king of defenders

Chapter 1153
Seeing that the point difference widened and the substitutions failed to change, the Magic once again requested a timeout to replace the main players and enter the rotation time.

The Heat also replaced Meng Yun, Whiteside, and Gay and entered the rotation.

After that, in the rest of the first quarter, the Magic team not only failed to turn the situation around, but became more and more weak. In terms of the main lineup, there is a big gap between the Magic and the Heat. , Because the Heat's bench lineup includes Xiang Long, Salinger, Green, Johnson, Lu Wei, Joseph Young, Thomas Jr., etc., they can be described as strong.

Especially Xiang Long and Lu Wei.

Xiang Long made a lot of progress last season, especially in the playoffs. At that time, he had already touched some of the magic of "breaking the limit". In this offseason, he did not relax at all, even because he did not need To save energy for the competition, the training intensity should be higher.

In addition, he has had two previous experiences, so it is not impossible for him to reach the limit and break through the limit, and as the number of times increases, his gains are also increasing.

After one summer, Xiang Long's technology may not have made any major breakthroughs, but his physical fitness has improved a lot. His skin has turned darker, and his muscle lines have become more obvious. It gives people the feeling that he has grown a lot bigger. It's not about gaining weight, it's about getting stronger.

This enhanced Xiang Long's confrontation ability. In addition, the Magic did not have any inside players with excellent physical fitness. Against the Magic's inside players, Xiang Long had the upper hand.

Xiang Long has excellent inside footsteps and low-post skills, as well as outside three-pointers and the ability to break through with the ball. In the past, because of insufficient physical confrontation, he seemed a little weak and could not highlight his technical advantages, but now his physical fitness has improved a bit. The lethality has been increased by one level.

On the outside, Lu Wei is still stable, and Xiang Long is one inside and one outside, making the Magic's bench lineup look at one thing and lose another, helpless.

By the end of the first quarter, the Heat had already led by 15 points.

Entering the second quarter, the situation is still the same. The Heat have completely gained the upper hand. The Magic have made many changes and still can't change anything. The gap in strength makes them very helpless.

"The difference in strength is too great."

"It can be said to be a sling, and the Heat look very easy."

"Yeah, it would be fine if the gap in strength wasn't too big, but now the gap is too big, it's completely one-sided, and the Magic have nothing to fight back."

"The point difference is almost 20 points, and it seems that Meng Yun has no strength at all. He doesn't attack much, he is organizing the attack."

Below the basketball hoop are media reporters, who are discussing with each other at the moment.

The first half is coming to an end, and the point difference between the two sides has reached 19 points, which is close to 20 points. The Heat suppressed the Magic all the way, and it seemed very easy. Meng Yun didn't take much shots, and he only scored 10 points so far.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Meng Yun hit a three-pointer.

Meng Yun's personal score reached 13 points, and the difference between the two sides has become 22 points. The Heat lead by as much as 22 points. The game seems to have lost suspense in advance.

Soon, at the end of the first half, the Heat led by 23 points.

Losing by 23 points in the half, the Magic players looked very ugly, walking into the player tunnel silently, not even in the mood to respond to the encouragement of the fans on both sides.The strength of the opponent makes them feel powerless. Whether it is the main lineup or the substitute lineup, they are completely suppressed. How can they come back?

"Haha, Dwayne's dunk is so beautiful. Hey Dwayne, you honestly, are you lying about your age, you don't look like a 36-year-old."

"Kyle (Kyle Korver), your ultra-long three-pointer is really beautiful. You are in the half court position, and it is a buzzer shot. In the last second of the first half, you will definitely score top ten goals."

"and also."

In the Heat locker room, the players were laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Meng Yun and Wade sat together, and Wade said with a smile, "You shot a little less today."

"It's not important." Meng Yundao: "The important thing is that we can win. As long as we can win, it doesn't matter how many points I get. And I think this is a good thing, everyone can score."

"Yeah." Wade nodded.

For a period of time in the playoffs last season, the team relied heavily on Meng Yun. At that time, Coach Spoelstra sensed the danger, so he approached Meng Yun and some other team members before this season. To solve this problem, Meng Yun is the absolute core and trump card of the team, but he cannot be relied on alone.

Basketball is a sport of five people, and all five people must contribute.

What's more, it's not that other people can't score. Lu Wei, Xiang Long, Monroe, Whiteside, Wade, even Salinger, Johnson and others can also score, so why not?
Therefore, Meng Yun has also made some adjustments to reduce his personal offense. When it is not necessary for him to stand up and score, he will let his teammates score more and develop this habit. When it is needed, such as the playoffs, when the opponent When they want to block Meng Yun, they need other people to stand up and score, so that they don't feel sudden and can quickly enter the state.

Superstars don't need to prove themselves all the time. In NBA history, there are many times in the history of the regular season that the mvp of the regular season failed to lead the team to win the championship.

There are also many players in the history of the NBA who scored crazy points in a season and won the scoring champion, but they often failed to win the championship in the end. The same is true.

For example, James Harden, Kobe Bryant has long publicly stated that there is no way to win a championship by playing like Harden.

With Meng Yun's current strength, it is easy to score, but it is not necessary to score points. Anyway, the team can win. Does it matter how many points you score?

At halftime, Meng Yuncai scored 13 points, but he still had 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.

"beep"

The second half begins.

The two sides came back, and after halftime adjustments, the Magic regained some fighting spirit.

But after a few minutes in the third quarter, the Magic lost their fighting spirit again.

In the past few minutes, the Heat have relied on their strong strength to suppress the Magic. The point difference between the two sides has not widened. Fragmented, incoherent, two goals in a row at most, and then interrupted, either by the Heat scoring back, or the Heat using defense to keep them from scoring consecutive goals.

This makes it impossible for the Magic to hit a shock wave, so you come and go, the point difference has narrowed, but it is not big, and it cannot affect the overall situation.
