Chapter 843 Heat's Determination

April 4, American Airlines Arena.

The second game of the playoffs between the Heat and the Bucks is over.

With the final score of 111:117, the Heat lost to the Bucks by six points, and the series was tied 1:1.

"we won."

"Huh, yes, we won, it was not easy."

Several Bucks players leaned together, their faces full of exhaustion.

They won this game, but it was not easy to win, and it was finally decided in the last few minutes.

Antetokounmpo wiped his sweat and said to his teammates: "Let's go, it's time to go back to Milwaukee. The next game is at our home court. It should be easier."

"Ah."

"Let's go."

Bucks players leave.

The Heat also returned to the locker room one after another.

The locker room didn't have the solemnity or oppression that others imagined. Although they lost the game, they tried their best, but luck was a bit unlucky.And the most important thing is actually the first game. The first game is actually the most difficult game when the three main players of the team are injured and the situation is unfavorable. If the first game is lost, then the subsequent games will be even more difficult to play , It is difficult to cheer up the morale of the team.

The Heat won the first game, so although they lost to the Bucks in the second game, everyone was not too discouraged. They just lost one game and won the next game.

Wade and Monroe found Spoelstra, and Wade said: "Coach, let's play next game."

"No." Spoelstra said decisively: "I won't let you go. You still need to rest and haven't fully recovered. If it was the first loss, I would still consider it, but now I won't." Let you go. You have also seen that even without you, our strength is not much inferior to the Bucks, as long as we play well enough, we can win."

After speaking, Spoelstra walked into the locker room.

Meng Yun and others stood up together and looked at Spoelstra. Spoelstra said: "We lost this game, and the series became 1:1, but I believe the next game We can win it back."

"Correct."

"We will definitely win the next game."

Everyone said.

Spoelstra smiled gratifiedly, and said: "Now I'm announcing one thing, I don't plan to let Wade and Monroe come back in this series, and the rest of the game will be left to you."

"what?"

"what?"

"This"

Everyone was stunned. Didn't they say that depending on the situation, Wade and Monroe would be allowed to come back when necessary?
Why has it changed now?
The players were a little apprehensive, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally put their eyes on Meng Yun.

Meng Yun smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured, coach."

After finishing speaking, he looked at his teammates, "Brothers, after two games, I think everyone has seen that the Bucks are nothing special, without Wade, without Monroe, without Whiteside, but we can still beat them , In fact, we have done it once. Now that we have the first time, we can have the second and the third time. As long as we are united and united, I believe we will be able to win this series."

Lu Wei, Luol Deng, Sulinger, Johnson.
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions became stern, and finally nodded in unison: "The heat will win!"

"Definitely!"

Wade and Monroe were a little helpless, but they also knew that this was the best result. They have not fully recovered. If they wait for the second round of the series to come back, they will be in better condition and the risk will be smaller.

Spoelstra is very satisfied. The reason why he did this is to strengthen the determination of the players in addition to not wanting Wade and Monroe to come back prematurely.

Meng Yun and the others played very well in these two games, but they may not be able to continue this state forever, because Wade and Monroe can come back early, maybe the players will be lucky and feel that there is no need to treat every game as a To play the last game, we only need to win one or two games to extend the series as long as possible, and we can win this series when Wade and Monroe come back.

Spoelstra doesn't want this. He doesn't want this series to be too long, so there will be many variables.

If possible, he hopes to end this series within 6 games, so he simply cut off the players' thoughts and told them directly that you will not have reinforcements and you can only rely on yourself.

Only with such a determination, can they go forward to fight bravely!

The next day, the Heat headed to Milwaukee for Game [-] of the series.

Feige Arena.

This is the home arena of the Bucks. The auditorium was crowded with people. Most of them were Bucks fans. Only a few were Heat fans. The crowded crowd seemed sparse.

Players from both sides played, and when the Heat players came out, there was a huge booing in the auditorium. The boos were like thunder, resounding through the arena, deafening.

The Bucks fans are roaring and roaring, and they want to tell the Heat players in this way that this is the home court of the Bucks and this is their territory.

"Oh, the atmosphere is quite lively." Joseph Young sneered.

"Okay." Meng Yun slapped him, "Go up and warm up, where is there so much nonsense, if you have the ability to speak with your strength when you are on the court, if you are awesome, use your actions to shut them up."

I.
Joseph Young suddenly froze, he knew how much he weighed, but he quickly regained his energy, licking his face and smiling: "I can't do it, but you can do it, boss."

Meng Yun didn't speak, but slapped him again.

Now Joseph Young is being honest, and obediently goes on the court to warm up.

After some warm-up, the game is about to start.

"Nene, Salinger, Luol Deng, Johnson, Meng Yun." Spoelstra began to point: "You still start, you need to run more, defend actively, and shoot quickly." After finishing speaking , He spread out the tactical board and began to arrange tactics, which were basically the same as the previous two games, but slightly changed.

After the end of the first series, Spoelstra was anxious for several assistant coaches, made a tactical analysis of the game, asked some questions, and made some adjustments to his own tactics.

For example, there is no need for Meng Yun to defend the No. 3 position all the time, but only part of the time to defend the No. 3 position.

To be precise, Meng Yun defended the No. 3 position when Antetokounmpo was on the court and the Bucks could pose a threat to the Heat. If Antetokounmpo was not there, the Bucks' other inside players might not be able to occupy the position How much cheaper.And if the Bucks do not have enough threats from the outside, such as Dragic and Brogdon not playing at the same time, the Heat can completely make up for the lack of inside by shrinking the defense. There is no need to use "unlimited defense", Meng Yun also There is no need to guard against the 3rd position.

These can also save Meng Yun some energy consumption.
