king of defenders

Chapter 942 This Is A Kind Of Control
American Airlines Arena.

Including some players who joined temporarily and will represent the Heat in the preseason, a total of 20 people gathered here, divided into two halves, and are conducting free training.

Generally, it is shooting and the like, and there are trainers on the side to help pass the ball.

The 20 players were clearly divided into two camps. On one side were the regular rotation players of the Heat. Actually, there were not many. Including Xiang Long, there were only 11 players in total.Originally, the Heat's lineup was not full. In addition to sending away Luol Deng and Ennis, the team waived Anderson, so there were only 11 people left.

On the other side are undrafted players, development league players, and some players from other leagues.

"How do you feel?" Meng Yun flicked his wrist, threw the ball, and asked Xiang Long.

He had introduced Xiang Long to his teammates before, but except for a few people such as Wade and Whiteside, the others were not very enthusiastic.Meng Yun could also understand. After all, even Joseph Young and Salinger seemed very distant when they first met Xiang Long, and it took several days to get on good terms.

Xiang Long patted the basketball and said, "I don't feel anything."

What does it mean to feel nothing?
Meng Yun was speechless, chatting with this guy was really tiring.

Xiang Long glanced at Meng Yun, thought for a while and said, "I really don't feel anything. Now it's just training, not a competition. How can I feel?"

Meng Yun smiled wryly: "Then don't talk about people, the environment, the arena, the atmosphere, etc., you can talk about these."

Xiang Longdao: "The arena is not bad, the environment is not bad, the atmosphere is not bad, at least it's much better than when I was in the Celtics, no one explicitly targeted me."

what can I say?
Meng Yun shook his head, stopped talking, and continued training.

After some training, Spoelstra convened everyone to start confrontation training. Xiang Long did not team up with Meng Yun, because Spoelstra arranged for him to be a substitute.

Whiteside, Monroe, Green, Wade, Meng Yun, these people are in a group. If there is no accident, this is the current starting lineup of the Heat.

Nene, Salinger, Taylor, Lu Wei, and Joseph Young are in a group. As for Xiang Long and several players who are not in the official establishment, they have no chance to play for the time being.

The difference in strength between these groups is obvious. Meng Yun's group has the upper hand because the lineup is too balanced. From positions 1 to 5, they are all stronger than Lu Wei's group.

The most powerful player in Lu Wei's group is Lu Wei. Unfortunately, Lu Wei is restricted enough to face Meng Yun. It is basically difficult to succeed in singles, and he can only rely on the cover of his teammates.

So Meng Yun basically didn't make much effort, and didn't participate in the offense very much. Apart from restricting Lu Wei on the defensive end, he organized the offense, fed the ball to his teammates, and delivered it to his mouth again and again.

"Pick and roll."

I saw Meng Yun use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Lu Wei, and then took advantage of the situation to charge forward, but when he reached the free throw line, Meng Yun suddenly stopped, and Nene and Salinger subconsciously rushed forward, while Meng Yun was right-handed and single-handed. With a high arc, the basketball passed Nene and Salinger and flew straight to the basket.

This is not throwing!
A figure quickly cut in from the inside of the top of the arc, taking advantage of both Nene and Salinger pounced on Meng Yun, and no one blocked his chance to get to the inside line, then jumped up and caught the ball from Meng Yun in the air , taking advantage of the trend is an empty dunk.

"It's so easy." Whiteside landed, smiled, and showed off to Salinger who had turned around, "How about it, I am a handsome dunk, right?"

Salinger curled his lips: "The ball has been fed to the mouth, so there is nothing to brag about. You come and go like that, and you can play some tricks."

Whiteside was not angry either, he laughed, turned and ran back.

After only a few tens of seconds, Meng Yun made another second pass, this time assisting Wade. Meng Yun got the rebound in the frontcourt, then quickly advanced to the frontcourt, jumped up to meet the defender, but caught the rebound in the air. As soon as the ball was received, he made a behind-the-head pass without looking at people, and passed it to Wade who followed up. Of course, Wade would not be polite, catching the ball was a dunk.

Two consecutive beautiful assists made Lu Wei a little upset, and told his teammates face-to-face instructions to let them guard against their own people.

But this is of no use. Meng Yun's breakthrough can always easily tear through the defense of Lu Wei and others, forcing Lu Wei and others' defensive formation into chaos, giving Meng Yun an opportunity to take advantage of.

So much so that at the back, Meng Yun didn't break through at all, just the ball in his hands was enough to contain the defense of Lu Wei and others, making them move with Meng Yun, and they were often pulled to one side unconsciously , the other side, or the low position becomes empty.At this time, Meng Yun divided the ball and let his teammates play singles, which was also easy to catch.

After all, anyone on Meng Yun's side has a certain advantage in a one-on-one match with Lu Wei's side, and it is very advantageous to open the singles.

"Hehe." Rothstein laughed on the sidelines: "Meng Yun's organization is becoming more and more handy now, and I feel that he can complete the organization task well without breakthrough."

"Well." Craig also smiled: "Meng Yun's sense of space and game reading ability are getting better and better now, coupled with his already excellent passing vision, even if he doesn't break through, he can also drive his teammates well. Capturing the offensive opportunity and sending the basketball to the most appropriate position in time. This is a kind of control."

The last sentence made Coach Spoelstra couldn't help nodding. This is a kind of control.

Then Spoelstra made a substitution, replacing Meng Yun, Wade, and Whiteside successively, replacing Xiang Long, and two other players, one undrafted named Spintz, who served as a shooting guard; One is a player from the Development League named Terrence who serves as a point guard.

Lu Wei's first team also had substitutions.

"Good job." Craig patted Meng Yun's arm.

Although Meng Yun hardly took a shot in the previous few minutes, he was organizing the pass, and it was unclear whether his strength on the offensive end had increased, but at least in terms of organizing the offense, he had obviously improved compared to last season.

It can be seen that Meng Yun has not been idle this summer.

Meng Yun grinned and responded with a bright smile, then sat on the sidelines, drinking water while watching the game on the court.

Lu Wei was completely suppressed by Meng Yun before. Now that Meng Yun, Wade, and Whiteside have all come down, Lu Wei's side is a bit counterattacking. Under the leadership of Lu Wei, he played a 5: 0.

As for Meng Yun's group, there were five players on the field, Monroe, Xing Xing, Green, Spence, and Terrence. They were strangers to each other, and they were a little confused on the defensive end, giving the opponent a lot of opportunities.

However, this is not the biggest problem.

What really made Meng Yun frown was the offense. There was no tacit understanding among the offensive players. This was nothing in itself, but I don't know if it was intentional or not. Xiang Long seemed to be ignored, and the ball couldn't reach him at all.
