king of defenders

Chapter 1248 Who is stronger?
The game continued, the scores of the two sides rose, and the Heat still took the lead with a slight advantage. Score, or assist teammates, to help the Heat stabilize the situation.

Swish!
With a soft sound, Meng Yun assisted his teammates to score.

Turning around, Antetokounmpo immediately returned the color. After taking the ball, he made a breakthrough. His speed was so fast that the Heat had no time to adjust their defensive position. As a result, although Antetokounmpo failed to score, it caused He caught Whiteside's foul and made two free throws after getting to the free throw line.

"Another one."

"Meng Yun and Antetokounmpo are too strong. It's only the second quarter, and they both scored 20 points."

"Yeah, the Heat couldn't guard Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks couldn't guard Meng Yun. Now Antetokounmpo scored 27 points, Meng Yun scored 25 points, but Meng Yun still has 6 points." Rebounds, 8 assists, from the statistics, the two sides are actually almost the same."

"Tell me, who is stronger?"

"This"

Who is stronger, Meng Yun or Antetokounmpo?
Many fans don't know how to answer this question, because both of them are very strong and there is no solution. Even if you only look at the performance of the two in today's game, it is difficult to say who is stronger, because they are similar.

On the court, the Bucks requested a timeout.

Although the point difference is not big, there has been no way to overtake, so the head coach of the Bucks called a timeout and made some adjustments. It is not an option to keep playing like this, and it is still necessary to overtake the score.

On the Heat's side, Coach Spoelstra is also making arrangements.

After some arrangement, the players of both sides returned to the field and they all carried out a personnel rotation. However, the core players of both sides were on the field. In such a delicate situation, no one dared to easily replace the core lineup.

"Pull away." Antetokounmpo made a gesture, asking for the ball in the low post, but as soon as he got the ball, a help defense came up, and he could only divide the ball.

However, Antetokounmpo did not give up the offense. After passing the ball, he moved to the outside line, and suddenly ran back, slid to the basket along the baseline, raised his left hand, and pointed upward.

Bledsoe understood and threw the ball to the basket. Antetokounmpo jumped up, grabbed the basketball and it was an alley-oop dunk.

Bang!
The basketball was dunked, and the point difference was only 2 points.

Meng Yun advances to the frontcourt with the ball, the opponent comes up to double-team, Meng Yun points the ball, then slips along the baseline, throws off Bledsoe with the cover of his teammate, and returns to the three-point line, the teammate takes the ball When the pass came, Meng Yun took the ball and made a three-point shot. The basketball crossed an arc and made a steady hit.

"Let him score again." The Bucks coach was helpless.

In fact, Meng Yun’s biggest headache for the head coach of the Bucks is not his breakthroughs. The Bucks have Lopez and Antetokounmpo. They have a strong inside defense and are not afraid of breakthroughs. Even if you break through, I have inside fighters waiting you.

But he has a headache for Meng Yun's shooting, especially this kind of catch-and-shoot while moving without the ball, which makes the defender have nothing to do. You can't do any defense well, so you can only pray that Meng Yun can't make the shot.

Here Antetokounmpo returned another one.

In fact, if Antetokounmpo hadn't played very well today, the Bucks might not be just a little behind.

Today, Meng Yun shot with all his strength, and now he is close to a triple-double before the halftime is over. With this performance, if the Bucks had not had Antetokounmpo, they might be the same as the Nets.

"I'm not worried about Giannis. He has such strength, and he is a very serious player with a strong desire to win. He won't let Meng Yun specialize in the front." The head coach of the Bucks dragged his chin and frowned. Wrinkled, "It's just that Meng Yun still needs to be more comprehensive. In addition to scoring, his passing is a huge threat. In this regard, Giannis is inferior. In fact, no one in our team can have Meng Yun's organization ability."

In today's basketball environment, an excellent organizer has become more and more important.

Because the offensive and defensive rhythm is getting faster and faster, and the players' finishing ability is getting stronger and stronger, but if there is no defender who can organize the offense and connect teammates well, the ability of other players will be greatly reduced.

Just like the Bucks, Antetokounmpo can attack with the ball by himself, but this is not efficient because he lacks three-point shooting, and his points are still concentrated within the three-point line. To be precise, most of them come from It's inside, so it's not efficient for him to attack with the ball.

But if an organizer like Meng Yun feeds Antetokounmpo, he can fully release Antetokounmpo's ability.

Everyone knows that Antetokounmpo didn't shoot from outside the three-point line. If he wanted to rush into the paint to score points, he would deploy targeted defenses, but he was still able to average 27.9 points per game.

It is conceivable that once such a person feeds the ball to Antetokounmpo, so that he does not need to hold the ball by himself, or face the opponent's double-team, and his scoring ability is fully released, how terrible he will be.

It's not that the Bucks have no point guards, Bledsoe and Brogdon are both, but their organizational skills are not as good as Meng Yun.

The head coach of the Bucks is afraid of Meng Yun, on the one hand because of Meng Yun's scoring ability, on the other hand because of Meng Yun's organizational ability.

Antetokounmpo can play very well and contribute a lot of points and rebounds for the team, but Meng Yun can not only contribute points and rebounds, but also send exquisite passes, which can make his teammates better while playing well .

Antetokounmpo is also doing this, but he is not as good as Meng Yun.

So if the fight continues like this, the Heat will not be able to guard against Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks will not be able to guard against Meng Yun. In fact, the Bucks will suffer.

"It's hard to say who has the stronger personal ability between Giannis and Meng Yun, and they should be about the same." The Bucks coach said to himself, "But whoever is more threatening and can cause more damage on the court Big, that should be Meng Yun, he shouldn't be a defender."

Although unwilling to admit it, the Bucks coach also knows that Antetokounmpo still has some flaws, such as outside shooting and passing ability, but Meng Yun is really too comprehensive.

Meng Yun has excellent shooting ability, organizational passing ability, and the speed that tops the league. It stands to reason that such a player should be a guard of about 1.9 meters, but this guy is 205 cm tall. He should not be a guard at all. He should be like James In that case, playing small forward is right.

The second quarter is over soon.

The score between the two sides was 64:59, with the Heat leading by 5 points.

At halftime, the players returned to the locker room.

The head coach of the Bucks walked into the locker room, waved his hand to signal the players not to get up, and said in a deep voice, "In the second half, we need to make some adjustments to our strategy."
