Chapter 513 Lore in Los Angeles

The ball was missed, but the referee's whistle blew. Mu Chenfeng caused a foul and got two free throws.

Calling a foul under such circumstances is a rare thing. At the last moment of the game, it should be the players who resolve the game themselves, rather than the referee stepping up to grab the limelight. Moreover, Oscar's hands were very clear just now, and he did not have any physical contact with Mu Chenfeng. Oscar even jumped up excitedly, covering his head with his hands, feeling incredible about such an "unfair" penalty, and asked the referee to watch the replay of the video to re-evaluate.

But the answer given by the referee was: "No need." Because the foul was not Oscar at all, but Rodell, another forward player of the Lakers.

After seeing Oscar being suppressed by Mu Chenfeng, Rodel stretched out his hand at the last second and touched Mu Chenfeng's body.

Even so, the Lakers still won the opportunity to watch the video, but the referee upheld the original verdict after watching the video.

In the NBA arena, the referee has the highest authority on the court, and as long as the penalty for a foul is made, the penalty will not be changed, and this ball is not a misjudgment, and the result of the penalty given by the referee in an instant is extremely correct.

Leading by one point, the opponent has two chances of free throws. In the remaining time, he can't even make a complete attack. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Lakers. If only one of the two free throws is hit, the two teams still have a chance to enter overtime. But if Mu Chenfeng makes both free throws, he will complete the lore against the Lakers.

It’s not all bad news for the Lakers, after all, they are still the leading team, and this kind of winning free throw is quite difficult, which will be a great test for the mental quality of the free throw executor. If you make a free throw, you will win, and if you don’t make it, you will lose. The burden on Mu Chenfeng is very heavy.

In order to relieve Mu Chenfeng's nervousness, Rondo specially used up the team's last timeout opportunity for him. The whole team provided emotional counseling for Mu Chenfeng, hoping that he could walk to the free throw line with a normal heart. With his free throw level, he can make shots with normal performance.

Mu Chenfeng also knew the meaning of these two free throws, which was related to creating a winning streak, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

"What's going on?" Mu Chenfeng's hands have never shaken so much before. For a shooter, shaking hands is undoubtedly fatal, and it will affect the stability of shooting. But at such a critical moment, Mu Chenfeng, who never shakes his hands, also trembled.

"Are you nervous?" Mu Chenfeng asked himself in his heart, but his mind was still clear. Although he was under pressure, he didn't feel nervous. Instead, he was full of confidence in these two free throws.

As long as two free throws are hit, history can be created. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as worth a thousand dollars, and this is what Mu Chenfeng is good at.

Mu Chenfeng walked up to the free throw line with slow steps. Players from the two teams stood on both sides of the free throw line. They all looked at Mu Chenfeng expectantly, but the two teams said that they expected different results. The Heat expected Mu Chenfeng to make the ball, and the Lakers expected Mu Chenfeng to miss the free throw.

The audience at home tried their best to interfere with Mu Chenfeng's free throw, especially the audience directly behind the basket, sitting directly opposite Mu Chenfeng, they used all kinds of funny moves, air sticks and other things to interfere with him.

This is the away treatment that the league's top super giants deserve, and now they use it on a rookie.

"Be more violent." Mu Chenfeng heard the noisy voices lingering in his ears and the dazzling waving in front of his eyes. Instead of feeling disturbed, he enjoyed it instead, and felt that this level of disturbance was not enough to affect him.

"I want the entire Staples to fall into dead silence." Mu Chenfeng's complexion was iron, he adjusted his breathing, and signaled the referee to pass the ball to himself.

The moment his hands touched the basketball, his trembling hands suddenly stopped trembling. At this moment, he was absolutely sure that the trembling just now was not from nervousness but from excitement, the excitement from the heart.

Mu Chenfeng is a natural competitor, and his desire for victory is stronger than anyone else, so when he faced the chance to win, his terrifying desire to win was almost overwhelming. He never thought that he would miss the shot, and he only thought about winning.

Everyone waited with bated breath, waiting for the result to appear.

Mu Chenfeng patted the ball and adjusted it twice, joined the ball with a firm expression, exhaled lightly, raised his hand, sent the ball, moved the ball, and shot. He was just completing the movements he had done tens of thousands of times. The basketball flew across the air like a jumping elf. After a light dance, it fell into the basket.

The score is tied! ! !All members of the Heat team breathed a sigh of relief, at least now they have guaranteed that they will "not lose" and there is still a chance for overtime.

Overtime?It wasn't what Mu Chenfeng wanted. What he wanted was a straightforward victory. Before the victory and the record, he didn't want to wait a second longer.

Therefore, his second shot was obviously more decisive and quicker than the first one. It may be that he relieved a certain amount of psychological pressure after hitting the first ball. Mu Chenfeng executed the second free throw just like his usual free throws. Now it is the turn of the Lakers to hang up.

It takes less than a second for the basketball to be in the air, but for the Lakers, this process is too long.

Perhaps, when Mu Chenfeng made a move, they had already anticipated the result, but they just didn't want to face it.

When Mu Chenfeng hit the first free throw, the Lakers knew that the scale of the Goddess of Victory had tilted extremely seriously, and they were the side that was lifted high. The first free throw was the most stressful and the easiest to miss. When the first free throw was made, it would bring a huge boost to the self-confidence of the free thrower. That's why the expressions on the faces of the Lakers players were so disappointed and lonely.

shuh~
After Mu Chenfeng made the second free throw, the Lakers and the audience all sighed. They worked hard for the whole game, but they still lost in the end.

"There's still time!" James was the only one who didn't give up. After Mu Chenfeng executed the second free throw, there were 0.2 seconds left in the game. For a player of James' level, the game is not over until the time reaches zero.

James called his teammates to quickly serve the baseline ball, and he had already run near the center line. His teammate gave the ball to James with a long throw. Immediately, the nerves of the Heat players all tensed up. In their view, the game was over, so they did not carry out follow-up defense, which gave James a chance to catch the ball easily.

James easily received the basketball without any defense, and shot directly without excessive stoppage. After the basketball experienced a high and far flight trajectory, it suddenly fell into the net!

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, and only James could complete such a shot.

However, the Lakers didn't have any celebrations, and they all focused their attention on the referee. I saw the referee gesturing with his hands in front of him while blowing the whistle for the end of the game.

"Overtime shot, the goal is invalid!"

The time of 0.2 seconds is far lower than the minimum shooting time, so James made the shot after the time was up. Although the goal is beautiful, it cannot be counted as a score.

The Heat took the risk and "grabbed" the team's "28th consecutive victory" from the hands of the Lakers and James.
