Chapter 497 Conditions of "Transaction"
Before the competition, Mu Chenfeng received a document from a domestic source, with a bright national flag printed on the surface of the document.

This is an assembly invitation letter from the national team, and the sender is that familiar name: Fang Tianzheng.

The content of the letter is very clear that Mu Chenfeng is invited to participate in the Men's Basketball Asian Cup to be held in Tokyo, Japan at the end of March. This will be a key event for the men's basketball team to compete for the Olympic spot. Fang Tianzheng sent an assembly invitation to a group of the most talented players in China. The goal is to ensure that they win the championship and get Olympic tickets in advance.

The match time of the Asian Cup just coincided with the offseason of the European League and the CBA League. Most of the players could complete the assembly. Only Mu Chenfeng, who played in the NBA, had conflicts in the schedule, and he was the core of this men's basketball team. If he could not participate, the strength of the men's basketball team would be greatly reduced.

All the teams in Asia are on the rise, and they are all very strong. There is no national team of Mu Chenfeng that can guarantee the final championship.

Facing the conflict between the national team and the NBA, Mu Chenfeng also fell into a dilemma.

When Mu Chenfeng was struggling, Black Lee came to his side and made a "deal" with him. As long as Mu Chenfeng could help the team complete the record of "28 consecutive victories", Black Lee allowed Mu Chenfeng to skip the rest of the regular season and report to the national team.

Faced with this "deal", Mu Chenfeng naturally readily agreed. Originally, the team's goal was to win 28 consecutive victories. Under such circumstances, Black Lee's offer of such a condition was clearly a "free gift".

However, the next two games are hard nuts to crack, and it will be very difficult to win them all, especially in front of the "record", the opponent will generally play a super performance on the field to "stop" them.

No one is willing to be the background of disgrace.

Moreover, the Nets are currently fourth in the East, only 1.5 games ahead of the Toronto Raptors, who are fifth in the East. In order to consolidate the team's record and gain home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, the Nets will strive to win every game.

With the combination of several factors, the leading Nets team is no less competitive than the Heat team that wants to create a winning streak.

Obviously, the Heat are the side with more pressure.

Compared with the initial winning streak, the closer the game is to the record, the greater the pressure on the players. Since the Heat's winning streak reached 20 games, it is obvious that the players are under pressure to fight on the field. Many games have almost ruined the winning streak. Fortunately, the absolute strength of the Heat is strong enough to avoid the interruption of the winning streak.

This season, the Heat have a record of victories against 29 other teams. Among them, they have swept 8 teams that have completed the confrontation this season. The winning rate is terrible.

So far this season, the Miami Heat have only lost 6 games in total, tying the Golden State Warriors who won 73 games in the same period. If the Heat can continue their current winning streak, it is very likely that they will break the league's single-season winning record.

In the 2015-2016 season, the Golden State Warriors achieved a record of 73 wins in a single season. They only lost 9 regular season games throughout the season, surpassing the 72 wins of the Chicago Bulls. However, in the finals, the Warriors were led 3-1 by the Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

It is a great pity that they failed to win the championship with 73 wins in the season, but this does not affect the greatness of the Warriors team. The record of regular season wins they set has not been broken so far.

Moreover, they have shown extremely strong dominance in the regular season this year. If the Miami Heat can break or tie the regular season win record while winning the championship, then they will become one of the greatest teams in history in one fell swoop.

Before the game, the members of the Heat team gathered together. As the soul of the team, Wade was at the center, mobilizing the morale of the players with passionate "speeches".

Although it is an away game, the number of spectators on the scene is "[-]-[-]". After all, the Heat are the most popular players this season. Their fans are not limited to Miami. Heat fans can be seen everywhere in the older regions of the United States, and New York, the largest city in the United States, is no exception.

The Heat have the largest local fan base outside of Miami in New York, and this battle is of great significance. When pre-selling tickets, it only took 37 seconds to completely sell out.

The Heat, in Brooklyn, can't feel the feeling of an away game at all.

The game officially started, and both teams showed excellent competitive status.

Standermire won the first wave of ball possession for the Heat, which allowed him to successfully jump the ball 24 times during the winning streak, and only lost 27 games in 3 games. He is a veritable jump ball machine.

Mu Chenfeng took the lead on behalf of the Heat. After completing the pick-and-roll with his teammates, he slid out of the baseline and successfully got rid of the defender. Wade immediately crossed the ball to Mu Chenfeng who was open in the corner. Mu Chenfeng caught the ball and made a jumper, and the basketball fell into the basket like silk.

This is the way the Heat are used to opening the game, using screens to create open shots for outside players. Although the Nets are already alert in this regard, the Heat's cooperation is quite skilled, and the quality of the screens is very high.

The Nets did not get too obsessed with Mu Chenfeng's shooting, but immediately organized an effective counterattack. Chris used his personal ability to attract a double-team. With sharp eyes, he immediately found an open teammate, and his teammates did not disappoint his pass.

This wave of offense and defense is a positive signal for the Nets. This year's role players feel very online, which allows Chris to safely deliver shells to his teammates in the opening stage, which can also save energy.

The Nets are one of the few single-core teams in the league. Therefore, when Chris faces the Big Three of the Heat, physical fitness becomes particularly important. He is the only bargaining chip that the Nets can compete with the Heat at critical moments. Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, save as much as you can.

Unless the point difference between the two teams has widened to a certain extent, Chris will not excessively consume his physical energy. He is the only chance for the Nets to win the opponent.

It was rare for Mu Chenfeng to fire at the beginning of the game. It was originally Barrett's task, but Mu Chenfeng snatched it away. However, Mu Chenfeng's touch was really good today, and the next two mid-range shots were also beautifully hit. He made a perfect start with 3 of 3 shots. However, such a high-quality start failed to establish a lead for the Heat, because their opponent's touch was also good today.
