Chapter 719 Final Boss
In terms of lineup, the Heat are completely ahead of the Lakers. Although the current Barrett cannot be called a "giant", he is still much stronger than the average player.

It took Oscar and Felix 3 minutes to tell James that they couldn't stop the Heat's counterattack now.

The lead was severely eroded, and the point difference returned to within 10 points in a blink of an eye.

"How can the captain sit on the bench steadily? If he doesn't come back, the game will be over." The Lakers struggled, they desperately wanted to see James stand up from the bench, but even though the Heat's counterattack was so fast, he still had no idea of ​​making an appearance.

"It's not the time yet." Felix replied, "He said he will come back and he will come back. Let's stick to it." Felix hopes that James can return to the game more than anyone else, but he also knows that James' physical consumption is more serious than expected when playing against Barrett. He still needs some time, but no one knows how long it will take.

"All we have to do is hold on to our advantage before he comes back." Oscar also became resolute.

After this wave of morale adjustments, the Lakers finally showed some energy, and the defensive end gradually became better. After the Heat scored 4 consecutive points-chasing goals, they finally used the zone defense to successfully limit an attack by the Lakers, and Oscar caused a foul by Wade in the defensive counterattack.

It has to be said that Oscar's offense this time was extremely decisive, ignoring Wade's close defense and going straight to the basket. A rookie who dared to challenge the defensive star so toughly for a while was indeed a bit courageous.

Oscar seized two free throw opportunities, scored the ball steadily, and took away two points.

The point difference once again came to double digits, which gave James, who was planning to return off the court, more time to rest.

For James, if he can rest for one more second off the court, the Lakers will be more sure of winning.

The team doctor around him kept testing James' physical condition.

"How long can I last?" James asked.

"It won't last long." The team doctor responded firmly, "With your current situation, you will definitely not be able to last until the end of the game. Such a high-intensity game will only last 3 minutes at most."

"3 minutes." James glanced at the timer. At this time, there are still 6 minutes before the end of the game, which means that he will have at least 3 minutes before he can play, and in these 3 minutes, the Heat are very likely to catch up with the score.

Suddenly, James felt a silence around his ears, as if everything had disappeared.

Looking back, Mu Chenfeng was celebrating with his teammates.

After Oscar caused Wade to foul, Mu Chenfeng gave his own response, storming Felix and causing "2+1".

Mu Chenfeng continued his excellent free throw touch and made an extra free throw.

Oscar's hard-won scores were instantly canceled out.

"The bite is really tight!" The Heat's chasing points led the Lakers a little too much, seeing the point difference getting smaller and smaller.

Under pressure, the players couldn't implement the head coach's game tactics at all. In addition, the Heat maintained a very high defensive intensity, and the Lakers were forced to play singles.

Oscar against Barrett!

This is the closest matchup Oscar can think of to score. Although Barrett returned, he did not perform well after returning to the game, and his presence was extremely low. This has a lot to do with his severe physical exertion.

Oscar was very active in the offense, constantly "testing" Barrett's defense with changes in rhythm, which somewhat disrupted Barrett's defensive rhythm and gave him room to shoot.

"Boy, it's not your turn to test me!" Suddenly, Barrett stretched out his long arms, completely blocking the angle of Oscar's shot.

Oscar was extremely shocked by this scene, "How is it possible? He can still jump so high!"

Although Oscar wanted to dodge the block in his mind, his body was out of control, and the ball he shot could not be recovered.

Snapped! ! !
The key block, completed by Barrett.

After completing the block, Barrett couldn't hide his excitement and excitement, and shook his finger towards the sky.

If it was on an ordinary occasion, the referee would not hesitate to give him a technical foul, but this time the referee obviously did not intend to destroy this classic scene, or the referee was also conquered by him and chose to turn a blind eye and the game continued.

Mu Chenfeng quickly stabilized the blocked basketball and led the Heat to quickly launch a counterattack.

The powerful momentum of the Heat's five tigers instantly overwhelmed the Lakers halftime, and the smooth pass was dazzling. In the end, Mu Chenfeng smashed the ball high into the backboard, and then flew away. Barrett, who was behind him, jumped up, and the height was just right to catch the basketball. He dunked the ball into the basket with both hands, and then landed smoothly.

This is Barrett's first point after his return, and he also chased the point difference to 5 points.

Barrett looked at James on the Lakers bench, as if he had written a "gauntlet".

This attack and defense completely destroyed the confidence of the entire Lakers team. The offensive end was even more restrained and they did not dare to make a move. As a result, the Heat defended against a "24-second violation", and the morale of the Heat reached its limit.

James couldn't sit still anymore, got up, and pulled off the towel off his body.

"No! You can't play now," the team doctor stopped.

James didn't pay any attention, but walked towards the midfield.

This was a full 2 ​​minutes earlier than he expected to pay.

"You are finally back." Mu Chenfeng looked at James who was slowly walking into the field, and he didn't feel pressure, but extremely excited.

Rather than saying that the Heat's opponent is the Lakers, it is better to say that their opponent is James.

The Lakers without James, even if they beat it, it doesn't make any sense, but when James comes back, everything is different.

The return of James undoubtedly gave the morale collapsed Lakers a shot in the arm, and the players also swept away the frustration on their faces. They knew that with James, they would have the confidence to defeat their opponents.

"Captain, I'm sorry." Oscar and Felix lowered their heads, from a lead of 20 points to the remaining 5 points, they have no "face" to face James.

"You have done a good job." James patted the shoulders of the two, "I'm back, and everything is over."

In the first round of James' return, he injected great strength into the team. The players also regained their positive attitude towards the game and directly cracked the Heat's game tactics. James saw through Mu Chenfeng's passing line and completed a steal, and he rushed to the Heat's basket.

Mu Chenfeng, who made a mistake, chased back with all his strength and wanted to make up for the mistake, but James still completed the tomahawk dunk before he caught up, helping the Lakers stabilize the point difference.

After scoring the goal, James showed Mu Chenfeng his strong muscles, very "dominant".

The return of the final boss to the game had an immediate effect. James is still the biggest obstacle for the Heat to win the championship.
