Chapter 553 "16-0"

Swish!
It was the sound of friction between the basketball and the net.

Mu Chenfeng's last shot was really "aggressive", and he made five out of five clean shots, which impressed everyone.

Even Evans, who is also a five-fifth, is full of praise for his shooting skills, and believes that Mu Chenfeng has all the potential to become a top shooter in the league.

The shot was clean and neat, without muddling, like a cold-blooded killer.

But the reason why Evans thinks that Mu Chenfeng has potential, not that he has already become it is because Mu Chenfeng's three-pointers in the game have not yet been developed to the extreme. Looking at previous games, three-pointers accounted for not a high proportion of Mu Chenfeng's offensive methods. It can only be said to be one of the weapons, not conventional weapons. Can't get in.

Not only in the league, but even in the Heat, Mu Chenfeng was unable to participate in the discussion of shooters. His average number of three-point shots per game ranked fourth among the Heat, and he was the team's relatively low three-point choice.

The team's three-point matchup this time showed that in addition to the Heat's strong offensive firepower from the outside, it is difficult to find a better shooter group than the Heat in the entire league.

More importantly, these substitutes for the Heat are cheap and extremely cost-effective.

Miami's actions during the transfer period can be described as very successful, which makes them dominate the league in terms of championship odds with a probability of more than 43.5%, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers with a probability of 30%.

The two giants account for more than 7% of the probability of winning, and they are the most championship-looking teams.

"A very exciting matchup." Rondo watched the whole game from the sidelines and was very satisfied with the outside performance of the players. The addition of these players will enrich the Heat's tactics. Relatively, their opponents will suffer.

The Heat's opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Philadelphia 76ers. This season, the 76ers' lineup has changed a lot. They formed the three musketeers consisting of Anthony, Lloris, and Carter.

At the same time, with this wave of victories, the 76ers also successfully boarded the last train of the playoffs, breaking into the playoffs as the No.

As far as the 76ers are concerned, it is undoubtedly lucky to be able to enter the playoffs, but it is unfortunate to encounter the Heat in the playoffs.

In the regular season, the two teams faced each other three times, and the Heat achieved a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, completely crushing their opponents.

However, in view of the fact that the Heat this season are too incomprehensible, they won a record-breaking 71 wins in the regular season, and a total of 22 teams in the league were swept by Miami.

Of the remaining seven players who have won against the Heat, only the Boston Celtics have beaten them twice.

In terms of the team's overall strength, there is not much suspense in this first-round matchup.

But there has been a saying in the NBA: The NBA's regular season and playoffs are completely two-level games.

In the NBA, only the playoffs and finals will really attract the attention of the audience, and that is what the NBA really looks like.

In order to advance to the championship, each team will explode with amazing fighting power, and the level of competition is more than one level higher.

In the face of a series that loses the game and faces being eliminated, the team often retains certain tactics and strength in the regular season, and in the playoffs, it will deal a fatal blow to the opponent in the form of "unique tricks".

Ranking, here is no longer the only factor that determines the direction of the series. There have been many times when the lower-ranked teams counterattacked the higher-ranked teams, and some teams even staged PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the "Black Eight Miracle".

However, the team with a better record will gain an extra home court advantage in 7 games with 4 wins, which is a crucial condition for some teams with equal strength.

Home field advantage is the biggest external factor affecting the direction of the game. Many teams will perform amazingly amidst the cheers of the home crowd.

The Heat have the league's first record, so no matter what opponent the Heat play against, they will have home court advantage.

The Heat's home court is a famous devil's home court, especially this year, the Heat only lost 2 games at home, and the winning rate is appalling.

Here are the 5 home games players least want to play in the league.

Highland environment Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets.

Cold environment Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks.

The last one is the Miami Heat.

Before this season, the Heat were still the top three most popular teams. After just one season, the Heat became a thorn in the side of each team in a blink of an eye, and were resisted by the players and the team.

Going to the Heat's home court is tantamount to directly judging the outcome.

There is no team that can get out of the heat at home. Even if they win the game, they have to pay a painful price.

Such a terrifying home win rate makes the Heat's first record in the league very meaningful, and at the same time discourages some teams that want to make a big play in the playoffs.

"Speaking of which, it seems that no team has ever won a championship in the playoffs." Barrett's words instantly attracted the attention of all the players.

"Well." Wade nodded slightly, "The best record was the Lakers in 01, which won the final championship with a record of 16-1."

16-1, what a terrible record. Back then, the Lakers, which had an invincible "OK combination", went straight to the finals with three 3-4s in the Western Conference. In the finals, Allen Iverson won a game, but in the end the Lakers defeated the Philadelphia 0ers 4-1 and won the final O'Brien Cup.

However, such a record has only appeared once in history.

"I seem to guess what you're going to say, it's too difficult." Wade said.

"It's a bit more difficult, but not impossible." Mu Chenfeng responded.

The implication of Barrett's words is that the Heat will hit the "16-0" championship record, which no one has been able to touch so far, and it is as strong as the basketball god Michael Jordan has never achieved it.

The Heat have already achieved a historic record in the regular season, and they are thinking of attacking another record.

16-0 is like an unattainable illusion. Countless people are fascinated by it, but no team has been able to touch it.

Can the Heat succeed?
