king of defenders

Chapter 974

"ball."

Monroe asked for the ball in the low post and was about to play singles. As soon as he got the ball, he was surrounded by two people. Green was close to him, and Durant also moved closer.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Monroe had no choice but to give up his singles plan and pass the ball out.

It was the same for the next few times. Monroe tried a few times, but only once did he really form a single, and he still couldn't score. Every time, the ball could only be given to the outside.The outside line got a chance because of Monroe's containment. Meng Yun hit a long two-pointer, Green hit a corner three-pointer, but the Warriors' outside score was even more terrifying. Durant made a three-pointer and a mid-range shot. A three-pointer shot off the defender with the cover of his teammates.

Compared with outside scoring ability, the Heat are still a bit worse after all. After all, the Warriors have too many outside scoring points, not counting Green. Curry, Durant, and Thompson alone are enough to carry the Warriors' offensive banner .

On the Heat's side, Meng Yun's scoring is almost on par with Durant, but the combination of Wade and Green is not as good as the splash brothers Curry and Thompson.

After a few minutes, the Heat trailed by 6 points.

Coach Spoelstra called a timeout, frowning.

"Whoa, whoa!" Wade came to the bench and sat down, gasping for breath, with a gloomy face. His age is like a butcher's knife. Although he is in his 30s, he can score more than [-] points in a game, but with physical fitness Going down and letting him and players like Curry and Thompson chase after him is too much consumption for him.

Looking at Wade, who was sweating profusely and gasping for breath, Meng Yun suddenly thought of Luol Deng, and remembered last season's finals, Wade and Luol Deng were like this, sweating profusely, panting heavily, His face was tired.

They are veterans after all.

"The reason why we lost last season is that the age of the players is also a problem." Meng Yun sighed secretly, "Wade and Luol Deng's physical fitness is not as strong as that of young players, and the Warriors are the kind of team that is particularly good at taking rhythm and can A team that brings the pace of the game very fast. Playing against such a team, running back and forth, running non-stop, consumes too much for Wade and Luol Deng. Under the condition of huge physical consumption, they status is difficult to guarantee.”

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Even without this point, it would be difficult for the Heat to beat the Warriors. Most of the finals last season would still be lost.

Even now, in terms of lineup and overall strength, the Heat are still inferior to the Warriors.

Meng Yun took a deep breath, and his eyes became sharper: "There are some gaps in the lineup and overall strength, but as long as there is a slight chance of defeating the Warriors, we should work hard when we come back."

Come on, keep fighting!
Pause ends.

The Warriors replaced Pachulia with McGee.

The Heat replaced Whiteside and Wade with Xiang Long and Lu Wei.

Before going on the field, Coach Spoelstra stopped a few people and said, "Monroe and Xiang Long, both of you have the ability to attack independently, and you can cooperate more with internal passes. It’s impossible to help defend the two of you at the same time. Lu Wei, you and Curry are facing each other. Follow Curry as much as possible to prevent him from shooting three-pointers. It doesn’t matter if he breaks through. There are Monroe and Xiang Long inside. Yes, you have to score me."

"Ah."

"clear."

The two understand.

Although there were Whiteside and Monroe on the inside, Whiteside did not have the ability to play singles with the ball. He had to rely on his teammates to feed the cake and grab rebounds for a second offense.In fact, only Monroe is playing in the low post alone, so the Warriors are much easier to defend. By moving quickly and putting the outside line, Whiteside and Monroe can't play inside.

Now that Xiang Long is replaced, it is equivalent to having one more player who can hold the ball in the low post. It will not be so easy for the Warriors to limit the performance of the Heat inside.

As for the replacement of Lu Wei, it is because of Wade's physical consumption.

Watching Meng Yun and the others walk onto the court, Craig was still a little worried: "There are Meng Yun, Lu Wei, and Green on the outside, and Xiang Long and Monroe on the inside. This combination is more reasonable for the Warriors, but this lineup is not enough. Mature. The cooperation between Xiang Long and Monroe, the distribution of ball rights between Lu Wei and Meng Yun, these are all problems."

"Yes." Rostern nodded, "Compared with the opponent, our lineup is not mature enough, so I don't know if it will work."

"We'll find out later." Coach Spoelstra said, and the two shut up immediately.

In fact, coach Spoelstra is also not sure, but the Warriors are too difficult to deal with, and he can't think of other ways except for this formation.

On the field, the game continues.

Meng Yun held the ball and advanced to the front court. The person in front of him was still Thompson. He looked at Meng Yun calmly, opened his hands, and stared at Meng Yun's shoulder.

Looking at Thompson, Meng Yun suddenly remembered Leonard and Butler. He hadn't noticed it before. When they were defending, the temperament of the three seemed to be somewhat similar.

It's all meticulous.

Meng Yun gave Xiang Long a look and moved to the right. Xiang Long was stuck in a low position. After Meng Yun pulled the man away, he passed the ball to Xiang Long. Xiang Long took the ball and played with his back.

"Do you still want to play inside?" Green sneered, "Didn't you remember a few minutes ago? You still have to play like this, you are really stubborn." He motioned his teammates to come over to help defend.

Other players of the Warriors also thought that Xiang Long was really going to play back-to-back singles. After all, this should be the established strategy of the Heat.

But at this moment, Xiang Long suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball. The Warriors players froze for a moment, and saw a figure flash, and a figure skipped, just walking on the route of Xiang Long's pass, and grabbed the ball , taking advantage of the trend is a two-handed dunk, and the big 0 on the jersey makes people dizzy.

"Meng Yun!"

People exclaimed and stared at the man with the frame hanging on his hands.

No one expected that Xiang Long would pass the ball suddenly, let alone that he and Meng Yun would cooperate so tacitly, pretending to be singles, hitting the ground to pass the ball, and making a reverse cut. Everything was completed in an instant, but it seemed seamless.

"nice shot."

"pretty."

The Heat's bench cheered again and again. Coach Spoelstra froze for a moment, and then laughed. Although this was not a tactic he arranged, it was indeed very beautiful.

Green was stunned, and he was wrong in his judgment.

"The pass was just right." Meng Yun turned around, ran towards Xiang Long, clapped hands with Xiang Long, and said, "I'll give it to you later, you continue to play singles."

Xiang Long raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Yun.

Meng Yun blinked: "This time it's true, don't pass it on, I won't make an empty cut, and the other party probably won't give me this chance again."

Xiang Long nodded, as a response, and made Meng Yun feel tired, why can't you say "yes"?I don’t know how your former teammates cooperated with you, that’s me, who knows if you understand or not if you change someone else?
