king of defenders

Chapter 995

The Heat locker room.

Everyone looked at Thomas Jr. and then Xiang Long, and they all smiled wryly. The two seemed to have no way to reconcile. The coach said not to bring personal grievances to the court, and Thomas Jr. deliberately dug a hole for Xiang Long. Courage is also big enough.

Lu Wei touched Meng Yun and whispered, "Aren't you going to do something?"

"What are you doing?" Meng Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "They are not children anymore, they should know what they are doing. Besides, if I intervene, Little Thomas will definitely feel that because Xiang Long is my friend, I always favor Xiang Long." Long. I don’t care, let them solve it by themselves, who is right and who is wrong, we can all see it, and the coach can also see it.”

Lu Wei nodded, and took another deep look at Meng Yun.

Feeling that Lu Wei's eyes were a little weird, Meng Yun touched his face subconsciously: "Why are you looking at me like this, is there something dirty on my face?"

"No." Lu Wei said: "I just suddenly felt that you suddenly became more mature."

Hearing this, Meng Yun couldn't help being taken aback, then laughed.

Intermission is over soon.

At the beginning of the second half, the starting lineup was still on the Heat's side. Whiteside, Monroe, Green, Korver, Meng Yun, and the Celtics were also on the starting lineup.

The Heat's possession of the ball, Meng Yun found that the opponent seemed to have changed their defensive strategy in the frontcourt. The person defending him was still Irving, but the Celtics' defense line was wide open.

"Aren't you afraid of my breakthrough? Owen can't prevent me from breaking through." Meng Yun raised his eyebrows, but since the opponent gave him such an opportunity, of course he couldn't let it go, and immediately changed direction. Owen moved quickly and got stuck first position, but Meng Yun suddenly stopped, and then restarted instantly, passing Owen.

As a result, the Celtics did not double-team, and no one came to help defend, and because the defense line was stretched too much, although Horford rushed over quickly, it was still a bit late, and Meng Yun had already scored a layup.

Even Coach Spoelstra was a little surprised. He looked at Coach Kidd who was not far away: "It's not that he doesn't know Meng Yun's strength, so he arranged it like this. Isn't this giving Meng Yun points?"

Although he failed to prevent Meng Yun on the defensive end, Owen immediately found it on the offensive end. He used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Meng Yun and went inside. He pulled the bar in the air and scored a layup.

In the next round, there was still no one to double-team and no one to defend Meng Yun. Meng Yun broke through again, but this time he was pulled down by a foul.

Meng Yun walked to the free throw line and steadily made the extra free throw.

After a while, Meng Yun scored 4 points, but Meng Yun frowned slightly. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Coach Kidd is not a fool. Since he arranged this way, there must be his reason.

"Could it be?" Meng Yun looked at his teammates and suddenly understood, "It turned out to be like this. Let me play singles and use fouls to destroy my rhythm. If it really doesn't work, at least it can consume my energy. Irving is the only one defending me. Others are staring at Monroe, Green, and Korver, just not letting us play more blossoms. Coach Kidd is betting on whether I can beat them alone."

This gamble is very risky, not only whether Meng Yun can beat them alone, but also whether the Celtics players can really defend against other Heat players except Meng Yun.

Not to mention preventing other players from scoring, at least limit their scoring to a relatively low level, so that it is possible to make Meng Yun's scoring an "empty cut".

Meng Yun sneered secretly, then let you see my real scoring ability.

"Pull away."

After gesturing to his teammates, Monroe and others pulled away, Meng Yun played singles, crossed continuously, swinging his shoulders back and forth, Owen retreated, lowered his center of gravity and waited for the battle.Hayward next to him looked this way, hesitant, whether to help Owen in defense, if not, Owen will probably be passed again, Meng Yun has an advantage in fighting Owen.

But before Hayward made a decision, Meng Yun suddenly retreated and made a three-pointer.

Irving tried his best to rush forward, but it still didn't work. With a "shua", the basketball was hollowed into the net, and a white wave was raised.

"Substitution." Kidd made a decisive decision, replacing Irving with Smart.

One-on-one defense against Meng Yun, Owen suffered a lot. He suffered a disadvantage in terms of height, speed, and strength.

Of course, Irving's forte has never been defense.

Smart is only 193 centimeters tall, and he is also at a disadvantage against Meng Yun, but he has a strong body and excellent strength. In addition, he has been in the second team of the best defensive team after all, and his defense is very fierce. One type, he always gives you physical confrontation, and is very fierce, making the opponent feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Smart coming to defend him, Meng Yun immediately changed his strategy. He no longer directly opened the singles, but frequently asked for pick-and-rolls, and used the pick-and-rolls to shake off Smart before making shots.

It's not because they can't beat Smart, it's just that it's more difficult to beat Smart than Irving and requires more physical energy. The opponent just wants to consume Meng Yun's physical energy, and Meng Yun certainly can't make them happy.

In addition, Meng Yun reduced the breakthrough and used more shots, so that the holding time of the ball is short and the shots are quick, which can maximize the effect of the pick-and-roll and prevent Smart from bypassing the pick-and-roll and further entanglement.

"Shh!"

There was another soft sound, and Meng Yun used the pick-and-roll to cover and hit a three-pointer.

Coach Kidd just sighed, even James can't play like this, but Meng Yun can, James' shooting is actually not his strong point, especially three-pointers, but Meng Yun's three-pointers are accurate and scary.

"A three-point shooter like Curry, but with the same physical fitness as James, this guy is simply a monster." Coach Kidd sighed and called a timeout.

In the auditorium, Heat fans were very excited.

These few minutes can be said to be Meng Yun's personal scoring performance, contributing to the Celtics' basket time and time again, scoring points like picking something out of a pocket, it is not too simple.

"Meng Yun is simply a bug, it is too strong."

"This scoring ability is really terrible. It can shoot suddenly and one-on-one. It is completely unsolvable. What do the Celtics think, they don't even double-team."

"I was completely blown away by Meng Yun alone. Irving couldn't guard against it, and Smart couldn't guard against it. But then again, no one can guard against it."

Meng Yun broke out with terrifying scoring ability today. In just a few minutes, he has already scored 16 points, almost taking all the points scored by the Heat in the past few minutes.

The key is that he is very efficient, with a hit rate of 60.00%.

This is the reason why Coach Kidd had to call a timeout. Even if the other players on the Heat team didn't score, with Meng Yun's super high efficiency, in these few minutes, one person scored more points than the entire Celtics team. more.Coach Kidd's intention was not achieved at all, and he was really defeated by Meng Yun alone.

At least, for a few minutes.
