king of defenders

Chapter 757 Rozier Was Hanged and Beaten
Rozier asked for a pick-and-roll and took the opportunity to break through but failed. Meng Yun followed closely. He was a little helpless, so he could only pass the ball back and pass it to Horford.

Horford is capable of responding, he is not the kind of stupid big man, he did not pass the ball to others immediately after he got the ball, but observed the situation on the field, and saw Xiang Long leaning against Monroe on the left side , With a move in his heart, he passed the ball: "The two goals Xiang Xiang scored just now were good, let him try again."

Not everyone in the Celtics rejects Xiang Long, only a small part rejects him, most people don't reject him, but they don't have a good relationship with him.

For example, Jerebko is arranged to share a room with Xiang Long every time he plays an away game. He does not reject Xiang Long, but the relationship with Xiang Long is not good.

Horford is similar. He doesn't reject Xiang Long. Does he have any grievances with Xiang Long? Seeing that Xiang Long is in good form today, and the first two balls are also very good. It's okay to pass him more balls.

Xiang Long took the ball, glanced at Horford, and then decisively played singles.

He was able to be replaced so early today because he found coach Brad Stevens, but coach Brad Stevens also said that he will be given a chance, but it also depends on his performance How, if he doesn't play well, he won't have much playing time in the next three quarters, basically the same as in the past dozen games, playing soy sauce; only if he performs well enough, can he get more playing time in the next three quarters.

Therefore, Xiang Long needs to play well enough in the first quarter to give people an amazing feeling. The duel between him and Meng Yun has just begun, and he doesn't want it to be over after the first quarter.

"Hmph, still want to break through?" Monroe lowered his weight and stared at Xiang Long coldly.

He had suffered a loss before, but this time he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Xiang Long is just a first-year rookie. He may have many shortcomings, but his talent and strength should not be underestimated. He is by no means a "parallel import". At least his physical fitness is very good. The first step is very fast. Monroe was secretly vigilant and retreated a little , the eyeballs rolled: "Will this guy break through from there?"

At this time, Xiang Long and Monroe are one step inside the three-point line at a [-]-degree angle on the left, and there is still a certain distance from the inside line. It is not very suitable for post-up singles. In the restricted area, someone has already come to help defend.

So Monroe thinks that Xiang Long is mostly a breakthrough. This kid has a quick first step, good ball-handling skills, and considerable breakthrough ability.

But at the next moment, Xiang Long suddenly jumped up.

"What?" Monroe cursed inwardly, jumping up subconsciously.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

Monroe froze for a moment, looked at Xiang Long, only saw a face that had no waves in Gujing, and couldn't help frowning: "This guy still shoots?"

A voice sounded beside him: "Be careful, Xiang Long has the ability to shoot, and the shooting percentage is not bad, and the shooting range is also very wide, covering the entire half court."

Monroe is blinded, what do you mean?This kid really has the ability to shoot, and can cover the entire half court. Doesn't it mean that he also has the ability to shoot three-pointers?
Moreover, the hit rate is not bad.

When Meng Yun said it wasn't bad, it was really not bad, and it could even be regarded as "not bad", because he took himself as the standard, and Meng Yun's shooting was very good.

"Is this kid so good?" Monroe was really a little surprised, but also a little confused. With such strength and the advantage of being the third pick in the first round, how could he be like that in the Celtics?
At the same time, the fans in the auditorium also discussed.

"This No. 11 (Xiang Long's jersey number) is very powerful. It can break through, bounce well, and can shoot. It seems to have comprehensive skills."

"Yeah, and he was the third pick in the first round this year."

"But he didn't seem to play very well in the Celtics, averaging less than [-] points per game."

"Then who knows? Maybe the Celtics hid him and hid their strength."

"Impossible? There is no such saying in the NBA. There are 82 games in the regular season. Does a rookie need to hide his strength? How can he grow and improve if he is hidden?"

"Too."

After all, Xiang Long was the third pick in the first round, and he became popular this summer. Many people knew about him, and some people paid attention to him for a while. Later, he was marginalized by the Celtics. People gradually lost interest in him.

Everyone knows that Xiang Long is the third pick in the first round, and everyone knows that he averaged less than [-] points in a dozen games before the Celtics. They all think that this is probably another "parallel import", but now seeing Xiang Long's performance, The huge contrast made the fans feel unbelievable. What's going on?Suddenly broke out?

Coach Brad Stevens was not surprised at all with a smile on his face. He gestured to the court to let Xiang Long play more.

On the court, Rozier and Claude looked at each other and nodded silently. Xiang Long played really well today, and he has already hit three out of three, and he should be given more opportunities.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Meng Yun's right hand has not yet been put down, his wrist is lowered, and the movement is perfect.

Rozier's face was full of depression, and he didn't guard Meng Yun, so he shot in front of him and stopped for a jump shot. He couldn't even jump up, mainly because Meng Yun's sudden stop was too sudden.He stopped suddenly, jumped up, and the speed of the shot was also very fast. Before Rozier jumped up, the basketball flew out and made a hit.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Rozier knew that he was similar to Thomas Jr., and was also beaten by Meng Yun. How could this guy be so strong?

At this time, more than eight minutes had passed in the first quarter, and the Heat still led by 8 points.

The Celtics attacked, and Xiang Long got the ball again, but this time the Heat didn't give him a chance. Seeing Xiang Long got the ball, Meng Yun yelled: "Go up and help defend."

Xiang Long frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to pass the ball.

After more than a minute, both sides carried out personnel rotation. The Heat replaced Wade and Luol Deng, and the Celtics replaced Horford and Bradley, and replaced Olynyk and Smart.

The Celtics don’t have too many rotation players. The team rotates with 11 players, but Meng Yun is on the field. Coach Brad Stevens does not intend to let Thomas Jr., that is, a rotation of ten players. Smart and Xiang Long The relationship is not very good, always targeting Xiang Long, but coach Brad Stevens still had to replace him.

Sure enough, after Smart came up, he basically didn't pass the ball to Xiang Long. After a few rounds, Xiang Long was running with him and never touched the ball.

This is nonsense!

At this moment, Rozier passed the ball to Smart, and suddenly a figure rushed out, snatched the basketball, and then took three big strides and jumped up, holding the basketball with one hand, across Whiteside With a bang, he dunked the ball hard into the basket, and there was a loud "bang", the basket was deformed!
