Chapter 676 G5-Good Start

The Los Angeles Lakers arrived in Miami 12 hours earlier than expected, and their preparations are relatively relaxed. After all, they hold 3 match points, and they only need to win one of the remaining 3 games.

History is on the side of the Lakers.

In order to boost morale, the Lakers also specially customized exclusive training uniforms, with "21" stars embroidered on the back of the training uniforms, 20 small golden stars surrounding a large white star, 20 gold stars representing the 20 championships that have been won in team history, and the star that has not been plated and dyed gold represents the 21st championship that is "coming soon".

It has to be said that the Lakers have always had good creativity in these forms. It is not the first time they have done this to show the team's glorious history to their opponents nakedly. Every time they will bring huge psychological pressure to their opponents.

This training uniform is very popular with Lakers fans. After 20 training uniforms were put on the store, it was sold out in only 6 hours.

Heat players also noticed this unique design.

"The 21st star, don't expect to be plated with gold." Mu Chenfeng was the first to express his attitude after seeing the photo of the training uniform.

"Very good, it is necessary to have such an aura." Rondo encouraged the aura of the players.

Since Mu Chenfeng returned to the team, the Heat fans once again saw hope in despair. Although the light was extremely weak and not dazzling, it easily ignited the long-suppressed enthusiasm of the fans. Fans flocked to the American Airlines Center to cheer for the home team.

In the Heat's locker room, the Heat's management also carefully prepared the equipment for the players to use in the game. In addition to some commonly used arm guards, knee pads and other protective gear in the game, they also specially distributed a custom bracelet for each player. The number of each player is printed on the bracelet, and it is equipped with the words "Never Give Up", which is used to encourage the players to fight side by side until the last moment.

The bracelet is worn by the head coach Rondo personally for each player, and each person who wears it will make a few words of advice in his ear.

After wearing them, everyone gathered together and stacked the hands with the bracelets together as a final morale boost before going on the field.

"Are you ready to challenge history?" In the player channel, the Heat players said to each other.

"of course."

After speaking, everyone lined up and ran into the arena accompanied by intense live music.

When the Heat players ran out of the player channel one after another, there was a warm sound at the scene, which was stronger than the home court in Los Angeles.

The starting five entered the arena in turn. Mu Chenfeng, who used to be the first to enter the arena, was arranged to appear last this time. He has now become a key bargaining chip for the Heat to defeat the Lakers, and it also demonstrated his tactical status in today's game.

James' eyes moved with Mu Chenfeng's movement, and he felt unprecedented heat from Mu Chenfeng's body, "I really didn't miss it."

Mu Chenfeng shook all his muscles to keep his body warm. There was no trace of tension in the "life-and-death battle" on his face. His state was no different from that of an ordinary game.

During the handshake session before the game, Mu Chenfeng did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation. Even the handshake with James was crisp and smooth, and his hand was very steady.

The game officially started with the referee throwing the ball into the air. Gaia lost to Rafael on the jump ball last time.

Raphael's take-off timing is still more accurate than Gaia's, leading Gaia in height.

Just when everyone thought that Raphael was about to beat Gaia on the jump ball again, Gaia's body suddenly jumped into the air for a second time, and his body suddenly jumped up a lot in the air, grabbing the ball away before Raphael.

This second volley is a bit outrageous, looking at Raphael in a daze, he lost the possession of the ball just like that.

The basketball was accurately placed in Mu Chenfeng's hands, and the Lakers quickly organized a return defense. However, Mu Chenfeng did not dribble forward, but used a super long hit pass close to the ground on the spot, directly piercing the Lakers' uncompleted defense line. Because the basketball is very close to the ground, it is difficult for Lakers players to steal.

"Beautiful pass." Just when the Lakers were not getting a firm foothold, Barrett's voice suddenly came from behind. He had already almost entered the Lakers' penalty area, and the basketball flew towards Barrett's direction.

"Oops." The Lakers could only watch Barrett catch the ball and make a layup.

Mu Chenfeng's pass was 15 meters away, and even passed five Lakers players during the pass, but none of them could stop it.

The Heat scored the first goal of the life-and-death battle in the opening game, a good start.

If you want to pass such a ball, it is difficult to do without a few years of experience as a point guard, but this situation actually happened to a rookie who has only entered the league for one year. Only the word "talent" can explain it.

The Lakers also quickly entered the state of the game. Felix controlled the ball and organized. Wade's defensive strength was raised to a very high level from the beginning. Felix had to pass the ball to his teammates. At the same time as he passed the ball, Mu Chenfeng came out from the oblique side, lightly extended his arm, broke the ball, and directly entered the fast-break rhythm.

Mu Chenfeng played in an excellent competitive state at the beginning, helping the Heat establish a leading advantage.

The sound of the American Airlines Center has never stopped.

"Mu Chenfeng, today's condition is a bit good." Oscar looked at Mu Chenfeng and said.

"It's not just a little good, it's everywhere."

"Too slack." James rarely yelled at his teammates. Indeed, the Lakers' start was very unsatisfactory, and the strength of both offense and defense was not enough. Obviously, this state is not allowed to appear in the finals.

The Lakers immediately adjusted their state and played steadily on the offensive end. After Felix had the ball in half court, James immediately went up to catch the ball.

James received the ball, and the Heat's defense was immediately deployed, using zone defense to contain James.

For a player with unsolvable singles ability like James, one-on-one defense is obviously not enough to pose a threat to him. Zone defense is undoubtedly the best defensive choice. The Heat's zone defense in previous games is also very good.

James attacked with the ball, Wade and Barrett shrank inward at the same time, and the double-teaming was completed instantly. The double-teaming formed by the two players of the best defensive team was naturally extremely strong, but James insisted on breaking through the double-teaming of the two with his stronger body, bounced them away, rushed into the inside line, and completed the "double-kill dunk" against Gaia and Claude.
