Chapter 562 Recovery 100%
The speed at which Claude turned around just now was astonishingly fast.

"This guy, the speed is faster than before!" Wade is the person who is most familiar with Crowder's strength, and he is sure that Crowder's reaction speed just now is faster than before he was injured.

"The best rookie? It should be more than that." Claude said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Cut! Come again!" Mu Chenfeng just replied lightly, and asked to continue the game.

However, Mu Chenfeng's face obviously became more gloomy, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. He tested Claude's strength with just one ball, which was much stronger than he imagined, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured at all.

"It seems that he is recovering well." After seeing Crowder's performance, Barrett and others were full of praise for his performance. If he returns to the team in this state, it will undoubtedly add an important bargaining chip to the Heat's way to win the championship.

Since the team made several trades and signings, the team's lineup has become more and more complete, but the power forward position has been at a relative disadvantage. Now the team's power forwards can't keep up with the rhythm of the "Big Four" in terms of game rhythm. get over it.

"It's too early to make a conclusion now." Wade said cautiously, "Although Claude is in a good state, we must know that we are now in the playoffs, and the intensity is much higher than this. Crowder will play in the playoffs just after his comeback. I am worried that he will not be able to adapt to the intensity of the game. If his injury is affected by the intensity of the game, it is very likely that he will return to his career."

Wade's caution is very necessary. He also has such concerns about Crowder and the team. He doesn't want Crowder to come back forcibly before he is ready. What he hopes to see is a 100% healthy Crowder.

"With our current strength, we can continue to finish this season." Wade still does not recommend that Claude come back now. The biggest reason is that the timing of the comeback is not suitable. If this is the regular season, Wade will definitely not have such concerns.

"But, we can't make the decision for him." Gaia said slowly, "It's up to him to decide whether to come back or not."

"Gaia is right. Only he knows what Claude's condition is." Barrett continued, "In short, let's talk about it after watching the game."

On the court, Mu Chenfeng was ready to challenge the basket guarded by Crowder again.

This time, Mu Chenfeng did not choose to deviate to the sides of the court like the first time, but started to attack from the top arc, directly attacking the basket.

"Mu Chenfeng is crazy, such an obvious attack, the probability of success is not too high." Seeing Mu Chenfeng's offensive choice, people are a little puzzled. This is simply the offensive method that basketball beginners will adopt. There is no feint or change of direction, and a straight breakthrough.

"Perhaps this is the most effective offense. Just now, it has been proved that even if he used fake moves to shake Claude, he would not take any advantage. He simply deleted those cumbersome breakthroughs and changes of direction, and used this most direct offensive method to hit the basket, which can also save energy."

"But, this is too straightforward." Mu Chenfeng's choice of breakthrough is still very embarrassing. This kind of breakthrough is not to mention challenging NBA players, even if it is placed on the field, it may be difficult to gain anything.

"I don't think it's that simple. Mu Chenfeng is not the kind of player who doesn't use his brain to play. Maybe he has other ideas."

Mu Chenfeng and Claude took off at the same time and faced each other head-on in the air. Claude raised his arms high and built a barrier. Mu Chenfeng really had some ideas, stretched his body completely in the air, twisted his body sideways, stretched his arms outward as much as possible, and sent the basketball outside of Claude's defensive deterrence.

"It's gone!" exclaimed the teammate.

"No, not yet." Barrett said with a serious expression, and Wade and Gaia also had equally serious expressions. On the surface, this ball was indeed Mu Chenfeng's strong personal ability to let the basketball bypass Crowder's defense, but the basketball did not completely surpass Crowder's fingertips, that is, it did not completely avoid Crowder's defense. If Claude is strong enough, he can completely adjust his posture in the air and completely block the shot.

The premise is that Claude's current ability is enough to support him to change his body posture even when he has completely lost support in the air.

"It's a good attack, but it's a pity that you almost succeeded." Claude twisted his body forcefully in the air, and his body began to spin. Mu Chenfeng was stunned, how strong his core strength is to do this. He could only watch helplessly as Claude rotated his body, and then extended his "magic claws" to the basketball he threw.

Snapped! ! !
After all, the basketball still failed to fall into the basket before being blocked by Crowder, and was blocked by Crowder.

Even Mu Chenfeng himself found it unbelievable to encounter blocks twice in a row. Claude's awareness of protecting the frame is really good.

boom! ! !
The two fell back to the ground together, and Mu Chenfeng was a little downcast. He stretched his body to the extreme with this ball, but he still didn't bypass Claude's five-finger barrier.

"Huh~" Claude let out a sigh of relief after he landed. He could relax a little bit. He was almost beaten by Mu Chenfeng just now. Fortunately, his core strength was relatively strong, which prevented his goal.

"Your caution seems to have become superfluous, that guy is 100% recovered." With Mu Chenfeng in two caps, Barrett can finally be sure that Claude has fully recovered, and his competitive level is still maintained at a very high level, and there is no problem playing in the playoffs.

"Maybe." Wade replied.

"Come again!!!" Mu Chenfeng was naturally unconvinced and wanted to continue the game.

However, it was stopped by Wade, Barrett and others, "Let's stop here for today, just to learn from each other, let's go to the end."

In order to prevent Mu Chenfeng from being hit more seriously in terms of self-confidence, so as not to affect the subsequent games, this "bullfight" must be stopped.

"It's over, the Lakers' game is over." Outside the door, Su Mengyao hurried in. Today is the first round of the Western Conference game, the Lakers vs. Clippers. In the previous three games, the Lakers easily took a 3-0 lead under the leadership of James.

"Win?" Wade whispered.

"Yes." Su Mengyao nodded.

This result seems to have been guessed by everyone, 4-0. After the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers also played a "4-0" record in the first round. The two teams swept together to advance to the second round.

They are the only two teams that "swept" to advance in the first round, and the rest of the matchups have wins and losses.
