king of defenders

Chapter 1534
Milwaukee.

The Bucks players gathered in the arena, gearing up for a while, training hard, all with high morale, waiting for the second round of the playoffs.

In the past few years, the Bucks can be said to be very sad. They can enter the playoffs every year, but fall to the second round every year. What's more sad is that they meet Meng Yun's team every time. Losing to Meng Yun's team, it seemed that Meng Yun was their nemesis.

Brother Antetokounmpo is even more aggrieved. His personal performance is not bad. Anyone who has seen him will praise him as "awesome", but because every time he meets the team led by Meng Yun in the playoffs, Losing makes people feel that he is not as good as Meng Yun, but he has no way to refute it.

After all, the facts are there, the stars watch the regular season, the superstars watch the playoffs, and the playoffs lead the team to poor results. This time they lost to Meng Yun, what else is there to say?
Especially last season.

Meng Yun was in the Heat before. After all, the Heat have a very strong lineup. They have Xiang Long, Whiteside, and a group of outstanding players such as Monroe and Lu Wei. Under the leadership of Meng Yun, it is a championship team. Nothing, no shame.

But Meng Yun just arrived in the Nets last season, with a lineup like the Nets, they were able to make the playoffs because Meng Yun was strong enough, but in the end the Bucks still lost to them, allowing the Nets to step on them to advance to the Eastern Conference In the final, that is really unreasonable.

So this time they vowed to beat the Nets. Antetokounmpo gritted his teeth and told himself that he must beat Meng Yun this time to save his dignity.

But when the two sides played against each other, the Bucks found that the situation was not as optimistic as they thought.

The Nets this season are not the Nets of last season. Compared with last season, the strength of the current Nets has not improved a little bit. It is enough to show that Zhuang Shen and Harrell were selected for the All-Star bench this season. Many problems, their arrival made up for the shortcomings of the Nets' inside line, and turned their inside line from a disadvantage to an advantage. Coupled with the already excellent outside line, the entire lineup is very balanced and amazingly strong.

The Bucks have not changed much this season compared to last season. The only change may be that Antetokounmpo's shooting has become better and his three-point shooting percentage has increased.

But this little improvement is far behind the improvement of the Nets.

Last season, the Nets beat the Bucks by relying on Meng Yun's super performance. This season, they don't need Meng Yun to perform like that again. They only need Meng Yun to offset Brother Antetokounmpo. The other players of the Nets are enough to defeat Bucks again.

The Nets defeated the Bucks 117:108 in the first game between the two sides.

Afterwards, the Bucks played very well in the second game. At most, they led the Nets by 14 points, but in the end they were overthrown by the Nets. Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Nets blossomed a lot. , played a wave of 10:0 shock waves, and then overtook the score.

Until the end of the game, the Bucks failed to overtake the score. Although Antetokounmpo scored 37 points and 12 rebounds in this game, he was still powerless.

After two games, the Nets are 2:0.

After that, the two sides ushered in the third game of the series, and the game returned to the home court of the Bucks.

The Bucks won this game, but it was not easy. In the end, they only won the Nets by five points.

The two sides have played three games, and many people have already understood that the Bucks are indeed inferior to the Nets in terms of the overall strength of both sides.It's not just because of Meng Yun, but the Nets have a more balanced lineup and a deeper bench.

The fourth game of the series was still at the home court of the Bucks, but this time the Bucks fell into a disadvantage from the beginning.

In this game, Meng Yun broke out completely. He scored 30 points in the first half. His terrifying scoring ability was fully revealed. Even Antetokounmpo played very well, but it was still a little worse than Meng Yunlai, and it was not completely perfect. Offset the role of Meng Yun.

After entering the second half, Meng Yun continued his excellent performance in the first half, and he was always able to stand up and score at every critical moment.

In view of the fact that Harrell is only 203 cm tall and has weak frame protection ability, he is at a disadvantage against the inside combination of Antetokounmpo + Lopez, so Coach Atkinson made some adjustments to the inside personnel and sent Zhuangshen + Noel's combination.

Noel's scoring ability is obviously not as good as Harrell's, but he has height and excellent physical fitness, and he is worse than Harrell in terms of defensive end and rebound protection.Paired with Zhuangshen, it has a good defensive effect on Antetokounmpo.

When Meng Yun tore through the Bucks' defense time and time again, captured the Bucks' basket, and scored crazy points, Antetokounmpo couldn't fight back on the offensive end. The combination of Zhuang Shen and Noel has the ability to protect the frame. Very good, it has a restrictive effect on Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo has indeed improved his outside shooting ability this season, but only compared to his previous ones. When Zhuang Shen and Noel guard the inside and force Antetokounmpo to take more shots from the outside, his shooting percentage will eventually Still not stable enough.

But Meng Yun does not have this kind of problem at all. Shooting has always been his strength, and because of his speed, height, and bouncing advantages, his ability to break through and attack the basket is also at the top level in the league.

Therefore, Meng Yun has more scoring methods, and his offensive stability and efficiency are higher than Antetokounmpo.

When the game ended, the Nets won.

Meng Yun exploded in this game, scoring 44 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Although Antetokounmpo scored 30 points, compared with Meng Yun's 44 points, the gap is still obvious .He failed to counteract Meng Yun's effect, so the Bucks lost.

The big score in the series between the two sides became 3:1, and the Nets got the match point.

In the next two games, the Bucks had one win and one loss. They won the fifth game in a thrilling manner, but lost the sixth game and were eliminated.

In the end, this round of the series scored 4:2, and the Nets advanced.

The Bucks once again lost to the team led by Meng Yun, and Meng Yun's title of "Bucks Buster" was completely confirmed.

In the past, James led the Cavaliers to defeat the Raptors in the playoffs for three consecutive years in the Cavaliers. Everyone knows that the Raptors are not afraid of the Cavaliers, but they are afraid of James, and James has also been crowned the title of "Raptors Buster". The star of the Dragons, DeRozan, performed abnormally as soon as he met James. He didn't look like an All-Star at all. In the end, he was beaten to the West by James.

Now that Meng Yun has beaten the Bucks year after year and has become the "Bucks nemesis", messages began to spread from the outside world, saying that Antetokounmpo is leaving the Bucks and going to the Western Conference.
