Chapter 511 The result of hard work

have?Felix didn't expect that he would break through so smoothly. To be precise, it was too smooth. Wade did not show the defensive level that "defensive for a while" should have at all.

Felix even took a glance at Wade's position from the corner of his eye. He was already two positions away from him. In theory, this position was completely thrown away.

Felix heaved a sigh of relief. Passing Wade was the most difficult hurdle. Mu Chenfeng and Barrett had already been dragged out of the distance by James and Oscar, and the remaining defenders in front of them were not Felix's opponents at all. It was not difficult to get points easily.

"Is this distance really safe?" James said hello in his heart. With Wade's defensive speed, he can always play unexpected defensive effects.

Felix took off and lifted his body off the ground.

"It's now!" Wade suddenly accelerated. Although he took off behind Felix, under the blessing of speed, he quickly narrowed the distance between the two in the air, and slapped the ball with one hand before the basketball touched the basket.

Felix looked astonished. What a terrifying defensive power this is. He was two full positions ahead, but was chased back by Wade in an instant.

The duel between the Big Three came to an end with Miami's victory.

This block directly caused a huge shadow in Felix's heart, "It turns out that this is the real strength of the defense!"

Bruce Wade also relied on this block to make his regular season blocks reach 427, successfully squeezed into the top ten in the guard block list, and also reached 91 blocks in a single season, surpassing James, ranking 7th, and the 6 players before him are all inside players.

The momentum of the Heat has gradually returned to a level comparable to that of the Lakers, and the Lakers' lead is no longer obvious.

The Heat were able to catch up with the points, thanks to the joint performance of the Big Three, and the three scored in double digits. The thing that the Lakers were most worried about happened.

Mu Chenfeng completed the steal and passed the ball to Wade, who assisted Barrett with a flying dunk.

After the Big Three completed a perfect match, the two teams returned to the same score again.

Felix has been in a state of sleepwalking since he was blocked by Wade. When facing Wade, he performed very badly both offensively and defensively. This made the head coach have to temporarily replace him to adjust his state.

This is a very timely substitution adjustment. Replacing Felix before his confidence completely collapses is also the first protection for the team. After all, this is only a regular season, and the final stage of the two teams is the finals. If Felix is ​​defeated at this time, it is very likely to affect his performance in the finals.

Felix is ​​an important link for the Lakers to finally win the cup. Although his role is not outstanding when he and James are on the court at the same time, when James rests, the burden of team organization still falls on him. After all, James is also a flesh and blood body, and it is impossible to play every game.

Felix is ​​an important training candidate for the Lakers at the No. [-] position. His golf quotient and reading of the game are still very good, but he has not fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game, and it is easy to lose himself because of a certain ball.

After being replaced, Felix did not greet anyone, but completely covered his head with a towel, expressing his dissatisfaction with his performance on the field with such an attitude.

This "gathering" of UCLA's three cores, and he could only sit on the sidelines as a spectator and "watch the game", at this time Felix felt unwilling in every way.

"The gap is getting bigger and bigger." Looking at Mu Chenfeng and himself now, Felix has really been surpassed. The "third choice" who ranks behind him and Oscar in the team is now far superior to himself.

In terms of talent, Felix’s talent is far higher than Mu Chenfeng’s. First of all, as an American player, he is doomed to have a higher basketball talent than Mu Chenfeng. Felix, who grew up in an American basketball environment, should be able to adapt to NBA games faster than Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng is a typical example of trying to beat talent. He spends more time with basketball than anyone else. Even on days when there is no ball to play, he is still studying tactics and game videos. Rondo helped him develop this habit.

Including today's opponent, the Lakers, Mu Chenfeng also conducted a detailed analysis of the opponent before the game, compared the strength of the two sides, and came to the conclusion that the game will only be decided in the fourth quarter.

And there are only two outcomes, either a slight difference between 1 point and 3 points, or a certain team plays a wave of offensive climax and directly takes away the game with a big score.

"The fourth quarter is the most critical." Mu Chenfeng said to his teammates, "It's not just the last 5 minutes, I mean the entire fourth quarter."

By observing the video, Mu Chenfeng found that the Lakers often played a very subtle and fast offense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then widened the gap, and then snowballed, turning the advantage into a victory.

Therefore, Mu Chenfeng specially reminded his teammates to do a good job of defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, so as not to be played by the Lakers to their favorite rhythm of the game.

Mu Chenfeng's reminder was very necessary, and it was exactly what Rondo wanted to say, but he didn't expect Mu Chenfeng to really complete the "video task" he assigned him very well, and summed up the core points from it.

Rondo nodded slightly. As the head coach, although Mu Chenfeng said his words first, he still wanted to express his thoughts, "Well, Mu Chenfeng is right."

All the players were stunned, because of the relationship between their personalities, Rondo was always unique and unexpected in tactics, and rarely fully agreed with the players' opinions, because it was often difficult for players to fully control the situation of the game, but he showed complete agreement with Mu Chenfeng.

As expected, the Lakers did launch a wave of fierce offensive at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Heat had already taken precautions, so the Lakers' offensive did not achieve the expected effect, and the Heat did not suffer any "losses".

The Lakers' "battle plan" was seen through, and the head coach had to call a timeout to re-arrange.

Pressing the Lakers' first wave of offense, the Heat narrowly escaped, "You really have it." The teammates were full of praise for Mu Chenfeng's "reminder".

"It's nothing, it's just that I watched too many videos." Mu Chenfeng responded modestly.

"No, this is the result of hard work." Long Duo patted Mu Chenfeng on the shoulder.
