Legendary star

Chapter 852
"Beautiful job, Meng!"

Erik Spoelstra called early just over a minute into the second quarter after Meng Xu intercepted Mario Chalmers' pass three times in a row and made a fast break Timeout, when Meng Xu walked off the court, on the Spurs bench, head coach Popovich, assistant coach Brett Brown, and Tim Duncan, who sat on the bench after the first quarter, and Tony Parker, all rushed to Meng Xu's side.

Relying on Meng Xu's three fast breaks at the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs established an 11-point lead at the beginning of the second quarter. Although there are still three quarters before the end of the game, the 11-point lead cannot Ensure that the Spurs beat the Heat 100%, but there is no doubt that the Spurs have established a huge advantage. If the Heat do not handle it properly, they will definitely repeat the mistakes of the previous game. The Spurs pulled out a 20-point difference, so the Spurs are extremely excited now, because as long as they win today's home game, they are one step away from the O'Brien Cup.

Therefore, after all the players on the field were off the field, most of the players in the Spurs lineup except Meng Xu looked excited. The current Spurs are not the same team that reached the finals many times and was crowned The Spurs are the champions. In this Spurs, except for Meng Xu, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili, all the rest are rookies in the finals. For the first time in their careers, they can win the finals. The championship trophy, how can people hold back the excitement in their hearts?People like Meng Xu and Duncan haven't tasted the taste of the finals and championships for many years, so facing the O'Brien Cup that is already close at hand, even Tim Duncan, who is famous for his facial paralysis This moment is a bit out of control.

"Well, well..." Feeling that the emotions on the bench had gotten a little out of control, Popovich, who was standing next to Meng Xu, immediately coughed a few times, and then scanned the surrounding people one by one with his eyes. Spurs player.

"Cough, cough..."

"Uh-huh..."

After Popovich scanned the week with stern eyes, there was a cough immediately on the Spurs bench. Those who didn't know thought that the Spurs had collectively contracted the flu, and after the coughing ended, almost all Spurs players , regained his expressionless expression, and then stared at the head coach Popovich intently, waiting for his next arrangement.

It was completely different from the funny atmosphere on the Spurs side. When the Heat players on the field were off the court, the Heat looked dignified or confused from the main force to the substitute, especially Mario, who was intercepted by Meng Xu three times in a row. Chalmers was even more like a walking dead.

At this time, not to mention the players of the Heat, even the head coach of the Heat, Erik Spoelstra, now has a confused and helpless expression. At the beginning of the second quarter, when Meng When Xu started to defend Mario Chalmers, Erik Spoelstra had a premonition that something was wrong. Although Meng Xu is the best No. 3 in NBA history, Meng Xu once played a cameo A point guard for two seasons, and won the title of No. 1 killer by blowing up all opposing point guards. Those who are faster than me are not as strong as me, and those who are stronger than me are not as fast as me. This set of theorems is in It doesn't matter whether you are a strong defender or a speedy defender, you are not good in front of Meng Xu, and compared to those swingmen with unbelievable physical fitness, these physical fitness is a little worse. When facing Meng Xu, the No. 1 position that was intercepted was completely eaten by Meng Xu.

So when Meng Xu was assigned to the No. 1 position by Popovich, Eric Spoelstra had already anticipated the situation that Mario Chalmers might face, but let Eric Spoelstra What Poelstra didn't expect was that Mario Chalmers was even worse than he expected, or it can be said that Meng Xu's blockade of Mario Chalmers was far beyond imagination.

"Okay, everyone, calm down, Mario, you take a break first, Dwyane, after you play, you take the lead." Looking at Mario Chalmers, who was expressionless and extremely depressed, Aye Rick Spoelstra knew that he couldn't slow down in a short time, so Eric Spoelstra could only arrange for Wade to be the No. 1 position and let Ray Allen Replacing Mario Chalmers.

For Meng Xu's terrifying defensive and stealing ability, Eric Spoelstra has no way to deal with it. As for whether Mario Chalmers can slow down, Eric Spoelstra has no way to deal with it. I don't know, what he can do now is to replace Mario Chalmers with Wade, who is better at handling the ball. As for whether Wade can break Meng Xu's blockade after playing, it is not up to him to decide. Yes, but Eric Spoelstra is very clear about the result of Wade's inability to break Meng Xu's blockade.

After the game restarted, Dwyane Wade, who replaced Mario Chalmers as No. 1, kept staring at Meng Xu not far away, although Wade didn't think Meng Xu could defend Mario Chalmers as well. In that way, he defended himself in a panic, but Mario Chalmers' embarrassment when he faced the blockade just now made Wade extra vigilant. Wade knew Meng Xu's ability very well.

Therefore, when the game restarted, Dwyane Wade was very careful when protecting the ball in the face of Meng Xu's close pressing, and even in the backcourt, Wade did not play long under Meng Xu's defense Time to hold the ball, but look for opportunities in the backcourt, and hand the basketball to James who is supporting him.

Although after Wade became the No. 1 position, the Heat did not have the situation where the ball was intercepted before the offense started, but the situation on the field and the performance of the Heat players on the field still cannot make Eric Spur Stella is satisfied.

Wade can hardly move under Meng Xu's defense, and needs the support of his teammates to dribble in the backcourt. This means that the Heat's James Garwade tactical system will become James' one-man show alone. Under the blockade by Meng Xu, James had to consume more physical energy. He started to hold the ball in the backcourt, and then dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to organize. In the long run, James' physical fitness will definitely not be able to persist in playing the whole court. .

And now it's not just Wade. After Ray Allen came on the court, Kawhi Leonard quickly switched positions with Ginobili and launched a close defense against Ray Allen. The Spurs' key care, even after being stripped out of the Heat's tactical system, the Heat will have to rely on James' personal ability.

"The Heat's offense is in trouble. If Wade and Ray Allen can't break through the Spurs' defense and help James, the Heat will definitely not be able to reverse the situation on the court."

Before the start of this game, Eric Spoelstra wanted to disrupt the Spurs' offensive system by pressing the whole court and let them fall into a one-on-one fight, but now, the Heat are being beaten by the Spurs. The way is also given to him.
