Chapter 732 The end of the preseason

As soon as the game was over, Meng Yun turned on the computer to check the results of the game between the Celtics and the 76ers.

"Xiang Long only scored 7 points and 1 rebound." Meng Yun stared at the computer screen and couldn't help frowning. He continued to read, and he didn't know what to say, "I only played 6 minutes and 30 seconds and scored 7 points." , 1 rebound, 4 of 2 shots, 3 free throws, the efficiency is actually very high, but he only played less than 7 minutes, what is the Celtics doing?"

Xiang Long's strength is very clear to Meng Yun. If you change to a weak team, you may be able to become the core directly. Even in a team like the Celtics, it shouldn't be like this.

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Yun understood, and could only smile wryly.

Mostly because of Xiang Long's character, he is withdrawn, but he is very proud. It would be better if he is with a group of people who are weaker than him. For example, in Alencia, the team needs Xiang Long, and the players also need him. If he can't win the ball, he has no record, so Xiang Long's life is quite satisfactory.

But now in the NBA, there are so many strong players.

"It's a pity. It would have been nice if I had gone to the Lakers." Meng Yun sighed, took out his phone and was about to call Xiang Long, but he didn't call in the end. Xiang Long didn't need comfort, let alone pity.

In the next few days, the Heat traveled all over the place, and the preseason game continued.

On October 10th, in an away game against the Timberwolves, Meng Yun played 9 minutes and scored 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists. Wade only played 4 minutes, and Lu Wei, Monroe and others were still working hard.In the end, the Heat defeated the Timberwolves 10:111, gaining two consecutive victories in the preseason.Although winning or losing the preseason is irrelevant, winning is still better than losing.

On October 10, the Heat returned to home against the Nets.

Meng Yun played 25 minutes in this game. Because it was at his home court, Meng Yun didn't want to lose. He scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. His efficiency was still frighteningly high. He led the Heat to 113: 109 to beat the Nets.

On October 10, the Heat challenged the Spurs away.

This time the Heat lost the game and failed to continue the victory. Meng Yun played 18 minutes and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists. Lu Wei and Monroe did not perform well. The Spurs' defense is well-deserved.

On October 10, the Timberwolves played away again and won again.

On October 10, at home against the Magic.
In a blink of an eye, 6 games have been played in the preseason, and the Heat have 5 wins and 1 loss, with a good record.

Of course, the outcome of the preseason has little to do with the Heat. The purpose of the Heat in the preseason is to train troops, practice tactics, cultivate tacit understanding, and check for omissions.

After a few games, Monroe, Lu Wei, Salinger, and Nene truly integrated into the team.After all, most of the time, you can't see the problem in normal training. You have to find it in the game. Through a few preseason games, some problems are exposed and gradually solved.

As the game progressed, the tacit understanding between Monroe, Lu Wei and Meng Yun also improved, and the tactical cooperation became more and more proficient and smooth.

"There are still two preseason games, and after the end is the regular season." Wade said while practicing shooting: "Although Dragic is gone, Monroe and Lu Wei are here. Johnson, Joseph Young There is progress. Especially you, you are much stronger than last season. This season, we will definitely go further."

"Yeah." Meng Yun nodded and said with a smile, "I can't wait."

Wade said: "Haha, you probably didn't exert much effort in the preseason, right? Wait, the regular season is just a few days away, and there will be plenty of opportunities then."

Meng Yun grinned, really suffocated.

Meng Yun didn't make much effort in the preseason games, and he didn't play much time. A game usually lasted more than ten minutes, and he didn't score many points.It is also related to the intensity of the preseason game itself. Winning or losing is not important, and the intensity of the game is not high. Even if Meng Yun really plays, he will not be interested.

So Meng Yun has not shot with all his strength, just waiting for the regular season to come, so that he can explode with all his strength.

at the same time.

Boston, North Shore Gardens.

Today's training is over, but Xiang Long didn't leave. He stayed alone for extra training. He didn't need anyone to accompany him, and he was used to it.

Shoot yourself, pick up the ball, get back to position, shoot again, and repeat.
"Huh?" Coach Stevens left after dealing with some things in the office. He heard voices in the arena. He glanced quietly and saw Xiang Long repeating the boring training over and over again. He couldn't help sighing, "What a good seedling, it's just a pity."

In a few preseason games, Stevens gave Xiang Long some opportunities two or three times at the beginning, but Xiang Long was always out of tune with the team system. Stevens had no choice but to reduce Xiang Long's playing time.

Without enough playing time, Xiang Long's performance can't be called outstanding. He averaged 6.2 points per game in several preseason games.

"It's not that I don't give you a chance. The preseason is nothing, but when the regular season comes, the outcome of the game is no longer indifferent." Stevens said to himself: "When it comes to the regular season, you still can't integrate into it." The team's system, then your presence on the court will not only not help the team, but will also be harmful. So unless you take the initiative to change, or sooner or later, your playing time will be restricted. The restriction during the regular season is not much different from the restriction now. "

After taking a deep look at Xiang Long, Stevens turned and left. He still hoped that Xiang Long could make changes by himself.

On October 10, the Heat lost to the Hornets away.

On October 10, the Heat beat the 22ers at home.

So far, the Heat’s preseason games are all over. A total of 8 games, 6 wins and 2 losses. The training task required by Spoelstra has also been successfully completed. Monroe and Lu Wei have performed well in the team. Salinger was still a bit reluctant, but that was fine, anyway, he was just a substitute, and the regular season hadn't come yet, so he had time to adjust.

"Boss, I found what you wanted." Joseph Yang put the laptop in front of Meng Yun, pointed at the computer screen, and said, "Xiang Long's game data, and game video clips, and there are also some information about him. The report. Boss, your compatriot did not do well in the Celtics. It is a pity that you are the third pick in the first round."

"Nonsense, don't I know how to read it?" Meng Yun actually knew that Xiang Long didn't do well in the Celtics, and it probably had something to do with his personality, so he asked Joseph Young to look for some information.

Looking at Xiang Long's data on the computer, Meng Yun frowned secretly. The Celtics' preseason game has also ended. In 7 preseason games, Xiang Long averaged 8.5 minutes per game and 6.0 points per game.

"It seems that Xiang Long's situation is really not optimistic. In the 7 preseason games, he averaged only 8 minutes per game. He was not in the front of the bench, and he averaged less than 5 shots per game." Meng Yun couldn't help it Annoyed, complaining about Xiang Long: "Is there something wrong with the Celtics? The player who was selected with the third overall pick in the first round, is it just used?"
