Chapter 749 (1/2)
In the ninth minute of the second quarter, Conley's jump shot deviated from the target and ran out of the box.
But Randolph appeared in time in the most correct position, a slight jump, will catch up in front of all the offensive rebounds in the bag.
”Zach grabbed the offensive rebounds. He's just a beast on the inside today.” Herbie Brown was excited when he saw Randolph win the rebound. Randolph's performance from the beginning of the second quarter to now is amazing!
After Randolph grabbed the rebound, James and Bosh both stood beside him with arms raised. But Randolph was not bluffed, he carried bosh to jump to the basket, the second attack shot.
In the end, Randolph hit the ball hard with two people. Bosh and James looked at each other in surprise.
Because after this goal, Randolph has 8-for-8 this season! Randolph has not missed a bullet since his appearance!
”Goal, the Grizzlies are six points ahead of the heat! Coach Spoelstra had to stop the game. Z-bo completely destroyed the heat's weak inside line today
Under the roar of the commentator and the cheers of the fans, Randolph raised his right arm and gave a low roar. Like an angry black bear, swearing its territory inviolable.
8 out of 8, 17 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, 100% of the hit rate! Zac Randolph was a superstar in the second quarter, and it turned out that Joel's tactics worked. He made the Grizzlies change from passivity to initiative and from backwardness to leading by using the strategy of attack and counter attack.
Link in the suspension of the moment to rush up and Randolph in the air chest, in the second quarter of the game link has not been much, Randolph has been the heat's defense line full of holes.
Randolph's desire to win 72 made him invincible under the basket. James + Bosh's inside line combination, obviously cannot contain the real low position scorer.
The heat are still looking for opportunities outside the three-point line in this quarter, but when their three-point shooting rate in the second quarter became 3-out-8, the score began to be forced to approach gradually, until it exceeded. Randolph is only a 2-point 2-point chisel, but because of the high efficiency, still let the heat suffer.
Randolph told the league in action that as long as your low post attack is efficient enough, you can also reverse the three-point ball. Basketball game, can be far more than 3 points than 2 points more than 1 point so simple. In this era of three-point ball, retro low play sometimes can work wonders.
The heat's players walked down the court dejectedly. They started the first quarter so dreamily that they were now behind and hit them hard.
On the other side, the Grizzlies are getting more and more excited. The feeling of being suppressed by the other party was swept away, and they became the party in charge of the initiative.
Sure enough, when the game resumed, the heat had to send veteran Haslem. Together with bosh, he will build a protective net in the interior to prevent Randolph from continuing to wreak havoc in the low post.
”Birdie” Chris Anderson and Greg Oden's injury, so that the internal reserves are extremely scarce heat is now unable to draw out the staff. Haslem + bosh, is already the heat can send the strongest inside combination.
In the rest of the second quarter, Randolph was defended by Haslem and bosh. Although Haslem's ability is not as good as James, he is more willing to work hard than James on the defensive end.
James always had to be wary of attack, could not put all his energy into the melee with Randolph. Therefore, he gave Randolph in the low post of the confrontation is not necessarily more fierce than Haslem.
Randolph is temporarily limited, but the heat's defensive energy has also been dispersed. Link led Nick Young to continue scoring, leaving the heat's defense still shaky.
In the last attack before half-time, Randolph leaned against Haslem in the low post to get to the position and reached for Conley's ball.
The rhythm of the second half of the second quarter of the game was very retro. The pictures of the two teams fighting in the low position were far more than those of the three-point projection.
People feel as if they have passed through the 1990s or the beginning of the 21st century. The main theme of the competition is the low position hand to hand combat of big men.
Conley comfortably fed the ball to the mouth of the big black bear. Randolph took the ball and turned his back to squeeze under the basket, ready to attack.
However, the ”big black bear” had just taken off when Haslem rudely pulled him down. Landorf, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, and link felt the wooden floor under his feet as if shaking.
The referee whistled immediately, Haslem, this is undoubtedly a foul. And it's not too much to call a foul.
The Grizzlies' players immediately got together. Fortunately, all the players on the spot are not fond of causing trouble, otherwise conflicts will surely break out on the scene.
Link was the first to rush to Randolph. He looked at Randolph on the ground and stretched out his right hand. ”Is everything ok?”
”Well, I didn't fall.” The sweating Randolph began to laugh, and his chest heaved violently on the ground.
Randolph played a lot of time in this quarter, 8-for-8 in a single quarter had to defend James, which definitely made him consume a lot of physical strength.It can be said that Randolph concentrated on the outbreak of the second quarter in order to open a gap for link. He didn't even think about the second half today, because Randolph believed that link could handle everything in the second half.
So in the second quarter, Randolph bloomed without reservation.
