Chapter 711 Keeping a Safe Distance
In the first 3 minutes, the score of the two sides is still 0:0! ! !

The Heat were 5 for 0 and the Lakers were 4 for 0.

The stalemate in the score is definitely not the offense of the two teams, but the defense.

Although the offensive performance is enough to be described as squishy, ​​the defensive attitude shown by these two teams to the audience is also exciting.

Basketball is not limited to offense, and excellent defense is also an important part of it.

In the many "tie-break games" in history, there are very few high-score situations, because this is the most important game of the season, which is related to the championship.

"The team with the better defense wins!!!"

It's no secret anymore.

Whoever can break the scoring shortage first will have a certain dominant advantage in the subsequent games.

Mu Chenfeng rushed to the basket in the team's sixth offense, causing Felix's defensive foul and standing on the free throw line.

It was the first time to play in the finals, coupled with such an intense confrontation, Mu Chenfeng hadn't found his shooting touch for a long time, which caused his first free throw to miss the basket, and it was outrageous.

Wade and Barrett are indeed veterans in the league for many years, with rich experience. After Mu Chenfeng missed the first ball, they immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear, while Mu Chenfeng kept nodding, absorbing the advice given to him by his big brothers.

At 4 minutes and 21 seconds, Mu Chenfeng made some adjustments and hit the second free throw, which was also the first point scored by the two teams.

In a trance, the Heat and the Lakers created an NBA tiebreaker record, the longest scoring drought at the beginning.

When the game feels bad, the best way is to stand on the free throw line and adjust the feel through free throws without anyone interfering.

James signaled the players to test the Heat's inside line, as long as anyone receives the ball, he will hit the penalty area as soon as possible.

The sudden impact received miraculous effects. The Heat's center Gaia lost two fouls in just one minute, and the Lakers scored three points with four free throws.

It was a well-targeted foul, and the Lakers targeted Gaia, the Heat's most reliable interior mainstay, from the start.

"The situation is not good." Wade turned his head to look at Rondo on the sidelines, indicating whether he needs to replace Gaia. If Gaia falls into a foul crisis early, it will deal a considerable blow to the Heat. Without Gaia's guard, the Lakers can do whatever they want in the Heat's restricted area more recklessly.

Rondo shook his head lightly. He didn't intend to replace Gaia. Even at the risk of fouling, he still wanted to put him on the court.

Mu Chenfeng walked to Gaia's side and told him a few words, Gaia nodded.What an "outrageous" picture, a "league veteran" being "educated" by a first-year rookie.

"The Heat are really stubborn. They didn't replace him even after two fouls." Oscar said puzzled.

"Continue to kill him and see how long he can last." James asked the team to continue the previous tactics.

Gaia is only one foul away from "end of the field". If he "successfully" gets his third foul, then he will not be seen in the entire first half.

"Leave it to me." Rafael asked to kill Gaia, and the big centers of the two teams were about to confront each other head-on.

"Give it to him," James said.

Raphael was on the inside, Gaia pushed up, and the former opened his hands for the ball.

"You can't let him pass the ball into the penalty area." Wade roared, sensing the crisis.

Mu Chenfeng tried his best to interfere with Felix's pass, but his pass passed his fingertips, and the basketball fell steadily into Raphael's hands.

Rafael sneered, "It's a pity, I wanted to have a hearty fight with you, but for the sake of the championship, you have to end."

Raphael clarified the team's tactics, which is to defeat the Heat's inside line. To be precise, defeating Gaia is equivalent to defeating the Heat's inside line.

Rafael attacked the basket with his back and leaned on Gaia with his generous front, but the resistance he received was obviously different from before, much smaller.

"I didn't expect you to be timid at times." Raphael sneered, "That's not okay, I got points easily."

While taunting, Raphael put all his strength on Gaia's body. With a weight of more than 200 catties, he was very powerful. Gaia, who is also a top insider, did not lose to Rafael in terms of strength, but in the case of a foul, the "gap" between the two appeared.

Gaia was pressed to the basket by Rafael little by little, and Rafael successfully entered his strong area.

"It's boring not being able to fight against the real you, but I won't let go." Raphael drove his body and rushed towards Gaia with all his strength.

Suddenly, Rafael's body lost his balance, and his huge body fell to the floor with a powerful impact, and the entire court trembled violently.

"Doo!!! The ball is out of bounds!!!" The referee whistled and pointed at the backcourt, giving the Heat the ball.

On the side, Gaia was looking down at Raphael on the floor with contemptuous eyes, "Strength and strength are two different things."

The Heat instigated a counterattack and immediately formed a "5 on 4" frontcourt situation. Gaia passed the basketball to Mu Chenfeng who was open in the corner after several passes. The Lakers' defense was completely stretched and could not interfere with his shot.

"It was a good fight." Mu Chenfeng and Gaia high-fived each other, and the attack and defense of the two were wonderful.

The cautious Lakers immediately applied for a timeout. As the players walked back to the rest area, James had already started scolding Raphael, "Why don't you implement the tactics as I said, so simple withdrawal of chairs can be fooled."

Just as James said, if Rafael had not insisted on crushing Gaia with strength just now, but had adjusted his rhythm slightly to cause damage, he would not have fallen into the trap of withdrawing the chair, and the Heat would not have fought back. Now it is the Lakers who are taking the initiative.

But because of Raphael's insistence on going his own way, everything backfired.

"Next time, kill Gaia." James "ordered".

Raphael, who returned to the game, was much calmer. He didn't dare to mess around. Not only did his opponents not want to mess with James, but his teammates did the same.

Felix gave the ball to Raphael again. In exactly the same situation, Gaia defended against Raphael, and Raphael's strength was obviously much weaker.

"Changed tactics?" Gaia thought secretly.

Raphael turned to face the frame and attack, making a fake shot. Gaia met the interference. Just a moment before the two met, Gaia suddenly retracted his hand and put his back behind him. Raphael easily scored the ball.

Raphael, who scored the goal, was not very happy. His original intention was to cause Gaia to foul, but he was seen through.

"It's dangerous." Gaia let out a sigh of relief, "I almost fell for it."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you keep a safe distance from him, their plot will never succeed." The confident expression on Mu Chenfeng's face is intriguing.
