Chapter 1407: A Defensive Player's Nightmare

At this time, there was not much time left in the third quarter. Considering Meng Yun's physical fitness, Coach Atkinson quickly replaced Meng Yun.

After switching to a rotation lineup, Coach Atkinson felt a little relieved that the rotation lineup played well this time, especially Dinwiddie, who played very well on the offensive end and did not let the Nuggets take advantage.

By the end of the third quarter, the Nets still led by 3 points.

However, after entering the fourth quarter, the Nuggets played a wave of shock waves, and soon overtook the score and led the Nets by 5 points.

At this time, Coach Atkinson could only shake his head and look at Meng Yun: "Meng Yun, you go."

Meng Yun got up and walked to the court.

There are more than seven minutes left in the game, Meng Yun is quite suitable for this time, his physical fitness is enough to ensure that he has enough impact in these seven minutes.

Seeing Meng Yun playing, the head coach of the Nuggets immediately became serious. Whenever Meng Yun played before, the Nets would have the upper hand, so he had to worry.

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt and gestured to his teammates.

The others pulled away, Meng Yun played singles, and it was Barton who defended Meng Yun. Murray was not on the court, and Barton stared at Meng Yun, ready to fight.However, it was of no use. Meng Yun didn't play those fancy things at all, just a simple change of direction to accelerate, and he passed Barton by half a body in an instant.

Being passed by half a body by Meng Yun means being completely passed by him.

Barton turned around quickly, and saw Meng Yun jumping up and throwing a throw towards Jokic. The basketball crossed a high arc, passed Jokic's fingertips, and finally fell into the net.

Swish!
Two points were valid, and Meng Yun's personal score also reached 31 points.

Then Meng Yun ran back, came to the outside to get the ball, pinched the ball around his waist, and took a tentative step with his right foot. Button subconsciously took a step back. Meng Yun's speed was too fast, especially the first step. If you don't leave enough distance, it's easy for him to pass by with one step.

But Barton also kept his mind and didn't retreat too much.

He knew that there were teammates behind him defending, and Meng Yun might not be able to score if he was passed by Meng Yun, but if he retreated too much and let Meng Yun shoot directly, then Meng Yun might score directly.

Moreover, letting Meng Yun make a breakthrough would only score two points, but if Meng Yun was allowed to shoot outside the three-point line, it might be a three-pointer.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Meng Yun withdrew his right foot and lifted the ball up. Button's heart skipped a beat, and he reacted just as he was about to jump up: "Don't be fooled, this is a shooting fake." He resisted the impulse and did not take off easily, because once Those who are tricked into jumping up will be wiped out by Meng Yun immediately.

However, what Button didn't expect was that Meng Yun actually jumped up and threw the ball at the next moment.

"What?" Barton was stunned, and then heard a "swish", "The ball has been scored."

The goal was scored, and it was still a three-pointer.

Meng Yun had already turned around. Patton looked at his back very depressed. How should he defend himself?
That's the scary thing about a sharp breakout pitcher.

Most pitchers in nba are actually not good at breakthroughs. This is not surprising, because every player grows up from childhood to teenagers, especially in teenagers, when their talents begin to show, but their hearts are not mature enough. They often don’t think too much , Just play according to your instinct.

For example, some players are fast, skilled in dribbling, and good at breakthroughs, so he will subconsciously choose to break through in the game, because it is easier to score.

And to be realistic, scoring more points and performing better will also make them more likely to be noticed by others, such as coaches.

On the other hand, it also allows them to get better training.

So over time, players who are good at breakthroughs are more and more fond of breakthroughs, and breakthroughs have become their unique skills; while players who are good at shooting tend to be more and more shooters.

When they enter the NBA, the brutal competition will make their "strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses" more extreme, making their breakthroughs sharper and making their shots more precise.

Whether they can survive in the NBA, the pressure of gaining a foothold makes them have to become more distinctive, and they have to lose other things, such as those who are good at breakthroughs lose their shots, and those who are good at shooting lose their breakthroughs. Because this is the only way , they are valuable.

Every player grows up like this. What makes them is talent and reality.

But Meng Yun is an outlier.

From the very beginning, Meng Yun was actually more of a shooter. He didn't have outstanding physical talent, what he could rely on was his fusion of touch, excellent basketball IQ and shooting talent, so his first choice in training from beginning to end was shooting.

It wasn't until he was hit by the "solar storm" and his physical fitness became stronger that he gradually favored breakthroughs.

This allows Meng Yun to have the precise shooting like a shooter, but also has a sharp breakthrough, and what is rare is that they have reached a very high level, so for defensive players, he is a nightmare.

The Nuggets can't guard Meng Yun, neither can Button, nor can Murray.

Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Nets recovered the disadvantage and chased the point difference to only 1 point, and at this time the game time was only 2 minutes.

"beep"

The Nuggets requested a timeout.

When Meng Yun came to the sidelines, his teammates stood up one after another and gave Meng Yun high fives.

In the auditorium, a fan shouted: "Meng Yun is too strong, he has scored 38 points, and he has scored 9 points in this quarter alone."

Another fan also praised: "Yeah, it's really strong, it's too comprehensive, there are almost no shortcomings, and the whole half is his scoring field."

With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Meng Yun's personal score has reached 38 points, and he still has 10 rebounds and 9 assists, just a little short of a triple-double.

But the most important thing is the outcome of the game.

"Let me talk about it." Coach Atkinson said, spread out the tactical board and made some arrangements.

Then the timeout ends and the game restarts.

The players from both sides came back, the Nuggets attacked, the ball was transferred several times, and it was given to Murray. Murray caught the screen of his teammate and threw off Meng Yun. Score the ball to turn the difference between the two sides into 3 points.

But when he turned around, Meng Yun made a breakthrough and gave it to Harris on the outside. Harris raised his knife and hit a three-pointer.

"110:110, it's even!"

"A draw!"

The two sides tied.

And the game time is only a little more than 1 minute left. After that, both sides failed to score in the two rounds. The Nets requested a timeout because there were 30 seconds left in the game time. Therefore, this offensive opportunity is extremely critical for both sides.
