Sun Ce has done a good job, learning the defensive strategy of Iguodala with Bogut and Leonard with Duncan against James.

In other words, it was Leonard + Duncan who showed first what is the best way to defend James, only the Warriors did well in the 14-15 season, and no other team can learn it.

Having a defensive strategy is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to have someone.

Sun Ce + Gasol Jr., when Sun Ce completes the confrontation between Leonard or Iguodala, Gasol Jr. creates a way to defend James Jr. without pinching, and Sun Ce has the ability to quickly change defenses, which can block Bosh.

But these two teams defend James, not James's scoring, this can't be limited, the Spurs and Warriors' defense has never limited James's scoring, the focus is on limiting James' passing, in the 14 Finals James shot as high as 57 percent, but was prevented with an average of only 4 assists per game, and then the Spurs beat the Heat with a better overall offense.

Although it can't prevent James from scoring, it can at least make it more difficult for James to score, Sun Ce did a good job, Gasol Jr. did a good job of defending James, but the cooperation of his outside teammates was not so good, because of the matter of filling loopholes, Sun Ce is usually doing it, and now Sun Ce is mainly defending James and changing the defense of Bosh, and others can't play the role of Sun Ce, otherwise Sun Ce will not be so critical to the Grizzlies.

The coaching staff found out about this, but they couldn't solve it right away, they had the conditions to solve the problem, the lineup was good enough, but it needed training, it needed actual combat running-in, and there was no way to let Paul George or Klay Thompson do this right away, Mr. Tony is not good at this, so at the moment it can only be hard steel.

And yes, James, who has explosive scoring ability and can occasionally pass the ball out, is terrible, but fortunately, Sun Ce's three offensive rebounds were converted into scores, allowing them to carry through this half of the quarter.

Although James still had 8 points and 1 assist in 6 and a half minutes under such defense, the Grizzlies relied on the 6 points scored by Sun Ce's offensive rebound, and they still led by a point in a little more than half a quarter.

Coach Hollins switched to a run-and-gun lineup, and Nash could continue to play.

Seeing Nash being replaced, Coach Hollins arranged a run bomb, and Sun Ce's sense of pressure brought by James's constant chasing was reduced a lot.

It's just about rebounding and defensive power, and now it's time to take advantage of Howard's super impact and add your own speed!

Unlike the previous two beasts, this time, he has the passer Nash! It's not just about defending and rushing to attack rebounds!

……

After the timeout, the Heat's lineup of Chalmers, Wade, James, Haslem and Bosh came on.

Sun Ce played with a combination of Nash, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr.

Looking at the 6 high-quality role player lineup of the Heat team with a salary of 24 million in 2010 when the Big Three only had a salary of a little more than 45 million, plus the 11-man rotation lineup of rookie Norris Kerr and Maddy, the base salary of Maddy is indeed excellent, except for the lack of reliable big centers, pitchers, cut-in players, and pick-and-roll players.

Now the Big Three with Chalmers and Haslem are basically the strongest combination of the Heat.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Nash received the serve in the front court and prepared to organize the offense.

Wade didn't press out to defend, which didn't work for Nash, who was thin and average in the confrontation, but had a good core.

When Nash saw outside the three-point line, he quickly observed the opponent's defense, and made a decision, instead of blocking and dismantling one of the two emperors, he looked for Sun Ce!

Sun Ce took James up to block Wade, Wade wanted to squeeze away, but he didn't squeeze it! At this time, Nash had already broken through with the blocking, James hurriedly switched defenses, and this is what Nash wanted!

James's co-defense ability is still top-notch, the top-level single defense plus the top-level co-defense gives him the defensive ability to impact the best defensive player, and let James change the defensive ball-handler, just like Sun Ce's defense of James in the first half of the quarter, which caused Sun Ce to have no chance to assist in defense, although the Grizzlies took the initiative to let Sun Ce defend against James just now, which led to limited co-defense, but Nash used this trick very well on James.

When Nash's side broke through to the middle distance to contain James, Sun Ce had already cut in from the left side of the top arc, Bosh hurriedly made up for it, Nash passed the ball to the left, and when Bosh went to help Wade make up for Sun Ce, he pulled to the left sideline and took a three-point shot......

Miss!

This time Bosh withstood Sun Ce! During the official timeout, James emphasized that he had to block people many times, and this time Bosh remembered! But...... Jordan Jr. flew past Bosh and pressed the bouncing ball into the basket with one hand......

Bosh is so tired, his small arms and legs, he can't block such a wide area like little Gasol!

The 32-year-old Haslem really didn't have the courage he had back then, otherwise he wouldn't have been robbed of the starting position by Joel Anthony, and his rebounding was the same rushing type, that is, the power forward style of play, which was cut into by Jordan Jr. at once.

Without James, a teammate who is heavier than 90 percent of the center, Bosh and Haslem really can't stand it!

Bosh hurriedly put away the jade, picked up the ball and sent it to James, who had already run out, and the Janway combination rushed!

A beautiful pass was followed by a return pass, and James scored two points with an empty dunk.

This time the Heat didn't think about pressing the tempo anymore, and Nash had such a group of teammates that they knew they couldn't hold it down.

The Grizzlies also immediately served a fast attack, Nash's beautiful ball was given to Sun Ce, who entered the basket, James did not press it, Bosh didn't play the fast break just now, and put it under the basket for the first time, James stared at Yi Jianlian, who was about to catch the ball.

But in the face of Bosh, who lost weight to 220 pounds, that is, 99.7 kilograms, Sun Ce received the ball and directly pushed the opponent away and quickly smashed the ball into the basket.

With stronger outbreaks and faster bullets, Bosh feels like he was facing last season's Stoudemire, who is not so fierce this season!

The two teams once again started a big offensive battle, and the Grizzlies played very well under the leadership of Nash and Sun Ce.

However, Sun Ce and Nash also found one thing, the opponent deliberately made them two-on-two, trying their best to limit the two emperors and Klay Thompson to catch the ball.

If it is usual, maybe this trick will have an effect, and Sun Ce can't trigger the overlord dunk every time he gets to the basket, in case the opponent defends well and doesn't jump, it is still a little difficult for him to confront Bosh or Haslem.

But tonight, Nash felt that Sun Ce was too easy to use, pointing wherever he played, it was like devouring the two skinny interior lines of the Heat team alive.

In this case, no matter how the Heat team defends, just pass the ball to Sun Ce! Occasionally, they fell into positional battles, James and Wade went to flank Sun Ce, and Nash himself could also throw mid-to-long shots.

The Heat's offense is also very fierce, the Janway combination may really be the strongest counterattack combination, they don't have such a sharp wing follow-up player as the Shuangdi, the combination of Bosh and Haslem is very good, but not as good as the Shuangdi, Chalmers three-point shooting is the same as Klay Thompson's average of 1.6 per game, but the shooting percentage and shooting opportunities are not as good as Klay Thompson.

But the strength of the Zhan Wei combination erased these gaps, and the offensive combination of the two of them was indeed more powerful than Nash + Sun Ce.

At the end of the last five and a half minutes of the first half, the two teams went on a 16-15 run!

60-58, the Grizzlies led by two points, with 19 seconds left to end the first half, this time the Heat did not play a fast break, Chalmers advanced to the front court to hand the ball to James, and the last attack was to fall into the battle.

Playing positional battles is the advantage that the Heat can have tonight.

The advantages of the two teams tonight are not very different from usual, usually the Heat team has an advantage in defense and counterattack, and tonight's positional battle has an advantage in slow pace offense and defense.

The Grizzlies' side usually grinds defense as an advantage, but tonight's run has become an advantage.

In the last attack, James was no longer afraid of the opponent's counterattack, and played slowly with a success rate.

Bosh, Haslem, and Chalmers can all pull away to shoot, and with 7 seconds left at the end of the first half, Wade took Klay Thompson up to block Sun Ce, and James took the opportunity to break through!

Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Jr. from the baseline are all pinching towards James, but the main pinching is Jordan Jr. and Klay Thompson, and Sun Ce is ready to pounce on Haslem on the baseline.

At this moment, the system prompt came, Sun Ce turned around sharply, saw Wade rushing in from the free throw line, and quickly retracted it from the right side of the three-second zone, and sure enough, James passed the ball to Wade who entered the free throw line.

Seeing Sun Ce take it back, Wade was also a little surprised, he deliberately didn't cut in at the first time after blocking and dismantling, just to make the other party mistakenly think that James was going to pass to Haslem, who was going to pass to the bottom line, after all, he could only say that he could shoot in the middle shot, not as good as Haslem, a mid-range shooting master, but now he has rushed in to receive the ball, and there is no time to pass it again, Wade is fearless, and he is about to dunk when he jumps against Sun Ce......

Sun Ce saw Wade jumping, that tendon meat was really scary, but Sun Ce didn't coerce, the beast pressed himself without fear, jumped up quickly, collided with Wade, and slapped the ball that Wade deducted!

The ball was fanned by Sun Ce and flew to the opposite half, at this time a long whistle sounded, and at the end of the half, relying on Sun Ce's block, the Grizzlies entered the halftime 60-58!

Wade took several steps back after landing and was not knocked over, but he was stunned, indeed Sun Ce predicted in advance that he cut in and received the ball, came to the defensive position in advance, and had the opportunity to exert his strength in advance, but he was Wade! It's just a tall lanky defender on the other side! The outbreak of confrontation did not have an advantage!

Although Sun Ce also took two steps back after landing, he didn't retreat as far as Wade!

Sun Ce felt so cool now, Yan hat Wade, pointed to Wade and yelled at the floor: "This is my horse!" ”
