king of defenders

Chapter 152 I Don't Believe You've Been So Accurate
"Wait and be careful about that No. 1 (Meng Yun)." Faulkner-Edward first made a substitution, replacing Barney Rupert and Carlyle Turner with two substitutes, and then told his opponents : "I thought he would only shoot three-pointers or break through for layups, but now it seems that is not the case, so we have to change our defense."

He looked at Neil Leonard: "Leonard, you need to make up the defense faster, don't stay in the three-second zone all the time."

Neil Leonard nodded, frowning and asked: "But coach, if I don't stay in the three-second zone, what will happen once the No. 1 pass is passed? The three-second zone cannot be empty."

"I know." Faulkner-Edward said: "So other people must defend. When you step forward, other people must immediately enter the three-second zone and hold your position. That is to say, we must use continuous Make up defenses, switch defenses, to limit his speed."

A group of players nodded with solemn expressions.

Constantly supplementing and changing defenses is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. If a defense is not in place, it is tantamount to giving the opponent a chance, and continuous defense changes may also be seized by the opponent to misplace the singles.

Therefore, it is not easy to really prevent it.

Faulkner-Edward also knows this, but Meng Yun is fast, has a sharp breakthrough, and has a three-pointer. Now he has shown a mid-range shot, which means that the scoring range covers the entire half court, plus he still has organization Ability, this is very difficult to handle.For now, that's the only way to go.

"There is still offense." Faulkner-Edward took a deep breath and continued to arrange.

Here, Mason Carr did not make much arrangement, but replaced Evan and Andy with Smith and Tommy.

Soon the pause will end.

Seeing that Evan was replaced, LS University changed its offensive strategy, no longer blindly shooting from the outside, and began to combine inside and outside. The overall focus is still on Mike David. The reason why Mason Carr didn't replace Ronald was to defend him.

As soon as it came up, Mike David scored one.

Turning around, Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt and exchanged glances with his teammates. Gordon came up to help him pick and roll. Meng Yun took the opportunity to throw off the defender. Just one step forward, Neil Leonard pounced on him.

"I knew it would be like this." Meng Yun secretly smiled and quickly divided the ball.

From the bottom line on the left, Ronald hit, grabbed the basketball, and flew forward with a dunk.

LS University still missed someone. Although someone filled Neil Leonard's position, he ignored Ronald and was sneaked by Ronald from the bottom line.

"Pounce on it a little bit."

Faulkner-Edward reminded loudly, but it was still a little late.

Meng Yun passed the first defender, stopped at the free throw line, flicked his wrist, and made another mid-range shot. The basketball crossed an arc and made a steady hit.

Neil Leonard shook his head, feeling helpless. If he jumped too far inside, he would miss someone. Even if he didn't, the inside space is too large, and the opponent is one-on-one. At this distance, the lethality is also great.

But if he didn't rush forward, Meng Yun would have shot directly.

"I didn't expect this guy to be able to shoot mid-range. He's so accurate. It's a miscalculation." Faulkner-Edward's face was livid. He also knew about Neil Leonard's troubles. The key is that outside players can't prevent Meng Yun's breakthrough , was easily broken by Meng Yun, and the defense line was immediately pierced. How can there be no problems?
In fact, Meng Yun's CIC caused this situation.

Originally, Meng Yun only had three-pointers and layups. Even if he passed the first defender, he couldn't make a shot in the area between the three-point line and the three-second zone. The opponent only needs to leave one person to guard the three-second zone.But now that Meng Yun has a mid-range shot to fill in the gap between the three-point line and the three-second zone, it is impossible for the opponent to arrange another person to wait for Meng Yun in this area, so no matter how they defend, they must There will be a blind spot.

In the blink of an eye, another two minutes passed.

Meng Yun scored another two points, not through mid-range shots, but through free throws. The opponent had no way to restrict Meng Yun, and did not dare to really let Meng Yun hit mid-range shots. In desperation, he had to foul.

In addition to scoring two points, Meng Yun also sent an assist, which also took advantage of the opponent's defensive imbalance to attract Neil Leonard's attention and assist his teammates to score points.

Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Wildcats quickly opened up the score and already led the opponent by 9 points!
"Substitution."

With a smile on his face, Mason Carr replaced Meng Yun and Ronald at the same time. There were only a few minutes left in the first half, and it was time for them to rest.

Not far away, Faulkner-Edward shook his head and sighed, and also made a substitution.

The game entered the rotation time. Meng Yun sat on the sidelines and talked to his teammates. Gordon smiled and said, "It's only a winter break. Your mid-range shots are so accurate. I can't believe it."

"I feel good today." Meng Yun smiled.

This is true. This winter break, his mid-range shot has improved a lot, but relatively speaking, he still can’t keep up with the three-pointer. Today, he made 4 of 3 mid-range shots. It really feels good, not a routine operation.

The wildcats didn't play very well in the next few minutes, but John played well, he was more and more "best sixth man", played very well in the second unit, although the rest of the team was not in good shape , but with his performance, the Wildcats still maintained a steady lead.

When the first half ended, the score was 33:27, and the Wildcats led by 6 points.

Entering the second half, LS University sent a starting lineup, while the Wildcats played Gordon, Evan, Ronald, Andy, Meng Yun, and Patrick was abandoned.

This guy had a sad face and kept muttering, leaving his teammates speechless, but no one comforted him, who made him so lazy, and gained 20kg in 8 days, there was no one else.

"ball."

Mike David asked for the ball, first took a tentative step, and then pulled it suddenly.

Swish!
The goal was scored, 33:29.

It has to be said that Mike David's strength is very strong. They were able to beat the Wildcats last season. Mike David contributed a lot to his personal scoring ability.

Here, the Wildcats fight back.

Meng Yun came to the front court and couldn't help laughing. LS University changed its defensive strategy against him. Barney Rupert didn't stick up like he did in the first half, but stayed one step away from him, obviously to guard against his breakthrough .

Meng Yun's breakthrough in the first half caused LS University pain, and Faulkner-Edward had no choice but to make Barney Rupert shrink a little and reserve enough distance to prevent Meng Yun from breaking through easily.

But in this way, it is tantamount to releasing Meng Yun by three points.

Seeing Meng Yun change direction and accelerate, and break through from the left, Barney Rupert was startled, and hurriedly retreated half a step.But the next moment, Meng Yun took a step back, stepped back outside the three-point line, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

Swish!
The goal was scored, 36:29.

In the auditorium, the home fans cheered.

On the sidelines, Faulkner Edward's face became very ugly, he gave Meng Yun a hard look, gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, and he said angrily, "I don't believe you've always been so accurate."
