king of defenders

Chapter 1441 Inside Monster Xianglong
Seeing Xiang Long taking the ball, the Nets immediately became vigilant. Yang put his body against Xiang Long.

But this time, without waiting for the Nets to help defend Xiang Long, it was a turnaround jumper. The basketball flew out of his fingertips and fell into the net precisely.

Afterwards, Xiang Long and Whiteside stood on the inside line, like two giant towers. Meng Yun gritted his teeth as he saw it. He never thought that one day he would face the twin towers formed by Xiang Long and Whiteside.

The opponent has twin towers guarding the inside, and Meng Yun has also reduced his breakthroughs and shot more from the outside. Occasionally, he breaks and divides the ball outside to send assists to his teammates.

However, the Nets' outside shooting percentage was not good today. Anthony and Harris had no touch. They missed consecutive three-pointers and couldn't get rebounds. They all fell into the hands of Xiang Long and Whiteside.

When the Nets are inaccurate outside, the role of the Heat's inside twin towers becomes more prominent. They can protect the rebounds well, and at the same time can deter the Nets, restrict the Nets' breakthrough, and let the Nets only Can shoot from the outside, but still can't make it.

This becomes a vicious cycle.

Within a few minutes of the first quarter, Coach Atkinson called a timeout, frowned and said to the players: "We still have to break through, and we can't just shoot from the outside." Then, he looked at Dinwiddie , "Dinwiddie, wait for you to come on and replace Harris."

"Meng Yun, Dinwiddie, you two need to break through more, and it is best to cause a foul by Xiang Long or Whiteside."

Hearing this, Meng Yun and Ding Weidi nodded in unison.

Now the Nets' offense is in trouble, falling into a vicious circle. They only shoot from the outside, but they can't make it. The more they can't make the shot, the more they want to shoot. If the expansion is too large, the Nets will not have good shooting opportunities from the outside.

Therefore, it is still necessary to break through and cause damage to the opponent's inside line, so that the opponent's inside deterrence will be weakened, and at the same time, the defense line will be shrunk, so that the Nets can get better opportunities on the outside.

For the Nets, there is one thing that is very helpless, that is, the inside is at an absolute disadvantage, so they can only rely on the outside, even if the outside shot is poor today, they still have to continue to shoot.

"beep"

Pause ends.

The Heat also changed people, replacing Whiteside with Monroe. Although Monroe is slightly shorter than Whiteside, his ability is not bad, not much inferior to Whiteside, and Xiang Long is still the same A combination of twin towers.Even, in terms of cooperation inside, Monroe and Xiang Long had a tacit understanding.

With Monroe, the Heat's offense will be more flexible, because Monroe is faster than Whiteside, and they can play faster.

Meng Yun knew the Heat very well. When the opponent replaced Monroe, he reminded his teammates: "Pay attention to the opponent's counterattack, and you must retreat quickly."

"Yeah." Dinwiddie and the others nodded in unison.

Dinwiddie came up to break through, attack the inside, create damage, and force the Heat to shrink the defense so that better shooting opportunities will appear from the outside.

At the same time, because Harris has a bad shooting feel today, he is a pure shooter. If he doesn't have a touch, he won't be very effective on the court, and Dinwiddie has more scoring methods.

In short, what the Nets need to solve most now is the offensive problem.

Dinwiddie made a breakthrough as soon as he came up, but he also immediately felt the terrifying deterrent force of the opponent's twin towers. After rushing into the inside, it was difficult to get a shot space, and it was even difficult to distribute the ball outside. There was a danger of mistakes. So Dinwiddie could only force a shot, but failed to score.

The Heat counterattacked very fast. Xiang Long didn't pass the ball after he got the rebound. He launched a counterattack by himself and quickly reached the frontcourt. Then he stopped outside the three-point line and made a gesture to shoot a three-pointer. After attracting the defense, he hit the ground The pass was passed to Walker, and Walker scored a layup.

"In a few months, Xiang Long's passing has become even better." Meng Yun raised his eyebrows, which is not surprising. Now Xiang Long's status is different. He is the core of the team and the leader of the team. There are more tasks to be undertaken, and naturally it is no longer just a matter of scoring as before.

As a team leader, he needs to be more comprehensive and have a better overall view. He must be able to use himself to attract defense, create opportunities for teammates, and pass the ball to teammates. This is a must-have ability.

Even if he didn't have it before, after most of the season, he should have some foundation.

Dinwiddie was deflated as soon as he came up, but was counterattacked by the opponent. Coach Atkinson's face was not very good. Fortunately, Meng Yun immediately returned his color and hit the inside line to score a layup.

"Although I can still score, the oppression of the opponent's twin towers is indeed great. I can only rely on speed and bounce to avoid their defense and score the ball." Meng Yun was not happy at all, "But if I play like this, I will The physical energy consumption will be very large, and the efficiency will be very low."

Thinking about it, Meng Yun made a gesture to his teammates, signaling them to run more, and at the same time ran to Dinwiddie, and told him: "Don't rush too deep, score the ball earlier."

"Okay." Dinwiddie nodded.

After that, Dinwiddie always scored the ball early, and Meng Yun became the most stable outside shooting point. He hit a three-pointer and a long two-pointer, helping the Nets stabilize the situation.

After another 2 minutes, Xiang Long was replaced by the opponent and Whiteside was replaced again.

Meng Yun was also replaced, and the field was dominated by Dinwiddie and LeVille.

When the first quarter ended, the Nets trailed by 5 points.

When entering the second quarter, Xiang Long returned to the court and began to explode. First, he hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, forcing the Nets to only defend beyond the three-point line. Xiang Long began to make frequent breakthroughs beyond the three-point line. When he rushed into the inside, it was almost impossible to stop him. The outside players did not have his height, and the inside players, whether it was Noelle, Yang, or Allen Technically, it is inferior to Xianglong too much.

In addition, Xiang Long performed extremely well in rebounding. He was simply a beast inside and grabbed a lot of backcourt rebounds. In addition, he also had two frontcourt rebounds.

Seeing this, the fans were all exclaimed.

Watching a yellow-skinned black-haired player change direction and pass Walker cleanly, he turned around and another yellow-skinned and black-haired player turned around in the paint. Buckle, the scene explodes.

This is also a rare scene in the NBA. In the past, Xiang Long was somewhat marginalized when he was in the Celtics, and his strength was not as strong as it is now. Later, when he came to the Heat, because he became teammates with Meng Yun, fans could not see the two on the court. The scene where you come and I go to each other explodes.

Now that Meng Yun has joined the Nets, Xiang Long's strength has also reached the All-Star level. This is why the fans watching this scene, especially the Chinese fans, are hooked.
