Chapter 796 The Return of the King

"Sean, put it on, tighter, tighter, tighter."

Seeing Sean Battier being squeezed away by Meng Xu time and time again, Heat coach Eric Spoelstra yelled repeatedly on the sidelines, making Battier Post it after squeezing it out. Battier's defense is very good, but due to his age, Battier's physical fitness is getting worse and worse, so expecting Battier to defend Meng Xu alone is obviously a little bit of thinking too much.

And after the Heat changed their pick-and-roll defense against the Spurs, the Spurs responded without any timeouts, as Eric Spoelstra asked Shane Battier to After Meng Xu and Duncan pick-and-roll, they gave up defending Duncan to defend Meng Xu, so after Meng Xu and Duncan completed the pick-and-roll, they went down to Duncan. Tim Duncan, who was almost unguarded, easily He scored 6 points in a row, so Eric Spoelstra's move to make up for the west wall is now making up for the west wall and collapsing the east wall.

"Sean Battier's defense against Meng Xu has completely failed, and the Heat's move to release Tim Duncan after the pick-and-roll is also unclear. It is really hard to imagine that Eric is a champion The head coach." Barkley on the sidelines made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Erik Spoelstra, and his on-the-spot command was too bad.

When Barkley was venting his dissatisfaction with Eric Spoelstra, Eric Spoelstra, who was standing on the sidelines, also started to turn around in a hurry. A simple pick and roll made Eric Spoelstra Ke Spoelstra was stumped, as the newly promoted coach of the championship, Eric Spoelstra was quite confident, and before the start of this game, Eric Spoelstra Erstra also made a lot of plans, including how to defend the Spurs' passing ball and how to break the Spurs' defense. Eric Spoelstra made several plans in total, which can be described as very detailed. Prepare to use a victory to foil the Heat's championship ring ceremony, but now the Spurs are picking and rolling on the offensive end and shrinking on the defensive end, making Erik Spoelstra sweat profusely.

Eric Spoelstra thought about it. In fact, the root of the problem still lies with Meng Xu. First of all, Meng Xu returned after four years of retirement. The Heat also underestimated his current strength. In Eric Spoelstra's imagination, Meng Xu can at most have [-]% of the strength of four years ago after his comeback, but Meng Xu is actually not far behind four years ago.Another point is that Meng Xu's style of play is different from anyone in the current league, so the Heat also need time to adapt. Adding the two together, the Heat are now beaten on the ground by the Spurs.

The arrival of the official timeout in the first quarter finally gave Eric Spoelstra a chance to breathe, and in this timeout, Eric Spoelstra also made a A bold decision to replace Sean Battier with Udonis Haslem and let James play against Meng Xu at the third position.

Letting James go against Meng Xu's trump card is basically Eric Spoelstra's last hole card and method. Sean Battier alone can't restrain Meng Xu at all, double-teaming, He had to be taught by Meng Xu's passing, so Eric Spoelstra simply pulled James out and asked James to match up with Meng Xu, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. Meng Xu exerted pressure.

"Chris, speed, speed, pay attention to the speed of your movement on the defensive end." Seeing that the timeout is about to end, Eric Spoelstra, who was still a little worried, gave a pass to Chris Bosh call.

After the game restarted, James directly posted on Meng Xu. After coming to the Heat, James began to gain weight. Now he weighs more than 260 pounds, so it is impossible for Meng Xu to squeeze easily like he did to Battier. Open James' post defense.

And the fans at the scene exclaimed after James posted Meng Xu, one was the former No. Direct matchup is a scene that countless fans want to see, and the Heat players on the scene even shouted James' name in unison.

"LeBron, your defense is very good. Compared with when I left, you have improved a lot, but if you think you can stop me like this, then you are wrong." After receiving a pass from Tony Parker, Meng Xu did not move laterally with the ball to seek his teammates' pick-and-roll and Yan Hua, but changed his posture, from facing James sideways to leaning sideways on James.

James, who knew that he couldn't talk to Meng Xu in terms of trash talk, didn't compete with Meng Xu for tongues, but focused all his attention on Meng Xu, closely watching Meng Xu's every move, and prepared to guard against him. Under Meng Xu's attack.

"Come on!" When Meng Xu started to slap the basketball faster, James knew that Meng Xu was about to start.

Soon, after Meng Xu pushed James sideways, his body began to turn towards the right side, and James, who obviously expected Meng Xu to turn around, also quickly took a step forward to the right side of his body, blocking Meng Xu. After Xu turned around, there was room for advancement, but James' move to the right also exposed the left side of his body.

After occupying the forward route after Meng Xu's turn, James was thinking about Meng Xu's next move, but to James' embarrassment, Meng Xu pulled his body back abruptly when his body turned halfway , and then completed a turn to the left at an extremely fast speed, and wiped James behind.

And after James got rid of by Meng Xu, Udonis Haslem immediately gave up his defense against Boris Diaw, rushed to defend Meng Xu, and occupied Meng Xu's path to the basket one step ahead of time, Haslem knew very well that he couldn't defend against Meng Xu at all, so what Haslem was doing at the moment was to delay Meng Xu's attack time and buy time for James to return to defense.

"Too naive! Do you think you can stop me like this?" Looking at Haslem, who had already made a defensive posture in the paint area, Meng Xu, who was accelerating after getting rid of James, directly stopped He stopped and made a jump shot about a meter away from Haslem.

"A beautiful back-turning dribbler. In the NBA, there is a breakthrough and dribbler. You know that he will break through to the right, but you just can't prevent him. This kind of breakthrough is called Iverson. There is another kind of breakthrough, less than Before you get rid of him, you don't even know where he will break through, and this kind of breakthrough is called Meng Xu!" After Meng Xu successfully got rid of James' defense and rushed to the basket of the Heat with the ball, the commentary seat Reggie Miller on the screen also dragged a few words intoxicated to describe Meng Xu's back-turning breakthrough.

"Meng Xu's emergency stop jump shot, but Meng Xu's jump is too high!" Looking at Meng Xu leaping high in front of Haslem, Kenny Smith now has only one thought in his heart, the king come back!
