Chapter 1023 Change and Maturity

"It seems that the situation is not good." Guo Shuyao frowned slightly, and pulled Meng Yun.

Meng Yun nodded and said: "The situation is not good for Xiang Long. It is difficult for him to get the ball. At this time, he can only rely on himself."

"Rely on yourself?" Guo Shuyao said angrily, "The ball can't even reach him, how can we rely on it? Why are these people like this? Why don't they pass the ball to Xiang Long?"

"Hehe." Meng Yun said with a smile: "This is a rookie competition. Although we are teammates in name, we all know it well. It's just a moment and a half. After that, you go your way and I cross my bridge. The next time we meet, we will be opponents, and no one has to give anyone face."

"Although the ball cannot reach Xiang Long, he can grab it by himself."

With that said, Meng Yun pointed to the field: "Look, there are several players on the World Team, Murray, Hilde, Bogdanovic, and Markkanen. Among them, only Markkanen is taller. But he didn't rebound much, he just shot outside, because Murray, Hield, and Bogdanovic not only refused to pass the ball to Xianglong, but once Markkanen was in the low post, they also refused to pass him. Pass."

"Now the world team is actually fighting on their own, similar to the All-Star Game. There are very few well-regulated spaces to open up space for low-post singles inside."

"And now Xiang Long is the most powerful rebounder among them. Xiang Long is still a little too straightforward. He grabs rebounds and passes them to the guards. If he says no to them, he holds the ball and advances by himself. Hehe, this approach I actually don’t agree with it, it would be completely embarrassing.”

Speaking of this, Meng Yun couldn't help being a little embarrassed. He also did this kind of thing before, and Xiang Long did it before, but if it is not necessary, it is best not to do it.

Meng Yun said again: "Look at the opponent's players again, Ball, Dunn, Ingram, Kuzma, Brogdon, among the five, only Ingram and Kuzma are taller, but they are all taller. If it’s not inside, Xiang Long won’t be able to grab rebounds, so Xiang Long actually has a lot of second-attack opportunities.”

Several players of the US team are definitely not Xiang Long's opponents in rebounding. Meng Yun knows very well that Xiang Long's rebounding ability is definitely higher than these players.

So why didn't he have a second rebound in front, and didn't form a second offensive score?
This is actually because the World Team's offense is too fast, Xiang Long is still asking for the ball in the low post, or simply pulls out of the three-point line, ready to shoot a three-pointer, but his teammates don't pass the ball to him, instead he snaps. Throwing, Xiang Long didn't even have time to rush into the inside to get stuck, how to grab the offensive rebound, and where did the second attack come from?
"Look." Meng Yun said with a smile: "Xiang Long is not a fool, let alone an honest man who allows others to bully him. He will deal with it soon."

Hearing what Meng Yun said, Guo Shuyao turned her head to comfort Nicole in a low voice, telling her not to worry.

on the field.

Xiang Long's face was cold, he looked at his teammates around him, and then at his opponent, thinking about it, Meng Yun could see what was going on on the field, and Xiang Long could see it too.

So he chose the second method Meng Yun said.

This time, Xiang Long didn't ask for the ball in the low post, and he didn't pull beyond the three-point line. He rushed to the inside and hovered on the edge of the paint, grabbing positions, getting stuck, and waiting for rebounds.

"boom!"

Maybe it was a turn of events, as soon as he got stuck, his teammate hit a shot. Xiang Long reached out to grab the rebound, feinted a bit, and put the ball in with a backhand.

Guo Shuyao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Meng Yun in surprise: "You hit the mark."

Meng Yun chuckled: "If you want to reward me, give me a kiss, let me kiss you as well."

Guo Shuyao gave him a charming roll of eyes, but at the moment it is in public, not to mention that Grandpa Meng Yun and his father Guo Hai are both nearby, so she is not ashamed.

On the court, the situation changed.

Xiang Long completely gave up supporting and catching the ball, but went directly to grab the rebound. On the offensive end, he grabbed the rebound or handed it to the guard. On the offensive end, he won't be polite when he got the second rebound.

"boom!"

The world team hit the iron again. Kuzma wanted to grab the rebound, but suddenly felt a darkness above his head, and then the basketball was grabbed by a pair of big hands and poured into the basket.

Xianglong again!

In the auditorium, fans were screaming and cheering for Xiang Long.

This is a no button, full of domineering, Kuzma was knocked away.

After Xiang Long scored the second attack for the third time, the US team requested a timeout. The coach of the World Team replaced Hilde, Murray, and Markkanen. Gdanovich.

The coaches in the previous games saw it in their eyes. Xiang Long did a good job and did not mix personal emotions. Even if he was a little rejected, he still handed over the rebounds to the guards as soon as he got the backcourt rebounds, which made the coach very satisfied. The second attack on the offensive end is the embodiment of Xianglong's strength.

Compared with Xiang Long's performance, Hilde and Murray are far behind.

The world team made substitutions, replacing Embiid, Simmons, and Saric.

This is also intentional by the coach. Embiid, Simmons, and Saric are all players of the 76ers. Embiid and Simmons took care of Xiang Long before. As their teammates, Saric, even if it is not Taking care of Xiang Long, at least not deliberately crowding out Xiang Long.

In this way, Xiang Long will have more opportunities.

Sure enough, after Embiid and Simmons came up, Xianglong's situation changed quickly, and he gained more possessions and opportunities on the offensive end. He didn't have to work hard to fight for offensive rebounds, and his scoring efficiency also increased.

Seeing that Xiang Long's score started to rise rapidly, Nicole smiled, turned her head suddenly, and said to Meng Yun, "Meng Yun, thank you."

"Thank me?" Meng Yun was surprised, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for helping Xiang Long so much." Nicole said: "I know him. If it was before, when he was squeezed out by his teammates, he would definitely not do what he did just now. Push forward, don’t pass the ball to others, just play it by yourself. But now he is not like this, he has really changed a lot since he got to the Heat, all because of you.”

Meng Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Hehe, I will accept your 'thank you'. But it is not all due to me, Xiang Long's change is because he is willing to change, and also because he has become Mature. Life teaches us a lot, and we all grow up and mature, don't we?"

Nicole's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, you said a lot, we will all grow up and become mature, and Xiang Long is indeed much more mature than before."

Immediately, she showed a happy smile.

Watching the man she loves become more and more mature and excellent, Nicole also feels more and more at ease and at ease.
