king of defenders

Chapter 976 The Heat are stronger, and so is Meng Yun!

During the period since the start of the regular season, Xiang Long has played very well, far better than Salinger, and even comparable to Monroe.

You know, in the nine games played in the regular season, Monroe averaged 15.0 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, which is only slightly better than Xiang Long's data.This is because Monroe has more playing time than Xiang Long. If it is converted into the same playing time, Xiang Long's data may be even better.

With Xiang Long's performance, some other teams may have been put into the starting lineup.

And now he is just playing as a substitute, at most he has more playing time, but isn't this what it should be?

What's more, there is a wonderful tacit understanding between Xiang Long and Meng Yun, which is unmatched by others. It's not just because Xiang Long and Meng Yun are good friends, that's why Meng Yun treats him differently and takes care of him intentionally .On the basketball court, Meng Yun treats every teammate of the Heat team the same.

It's just that other people don't have the tacit understanding between him and Xiang Long. For example, Meng Yun sees a fleeting opportunity and wants to do what he wants to do, but his teammates can't understand, but Xiang Long only needs Meng Yun's look You can understand it.Another example is Meng Yun's air cut and reverse run. I don't know how to pass the ball to him, but Xiang Long, who is not good at passing the ball, can always send some beautiful shots to Meng Yun. assists.

Another point is that Xiang Long is still very young, he is the same age as Meng Yun, they can still play together for a long time, a few years, even ten years.

Think long term.Xiang Long should also be given more opportunities.

After the substitution, the situation on the court has improved. Facts have also proved that the inside combination of Monroe and Xiang Long is better than the previous combination of Whiteside and Monroe, at least better against the Warriors. .

The Heat soon approached the point difference again, and relied on Wade's 2+1 to overtake the score.

The Warriors requested a timeout again, and Coach Kerr rearranged his tactics. When the timeout came back, the Warriors handed the ball to Durant. Meng Yun opened his hands and stood opposite Durant.

The eyes of the two collided, as if sparks were exploding.

Durant frowned, his dribbling speed increased, and his shoulders swung more widely. His wingspan was amazing, and with his height and long legs, he could change directions very much.

This is the trick of Durant's breakthrough. Continuous cross steps with a huge arc, then suddenly accelerate, take a big step, copy the ball in his hand, and reach the inside line in two steps, facing the defender is a hit.

"This talent," Meng Yun sighed.

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, these people can be said to be very talented, James' strength, physical coordination, he is an extremely balanced complex, the opportunity has no shortcomings, so he is extremely powerful.Durant is slender and has an amazing wingspan. With his height and wingspan, he should be an inside player, but he has not developed into an inside player, and he has not been serious. This makes him have the height of an inside player, While having a long wingspan, he also possesses the agility and technique of a perimeter player.

Both James and Durant are talented and destined to become great players.

Of course, Meng Yun's talent is also outstanding. He is somewhat similar to James, but he is not as balanced as James. However, Meng Yun is worse than James in some aspects, such as his speed and his shooting.

"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun made a gesture, Xiang Long came up to pick and roll, Meng Yun moved quickly, but he couldn't get rid of Durant all at once, but Meng Yun didn't care, he just needed to open a little space.

I saw Meng Yun retreating to the side, taking a step across, further opening the distance with Durant, then jumping up, flicking his wrist, and with a "swish", he hit a three-pointer.

Durant squinted his eyes, and quickly responded. It was also a three-pointer with a step back. Meng Yun could only look at it and sigh. Durant's height ratio makes it difficult to block him.He knew this himself, so he didn't care about Meng Yun's interference at all. His shots were always steady, and he hit a three-pointer with a bang.

Why is basketball said to be an adult sport?
Part of the reason is this.

Looking at Durant who turned around and ran towards the Warriors' half court, Meng Yun had an impulse to fight Durant like this. In his small book, Durant is one of the few One of the names, and it ranks very high.To be exact, Durant is second only to LeBron James.

Facing such a player is like meeting a hard-to-find opponent. Meng Yun's heart was throbbing, but in the end he restrained himself: "I am not the same type of player as Durant, he is more inclined to I focus on scoring, while I pay equal attention to scoring and organization. He has his style, and I have my own style of play. I don’t need to blindly compete with him in scoring.”

Meng Yun took a deep breath and gave up the idea of ​​confronting Durant.

For the Heat, Meng Yun's choice is correct. What if he blindly fights Durant one-on-one, even if it is a close fight in the end, or wins?How much can you win?
Even if Meng Yun is very strong now, compared with Durant, he may not have a chance of winning, and even if he wins, he will not win too much, and it cannot decide the outcome, because the Warriors still have Curry and Thompson. "Splash Brothers".

Afterwards, Meng Yun still followed his own style of play, passed the ball when it was time to pass, and was not soft when it was time to score. Under his leadership, the Heat always cling to the score.

Until the end of the third quarter, the Heat were only 2 points behind.

"Huh, after playing for so long, the difference is only two points."

"It seems that the Heat are indeed stronger than last season, and they were able to compete with the Warriors like this. The Warriors played today is really not bad. I can only say that the Heat are stronger."

"Yes, the Heat are stronger, and Meng Yun is also stronger! I remember meeting Durant last season, he was still slightly inferior, but today his performance is not inferior to Durant."

Although Meng Yun did not blindly confront Durant, Meng Yun's performance was still eye-catching, scoring 26 points in three quarters, plus 9 assists and 6 rebounds.

And Durant has scored 29 points.

"Leading by 2 points." Coach Cole glanced at the scoreboard, he was not satisfied with the score.

The fourth quarter began quickly, and both sides sent out a rotation lineup. The two sides came and went, and no one could take advantage of it, but the Warriors quickly replaced Thompson and Green.

Here, coach Spoelstra also replaced Meng Yun and Monroe.

The two sides are always in a balanced stage, the score is anxious, and it has never been opened, and it is maintained within 5 points.

When the fourth quarter played for more than four minutes, Coach Cole called a timeout: "Iguodala, Durant, Curry, you three, play faster, understand?"

"Yes."
