Chapter 656 G2 - Lost
It took the Heat three consecutive offensive hits to get the ball into the basket with difficulty.

James almost achieved the feat of defending the Heat's entire team alone.

Barrett is also a ruthless person. When he became crazy, he even "dunked" his teammates. If Barrett didn't directly dunk at that time, he would most likely be blocked by James.

This ball is very morale-boosting, but it is far from enough for the Heat who are still 6 points behind.

The Lakers have begun to control the rhythm of the game. They only need to keep the lead in the remaining games and reduce the number of offensive rounds of the Heat as much as possible.

The fourth quarter so far has been James' individual performance. The rest of the Lakers have a very weak sense of presence, but they can seize the few opportunities to help the team. After receiving a pass from James, Oscar hit Mu Chenfeng forcefully, allowing him to receive his fourth foul of the game. Oscar played steadily at the free throw line and made two free throws.

Then Mu Chenfeng gave his own response. He found Oscar in the attack, and used a fake shot to shoot him away. He leaned his body lightly, causing the opponent's foul, and shot at the same time as the foul, hollow ball, 2+1.

In such a comparison, Mu Chenfeng's offense is much "advanced".

When Mu Chenfeng stood on the free throw line, Oscar interfered with him, "I bet $1 that you won't score this goal."

"1 dollar, it's too little. I'll bet you 1 that the ball will go in." Mu Chenfeng patted the ball, calmed down, looked at the basket, and after it was out steadily, the ball went in, and it was a 2+1 score.

Oscar's trash talk not only did not affect Mu Chenfeng, but instead aroused his competitive spirit and made him more focused.

When the point difference is narrowed, James is always able to stand up and solve the problem. This time is no exception. James tried to push away Barrett's defense with a strong body, but it didn't have any effect. Then James made a turn. Barrett raised it, but James did not complete the turn, but a false turn.

This ball is full of deception, James' fake moves are very realistic, and it is understandable for Barrett to be fooled.

There is not much time left in the game, and the Lakers are getting closer and closer to their first victory in the finals.

The Lakers have always controlled the rhythm of the game in their own hands, but the Heat still raised the rhythm of offense and defense. Mu Chenfeng scored a goal, and it took only 5 seconds to achieve the goal. At the same time, the point difference was narrowed to less than 5 points.

At the critical moment, it was James again. After receiving a pass from Felix, he shot a cold arrow 1.5 meters away from the three-point line and hit the ground with a three-pointer.

With this ultra-long three-pointer, James officially achieved the achievement of scoring 50+ points in two consecutive games in the finals, becoming the No. 1 in history.

The difference from the first game is that today the Lakers are closer to victory.

If two consecutive 50+ games still fail to win the game, then James and his Lakers may be "engraved" in history for a lifetime.

The Heat immediately applied for a timeout. In order to gain more time to arrange tactics, Rondo did not wait for the players to leave the field, but he took the initiative to enter the court to arrange tactics.

"Now we need to hit the success rate. The point difference is not big, and we will recover point by point." The current Heat team is about to fall into the quagmire of failure, and any score may save them from the fire.

Judging from the current game scene, the Lakers' previous rotation tactics against James were extremely correct. At this time of the game, he still did not show any physical problems.

What a terrible thing it is for a player with the strongest strength on the field to be the most physically fit player on the field at the same time.

The Heat's timeout timing is just right. If it is a little later, James may take the game away. Rondo's ability to capture the situation on the field is even stronger than when he was a player.

Rondo made a wave of substitutions during the timeout, replacing Crowder, who had been out in the fourth quarter, with an outside shooter. This is an obvious three-point tactic.

The Lakers understood their tactical thinking after seeing the Heat's personnel changes, so James reminded his teammates to keep an eye on the outside.

The Heat's offense was indeed centered around the outside line, which made the Lakers more determined in their defense against the outside line. But just as they shifted their defensive focus to the outside line, a sling pass from Mu Chenfeng ruthlessly tore their defense apart.

The Heat's substitutions are just a cover-up. The purpose is to disrupt the Lakers' defensive thinking and create opportunities for the inside. Rondo's tactics are always one step ahead of the opponent.

The score was narrowed to one goal, and the coaching staff of the Lakers was forced to apply for a timeout. They wanted to defend the victory.

The head coach of the Lakers gestured the tactics to be used on the tactical board, while explaining to each player in detail what they had to do.

James interrupted, "There is no need to play tactics anymore, pass the damn basketball to me, and I will end the game."

The head coach stopped the pen in his hand, picked up the eraser and erased all the previously arranged tactics, and said to all the players, "Everyone creates opportunities for James."

"It doesn't matter if I can't create opportunities, I can do it myself." James said confidently, his eyes were red.

Strong players are self-contained, and they themselves are "unsolvable" tactics.

Both sides played epic offensive and defensive performances. As a result, neither team could break through the opponent's basket, and the two teams fell into a 1-minute scoring drought.

Such a stalemate situation is naturally very beneficial to the leading Lakers team, but the lagging Heat team does not want this, so Mu Chenfeng took the risk and chose to challenge James. The result is obvious, he failed.

Mu Chenfeng's offense was ruthlessly intercepted by James, and the basketball was destroyed and went out of bounds.

"Is there something wrong with this kid's head? Doesn't he know that James is the last thing to mess with?" Claude said off the court.

"It is precisely because everyone thinks so that Mu Chenfeng chooses to challenge. In the eyes of others, James is the most unlikely offensive choice." Mu Chenfeng's thoughts are exactly the same as Rondo's, but James is too strong.

After the referee's judgment, the ball belonged to the Lakers, and the basketball touched Mu Chenfeng's body before going out of bounds.

"Just use this ball to end the game!" James tried his best to hit the Heat's basket, and the five Heat players jumped up to defend, completely wrapping him in the center.

"It's impossible to score this goal!" The defense was so tight that James didn't even have room to make a shot.

"Do you think this can restrain me?" James, who was surrounded by five people, could still laugh. He threw the ball high above his head, and the basketball flew out of the space above his head, which was the only defensive area that the Heat couldn't cover.

The basketball climbed into the air with an almost completely vertical trajectory, rose to a very high height and then fell rapidly, hitting the center of the net impartially.

"This shit is okay too!!!" James' coquettish operation left everyone dumbfounded.

It was this goal that completely ended the Heat's hope of reversal, and then the Heat's three offenses all missed. The Lakers defeated the Heat by 5 points and successfully won G2 of the finals. The big score was tied to "1-1". The Lakers brought the home court advantage back to Los Angeles.
