Chapter 384 Heat vs. Lakers
In the game between the Heat and the Lakers, there are three top ten players in the league, which in itself sets a very high tone for the game, and the UCLA trio competing on the same field is the icing on the cake for this game.

According to the ticket sales records, the ticket sales for the game between the Heat and the Lakers set a record for the fastest sell-out, with nearly 32 tickets sold out in 20000 seconds.

To commemorate the birth of this record, the Heat sent a T-shirt with the Heat logo to every fan who bought tickets at home.

Before the game, NBA officials made a big fuss about the game. Even NBA president Stern, former US president and many other celebrities came to watch the game, and the ratings of this game far exceeded other games on the same day.

It is not surprising that this game has gathered the three hottest stars in the league today and the three rookies who may dominate the league in the future. It is not surprising that it has received such attention.

The match between the two teams has already started from the warm-up session before the game. The players of the two teams have shown precise shooting skills, as if they are competing in the air, and there is very little sound of iron strikes, especially James Bryant. He even hit three ultra-long three-pointers in the logo area in a row, telling the audience how hot his touch is.

The Heat were not to be outdone. Barrett hit a three-pointer at five points outside the three-point line, responding to James with a wave of five consecutive hits.

After showing the shooting ability between the two teams, the two teams began to bomb the basket. Many dunk skills that had no chance to be used in actual combat finally dunked well in the warm-up session.

Slam dunks such as turning 360, changing hands under the crotch, and super empty catches were staged one after another.

The physical talents of the two teams can easily complete these moves, but after all, the Heat have the league's number one dunker. Barrett's dunk moves are obviously higher than others. It is a slam dunk contest full-scoring rim-exploding move, but it is indeed so easy to complete in Barrett's hands.

From the moment the players set foot on the court, there was nothing to pee on. The warm-ups of the two teams in their respective halfs were even more exciting than many official games.

The audience didn't want such a wonderful "warm-up duel" to stop.

However, the main course was about to be served, and after the unfinished warm-up, the game officially started.

Both teams have sent their full lineups to play. After all, it is about the battle for the top spot, and neither team wants to lose this "preview of the finals".

Mu Chenfeng also served as the starting shooting guard in this game, forming a backcourt trio with Wade and Barrett, and this lineup exactly matches the starting lineup of James, Felix and Oscar.

Mu Chenfeng faced off with veteran player Felix, James had a strong dialogue with Barrett, and Wade was in charge of facing Oscar.

Judging from such a matchup, it seems that the Heat's lineup has a slight advantage, and the advantage is the matchup between Wade and Oscar. No matter how you look at it, Wade has an absolute advantage.

At the beginning of the game, both sides jumped the ball. Both of them touched the ball, but neither of them controlled the ball. As a result, Wade, who had a sharper sense of smell, took the lead to stabilize the ball.

The Heat get their first chance to attack.

As expected before the game, Wade has a great advantage in the matchup with Oscar. Although Oscar is not much younger than Wade in grade, after all, Wade's career lies there, and Oscar is just a rookie who has just been promoted from the NCAA.

Wade passed Oscar easily, and then made a solid stop jumper.

This ball was a bit too unpretentious, it was just a simple mid-range shot, but the result was good, after all, it scored points.

At the beginning of the game, it is understandable that the players did not fully enter the state, but as time went by, the players of both sides gradually adapted to each other's game rhythm, and the scene became exciting.

First, James opened the way mentally, forced the Heat to the basket, caused a foul by the center, and successfully scored 2+1.

As the team's top card, Wade also gave a strong response. After using the pick-and-roll to get rid of James' defense, he broke through the basket, forced the Lakers to pull the double inside line in the air, passed between the two, and scored the ball with a backhand layup.

The performance of the two opened up the situation for their respective teams, and then the outside players of the two teams began to fire.

The old players all performed wonderfully, and the newcomers couldn't bear their inner desire to attack. Mu Chenfeng and Oscar scored points for their respective teams. Although Felix didn't score, he successfully completed the task of connecting the whole team and received 5 assists in just 3 minutes.

The Heat and the Lakers have the most perfect lineup configuration in the league, with both internal and external firepower.

The most enjoyable thing in a confrontational battle is the audience.

At the same time, this kind of confrontation poses a great test for the offense of the two teams. At this time, both sides need to continue their firepower. If one side fails to continue, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity to play a wave.

After an indiscriminate bombardment, the two sides unanimously lowered their rhythm and fell into the position to attack the success rate.

In positional battles, the advantage of the Lakers is still obvious. The main offensive method of the Heat is fast break, and the game rhythm is usually fast.

The two inside players of the Lakers are both over 2.15m tall, and they belong to the highest-ranked twin-tower combination in the league. The offense can hold high, and the defense can give the greatest protection to the basket. This has caused a great impact on the Heat's inside line.

Facing the absolute height difference, Garcio and Standemire could only use strength to compete with each other. However, it was difficult to limit the opponent in terms of height. However, the opponent had a good hook technique and scored consecutively, helping the Lakers temporarily open the score.

After establishing a lead, the Lakers immediately strengthened their defense against Wade and Barrett, restricting them from participating in the offense. In an instant, the Heat's offense was out of touch.

"I'll attack." At the moment of crisis, Mu Chenfeng offered to bear the heavy burden of attack.

He is the team's third offensive option, and when the top two scorers are restricted, he should stand up.

This is only his second NBA game, and he was appointed as the core of the offense when he was in danger. The opponent is still the powerful Lakers.

Mu Chenfeng had the experience of being ordered in a crisis when he was in the NCAA, but the intensity of the game this time is not comparable to the NCAA.

Mu Chenfeng didn't have much confidence, but he knew that he had to stand up at this time.

When Mu Chenfeng got the ball, Felix stepped up to defend and put great pressure on the ball.

After the amazing battle with the Celtics, Mu Chenfeng has been valued and studied by various teams, including the Lakers.

"I didn't expect to meet so early."

Mu Chenfeng and Felix competed together again, but their identities changed from teammates to opponents.
