king of defenders

Chapter 1440 Fighting the Old Lord

"Finally playing against the Heat, I have been waiting for this game for too long."

"Yeah, the regular season is almost over and the two teams played against each other for the first time. Finally, I can see Meng Yun and Xiang Long facing each other. I remember that when Xiang Long was in the Celtics, every time they played against each other. Longdu played very well, it's really nostalgic when you think about it."

"Not only at that time, but also during the NCAA. Many people may not know that the duel between Xiang Long and Meng Yun in the NCAA was wonderful."

"Oh, really? I really haven't seen it"

This is a battle of focus. Meng Yun played against the Heat for the first time after leaving the Heat. He and Xiang Long became rivals again. What will happen in the collision between the two?
The fans are looking forward to it, so the attendance rate of this game is also very high, exceeding [-]%, close to [-]%, the arena is full of darkness, and the sound is loud.

A group of reporters had already adjusted the machine and were chatting with each other.

One person said: "When interviewing the Heat before the game, Xiang Long said that they will definitely go all out to beat the Nets. Hehe, it seems that Xiang Long will not hold back."

The person next to him smiled and said: "Although Xiang Long and Meng Yun are good brothers, they are in different teams now, and they are opponents when they meet on the field. What's more, this game is about who can become the third in the Eastern Conference. , of course you have to do your best.”

This game is very critical, because both sides have the same record now, whoever wins this game will take the lead in record and become the third in the Eastern Conference.

And there is not much left in the regular season, only a dozen or so games. Whoever can win the two teams at this time will have the advantage.

So both sides value this game very much.

After a while, players from both sides came out one after another.

A group of Heat players hugged Meng Yun one after another. Although Meng Yun left the Heat due to conflicts with the management, the relationship with the players is still very good.

No one thought Meng Yun's departure was a betrayal.

If you want to talk about betrayal, it is obvious that the Heat's management headed by Pat Riley and Andy Ellisberg betrayed Meng Yun.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Today I will not be soft-hearted."

"Haha, Yang, you seem to have grown taller. Oh, that's right, I was just joking, why don't you wait for the game to come to a heads-up round, and I can give you one hand"

Meng Yun smiled and greeted his former teammates.

At the end was Xiang Long. The two embraced. Meng Yun said with a smile: "I heard that in the pre-match interview, you made harsh words and wanted to defeat us. You are looking down on me."

Xiang Long rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "We are opponents on the field."

Meng Yun laughed: "I'm just waiting for your words, otherwise I won't be ashamed to be cruel after a while."

After some warm-up, the game is about to start.

Although this game is very critical, the two teams can be said to be fighting each other, and both of them are bound to win this game, but the atmosphere is quite harmonious and there is no anger.

This is rare. In the past, many players fought against their former owners with some fireworks, but today Meng Yun's battle with his former owners was completely absent. On the contrary, the scene was very harmonious. A group of Heat players were very friendly, even Coach Spoelstra. The members of the Heat's coaching staff pulled Meng Yun to chat for a long time.

But when the game started, everyone became serious.

As Xiang Long said, he is an opponent in the arena, and the past love is put aside first.

"Snapped!"

Whiteside won the jump ball, and Meng Yun had already returned to his own half early, because he knew the Heat very well and knew that Noelle would definitely not be able to jump Whiteside.

The Heat's starting lineup is Whiteside, Xiang Long, Gay, Johnson, Walker.

Before Meng Yun was in the Heat, it was almost the same lineup, but at that time the starting guards were Meng Yun and Korver, and now it has become Walker and Taylor Johnson. Korver is getting older and older, so The role played is becoming more and more limited, giving up the starting position and being replaced by a younger Johnson.

Walker advanced with the ball, and when he came to the frontcourt, he saw Meng Yun coming forward. He felt awe-inspiring, and he was extremely afraid of Meng Yun, so he didn't play by himself, but passed the ball to Xiang Long.

The Heat have Xiang Long and Whiteside, and there is Monroe on the bench, and the Nets are a little weak inside, so the Heat obviously have a great advantage inside, so start from the inside first.

After Xiang Long got the ball in the low post, he played back singles.

However, the Nets knew that they were at a disadvantage on the inside, so they had prepared accordingly. Seeing Xiang Long's low-post singles, someone came to help defend, and Xiang Long sent the ball out to Gay, who got it. The ball did not delay, and was quickly transferred to Whiteside on the other side.

Swish!
Whiteside scored.

Coach Atkinson frowned secretly. The Heat's inside advantage is indeed too great. Xiang Long is an All-Star power forward, and Whiteside is also a near-"quasi-All-Star" center. How to deal with it here, the insiders still suffer after all.

Neither Noelle nor Thaddeus Young have the strength to match up with the opponent's inside players.

"Our advantage lies on the outside." Coach Atkinson looked towards the court, and his eyes fell on Meng Yun.

The Nets counterattacked.

After Meng Yun came to the front court, it was a breakthrough. Walker had already made enough mental preparations. He knew that Meng Yun's speed was very fast, so he didn't hesitate at all after Meng Yun accelerated in a disguised form and passed half of his body. Immediately turned around and pursued.

However, he didn't expect Meng Yun to stop suddenly, Walker stopped subconsciously, and Whiteside, who was just about to step forward inside, also stopped subconsciously.

The next moment, Meng Yun started again, but Walker was too late to catch up because of a pause, and Whiteside also failed to pounce in time because of this, and Meng Yun lightly threw the ball and scored.

"This goal made it too easy for him to score." Walker frowned and looked at Whiteside. Whiteside smiled at him helplessly, and both of them were very helpless.

No one expected that Meng Yun suddenly stopped and changed his rhythm, which made Walker, who was about to pursue the chase, stop, and Whiteside, who was about to defend, also subconsciously stopped, which happened to leave Meng Yun There is room for shooting.

Meng Yun turned around and was a little excited while running towards his own half: "Sure enough, it worked. The change of rhythm made it easier for me to score, and it was even more unexpected by the defenders."

Then the Heat gave the ball to Xiang Long again.

Now Xiang Long is the absolute core of the Heat, he is the backbone of the inside line. He has comprehensive skills, can play low singles, has outside shots, and just happens to meet a team with a weak inside line like the Nets. Reasonable and most pertinent.
