pinnacle of basketball

Chapter 395
The Heat made an appointment for on-site training at four o'clock in the afternoon, which overlapped with the Jazz's training time by one hour.

This kind of schedule is specially applied by the Heat, and they also want to see how the Jazz are currently playing.

Entering the Energy Solutions Arena, the training of the Jazz is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Seeing the arrival of the Heat, the Jazz were somewhat surprised.

"Come so early?" After seeing the Heat, Sloan guessed their intentions. The younger Sloan perfectly inherited the excellent basketball genes and keen judgment of the old Sloan, so when he saw everyone in the Heat, Sloan immediately changed his original training plan and changed it to shooting training.

"You are still so cautious." Scola walked to Sloan's side and started chatting.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Sloan rolled his eyes at Scola. The two had been classmates since college, so the friendship between the two is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and they are also the people who know each other best.

"We played well this year." Sloan praised Scola. At present, the Heat are one of the only two teams in the NBA that have never lost a game, and the team is in full swing, especially the rookie in the team.

Mu Chenfeng and William finally met. This was their first meeting after the NCAA finals. They were still rivals, but they wore NBA jerseys.

It can be said that William has always been suppressed by Mu Chenfeng. From the NCAA to the draft, and then to his professional performance on the field, William has always been inferior to Mu Chenfeng. He is tired of the feeling of being suppressed all the time. He wants to make a comeback in this game.

After two months, William has fully adapted to the plateau environment of Salt Lake City. He has grown into the team's defensive core from the beginning of dragging the team's hind legs. He also has a good scoring ability. When the team needs it, he will also choose to score.

However, this was the first time Mu Chenfeng came to Salt Lake City. To be precise, it was the first time he played in a plateau environment. His physical reaction was still very strong. Before the game started, he began to be out of breath, his body felt heavy, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you okay?" Wade asked with concern when he noticed Mu Chenfeng's strangeness.

Mu Chenfeng supported his body and said, "It's okay, just get used to it."

"Let him do it himself." Barrett said, "You will have to pass this test yourself sooner or later."

As opponents in the East and West, the Heat will confront the Jazz twice a year. For Mu Chenfeng, he must overcome the altitude sickness, and there are not only NBA arenas located on plateaus in Salt Lake City.

The players started training, and Mu Chenfeng sat alone on the bench to rest, trying to adjust his breathing, so that he could adapt to the current altitude sickness as soon as possible.

In fact, people who come here will have some altitude sickness to some extent. Although Wade and others are not in any abnormal state, the ability displayed will not be deceiving. On this court, everyone's athletic ability will decline. The running speed and jumping height have decreased significantly, and everyone's reaction will also slow down.

Such an impact should have been mutual for both sides of the game, but the Salt Lake City team has long adapted to playing in such an environment, so even if there is an impact, it is much smaller than the impact of the visiting team.

The devil's home stadium in Salt Lake City is not a vain name, it is a real devil's home stadium.

After some adjustments, Mu Chenfeng's condition gradually improved, so he got up, walked into the field and joined the players.

The Heat first let the players do simple shooting training. From the moment Mu Chenfeng touched the ball, he felt that this ball was different from the balls he usually used for playing.

In fact, it's not that basketball is different, but that Gao Yuan's reaction also works on basketball, which is why it gave Mu Chenfeng such an illusion.

Mu Chenfeng tried a shot, but it turned out to be a clean shot outside the basket. Let alone a goal, it didn't even touch the net.

"The ball is so heavy." Mu Chenfeng said, and then deliberately exerted more force on the basketball in the following training. This time, the basketball passed through the basket.

"Did you get used to it so quickly?" Wade felt incredible about Mu Chenfeng's strong adaptability. Everything here is different from what he usually encounters, but Mu Chenfeng only took a few shots to master the skills of playing on this field. His talent is really high.

Afterwards, Mu Chenfeng tried a dunk, but under the influence of gravity, Mu Chenfeng's take-off height was significantly lower, and the dunk with all his strength was barely made, and when he landed, there was a muffled sound under his feet.

Mu Chenfeng finally realized the horror of the highland field, and all performances here will be greatly discounted.

"Welcome to Salt Lake City." As a potential new star of the Utah Jazz, William took the initiative to come to Mu Chenfeng and greet him.

Mu Chenfeng responded immediately after seeing William.

"Tomorrow's game, I will be responsible for defending you." William told Mu Chenfeng about tomorrow's matchup. It stands to reason that this should be the team's "secret" and will only be revealed during the game. However, William took the initiative to tell Mu Chenfeng such important information.

Mu Chenfeng was stunned, and stammered, "Okay."

"What's the matter?" Wade stepped forward and interrupted, looking at William suspiciously, "Never believe anything your opponent says."

"Believe it or not, anyway, tomorrow's game, the final victory must belong to us." After finishing speaking, William turned and left the field. The Jazz's training was over, and Sloan decided to take the team to leave and leave the field to the Heat.

"Let's go now? Don't you look at our tactics?" Scola asked jokingly.

"I'm not interested in your tactics." Sloan responded seriously.

The brief exchange was fruitful. Although William took the initiative to tell Mu Chenfeng that the two were going to face off, the Heat were dubious about it. Which opponent would be stupid enough to tell their opponents their team's tactics. If the head coach finds out about this, it will be a proper suspension package.

However, judging from William's expression and attitude, he didn't seem to be lying, and he had no reason to lie.

"I believe in him." Mu Chenfeng looked at William's back and said, "Tomorrow, it will definitely be the two of us facing each other."

"Are you so confident?" the teammate asked.

"of course."

"why?"

"Because he is William, and I am Mu Chenfeng!"
