Chapter 1432 Impact on the third place in the East
Due to time constraints, Meng Yun and Guo Shuyao returned to the United States after the National High School Basketball League Finals.

On the second day after returning to the United States, Meng Yun returned to the team to participate in training. In the evening they will usher in the first game after the All-Star.

After the All-Star Weekend, there is only one-third of the regular season left, and for some teams, this one-third is also an extremely critical schedule, which will determine whether they can get tickets to the playoffs.

This is the case every season. Some teams that are hovering at the threshold of the playoffs will start to sprint for the playoff tickets after the All-Star Weekend. Even the top-ranked teams will also work hard for the ranking.

For example, the Nets, now the Nets are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, and there will be no problem entering the playoffs, but they still have to work hard, because the fourth position is not good, and they will face the Eastern Conference in the playoffs The fifth team, no matter whether it is the East or the West, No.5 should not be underestimated.

And even if they successfully pass the first round, they will directly face the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference in the second round.

So fourth in the East is not a good position, and the situation in the East is that the No. [-] Celtics and No. [-] Bucks have played very well this season. It is too difficult to surpass them, almost impossible.But the third Heat and the Nets are not far behind, and it is possible to surpass the Heat and become the third in the Eastern Conference.

For the Heat and the Nets, they both want the third position in the Eastern Conference.

In the arena.

Nets players finished training and sat on the sidelines to rest.

Coach Atkinson came over, clapped his hands, and said: "We have 31 regular season games left, and we are only two games away from the Heat. What we have to do is catch up with the Heat and surpass the Heat. They became the third in the Eastern Conference."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

Everyone knows this.

Coach Atkinson said again: "So in the future we will take every game seriously and strive to win."

That night, the Nets played against the 76ers at home.

The 76ers can also be regarded as one of the strong teams in the East. Now their record ranks sixth in the East, and the Raptors are fifth in the East. However, the record of the 76ers is not stable. The season is always on and off, and whether it can hold the fifth place in the Eastern Conference is also a question.

So they also need to deal with every game seriously, especially when Embiid and Simmons are both healthy, and strive to win every game.

"beep"

Game start.

From the very beginning, Meng Yun turned on the scoring mode, scoring consecutively, all of which were breakthroughs, rushing into the inside to score.

Embiid's deterrence in the interior is not small, but it is useless against Meng Yun. He doesn't think he can defend Meng Yun. After a few minutes in the first quarter, Meng Yun has already scored 10 points. The Nets Also ahead of the opponent.

Then Meng Yun reduced his personal offense and began to assist his teammates. The Nets gradually opened up the situation outside the three-point line. Harris is still the most stable three-point shooting point besides Meng Yun. In addition, Dinwiddie, Anthony, Beli Cha also shot well, with a wave of three-pointers raining down, the point difference has been widened to more than ten points.

LaVine had the upper hand throughout the first quarter, and the same after entering the second quarter.

It wasn't until the third quarter that the 76ers launched a wave of counterattacks to catch up with the score, but they were soon overtaken by the Nets, and the point difference was widened again.

By the end of the game, the Nets beat the 120ers 111:76.

Meng Yun scored 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 13 assists. He easily got a double-double, beat the 76ers double star, and won the first victory after the All-Star.

After that, the Nets ushered in the Hornets, Magic, Wizards, Celtics, Grizzlies and other teams. Except for the loss to the Celtics, the Nets won all the other games.

However, the Heat played very well. After the All-Star Weekend, Xiang Long performed even better, averaging 26+12 per game. Under the leadership of him and Walker, the Heat won a wave of five consecutive victories. It firmly occupies the third position in the Eastern Conference.

On this day, the Nets ushered in a game against the Lakers.

This is the first time the Nets have played against the Lakers this season. What kind of performance Meng Yun will have against the Lakers with the Big Three has become the focus of attention.

"It's going to be a great game for sure."

"To be honest, I'm really not optimistic about the Nets. Although the Nets have played well this season, the gap compared with the Lakers is still obvious. Meng Yun is very strong and can't lose to LeBron, but the Lakers can't beat LeBron. There are Davis and George besides Brown, but the Nets don't have such people."

"In terms of overall strength, the Nets are indeed inferior to the Lakers. The gap is still obvious, but I don't think there is any need to worry about Meng Yun's performance."

This season the Lakers and the Nets are the focus of fans' attention, so the first collision between the two teams this season has attracted the attention of countless fans.

Everyone wants to see how these two teams will collide.

night.

Nets home.

In the auditorium, Guo Shuyao, Guo Hai, and Liu Qin were all there. Guo Hai and Liu Qin had already returned from China.

On the court, the players from both sides have finished their warm-up and returned to their coaches. The game is about to begin.

"Snapped!"

The Lakers got the ball first, and James advanced with the ball.

The Big Three of the Lakers played together today, and the starting lineup was McGee and Pope in addition to James, Davis, and George.

Of course, with the Big Three, it doesn’t matter who the other two players are. With Davis and George by his side, James is not in a hurry to score. He passes the ball to Davis in the frontcourt. Weiss didn't ask for the ball in the low post, but stood outside the three-point line, and didn't attack immediately after getting the ball.

At this time, George ran towards Davis. Davis handed the ball to George, and then turned sideways to cover George. George threw off the defense and shot directly outside the three-point line.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

"The first one went in. It seems that George is in good condition today."

"This is not a good thing. If the Big Three are in good condition, then the Nets will have nothing to play."

People were talking.

The Nets launched a counterattack. After Meng Yun arrived in the frontcourt, it was George who came forward to meet him. With George in James, he did not come to defend Meng Yun. George is also a very good defensive player and has been selected to the best defensive team many times.

Seeing George blocking the front, Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll. At the same time, the Lakers had already shrunk their defense, and they were very afraid of Meng Yun's breakthrough.

However, Meng Yun did not choose to break through, but used the pick-and-roll to get rid of George, moved two steps sideways, and took advantage of McGee's supplementary defense, and directly shot a three-pointer.
