One Thousand One Hundred and Seventeen. Extraordinary Concentration
The Heat felt under great pressure from being chased by Sun Ce, but Sun Ce, who helped the team catch up, was also under great pressure.
Those two three-pointers were really a gamble on a good touch, because the shooting rhythm was very bad, and the opponent consciously defended his jump shot after the pick-and-roll, so he had to do more actions, which disrupted his shooting rhythm.
Fortunately, the three-pointer against Wade triggered the "error" and found the rhythm. The second shot was really lucky, hitting the left side of the basket and bouncing in.
And it happened that Paul George was replaced for three fouls at 5 minutes and 58 seconds before the game, and Klay Thompson came on. The reduced touch caused by the confrontation in the first half was alleviated, and it was easier to find the shooting feeling with Sun Ce triggering the "splash momentum". Klay Thompson responded to Ray Allen with a three-pointer, otherwise he would have to enter the official timeout with a 5-point disadvantage.
Finally, we got through this stage, which lasted nearly 7 minutes. With 3 three-pointers in the first two minutes of the meal timeout, the Grizzlies and the Heat played a score of 17 to 17, and the total score was 68 to 70, two points behind, and the Heat did not play an advantage during this period!
During the official timeout, Nash, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez were replaced, and Coach Hollins replaced Jimmy Butler, Randolph, and Prince to partner with Sun Ce and Klay Thompson.
Although it seems that they are going to take the initiative, the Grizzlies dare not be careless. The Big Three of James, Webber, and Nene, who has strong athletic ability, shooting, and defense, and a shooter... Although Ray Allen is old, his strength is still B+ level. His offense is probably only three-pointers, but S-level three-pointers should not be underestimated, and he did a good job on the defensive end, rarely losing his position. It is not without reason that some fans regard Klay Thompson's template as the current Ray Allen.
As coach Hollins expected, the opponent rotated players in the first half, allowing Wade, Bosh, and Nene to rest for almost a quarter. These three players are likely to play the full game in the second half, while James has basically played the full game in the past two years. These four starters continued to play, and Ray Allen also continued to play.
…
After the official timeout, the situation of the game was not as smooth as planned. The Heat's lineup was really strong. Nene liberated James and Bosh, and the Heat were more aggressive on both offense and defense than before.
Fortunately, Randolph seemed to have found his way of playing when he was fat, and did three things well: defensive rebounding, positional battles, trying to score the ball under the basket, and working hard with Jimmy Butler to limit James.
Sun Ce did not deliberately double-team James, but chose to cut off the pass, allowing Jimmy Butler and Randolph to consume James's physical strength, and try his best to block Wade, who has a strong ability to cut in, and Bosh, who can shoot and cut in after returning to the power forward position.
But James is really amazing. The Grizzlies finally overtook by 1 point at the end of the third quarter, which was also the first time they took the lead in this game, but James immediately responded with a 2+1.
However, this also means that the Grizzlies have a chance to overtake the score and have hope of winning!
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies scored 29 to 28, mainly because of the 17 points in the first 6 minutes and 56 seconds, which allowed the Grizzlies to narrow the gap to 1 point in the third quarter.
80 to 81, there is a chance!
On the other side, the Heat players felt the same feeling as they did when they played against the Grizzlies last season, torture!
Of course, most players enjoy this evenly matched game,
but the feeling of torture still makes them feel very depressed.
Originally, they had all the advantages, but the opponent actually used the team's third shooting guard to defend James. Randolph, who was so fat, could use it well. Randolph, who played for 17 minutes, scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Sun Ce really used everything tonight.
There is also Sun Ce, who scored 33 points after three quarters, and 14 points in the third quarter. As for Sun Ce's scoring efficiency... it is very low. He scored 19 points with 7 of 21 shots in the first half, and played an excellent performance of 6 of 11 shots in the third quarter, but his overall shooting performance was extremely poor, 13 of 32 shots, and only 3 of 9 three-pointers.
But Sun Ce dared to shoot at any time, and the more he thought the ball could not be scored, the more he could score. This brought great psychological pressure to the Heat players. Some of them felt that they had done a good job in defense, but they had to do better because they didn't know when Sun Ce would score.
This guy is a complete gambler, and a gambler with great luck!
The intermission was about to end. James looked at the lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Prince, Battier, and Gasol on the opposite side. He knew that the opponent had tried his best tonight and used all tricks. All 13 players on the activation list played and tried everything.
However, the Heat team also tried their best and could only compete with the opponent.
Although the third quarter was not as unprepared as the second quarter by Randolph, the Grizzlies sent out a strange lineup in the second quarter, which wiped out the advantage they created in the first quarter... This was the biggest mistake of the Heat tonight!
Now they can only fight hard!
…
The tense game continued, and the Heat relied on James, Wade and Pogba to score and defend with all their strength.
The Grizzlies were really gambling, gambling on outside shooting and Sun Ce's ball-holding offense.
The good news for the Grizzlies is that most of the Heat's shooters have been exhausted. Chalmers, Norris Cole, James Jones, and Mike Miller all played in the fourth quarter, including Bosh's three-pointers, which were not good. Only Ray Allen and Lewis can guarantee a three-pointer, and James often chooses to shoot three-pointers when he feels good. In the first three quarters tonight, he only shot two three-pointers and was defended very tightly.
Ray Allen was okay. While maintaining the threat of three-pointers, he could keep up with Paul George or Klay Thompson, but Lewis was not. In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, the Heat scored two goals in a row to open the gap to 4 points, but then Sun Ce caught him and picked and rolled. He shot a three-pointer to Battier in the bottom corner and scored two goals himself. Although the Heat also scored one goal in these three rounds, the score was tied by the Grizzlies again.
In desperation, the Heat could only continue to grind the defense with the Grizzlies and score by relying on the strength of the stars.
In the eyes of the opponents, the Heat players, Sun Ce's ability to seize opportunities is simply amazing. It doesn't look like he played the first three quarters at all. It's like those superstars just finished the first half and entered the best state in the third quarter.
They can accept that Sun Ce is "stamina", but Sun Ce can still maintain this level of concentration in the fourth quarter. Every time he plays against the Heat players, they find it incredible!
