pinnacle of basketball

Chapter 636 G1 ([-])

come back so soon?
The timing of Mu Chenfeng's appearance made the entire Lakers team, including James, unexpected. He thought he would sit on the bench for at least 4-6 minutes, but his return time was earlier.

"Could it be that this substitution is just a cover-up?" James looked at Rondo again, and Rondo looked confident at this time.

"Although I don't know how you persuaded the coach, since you're back, let's put this damn basketball into the basket!" Wade passed the ball to Mu Chenfeng who was near the center line.

"Damn it, it's not a mess."

"Mu Chenfeng is floating, he dares to cast from such a distance."

"This kid will definitely be pushed back to the bench in a while."

There was quite a controversy about Mu Chenfeng's shot this time, but after 1 second, all those voices who questioned him shut up.

Swish! ! !
The three-pointer went straight into the net, and Mu Chenfeng continued the fiery touch of the first quarter, and even became hotter.

"Chasing points, start!" Mu Chenfeng looked at James with cold eyes, and there was clearly a raging fire burning in those cold eyes, and the flames were getting hotter and hotter.

"Chasing points? Well, you have to be able to guard me." James held the ball, switched himself to Mu Chenfeng through the pick-and-roll, turned around, and played with his back.

The moment the two made physical contact, Mu Chenfeng felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Although he had faced off against James before, this was the first time he encountered such force. James used his body to force Mu Chenfeng all the way to the penalty area.

"Your strength is too weak. You can't play basketball without strength." James spoke in a very stable breath, and his breath was not disturbed by the confrontation with Mu Chenfeng.

"But strength alone is not enough." Mu Chenfeng retreated suddenly, removing all the strength that James was fighting against.

If it was an ordinary player, he would have made a mistake when he encountered such a "removal of the chair", but James was not affected too much, but he controlled the ball steadily.

"Removing the chair? It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the wrong person was used." James had already guessed that he would do this. It should be said that all players who suffered a disadvantage in the matchup would choose this tactic. Mu Chenfeng made the absolutely correct choice, but the effect was not good. James' lower body strength is very solid, and he can still stand firm even when facing the withdrawal of the chair.

"Really?" A voice came from James' side, and then the basketball in his hand was "stabbed".

Steal! ! !Mu Chenfeng completed a one-on-one steal against James.

"He already knew I wouldn't be fooled?" James looked at Mu Chenfeng's nimble back with surprised eyes. There are not many people who can steal James, and there are even fewer people who can steal him in one-on-one. Mu Chenfeng did it, and it was twice.

The Heat quickly launched a fast-break counterattack, and everyone pressed forward. Wade made a direct pass to Mu Chenfeng, who was leading the way.

"Come on, try to challenge the two of us." Oscar and Felix are natural teammates. They can build an impeccable defense on the defensive end without too much communication. The two will make up for each other's defensive loopholes and hit it off.

Mu Chenfeng was not stupid enough to challenge two people he was most familiar with alone. Mu Chenfeng's breakthrough was just a feint. While successfully attracting the defensive attention of Felix and Oscar, he suddenly passed the ball back behind him.

The tacit cooperation exploded the audience. Everyone thought that Mu Chenfeng was going to fight by himself, but only Barrett knew his true intentions.

Even the back-to-defense movements after scoring the goal were surprisingly consistent. They played such a "top 10 ball" cooperation. The two should "celebrate", but the calm reaction of the two directly downplayed the excitement of this cooperation.

It's just an ordinary match, what's there to celebrate?
"Ghost coach" Rondo's magical operation once again caught the Lakers by surprise. The Lakers' coping strategy was obviously insufficient, allowing him to close the point difference to 5 points as soon as he came up.

The Lakers coaching staff had to call a timeout and started targeting Mu Chenfeng.

"I'm afraid you're going to have a rather painful time in the future." Wade watched the coaching staff of the Lakers scribbling on the tactical board, so he gave Mu Chenfeng a vaccination.

"So what?" Mu Chenfeng said very calmly, "I still have you guys."

Mu Chenfeng's words made the Heat players sober up instantly, and they all understood what he was going to do next.

After the timeout, the Lakers really strengthened their defense against Mu Chenfeng, and even switched James to defend Mu Chenfeng.

This should be regarded as the first head-to-head confrontation between the two in the true sense. Before, it was through switching defenses and rotations, but now it is a real frontal offense and defense.

"Huh? To replace you, you really think highly of me." Mu Chenfeng said.

"You deserve such treatment," James responded.

James, who has been on the best defensive team for six consecutive seasons, actually defends a first-year rookie. The picture is very interesting.

"You're here to guard me? Then what should he do?" Mu Chenfeng dribbled the ball with a flick of his wrist, and passed the basketball to Barrett.

Pass?James knew that Mu Chenfeng would make such a choice, but what he didn't expect was that he made the choice so fast. He couldn't even feel a trace of desire to fight from Mu Chenfeng, and the burning fighting spirit just now was gone.

After receiving the pass from Mu Chenfeng, Barrett directly rushed inside. The sudden drop in defensive pressure made him play more easily. After passing the defender, he decisively dunked Raphael who was coming to defend him.

"You seem to have released a wild beast." Mu Chenfeng smirked.

For the Lakers, only James can restrain Barrett. Now that James has switched to Mu Chenfeng, Barrett can really do whatever he wants.

James needed to make a choice between Mu Chenfeng and Barrett, and he decisively chose to continue defending Mu Chenfeng and give up Barrett.

"He's just a beast, but you are much more terrifying than a beast." James gave Mu Chenfeng a surprisingly high score. In his opinion, an opponent full of infinite possibilities is far more intimidating than a beast.

Under the restriction of James, Mu Chenfeng didn't even take a single shot in the second half of the second quarter, but he sent 3 assists during this period, helping the Heat to catch up to only 1 point before halftime.
