king of defenders

Chapter 1303 Finals Situation ([-])

"We still have to base ourselves on defense." Coach Spoelstra said: "The opponent is a well-balanced team in all positions, so every position cannot be relaxed. Of course, the most important thing is James and George. At this point, their personal offense is the biggest threat."

While drawing tactics, while explaining, coach Spoelstra first emphasized defense, because the current lineup of the Lakers is very balanced and reasonably configured, with Jordan in the interior, Ingram at the 4th position, and George at the 2rd position , the 1nd position is Pope, and James plays the [-]st position.

Such a lineup is very competitive both on the offensive and defensive ends. The Heat can only keep their feet on the ground and start from the defense.

"On the offensive end." Coach Spoelstra paused, looked at Xiang Long and others, "You can't rely too much on Meng Yun, you must remember this, and the rest of you should stand up and score. Xiang Long , especially you, and you are facing Ingram, so make good use of your advantages."

"Meng Yun."

Finally, Coach Spoelstra looked at Meng Yun with a serious expression: "LeBron will leave it to you."

Meng Yun nodded. He will directly face off against James, and there are many similarities between the two. The confrontation between them is the key to affecting the game.

not far away.

The head coach of the Lakers looked at his players and was also making arrangements: "To defend against Meng Yun, everyone except LeBron should also pay attention. Once Meng Yun breaks through the pick-and-roll, he must immediately defend."

There is no doubt about James' defensive ability, but he may not be able to defend against Meng Yun. Meng Yun's speed is too fast, and James is helpless at this point, so someone must help defend and make up for it in time.

As for the offensive end, the head coach of the Lakers is not worried. With James in control, a singles master like George, Ingram's scoring ability is also good, and a three-point shooter like Pope. You don't need to worry about it.

After some arrangement by the coaches of both sides, the game also started soon.

Coming to the court, the starting lineup of Whiteside, Xiang Long, Gay, Korver, and Meng Yun is still on the Heat's side; the Lakers are Jordan Jr., Ingram, George, Pope, and James.

The first is the jump ball. Whiteside failed to jump the ball this time, allowing the Lakers to get the ball. The Heat retreated and quickly arranged the defense.

James advanced to the front court, Meng Yun stepped forward, opened his hands, and the two faced each other directly. The fans in the auditorium opened their eyes wide, looking forward to it.

But James rarely plays by himself at the beginning of the game, not to mention there are many people around who can score.

On the other side, George was running, and Gay was facing him. George first ran to the bottom line on the left, and then suddenly ran back, using the cover of his teammates to shake off Guy, and ran towards James. The ball is passed to George.Guy was blocked on the Heat's side, and Xiang Long replaced him, blocking in front of George.

"Pull away."

George made a gesture, and the others pulled away. He singled out Xiang Long, first took a tentative step, and then suddenly started, making a breakthrough from the right. Xiang Long was not fooled, and George didn't care. Breaking through on the left, Xiang Long retreated and got stuck first.

At this moment, George stopped suddenly, stepped on the brakes, and pulled out suddenly.

Xiang Long jumped up and stretched his arms, but George not only pulled it out, but also leaned back. The arc of the shot was very high, and the basketball passed Xiang Long's fingertips and flew to the basket.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

"Hehe, it seems that George feels good today." The head coach of the Lakers laughed. The two core members of the team are James and George. James does not need to worry. James is not joking after the season. George is also a top star, but even for him, playing next to James is not easy, and his performance was not stable for a while in the regular season.

Now it seems that George feels good today, and his state should not be a problem, so he is more likely to beat the Heat.

The Heat fought back.

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, and James was in front of him. Meng Yun took a look at the situation on the court, called for a pick-and-roll, used Xiang Long's pick-and-roll to get rid of James, and then went inside. Jordan quickly stepped forward. Meng Yun Stopped, raised the ball, and made a gesture to pass the ball. Jordan quickly retreated, but Meng Yun jumped up and scored with a small throw.

In the next few rounds, the two sides came and went. The Lakers were mainly attacking by George. He was in good form today.

At this moment, Meng Yun caught the pick-and-roll and threw off the defense again, moved a step to the side, and made a gesture to shoot, but in fact, he accelerated, hugged the basketball, and took advantage of the defender's surprise, a high hit similar to Curry. Scored two points again.

"It turned out to be a high-level game." Rostern raised his eyebrows and asked Craig, "Do you feel that Meng Yun's style of play today is a little different from the past?"

Craig thought for a while, and said: "It's a little different from the past. In the past, after he broke through, he would go straight to the layup, use the air, or use the bounce to gain shot space. But today he broke through twice, once was Throwing, one hits the board high."

Rostern said: "That's right, the two offenses are very ingenious, and they are a bit different from Meng Yun's previous style, but I think this kind of scoring is more reasonable." Meng Yun's performance in a few minutes, "It was the same in the last few minutes of the tiebreaker in the Eastern Conference Finals. At that time, I thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that it is not. Meng Yun's game style has really changed."

In the past, Meng Yun mainly relied on his body, and his technique was only an aid. After the breakthrough, he also relied on his excellent staying in the air or jumping to score, but the two offenses just now relied more or less on technique.

Obviously he has a body to rely on, but Meng Yun didn't do that. Instead, he chose to rely on his skills to score the ball skillfully.

There was an obvious change in style, which surprised Rostern and Craig, but he didn't intend to explore these things. He smiled and said, "What do you care about? Anyway, it's not a bad thing."

Rostern also smiled: "Hehe, yes."

As assistant coaches of the Heat, Rostern and Craig knew Meng Yun well, so they quickly noticed something strange.

As the game progressed, other people also noticed something strange. James' expression became more serious, and the Lakers coach began to frown. He was a little happy to see Meng Yun's personal attack from the beginning, because this was tantamount to consuming Meng Yun in advance. , but after a few minutes, his face changed.

Meng Yun did have a lot of personal offenses, taking most of the Heat's points in the past few minutes, but every goal was very skillful, and it didn't consume much in fact.
