king of defenders

Chapter 1434 Collision with No. [-] in the West
Entering the second quarter, the Nets continued the style of play in the first quarter. Meng Yun did not have too many personal offenses, but showed his comprehensiveness, balancing personal scoring and organizational offense well.

In fact, personal scoring and offensive organization are somewhat contradictory, because when you only have the basket in your eyes, you actually maintain a very high degree of concentration on offense. In this highly focused situation, your scoring ability will be improved. Greater release, but at the same time it will make you ignore your teammates.

So scoring and assists are actually somewhat contradictory. Even many excellent players find it difficult to balance the relationship between the two.

LeBron is one, and so is Meng Yun.

They are all able to find a delicate balance between scoring and organization, switch between the two with ease, score decisively when they need to score, and pass the ball in time when they need to pass.

Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Nets are playing very well. Everyone on the team is contributing their own strength to the team. Except for Meng Yun, other players are also actively scoring.

That's what the Lakers don't have in their role players.

The role players of the Lakers did not perform well, because there were superstars to attract defense, they got a lot of opportunities, but they failed to seize these opportunities, missed a lot of shots, and the efficiency was very low.

In terms of stars alone, Meng Yun is excellent, but the role played by one person is naturally not comparable to the Big Three of the Lakers, but the role played by the role players of the Nets is not comparable to that of the role players of the Lakers.

When halftime ended, the score was 64:58, and the Lakers led by 6 points.

Meng Yun scored 17 points in the first half, which means that other players scored 41 points. Among the Lakers' 64 points, the Big Three accounted for 42 points, and the other players scored a total of 22 points.

In other words, the role players of the Lakers only got half of the points of the role players of the Nets.

"You guys have to be more resolute in your shots. When you should make a shot, you must make a shot. Don't think about whether you can make a shot. You just need to know that this is correct and you should play like this." The Lakers head coach is teaching role players, "Le The Browns created a lot of good opportunities for you, all you have to do is seize these opportunities and score the goals that should be scored."

He was very dissatisfied with the performance of these role players in the first half. The statistics will not lie. His role players only scored 22 points, while the opponent's role players scored 41 points.

Of course, although they are all role players, there is also a gap in strength between them. For example, the Nets have Dinwiddie, Harris, Anthony, etc., and they are not comparable to Pope, Bradley and others on their side.

But with James and the others attracting defense, the role players on their side actually get better opportunities than their opponents. Even if they are weaker, the gap should not be so big.

A group of role players lowered their heads, speechless.

The second half begins quickly.

Entering the second half, the role players of the Lakers became more decisive and their performance improved.

However, the Nets obviously played better. First, Harris hit a three-pointer, and then Anthony hit two consecutive singles. Meng Yun also increased his personal offense and scored consecutively. The Lakers not only failed to take advantage, but After being beaten by the Nets and overtaking the score, the angry Lakers head coach quickly called a timeout.

"As I said, we need to play more holistically and have more people score." The head coach of the Lakers looked unhappy, "We must score the ball that should be scored. With so many shooting opportunities, you score How much?"

"There is also defense, not just the defense of Meng Yun, but also the defense of other Nets players. We let them score too easily."

In fact, the main problem is defense.

After entering the second half, the performance of the Lakers' role players has improved somewhat, but there is still no way to limit the Nets defensively, allowing the Nets to score too many points, so the point difference will be caught up, and even let the Nets overtake the score .

The offense wins the audience, and the defense wins.

This sentence is not all right. After all, depending on the circumstances, sometimes the offense can win the victory, but at least this sentence is true most of the time.

Just like in today's game, the Lakers' lineup is obviously more luxurious than the Nets'. The Sanming superstars also played very well, but now they are overtaken by the Nets.

This is the problem with the defense.

The head coach of the Lakers took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to let Meng Yun score a lot of points. As a superstar, he is so comprehensive. It is difficult for us to limit his scoring. But let Harris, Anthony, and Dinwiddie score so many points. That's unreasonable."

The players couldn't argue with that.

Today they did allow Harris, Dinwiddie, and Anthony to score too many points. It took only a few minutes in the third quarter. Harris scored 17 points and made 7 of 4 three-pointers. Dinwiddie got it With 16 points, Anthony has already scored 20 points. The three scored a total of 53 points, surpassing the Nets' scoring record.

In other words, the roles of Harris, Dinwiddie, and Anthony are comparable to, or even more than the sum of the two of the Big Three of the Lakers.

Counting Meng Yun, these four people have already offset the Big Three of the Lakers.

In the end, the head coach of the Lakers urged again: "Be sure to remember and do a good job of defense!"

"Um."

"Yes."

The crowd responded in unison.

For the Nets, Coach Atkinson first praised everyone, and then encouraged them to continue to perform like this.

But in the end, he still held Meng Yun and said solemnly: "Meng Yun, although we have played well for more than two quarters, this state may not last to the end, especially other players, so you still have to Just score more points."

Meng Yun nodded, expressing his understanding.

After all, the strength of other players is not as good as Meng Yun. For example, Harris, he has scored 17 points today and made 7 of 4 three-pointers. It's a three-pointer. It may be possible to expect Harris to continue to score three-pointers. It may be possible to score more than [-] points each, but it is unrealistic to have more.

Everyone can see that the Lakers' defense is not good enough, but you can't expect them to be like this throughout the game.

So for the Nets, Meng Yun is still their biggest reliance. Meng Yun must play well and better to have a chance to beat the Lakers.

Pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, and soon Meng Yun felt that the Lakers had strengthened their defense, and the defense became more fierce and active.
