One Thousand Four Hundred and Nine. The So-Called Conspiracy Cannot Be Stopped

Heat coach Spoelstra roughly guessed what the Grizzlies wanted to do. In the second quarter, James rushed, but there was not much chance to widen the score difference, so he did not fight the Grizzlies to death in the second quarter to avoid being consumed by the opponent.

Wait until the third quarter, and then fight to the death!

Just as Spoelstra expected, the opponent did not hide his thoughts, and clearly exposed his strategy in the second quarter. In the third quarter, the Grizzlies had to fight for the third quarter!

Biting the score and fighting for the crucial third quarter, this is a very confident play, but Spoelstra was also confident when he saw James receiving the ball in the frontcourt.

James, who received the ball, faced Jimmy Butler's defense of leaving one step open, and did not force a shot. He would only shoot a three-pointer when he had no choice and in an absolutely wide open position. As for the 45% three-pointer hit rate in the Eastern Conference Finals, it was really luck. He had practiced three-pointers well, but he did not reach the level of averaging 2+ three-pointers and a hit rate of 45%.

This was far from Jimmy Butler being able to rush back in time, James did not take any risks.

If he breaks through, Jimmy Butler can block him, giving Randolph a chance to get stuck in position, and then he will be trapped in a double team.

James can't handle such a situation, as he has proved last season and the season before last. It is not something that his footwork and three-pointer improvement can deal with, because he doesn't have a mid-range shot.

But he has Nene!

Nene came up to help James block Jimmy Butler. At the same time, Chalmers began to find a connection space between himself and James outside the three-point line. Although Chalmers could hardly find a chance under Sun Ce's defense, although he might not have a chance if he worked hard, he would have no chance if he didn't work hard.

Wade and Bosh also started running. James and Nene grasped the timing of the pick-and-roll very well. James broke through to the inside and attracted the defense. He hung on the left side of the three-second zone. After the pick-and-roll, Nene cut in and made a shot in the crowded space with a soft touch while Jimmy Butler was sticking to him!

Very beautiful pick-and-roll cooperation, Bosh and Wade also played their own role in containment.

In the transition of offense and defense, the Grizzlies still let Randolph play one-on-one. Just as the Heat coach Spoelstra thought, Sun Ce just wanted to compete with strength and performance, it was so simple and crude!

When Randolph received the ball and wanted to play one-on-one in the low post, Sun Ce cut in from the high post with the help of Larry Sanders' pick-and-roll. Larry Sanders' pick-and-roll was purely a defense. Sun Ce who cut in was chased by Bosh and James.

At this time, Randolph took advantage of Nene's desire to move in advance, turned around flexibly and stepped back to get space, and James hurried to make up for the defense.

Being sandwiched by James and Nene,

Randolph quickly pushed the ball out before the opponent surrounded him, which was also bold. He passed the ball from James and Nene to Sun Ce who entered the basket.

Sun Ce received the ball, and Randolph actually passed it to him. He made a fake shot, and James, who made up for it again, suffered from his arm span. He flew at a touch, and the king dunk was triggered! Sun Ce slapped the ball, and when Bosh rushed over, he jumped up with all his strength, and took advantage of Bosh to block James who wanted to press forward again after landing, and smashed the ball into the basket through Bosh!

Facing Bosh, who was not much different in weight, Sun Ce was extremely powerful!

Bosh used all his strength, but still couldn't stop him! He was dunked!

This ball boosted morale!

Sun Ce was originally preparing to rush for the offensive rebound. When James was likely to make up for Randolph's step-back, it would be too easy for him to grab the rebound against Bosh.

But Randolph actually passed it over.

The Heat team really didn't expect that Sun Ce would stop in the three-second zone after shaking off James and moving outside the right three-second zone. Bosh had no problem blocking him and avoiding Sun Ce's emergency stop hook, but what they didn't expect was that Sun Ce directly stepped on the right sideline of the three-second zone and jumped up, knocking back Bosh who was blocking him and smashing the ball into the basket through Bosh!

54 to 55, the score difference was still one point!

The two strongest players of the Grizzlies, Randolph and Sun Ce, began to exert their strength!

This time it was James' turn to feel the pressure. During the halftime break, the head coach of the Heat had analyzed the strategy of the Grizzlies.

This is an open conspiracy. First, rely on other players to fight, grind the rhythm to suppress the positional battle, change the rhythm to score, and bite the score. Spoelstra predicted that the Grizzlies might fight for stars in the second half.

Sure enough, the opponent really started to fight for stars at the beginning of the third quarter!

They Heat had to fight!

This is Sun Ce + Randolph! The super duo who averaged 50+20+10 per game in the Western Conference Finals!

The Heat dared not let the role players play more, and could only fight with the stars. It was time to fight for the stars. Ray Allen was exhausted by Klay Thompson's pursuit and confrontation in the first half, not to mention other role players.

James received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and found that the opponent's defense had changed!

Sun Ce went to defend Bosh, while Larry Sanders defended Chalmers' shot. James could see that the opponent wanted to shrink.

The Grizzlies were clearly ready to leave Chalmers open, but James really didn't dare to pass the ball to Chalmers. This teammate was made 0-for-3 by Sun Ce and Tony Allen in the first half.

James continued to break through the pick-and-roll with Nene. Larry Sanders switched defense and stuck to James. James had the opportunity to step to the right and shoot, but that was Sun Ce's skill. James had the ability to step back and shoot outside the three-point line, but Jimmy Butler could completely go around to block the three-pointer. Nene cut in. When the opponent defended 3-2, Randolph could block it.

James could only force his way to the basket without turning around to create space. Wade and Bosh were guarded by Klay Thompson and Sun Ce. James forced a shot under the double team of Randolph and Larry Sanders... but missed!

Randolph got the defensive rebound!

The pressure on the Heat team increased suddenly!

Fortunately, Randolph's step-back mid-range shot from the left baseline also didn't go in. This time James didn't double team, but blocked Sun Ce to prevent Bosh from being bullied and got the defensive rebound.

It was the time for the Heat to attack again, and they were dragged into the battle for stars by the Grizzlies' conspiracy. James felt a lot of pressure. When he pushed forward, he couldn't help but glance at the opposite coach. They all started to have receding hairlines in their 20s. Why did the bald man make things difficult for the bald man?

However, James saw this plan in the second quarter and couldn't respond in the second quarter.

How else can he respond? They can choose to go all out in the second quarter, but the opponent sends out a defensive lineup at the beginning. If they fight with all their strength, James will not get any rest time in that half quarter. The opponent's role players, especially the three role players on the forward and guard line, make James extremely envious!
