Chapter 684 G5-Sharp Response

"Isn't it really going to end like this?" Christine said slowly. Everyone in the training camp is also paying close attention to this game. Although this year's finals is not over yet, it is still the most exciting finals duel in recent years in terms of the strength of both sides. The campers really don't want the game to end so soon.

Seeing such an anxious situation, Louis had the most mixed feelings. He knew James too well, and he also knew what he likes to do most, which is to win away games.

Now that the Lakers have taken the lead in the situation, James will try to keep the advantage until the end, and then hold their carnival at the American Airlines Center.

The so-called killing and punishing the heart is nothing more than this.

"It's going to be hard for the Heat to come back."

"It's a pity. Sure enough, perfect things don't exist. With such a good record in the regular season, it is doomed not to win the championship in the finals."

Similar voices kept ringing in Louis' ears, which made him a little uneasy, so he went outside to get some air.

Alice followed, and seeing her father's uneasy look, she asked, "Is the Heat really hopeless?"

Louis sighed, "It's not impossible, but it depends on whether their determination to win is strong enough. At this time, even the slightest wavering in their hearts will make the situation more difficult."

Determination is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does affect the key to the outcome of the game.

Both big and small scores are very unfavorable to the Heat, and there is not much game time left. Multiple pressures are a bigger test than the Lakers themselves.

In this almost desperate situation, it is inevitable that people will have a shake in confidence, and this shake is directly reflected in the performance of the players on the field. The Heat's offense has obvious faults, and even mistakes that are well controlled throughout the game have appeared.

Barrett and Crowder's passing and receiving cooperation was seen through by the opponent, and they successfully completed a steal and counterattack, allowing James to complete a split dunk with an extremely exaggerated gliding distance.

This dunk was so powerful that the basket buzzed.

Every time the Lakers scored, they were one step closer to the championship. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by double digits.

From the perspective of the situation, the probability of the Lakers winning the game is very high, and during the break, the league staff began to prepare for the "championship ceremony", cordoning off the auditorium and the court, and wiping the championship trophy and the Fmvp trophy to ensure that they are completely free of any flaws.

If the Lakers can win the championship, then there will be no suspense about the ownership of the FMVP. James will have his third "championship + FMVP" and become the 10th player in history to achieve such an achievement.

James can't wait to let the game end quickly and let himself win the third championship trophy.

Achievements such as the triple crown + 3FMVP + 3MVP will greatly improve James' historical status, and he can even be directly ranked in the top 5 of the Lakers' history.

The Heat's players turned their backs on the staff. This is the arrangement of the head coach Rondo. He does not want the team to be affected by other foreign environments at such a critical juncture.

Rondo was the only member of the Heat who faced those arrangements, and he endured all the pressure silently.

During the inter-section break, Rondo didn't mention the words "championship" or "finals" at all, but concentrated on completing his tactical arrangement without a word of extraneous words.

"The most important thing now is to improve the quality of our defense. The finals are all about defense and limiting the opponent's scoring. Whichever team is stricter, whichever team can win." The Heat have always been a team that emphasizes defensive strength. Just now they did not let the fans feel the oppression of their defense.

"Defend, hit the success rate, and cause damage. I don't ask for a lot of points. As long as I can score, I can do it in any way." Rondo also raised his tone, hoping to wake up the Heat.

The Heat's defensive efficiency before the finals has always been the first in the league. They can limit the opponent's scoring average to less than 90 points per game, but in the finals, they allowed the Lakers to average 112.2 points per game.

With such a defensive efficiency, it is a bit reluctant to win the Lakers.

At the end of the timeout, Rondo emphasized the main core tactic of "defensive counterattack" when the players returned to the field.

"Defensive counterattack" tactics are generally common in football fields, but the "defensive counterattack" tactics on basketball courts are much more common than those on football fields.

"Let's defend against one first." Wade is still the core of the defensive formation, and they put on a "zone defense" again.

After seeing the Heat's defensive formation, the Lakers players couldn't help laughing. The Heat's zone defense had been shattered before, but they didn't expect them to have the courage to put on such a defensive formation.

"I'll challenge you." Oscar asked for a fight.

The Heat's zone defense didn't make any changes in the formation, and everyone was still in their positions. This gave Oscar a lot of confidence. It was obvious to all how bad the Heat's zone defense was just now. It's really incomprehensible that they still resorted to failed tactics at such a critical moment.

Oscar tried to break through the Heat's zone defense, but at the moment he activated it, he discovered the difference in this zone defense. The timing of Mu Chenfeng's help defense was advanced. The moment the player with the ball broke through, Mu Chenfeng's help defense was already in place.

Oscar's offense was suppressed before it started up, forcing him to pass the ball to others, but at the same time as he made the shot, Mu Chenfeng also returned to his original defensive position.

The timing of Mu Chenfeng's two movements was almost the same as that of the attacker, which required a very sharp reaction to do so.

"The reaction has become sharper." In Mu Chenfeng's eyes, the opponent's movements and the speed of the basketball have slowed down a lot, which allowed him to make accurate predictions in advance.

Just as Felix was about to drop the ball after receiving the ball, Mu Chenfeng suddenly took a step forward and slapped the ball away before it hit the ground, forming a defensive counterattack. The Lakers couldn't react at all, including James, who were all stunned in place, watching Mu Chenfeng complete the windmill dunk with one step from the free throw line. Mu Chenfeng's dunk movement was very stretched, dancing lightly like a ballet dancer in the air.

"The game is not over yet." After dunking, Mu Chenfeng shot back domineeringly.
