Xu Feng felt very relieved to see that his teammates understood him very well. His efforts were not in vain, at least his teammates recognized him very much.

"Just do your best and don't get hurt. This is the most important thing!"

After instructing his teammates, Xu Feng continued to massage, and his physical strength recovered more than half.

The second half of the game began.

The Heat were not idle during the intermission. The head coach Spoelstra and the assistant coach had an urgent discussion and watched the replay video.

The unanimous conclusion they came to was that Xu Feng was too difficult to defend, but the rest of the Lakers were much worse.

Therefore, the Heat's strategy in the second half is still on the offensive end, try to avoid Xu Feng's defensive area, and on the defensive end, strictly double-team Xu Feng without giving Xu Feng a chance to dominate the ball.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the third quarter, it was difficult for Xu Feng to connect the ball, and the Heat took a defensive approach.

Thiel was kicked into the starting lineup. He and James clamped Xu Feng tightly like a sandwich.

Although the other players of the Lakers gained space, their shooting touch was mediocre, and the score still did not open.

At 5 minutes and 21 seconds into the third quarter, the score of the two sides was 72:70.

In these 5 minutes or so, Xu Feng only received the ball twice and scored only 2 points.

D'Antoni watched from the sidelines, anxious. Once Xu Feng was restricted, other players would not be able to stand up and punish the opponent.

It would be nice if Kobe could come back from injury.

It's a pity that Kobe was reimbursed for the season, and the team doctor said that his comeback is only possible in the second round of the playoffs.

For the Lakers, this is equivalent to not being able to play. Can Xu Feng bring the Lakers to the second round of the playoffs?
Incredible.

Xu Feng was also anxious. He wanted to use the second option drawn, which was to hit five consecutive goals in a certain quarter.

But he didn't dare to use it lightly, because the situation in the fourth quarter is hard to say. If the Heat suddenly broke out, then he would have no way to deal with it in the fourth quarter.

Fortunately, the Lakers are still leading and can hold on for a while.

Although Xu Feng can copy the abilities of James and Wade, even if these two people face such crazy double-teams, they will not perform well.

So now Xu Feng can only hope that his teammates can stand up and punish the opponent.

Nick Young made two [-]-pointers in the third quarter, and then nothing happened.

And Gasol also got into foul trouble and was replaced early.

It's getting tougher for the Lakers.

Xu Feng remembered his previous strategy for dealing with double-teams, which was to run all over the field, but he exhausted his physical strength in the first half, and after running a few laps, he was out of breath.

There is no need for others to guard against this, and I have to get down first.

No, I have to think of another way.

While Xu Feng was still observing, the Heat had already played a small climax and overtook the score.

In a fast break, Janeway's connection appeared again.

Wade dribbled the ball over half court, and James then rushed up.

Although Xu Feng followed James closely, but Wade was faster, Xu Feng only needed to defend Wade again.

Wade saw Xu Feng from the corner of his eye and threw the ball high. James understood and dunked the ball into the basket.

Xu Feng could only look at the ball and sigh.

79:76, the Heat went ahead by 3 points.

The Lakers had to call a timeout.

During the timeout, D'Antoni wanted to replace Xu Feng and let him rest.

Xu Feng nodded in agreement, he was frozen on the court, he needed to calm down and let his teammates try to attack the opponent's defense.

After coming off the bench, under the leadership of Bazemore, the substitute played well.

But with James' efforts, the substitutes gradually ran out, and the point difference was widened again.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams scored 88:81, with the Lakers trailing by 7 points.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, D'Antoni walked up to Xu Feng again and asked, "How about it, can you pull it back in the fourth quarter?"

Xu Feng nodded seriously: "I believe we can get it back, but we have to do one thing."

"What's the matter?" D'Antoni asked puzzled.

"Just let Kobe come to watch the game from the sidelines."

D'Antoni froze for a moment, and he turned to look at the bench. Kobe had been sitting there, but he didn't know where he went in the second half.

Xu Feng was sitting down just now, racking his brains, and suddenly came up with a solution, tried it, and it really worked.

That is, he can not only copy the abilities of the players on the field, but also the abilities of the players off the field.

And not only can you copy it for yourself, but you can also copy it for your teammates.

In this way, there are more ways to play.

He tried to copy James' ability to his teammates just now, but the physical fitness of these teammates is too different from James.

It's useless to have skills without a body.

Moreover, some of James' stunts are based on his strong physical condition.

For example, if a tank makes a layup, the opponent can't pull it down. This is the advantage of the body.

As far as his passing vision is concerned, it really doesn't have that much to do with his physical fitness, but the Lakers teammates are all about the same level. If you pass the ball, your teammates can't make a shot.

So Xu Feng tried it off the court for a long time, and the Lakers' bench did not improve much.

Not enough. He suddenly thought of Kobe. If his teammates can have Kobe's skills, even if it's just shooting skills, when Xu Feng is double-teamed, he can punish his opponents.

Xu Feng was very excited when he thought of this, but he just realized that Kobe had suddenly disappeared.

So he asked D'Antoni to find Kobe.

As a coach, he would not do such a thing as finding someone, but now Xu Feng is the core of the team, as long as it is helpful to the team, anyone should do it.

So D'Antoni found the assistant coach and asked him to get Kobe back.

In fact, Kobe just went to answer the phone, because tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest daughter, and his wife asked him how to celebrate his daughter's birthday.

Bryant had just finished a phone call and was about to go home when the assistant coach found him.

The assistant coach said: "Hey, Kobe, Coach D'Antoni wants you to cheer on your teammates from the sidelines!"

Kobe would cheer his teammates on the sidelines if he had nothing else to do, so he agreed and went back to the sidelines.

Seeing that Kobe was back, Xu Feng was very excited. He asked to play and continue the game.

At this time, it came to 3 minutes and 53 seconds of the fourth quarter. The score of the two teams was 94:83. The Lakers were 11 points behind, and they were about to be beaten.

After Xu Feng came on the field, he faced the Heat's substitute lineup with the substitutes.

The Heat's substitute continued to double-team Xu Feng without thinking.

But Xu Feng took his time and copied Kobe's ability to Bazemore.

Then he walked up to Bazemore and said in a low voice, "I'll give you the ball in a moment, and you can play alone without passing the ball."

Bazemore can be regarded as a catch-and-shoot shooter with an average level of offense with the ball.

Seeing that Xu Feng trusted him so much, he was a little flattered.
