king of defenders

Chapter 1286 From Despair to Hope
Walking to the free throw line, Meng Yun took a deep breath and adjusted a bit, but he still missed the first free throw, but luckily he made the second free throw.

This made the head coach of the Celtics more calm. Meng Yun's state was indeed affected, and even free throws became unstable.

After thinking about it again, he laughed: "No wonder Meng Yun made a breakthrough as soon as he came up. Most likely he knew his own state and didn't have confidence in shooting, so he chose to make a breakthrough." Thinking of this, he walked to the sidelines and told his men Players pay attention to Meng Yun's breakthrough, and at the same time be careful not to foul easily.

boom!
The Celtics attacked and hit the iron. Whiteside took the rebound and passed the ball to Meng Yun. Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt and chose to break through. But this time the Celtics were prepared and did not foul. The defense is in place, and it is not easy for Meng Yun to make a quick shot.

At this moment, the ball was passed.

"Huh?" The head coach of the Celtics raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Meng Yun made a breakthrough as soon as he came up. In his opinion, there is another purpose, that is, Meng Yun needs to score now, and he needs to stand up to boost morale. Presumably he should have hit two more, but unexpectedly he only hit one and started to split the ball.

The ball was given to Xiang Long on the outside, and the Celtics players were all focused on Meng Yun. Xiang Long had a chance, and the catch was a three-pointer.

The Celtics players may be surprised by Meng Yun's goal, but the Heat players are well prepared. Meng Yun told them before that he will break through and pass the ball out. Of course, the reason is not only Meng Yun's state The problem is that the point difference is too big now, and it is too difficult to chase points by two points and two points, and a three-pointer is needed.

There is not much time in this quarter. Even if Meng Yun can break through and score, it is not easy to narrow the point difference. After the fourth quarter, it will be even more difficult for the Heat to play.

Therefore, it is necessary to make good use of the time at the end of this quarter to reduce the score as much as possible, and wait until the fourth quarter before there is a possibility of a comeback.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

Today, Xiang Long is actually in a good state, but he is somewhat restricted by the Celtics' key defense, but now that Meng Yun is back, the defense has attracted the past, and Xiang Long has been liberated.

This three-point hit, plus Meng Yun's previous free throw hit, the point difference became 16 points. Although it is still very large, it is enough to excite the Heat fans.

The head coach of the Celtics frowned, but this time he was not in a hurry to make any arrangements. He decided to hand over the game to the players, and Durant was still on the court.

Sure enough, the ball was given to Durant.

Durant singles, continuous cross steps, and then a sudden change of direction, Gay was passed, Whiteside behind defended, Durant jumped up, dodged in the air, avoiding Whiteside's attack Blocked, then scored the ball, and the point difference became 18 points.

Seeing the ball, the head coach of the Celtics breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

Here, the Heat attack.

There is only more than one minute left in this quarter. After Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, he broke through and scored the ball, which was given to Korver on the outside. Korver made a three-pointer, but failed to make it. The player They scrambled for rebounds, but they didn't notice that Meng Yun suddenly accelerated, rushed into the inside and jumped up. What affected him was shooting, but offense. The impact on defense was actually not great. Meng Yun bounced extremely well. After jumping, his palm had already passed Overwhelmed the others and grabbed the basketball.

"Whoosh." Meng Yun passed the ball to the outside, once again to Korver, and shouted: "Shoot!"

Hearing Meng Yun's shout, Korver, who was still hesitant to slow down and reorganize, decided to make another three-pointer.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the score was 15 points.

Two three-pointers, one from Xiang Long and one from Korver, neither came from Meng Yun, but they were all related to him. The smile on the face of the Celtics head coach was a little stiff and gradually disappeared.

The game time in the third quarter became less and less. The Celtics relied on Durant to score points. Both sides scored in the round, but the point difference was still 15 points.

"There are 10 seconds left." Meng Yun glanced at the time, there were 10 seconds left in this quarter, and he still had the last chance to attack.

Coming to the frontcourt, Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll. The Celtics were already prepared to shrink the line of defense quickly to guard against Meng Yun's breakthrough, but they did not double-team or assist in defense, because Meng Yun was likely to split the ball. Shoot a three-pointer for the Heat players on the outside. Now the difference of 15 points is quite a lot, but if the Heat make another three-pointer, it will be really troublesome.

But at this moment, Meng Yun jumped up suddenly, which surprised the defenders. Although he raised his hand subconsciously, it was impossible to block the shot.

Meng Yun jumped up and flicked his wrist.

The basketball crossed an arc and finally hit the rim with a "bang". The head coach of the Celtics just wanted to say "it's okay", but saw the basketball fall and loaded it into the rim.

The head coach of the Celtics had a gloomy face. If he knew the lyrics of "shit luck", he would definitely yell out loudly, this ball is bad luck.

"Good luck." Meng Yun grinned, regardless of whether he was lucky or not, he got in anyway, "Now the point difference has become 13 points."

Although Meng Yun chose to shoot this ball, considering his own state and feel, he did not shoot a three-pointer, but a mid-range shot. Fortunately, it was a mid-range shot. If he shot a three-pointer, he might not be so lucky.

The ball hits and the third quarter is over.

"Good job." Coach Spoelstra clapped excitedly with the players, "Now the score is 13 points behind, and we have the possibility of a comeback."

The point difference was too big before, and it was too difficult to come back. Even coach Spoelstra did not expect that after Meng Yun came back, he was able to catch up with 3 points in 7 minutes, reducing the point difference to 13 points.

Of course, 13 points is not a small score, but it is much better than 20 points.

If 20 points is a hopeless score, then 13 points is just a headache.

Craig patted Meng Yun's arm with a smile on his face: "Nice job."

Others also looked at Meng Yun one after another. Although Meng Yun only scored 3 points in these 3 minutes, and the rest were scored by his teammates, almost every point of the team was related to him. If it wasn't for Meng Yun, they wouldn't have been able to Narrowed the point difference to 13 points.

Facing everyone's eyes, Meng Yun showed a bright smile and said, "I said we can do it, and there is still the fourth quarter. If we play hard, we will definitely win."

Everyone nodded in unison, each with bright eyes and high fighting spirit.
