king of defenders

Chapter 1288
Meng Yun scored consecutively, and all of them were dunks. Of course, it was a good thing for the Heat and boosted morale, but it was not so good for the Celtics.

The Celtics requested a timeout.

The head coach frowned, and first made a substitution, replacing Hayward with Durant. Irving played very well in the first three quarters, but when Meng Yun came back, Irving was obviously not as good as the previous three quarters under Meng Yun's defense. Easy, you still need Durant to go up.

After the substitution, the head coach of the Celtics thought for a while, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, the victory still belongs to us. Although Meng Yun scored consecutively, he dunked them all. Why? It's because of his respect for himself." He has no confidence in shooting, the game is too hasty for him, there is no time to prepare, not even time to warm up, the touch will definitely not be good, so he will continue to break through and rely on dunks to score."

Hearing this, the players looked a little better.

The head coach of the Celtics said again: "Think about it, does Meng Yun dunk a lot in normal games?"

"not much."

"It should be said that it is a bit rare. He is a two-time slam dunk contest champion, but compared with LaVine, he usually dunks much less often, not even as much as Eric Gordon."

the players replied.

LaVine and Gordon have both had eye-catching performances in the dunk contest. They are slam dunk masters. Although Yun is a two-time slam dunk contest champion, he doesn't dunk often.

At this time, there is no need for the Celtics coach to say more, they already understand.

Meng Yun can dunk, can dunk, and because of his sharp breakthrough, he has a lot of opportunities to dunk, but he doesn't often dunk. It can be seen that he doesn't like dunks, so the coach's analysis just now is more convincing, Meng Yun No confidence in his shooting!

Why is Meng Yun clueless?
It is because Meng Yun has the height of a small forward and the speed that tops the league, as well as excellent outside shooting, especially the ability to shoot three-pointers. He can shoot suddenly and make it difficult for defenders to guard against.

But if Meng Yun didn't have outside projection, then the defense would be much more targeted.

"Without outside shooting, Meng Yun is no longer an unsolvable existence." Durant's eyes lit up.

"That's right." The head coach of the Celtics said with a smile: "Later, we will mainly defend against Meng Yun's breakthrough, but we must focus on his breakthrough points, and don't miss anyone."

The somewhat shaken confidence of the players returned, and Qiqi nodded in agreement.

Here, coach Spoelstra also made a substitution.

Now more than three minutes have passed in the fourth quarter, but the Celtics will definitely make some arrangements for calling this timeout, most of which are aimed at Meng Yun, so someone needs to go up to share the pressure on Meng Yun.

"Xiang Long." Coach Spoelstra shouted, "Go on, replace Sullinger."

"Yeah." Xiang Long nodded.

Then coach Spoelstra spread out the tactical board and began to arrange it.
With Meng Yun back and Monroe recovering, the Heat are well-organized and have more choices and changes in tactics.

Pause ends.

At this time, the point difference on the court has become 9 points. Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Heat narrowed the point difference to less than [-] points, which is why the Celtics called a timeout.

With a 9-point difference, there are more than eight points left in the game.

This is no longer just a "silver hope", but full of hope. The home fans couldn't restrain their excitement, staring at the stadium without blinking, praying silently.

Irving advanced the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Durant.

Seeing Durant taking the ball, Meng Yun couldn't help frowning. Although the Celtics have a gorgeous lineup, without Durant, they are at most a playoff team, but with Durant, it is different Yes, upgraded from a playoff team to a championship contender.

Meng Yun is also most afraid of Durant.

Durant pinched the ball around his waist, took a look at the situation on the court, saw that Xiang Long and Monroe were not too far away from the inside line, he had some concerns in his heart, he did not choose to break through, but made a jumper, changed direction continuously, and then Sudden withdrawal, Green can only do nothing about it.

Swish!
The key is that Durant voted accurately.

The difference is 11 points.

The Heat attacked, and Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, and he couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring. The opponent's defense line shrunk very little, especially the inside line. Long, while looking at Meng Yun from the corner of his eye, Tass simply hovered near the penalty area, and he didn't care if Monroe was outside the three-point line.

"The opponent is going to guard against Meng Yun's breakthrough at this time." Coach Spoelstra couldn't help frowning. Just now, Meng Yun dunked three times in a row. The Celtics coach saw the clue, and he naturally saw it too.

Fortunately, Xiang Long was sent up, and Lu Wei was also on the field, so he had more choices, otherwise relying on Meng Yun to score may cause problems.

Meng Yun also saw the opponent's plan. He glanced at the basket, then at Brown, who was obviously not defending too far in front of him. In the end, he resisted the plan of directly shooting a three-pointer and asked for a pick-and-roll , broke through and passed the ball to Xiang Long, and Xiang Long passed it to Lu Wei.

Meng Yun pulled the man away, Lu Wei broke through after receiving the ball, attracted the defense, and then distributed the ball out again.

Originally, Tays was not very close to Monroe's defense. Monroe pulled to the right corner outside the three-point line, Lu Wei broke through, and Monroe was completely empty. After receiving Lu Wei's pass, he shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately Failed to put in.Although he can also shoot, three-pointers are not Monroe's strong point.

The Heat failed to score this time, and it also made some fans worry. They also saw the Celtics' intentions. The biggest reason why the Heat were able to compete with the Celtics before was that Meng Yun is an unsolvable existence, but if Meng Yun is no longer unsolvable, will he still be the opponent of the Celtics?
What made the fans feel a little more at ease was that Xiang Long, Lu Wei and others all scored later. Xiang Long and Monroe's internal pass and internal cooperation were better than before because of Meng Yun's containment of defense.

But this doesn't give the Heat much of an advantage, because the Celtics' offense is very fierce, mainly because of Durant. To score, either to contain the defense, and then other Celtics players score, and the Heat come and go, and no one can take advantage.

But the problem now is that the Heat are already behind, and the point difference is not too big, but if it continues to consume, the game time will become less and less, and the situation will become more and more unfavorable to the Heat.

Unknowingly, 8 minutes have been played in the fourth quarter, with only 4 minutes left in the game, the Heat trailed by 8 points.

The point difference has been hovering around 10 points, but the Heat players feel a little anxious because they have not been able to catch up. It is definitely not a good thing to continue.

"Request a timeout."

Coach Spoelstra knew this and called a timeout.
