king of defenders

Chapter 1211 Be more flexible

Within a few minutes of the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides has become 18 points, which is close to 20 points.

This surprised the fans. You must know that the James team is actually not bad, and the Meng Yun team's defensive strength is not high, but how did the point difference reach 18 points?

"beep"

Coach Mike Malone called a timeout.

Although this is the All-Star Game, it is of course best not to lose. Who wants to lose?
It's just that even he didn't expect this to happen. He thought it would be similar to the past. The two sides would come and go, and then wait until the last few minutes to decide the outcome. Unexpectedly, it was less than half of the game, and the point difference was widened to such an extent. .

When the players came down, coach Mike Malone said in a deep voice, "We need to strengthen our defense."

"Yes."

"Ah."

The players nodded.

There is actually no problem in offense, and they scored a lot of points. It just allowed the Meng Yun team to score more points, which is why they fell behind so much.

Then the next step is definitely to strengthen the defense.

In the past, we strengthened the defense beyond the three-point line. The defense for breakthroughs was not in place, and we were not so attentive. There was no help defense or supplementary defense. You can score if you can break through.But now it seems that this is not possible, it cannot really restrict the opponent, and it needs to be further strengthened.

Subsequently, Mike Malone coach substitutions.

For the Mengyun team, coach Spoelstra didn't make any tactical arrangements. Since he has made up his mind to let the players play on their own and let them go to score, the tactics are meaningless.

"Substitution."

Coach Spoelstra just made substitutions, replacing both Meng Yun and Durant, and replaced them with others.

After the timeout ended, the game continued.

It can be clearly seen that the defense of the James team has become more serious, even if it is not as rigorous as the regular season, there are not many double-teams and help defenses, but the one-on-one defense is much more serious, and there is supplementary defense. When the opponent breaks through, he directly gives way to the opponent to get points.

In this way, it caused some troubles for Meng Yun's team.

"With our strength, we can still score, even if it's one-on-one." Meng Yun frowned slightly, "It's just that the efficiency will drop a lot."

When the defensive strength increases, even if the player has a strong scoring ability and excellent singles ability, he can still score, but the difficulty is higher, it takes more time and energy, and the efficiency decreases.

In the next few minutes of the second quarter, the two sides were evenly matched. The Meng Yun team failed to widen the point difference. Fortunately, the players were very motivated and kept their 16-point lead.

Halftime break.

Meng Yun called his teammates around and said, "We have to make some changes in the second half."

Everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at Meng Yun.

Meng Yun continued: "The opponent's defense will definitely be further strengthened in the second half. We can't play like the first half. It's too simple and easy to be targeted by the opponent. So we share the ball more in the second half. Of course, everyone can score. We still have to play resolutely, but first of all we have to ensure offensive efficiency and win. If we can’t win, then everything else is meaningless.”

"Ah."

"That's right."

Everyone nodded.

In the first half, everyone played singles and played against each other. In the end, they were able to achieve such an effect, leading the James team by more than ten points. How did this come about?

This is made possible by everyone's great enthusiasm and offensive enthusiasm.

The reason why everyone is so enthusiastic is that except for some people, other people, such as Durant, Antetokounmpo, Lillard, George, Walker, including Meng Yun, all have their own pursuits and have ideas about mvp. They all want to play well and compete for mvp.

But if the game is lost, then what's the point of playing well?
So the people who are least willing to lose are Durant, Antetokounmpo, Lillard, and George.

And they are the ones who occupy the ball and take the most shots. As long as they are willing to share the ball, others will naturally have no problems.

What's more, Meng Yun made it very clear that he didn't give everyone any restrictions, but just let everyone play a little more flexibly. If you don't have a chance or the chance is not good, you have to split the ball. When you really have a chance, you can still play resolutely.

Everyone is a professional player, has been on the field for a long time, and knows in his heart what is the best way to do it on the field.

The second half begins.

The James team sent James, Xiaoka, Irving, Davis, and Westbrook; the Meng Yun team sent Meng Yun, Durant, Curry, Thompson, and Antetokounmpo.

The Meng Yun team attacked, and Meng Yun held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that the opponent's defensive formation was obviously much stricter, he had a mental count. First, he passed the ball to Thompson. Thompson took a glance and saw the defender rushing quickly Coming up, he didn't force his shot, and passed it back to Meng Yun.

The next moment, Meng Yun started, made a breakthrough in a change of direction, threw away Westbrook, and broke through along the left side. The James team responded quickly and shrunk the defense.

But at this moment, Meng Yun flicked his hand and passed the ball to Curry in the left corner. Owen shrank back because of Meng Yun's breakthrough, and there was a gap in front of Curry.

Curry hesitated when he received the ball. He had no idea about mvp and didn't want to score many points.

With this hesitation, the opportunity is gone.

Curry passed the ball again and gave it to Durant. Meng Yun didn't take care of the ball. He just looked at Curry and noticed Meng Yun's gaze. Curry suddenly felt a little embarrassed and gave Meng Yun an apology. With a smile, he knew what Meng Yun meant, and blamed him for not voting just now.

"Yeah, I should have voted." Curry couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

For such a good opportunity, Meng Yun's pass is very good, his strength and angle are very comfortable, and he has a great grasp of his shot, so he should vote anyway.

boom!
Durant fell back and missed.
Two or three rounds passed in a blink of an eye, and the Meng Yun team had no results, which made the fans in the audience a little uncomfortable. Why did they stop all of a sudden?
At this time, Meng Yun broke through again, and the speed was not fast. He didn't want to break through and score by himself, because the opponent had obviously shrunk the defense line. With Davis inside, the defense threat was great.His purpose was to attract the defense. When he saw the opponent's defender approaching him, Meng Yun flicked the ball and gave it to Curry again.

Now that Meng Yun is attractive to the defender, Curry is another chance to be open, and Meng Yun's pass is in place, accurately finding Curry, and giving it very comfortably.

Curry secretly praised "Beautiful pass" in his heart. He didn't hesitate this time, adjusted a little, and then jumped up with a flick of his wrist.
