In the stands at the Federal Express Arena, Grizzlies fans covered their heads with their hands in annoyance, their eyes full of disbelief.

After the All-Star Game, they have never been forced into such a mess by any opponent. Even in the loss, the Grizzlies made it very difficult for the opponent to win.

Grizzlies fans have not experienced such a thing as 8 points behind in a single quarter and being shot without any power to fight back.

The same is true for Grizzlies players. Even when they played back-to-back away half a month ago, they didn't feel that the game would be so powerless.

On the defensive end, they could only watch James hit the basket efficiently, otherwise they would have to wait for the shot to explode.

On the offensive end, Link struggled hard in the crowd again and again, and the Heat's shrinking defense was as punctual as an alarm clock. As long as Link stepped into the penalty area, a group of big men wearing black jerseys would rush in and stop Link in the most vicious way.

"The two sides played very fiercely, and it can be seen that they did not intend to save energy before the playoffs. In other words, this game is part of the playoffs for both sides. We don't know how Coach Dave Joggel will adjust. I only know that if the Grizzlies fail to win 72 today, both Memphis players and fans will be extremely disappointed."

Hubby Brown frowned and stared at the Grizzlies' bench.

Dave Jogel was sitting on the small bench and shouting excitedly, looking forward to get the game back on track.

"In the second quarter, Zach returned to the starting lineup. Seize the opportunity and we attacked the Heat inside!"

Everyone was surprised when Jogel said the first sentence.

Randolph's starter in the second quarter? Wasn't that suicide?

The Heat scored 32 points in the first quarter, which was considered to have penetrated the entire defense line that the Grizzlies are proud of. Under such circumstances, Randolph, who has little help to the defense in the second quarter?

The players were a little suspicious, and even Randolph himself felt a little suspicious. When the Heat played in a small lineup of one, one and four, he often couldn't get involved. But today, when the team was in a passive position, the head coach was the first to think of him.

"I know, we were shot by the Heat's three-pointer in the first quarter! Now the Heat's three-pointer feels so hot that it can fry eggs with bare hands. Even if we set up defenses, we may not be able to stop them from scoring! So in the second quarter, I need you to completely open up the situation on the offensive end! Especially in the inside, the inside is the weakest part of the Miami Heat!"

While explaining, Jogel wrote and painted on the tactical board. If the Grizzlies want to win, just let Link go! If you want to let Link go today, you must break the Heat's strict and rapid contraction. The best way to break the contraction is to find a threatening second offensive point so that they dare not shrink!

In the second half of the first quarter, after Jogel's adjustment, the Grizzlies' defense outside the three-point line was actually very good. But even so, the Heat can still hit three-pointers in the defense. Sometimes the three-pointers feel is shot, and it is really impossible to curb them by relying on conventional methods alone.

Since the defense is no longer reliable, then rely on offense. Then use violence to defeat violence, and it depends on who scores more points! If you get 32 ​​points in a single quarter, then I will get 35 points.

Jogel needed the Grizzlies to make a strong attack in the second quarter, and only in this way can the Heat's momentum be suppressed. Otherwise, the entire game today would fall into the Heat's rhythm.

So, Jogel plans to replace Randolph's low-post killer and attack the Heat's inside!

At the beginning, Joggel was surrounded by a circle. Isn’t he the Heat playing first, first, first, fourth, and first-team together with the Heat, which is equivalent to giving up the Grizzlies’ biggest inside advantage?

Although Randolph and James struggled to play against each other, at least Randolph could get back the lost points at the low post. When playing in a small lineup with the Heat, once the Heat exploded from the three-point line and fought against Link on the defensive end, the Grizzlies instantly caught it blindly.

If Randolph can defeat the Heat's low post, it will be Link's chance! Now Link needs a helper, then Joggle will give Link's helper!

After listening to Jogel's arrangement, Randolph nodded solemnly. This fat man who is not very serious on weekdays is very reliable at critical moments.

At this time, the short inter-chair break ends and the second quarter starts.

On the other end of the stadium, James led the Heat players to yell, with a magnificent momentum, as if he was about to win the Grizzlies in the first half.

Link looked at the other fierce Heat player and patted Randolph on the shoulder, "I said everything, you have to deal with LeBron in this game."

"Hehe, leave it to Link, I will definitely be involved in defense for you." Randolph's expression immediately became vicious after he said.

If this is on the streets of Memphis, when you meet a fat man with a fierce expression, the most correct reaction should be to turn around and run away.

"Starting the second quarter, the Grizzlies actually let Randolph return to the starting lineup!?" Hubby Brown was a little surprised. In the stands, the fans didn't understand what this was.

In the first quarter, Link, who prevented George from hitting less than 30%, did not completely defend James. Now let Randolph defend? What a bullshit operation!

Randolph did not think he was at a disadvantage. He did not need to curb James. He only needed to help Link open a pass. Then, Link would naturally make the Heat pay the price.

The game started again, and the Grizzlies attacked first. Now the defensive Link became Wade, because James had to fight with the "Big Black Bears" in the interior.

Wade was still a little nervous. With his current physical condition, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with Link's double change. But after the Grizzlies came up, they directly hung the ball to the inside!

Just as the Heat were determined to take action outside the three-point line, the Grizzlies were also determined to open up the situation inside!

Randolph received the basketball steadily. He was 2.06 meters tall and was not tall in the fourth position, but he was still one number one bigger than James.

James held Randolph's waist and he was very nervous!

Maybe the fans and commentators can't see what the Grizzlies want to do, but James knows that the Heat's weak inside line is now completely exposed to the Grizzlies' firepower!

In the previous few games, the Heat finally forced the Grizzlies to play in a small lineup. But today, the Grizzlies seemed to wake up and wanted to seize the Heat's weakest attack.

Whether the Heat's inside line will collapse all depends on whether James can curb Randolph!

Randolph hopes that the Grizzlies will get better. He wants to win 72 wins ** in fact, it is actually stronger than Link. He loves this team, so when this team needs him, he will never let down his expectations!

Randolph began to lift his fat buttocks and sit back. Randolph, who has a tonnage advantage, made it very difficult for James, the "devil muscle man". His fat body is not something that can keep the cold.

Halfway reached the forefront, Randolph suddenly turned over and jumped into the game!

Don't forget that Randolph is not a fat man who can only win by brute force. Don't be deceived by his body shape. The "Tennesse O'Neal" technique is definitely top-notch in the number four position.

James didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity, so he blocked it one step slower. Randolph was able to take a calm move and hit the ball in the air!

At the beginning, Randolph successfully scored at the low post! Link happily rang Randolph. No matter when, this guy was the most trustworthy helper!

"Z-bo scored a goal at the beginning of the second quarter, and LeBron was a little tired of dealing with it. But we all know that the Grizzlies' problem in the first quarter was defense. How should Randolph deal with James' offense?"

After Randolph scored, the crisis still did not resolve. The Heat were still 6 points ahead, and no one knew whether their three-point touch had cooled down.

The Heat's first attack in the second quarter, and the basketball really hit James! James's play against Randolph, which was a very advantageous misalignment.

Randolph opened his arms like a flesh wall standing in front of James.

James now only needs to score another 2 points to achieve a great achievement of breaking through 2,000 in a single season for nine consecutive seasons.

He did not hesitate, he planned to use his speed to overcome Randolph! His career milestone was achieved in this round!

Randolph moved horizontally in time to block James. Although he did not force James to stop directly, the collision with such a piece of "pork belly" still greatly slowed down James' speed.

No matter how strong James is, he cannot ignore Newton's laws.

James continued to rush towards the basket, and Gasol was pulled away by Bosh, and James was bound to win!

But just as James was about to attack the box, Link came out and crossed between James and the basket.

James is now surrounded by Randolph and attacked by Link in front. The "Little Emperor" immediately responded and handed the ball to Wade, who was leaked by Link!

He won't take risks for 2,000 points, and team victory must be ahead of personal data today!

Wade took action outside the three-point line, but unfortunately, this time the Heat's three-pointers did not work. Wade is currently the only player in the Heat who has no record of three-point shooting. Although the Heat made 6 of 7 three-pointers in the first quarter, those have nothing to do with Wade.

Wade averaged only 28.1% of three-point shooting percentage this season, and only averaged 0.6 three-point shooting per game. The number of three-point shooting is the lowest in the past nine seasons. This season, Wade is very low in both three-point accuracy and three-point shooting.

Link deliberately defended Wade, so he could double-team James unscrupulously. Let Wade shoot three-pointers? This is really not a problem.

Wade failed to hit a three-pointer, Randolph grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies won two consecutive rounds!

"A beautiful defense, although Wade was missed, his performance outside the three-point line is indeed not outstanding. Three-pointers are an old problem for Wade. His last three-point shooting percentage averaged 30% was still three years ago."

While Hubby Brown was speaking, Conley had already received a pass from Randolph. But the Grizzlies did not attack quickly, but began to fight a slow-paced positional battle.

This time, Link held the ball outside the three-point line and called Gasol to cover it. It seemed that Link wanted to regain control of the offense.

"Do you want to score when you're so anxious?" James said to himself. He didn't think Link could get the chance after Randolph scored just one goal.

Sure enough, after breaking through, Link was still attacked by Heat players. The Heat's defense today was like a big net, locking Link in the net.

Link was not afraid of a bunch of opponents wearing black jerseys around him, and after rushing in, he still chose to jump.

Bosh, James and Wade also jumped up. Once again, the three Heat giants set up a net for Link in the air.

But Link jumped not to attack the frame, but to pass the ball behind him!

"What!?"

James' eyes moved with the basketball, and finally saw Randolph receiving the basketball under the basket!

Because James attacked Link, Randolph easily cut in!

After the Big Three landed, Randolph had already jumped on the spot and completed a dunk with both hands after receiving the basketball.

His heavy body pulled the basket down a bit, full of strength!

"With a beautiful pass, Randolph's performance in the low post was also quite good. He just scored successfully with a technical jump shot, and now he ravaged the basket in an extremely simple and crude way. This is Zach Randolph, a number four scorer who is always underestimated!"

The atmosphere of the Federal Express Arena became hot again, and Randolph's dunk ignited everyone's confidence.

Afterwards, Link and Randolph doubled James in the same way, and James also passed the ball to Wade outside the three-point line. His plan to break through 2,000 points had to be delayed again.

Wade did not disappoint his teammates this time. He threw the ball outside the three-point line and the Heat scored another three-pointer! But overall, the Grizzlies still recovered one point 4-3 on the offensive end!

Vogel believes that Randolph's efficiency at the basket cannot be lower than Wade's efficiency outside the three-point line! The attacker doesn't care whether others can score points, but wants to find ways to get more points than the opponent.

If this situation continues, the score will sooner or later be equalized as time goes by. Then it will be the time when Link takes over the game!

After Wade scored, the Grizzlies players were not upset. They all knew that they still recovered 1 point. As long as they continued to keep up, it was only a matter of time before they equalized the score.

Their strategy worked!

Randolph ran to the frontcourt excitedly again, but James was a little tired of fighting with Randolph on the defensive end. He didn't want to spend too much energy on the defensive end.

After the storm, there will always be rainbows. And Randolph will transform into the most dazzling color of the Federal Express Arena today.
Chapter completed!
