Chapter 673 Waiting for the Wind to Return

Mu Chenfeng's confident turning around is a reminder to Christine that although he has reached the technical level of the NBA, players in the NBA are also graded. Compared with star players, the gap is still very obvious.

"Thank you, coach." The first person Mu Chenfeng thanked was Louis. It was precisely because of his words that Mu Chenfeng regained his original aspiration and regained his courage to play.

"Although we are 1-3 behind, there should be still time." Louis patted Mu Chenfeng on the shoulder and said, "Go and lead your team to create miracles."

"Yes!" Mu Chenfeng replied firmly.

The big score behind made the air of Miami, a city of enthusiasm, look a lot more dignified. Their team experienced a "1-3" backward situation in history, and in the end they lost that round of the series and lost the championship. It can be said that there is a lot of resistance to this score in the hearts of Heat fans.

Moreover, in history, only the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James created a miracle in 2015, and the rest of the disadvantaged teams failed to win the trophy.

They don't want to be the second team in history to lose a championship while creating the best record in history.

The Heat, who returned to Miami, started the training camp and actively prepared for the fifth game. It was a life-and-death battle in the true sense. If they lost, the season would be completely over.

However, the Heat's team training atmosphere is worrying. Players including Barrett and Wade are not in high spirits during training. They know that falling behind 1-3 means that their probability of winning the championship is less than 1%. However, Mu Chenfeng, an important player who lost the ball, still has no news.

In G4, the team replaced Mu Chenfeng with Williams. Facts have proved that the level difference between him and Mu Chenfeng is too far. The shooting rate of 11 of 2 from the field seriously dragged down the team's retreat. Under the ebb and flow, Oscar, who was facing him, played the best game of the series. He contributed 25 points in the game and was the first contributor to the Lakers' victory.

It is precisely because of Oscar's unsolvable performance that James' physical fitness has been preserved, which has paved the way for the fifth game. He will fight in the fifth game with all his strength, and he will take away the O'Brien trophy at home in Miami.

This wave of operations can be said to be murderous and heartbreaking.

When the Heat were training, there were also some official league staff on the sidelines. They were making some arrangements for the venue. Because the Lakers had the opportunity to end the suspense of the finals at the American Airlines Center, they had to make some preparations for the championship awards in advance.

It's a bit infuriating to have such a venue arrangement in front of the Heat.

Barrett, who couldn't stand it anymore, went to the sidelines to communicate with the staff, hoping that they would not interfere with the team's mentality and training in this way. The staff decided to arrange the work after the training.

"You have seen it, the whole world thinks that the Lakers will win the next game." Wade looked at the banners and decorations with the words "2020 NBA Championship" printed on the sidelines, and called the players together. At this time, we must reduce the damage and influence of the external environment on the team. Wade gathered the players together again and again, and kept telling them.

On the Internet, the media also exaggerated the news of the "Lakers Championship" and gave super high odds of winning the championship. More than 90% of fans believed that the Lakers would win the championship in Miami.

"Remember that the season is not over, we still have a chance." Wade still maintains his obsession with winning. He is the only player in the team who has tasted the taste of failure. He doesn't want to experience that feeling again.

"Wade is right. Before the championship belongs to you, everything can't be said." Rondo walked in slowly from the sidelines. During this time, he was very busy. He had just dealt with the gossip media, and it was not easy to clean his ears. He immediately returned to the arena to join the team. Winning the championship is the top priority in his mind, and he must stand with the players.

"Coach." The players immediately adjusted their state, at least looking more positive.

"Coach, is there any news about Mu Chenfeng?" Wade asked with concern.

"No." Rondo didn't even have a second's gap, and directly and seamlessly connected Wade's question. He knew that the team members were most concerned about Mu Chenfeng's situation.

The minds of the players are no longer on the game, and distraction is fatal to the game.

"Without Mu Chenfeng, we have to win the game without Mu Chenfeng." Rondo said, "Mu Chenfeng is not the whole team, and he can't completely decide the outcome of the game. We need to hold the victory of the game in our own hands."

The implication is that in the next game, you can only rely on yourself.

After getting a clear answer from Rondo, the players settled down. Since the game will continue, they will play the game as the last game, although it is very likely that it will be the last game.

Wade immediately organized the training of his teammates, and Williams still replaced Mu Chenfeng. This was a helpless choice, and Williams finally felt the pressure of Mu Chenfeng on the field.

Williams obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the team's other late-serving players during training, but in order to balance the team's combat power, teammates needed to slow down the rhythm to accommodate him, which made his performance gradually effective.

The training lasted only 10 minutes, and it stopped when Gaia complained.

"How to play this?" Gaia played very uncomfortable, including other players who were not playing in the rhythm he said he was familiar with, and their performances were not ideal.

Williams can indeed be a sharp knife on the bench, but it is a bit far-fetched to let him start in terms of strength. Besides, he is 34 years old. He may still have some leftover energy on the offensive end, but he is full of loopholes on the defensive end. He always needs his teammates to help him defend.

Gaia's temper has always been hot, and now he couldn't help venting it. His teammates, including the coach, also expressed their understanding of his venting. The team also tried other personnel, but the results were not satisfactory.

At this time, Mu Chenfeng was the person the team members wanted most. If he was there, all these problems would be solved easily.

"If Mu Chenfeng doesn't come back, we'll just wait and see the Lakers win the cup in G5." After speaking, Gaia got up in the arena angrily.
