king of defenders

Chapter 427 Confronting Kemba Walker

In a blink of an eye, there was more than one minute left in the first quarter, and the score was 22:18.

The Heat's lineup is Anderson, Haslem, Green, Joseph Young, and Meng Yun.

This lineup is really lackluster. There are not many people who can score. Anderson and Haslem can basically be ignored. They can only grab rebounds. Green has no ability to attack with the ball. He can only shoot from a fixed point and set up a fort Waiting for the ball on the outside, or cutting in the air, you also have to wait for someone to feed the ball.

Not to mention Joseph Young, he is a bit like Nick Young of the Lakers. This Yang Shaoxia is the same as the Lakers Yang Shaoxia. It's not that he can't score, it just depends on his mood and luck.

Therefore, the current lineup of the Heat on the court is based on Meng Yun. Joseph Young will hand the ball to Meng Yun when he reaches the frontcourt.

Wall was replaced by Jeremy Lin, but after Joseph Young came up, Jeremy Lin played against Joseph Young, and Jeremy Lamb played against Meng Yun.

Jeremy Lamb was the 12th pick in the first round of 12. He was selected by the Thunder in 12. However, he failed to achieve results in the Thunder. He played in the Thunder for three years and his scoring average has always been maintained. In the single digits, the Thunder couldn't wait to trade him to the Hornets as soon as the three-year rookie contract guarantee period expired.

For Jeremy Lamb, whether he can gain a foothold in the new Hornets team is a problem. He must seize every minute on the court to prove his worth.

Even if it's just the preseason.

Seeing Meng Yun coming to the frontcourt, Jeremy Lamb quickly stepped forward, opened his hands and lowered his center of gravity, stared at Meng Yun coldly, and said, "Rookie, I will let you know what an NBA level is." Defense. Don't think you score a few goals and it's nothing, I tell you it's nothing, my teammates don't take defense seriously. It's just preseason, they don't take it seriously, but I will, you Will find out soon."

"Really?" Meng Yun smiled.

The next moment, Meng Yun started and broke through from the left.

Jeremy Lamb moved quickly to the right, but at this moment, Meng Yun suddenly changed direction, and his whole body was like a phantom, flashing in front of Jeremy Lamb, waiting for Jeremy Lamb to react , stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a handful of air.

Passing Jeremy Lamb, Meng Yun rushed to the inside and jumped towards the defender. The terrifying bounce was fully revealed at this moment. He lifted the ball over the defender's arm and flicked his fingers lightly.

Swish!
The goal was scored and the score was rewritten to 22:20.

Jeremy Lamb looked depressed and was about to say something, but found that Meng Yun didn't even look at him, and turned back to defend directly after scoring the goal.

"Damn Chinese kid." Jeremy Lamb muttered annoyed.

Meng Yun really doesn't care about Jeremy Lamb. Although Jeremy Lamb is 196 cm tall, young and has excellent physical fitness, he has nothing outstanding. Meng Yun was inferior, and his speed was even worse. His skills and awareness were not as good as Meng Yun's.

Even in terms of experience, Jeremy Lamb is not necessarily richer than Meng Yun. He has not averaged much playing time in the three years of the Thunder, but Meng Yun has played more than James, Anthony, Paul, Wade and others. Crushed and polished.

Hornets attack.

Without Walker, Batum, Williams and others, the Hornets' rotation really can't find anyone who can stand up and score, which is worse than the Heat's rotation.

Of course, in terms of team lineup and background, there is a big gap between the Hornets and the Heat. One is a playoff team, and the other is the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

boom!
The Hornets strike iron.

Anderson grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Meng Yun. Meng Yun immediately launched a quick counterattack. There was only 1 minute left in the first quarter, which was not much time.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

"Be careful Meng, stop him quickly."

There were also some Hornets players in the audience. Seeing Meng Yun launch a quick counterattack, they suddenly became nervous and reminded the Hornets players loudly.There are only 2 points left in the point difference. If this offense allows the Heat to score, then the point difference will be wiped out directly.

Therefore, this ball is very important.

"Don't try to score easily." Jeremy Lamb gritted his teeth and flew towards Meng Yun.

Meng Yun dribbled the ball behind his back and flashed past Jeremy Lamb. He was already outside the three-point line in the frontcourt. In front of him was Al Jefferson, the inside line of the Hornets. He returned to the defense very quickly and had already returned to the inside line. Stay on the edge of the three-second zone.

Seeing Meng Yun rushing over, Jeremy Lamb bent over and stood in front of Meng Yun, but Meng Yun suddenly jumped up, half a step within the free throw line.

"What?" Al Jefferson was surprised and froze in place.

In the auditorium, the fans were all surprised, they all stood up and opened their mouths wide.

I saw Meng Yun's body soaring into the air, slid across the air, passed Al Jefferson, raised the ball with his right hand, and dunked it down like a magic soldier descending from the sky.

Bang!
There was an explosion, and the audience was silent.

People were stunned, all shocked.

"Roar"

"my God!"

"What did I see? This dunk is really unbelievable. How did he do it with a one-handed dunk that took off half a step inside the free throw line?"

After a few seconds, the fans came back to their senses. Screams, cheers, and shouts came one after another. They were shocked and vented their excitement in various ways.

On the sidelines, players from both sides were also shocked.

This dunk is amazing. If it is placed in the regular season, it will definitely be the top ten balls, and it will be the first in the top ten balls. How much can you do with such a take-off distance?

After a while, the fans calmed down.

With 22 seconds left in the first quarter, both sides had an opportunity to attack, but they failed to score.But even so, with Meng Yun's dunk, the score was rewritten to 22:[-], and the two sides tied.

Soon, the second quarter begins.

Meng Yun didn't go, and neither did Walker on the Hornets.

It was not until more than five minutes into the second quarter that Walker was replaced, and then Meng Yun also played, and he faced Walker again. Walker soon discovered that it became more difficult for him to break through Meng Yun this time. .

It seems that Meng Yun's defense has become stronger.

In fact, it's not that Meng Yun's defense has become stronger, but that he is more familiar with Walker. After the first quarter, he is no longer so unfamiliar with Walker, and his defense is more targeted.

However, Meng Yun also found that it became more and more difficult for him to score. The Hornets strengthened their defense against him because Meng Yun played so well in the first quarter.

As a result, both Meng Yun and Walker reduced their individual singles and began to rely more on cooperation and team offense. The two sides came and went, and the score was always stalemate.

Until the end of the first half, the score was 50:48, and the Hornets led by 2 points.
