king of defenders

Chapter 390 This is the Spurs

"Huh?" Kyle Anderson frowned, and instead of playing forcefully, he passed the ball.

This surprised Meng Yun. Originally, he thought that Kyle Anderson would force the shot, but he didn't expect Kyle Anderson to pass the ball instead of forcing it.

Meng Yun took a deep look at Kyle Anderson. It is not luck that Kyle Anderson averaged 20+ per game in the summer league. As a second-year player, he is more mature than rookies like Mudiay and Winsnow. Many, if it is Mudiay and Winsnow, young and energetic, in this case, they must be forced to shoot.

And Kyle Anderson didn't.

Meng Yun could tell that Kyle Anderson wasn't timid or cowardly, he was just calm enough.

"Finally met an opponent, very good." Meng Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled. From the Orlando Summer League to the Las Vegas Summer League, Meng Yun hardly met an opponent.

This made Meng Yun somewhat disappointed, but Kyle Anderson seemed to be a good opponent. He had solid skills, played confidently, and was calm.

boom!
The Spurs failed to score this time.

Smith took the rebound and quickly passed it to Meng Yun. Meng Yun quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Will Cherry pounced on him. Meng Yun did not hesitate and accelerated with a change of direction.But the Spurs were already prepared. Jarrell Eddie rushed over to help Will Cherry defend. Meng Yun didn't hesitate and passed the ball.

After two more passes, the basketball returned to Meng Yun's hands. Seeing that Jarrell Eddie was coming to help defend again, Meng Yun's heart moved, and he gave Johnson a wink. Jumping over, Johnson quickly pulled to the other side, Meng Yun flicked his wrist, and made a ground pass. The basketball bounced off the floor, passed through the crowd, and fell into Johnson's hands accurately.

"Meng's passing is getting better and better." Johnson thought to himself, and adjusted a little while holding the ball. Anyway, there was no one within two or three meters in front of him.

Jump up, flick your wrist.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the basketball went into the net hollow, and the three-pointer was effective.

Cheers erupted from the auditorium, and Johnson ran back to high-five Meng Yun.

On the sidelines, Becky Harmon frowned, and Popovich said: "This is where Mumby is outstanding. He can not only score by himself, but also has an excellent overall view, good vision, and imagination. He Always get the ball in the best position."

"Well." Becky Harmon nodded, and she also admitted this, "Meng's organizational skills are indeed very good. In the summer league, he averaged 7 assists per game, ranking first among all players."

Don't look at just averaging 7 assists per game, but because of the particularity of the summer league, the composition of the players is complex, and it is difficult to cooperate tacitly. Therefore, even the kind of players who only pass the ball and do not score, it is difficult to send 7 assists in a game.Meng Yun averaged at least 7 assists per game, which is already the number one among all players.

Ranked second in points per game and first in assists per game. This is Meng Yun's data.

In fact, Meng Yun's average rebounds per game is also good, reaching 5.3. At least he is a guard after all, and he is at a disadvantage compared with inside players in terms of rebounds.

On the court, the game continues.

Kyle Anderson didn't disappoint Meng Yun. He played calmly and didn't insist on one-on-one with Meng Yun. After knowing that it was difficult to break through Meng Yun, he began to use his teammates' screens and pick-and-rolls to find opportunities to make shots. When his teammates have an opportunity, he will pass the ball as soon as possible.

Although it was Becky Harmon who led the team this time, not coach Popovich, but Becky Harmon followed Coach Popovich, and she was influenced by what she saw and heard, and she carried some shadow of Popovich to some extent. The summer league team brought out still adheres to the characteristics of the Spurs, with rigorous defense and reasonable offense.

Even if this is only a summer league team, it is far from the real Spurs, but they have a strong Spurs-style offense and defense, which still makes the Heat feel a lot of pressure.

After a few minutes, Kyle Anderson scored 4 points and Meng Yun scored 7 points, but the score between the two sides was 14:13, and the Heat were still one point behind.

"beep"

McAdoo called a timeout.

Beside, Craig and Rostern frowned.

The Heat didn't play badly in the past few minutes, especially Meng Yun, who scored half of the points on the offensive end and restricted Kyle Anderson on the defensive end, but the score fell behind. This is a problem.

"Everyone come here." McAdoo beckoned to the players and spread out the tactical board. "As you can see, we didn't play badly, but we fell behind. This is the Spurs, and this is their rhythm of the game."

Hearing this sentence, Meng Yun raised his brows and suddenly understood.

McAdoo didn't show off, and said directly: "This is the reason why we are behind. We are caught in the rhythm of the Spurs' game and follow the opponent's rhythm. How can we not fall behind?"

Everyone was stunned, but Meng Yun thought of it first.

Meng Yun looked at McAdoo, and the others also looked at McAdoo, McAdoo narrowed his eyes, with a sharp light shining in his eyes, and said: "So what we have to do is to get rid of the rhythm of the Spurs. We have to play the rhythm that belongs to our Heat team, and whoever controls the rhythm on the court controls the initiative, understand?"

Everyone was shocked and nodded in unison: "Understood."

Afterwards, McAdoo spread out the tactical board and began to arrange: "We will do this later"

"beep"

Pause ends.

McAdoo made personnel adjustments, replacing Smith with Tris, and replacing Ennis with Joseph Young, reducing his height in order to speed up.

For the Heat's offense, Joseph Young's organizational skills are not strong, so Meng Yun is still playing the 1st position and Joseph Young is playing the 2nd position, but it is actually a double guard arrangement.

Coming to the frontcourt, Meng Yun didn't pause, quickly split the ball, and passed it to Joseph Young, who also didn't pause, a sudden point, and passed it to Trice.At the same time, Meng Yun slid around the baseline, used Whittington's cover to shake off the defender, and passed by Triss, Triss handed the ball to Meng Yun .

Meng Yun took the ball, turned around, raised his hand and shot.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

McAdoo nodded secretly. The most important thing about this attack was not the goal scored, but the team's overall rhythm. The entire attack took only 13 seconds, which was very fast.

That's what McAdoo wanted.

Not far away, coach Popovich frowned, seeing some clues. He thought about it, but still didn't remind Becky Harmon.

He's a spectator now, not a coach.There can only be one voice on the court, and that is the voice of the head coach, so Popovich chose to be silent at this time. He cannot interfere with Becky Harmon, and he believes that Becky Harmon can also see the Heat's strength. Strategy, but maybe the time will be later.
