Chapter 402 (1/2)
At the end of the first quarter, the score was set at 21-22, with Miami one point behind.
Both sides played well, so the score was very anxious. The heat side of the bitter exaggeration thing is, the entire first quarter, only the big three have scoring records. In the column where others score, the number is 0.
Among them, James won 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists! It's just his first quarter data. Sure enough, this man is really tough.
On the grizzly side, a total of six people have scoring records. Link has 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Randolph has 7 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter. It seems that he is running for double doubles today.
But among the six who scored in the first quarter, Nick Young's name was not included. Nick Young was replaced after a few minutes in the first quarter because the defensive end was too weak. And the offensive side, only handed in 1 shot 0 of the report card.
His usual state did not surprise Stevens much. So, after a few minutes of fighting, he was taken down again.
However, Nick Young didn't seem to feel depressed about it. In his opinion, the shot he made in the first quarter was just for feeling. He has enough time to complete his scoring task.
This guy still firmly believes that he can make some achievements today! Can prove that he is no worse than an old man.
”Andre, take a break in the second quarter.” During the break, Stevens began to adjust his lineup.
Igordala played very well in the first quarter. Without him, James might have scored more points. But Stevens knows how much it costs to fight James. So, in the second quarter, he decided to let igordala down for a while, and then face James with plenty of energy after a few minutes.
Igordala gasped and nodded, and fighting James was no easy job. Stevens was supposed to put Tony Allen in place of igorda and continue to fight James. But after analyzing a wave of situation, the commander suddenly changed his mind.
”Nick, you played for igordala in the second quarter. Link, you're going to have to face LeBron alone on both ends. But don't worry, I'll give you a break. As for you, Nick. Take out your scoring ability, will you? ”
When Stevens finished, Nick Young nodded excitedly. He likes the word score best!
After a brief break, Stevens nervously looked at the heat half-time. Sure enough, Wade didn't show up. In the second quarter, the heat's starting position two is Ray Allen!
“Yes!” Stevens gritted his teeth excitedly. His guess was right!
Wade is not at the beginning of the second quarter, so there's no need to put two defenders on the court. Now this old Ray Allen's offensive threat is, to be honest, not as big as Wade's. And Ray Allen's defensive ability is not as strong as Wade.
Having link and Nick Young on the field at the same time can undoubtedly greatly enhance the Grizzlies' offensive firepower.
If Nick Young can seize the opportunity to play, Stevens believes the Grizzlies can pull the score back!
When link stepped into the field, he also found that there was a change in the heat. Wade and Haslem were not there. Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis were replaced.
Wait, Ray Allen!?
Link couldn't help but look at Nick Young next to him. Sure enough, the guy's eyes changed and he only had the basket in his eyes.
Ray Allen and Nick Young are finally waiting for this guy. NBA legend shooter, 2008 Celtics Championship member. Just looking at his resume, no one should be eager to meet him.
But Nick Young is such an iron sometimes. When he wants to score, even Kobe can't stop him, let alone Ray Allen.
The first attack in the second quarter was initiated by the heat, and James slowed down the rhythm. Although he scored 10 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, the consumption was also very huge. So after the second quarter, James wanted to slow down and save some energy.
So, outside the three-point line, James changed into a team point guard, began to direct his teammates to run, and then distributed the ball.
Ray Allen slipped the baseline to the right corner, and the quick eyed James immediately delivered the ball!
