king of defenders

Chapter 855
Coach Spoelstra also had a headache and had to call a timeout.

After Whiteside and Monroe were injured, only Nene, Sullinger, and Anderson were left. In fact, there were only two really useful ones, namely Nene and Sullinger. Now Sullinger was sent off. , and one less insider.

Everyone is looking at Spoelstra, do you want to replace Anderson?
"Luol Deng, you go." Spoelstra said secretly. In the current situation, sending Anderson up does not make much sense, and it cannot change the problem of weakness inside, because Sullinger's role is mainly reflected in offense. Anderson has no offense, he only has defense, and there is no way to replace Sullinger's role.

So instead of that, it's better to play a small lineup.

Then Spoelstra replaced Johnson and Lu Wei, and the lineup became Nene, Luol Deng, Green, Lu Wei, and Meng Yun.

Seeing the lineup of the Heat, Kidd had a smile on his lips: "Now they only have one Nene left inside. Is this going to learn from the Warriors and play a smaller lineup? It's a pity that you are not the Warriors." Turn around He gestured to the Bucks players who had just come on the court, signaling to play more inside.

In fact, there is no need for Kidd to remind him. Antetokounmpo's eyes began to glow when he saw the Heat's lineup. He knew that his opportunity had come.

Meng Yun went to the free throw line and made two free throws. The Heat players quickly returned to their own half. Gordon, Dragic.

But when Dragic came to the front court to take a look, he couldn't help being taken aback. It's not surprising that Meng Yun didn't defend him, but who was Meng Yun defending?
That's Antetokounmpo.

"Are you kidding me?" Dragic was stunned, and then laughed, "Heh, Meng is going to defend the fourth position. His defensive ability is very good, but he can't take advantage of Antetokounmpo."

If Meng Yun is to help defend Antetokounmpo, Dragic thinks it is still reliable. It happened in the past few games, and the effect is not bad.

But let Meng Yun defend Antetokounmpo alone, which is a bit difficult for a strong man.

You know, Meng Yun is playing the No. 1 position!

Seeing that it was Meng Yun who came to defend him, Antetokounmpo was also happy, and immediately raised his hand in the low post to ask for the ball. Dragic did not hesitate and passed the ball immediately. After taking the ball, Antetokounmpo leaned against his back Meng Yun began to play singles, the muscles on his arms swelled up, his back exerted force, and he pushed back a step. He couldn't help frowning. Meng Yun's strength exceeded his expectations. He didn't understand that Meng Yun didn't seem to be strong. How could the body have such a strong force? Just now, when I picked it up, it felt like hitting a rock.

Fortunately, Meng Yun was promoted. Although he was surprised by Meng Yun's confrontation ability, Antetokounmpo knew that his strength was still stronger than Meng Yun's, even if not much, but he still had the advantages of height and wingspan, which was enough .

When the others pulled away, Antetokounmpo continued to play back singles, pushed Meng Yun back two steps, and was almost at the basket. He immediately turned halfway around, resisted Meng Yun, and then jumped up to prepare for a layup.

"Be careful."

Exclamations came.

At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out, and before Antetokounmpo could react, he slapped the basketball and sent it flying.

Luol Deng put the basketball in his arms and passed it to Lu Wei, and the Heat quickly launched a counterattack.

Antetokounmpo was still in place, a little dazed, he was blocked by Meng Yun, and he was still in this one-on-one singles situation.

"Shh!"

A soft sound awakened Antetokounmpo, and saw the Nets swaying in front of him. Meng Yun stood outside the three-point line, his right hand was raised, and his wrist drooped like a swan's neck.

This is a counter-attack three-pointer from Meng Yun.

"Careless." Antetokounmpo recalled the block just now, and found that he was too careless. He underestimated Meng Yun, thinking that he must be fine in low post singles. After all, he has the advantages of height and strength. His only worry is The Heat assisted in the defense, but they forgot Meng Yun's amazing bounce.

Slam dunk contest champion, free throw line takeoff dunk, how good is Meng Yun's bounce?
In short, it is definitely the top of the NBA.

Even if Meng Yun is a few centimeters shorter than him, his amazing bounce is enough to make up for this gap. It is not surprising that Antetokounmpo was blocked carelessly.

"It even blocked Giannis and made a counter-attack three-pointer."

"It's just a ball"

Fans are discussing, the Bucks are attacking, Meng Yun is still defending the 4th position, defending Antetokounmpo alone, Antetokounmpo's face is gloomy, and he plays low singles again, he must fight back.

However, this time, just two steps back, the Heat's help defense came over, which made Antetokounmpo very depressed. He wanted to fight back, but he had no chance.

This feeling is too stifling.

"You don't really think that I will always defend you alone?" Meng Yun smiled.

Not to mention whether Meng Yun can defend Antetokounmpo one-on-one, even Spoelstra would not arrange it this way, because it would consume too much of Meng Yun's physical energy, and he still needs to rely on Meng Yun on the offensive end. It's not cost-effective to use him as a defensive player, even if he can prevent Antetokounmpo to death.

Is Antetokounmpo's scoring ability as strong as Meng Yunqiang?
Of course there is not, so Spoelstra will not trade Meng Yun for Antetokounmpo. Meng Yunfang's 4th position is only because there is no one at the 4th position, and Meng Yun is not short. He is 205 centimeters tall, and his physical fitness is good enough, so let him come, but instead of letting Meng Yun defend alone, there is still a co-defense.

In fact, if Antetokounmpo's attack just now hadn't been for Meng Yun gesturing to his teammates not to come up to help defend, his teammates would have come up long ago.

Kidd frowned. He didn't expect Spoelstra to let Meng Yunfang take the 4th position, but he quickly responded: "We still play inside, we must maintain the threat inside, and consume Meng as much as possible. Take more shots, attract defense inside, and attack decisively outside."

Whether Meng Yun is defending inside or outside, his threat exists. Now he defends the 4th position, which is a misplacement in itself, which can just make Antetokounmpo consume Meng Yun, and without Meng Yun outside, Dragic, Brogdon can be a lot easier, and they will get more opportunities.

A few minutes passed quickly, and more than half of the fourth quarter had passed.

With a score of 100:96, the Bucks still lead.

"Although Meng Yunding was put on the 4th position, he defended Antetokounmpo well, but he couldn't take care of the outside line." Spoelstra sighed secretly, "There are only more than two minutes left in the game. We're four points behind and the odds are still against us." He shook his head and called a timeout.
