king of defenders

Chapter 860 The first round of the playoffs is over

Coast Villa.

Meng Yun was sitting on the sofa, next to Wade and a group of teammates.

After the first round of the game, the Heat players could finally relax. Some people proposed to visit Meng Yun's house, because they hadn't been to Meng Yun's house yet.

Meng Yun agreed, so there was the current scene. Everyone was sitting on the sofa, and Joseph Yang was sent out to get takeaway. It's not that no one knows how to cook, but no one wants to cook.

The rest of the people were staring at the TV, which was showing the Celtics and Wizards game in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

In the east, the Cavaliers defeated the Pacers 4:0, the Raptors defeated the Eagles 4:2, and the Heat defeated the Bucks 4:2, leaving only the Celtics and Wizards. Only five games have been played, and today is the sixth game, but because of the schedule, they are ranked behind other teams.

Halfway through the game, the Celtics temporarily lead by 6 points, but Wade is not optimistic about the Celtics, saying: "Although the Celtics are leading, they are not leading by many. Look, they have a lot of problems. Although the defense is fierce, the cooperation between the players is not tacit enough, and the offensive choices are not rational. I made my own shot, but it was blocked, and the opponent turned it into a counterattack. There was also Rozier's attack, too many dribbles, and the offensive intention was too obvious."

When Wade said this, many people nodded.

Meng Yun looked at Xiang Long who was running on the TV screen, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiang Long has proved his strength and potential, and his position in the team has also been stabilized, but the relationship with his teammates has not improved yet. ...Obviously Smart and Isaiah Jr. are repelling Xiang Long, not passing him very much, even if he is in a good position."

If Xiang Long is a defensive insider and doesn't have much scoring ability, then that's fine.

Ke Xianglong himself is an all-round insider with low footwork, shooting ability, and can attack with the ball by himself, but now he just can't get the ball, which is completely wasted.

It can be seen that Coach Stevens has an ugly face, even though the Celtics are leading now, he is reprimanding Thomas Jr., Smart and others.

But looking at it like that, the effect may not be good.

"Isn't this the first time that Coach Stevens reprimanded them?" Meng Yun shook his head, "It seems that it doesn't work. Xiang Long, why can't he get along well with him?"

Meng Yun forgot, but he told Xiang Long that there was no need to compromise.

The second half of the game has begun.

This game is just a fun for the Heat players. Whether the Wizards win or the Celtics, it has little to do with them, because the winner of the two teams will play against the Cavaliers in the second round. In terms of the strength of the Cavaliers, whether it is against the Wizards or the Celtics, most of them can win.

But everyone still watched it with gusto, talking non-stop.

"I hope the Celtics can win." Meng Yun didn't express any opinions, but just focused on the game.

The game in the second half became more intense, and the Wizards launched a counterattack. Under the leadership of Wall and Bill, the Wizards successfully overtook the score and gradually widened the point difference.

The Celtics were in trouble, but what is surprising is that when the team was in trouble, the players were not united, but infighting.

"This team is still too young." Luol Deng commented: "The players are under a lot of pressure at this time, but they shouldn't blame their teammates."

Thomas Jr. played well today and has already scored 24 points. He is now the Celtics' top scorer and the core of the team, but he is now blaming Xiang Long.

Xiang Long didn't say a word, but his eyes were a little cold.

"As the core of the team, instead of comforting and encouraging teammates when the team encountered difficulties, they blamed teammates instead." Meng Yun's face darkened, "What kind of core is this?"

Wade also said: "Thomas Jr. is not a qualified leader after all."

Everyone nodded.

The Celtics played more and more chaoticly in the following games. Thomas was eager to chase points, or he was eager to prove himself. He played consecutive singles, but was restricted by others, and he wasted a lot of opportunities.

I only saw that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and the game time is getting less and less.

"The Celtics are done."

"The Cavaliers' next opponent will be the Wizards."

"The Wizards are still very strong. They have Wall and Beal on the outside, and Gortat and Morris on the inside. The inside and outside are relatively balanced. I hope they can cause some trouble for the Cavaliers."

Everyone laughed and talked, if they could see that the Cavaliers were unhappy, they would feel very happy.

It's a pity that with the strength of the Wizards, most of them are not the opponents of the Cavaliers. As far as James is concerned, they can't handle it. There is no one who can match him.

So if the Heat make it past the second round, they will probably still face the Cavaliers in the end.

Meng Yun watched TV.

Xiang Long sat on the bench, looking a little lonely.

Meng Yun can only sigh, Xiang Long's personality is a big problem, it seems that it is difficult to get along with his teammates in that team, even in Valencia, it seems that he has a good relationship with his teammates, but in fact it is only on the surface , To be honest, no one in Valencia is Xiang Long's friend, but Valencia needs Xiang Long, and those players also need Xiang Long.

But in the Celtics, in the NBA, with Xiang Long's current strength, it is impossible to enjoy the treatment in Valencia.

"The Celtics lost. Someone must be responsible. I don't know who it will be?" Meng Yun was a little worried about Xiang Long. The situation was actually favorable for the Celtics, but they lost in the end.

This must be held accountable. If Coach Stevens is not responsible, it can only be the players. Some people may be traded, but I don't know if it will be Xiang Long.

With Xiang Long's character, he definitely doesn't want to refute anything.

So Meng Yun was a little worried about him, everyone likes to bully honest people, maybe Xiang Long will be the one to take the blame in the end.

But from another perspective, it would be nice if Xiang Long could leave the Celtics. Anyway, he was not happy with the Celtics, and it might be better to change to another place.

Of course, Meng Yun couldn't interfere in these matters.

Before the game between the Celtics and the Wizards, the first round of the East and West playoffs had all been decided. After the Wizards defeated the Celtics, the list of teams from the East and West to advance to the second round was officially released.

In the east, the Cavaliers, Heat, Raptors, and Wizards advanced, while in the west, the Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and Jazz advanced. The Celtics advanced to the fifth position in the East, and the Jazz defeated the Clippers in the West to advance to the fifth position in the West.

As a result, the second round of the playoffs is also released.

Cavaliers vs Wizards, Heat vs Raptors, Warriors vs Jazz, Spurs vs Rockets.
