Chapter 370 Calm Mind

The Hongyuan team replaced Li Zhehan. With his current competitive state, it is difficult to regain the lost touch.

The Miami Heat ushered in an excellent opportunity to chase points. The Hongyuan team lost the most reliable outside shooter, which forced the Hongyuan team to compress the offense to the inside. However, because of the existence of Yi Junle, the Hongyuan team can still maintain a certain advantage.

Miami arranged for Mu Chenfeng to take a short 5-minute rest to prepare for the final decisive battle. During this period, the Heat could only rely on some "veterans" in the team to stabilize the situation. In order to catch up with the team, the Heat dispatched 5 players who had official NBA game experience.

The current Heat is an out-and-out NBA team. Although most of the players in the team play the role of substitutes, they are also some players who are on the court and have certain strength. It is not easy for the Hongyuan team to stabilize the situation in front of such opponents. This is their performance after they lost Li Zhehan, a three-point shooter.

"The Heat shouldn't lose, right? That's a big shame." In front of the screen, some NBA teams were watching the game. Although the summer league wasn't a high-intensity game, it wasn't exciting, but the two duel teams attracted a lot of attention.

The NBA's management once thought that one day international basketball would catch up with the pace of the United States, but they believed that the teams from Europe would stand opposite the United States.

I didn't expect this day to come so fast, and it's still a CBA team.

The CBA team is expected to become the first summer league champion outside the NBA, and they are only 5 minutes away from the championship.

Mu Chenfeng finished his rest and returned to the court. He came to win the game this time. Although he didn't want to do this and personally sent the CBA team to a defeat, for Mu Chenfeng, he urgently needed this victory to prove something. The first is to prove that his strength is worthy of the No. [-] pick. The second is to prove to the CBA that the current strength of the CBA is not enough to attack the NBA.

The first thing Mu Chenfeng did when he returned to the court was to help the team recover from the point difference. They were behind by 5 points in 10 minutes. Such a gap is not considered a point difference in the NBA. With the explosive scoring power of NBA teams, it only takes a few rounds to tie.

"Defense!" Mu Chenfeng stood in front, marking Hongyuan's point guard.

"It's a strong sense of oppression." At this point in the game, Mu Chenfeng also improved his defensive aggression and cut off the opponent's passing line.

In these rookie ability rankings, Mu Chenfeng's defensive ability ranks third in the guard position, which belongs to the top existence among rookies. His excellent defensive awareness and excellent defensive judgment allow him to always complete steals from opponents.

The defender of the Hongyuan team was blocked to stop the ball, Yi Junle immediately pulled out from the inside and stepped forward to support. The defender chose to shoot immediately after seeing Yi Junle.

"Want to pass the ball? No way!" Mu Chenfeng accurately judged the timing of the opponent's pass, and shot the ball at the moment of the pass, stealing the basketball.

"What a quick shot!" The other party was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Chenfeng to be so focused.

When the guard reacted, Mu Chenfeng had already launched a fast break. Mu Chenfeng threw the ball to his teammates who were about to come down. After receiving the ball, the teammates took three steps directly, completely denying the Hongyuan team a chance to defend, and completed a layup.

The point difference returned to within 10 points.

The Hongyuan team noticed the momentum of the Heat's counterattack, so they intentionally controlled the game time, slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, and organized the attack in a calm manner, but the time was coming to an end bit by bit.

"We must find a way to raise the rhythm of the game." Miami's coaching staff is thinking about how to deal with it. Before the game, the Heat thought it would be an easy game, and the coaching staff did not make enough difficult preparations. As the game progressed, the game gradually lost their control, and the disadvantages of insufficient preparation gradually emerged.

Thanks to the strong adaptability of the players and their outstanding personal abilities, the Heat did not collapse and still retained the hope of winning.

However, no matter how strong an individual is, it is difficult to match the strength of a team. The CBA Hongyuan team is such a united team. They have the same goal, which is the championship, and they will spare no effort for this goal.

This is an important reason why the CBA Hongyuan team can become the team with the most championships in the CBA league.

"Never relax until the end!" The Hongyuan team members maintained a high degree of concentration. Although they are in two different leagues, they still know NBA teams very well. Players who can be selected into the NBA league have certain strengths. Whether they are the main force or the substitute, they all have a strong scoring ability, and those reversed games are mostly dominated by some role players or substitute players, and these players are collectively called "X factors".

Therefore, there is a saying in the NBA that stars are not terrible, because their strength is obvious to all, but those role players are terrible, because you don't know when they will explode.

Under the leadership of Mu Chenfeng, the Heat launched a comprehensive counterattack, and the game entered the final 3-minute decisive battle.

"I don't know if the Hongyuan team can withstand the impact of the last 3 minutes." The audience commented that there are two kinds of games in the league, one is the regular time game, and the other is the last 3 minutes of the game, because in the last 3 minutes, all the players will put out the highest intensity to devote themselves to the game, spare no effort in defense, and crazily attack the opponent's basket in offense.

Due to the relationship between physical fitness and style of play, that is the intensity of the game that CBA does not have. Even the Hongyuan team, which is a frequent visitor to the finals, has never played such a high-intensity game. points.

This ebb and flow, Hongyuan team's "poor" performance on the defensive end even carried over to their offensive end, and there were frequent iron strikes during the offense. Except for Yi Junle's performance that was fairly stable, the rest of the Hongyuan team's performance was not satisfactory.

"Is this still a game?" The members of the Hongyuan team were somewhat "doubted about their lives" by the Heat.

The teammate's strong performance is inseparable from Mu Chenfeng's go-between. In the last 2 minutes, Mu Chenfeng didn't score a single point, but he received 3 assists. He turned into a point guard to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. His teammates also responded to Mu Chenfeng with one goal after another.

With only 52 seconds left in the game, the Heat were only 2 points behind the Hongyuan team. The huge disadvantage was chased back, and the momentum completely overwhelmed the Hongyuan team.

Faced with such a situation, even the champion Hongyuan team was a little confused, and Yi Junle's 5 fouls made Hongyuan team even worse.

The summer league adopts the NBA's standard competition system. A player has 6 fouls. If he commits 6 fouls, the player will be forced to leave the field and cannot continue to participate in the game.

Yi Junle has been fouled 5 times. If he commits another foul, he will leave the field with full fouls. Therefore, Yi Junle also intentionally controls his movements to avoid physical contact with the opponent. His teammates also try to help Yi Junle share the pressure on both ends of the offense and defense.

As the boss of the team and the core of a team, if Yi Junle commits fouls and leaves the field, it will cause a devastating blow to the team's momentum, especially at critical moments of the game. Therefore, as long as he stands on the field and does nothing, he will make his teammates feel at ease. This may be the most important role of the core of the team. They can provide energy for the team.

"The opponent's inside line has committed 5 fouls." The players of the Heat team had already noticed Yi Junle's problem, and they reminded each other.

"As long as you beat him down, the opponent will disperse." The Heat immediately formulated the next battle plan and launched an attack on Yi Junle.

NBA players play simply and neatly, and their offensive intentions are very obvious. After breaking through to the basket, they are not in a hurry to make a shot, but lean towards Yi Junle's body, wanting to create confrontation and cause damage.

Yi Junle's reaction was very fast. Seeing that the opponent wanted to attack by himself, he dodged to the side. Instead of pressing to defend, he "let" this attack. The opponent easily scored the ball, but it did not cause Yi Junle's foul.

"This Chinese player is quite smart." The Heat player joked.

"Don't underestimate China." Mu Chenfeng responded from the side, "It's not easy to kill him."

The more Mu Chenfeng said this, the more he could arouse the desire of the Heat players. They planned to continue to kill Yi Junle in the follow-up games. Their goal gradually shifted from winning the game to letting Yi Junle "foul out".

"If you want to cause his foul, you don't have to be on offense, you can also do it on defense." The Heat players have a thorough understanding of the tactics of "drawing fouls". Since Yi Junle will deliberately avoid him during offense, he can also cause his "offensive foul". This will also be recorded within the "six fouls". As long as he succeeds, Yi Junle will also leave the field.

NBA players are more "stubborn" than imagined, and they will not give up if they do not achieve their goals.

In Hongyuan's offensive round, Yi Junle got into the Heat's inside line. As soon as his front foot stepped into the penalty area, his back foot was double-teamed by the Heat. At this time, he was the only point that Hongyuan could score. , he would still raise his hand without hesitation.

The core of the position team must have such a responsibility.

It is still very difficult to safely pass the ball to Yi Junle under double-teaming, and there is a great risk of being intercepted, so Yi Junle pointed to the air, and his teammates understood, and threw the ball high into the air.

The basketball travels high and slowly through the air.

"This ball is too high." Some people couldn't help but sighed. Anyone who knows a little bit of basketball would not pass such a "bad" ball. This is clearly giving the opponent the ball. Such a high and slow pass is clearly a chance for the Heat to steal. As long as someone blocks Yi Junle's body, another person can complete the steal casually. Moreover, this ball is too high. Even if there is no confrontation and blocking, it is difficult to catch it.

"Ah!!!" Yi Junle forcibly squeezed out of a certain position, and then jumped up high. Together with him, there were two insiders of the Heat team. The three of them formed an "air battle" under the basket, fighting for the ball.

"What?" The audience was stunned, stunned by the scene in front of them. The two Heat players who were grabbing the ball had already started to fall, but Yi Junle showed no sign of falling, but was still rising.

Until the ball is firmly controlled with one hand, and then embraced in his arms.

"Is this the bounce that yellow people should have? He actually stays in the air longer than black people."

The super-long stay in the air helped Yi Junle gain a lot of praise, and at the same time, it also made the audience admire the "Chinese player"'s jumping ability.

Being able to receive the ball is not the most difficult part of this attack, the most difficult part is how Yi Junle can score the ball under the double-team situation.

Since they were the ones who landed first, the Heat players immediately set up defensive positions after the failed fight, ready to meet Yi Junle's attack.

The defense was very close, but neither of the two players exerted much force. Yi Junle did not feel the sense of oppression that the key ball should have from these two people.

"Could it be that..." Yi Junle is alert to the Heat's "foul-making" tactics. As long as he exerts his strength, the opponent will fall to the ground immediately, and if he does so, he will receive his sixth foul.

"Come on." The face of the Heat team member said "can't wait" four words brightly.

"Have you noticed it?" Mu Chenfeng calmly observed Yi Junle's every move, and the moment he paused when he landed showed everything.

"You want to trick me into making a foul? How naive!" Yi Junle didn't hit the basket forcefully, but jumped backwards, with a slight lean back, and the jump shot was shot with a soft touch, and the basketball slammed into the basket.

The foul-making tactic once again failed.

"What's the origin of this guy? How can he remain so calm even at this point in the game?" The Heat members were very surprised by Yi Junle's calm performance.
