 season, so fans can’t defect!

Sun Ce opened his eyes and saw that Randolph rushed out and lifted James off who had just climbed up. Other teammates also gathered around him excitedly. Regardless of his shouting "crush", a group of people lifted him up and threw him into the air!

Sun Ce, who was calling for a kill in the air, looked at the picture of him throwing the last ball on the big screen. The force was a little stronger, but the direction was very right. He hit the backboard and bounced into the frame!

A three-pointer at the buzzer!
