Chapter 953 The Competition Is Not Alone

Because they lost to the Heat by more than ten points in the first half, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer wanted to chase some points in the third quarter, so he sent the main players and told the players to play more seriously.

So the Eagles' offense has obviously become much more rigorous.

At this time, the Hawks' lineup was center Dewayne Dedmon, power forward Ersan Ilyasova, small forward Tauren Prince, shooting guard Marco Belinelli, point guard Dennis Shi Rhodes.

Schroeder held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing Meng Yun coming forward, he couldn't help but feel a sinking heart. Every time he played against Meng Yun, he felt very uncomfortable, and his advantage was completely restrained.

One-on-one is a bit difficult, Schroeder gestured to his teammates, Dedmon came up to pick and roll, Schroeder took the opportunity to shake off Meng Yun, attracted Monroe to step forward to delay, and then passed the ball to Belinelli.Belinelli took the ball and swayed it. Wade was not fooled. He accelerated his breakthrough, but it was just a bluff. Then he split the ball and gave it to Ilyasova who was outside the three-point line.Although Ilyasova played the 4th position, he had a pretty good three-pointer. After receiving the ball, he made a three-pointer directly.

Swish!
Also enter.

The two sides exchanged a three-pointer, and the Hawks coach nodded secretly.

But soon the Heat responded with color. Meng Yun quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Before the Eagles settled down on the defensive position, he changed direction and accelerated to the inside, and then sent the ball outside again. This time it was Wei Germany.

Wade received the ball and also made a three-pointer.

Swish!
Enter again!

In the auditorium, Heat fans cheered.

On the sidelines, Xiang Long frowned, still confused, confused why he had to pass the ball, and also confused why Meng Yun had to pass the ball in the two offenses?

With Meng Yun's ability, these two breakthroughs can actually be made by himself. Xiang Long feels that Meng Yun can score in nine out of ten.

What if the ball comes out and the teammates fail to make it?

If you have a chance, why don't you come by yourself?
However, Meng Yun did not do this, and his teammates made both of these two points.

If Meng Yun chooses to shoot by himself, even if he scores both times, he will only get 4 points; and if he chooses to split the ball, his teammates will hit two three-pointers, which is 6 points.

"Shouldn't it be like Meng Yun?" Xiang Long hesitated, then shook his head, "It can't be calculated that way, Meng Yun is definitely more sure of making a shot than others. So it is very likely that the result will not be like this time, and it is very likely that the two passes Teammates only score one, or maybe even none, and get 3 points, or 0 points. But Meng Yun is more sure, there is a 4% to [-]% chance to score both times, and get [-] points steadily. Calculated in this way , it’s better to do it yourself.”

"But why didn't Meng Yun do this?"

Calculating these is only a theory after all, but the fact is that Meng Yun chose to split the ball twice. Xiang Long doesn't think Meng Yun didn't think of this, so why did he do it?
This is the most confusing point for Xiang Long.

Not far away, Coach Spoelstra didn't look at the court, but his eyes fell on Xiang Long. Seeing Xiang Long frowning, with a tangled and confused look on his face, he nodded, looked away, and put it on the court. He said to himself: "So that's it. I'm going to find a chance to talk to Xiang Long about this issue. It seems that I don't need it."

Others may not understand, but Coach Spoelstra knows that Meng Yun must have discovered the problem with Xiang Long, so he consciously used actions to tell Xiang Long that you should trust your teammates on the court.

The game continues.

Meng Yun also didn't take many shots, but his breakthrough was extremely sharp, tearing apart the Eagles' defense time and time again, disrupting the Eagles' arrangement time and time again, forcing the Eagles' defense into a mess, and then Meng Yun would send the ball to the final The right position, where the teammates will wait, give the Eagles a hard blow.

During this process, of course, some made and some missed shots, but in general, the Heat shot well, with a hit rate close to [-]%.

You know, in the nba game, this is already a very high hit rate.

Under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Heat further expanded the point difference. After a few minutes, the Heat had already led the Eagles by more than [-] points.

"beep"

The Eagles requested a timeout. Coach Mike Budenholzer knew that the general situation was over and the game was meaningless, so he simply replaced the main players and replaced them with substitute players.

On the Heat's side, Spoelstra also replaced Meng Yun, Wade and others one after another, and replaced them with substitute players. He glanced at Xiang Long and saw that Xiang Long was still frowning. Xiang Long was not allowed to go up.

Meng Yun sat down beside Xiang Long, took the towel and wiped off his sweat, and said with a smile: "Why, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Xiang Long shook his head and said: "I don't understand, with so many opportunities, why don't you shoot yourself. I don't believe you can't score. Since you can score, why do you still pass the ball?"

"Why didn't you pass the ball?" Meng Yun pointed to the scoreboard, "I chose to pass the ball, I chose to trust my teammates, and then we led by more than [-] points."

"If you play by yourself, you will lead by more than [-] points." Xiang Long said.

Meng Yun solemnly shook his head and said, "Maybe, maybe not. Xiang Long, has anyone told you that the competition is for five people, not just one person."

Xiang Long's expression changed.

Meng Yun knew at a glance that someone must have said it, maybe a certain coach, but he didn't ask, and continued what he said just now: "We have five players on the field, maybe I am better than others, and I can get more. but I can't do all the scoring. And do you want to do it? If I always do it alone, how will my teammates feel? They can only run back and forth, but they don't have a chance to shoot. Will they feel so helpless? Meaning? After one, two, more times, will they think I can't pass the ball anyway, why should they be ready to catch and shoot? Then when I have to pass, they are not ready I was preparing, I had to make a hasty shot, and I didn’t make the shot in the end, is it their fault or me?”

"For example, in the playoffs, I will be heavily defended by the opponent, and my physical energy will be consumed even more. So when my physical fitness declines, when I can shoot by myself and my teammates are in good positions, should I shoot by myself or pass? To your teammates? Can you really guarantee that under such circumstances, you will be more confident in shooting than your teammates?"

Seeing that Xiang Long's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Meng Yun stopped and said no more.

These principles are actually very simple, and everyone understands them, but doing them is another matter, and it doesn't even make a difference because of how many years you have played or whether you are an NBA player.

There is no shortage of such people among nba players. In the eyes of others, it is often said that this player does not choose shots well, or that he has no overall view and plays too independently.

Even Kobe was once criticized for playing too independently.

The reason why Xiang Long is like this is not that no one has told him this, but that he has a withdrawn personality and has always had a bad relationship with his teammates, and was even rejected by his teammates. His teammates don't trust him, and he doesn't trust his teammates either. A person who is used to relying on himself is just because he is used to it!
