Chapter 386 Best Rookie
Relying on Mu Chenfeng's performance, the Heat's scoring soared, and they finally overtook the Lakers in scoring.

The team from Los Angeles has always been cautious. At the moment the score was overtaken, the head coach of the Lakers called a timeout. The performance of the rookie in front of him had obviously far exceeded the pre-match expectations. The content of the timeout was also to restrict Mu Chenfeng, and also wanted to use this short "idle period" to cool down his feeling.

NBA head coaches are best at disrupting opponents' rhythms.

After the timeout, the Lakers should change their defensive strategy. Oscar and Felix switched defenses, and Oscar would mark Mu Chenfeng.

Judging from the relationship within the UCLA team, Oscar is Mu Chenfeng’s big brother. In the NCAA, Mu Chenfeng also respected Oscar. On the one hand, it is because he is a few years older than himself. In China, such an age gap should be respected. On the other hand, Oscar is really strong.

Even though the two are rivals now, Mu Chenfeng still has respect for Oscar.

Therefore, when the two faced each other on the court, Mu Chenfeng's momentum was far inferior to Oscar's.

"Good job." Oscar felt gratified that Mu Chenfeng could make such a big breakthrough. He originally thought that the status of "No. [-] pick" would put a lot of pressure on Mu Chenfeng, which made him unable to perform at his due level. However, judging from the two games, Mu Chenfeng's ability to adapt is very strong.

Rather than saying that he is adaptable, it is better to say that he exists to play in the NBA.

When a person recognizes one thing at a very young age and works hard all the time to realize it, the moment this thing is really realized, he is really ready.

"You are the opponent I am most looking forward to in the NBA." Oscar said slowly. In fact, when Oscar was lying in the hospital and saw Mu Chenfeng leading UCLA to win the NCAA championship and holding up the "mvp" trophy that should belong to him, Oscar fully recognized this little brother, and looked forward to one day being able to face Mu Chenfeng in the professional arena.

This day has finally arrived.

This can be regarded as the first real confrontation between the two in this game. The previous block is a change of defense and does not count.

This time the roles of offense and defense were reversed, Mu Chenfeng attacked and Oscar defended.

Perhaps because he was a little irritated by the block just now, Oscar took the defense very seriously this time. After all, he was his big brother at UCLA. Oscar had a thorough understanding of Mu Chenfeng's characteristics, and his defensive position was always in Mu Chenfeng's "most uncomfortable" position.

This made Mu Chenfeng's offense very uncomfortable, his breakthrough would be blocked, and his shooting would be interfered with.

"Mu Chenfeng may be able to pass James, but he will definitely not be able to pass Oscar." Felix, who was on the sidelines, gave such a comment, which shows how terrible it is to know each other.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Wade suddenly threw off Felix's defense, lifted up, and set up a position on the left side of Oscar.

"Pick and roll!!!"

It seemed to be just an ordinary pick and roll, but it caused a huge sensation, just because the player who picked and rolled was Wade. As Miami's number one star, he would put down his body to do something that a "blue-collar player" would do, and he was doing a pick and roll for a rookie.

When Mu Chenfeng saw Wade stepping up, he immediately broke through to the left of Oscar.

boom! ! !
Oscar, who was unaware of the pick-and-roll, bumped into Wade's body firmly. Although Wade did not often use pick-and-roll skills in the game, it does not mean that his pick-and-roll ability is poor. On the contrary, Wade's pick-and-roll was unparalleled.

However, Oscar did not give up just like that, and tried to use his strength to break through Wade's block, but the difference in absolute strength between the two was too great, and Oscar couldn't shake Wade half a step with all his strength.

Is it just passed away?Of course, Oscar would not allow himself to lose to a pick-and-roll.

So Oscar took a big step back with his left foot, followed by an extremely exaggerated turn, and successfully circled behind Wade. He almost "crushed" Wade in the past.

"Didn't stop it?" Wade was a little shocked by Oscar's instant reaction. What are the origins of this rookie?
"It's not enough!" Oscar still caught up and "blocked" Mu Chenfeng before he could make a move.

Wade's pick-and-roll coordination is epic, so when Oscar appeared in front of him again, Mu Chenfeng looked incredible. He was able to complete his block under such a degree of interference. Oscar's ability should not be underestimated.

In the latest rookie rankings, Oscar and Mu Chenfeng ranked first and second respectively. This is undoubtedly a great affirmation for these two people. Although they both played only one game before, they conquered the fans in just one game. You must know that this list is a big ranking that all rookies who have entered the league in the past three years will participate in it. Being able to stand out among hundreds of rookies is enough to show that these two people have attracted the attention of the league.

As we all know, the NBA is a star-making stage. Many superstars have been born here. As James, Wade, Barrett and others enter the peak of their careers, the league needs to find the next superstar at this time, so that when these players enter the end of their careers, the league is still in high exposure.

Oscar and Mu Chenfeng, as the best rookies, naturally became the "candidates" for the star-making plan. However, there are many stars in the league, but there can only be one "No.1" position forever. As superstars among the stars, they often have super strength and personal charm. From Jordan to Kobe to James, and now James Bryant, these league No.1s all have such qualities.

Among the rookies in today's league, only a handful of players have the conditions to become superstars or even No.1.

Who is the "best rookie" between Oscar and Mu Chenfeng?The result of this game will give the answer.

Under Oscar's strenuous defense, Mu Chenfeng's offense was once again restricted, and there were only 5 seconds left, so he had to seize the time to make a shot. At this time, Oscar's defense was pressing up again, very tight, and it was difficult for Mu Chenfeng to find a chance to make a shot.

Mu Chenfeng had an idea and retreated with his left foot.

"Are you going to shoot a fadeaway again?" Oscar saw through Mu Chenfeng's motives, strode up, and landed in front of Mu Chenfeng's left foot.

As expected, Mu Chenfeng would lean back, but this time, because Oscar's position was relatively forward, the space left for Mu Chenfeng to shoot was extremely narrow, and Oscar's body tilt was no less than Mu Chenfeng's, and the two leaned back together almost in a parallel posture.

"It was seen through." The moment Mu Chenfeng took off, he knew the result of the ball. Oscar's arm was in front of him, and his hand was almost on the basketball. Mu Chenfeng reluctantly threw the ball.

Snapped! ! !
There was a crisp sound, the sound of fingertips touching the basketball. Mu Chenfeng's shot did not pass Oscar's fingertips. Oscar successfully interfered with this shot.
