Chapter 647 G2 - Blacksmithing
G2, arrived as scheduled.

After the Heat defended the first home game, they are even more eager to win the second game. They hope to go to the away game in Los Angeles with a big score of "2-0", which will give them sufficient confidence in their away game.

After the Lakers lost the last game, they deeply reflected on the reasons for the loss in the team's resumption stage. James' unreasonable use was the main reason for the Lakers' loss.

"Brothers, we must win the second game today. If you lose, you know what it means." Wade mobilized before the game.

"If we lose, we will lose the home court advantage for the remaining games." Mu Chenfeng replied, this is also the subtlety of the "2-2-1-1-1" competition system. If the team cannot win two home games in a row, they will be at a disadvantage.

The home field advantage in the finals is still very important. Among all the championships in NBA history, 80% of the teams were won by the team with the home field advantage after the first two games.

James hit three consecutive three-pointers in the middle circle during the warm-up before the game, showing an extremely fiery touch to the Heat fans in the audience. This is by no means good news for the Heat. Mu Chenfeng was eager to respond to James' shots and also tried to shoot in the middle circle, but all three of his shots missed the basket.

"Mu Chenfeng doesn't seem to be in a good state today." The fans started discussing Mu Chenfeng's missed shot.

"You can't say that. It's a mid-circle shot. It's not easy to make a shot. Besides, mid-circle shooting is not what Mu Chenfeng is good at. His shooting range is mid-to-long distance."

"You're right, aren't you trying to spoil your own prestige with others' aspirations? I believe we still win today."

In the discussion, people who choose to believe in Mu Chenfeng still account for the majority, and that kind of shot that is full of chance does not explain any problems.

But Mu Chenfeng himself didn't think so. In his opinion, he didn't respond to James in a timely manner, and he was already behind James in this respect.

"Why can't I see your response?" James came in front of Mu Chenfeng. He knew that Mu Chenfeng was very concerned about this matter, and deliberately teased him.

Mu Chenfeng didn't pay much attention to it, but there was a lot of energy in his heart.

After the Heat won Game 1, it took only 13 minute and [-] seconds for the tickets for Game [-] to be sold out, setting a record for the fastest time to sell tickets in the NBA Finals.

It is enough to see how high the Heat fans' expectations for the team are.

Before the game started, the Heat fans had already played "2-0".

"That score will never appear." James looked at the dazzling "2-0" and said calmly.

The whistle sounded and the game began.

Gaia took the lead in helping the Heat successfully harvest the first wave of offensive possessions in the jump ball competition with Raphael. It was a good start, and the Lakers quickly retreated.

Wade threw the ball to Mu Chenfeng who had already reached the threat area. The moment Mu Chenfeng received the ball, the Lakers' defense pressed up. At this time, according to the tactical arrangement, Mu Chenfeng should pass the ball to an open player on the outside.

"Little devil, do you really think that this level of offense can penetrate my defense?" Raphael still taunted after the block was over.

"Mu Chenfeng was too anxious to fight." Barrett said.

The Lakers seized the opportunity to switch offense and defense. Felix passed the ball directly to James who was about to go down with a long swing across the half court.

boom!
A heavy dunk that "destroyed" the basket scored the first score of the game.

Felix's passing awareness is getting better and better. He passed the ball completely without vision. It can be said that he passed it completely by feeling, but the pass was just right.

trust!Felix completely trusts James. He knows that no matter what kind of ball he passes, James can catch it. In fact, it is not how accurate his pass is, but James' excellent reaction ability makes the ball look "very accurate".

This ball has the demeanor of the Heat's "Janeway Connection".

"It's okay, take your time, don't rush." ​​Wade urged, most of what he said was to Mu Chenfeng, and his choice of shot was really bad.

Mu Chenfeng went straight to the front court as if he didn't hear him.

Wade still couldn't help giving the ball to Mu Chenfeng, because his position is really good, there is no player within two meters to defend, and if he catches the ball and makes a shot, it is a proper big open opportunity.

Mu Chenfeng's choice once again confused Wade and other players. He "gave up" the opportunity to shoot open, but chose to break through. This time difference allowed the Lakers' defense to make up for it. Mu Chenfeng encountered a double team again and suffered the loss of being blocked. But Mu Chenfeng was really affected, and his shot missed the basket. Gaia, who was facing Raphael, had just stabilized his position, and Raphael easily picked off a backcourt rebound without any confrontation.

"Mu Chenfeng's shot was too fast, I didn't even have a chance to grab a rebound." Gaia complained helplessly spreading his hand.

Mu Chenfeng's abnormal performance also attracted the attention of other players and the coaching staff, and everyone was guessing what made Mu Chenfeng so restless.

"Pause." Rondo made a "pause" gesture to the referee, and the game stopped immediately.

"Mu Chenfeng, what's wrong with you? You are not playing according to the tactics at all." Gaia said with a serious expression. Up to now, only Mu Chenfeng has been attacking alone, and the rest of his teammates have been running with him.

"Could it be the three balls that James shot in the middle circle?" Wade guessed, when he mentioned this, Mu Chenfeng's face became even uglier.

"It seems that I guessed right." Barrett echoed, "Mu Chenfeng, you have to understand that warm-up is warm-up, and the game is a game. You can't let the warm-up throw a few balls and affect your game rhythm."

Mu Chenfeng turned his head coldly, "Understood." After speaking, he walked towards the stadium.
