"Don't give him the ball for a while, let him calm down." Gaia suggested.
Wade refused without thinking, "No, I will give it to him, I believe he can make it."
When Wade came back to the court, he said his "promise" immediately, and continued to feed the ball to Mu Chenfeng. The training took effect, and Mu Chenfeng was not in a hurry to complete the attack, but was waiting for his teammates to take their positions.
The speed of Mu Chenfeng's adjustment was really too fast. After a series of unfavorable attacks, he chose to change his attack method.
The Heat team members arrived one after another, and they were all in order. Mu Chenfeng saw the loopholes in the Lakers' defense at a glance. He used his feigned offense to tear a hole in the defense, and finally passed the ball to Gaia, who was already hungry inside. Gaia held the ball in both hands and turned around.
"What did you say to our players just now?" Gaia glanced at Rafael with those murderous eyes.
The Heat gradually stabilized the situation, and the Lakers' offense became no longer easy. After two consecutive fast breaks, the Heat specifically targeted their fast breaks, forcing the Lakers to slow down the pace of the game.
Slowing down is the real horror of the Lakers. James' post-up single is one of the signature stunts in the league that is almost unsolvable. No one can restrain him. Even Barrett can only watch as James hits him on the back and then hits a turnaround jumper.
At the beginning, James scored 8 points alone, and his offensive efficiency was extremely high.
"Isn't it possible to see James going all out again today? He suffered from leg cramps in the last game."
"The Lakers will definitely not let him play for so long today."
Just when everyone was guessing how long James would play today, the Lakers replaced him in 6 minutes of the game.
Until James left the field, he himself had scored 13 points, hit 7 goals in 6 shots, and sent 1 assist at the same time. The Lakers led by 19 points at 14:5.
The way the Lakers used James was too cautious, which seriously shortened his playing time in each quarter. However, his statistics did not drop because of this, and his efficiency increased dramatically. The Lakers planned to let James explode the strongest offensive firepower in the limited playing time.
When James was off the field, Oscar and Felix took over the offensive and organizational rights respectively. After the tacit cooperation between the two when James was off the field in the previous game, the coaching staff of the team can feel more at ease in handing over the team to the two "rookies" to lead the team, which also provides James with more sufficient rest time.
The two did not live up to the team's expectations. Although the two were not comparable to James in terms of absolute talent, the two brought another possibility to the Lakers. The amazing tacit understanding between the two on the court made people feel as if they were one person. Oscar looked over. Felix understood his thoughts and lobbed the ball.
This cooperation exceeded everyone's expectations. I thought that Oscar would stabilize the ball before attacking, but he never thought that he would complete the shot while catching the ball.
"Good shot!" The big brother James on the sidelines couldn't help standing up and waving the towel in his hand. The better the two play, the more rest time James can get, and the Lakers will be one step closer to victory.
The Lakers played a tacit cooperation, while the Heat gradually found the touch of mid-range and long-range shooting. Mu Chenfeng and Wade hit mid-range and long-range shots one after another. Even Butler made a rare three-pointer, closing the point difference to 2 points.
The first quarter is coming to an end, and the Lakers' lead is getting smaller and smaller, but the Lakers have no intention of letting James play.
"It seems that James will not play in the first quarter." The Heat said, looking at James who was sitting safely off the court.
"I'm afraid they have other plans." Wade looked suspiciously, "This will reduce his consumption. They should be saving energy for the second half."
"Reserve physical fitness? So early? Don't they worry that we will take advantage of this period to widen the gap?"
"Aren't they two still here?" Wade turned his attention to Oscar and Felix. These two guys caused a lot of trouble for the Heat, so that the Heat didn't lead the score for so long.
With Mu Chenfeng missing a shot at the buzzer at the end, the Lakers took a 36:34 lead in the first quarter.
The two who walked back to the bench were not very satisfied with the result, "Coach, we can only do this."
The Lakers will be very satisfied with the players' performance in the first quarter. The Lakers coaching staff did not expect the team to enter the second quarter with a leading posture when James rested early.
"It's been great." James couldn't help standing up and high-fiving the two of them. They have always grown up under James' halo, and now they can also be on their own.
"Our tactics in the following games are similar to those in the first quarter, so when James is resting later, we still have to trouble you two, and we must hold on." The Lakers coach said.
"Yes." The two agreed in unison.
The "tenacity" of the Lakers surprised the Heat. They did not expect that they could still play a dominant game without James. The two rookies Oscar and Felix completely revitalized the team, not only making up for James' scoring vacancies, but even completing the organizational tasks perfectly.
Oscar scored a total of 10 points in the first quarter, 6 of which came after James was off the court, and Felix did not score. He put all his attention on organizing and sorting out the team's offense. He sent 4 assists in the first quarter, breaking his own record of assists in a single quarter.
"Felix's passing can only be described as ghostly." Felix's passing route is very tricky. Not only can he successfully confuse his opponents, but sometimes his teammates will also be confused. If you are not careful, you may miss the best time to catch the ball. Moreover, his passes are all deadly. As long as he can receive it, it means a goal.
"You guys did a great job, leave it to me in the second quarter." James took off his coat and put it on again.
"I guessed right, they just want James to preserve his physical fitness and magnify his danger infinitely."
The Heat are ready for a fierce battle, and James and "O + Fei" take turns leading the team, leaving the Heat with no room to breathe.
