Chapter 1062 41, Eliminate the Bucks

The reason why Meng Yun did not give his full strength in the previous two playoff games was because the opponent was not strong enough, he did not need to make a full shot, but only needed to control the situation. With the excellent performance of his teammates, the overall strength of the team was enough to defeat Bucks.

The second is to accumulate strength, and the next game is the test.

For defeating the Bucks, Meng Yun is full of confidence. After all, where is the difference in strength between the two sides? It's hard to say what the opponents will be in the second round, but most of them will be the Celtics.During the regular season, the Heat played against the Celtics more than once, and Meng Yun is also confident in defeating them.

What he needs to gather strength to deal with is the Eastern Conference Finals and even the Finals.

This time the Cavaliers ranked fifth in the East in the regular season and failed to enter the top four. Their first opponent was the 76ers. From the current point of view, the Cavaliers and the 76ers have played two games. The Cavaliers lead 2:0. As Meng Yun expected, even though it seems that the Cavaliers' strength has been greatly reduced after Irving left, James is the magic needle of the Cavaliers, and everyone knows that James in the playoffs is the complete version of James.

Although the 76ers played well this season, they are still too young and inexperienced in the playoffs. Although they are fourth in the Eastern Conference, many people are actually not optimistic about them.

Meng Yun is also not optimistic about the 76ers. In the end, the Cavaliers will probably win.

Then entering the second round, the Cavaliers will play against the No. [-] Raptors in the East. James has always had experience playing the Raptors.

Everyone knows that the Raptors are not afraid of any team, but they are afraid of James. They basically never win when they meet James.

So don't look at the Raptors ranking first in the East, but when it comes to facing the Cavaliers, Meng Yun feels that they may not be able to beat the Cavaliers.

So who will play against in the final Eastern Conference Finals?

Raptors, or Cavaliers?

In fact, Meng Yuning was fighting the Raptors, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that this time he would meet the Cavaliers again.

Meng Yun has a deep understanding of the strength of the Cavaliers. In the seven matchups in the Eastern Conference finals last season, the regular season contest, and the strength of the [-]-year-old man, Meng Yun had to admire.

In Meng Yun's view, the Cavaliers are more difficult to deal with than the Raptors.

So Meng Yun is accumulating strength, preparing to deal with more brutal games and stronger opponents, and at the same time hoping to break through the bottleneck in such games and make it to the next level.

This afternoon, the Heat will board a plane to Milwaukee.

A day later, the Heat challenged the Bucks away.

The Bucks played very well in this game. After returning to the home court, they obviously found a familiar feeling. The players feel good and have a high shooting percentage.

In the first half, the Bucks once suppressed the Heat, leading the Heat by [-] points.

But soon the Heat counterattacked, quickly chased the score back, and overtook the score. After that, the two sides launched a tug-of-war, and it was not until the last few minutes that the winner was decided.

In the last few minutes, Meng Yun broke through continuously, and the Bucks couldn't stop it at all. Even if he stopped, it was a foul. Sending Meng Yun to the free throw line was no different from sending points.

In the end, relying on Meng Yun's steady scoring at the last moment, the Heat beat the Bucks without any risk and won three consecutive victories in the series.

However, in the fourth game of the series, the Bucks rebounded strongly. Antetokounmpo scored 41 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists. Middleton and Bledsoe also scored 18 points and 19 points respectively. Under the desperate situation of being eliminated at 0:3, the Bucks burst out with extremely terrifying potential, which can be said to be super-level performance.

After the Heat led 3:0, the players were somewhat slack and did not play well, and finally lost to the Bucks 113:125.

The series score was rewritten to 3:1.

After the game, coach Spoelstra severely reprimanded the Heat players in the locker room, and even Meng Yun couldn't escape, because they took it lightly and relaxed after leading 3:0.

For a team with championship aspirations, that's no good.

In coach Spoelstra's prediction, the series with the Bucks should be swept 4:0.

After being reprimanded by Coach Spoelstra, everyone came to their senses, and then returned to the Heat's home court. In the fifth game of the series, the Heat broke out with a terrifying fighting power that they did not have in the previous games. Both defensively and offensively, they played extremely well.

The Bucks are obviously weak in succession, and the players are not in good condition.

After all, because of the difference in strength in the previous 4 games, they played very hard, which consumed them a lot.

Relatively speaking, the consumption of the Heat team was much smaller before, the strength and mentality were dominant, there were more players available for rotation, and the physical strength was relatively abundant.

So when the Heat broke out, the situation became one-sided. No matter what the factors were, it was not conducive to the Bucks, but after three quarters, the game lost its suspense.

This disappointed many fans who still had expectations for the Bucks.

When the final game ended, the Heat defeated the Bucks 128:113, and the Bucks were eliminated with a total score of 4:1 in the series.

In this game, Meng Yun scored 33 points, 14 assists, and 7 rebounds. Xiang Long scored 17 points and Lu Wei scored 24 points. It can be said that they all played very well.

Antetokounmpo of the Bucks failed to continue his bravery in the previous game, scoring only 27 points, and his shooting percentage was not very high, only 40.00%.

At this moment, the game is over and the whole series is over.

Antetokounmpo silently walked towards the player tunnel, keeping his head down, unable to see the expression on his face, only his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

Lost!

Lost to the Heat again.

Losing to the Heat in the playoffs for two consecutive years made the Bucks players feel blocked. They felt that the Heat were like a mountain lying in front of them, and they couldn't get over it.

In fact, the Bucks are not the only ones who feel this way.

When the series between the Heat and the Bucks ended, all members of the Celtics felt a little bit more serious. They could already foresee that in the next round, they would encounter the Heat.

At this moment, Owen's mood is the most complicated.

In the Cavaliers last season, he failed to gain the upper hand in the match against Meng Yun, and he even held a grudge against him for a while, regarding Meng Yun as his archenemy.

Unexpectedly, the Celtics would still meet Meng Yun in the playoffs.

"I may not be able to beat you, but our team will beat your team." Owen took a deep breath, full of fighting spirit.

He knew that Meng Yun had grown to another height in the two matches in the regular season this season, surpassing his own height.

At that time, he was depressed, but in the end he cheered up, adjusted his mentality, and abandoned the dispute with Meng Yun.

Now that they will meet in the playoffs, he will no longer be persistent in defeating Meng Yun, but he will do his best to help the Celtics beat the Heat.
