king of defenders

Chapter 1417 Delivering Cannonballs to Teammates

Antetokounmpo is a person who takes the game very seriously, even in the All-Star Game. Anyone who has seen his performance in the All-Star Game will say that he doesn't look like he is playing an exhibition game.

In fact, Meng Yun has this consideration in choosing people. Xiaoka, Antetokounmpo, Xiang Long, Butler, Gobert, Westbrook, these people are different from other players. Other players are thinking about it in the All-Star Game How to play, how to play tricks, thinking about how to please the audience.

What they think about is how to score and how to beat their opponents.

It was precisely because of this that Meng Yun chose them. Meng Yun, like them, did not like the performance nature of the All-Star Game. A group of the best basketball players on the planet gathered together, but they only played exhibition games. It is a waste to please the audience.

Just now Durant pulled one in front of Brother Antetokounmpo, and Brother Antetokounmpo immediately retaliated. Moreover, Brother Antetokounmpo did not choose a fancy style of play.

Bang!
Antetokounmpo played with his back and backed up Durant's head, and then suddenly made a half-turn. His steps were very big. This half-turn not only threw Durant away, but also reached the basket, and then he burst out with both hands. buckle.

The game has just started, and Antetokounmpo scored two goals in a row, and both of them were dunks.

Of course, for Antetokounmpo, the player with the most dunks this season, dunking is really a simple matter, and it is just one of his regular scoring methods.

"It seems that the James team hasn't reacted yet. This defense is like playing." Meng Yun smiled secretly, "Just now, Brother Antetokounmpo hit Durant in a back-up single, and he was pressed into a deep position. He knew that this back-up single Durant can't defend, and James has no one to help defend."

But it's not surprising that the game has just begun.

James frowned, he also saw this, and reminded his teammates: "I can be more serious, the opponent is playing very seriously."

"Yes." Several people nodded in agreement.

Although several members of the James team nodded in agreement, they didn't take it to heart. After all, everyone had a preconceived understanding that this is the All-Star Game and it has a performance nature.

So the defense of the James team was still a little slack afterwards, but the Meng Yun team played very seriously. Meng Yun took the lead and set an example. Brother Antetokounmpo and Xiaoka are also serious people. The second-year rookie, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time, is still a bit cautious when facing his big brothers.

Embiid was not convinced by others, but he was convinced by Meng Yun. Not only did he win the rookie game mvp with Meng Yun's help, but also because of Meng Yun's strength and charisma.

And Meng Yun said before he played that he was not interested in the MVP. In the past few minutes on the court, Meng Yun basically didn't score. He was passing the ball and delivering shells for his teammates.

The task Meng Yun assigned to Embiid was to defend and protect rebounds. Embiid didn't have no idea about the mvp, but he felt that there was little hope, so he simply stopped thinking about it and listened to Meng Yun's arrangement.

He remembered that the last time he listened to Meng Yun's arrangement, he won the rookie game mvp.

So there are a few people on the Meng Yun team. Meng Yun is responsible for delivering shells. Kaka and Antetokounmpo are serious players. Embiid is responsible for rebounding. Although Doncic has no sense of presence, he did not hold back and did not make many shots. , Just do a good job of defense, and send wonderful passes to teammates when you have the opportunity.

The scores are mainly concentrated on Xiaoka and Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo's various singles, back-up, quick counterattack, and brutal breakthrough. One person scored more than half of the points, while Xiaoka's scores were mainly concentrated outside the three-point line. , the defense of the James team is a bit lax, and there are two people who are very good at passing the ball, Meng Yun and Doncic. What he has to do is too simple. just fine.

Under such circumstances, Xiaoka's three-pointers are terrifyingly accurate, and he has scored two three-pointers in a row, with a [-]% hit rate.

After a few minutes, the score was 17:10, and the Meng Yun team had already led by 7 points.

"beep"

Team James requested a timeout.

When he came off the court, James looked serious and said to everyone: "Our defense is still too lax. The opponent played very seriously, both defensively and offensively. They didn't play this as an exhibition game, but we did. I thought it was an exhibition game."

The faces of a group of James team players were a bit ugly. They felt that they were played by Meng Yun team. This is the All-Star game. Didn't they say "perform"? Are you so serious?

James added: "I hope we can be more serious in the future. The moment the opponent decides to be serious, the nature of the game has changed, and the outcome is no longer a matter of indifference. I think everyone understands that the opponent wants to Beat us, but I won't let them, and I hope you feel the same way."

The crowd nodded.

The timeout ended quickly, with personnel rotations on both sides.

On the Mengyun team, Dongcic, Embiid, and Antetokounmpo were replaced, and Gobert, Xiang Long, and Westbrook were replaced. Meng Yun chose the candidate. The Celtics coach directly became the audience. Anyway, there are so many players There is no objection, and he has nothing to refute as a polished commander.

The substitution of the James team was not made by James. After all, the coach of the James team is the head coach of the Lakers, and James still has to give a little face.

As a result, the head coach of the Lakers came up and down. Davis, James, Harden, and Irving were all replaced, replaced by Jokic, Siakam, Lillard, and Simmons. I don't know what he thinks about keeping Durant on the court.

The James team attacked, and Simmons advanced with the ball. After coming to the frontcourt, he prepared to play one first, but Meng Yun rushed over. In addition, Meng Yun's defensive formation is very strict. He has no shooting ability and mainly relies on breakthroughs. , but it is difficult to get past Meng Yun, and there are Gobert and Xiang Long behind, so think about it or forget it.

The ball was given to Lillard, Lillard received the ball with a gorgeous dribble, and then suddenly pulled out and shot outside the three-point line.

boom!
In the end, he didn't score, Xiang Long took the rebound and threw it directly to the frontcourt.

This was the tacit understanding between Xiang Long and Meng Yun. He knew that Meng Yun must be about to go down, so there was no delay. The basketball flew across an arc and flew towards the James team.

The players of the James team were stunned for a moment before they realized it. They looked along the basketball and couldn't help being shocked——Meng Yun had already reached the frontcourt!
Now there is no need to chase.

But no one chased after them. Although the James players promised to play hard and play seriously, they didn't really take it seriously and lacked a sense of urgency.
