I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

One Thousand One Hundred and Fifteen. Brutal Steal!

After the timeout, the Grizzlies did not make any substitutions. On the Heat side, Wade, Ray Allen, James, Chris Anderson, and Nene played, trying to strengthen both offense and defense.

Seeing the opponent's defensive lineup, Sun Ce felt that the pressure of mid-range shooting had increased, but Randolph was quite threatening tonight, and there was still room for attack. The key was to defend well.

The Heat attacked and chose to serve the ball in the front court. Jimmy Butler started to defend in front!

Only a few games into the season, Beverly and Jimmy Butler have been nicknamed the Mad Dog Combination. Beverly is needless to say. Jimmy Butler followed Tony Allen to learn defense. In the past year or so, he has only learned how to use his physical fitness. His defensive skills are still average and he has almost no experience. But Jimmy Butler is very smart. He avoids these problems and learns from Bever to make up for many things with enthusiasm.

To avoid James not being able to receive the ball, there is still Wade anyway. Wade's presence can just give James a chance to rest on the court. Chris Anderson passed the ball to Wade.

Wade received the ball and was defended by Paul George. From Paul George's small steps, Wade knew that this guy was not easy to deal with. He would be troublesome in singles. Wade wanted to find Chris Anderson or James for pick-and-roll, but found that it was Sun Ce who was defending Chris Anderson!

Wade immediately asked Chris Anderson to go to the low post. Nene saw Chris Anderson and Sun Ce come to the low post to block the position and immediately pulled away to the left baseline to take Randolph away.

Sun Ce stood behind Chris Anderson and stuck to the opponent. He couldn't stop Chris Anderson from blocking the position. However, when Wade passed the ball to Chris Anderson, Sun Ce seized the opportunity and pushed forward with all his strength when Chris Anderson stood on his toes to receive the ball. With a weight of 97.5 kg and an A+ level explosive impact force, Chris Anderson was not careful and was pushed forward. The hand that received the ball unconsciously made a fist while maintaining balance, and just knocked the ball flying into his hand away!

Chris Anderson rushed forward to grab the ball, but just as he grabbed the ball with both hands, a figure faster than him rushed out from behind him, also pressing two hands on the ball that Chris Anderson just grabbed with both hands, and swung it vigorously, snatching the ball from Chris Anderson's hands!

Seeing Sun Ce's brutal steal, many fans jumped up excitedly!

Sun Ce did not stop after snatching the ball from Chris Anderson's hands, and immediately counterattacked!

Sun Ce rushed to the front court and saw that James, Wade, and Ray Allen retreated quickly. It was worthy of being a team that won 16 points in the first five games. However, Sun Ce did not slow down. Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson who cut in from both sides attracted the attention of Wade and James. Klay Thompson, who followed up from the middle to prepare for a three-pointer, pinned down Chris Anderson who was chasing back. Sun Ce rushed into the three-point line and grabbed the ball and made a pass to the left.

Wade immediately rushed towards Paul George, and James rushed towards Jimmy Butler to avoid the two of them passing the ball.

But Sun Ce, who grabbed the ball and shook his head left and right, did not stop. He took two steps, the first one stepped into the free throw line, and the second one stepped one step outside the reasonable collision zone!

At this time, Wade and James were guarding against Paul George and Jimmy Butler, two opponents with good physical fitness and their own shooting areas, and they could not pull back. Ray Allen originally rushed forward to interfere with Sun Ce's quick stop jump shot,

but when Sun Ce stepped in, Ray Allen could only retreat continuously. Seeing Sun Ce jumping up to meet him, Ray Allen couldn't hide even if he wanted to!

With the whimper of the basket, Sun Ce pressed his entire waist on Ray Allen's upper body and smashed the ball into the basket, stealing and counterattacking!

Steal awareness, decisive counterattack, fake moves to take advantage of the opponent's threat, one step from the three-point line and three steps to dunk the opponent's guard...

ESPN's commentator couldn't help but praise Sun Ce's successful offensive and defensive operations this time, which was really beautiful.

However, the commentator still failed to analyze one thing, which others did not notice, that is, the low-post defensive trick that Sun Ce learned from Kobe.

You can't see Sun Ce's trick in the replay. Only Chris Anderson, the person involved, knows that when he received the ball, his body was leaning forward. If he didn't make such a move and stand still to receive the ball, he might be intercepted by the player behind him, so he had to make such a protective move, which also gave the defender a chance to make a trick.

If it was a player with strong back-to-the-basket receiving ability, it wouldn't have much impact, but Chris Anderson didn't have the ability to attack independently. His offensive end was purely based on secondary offense and receiving the ball. It was really difficult for him to play in the low post.

Relying on Sun Ce's steal and counterattack dunk, the Grizzlies chased the score to 37 to 41, narrowing the gap to 4 points!

This defensive counterattack was successful, and the morale of the Grizzlies was greatly boosted!

The score difference was 4 points, and there were still more than two quarters. A score difference of more than 5 points was a hurdle, which could bring pressure to the lagging side, but 4 points could no longer form pressure. The Grizzlies had already gained confidence from the previous 12-8 successful defense, and now they played more confidently.

The Heat no longer played strange tricks. Wade regretted letting Chris Anderson play in the low post, which was too blind. He chose a normal play style, pick-and-roll with Nene, Chris Anderson cutting in, James maintaining the threat of cutting in, and Ray Allen running.

Paul George of the Grizzlies tried very hard to defend Wade, and Sun Ce helped to assist in defense. When James and Wade were on the court at the same time, and there were two towers with strong athletic ability and excellent pick-and-roll, the Heat's offense was not easy to defend, but the Grizzlies' targeted defense at least prevented the two from playing normally, which limited the opponent to a certain extent.

The Heat finally felt how terrible the Grizzlies' defense was!

It doesn't matter if it's terrible, the key is that the Grizzlies' defensive adaptability is too strong. Randolph played as a center, and no one on the Heat could resist him in the low post and under the basket, and Randolph could also keep up with Nene's pace.

However, the Heat did not get discouraged, and still insisted on playing normally to consume Randolph's poor physical fitness.

Although the Grizzlies relied on Randolph's 5 points in the basket in the first few minutes to contain Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler, they had the opportunity to find scoring opportunities in the middle and long distance, but the Heat still withstood the Grizzlies' counterattack.

But in contrast, the Grizzlies found a way to compete with the Heat!

At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies trailed the Heat by two points, 51 to 53, and entered the halftime break, successfully narrowing the gap to two points before the end of the half!
