Chapter 1125 The situation is not good
Under Meng Yun's outstanding performance, the Heat had the upper hand, and the point difference between the two sides was also narrowing, quickly changing from 11 points to 7 points.

Coach Cole glanced at the time, and now it's been 3 minutes in the fourth quarter. After thinking about it, he decided to make a substitution, replacing Green with Durant.

"KD." Coach Kerr urged, "Your task is to score, and we need you to score. As long as we score, we are not afraid of the other side."

"Yeah." Durant nodded.

The previous lineup of the Warriors consisted of McGee, Bell, Green, Iguodala, and Livingston. They did not have a strong scoring point. They were all piecemeal. You come and I come, and there is no targeted tactic. , so the attack efficiency is not high.

The Heat, on the other hand, have Meng Yun as a clear offensive point, and their tactics revolve around Meng Yun. The offensive efficiency is actually higher than that of the Warriors, so the point difference has narrowed by 4 points.

Now the fourth quarter has only been played for 3 minutes, and it is not yet time to replace all the main lineup, so Coach Cole sent Durant to solve the offensive problem.

As long as you can score on your own side, it will not be so easy for the opponent to chase points.

Here, Coach Spoelstra also made a substitution, replacing Johnson with Xiang Long.

The Warriors didn't have a strong scoring point before. The Heat had Meng Yun, and Meng Yun arranged the scoring, so it doesn't matter whether they have an advantage inside. But now that the opponent has replaced Durant, Meng Yun will definitely face Durant.

In this way, other people must stand up to share some of the pressure for Meng Yun, and the current insiders of the Warriors are McGee and Bell, relatively speaking, they are both fast-moving and dexterous, not Rooney. Confrontational, so coach Spoelstra decided to send Xiang Long up, Xiang Long has a good scoring ability.

"beep"

The substitution is over.

Durant faced Meng Yun, and the two faced off again. Durant's mission was to score, so there was no hesitation. It was a singles immediately, continuous cross steps, and then a sudden breakthrough.

In fact, Durant can use dry pulls, but he didn't, because Coach Cole told him that if he is playing against Meng Yun, he must consume Meng Yun as much as possible.

Meng Yun played from the beginning of the fourth quarter. No matter whether he wants to play the entire fourth quarter or take a 2-minute break in the middle, his physical energy consumption will not be small.So consuming Meng Yun's physical fitness is an opportunity to defeat the Heat. Once Meng Yun's physical fitness can't keep up, the Heat will be finished.

"Shh!"

Durant jumped up after breaking through, dodged in the air, and then made a small throw, and the basketball hit the net, scoring two points for the Warriors.

This is entirely a personal ability. Meng Yun's defense is already in place, but Durant still has an advantage in height and wingspan, and his skills are good enough.

Fight back.

Joseph Yang advanced with the ball and passed it to Meng Yun after reaching the frontcourt. Meng Yun gave Xiang Long a look. He tricked McGee into jumping up, then took a step forward, and made an emergency stop for a jumper.

boom!
It's a pity the ball didn't go in.

After that, the two sides came and went. Coach Spoelstra of the Heat hoped that Xiang Long could stand up and share some scoring pressure, but Xiang Long suddenly didn't have a touch, and the scoring could only rely on Meng Yun, but Meng Yun faced the opponent's target. Every time the defense scores the ball, it takes a lot of effort.

"It can't go on like this." Rostern said to Spoelstra with an anxious face on his face, "Should I replace Meng Yun and take a rest for two minutes?"

Coach Spoelstra glanced at the time and said, "Substitute."

The Heat requested a timeout, and Coach Spoelstra replaced Whiteside, Green, and Lu Weiqiqi, but did not replace Meng Yun, because Meng Yun is not only the strongest point of the team, The ace player is still the spiritual pillar of the team. As long as he is on the court, even if he does not score, it will be a help to the team. But if he is not on the court, the Heat will lose the spiritual pillar and will immediately fall into downwind.

Although the team has a good lineup and depth, Coach Spoelstra couldn't help sighing at the moment. He couldn't see it in the regular season. After the playoffs and now the finals, some problems have become prominent, such as the ball. The team is a little too dependent on Meng Yun.

"Lu Wei." Spoelstra took a deep breath, settled his mind, and said, "You have to be more proactive, attack resolutely, and be aggressive. There are others, Whiteside, Xiang Long , Green, you are the same. Meng Yun played a long time today and consumed a lot of physical energy. The opponent was already making a fuss about this a few minutes ago. At this time, you need to stand up and score and share the pressure for Meng Yun. "

"Ah."

"Yes."

"clear."

Several people nodded in unison.

Coach Spoelstra waved his hand and signaled the players to play. He asked Lu Wei and others to play more proactively to solve the problem of relying on Meng Yun, but he didn't know the effect of such an exhortation in today's situation. , can only hope it works.

The timeout ended, with 7 minutes left in the game, and the Heat trailed by 9 points.

The Warriors also carried out a personnel rotation, taking Curry, Thompson, Green, who had just gone down for a 2-minute rest, and starting center Rooney.

"The situation is still unfavorable for the Heat." Paul said: "Meng Yun's physical energy consumption is very high. He lost Monroe and lost a scoring point inside. Xiang Long's physical confrontation ability is too poor, resulting in unstable offense. And the Warriors Durant, Curry, and Thompson are all in good shape today, and they have more rest time than Meng Yun, and they are more physically fit. The key is that the Warriors are still leading by 9 points, and it is too difficult for the Heat to reverse."

"Yeah." Anthony nodded and said, "If Monroe hadn't been injured, it should be better, and maybe the Heat wouldn't be so far behind."

"Who can say for sure about an injury?" James shrugged.

Wade didn't speak, just stared at the court frowning.

The game continued, the Heat were attacking, Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, glanced at the situation on the field, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy, the point difference was 9 points, Monroe was injured, and from the perspective of the lineup, his side was at a disadvantage. In terms of morale, he is also at a disadvantage.

What can I do to make a comeback?
"I still have to score, more points." Meng Yun took a deep breath, called for a pick-and-roll, and then accelerated suddenly. Now it was Thompson who let Meng Yun go, and was blocked by Whiteside. Durant jumped over to delay, Meng Yun stopped suddenly, his center of gravity rose, and Durant's heart jumped, while Meng Yun lowered his center of gravity, accelerated again, and rushed past him.

After passing Durant, Meng Yun didn't continue to move forward, because there was Rooney inside, and after finding the shot space, he jumped up and scored with a throw.

"My physical energy consumption is a bit too much, and my outside shooting has also been affected. Damn it, I can only hide from the defense even if I break through." Although Meng Yun scored the goal, he was not in the slightest mood. However, physical problems have emerged.
