Chapter 598 Towards the match point
Doing simple things repeatedly will eventually become a "specialty".

Mu Chenfeng has repeatedly polished the middle-distance technique in training, and he has already perfected it.

"It turns out that this is the reason why he has been concealing that he is accurate in the middle distance." The teammates suddenly realized that Mu Chenfeng would train on the middle distance every time in training, but he rarely used it in competitions.

It's not that he can't use it, but he doesn't want to use it. He keeps the middle distance as his trump card and only uses it in key games.

The Heat, which has taken a 2-0 lead, is only 2 victories away from the finals. The first two games have proved that they are not a team that is always easy to deal with. In the NBA, there are many series that lead 2-0 and have been overturned.

In a series that falls behind 3-0, the probability of a comeback is only 1.8%.

Therefore, Mu Chenfeng decided to use his trump card in the third round to "end" the suspense of the series.

There is a saying in the NBA: CIC cannot kill the game.

But Mu Chenfeng fully proved how lethal the middle distance is.

After hitting 5 mid-range shots in the first quarter, Mu Chenfeng continued his fiery touch in the second quarter and hit 1 mid-range shot again in the opening game, but this time he completed it in the face of a double-team player.

Obviously, the Nets made arrangements for Mu Chenfeng's defense during the break, but Mu Chenfeng still threw the ball in. Sometimes in front of the fiery touch, any defense was useless.

"Damn it, I can't defend it." The defensive player sighed helplessly.

"Swap me." Chaos asked to switch to Mu Chenfeng.

"But what about Barrett?" the teammate asked.

"I can be together." Chaos said coldly. It was not hard to hear from his tone that he was very disappointed with his teammates' performance on the defensive end. "The other party is just a rookie."

Mu Chenfeng is indeed a rookie, but he is not an ordinary rookie.

After Chaos switched defense to Mu Chenfeng, it did bring a lot of obstacles to his offense, but Mu Chenfeng is not a person who likes to make a fuss, and when his offense is blocked, he assists his teammates.

When Chaos switched to him, Barrett's defensive pressure would definitely drop a lot, so Mu Chenfeng looked for Barrett's position in the crowd. Sure enough, Barrett's defender was one meter away from him, which was a very comfortable space for passing the ball.

The moment Mu Chenfeng hit the ball, suddenly a familiar big hand came out from the line and blocked the ball.

"I want to pass the ball, have you asked me?" Chaos made a handsome shot to steal it.

"I was seen through." Mu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment. Today's Chaos is far more difficult to deal with than the previous two games. He can even predict the pass accurately.

Kaos quickly launched a counterattack, and all the Heat immediately returned to defense. Just when everyone's defense was shrinking towards the inside, Kaos made a sudden stop, passed five people, and joined the ball with his feet above the three-point line.

Everyone's eyes are on the basketball as it moves through the air, and they're all ready to protect the backboard.

"Shoot open, I won't miss it." Before the ball was scored, Kaos had already started to turn around.

Swish! ! !
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the basketball fell into the basket.

"This kind of training-like shooting is simply too easy." Chaos did not forget to ridicule, after all, it was a "five in a flash", a gold-rich attack.

Although Kaos's performance is still strong, the Heat still have the upper hand in terms of points, and since Kaos hit that three-pointer, the Heat's team seems to have changed their team, and the state is more focused.

"What a terrible execution." Louis was impressed by the integrity shown by the Heat. They completed this collective transformation without any communication.

Barrett tried his best to create troubles for Chaos on the defensive end, which caused his physical strength to be consumed at an accelerated rate. After a few rounds, Mu Chenfeng could clearly feel that Chaos's movement speed had gradually slowed down. Although outsiders could not see his physical problems, as an opponent, Mu Chenfeng could not be more clear about Chaos' state.

Mu Chenfeng held the ball from the three-point line and greeted his teammates for a pick-and-roll. Claude lifted up and inserted from the left side of the defender. Mu Chenfeng made a breakthrough, and Kaos turned around and hit Claude directly.

"Is the consumption too much?" Chris frowned, today's game is particularly critical, and no part can go wrong, so he asked.

Chaos didn't speak, but just shook his head, put his hands on his knees, sweat kept dripping on the floor, and shattered into countless petals.

"Don't hold on, there is still a lot of game time." Chris said.

Chaos rejected the suggestion of taking a break. Only he can limit Mu Chenfeng and Barrett. His exit is equivalent to giving the opponent a chance to widen the point difference.

"I can." Chaos said, but his legs were trembling unconsciously.

"We can't do without you." Chris patted Chaos on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to us first, we'll wait for you to come back."

Chaos scanned his teammates, and only Chris was more reliable. He really didn't trust his teammates' abilities, but Chris's suggestion was correct. The real decisive victory came in the second half. As long as Chris and others kept the point difference within a recoverable range, Chaos would have the confidence to lead his team to win the game.

"Okay." Chaos agreed to Chris's suggestion, turned around and walked off the court.

Kaos' "exit" made Mu Chenfeng breathe a sigh of relief, "He is still quite difficult to deal with." Without Kaos, the Nets have dropped by more than one level on both offense and defense.

This is a good opportunity for the Heat to widen the point difference. In order to make better use of the time when Chaos is not on the court, the Heat also called a timeout to arrange a "snowball" tactic.

"By winning this game, we will gain the match point of this round of the series, so everyone must take this opportunity to widen the point difference." Wade said.

If the series reaches "3-0", the Heat will hold three match points.

"Mu Chenfeng feels good today. We all try our best to pass the ball into his hands. Gaia and Claude are always ready to put up screens. If necessary, we can do double screens. With Mu Chenfeng's hands, he probably doesn't need to grab rebounds."

Wade's words expressed his absolute trust in Mu Chenfeng. Several bigwigs in the team "agreed" to the suggestion of playing for a rookie, which made Mu Chenfeng flattered.
