Chapter 702
In the second quarter of the game, the second team led by Xie Kai suppressed the second team led by James in the situation, which caught the Heat by surprise.

The Heat can also see that the Grizzlies' strategy is to cut off the connection between Janeway and his teammates, so as to prevent your sudden points from being easily scored.So there seems to be only one way left before them, that is, the two of them do it themselves and kill each other to death.

The Grizzlies are playing steadily, fighting the opponent physically, fighting hand-to-hand, and then using the advantage of the inside line to grind the opponent in the positional battle.

What shooters are most afraid of is sticking to defense, and the other is melee combat.The most accurate shooter in the Heat's current rotation, Ray Allen, has been repeatedly served by two first-defense players.Except for a boardwalker who has some open outside shooting opportunities, it is difficult for other pitchers to have open opportunities.

The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency is not high, both teams have excellent defense, and the score is also very low.At halftime, the Grizzlies led by 46 points 42:4.

Xie Kai scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the half, and his performance was quite impressive.

The halftime score was less than 50, and the Grizzlies fans are used to it.For them, this is normal, as long as the opponent has fewer points than their own.Moreover, the rhythm of the game has always been on their own side. The Heat couldn't play their best points and transitions, and the home team had a greater chance of winning in the second half.

Section 3 started soon.

Chalmers slowly dribbles over, and then points to Wade.

Wade's performance in the first half was mediocre, and was overshadowed by the opposing Xie Kai.He only played 54 games this season due to injury, and his scoring average dropped below 20 points per game.You must know that since he entered the league, except for his rookie season, this season is his second season in which he averaged less than 2 points per game.

Wade has a knee problem. Although it is said that he had a effusion before the finals, his knees have already been overwhelmed by years of fighting.

The most important reason for Wade's knee problems so early is his style of play.He is a breakthrough player, and he is good at changing directions, which is really expensive.For the same reason, there is also Ross, who also plays the splits and likes to play rapid changes of direction.

Although James is also a breakthrough type, he has less direction changes and more straight-line breakthroughs, and his bowed legs also protect his knees to a certain extent.

Of course, James' T0-level physical fitness is really rare in a century, and Wade can be regarded as a muscle, but it is incomparable.

Wade faced Xie Kai and cooperated with Bo Yiban to cover.

Xie Kai is still going around the screen, and Wade plays the ball for Bo Yi.

Bo Yibo held the ball to break through the White Bear, and then divided James.

Facing the open space, James still didn't make a shot, and then rushed to the basket to give Bo a rebound!
Bo catches the ball under the basket, hooks - no!
The Black Bear received the rebound and scored Conley to advance.

Conley slowly pushed forward and gave it to the high-ranking white bear.

Xie Kai moved without the ball and attracted the attention of the defense. The White Bear gave the ball to the old prince in the corner!
The old prince made a 3-point shot——had it!
At 49:42, the Grizzlies lead by 7 points!This is the biggest point difference between the two sides in the whole game.

Yu Jia sighed: "The Grizzlies played very methodically. They asked Xie Kai to be a bait to attract the opponent's defensive attention, and then let Gasol support and play for other teammates."

Director Zhang said: "This is what we call the confidence of the championship. The Grizzlies played very reasonably and were very tough. They played very reasonable inside out, pass out and hit back, pass out and hit back, you rush, he Defense, then points, outside shot and hit rate, such a team is very difficult to defend."

The atmosphere in the FedEx Arena reached its climax, and the thunderous cheers of the audience made the scene extremely lively.

The Heat are under a lot of pressure and James dribbles over.

The decline of Wade's competitive state has put James under a lot of pressure. Basically, he is the team's main offense and defense. The team's dual-core breakthrough has gradually become his single-core breakthrough.

If Wade was also a top superstar in the league when the Big Three were first formed a few years ago, Wade today is at most an All-Star player, and he can no longer match the giants.After all, is there any giant at position 2 who averages less than 20 points per game?

James held the ball to face the old prince, and Bo made a pick-and-roll, and the opponent retreated. He forcibly charged and resisted the old prince. Facing the black bear's defense, he fought hard, causing the black bear to foul!

James will go to the free throw line!
This time he was up to the challenge and made two free throws, chasing the score to 49:44.

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai holds the ball, picks and rolls with the White Bear, and divides the White Bear after being flanked!

Bai Xiong held the ball and took a step inside. Seeing that no one was defending him, he sent a shot from the middle distance—it was too short!But he grabbed the offensive rebound himself, feinted a shot, made another shot, and there it is!
51:44, the point difference is still 7 points!
Yu Jia sighed: "The difficulty of scoring two points for the Grizzlies and the two points for the Heat is not at the same level! Unless Bosh shoots open, James' attacking environment is not very good."

Here, Wade holds the ball and faces Xie Kai's defensive breakthrough, but he can't rely on speed to break through. He wants to use the confrontation to resist the opponent, but the opponent's confrontation has improved compared to last season's finals, and it is not easy to resist the opponent. .In the end, he could only distribute the ball to Chalmers!

Chalmers broke through, and Lewis, who was at the top of the arc, made a mistake and passed directly out of bounds.

Director Zhang said: "Chalmers' ability to control the ball is still worse than that of James Wade. The ball can be passed directly by himself, and there is no need to pass it again."

The Grizzlies attack.

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai continued to pick and roll with Bai Xiong, but the opponent still released Bai Xiong.

Xie Kai gave the ball to Bai Xiong, and the latter made another shot from the middle distance - there is still it!
53:44, the score difference reached 9 points!Heat pause!
There were thunderous cheers at the scene. Although Xie Kai didn't score in these few rounds, the team took advantage of his restraint, and both the White Bear and the old prince opened up.

The Heat's strategy of pinching the ball holder did not receive very good results on Xie Kai and Conley.The ability of these two players to play the ball is too good, but it gives the other players of the Grizzlies more opportunities to play less.

In the past, the Heat often made a sudden effort in the third quarter, frantically applied pressure from the outside, and then continued to counterattack, taking the game away in waves.However, as other teams gradually adapted to this defensive method and Wade's knees were overwhelmed, this strategy of pinching the ball holder to steal the ball and counterattack gradually declined.

It's not that the Heat don't know the shooting ability and passing vision of the Grizzlies' two backcourt players, and they have no choice.If you defend step by step and don't put pressure on the opponent's outside line, the opponent will pass the ball to the inside line in a leisurely and orderly manner, allowing the black and white bears to beat their own Taoist and Lewis.
