Chapter 510 Three Giants vs Three Giants
In the Lakers' half, a 2vs2 situation was formed.

Although the team leaders are in the same situation in terms of numbers, in terms of the quality of this group of "2vs2" players, the Heat have the overall upper hand.

The two role players of the Lakers are the opponents of the Heat. Mu Chenfeng is not greedy for offense. After seeing the opponent's defensive position, he directly passes the ball to Barrett, who has a more obvious advantage in the matchup. With Barrett's body, he can easily "eat" the opponent.

But Barrett did not choose to attack the basket. Instead, he dribbled and ran towards the three-point line, gradually moving away from his best position.

"What is Barrett doing, what a good offensive opportunity, just give up?" someone questioned.

"No, he didn't give up. He just didn't bother to score two points. His goal was to get three points."

"Three-pointers? I remember that his three-point shooting percentage in the season was only 33.3%. How dare he shoot three-pointers with such a poor three-point shooting percentage?"

"Barrett is indeed a dunker, but that doesn't mean he can only dunk. You must know that he made the last shot when he was in the Bulls. He has a record of 9 direct lore opponents. The reason why his three-point shooting percentage this season is so low is because he has reduced the number of shots. In the Bulls, he averaged 5 three-pointers per game. After coming to the Heat, he has some good outside teammates who share his pressure on the three-point line. The season's average three-point shots per game is only 2.2 times, which is more than double that of the Bulls, don't be fooled, Barrett is as comprehensive a player as James."

As soon as the words fell, Barrett really chose an outside shot, and it was a very difficult three-pointer from the corner.

Whether a player is a qualified shooter can basically be judged from the shooting posture of a player. Barrett’s shot is very standard, not like the shooting posture that a dunk should have at all. He is more like a professional top shooter.

Even his teammates were incredulous about Barrett's three-pointer, but he himself was calm. Although his shooting percentage was only 33.3%, he was relentless at critical moments.

Barrett showed the true qualities of a giant, scoring 5 points in a row when the team fell behind, and the point difference was forced to close to only 2 points.

This three-pointer can be regarded as a response to James' three-pointer in the middle circle just now. Although the distance is not as close as James, the score does reflect the same, no matter how far it is, it is not always a three-pointer.

Faced with Barrett's strong performance in chasing points, Oscar, who hadn't performed for a long time, also responded on the offensive end. He replaced the difficult Mu Chenfeng through the pick-and-roll.

Oscar and Mu Chenfeng were like "enemies". One scored a goal, and the other was eager to respond. His teammates also gave the opportunity and gave up the ball to Mu Chenfeng. Mu Chenfeng pushed forward with the ball and faced Oscar's defense.

The scoring process was full of twists and turns, but the result was very satisfying. Not only did he get points, but he also "swiped" a rebound for himself.

The offensive cores of both teams have scored and responded to each other. They played hard, which made Wade and Felix feel a little itchy. Because they are point guards, the core task of the two games so far is to sort out the team's offense and deliver the ball to teammates. The scoring performance of the two is mediocre. Wade scored 6 points and Felix only scored 4 points.

This has a lot to do with the "status" of the two in the team. Wade is the Heat's well-deserved first organization position. Almost every team's offense must be launched through him, while Felix is ​​a "nominal" point guard. The team's strength and control of the ball are in the hands of James.

It's just that this time the two of them chose to attack instead of passing the ball.

Wade transferred from the position of shooting guard to point guard, so his offensive firepower is very fierce. Among the active point guards in the league, his offensive ability is undoubtedly the first.

So when Wade returned to his familiar offensive position, he was almost unstoppable. What's more, he was facing a first-year rookie.

Wade has been sorting out the team's offense for almost half of the season, and his signature offensive skills have not become unfamiliar due to the change of position. He will occasionally use those skills on the offensive end, and when he uses them, the opponent can only look at the ball and sigh.

Felix's tuition fee is not a loss at all, let alone him, there are not many people in the league who can guard against Wade, his speed is too fast, and it is impossible to guard against.

In the previous confrontation between the two giants, they both responded wonderfully to each other. Now it's Felix's turn. If he can't give Wade a certain response, it will make the Lakers lose a lot of momentum.

The pressure on Felix can be imagined, and the gap between him and Wade is visible to the naked eye. Wade waits for him to take the initiative to attack and lays a defensive trap for him.

However, Felix couldn't escape at this time, even if he was blocked or interfered, he had to complete the attack himself.

"Felix, don't force yourself." Oscar came over to comfort Felix and said, "If it doesn't work, pass the ball to us."

Felix nodded lightly, but didn't make a sound. At this moment, he didn't even hear what Oscar said clearly, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to respond to Wade.

Wade's defensive posture is not at all an attitude towards rookies, he is very serious about defending.

Felix was very cautious when dribbling. Wade's stealing and blocking skills had been taught in previous matches. If he was not careful, he would be stolen, so this time Felix paid attention in every possible way.

Facing Wade, any fancy maneuvers are useless. Felix also omitted it directly and chose to hit directly. His first attack was directly resolved by Wade and he was blocked. He had to make a second attempt.
