One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty-Eight. The Beginning of the Heat's Collapse

Fortunately, Klay and Paul George were aware enough to turn those two balls into points!

After a moment of fear, Sun Ce looked at the score on the big screen.

In the past 69 seconds, they played a 5-2 wave, widening the 7-point gap to 10 points!

Nash didn't waste the gap that Paul George and Klay Thompson threatened to widen!

Anyway, they were all replaced, and Sun Ce immediately got rid of the fear and had an expression of "I'm awesome".

No matter whether it was thrilling or not, in just over a minute, he helped the team to widen the gap!

When the teammates heard the tactical arrangement, they saw Sun Ce's expression of "I'm the second and the first in the world, I'm dead", and they didn't find it strange at all.

This is the normal little bully!

Before the timeout, not only Sun Ce's heart was trembling, but his teammates' hearts were also trembling.

But now, two of the three counterattacks were scored, playing a 5-2 wave, leading by 10 points... What's there to be afraid of!

Leading by 10 points, we must try to maintain the score difference next!

In the situation just now, one thought could lead to heaven or hell, either the top five shots or the top five embarrassing moments.

But they didn't have embarrassing moments, and now is the opportunity to establish an advantage!

The 3D player was pressed on the bench, and Nash and Yi Jianlian were replaced before they even had a chance to sit down, but it doesn't matter, the double 3D is still there, Nash and Yi Jianlian plus the double 3D, with Larry Sanders who can protect the frame and attack rebounds, it's a sure thing!

...

In theory, if there were no Sun Ce's two passes that exceeded the Heat's defense expectations, even if there was no mistake, the Grizzlies' lineup just now maintained a hit rate of just over 40%, and when Randolph hadn't exerted his strength, the Grizzlies could probably score 1 out of 3 goals, and the Heat could score at least one of the two simple goals, and the Heat could also maintain a 5-point difference.

And if the Heat defended well, defended all three rounds, and scored two goals, then the next step should be their chance to overtake the score.

But Sun Ce made those two passes, and two talented players, Klay Thompson and Paul George, turned Sun Ce's incomprehensible pass into a "sophisticated" pass, and then the pass turned into a score...

It took the Heat a while to recover from such a blow.

At this time, the running and gunning lineup led by Nash had scored a wave of 9 to 2!

Although the rhythm was not fast, it was still okay.

The Heat's main offense was hasty shooting, and the defense was still very good in the positional battle. This was learned from the Clippers. Rondo is indeed a talent, and he has set a good example for other teams to defend against the running and gunning of the elderly Nash.

Although Nash can only launch an offense from the positional battle, he has Yi Jianlian, double 3D, and Larry Sanders. He is talented, and talent means he can do whatever he wants. In the case of favorable winds, the offensive end is well protected, and the opponent can't make a shot.

The score difference was once widened to 17 points. Fortunately, James scored a goal at the last moment and pressed the defense to steal and counterattack three-pointer.

58 to 46, the Grizzlies led by 12 points into the halftime break.

Sun Ce sat on the bench obediently until halftime. Although the system prompted that the Heat made a mistake and the ball was dead with two minutes left, the "Imagination" was over.

But Sun Ce did not actively ask to play, and Paul George scored 5 of the last 9 points.

Sun Ce played for more than 13 minutes in the first half, and got 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. It was too easy!

In this situation, what kind of star experience card is needed!

Randolph did not play for a long time in the first half, and he could go all out in the third quarter!

Sun Ce felt that Paul George's outbreak came too timely. He played for more than 17 minutes in the first half, got 18 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. He must have used his teammates' containment and defensive cooperation. However, being able to grasp these advantages is a kind of strength in itself, otherwise Sun Ce would not have won the MVP in the past two seasons.

Sun Ce's model has been recognized... Of course, you have to be able to play like Sun Ce.

And the premise is to win!

…

After the halftime break, the Grizzlies continued with their established strategy. At the beginning of the third quarter, they sent out a combination of Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, Randolph, and Larry Sanders.

The main focus was on the singles of Randolph and Sun Ce!

Klay Thompson continued to play. In this series, besides Sun Ce, the Grizzlies played the most time and used Klay Thompson to death.

The main reason was that Klay Thompson's playing style actually consumed the least energy. On the offensive end, he only caught the ball and shot, and on the defensive end, he defended the opponent's pure shooter. He had no other tasks.

But because he played a lot of time, the Heat's defense paid the most attention to Klay Thompson for the three young stars, and the offense paid the most attention to how James could get rid of Jimmy Butler to avoid being restricted from speeding up from the outside and not having such a big lethality when breaking through.

Therefore, they unconsciously ignored Paul George, the best player of the Grizzlies in this finals besides Sun Ce and Randolph.

It is true that the Heat were stunned by Sun Ce's two passes in the second quarter, but this was based on the advantage that Paul George had gained by bursting out in the first half.

It is too late to regret now, and the Heat can only launch a fierce attack from the third quarter!

But Randolph has already started to exert his strength!

5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in half a quarter. Three of the three rebounds were offensive rebounds, one of which turned into a 2+1, one was passed to Sun Ce for a three-pointer, and one was too excited to turn around and stepped on the line...

After Sun Ce made a three-pointer, the Splash Brothers opened the pot, followed by another three-pointer by Klay Thompson, plus a two-man cooperation between Jimmy Butler and Larry Sanders in a counterattack.

It was about to be an official timeout. The Heat currently played a 15-13 wave, narrowing the gap to 10 points.

Jimmy Butler received a pass from Klay Thompson and missed a mid-range shot when others were being watched. James did not call a timeout after guarding the rebound, hoping to take the opportunity to narrow the gap to within 10 points.

But this time, James missed the pass!

Larry Sanders made a critical prediction and knocked away the three-point pass from James to Mike Miller in the bottom corner. Klay Thompson grabbed the ball and passed it to Sun Ce. After Sun Ce entered the free throw line in the counterattack, he raised the ball in a Curry-style and took three steps. He made a throw-in against Wade who was chasing him back... and it went in!

73 to 61, the Grizzlies still led by 12 points!

There were 5 minutes and 32 seconds left in the third quarter, and the Heat finally called a timeout!

Sun Ce + Randolph, a strong attack! In the crazy counterattack of the Heat, they kept the lead created in the first half!

Randolph, who played half a quarter, went off to rest, and Paul George, who played well tonight, came on the court with the cheers of the fans!
