Chapter 720 Reaching the Peak
"If you want to win the championship, don't dream about it." The fighting desire in James' eyes can no longer be contained.

As soon as he came back, he stabilized the chaotic situation of the team. This is what James means to the team. Such a player is a well-deserved absolute core in any team.

To be honest, the Lakers lineup this season is not very strong or suitable, except that the Rafael team did not have too many amazing operations before the trade deadline. If it weren't for James, it would be difficult for this team to enter the playoffs.

However, it was such a star-studded Lakers team that was brought out of the league's No. [-] regular season record by James abruptly, and reached the finals all the way.

So far in the playoffs, James has scored a super data of 650 points + 250 rebounds + 200 assists, a record that is astonishing in the past.

However, that's not the end of James' numbers.

"The final decisive battle!" The Heat team smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

"There is still a gap of 7 points." Mu Chenfeng looked at the scores of the two teams. 7 points is not a big score, and it can be recovered after a few rounds. However, with James in the opponent's lineup, it is much more difficult to chase points.

The remaining time cannot be wasted by the Heat. They must seize every offensive opportunity and maintain enough offensive rounds.

The Heat kept the rhythm of the game at a very fast pace, while the Lakers completely kept up with the Heat in terms of rhythm as if they had changed teams.

"It's a lie." Such a fast-paced game led the audience to exclaim, "The game has been going on like this, and it can still maintain such a high intensity."

"No! It's not that they deliberately maintained such an intensity. They also want to stabilize. It's just that whichever team slows down first at this time, then that team will fall into a passive position. Both sides are soaring. It depends on whose string can't be stretched first."

Mu Chenfeng moved forward quickly, the defensive player refused to give up an inch, and rushed to shoot a three-pointer from the outside. As a result, he was interfered by Oscar. further.

One offense and one defense fully demonstrated James' determination to take over the game.

Compared with James' strong individual performance, it is difficult for the Heat to respond with the same momentum, but they still relied on teamwork to tear apart the Lakers' defense. Seeing this, he calmly passed the ball to Mu Chenfeng. It was too late for Oscar to turn around. The latter caught the ball and hit a wide open three-pointer! ! !

Oscar's "reckless" double-teaming was not criticized by James, because no matter whether it was double-teamed or not, the result was not much different, it was nothing more than a difference in the scorer.

"Get back the points you lost." James actually handed the ball to Oscar, which aroused lively discussions among the audience. At such a critical time, James chose to be "selfless" and gave up the ball. This is what the Lakers fans don't want to see. What they need to see at this time is an extremely "selfish" James, the one who took over the game.

"Me?" Oscar hesitated, because at this time, according to the coach's tactics, the ball should be handed over to James, and other people should just assist him.

"It doesn't matter. There are no tactics in this round. You can play whatever you want." James saw Oscar's concerns, and said that the coach did not object to James' decision. At this time, James has absolute control.

With James' encouragement, Oscar's confidence improved a lot, and he was finally able to get rid of the shackles of tactics and play a round happily.

After the whole person relaxed, Oscar even dribbled lightly, and his movements were very smooth.

"Although there is only one round, I can finally have a hearty fight with you." Oscar said to Mu Chenfeng. As a senior, Oscar's performance has not been as good as Mu Chenfeng since entering the NBA, but this is not a problem of Oscar's strength, but the team's tactical arrangements that limit Oscar's talent. James gave him the opportunity to completely release himself.

What Oscar said made Mu Chenfeng inexplicably feel a little pressure. He always felt that the NCAA Oscar was better than the NBA Oscar.

Mu Chenfeng didn't dare to neglect, he put on a very solid defensive stance, his eyes were piercing, and his energy was concentrated.

Oscar held the ball and signaled everyone to pull away, he wanted to single-handedly fight Mu Chenfeng.

The Heat have never worried about Mu Chenfeng's one-on-one ability, and even feel that Oscar's move is simply asking for trouble, and Mu Chenfeng will defend him effortlessly.

But in the next second, everyone was surprised.

Oscar first used his fast starting speed to attract Mu Chenfeng's defensive center of gravity, and then followed up with a very skillful turning movement to run over Mu Chenfeng's side, passing him smoothly.

James couldn't help being shocked by the clean and neat passing action, while Mu Chenfeng was completely left behind.

Oscar smoothly entered the Heat penalty area and sent the ball to the basket with one enemy and two.

"Sure enough, I saw the right person." The fatigue in James' eyes has slowly appeared.

"It's almost time." The team doctor looked at the time, James paid in advance and caused his body to be overdrawn more seriously than imagined.

However, the game still has 3 minutes to end.

After being "one-vs-three" by Oscar, the morale of the Heat has fluctuated, especially Mu Chenfeng, he was so clean that there was nothing he could do, which made him a little frustrated.

"Keep your head up, the game is not over yet." Wade came over and patted Mu Chenfeng on the shoulder.

Mu Chenfeng slowly raised his head, looking at the "out of reach" point difference, the Heat had already played their offense to a near-perfect level, but the point difference couldn't catch up no matter what.

"Do we still have a chance?" Mu Chenfeng said slowly. This was the first time he felt hopeless about the game, and he could not see the possibility of victory at all.

"I don't know." Wade replied, "But I'm willing to give it a try. Maybe there will be a miracle. I have tasted the taste of failure, and that taste is not good." After speaking, Wade re-entered the game.

"." Mu Chenfeng looked at Wade's back.

"Are you giving up like this? This is not your style!"

Suddenly, a voice rang clearly in Mu Chenfeng's ear, and that voice was so clear in the noisy scene.

Following the direction of the voice, Mu Chenfeng saw a five-star red flag unfolding.

Surrounding the five-star red flag are all familiar faces.

Fang Tianzheng, Qiu Fei, Chen Xin, Ye Lin, Su Miao, Liu Tianyu, Zhang Jianing, Zhan Yang.
Everyone dressed in red and white team uniforms with a five-star red flag embroidered on the left chest. The entire Chinese national team came, even Su Mengyao also put on the national team uniform.

"You guys." Mu Chenfeng looked at the crowd and his heart was shocked.

"You are our leader, let them see the true strength of Chinese basketball!" Su Miao shouted at Mu Chenfeng.

"Real strength?" Mu Chenfeng became excited, "Look!"

Mu Chenfeng stretched out his fist at the entire national team, and everyone responded one after another, giving him high fives.

Mu Chenfeng moved his shoulders and returned to the arena energetically, "The fun has just begun."

"I leave it to you." Wade quickly passed the ball to Mu Chenfeng, "Give them some color."

Mu Chenfeng quickly advanced with the ball, completely ignoring the defense in front of him.

A deft change of direction passed Oscar.

"So fast, this guy doesn't slow down at all." Oscar exclaimed.

Then Rafael, who came to make up the defense, was also successfully passed by Mu Chenfeng with a change in rhythm, and the basket was in front of him.

"Boy, don't act wild." James quickly blocked him, blocking Mu Chenfeng's path.

The two jumped into the air at the same time.

"No one can stop me!" There was a fierce body collision between the two in the air.

This time, James lost!
"It's impossible." James obviously underestimated the power that Mu Chenfeng's body carried, and was knocked out during the confrontation.

boom! ! !
Mu Chenfeng dunked James.

Roar! ! !
There was an unbelievable sound in the arena.

"The captain was actually detained." The Lakers generals were stunned.

"His body has really reached its limit." Wade said meaningfully. From the moment James handed over the ball to Oscar, Wade began to doubt, and the failure of the confrontation with Mu Chenfeng this time verified Wade's guess.

Obviously, James couldn't accept such humiliation, and then deliberately found Mu Chenfeng's matchup in the following rounds, intending to save face.

James used his body to force Mu Chenfeng, but Mu Chenfeng did not move half a step.

James had some doubts in his eyes, when did Mu Chenfeng become so powerful?However, it's not that Mu Chenfeng's strength has become stronger, but that James' strength has become weaker.

Mu Chenfeng, who was fighting against him, had the best experience of this point, and it was this moment that made Mu Chenfeng truly feel the possibility of a comeback.

James' greatest advantage is gone.

"Your speed is too slow." Mu Chenfeng provocatively said.

Of course James wouldn't admit, "You know trash talk doesn't work for me."

Mu Chenfeng said coldly, "This is not trash talking." Immediately, Mu Chenfeng stretched out his hand and touched the basketball firmly. Fortunately, James reacted quickly and stabilized the ball.

Mu Chenfeng's confident expression made James very disgusted, and even became a little annoyed, "I want to completely destroy your damn self-confidence." After speaking, James stopped abruptly and pulled out his hand.

Snapped! ! !
The basketball was photographed by Mu Chenfeng again, "I told you, your speed is too slow."

James' eyes changed from shock to horror. He did not destroy Mu Chenfeng's confidence, but himself was the one who was destroyed.

Mu Chenfeng intercepted James' ball twice in a row, and successfully scored a counterattack, and the score was recovered a bit.

James completely lost the competitiveness of the game, and even became a burden to the team in the following games. His body and consciousness were in a rather sluggish state, and he was completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game. In order to further defeat James, the Heat improved the rhythm of the game again.

The main player fell into a bad game state, and the Lakers completely collapsed.

The score was caught up little by little.

Until the last 7 seconds left in the game, the Heat finally tied the score.

The only good news for the Lakers is that they have the last shot.

The two teams spent 2 consecutive timeouts to arrange the last 7 seconds.

With the current state of the Lakers, they don't want to go into overtime. If the game goes into overtime, there is no doubt that they don't have the capital to wrestle with the Heat, so they must firmly grasp this last chance to attack.

The pressure on the Heat is slightly less. It is best if they can complete the steal or cause the opponent to make mistakes to achieve a counterattack. If not, overtime is also acceptable, and overtime is more beneficial to them.

Both teams have no chance to time out, and the rest depends on the players themselves.

As soon as the Heat came up, they implemented a full-court man-to-man defense, which made it easy for the opponent to make mistakes.

The Lakers have already had a countermeasure to let the big center Rafael catch the ball, so that his vision and wingspan can receive the foul ball smoothly.

Rafael used his wingspan to successfully receive the ball, and the Heat's defense took advantage of the situation. As long as Rafael dropped the ball, he would be intercepted. Rafael only had to look for opportunities to pass the ball.

The first receiver, James, was firmly locked by Wade and could not catch the ball.

Time goes very "slowly".

"Raphael, here." Oscar's voice came from the backcourt. This was a tactic arranged by the Lakers. The success rate of backcourt support was higher. Rafael couldn't wait to hand over the hot potato to his teammates.

The basketball left Raphael's hands and flew towards Oscar.

"That's no problem." Oscar looked at the basketball flying towards him, and said secretly.

"Is it really okay?" From the side, a white afterimage came out and broke the ball.

Mu Chenfeng completes the steal! ! !
"54"

The audience shouted the countdown to the end of the game.

"Defend him!" James tried his best to return to the defense, and Oscar formed a double team against Mu Chenfeng.

"3"

Mu Chenfeng dribbled the ball to the left 45°, a place where countless miracles were born. Kobe has hit many lore in this position.

"2"

When the time was about to run out, Mu Chenfeng stopped the ball, and James and Oscar rushed forward.

"1"

Facing the two-person defense, Mu Chenfeng still decisively chose to shoot, leaning back for a three-pointer. In order to let the ball pass the two people's defense smoothly, Mu Chenfeng also deliberately increased the arc of the basketball shot.

The basketball slowly flies towards the hoop in the air.

There was no one in the auditorium, everyone stood up and stared at the flying basketball.

brush! ! !
The crisp sound of entering the net silenced the entire Staples.

Lore! ! !

Mu Chenfeng completed a fatal blow to the Los Angeles Lakers in the tiebreaker of the finals.

Suddenly, the Heat fell into an extremely crazy celebration.

Mu Chenfeng raised his arms high, accepting everyone's worship.

Su Mengyao entered the field and put a five-star red flag on Mu Chenfeng. At this moment, Chinese players have conquered the NBA.

James and his Lakers graciously applauded the Heat.

"I will lend it to you first, enjoy your moment of glory." James and the Heat hugged and exited sadly.

Stern handed over the glorious "O'Brien Cup" to the hands of the Heat, and Wade held it up high. He finally realized his dream of being a champion, and at the same time fulfilled the promise he made with the old Wade, winning the championship for the Heat.

If the O'Brien Cup is the highest collective honor, then the Finals MVP is the greatest compliment to a player's individual performance.

Many players have entered the FMVP selection, Wade, Mu Chenfeng and even James who lost the game.

Wade got a triple-double in the tiebreaker.

James even scored 50+.

However, these statistics will be overshadowed by Mu Chenfeng's great lore.

The last name mentioned by Stern was Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng not only won the highest collective honor, but also received the highest individual honor, becoming the first and only player in NBA history to win a championship and become FMVP at the same time.

This night belonged to Mu Chenfeng and Chinese basketball.

When Mu Chenfeng held up the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy at the same time, golden rain began to fall on the scene.

At this moment, a yellow-skinned Chinese stood at the highest peak of the world's highest level basketball arena.
