Chapter 509 The Key to Victory
Under the leadership of James, the Lakers firmly controlled the rhythm of the game in their own hands. They also took advantage of the situation to break the previous situation of rivalry, and the point difference was also pulled to 5 points.

This is already the biggest point difference between the two teams in this game.

Even though the difference of five points between teams of similar strength is not much, it is likely to affect the final result of the game. At least in terms of momentum, the Lakers have already overwhelmed the Heat. In addition, this is the home court of the Lakers. With the support of the fans, they have maintained their lead very well.

However, 5 points was just the beginning of the Lakers' lead. James suddenly changed his style of play, from personal offense to assisting his teammates. The sudden change of play caught the Heat off guard.

The Lakers are the most snowballing team this season. No one knows how to turn a lead into a victory better than them.

James is a player born to win. His winning percentage is terrifying when he is in the lead. His keen awareness and accurate judgment of the game situation allow him to always pass the ball to the most suitable person.

Then, there was a blow to seal the throat with a sword.

Facing the changes in the Lakers' style of play, the Heat immediately began to target and prevented the further expansion of the point difference. However, the biggest problem for the Heat was not defense, but their sudden misfired offense.

The Heat immediately paused to make adjustments, and replaced the offensive players, lowered the height of the lineup, improved the flexibility of the team, and expanded the shooting range.

Rondo deserves to be a genius coach, and the substitution and adjustment immediately had a significant effect, and it was the shooters he had just replaced. Replacing Standemire meant that Rondo gave up on the inside. He planned to take a gamble. Yau Steinmeier, and his defensive effect is better than some big players, because he is too flexible, and his body is also very strong, which has caused a certain obstacle to the Lakers' inside offense. Barrett's rebounding ability has also been fully demonstrated at this time.

The awakening of the defensive end also revived the players' touch on the offensive end. Mu Chenfeng and Wade hit two mid-range shots in a row, and Barrett also made a strong goal in the penalty area.

This goal made the audience quiet. James did have such a perverted range, but he didn't expect him to throw the ball in at this time, and it only took one shot.

After scoring the goal, James raised his right hand high in the air and didn't put it down for a long time. The confidence revealed in his eyes seemed to have foreseen that the goal would be scored.

Handsome stopped, James looked calm, looking like a cold-blooded killer.

When the Heat were chasing points most rapidly, James made such a wonderful pass, and the cold water the Lakers poured was just right.

Now that they have played such an offense, you know how much James wants to win this game.

"The three-pointers in the middle circle have come." James brought his best competitive state to the field today.

As the league's number one killer, James is almost incomprehensible on the offensive end with his excellent physical condition and comprehensive skills. In addition, the previous rotation allowed him to get enough rest, even if he played the whole game in this state.

Unable to limit James, there is only one last key left for the Heat to win, and that is to play against the Lakers to see who has the stronger offensive firepower.

Although the Heat's offensive ability is also excellent, after all, the team is based on defense and is good at attacking tough battles. However, it has little contact with offensive games and has high requirements for offensive opponents. However, James' style of play is very close to the basket, which makes his offensive success rate much higher than others.

The Heat can only maintain the existing point difference between the two teams by relying on the "multi-point blooming" offense, but obviously, the players are playing with huge psychological pressure, and they are not decisive enough to make every shot.

clang!
The sound of a slamming basket made the hearts of the Heat players twitch. The Heat failed to continue their offensive firepower and shot out of the basket. Everyone immediately stuck in their positions and grabbed rebounds.

"Oops." The Heat's players were a little frustrated, and cold sweat broke out on their cheeks. If the Lakers got this rebound, they would definitely launch a fast break, so some Heat players had given up the rebound and turned back to defend their own half.

"It's not over yet." Barrett competed with three Lakers players for rebounds at the basket with one against three.

I saw four people jumping up at the same time and rushing towards the basketball, but Barrett was the taller. His arms were obviously higher than the others in the crowd. He was the first to touch the ball, and with a light touch, he sent it back into the air. The basketball just passed the basket and then gently fell into the basket.

"Ah!" Barrett raised his arms and shouted after making a tip-up. This ball especially boosted morale.

The vigorous Barrett did not return to the defense, but directly put on a relaxed movement under the basket, interfering with the Lakers' baseline serve. Barrett's reaction was extremely sharp, and the basketball was delayed. This made the Lakers players have to retreat to respond. The basketball was passed out at the last second, hit the ground, and bounced to the Lakers.

huh~
Just before the Lakers received the ball, a black figure flashed in front of his eyes and stabilized the basketball before him.

"Not bad." Barrett smiled back.

"Fortunately, we caught up." Mu Chenfeng, the basketball was firmly held between his hands.

After all, the Heat are still a defense-based team. Under such a team culture, each of them has a very keen defensive awareness.
