king of defenders

Chapter 1421 This Was Premeditated
Pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, the James team replaced Durant and Irving, replaced Siakam, replaced Ingram, James and Davis remained on the court.

This substitution is to further strengthen the scoring ability, and the James team is also very clear that their advantage lies in their outstanding scoring ability. There are many people with strong scoring ability, the most outstanding of which is of course Durant. It's very good, now we need to chase points, and it is necessary to replace Durant.

In addition, Irving was also replaced. He, James, and Durant have both been teammates.

There is no special meaning in replacing Ingram, it is a normal rotation.

However, leaving James and Davis on the court, and replacing Durant and Irving, it can be said that the James team has already brought up their strongest lineup.

The Meng Yun team attacked.

Meng Yun took the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. It was James who came forward to meet him. Obviously everyone knew that Irving couldn't guard Meng Yun, so he didn't let him face Meng Yun, but James defended Meng Yun.

This was actually requested by James himself. He knew that Meng Yun would come back after the timeout, so Meng Yun was the biggest variable, and Meng Yun had to be restrained.

But what made James feel a little headache was that the Meng Yun team actually sent the Twin Towers!
Meng Yun glanced at the situation on the court, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Mitchell. Mitchell took the ball and made a three-pointer, but with a bang, he failed to make the shot.

However, Gobert has long been stuck in the interior, jumped up and took off the rebound. He and Mitchell are teammates on the same team. , give the ball immediately.

Mitchell caught the ball and jumped up, pulled the bar in the air, and scored the ball.

"This is the advantage of having a center forward inside. It's easier to shoot. You don't have to worry about not making shots or rebounding." Meng Yun smiled and turned back to defend.

Team James fought back.

James couldn't help frowning when he saw Gobert and Embiid guarding the inside. It's really difficult for these two towers to squat inside. Anyone who wants to break in and score is hard enough.

"It seems that we can only shoot from the outside." James secretly said, gestured to his teammates, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then pretended to break through and pass the ball to his teammates.

Irving took the ball and passed it to Durant. Durant also knew that with the twin towers of Embiid and Gobert, it was difficult to break through and score, so he shot directly from the outside.

boom!
It's a pity that I didn't make it this time.

Davis wanted to grab a rebound, but he was slammed by Gobelka, and Ingram on the other side couldn't grab Embiid. Embiid easily picked off the rebound and passed it to Meng Yun
Four minutes passed in a blink of an eye, the James team's scoring efficiency was not high, they all shot from the outside, the style of play was too single, and Gobert and Embiid didn't stay inside all the time, they also had to guard against it, although they didn't dare to go too far To the front, but after all where the height is, the interference is still great.

And once the James team fails to make a shot and gets no offensive rebounds at all, Embiid and Gobert show the rebounds to death.

Not only did it prevent the James team from grabbing offensive rebounds, but even the backcourt rebounds were a bit choking for the James team.

Embiid and Gobert are really good at grabbing rebounds, even better than Davis. No one on the James team can match them. Together, they will be even more invincible.

"Tsk tsk, these twin towers, the rebound is rounded."

"The James team can't grab rebounds at all. Embiid and Gobert are tall and have long arms, covering too much area. The entire area around the basket is their area. How can others grab it?"

"I didn't expect the Meng Yun team to deploy such a lineup. They used to play a quick counterattack before, but now they have a double tower. In the All-Star Game, they played double towers and turned the inside into a restricted area. This is the first time See. If he had known this earlier, James should have chosen one more inside player. Now the Meng Yun team has four inside players, and the James team has only one. The Meng Yun team can play the Twin Towers to the end, and there are other items off the court. Long and Giannis are replaced."

"Speaking of it this way, I think, could it be that Meng Yun chose this on purpose when he was selecting people, because he wanted to use the Twin Towers to deal with the James team?"

"Isn't it?"

People were discussing, and suddenly found that Meng Yun's selection seemed to be really targeted. The previous "small lineup" and the current "Twin Towers", looking at the entire lineup of Meng Yun's team, are all "plain and unpretentious" players Well, if today's game is played at the pace of the previous All-Star games, these people are probably not enough.

But today's game is played seriously. Players like Irving on the James team have no chance to "show off their skills".

So, was Meng Yun prepared when he was selecting candidates?

"Pull away."

Irving signaled his teammates to pull away. He singled Mitchell, took consecutive cross steps, and then suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, lowered his center of gravity, and made a gesture to break through. Mitchell moved to the left, and Irving suddenly had the advantage to change direction. The whole action was done in one go. It is pleasing to the eye.

With a whoosh, Irving rushed past Mitchell, jumped to the inside, paused in the air, and changed hands in the air, trying to avoid the defense.

结果
Snapped!
Gobert slapped the basketball and sent it flying.

After all, Irving still did not escape. Gobert is worthy of being the player who won the title of best defensive player. His defensive awareness is very good. He was also prepared for Irving's change of hands, and directly risked the ball.

"Beautiful." Meng Yun secretly praised, quickly grabbed the basketball, and then at full speed, rushed towards the James team's half court.

James reacted quickly and immediately chased after him.

However, in terms of speed, James is still a little slower than Meng Yun. In the past, James was always able to stage a big hat, but it was impossible for Meng Yun.

Bang!
Meng Yun dunked easily and scored two points.

At this time, the score was 69:51, and the Meng Yun team led by 18 points.

"beep"

Team James requested a timeout.

The fans in the auditorium did not expect that the James team would send the two pairs of James + Davis, and Durant + Irving to the field. The result is still not the opponent of the Meng Yun team. Being pulled away, he approached the 20-point mark again.

When James and the others came off the court, their faces were not very good-looking.

The teammates on the bench also looked dignified. Just now they played the strongest lineup. James and Durant were both on the court, but they still didn't have the upper hand.

Owen flicked the towel, and said bitterly: "This was premeditated, definitely premeditated, that guy Meng Yun planned it early in the morning, damn it!"
