Chapter 786 Opening of All-Star Voting

In the dark night, a plane took off from Cleveland, bound for Chicago.

This is a chartered plane for the Heat. After the game against the Cavaliers, they had no time to recuperate. They hurriedly boarded the plane and rushed to Chicago, because tomorrow there will be a back-to-back game against the Chicago Bulls away.

Weary players sat on the plane and laughed.

This game can be said to be the most difficult game since this season. There is no doubt that the Cavaliers are strong. Even if the Heat finally defeated them, they only narrowly won by one point, and they still tried their best.

But in the end they won, they defeated the Cavaliers, the players are still very excited, in the eyes of the Heat players, this is not just a regular season, they and the Cavaliers are not just ordinary opponents, not to mention the past grievances, It is said that the two teams ranked first and second in the Eastern Conference are destined to be each other's enemies.

Whether it is the Heat or the Cavaliers, there is no suspense in entering the playoffs. Their ambitions are great. The goal is the Eastern Conference championship, and even the championship, so it must be decided.

The two teams are head-to-head.

"Okay, let's take a rest, there is still a game tomorrow." Spoelstra said with a smile.

He is also very satisfied with the performance of the players today, not only because they defeated the Cavaliers, but also because everyone on the team contributed their strength today. There will be a clearer understanding of what to do, and the team will be more cohesive.

And cohesion is the key to whether a team can go further.

Spoelstra is also ambitious, but before the playoffs, before winning the Eastern Conference championship, he will not mention the championship, because it is meaningless, it is better to be more practical.

Meng Yun leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and flashed through his mind the fragments of today's game, the fight with James, and the fight with Irving.

Suddenly, Meng Yun opened his eyes, took out his backpack, and took a small notebook to read the names on it again.

Now it's not just the name, Meng Yun also wrote a lot of words on the back of the small notebook, recording some of the gains he made from fighting against Lillard, Anthony, Irving, James and others.

There are 82 regular season games in a season, but the number of times you really have to play against a certain player is actually not much. Unless you meet in the playoffs, the teams in the East are fine. If you are in the West, you will not meet them until the finals .For example, Lillard, after a season, Meng Yun and Lillard only played against each other once or twice.

So for Meng Yun, this kind of opportunity is very rare. He will seriously summarize and record these, fearing that he will accidentally forget them.

Recording today's summary and harvest one by one, Meng Yun put away his notebook and laughed at himself: "Strictly speaking, I couldn't win against Lillard and Anthony, including Irving and James. It’s a tie, or I lost to the opponent, such as the one-on-one with Lillard, today’s match with James, I lost.”

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Meng Yun was still a little depressed at the moment. He thought he was already very strong, but compared with these superstars, he was still a bit weaker.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Yun calmed down, his eyes sparkled: "It's okay, I'm still young, were they as strong as me when they were my age? Probably not? As long as you give me time, I will surpass them sooner or later. But the coach is right, I can't just focus on improving my personal ability, I still have to balance all aspects."

Meng Yun thought a lot along the way. He had to hone his personal abilities, take the team into consideration, and improve himself in leadership and other aspects.

This is not a simple matter.

The next day, the Heat challenged the Bulls away.

The Bulls without Derrick Rose made Meng Yun feel a little regretful. Derrick Rose is a player he likes very much and can almost catch up with Allen Iverson.

Both of them are geniuses and outstanding, but unfortunately they both have some tragic colors.

Derrick Rose is gone, Jimmy Butler took over the Bulls, and the Bulls signed Rajon Rondo. Meng Yun played against them once at the beginning of the season, but now and then, now It feels different from back then.

Although only a short period of more than a month has passed, Meng Yun has undergone another transformation. Both his personal strength and vision have improved a lot. Once again, he has become more and more comfortable with Rondo.

In fact, this time Rondo is not Meng Yun's goal, his goal is Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler can also be regarded as an inspirational model. He rose from obscurity and eventually became the boss of the Bulls. His strength is beyond doubt.Meng Yun and him can be regarded as friends. They trained together at the beginning. Butler has a good relationship with James, Wade, and Paul, but his relationship with Meng Yun can only be regarded as mediocre, about the same as JR.

Meng Yun didn't face Butler directly, but the two still had a lot of opportunities to fight each other. It was difficult for Meng Yun to guard Butler, and it was also difficult for Butler to guard Meng Yun. The two played against each other for several rounds, but neither of them could. Take advantage.

However, in terms of score, the Heat fell into a disadvantage. After all, it was back-to-back. The game against the Cavaliers yesterday was too exhausting for the players, and they were not in a good state.

In the end, the game ended and the Heat lost to the Bulls 110:117.

Meng Yun scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. After all, Wade is too old and not physically fit. He played against the Cavaliers yesterday. Today, his physical fitness obviously cannot keep up, and his movements are not stable enough. He only made 13 of 4 shots Among them, there were two other free throws and only scored 11 points. Lu Wei, Johnson, and Sullinger played well on the bench. Lu Wei scored 19 points, Sullinger 14 points, and Johnson scored 10 points. Unfortunately, the Heat still lost. Gave the bull.

Butler scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

After the game, Butler took the initiative to hug Meng Yun and said with a smile: "You have become stronger again."

Meng Yun smiled and said thank you.

Looking at Meng Yun, Butler couldn't help feeling emotional, what he said was not polite, he really felt that Meng Yun had become stronger again, stronger than when they fought last time.

How long has it been since?
"A genius?" Butler was in a complicated mood.

He has worked hard step by step to get to where he is now, and he is a little bit disrespectful to those so-called geniuses, but Meng Yun's performance left him speechless.

After that, the Heat returned to the home court, and then there were several consecutive home games, so that the Heat players finally got a chance to breathe. After a few games, there were wins and losses. The good thing is that everyone can feel that the team is full of cohesion , everyone is full of energy, and the overall atmosphere of the team is very good.

At the same time, the NBA All-Star voting campaign has also quietly started
