Chapter 637 G1 (Seven)
This is the stalemate that the finals should have.

The super high intensity of the game causes the players on both sides to consume different degrees of physical fitness, but this can also clearly see the difference between ordinary players and stars.

Williams had only played a few rounds in place of Mu Chenfeng, and he was already out of breath. However, James, Wade and others played longer and consumed more energy, but they did not show similar reactions to Williams. On the contrary, they played better and better.

"Aren't they all tired?" Su Mengyao just felt a little suffocated by the unimaginable intensity while watching the game from the sidelines, but the players running on the field showed a very relaxed state.

Rondo let out a sigh of relief, "Of course they are tired, they just can't show it."

The Finals is a long series, and the intensity runs from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. Such a long and high intensity is unbearable for any player. The end of the game is a competition of players' willpower. Whichever side is more determined will be closer to the championship.

It is precisely because of the particularity of the finals that players must allocate their physical energy more reasonably. For some important rotation players, it is normal to play for more than 35 minutes, and the playing time of core players even needs to reach more than 40 minutes.

So far in this game, 4 players have played the entire half, James and Oscar of the Lakers, Barrett and Gaia of the Heat, and the rest of the players have more or less got a short rest.

Returning to the locker room at halftime, the Heat replayed the halftime game and corrected some mistakes made by the players.

There is a big difference between Rondo and other coaches in terms of coaching. Many coaches only look for the mistakes of the team during the break, and then let the players correct them, but few people discover the strengths of the players. Compared with the shortcomings, Rondo pays more attention to the strengths of the players in the game, and encourages them to the greatest extent.

The 1-point gap is obviously not a problem for the two teams, and the Lakers don't feel that they are the leading side. If they want to ensure the victory of the game, they must continue to expand the gap.

Blake Lee came to the locker room during the timeout of the team and listened closely to the voices of the coaching staff and players. He sincerely admired Rondo's coaching ability, which is different from the devil coaching like Pat Riley and Scola. He can inspire the strength of the players.

During the intermission, the NBA officially announced the final candidate for the regular season MVP of this season. James defeated Wade and Chris to win the regular season MVP trophy for the third time, and he won the MVP in the two previous seasons.

Stronger than Michael Jordan and LeBron James have never done it.

After missing the MVP, Wade was somewhat depressed emotionally. This is the second time he has lost to James in the MVP selection.

"It's really not the time to announce this news." The Heat complained, "The league is deliberately targeting us."

The honor of "MVP" is second only to the championship in the league. Some people even say: there will be many people who win the championship every year, but there is only one MVP.It is enough to see the gold content of MVP in the hearts of players.

It is impossible for anyone to remain calm after losing the MVP. Besides, this is the second time Wade has lost to James. This somewhat makes Wade feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. He sits in a corner by himself, trying to calm down his emotions.

"Is the captain okay?" The teammates asked worriedly.

No one dared to bother Wade.

"I hope it doesn't affect the game." Now is the critical period of the game, the Heat must bite the score in the second half, if there is a problem with Wade, the Heat will suffer a major blow.

Just when the Heat hadn't fully recovered from the blow of "missing the MVP", the league actually announced the "best lineup".

Wade appeared in the first team as he wished, but this cannot make up for the regret of missing the MVP, but the Heat are relieved that Wade is not alone in the first team. Another player of the Heat, Gaia, also appeared in the center position for a while.

Gaia, who played the role of "single core" in the Wizards, is undoubtedly the mainstay of that team. Naturally, his statistics are much better, but as he joins the Heat, he no longer needs to play so many roles in the team, which also caused his statistics to drop. However, he obviously feels that playing in the Heat is much easier than playing in the Wizards. There is a slight drop in statistics, but he plays very easily and really enjoys it.

Best Team First Team: Wade (Heat), James (Lakers), Gaia (Heat), Chriss (Nets), Wilkins (76ers).

Wilkins of the 76ers was selected to the best team for the first time.

Not only that, Barrett entered the best second team, and Raphael of the Lakers is also on this list.

What is surprising is that Mu Chenfeng also appeared on this list. He appeared as the shooting guard of the best third team. It is surprising that a first-year rookie can break into this list.

This news gave the Heat a shot in the arm that had just been hit. Four members of the team were selected to the best team at the same time. This is also very rare in the history of the NBA.

"En." Rondo looked at the list and nodded in satisfaction. The players selected were similar to what he expected, but Wilkins was selected for the first round, which surprised him, but his guesses for other players were pretty close. Many people from the Heat would be selected, and he even guessed that Mu Chenfeng would be selected.

"You have all seen it." Rondo said to the players, "We have a lot more candidates for the best team than the Lakers, which proves that our strength is far above them, so we can only win this game."
