After the timeout, the Grizzlies did not make any substitutions, and on the Heat side, Wade, Ray Allen, James, Chris Anderson, and Nene came on the court to try to strengthen on both offensive and defensive ends.

Sun Ce saw the opponent's defensive lineup and felt that the pressure on mid-range shooting had increased, but Randolph was quite threatening tonight, and he still had to play on the offensive end, and the focus was on defense to be good at defense.

The Heat offense, opting for a frontcourt serve, and Jimmy Butler turned on the front defense!

has only played a few games in the season, Beverley and Jimmy Butler have the nickname of the mad dog combination, Beverley needless to say, Jimmy Butler followed Tony Allen to learn defense, in the past year or so, he just learned how to use his physical fitness, defensive skills are average, and there is almost no experience, but Jimmy Butler is very smart, avoids these problems, and learns to use Bever's positivity to make up for a lot of things.

To avoid James not receiving the ball, there is Wade anyway, Wade can just give James a chance to rest on the court, Chris Anderson sends the ball to Wade.

Wade received the ball and met Paul George's defense, from Paul George's small steps, Wade knew that this guy was not easy to deal with, and it would be more troublesome for him to play alone, Wade wanted to find Chris Anderson or James to block and dismantle, and found that it was Sun Ce who defended Chris Anderson!

Wade immediately asked Chris Anderson to go to the low post, and Nene saw Chris Anderson take Sun Ce to the low post and immediately pulled away to the left baseline and took Randolph away.

Sun Ce stood behind Chris Anderson and stuck to the other party, Chris Anderson couldn't stop him if he wanted to get stuck, but when Wade hoisted the ball to Chris Anderson, Sun Ce seized the opportunity and jerked up with all his strength when Chris Anderson made a catch-and-shoot action and stood on tiptoe, 97.5 kg of weight, A+ level explosive impact, Chris Anderson didn't pay attention, was pushed forward, and the hand that received the ball unconsciously made a fist clenching action when maintaining balance, Just in time to flick the ball that flew into his hand!

Chris Anderson hurriedly pounced and grabbed the ball, but just as he grabbed the ball with both hands, a figure faster than him came out from behind him, and the same two hands pressed on the ball that Chris Anderson had just grabbed with both hands, and slammed it hard to snatch the ball away from Chris Anderson's hands!

The fans at the scene saw Sun Ce's savage steal, and many fans jumped up with excitement!

Sun Ce snatched the ball away from Chris Anderson and didn't stop moving, and immediately counterattacked!

Sun Ce, who rushed to the frontcourt, saw James, Wade, and Ray Allen retreat quickly, worthy of being the team with a net win of 16 points in the first five games, but Sun Ce did not reduce his speed, Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson, who cut in on both sides, attracted the attention of Wade and James very well, and then followed up from the middle Klay Thompson, who was ready to receive three points, restrained Chris Anderson, who was chasing back from the other side, Sun Ce rushed into the three-point line and grabbed the ball to make a pass to the left.

Wade immediately lunged on Paul George and James lunged towards Jimmy Butler to avoid the two receiving passes.

But Sun Ce, who grabbed the ball and shook his head from side to side, did not stop, took two steps in a row, stepped into the free throw line in the first step, and stepped out of the reasonable collision area in the second step!

At this time, Wade and James couldn't get it back because they were guarding against Paul George and Jimmy Butler, two opponents with good physical fitness and their own shooting areas, Ray Allen originally pounced and wanted to interfere with Sun Ce's emergency stop jump shot, but when Sun Ce stepped in, Ray Allen could only retreat continuously, and when he saw Sun Ce jumping up against him, Ray Allen couldn't dodge if he wanted to!

With the wailing of the basket, Sun Ce's entire waist pressed against Ray Allen's upper body to smash the ball into the basket, steal and counterattack!

Steal awareness, counter-attack decisiveness, feints to take advantage of the opponent's threat, and three steps from the three-point line to block the opposing guard......

ESPN's commentators couldn't help but praise Sun Ce's successful offensive and defensive operation, which was indeed too beautiful.

However, this commentator has one less thing to analyze, and the thing that others can't notice is the small low-post defensive actions that Sun Ce learned from Kobe.

Looking at the replay, you can't see Sun Ce's small action, only the person concerned, Chris Anderson, knows that his body has a forward movement when he receives the ball, and if he doesn't make that action, standing up to receive the ball may be stealed, so he has to make such a protective action, and it also gives the defender the opportunity to make small movements.

If it is a player with strong ability to receive the ball with his back, it will not have much impact, but Chris Anderson has no independent offensive ability, and he purely relies on secondary offense and receiving the ball on the offensive end, and it is really difficult for him to play in the low post.

Relying on Sun Ce's steal and counterattack and a dragon dunk, the Grizzlies chased the score to 37-41, and the difference narrowed to 4 points!

This defensive counterattack was successful, and the morale of the Grizzlies side soared!

The 4-point difference, there are still more than two quarters to go, and the difference of more than 5 points is a hurdle, which can bring pressure to the backward side, but 4 points can no longer form pressure, and the Grizzlies have relied on the previous wave of 12-8 successful defense confidence has greatly increased, and now they are playing more confidently.

The Heat no longer play tricks, Wade regretted letting Chris Anderson play in the low post, it was too blind, he chose to play normally, and Nene blocked and dismantled, Chris Anderson cut in, James kept the cut threat, and Ray Allen ran the position.

On the Grizzlies' side, Paul George worked very hard to defend Wade, Sun Ce helped to help defend, and when the Janway combination was on the court at the same time, and there were twin towers with strong athleticism and excellent blocking and dismantling, the Heat's offense was not easy to defend, but the Grizzlies' targeted defense on the side, at least did not let the two play normally, and gave the other party a certain limit.

The Heat's side finally felt how terrible the Grizzlies' defense was!

It doesn't matter if it's scary, the key is that the Grizzlies' defensive adaptability is too strong, Randolph goes to play the center, and no one in the Heat team can stand up to him in the low post and under the basket, not to mention, Randolph can still keep up with Nene's footsteps.

However, the Heat were not discouraged and still insisted on playing normally, draining Randolph's current poor fitness.

Although the Grizzlies relied on Randolph's five-point score under the basket in the first few minutes, giving Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler a chance to find scoring opportunities from mid-to-long range, the Heat still withstood the Grizzlies' comeback.

But on the other hand, the Grizzlies have found a way to compete with the Heat!

At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed the Heat by two points at 51-53 and went into halftime, successfully narrowing the gap to two points before halftime!
