king of defenders

Chapter 920 Drag into Overtime
Golden State, USA.

In the Oracle Arena, the second half of the game has already begun.

In the first half, the Warriors have been suppressed and the score has been falling behind. Although the lag is not too much, it is not a good thing after all.So in the second half, the Warriors began to try to counterattack.

Durant is still in the lead. Facing the Heat's defense is singles, he is in a good state today, with a good outside touch. After consecutive crossovers, he directly pulls up a three-pointer. The basketball hits the net and the score is approaching.

Turning around, Meng Yun responded, and immediately made a strong breakthrough. After passing Green, he rushed to the inside, jumped up to meet the defender, and paused in the air. Not only did he score, but he also caused a foul by the defender.When the extra penalty hit and it was 2+1, Meng Yun successfully erased Durant's three-pointer just now, and the point difference was still 5 points.

Afterwards, the two sides came and went, but the score did not rise very fast, because both sides strengthened their defenses and defended fiercely, and even used fouls to hinder one side's offense in the way of "exchange".

The result of this is that the rhythm of the game is interrupted again and again, and the shooting percentages of both sides are declining. On the contrary, going to the free throw line to score free throws has become the most important way of scoring.

"beep"

Coach Kerr called a timeout.

This kind of game rhythm is not what the Warriors like. They like a fast pace.

"Remember, speed up the tempo." Coach Cole spread out the tactical board and repeatedly emphasized: "You must speed up the tempo, and be firm in your shots. It doesn't matter if you can't make a shot. Bring the tempo first."

Heat here.

Spoelstra was also making arrangements, his eyes swept over the players, and he nodded secretly. Everyone's eyes were firm, and the fighting spirit was always hot. He spread out the tactical board, and while drawing, he said: "Set the rhythm Press down, play positional warfare, and defend the opponent's outside shots. Whiteside, Monroe, you must strengthen the inside offense."

"Yes."

"Ah."

Whiteside and Monroe responded one after another, with serious faces.

It is well known that the Warriors are not strong enough inside. If the Cavaliers encounter it, they will definitely target this.The Heat also tried to pinpoint this, but the effect was not good, mainly due to the executor. Whiteside lacked the low-post singles ability, and mainly relied on his teammates to feed the cake and the second attack, while Monroe himself had the low-post singles ability. But it didn't work out.The Warriors' lineup has strong mobility and fast defense, which keeps Monroe always at a loss.

But even so, Spoelstra still emphasized this point. It is too difficult to beat the Warriors by outside shooting and counter attack.

Even Meng Yun scored 22 points at halftime.

The pause ends soon.

The game continued. Both sides wanted to control the rhythm of the game, but they failed. The Warriors failed to speed up the pace, and the Heat failed to kill each other inside.About two-thirds of the way through the third quarter, the Warriors overtook the score. Fortunately, Lu Wei played very well in the last third, leading the bench to overtake the score again and leading until the third quarter. Finish.

But even so, the situation is still not optimistic, because the point difference is not big, and the Heat only lead by 4 points at the end of the third quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Warriors played a wave of offensive climax, overtook the score all at once, and widened the point difference. The Heat immediately made a substitution and replaced Meng Yun, which stabilized the situation, but the score It has already been overtaken, but it is not so easy to overtake and come back.

Until halfway through the fourth quarter, the Heat were still behind.

Spoelstra asked for a timeout, and the players returned to the sidelines. Meng Yun wiped off his sweat with a towel, just panting for breath.

In more than three quarters, Meng Yun scored 34 points alone, including 22 points in the first half and 12 points in the second half. Whenever it was critical, he always stood up to stabilize the situation and use his personal ability to solve problems.

Therefore, his physical energy consumption is very large, much higher than other players.

Sitting next to Meng Yun, Wade suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Meng Yun turned his head, not knowing why.

Wade said: "I can't help much. When the team is behind, when the opponent is chasing points frantically, you are always facing it alone."

Meng Yun shook his head and said, "Dwayne, you don't need to say sorry to me, or to anyone. You haven't done anything wrong. In fact, you've done enough. Fighting for rebounds among the inside players, trying to get injured and throwing himself into the air to try to make fouls, and falling to the ground to save the ball time and time again. You have given everything, and no one has the right to criticize you.”

"But."

"Devine." Meng Yun said again: "We have worked hard and tried our best. If we still lose in the end, there may still be regrets and unwillingness, but at least we will not regret it."

Wade was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently.

He looked at Meng Yun who had already got up and walked to the court, and suddenly felt that Meng Yun's back was a little lonely. This young man he saw growing up step by step and improving at a rapid pace, when his strength became stronger and stronger, he seemed to be more lonely on the contrary. up.

In just two years, there are some magic of time, but also cruelty of time!
The time of the game is passing, and the scores of the two sides are still anxious. Even in the last minute, the winner cannot be determined. In the last ten seconds, the Heat trailed by 1 points. Meng Yun made the last attack and walked above the three-point line. But the opponent was very close, and even the double-teamer had rushed over. Meng Yun didn't hesitate anymore, and pulled out directly. He leaned back and almost flew out of bounds. The basketball flew out of his fingertips and turned into a spinning ball. Phantom, with a final "swish", pierced the Nets.

The score was 117:117, and the game entered overtime.

This desperate three-pointer made the Heat fans excited. At the last moment, some people were even desperate, but Meng Yun brought the suspense of the game back with an unreasonable three-pointer.

Even the Warriors fans were stunned for a while, there was no boos, no abuse, they just sat on the bench silently, and then waited for the start of overtime.

"tick, tick"

Sweat dripped down Meng Yun's chin. Meng Yun was panting heavily while sitting on the bench. The panting sound was heard by Nene, who was sitting across the seat. He turned to look at Meng Yun worriedly.

Sensing the sight, Meng Yun turned his head and grinned at Nene.

Nene froze for a moment, then couldn't help but feel shocked, and secretly sighed, no wonder Meng Yun was able to grow to where he is today in just two seasons. Facing such a situation, although he looked very tired, he didn't look tired. Nervous, not many people can do this, at least Nene asks himself that he can't do it.
