Chapter 413 Dancing Against the Wind
Mu Chenfeng's verbal response was very sharp, but Kalutel dismissed it. He simply didn't know anything about the strength of European basketball.

It is the strongest basketball region outside of the United States. They even once showed the potential to surpass the NBA. However, the base of European basketball players is still lower than that of the United States. As a result, it is difficult to have continuity in talent cultivation in Europe, and there are often gaps.

After all, there are only a handful of European players who have really made their names in the United States for decades, and even fewer dominant superstars. This is why Europe has always been the attacker of the United States, but it has never been able to truly surpass it.

Even in the "lonely" years of the NBA, Europe failed to surpass the NBA, but it is undeniable that Europe is the biggest enemy of the United States. As for China, it can only play the role of a "bystander".

In the first half of the game, Mu Chenfeng's score was still "0". In the face of physical talent, Mu Chenfeng's offense was useless.

During the intermission, Mu Chenfeng didn't say a word, and didn't participate in the team's discussion. He just sat alone in the corner of the lounge for a full 15 minutes. He didn't stand up slowly until Wade came to greet him to return to the game.

"Mu Chenfeng." Wade saw a pair of fearful eyes. Mu Chenfeng's expression had never been so serious. He played really aggrieved in the first half. Coach Scola gave him many opportunities, but he failed to respond.

If it weren't for the joint performance of Wade and Barrett, it would be impossible for the Heat to lead the Lone Ranger by 3 points at the end of the first half.

"Sorry, everyone." Mu Chenfeng finally spoke the first sentence, "Leave the second half to me."

The teammates looked at Mu Chenfeng with surprised eyes. They didn't expect that after being suppressed for half the game, Mu Chenfeng would still have such a high fighting spirit. They had reason to believe that Mu Chenfeng would make a difference in the second half, and he would certainly make a difference.

"It's impossible for a player to be in a downturn all the time. Our killer has awakened." Barrett felt a domineering aura from Mu Chenfeng, which was the same as the aura that James carried, except that Mu Chenfeng was still a little immature, but it was very rare for a rookie to awaken to this level.

When the second half of the game started, Cannavaro's change in Mu Chenfeng's attitude was both unexpected and imagined. Three years ago, he knew that Mu Chenfeng would grow into a qualified professional player.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Mu Chenfeng said, "The match between us is about to start now."

The performance of the two in the first half was very different. Cannavaro entered the second half with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, while Mu Chenfeng was "0" in all statistics. If you compare the statistics, Mu Chenfeng was at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning.

However, the most direct contest between two people is data.

Cannavaro is ready for his fourth triple-double of the season, and Mu Chenfeng's first task is to break his scoring drought.

At Mu Chenfeng's request, Mu Chenfeng completed the Heat's first attack in the second half. After the latter got the ball, he rushed directly towards the Lone Ranger's penalty area without even thinking about it.

This is the second time for Mu Chenfeng to stand on the free throw line in this game. Before that, he got two free throws and none of them hit.

This is a very rare opportunity to score. Mu Chenfeng adjusted his breathing, then raised the ball above his head, and steadily scored the first free throw. At the same time, he also won his first point of the game.

After breaking the scoring drought, Mu Chenfeng seemed to have let go of the heavy pressure and burden on his body. The second free throw was obviously much more decisive than the first free throw, and the goal was scored simply.

After making two free throws, Mu Chenfeng raised his arms and shouted, venting his inner emotions to his heart's content. His poor performance made him suppress for a long time, and he was finally able to release it in one breath.

"Don't underestimate a heart that wants to score!"

When a scorer's heart is determined, he will keep attacking and scoring.

Seeing that Mu Chenfeng was showing signs of gaining momentum, the Lone Ranger immediately strengthened his defense, but at this time, Mu Chenfeng was completely different from the first half.

The characteristics of European players are good physical fitness and strong confrontation, but relatively speaking, their footsteps are much inferior. Mu Chenfeng grasped this characteristic of the opponent, using smart running positions and sharp offense to try to get rid of the opponent's defense.

Unexpectedly, such tricks really had a certain effect. The defensive players were thrown away by Mu Chenfeng in terms of speed, so Mu Chenfeng played more offense without the ball in the game, so that he could maximize his speed advantage.

So in the next few rounds, Mu Chenfeng only did two things on the offensive end, he kept running to get rid of the defense, and shot directly after catching the ball.

Such a quick and fierce style of play puts the Lone Ranger's overall defense to a great test. Their collective defense is impenetrable, and they protect the penalty area very tightly. However, this defensive formation is much less flexible in terms of flexibility, and the defensive range is also relatively narrow.

However, Mu Chenfeng's offensive range can be expanded beyond the three-point line. He hit three consecutive three-pointers in almost the same position, and in just a few minutes, he raised his score to more than 3 points, gradually approaching Cannavaro's 10 points.

The Lone Ranger could no longer contain the Heat's scoring momentum, so they could only play against each other, and they blossomed inside and outside, biting the score tightly.

The defenses of both sides are "nothing in name". It's not that the defensive ability is not good enough. It's just that the scoring ability of both sides is too strong, which makes the defense look "vulnerable."

Mu Chenfeng continued his touch, and scored another goal head-on, but it was a pity that his toes stepped on the line, and three points became two points. Although it was a pity, it did not affect Mu Chenfeng's emotions at all. After all, only he knew how hot his touch was.

"Just put in next time." Mu Chenfeng cheered himself up in his heart.

In addition to his own scoring accidents, Mu Chenfeng would occasionally assist his teammates. Of course, his teammates would not disappoint Mu Chenfeng's efforts. The three passes were also converted into assists, allowing Mu Chenfeng to improve in statistics other than scoring.

第三节是穆辰风“逆风起舞”的一节，在上半场0+0+0的“稳定表现”后，单节砍下13分2篮板3助攻。

But the statistics of Cannavaro standing opposite him have reached an amazing level: the score has risen to 21 points, the assists have reached 11, and the number of rebounds has also reached 9. In three quarters, he hit a quasi-triple-double of 21+9+11, only one rebound away from his own triple-double.
