Chapter 619 Useless People
Although Oled and Mu Chenfeng are both rookies in the same class, there is a big gap in draft picks and talents.

The encounter between the No. [-] pick and the second-round pick was originally nothing to watch, but due to Oled's outstanding performance in this game, this neglected rookie gradually became known to people.

It also made the first confrontation between the two quite interesting. This was the first time Mu Chenfeng and Olaide faced each other head-on. From the point of view of body size, the two were not at the same level at all. Olade was like a giant, standing in the depth of Mu Chenfeng, while Mu Chenfeng was testing his defense.

The reason why Mu Chenfeng said that it would take 5 minutes to get rid of Oled was entirely based on his foul habits. On average, he fouled once in less than 2 minutes, which made Mu Chenfeng full of confidence in making him foul.

On another field, the Los Angeles Lakers also ushered in the fourth game between the two sides in Dallas. In the first three games, the Lakers temporarily led 2-1. The Mavericks are eager to win this game and tie the big score. Otherwise, if the Lakers take a 3-1 lead, then this round of the series will become extremely difficult for the Dallas people.

The Lakers also want to return to Staples to end this round of the series. The Eastern Heat have already won the match point. If the Lakers continue to increase the number of games, they will be at a physical disadvantage. As everyone knows in the finals, the competition is who can stand at the end. Physical fitness is a very important factor for victory.

Therefore, in order to ensure sufficient physical fitness in the finals, the Lakers strictly limited the playing time of several core players, and all core game time was compressed to less than 30 minutes.

"The Lakers clearly didn't take us seriously." The Lakers' actions aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Dallas Mavericks and responded with an 18:5 offensive climax in the opening stage of the fourth game, putting the Lakers in a temporary predicament.

However, as the UCLA combination of Felix and Oscar played the best first quarter since joining the Lakers, the lead that the Lone Ranger had finally established was wiped out before the end of the first quarter.

Oscar shot 5% of 5 shots in the first quarter, including 100 three-pointers.

Felix also had 7 of 6 and scored 12 points.

The UCLA duo made 12 of 11 shots and scored a total of 24 points, shining in Dallas.

The Dallas native who is known for his defense has completely become a "joke", and his defense was torn apart by two rookies.

The core of the Lakers, James, only took 2 shots in the first quarter and hit 1 goal, but he sent a horrific 8 assists, and 8 of these 7 assists were given to Felix and Oscar.

The Lone Ranger was the winner in the first half of the quarter, and the Lakers were the kings in the second half. The two teams sent each other offensive climaxes, but obviously the Lakers had a stronger control over the game and gradually gained the initiative.

The performance of the team's two new cores was so amazing that the Lakers made more bold substitution adjustments. They simply put James on the bench and let Felix and Oscar lead the team.

The Lone Ranger team ushered in the best opportunity. Although Felix and Oscar are very capable, there is still a certain gap between them and James in terms of team leadership and leadership. Especially after encountering double-teams, the lack of James, a strong support point, made the Lakers' offense somewhat stagnant, and they still couldn't play smoothly.

This dilemma was not resolved until James returned in the third quarter, but at this time the Lakers were already 10 points behind their opponents.

In New York, Mu Chenfeng used a strong surprise layup to plunge the entire Brooklyn into a dead silence.

The layup missed, but caused Oled's defensive foul, and this was his fifth foul of the game.

It took only 3 minutes for Mu Chenfeng to turn on Oled's foul count. If he fouls again, he will leave the field with full fouls.

Obviously, Mu Chenfeng's goal in the past 3 minutes of attack was very clear, which was to cause damage to Oled, but his goal was not to score.

The dense fouls made Oled and the coaching staff very upset, but they couldn't replace him, because he played very well on the offensive end. Although he would always be fouled, he shot 4 of 3. Because of this, the coaching staff of the Nets chose to let him stay on the court when he was in foul trouble, and did not replace him in time.

"Five fouls and still not finished?"

"There's more than one quarter left in the game."

"Kidd's coaching ideas are really incomprehensible."

Seeing that Olaide continued to stay on the field, Mu Chenfeng's mouth showed a slight smugness.

"It seems that the tactics have worked." Wade said slowly.

"Of course, if there is no value, how could the Nets keep him on the court." Mu Chenfeng said lightly, all of this was just his plan.

Mu Chenfeng deliberately let the Heat's insiders "give up" some defenses against Oled when defending, allowing him to score easily and "enhancing" his field value. In this way, the Nets will choose to keep him on the court, even if they pay some fouls.

Generally speaking, if the main player of the team commits more than 4 fouls in the third quarter, the team will definitely choose to "protect" him and replace him to prepare for the next game. Mu Chenfeng cooperates with him to "magnify" Oled's value on the field in order to prevent the Nets from doing so.

"What a thoughtful guy." Wade couldn't help but feel a little scary about Mu Chenfeng's "black belly". Fortunately, such a guy is his teammate. If he stood on the opposite side of him, what a terrifying existence it would be.

Mu Chenfeng made two free throws steadily, and this wave of offense earned blood.

Oled knew that he was in foul trouble, and knew that the Heat would target him more in the future, so he paid attention to both ends of the offense and defense. He did not dare to use force when attacking, for fear of being caused by an offensive foul. He also intentionally avoided physical contact with the Heat players when grabbing rebounds, which greatly reduced his game value.

Mu Chenfeng rushed towards him again, and Oled chose to dodge when he was already in his position, but Mu Chenfeng hit an empty basket.

Kidd slammed the tactical board angrily at this behavior.

Mu Chenfeng also didn't expect Oled to be so concerned about his fouls, and the effect of keeping him on the field is far better than sending him off directly. In this way, he can't exert his full strength, and he has to stand in an inside position, killing two birds with one stone.

Now Oled is completely useless on the field, he is simply a useless person.
