Chapter 1453 Heat and Raptors, Xianglong's progress

After Meng Yun finished speaking, Embiid was already lost in thought.

Meng Yun smiled slightly, and Embiid's voice just about to leave came: "Meng Yun, why did you tell me this, you know, we were still opponents just now, if our 76ers become stronger, it will be great for you Shouldn't it be a threat for the Nets?"

Hearing this, Meng Yun smiled lightly: "Joel, we are friends, right?"

Embiid nodded immediately: "Of course."

"That's it." Meng Yundao: "I just did what a friend should do and gave you a little suggestion, which may not be able to help you."

Hearing this, Embiid's heart became hot. Just as he was about to say a few provocative words, Meng Yun added, "Besides, I don't think this will increase your strength enough to threaten us."

Embiid's face twitched and he was speechless for a while.

Having said all that should be said, Meng Yun turned around, and a word came from behind: "Thank you."

The series between the Nets and the 76ers has ended, and the Nets have successfully advanced to the second round.

However, the Nets are not the first team in the Eastern Conference to advance to the second round. The first team to advance to the second round is the Celtics. With their super luxurious lineup, they easily swept the Bulls 4:0, allowing LaVine, who finally made it to the playoffs, was very depressed.

You must know that this is the first time in LaVine's NBA career that he has entered the playoffs stage, but he was directly swept by the opponent. How can he not be depressed?

The Bulls are not only depressed by LaVine, but also by Paul.

In fact, he expected it before the start of this season. With the current lineup and overall strength of the Bulls, it is difficult to go far in the playoffs. The result verified his prediction and made him very depressed-such a Bull Does the team really have hope of hitting the championship?

If the Bulls can't hit the championship, what about their championship dream?

In addition to the Celtics, the Bucks also swept their opponents 4:0. The top two in the Eastern Conference both showed their super strength and easily advanced to the second round.

On the contrary, the Heat played a bit difficult, and they scored 3:2 with the Raptors. The Heat temporarily lead, but it is still unknown whether they can win the sixth game.

The series between the Heat and the Raptors has become the only suspense left in the Eastern Conference.

Because he was preparing for the second round of the next playoffs, Meng Yun did not go to the scene to support Xiang Long, but watched the live broadcast of the game at home with his family.

At this point the first half is over and the Heat lead by 3 points.

This point difference is really nothing, not to mention there are still two full quarters in the game.

Guo Hai suddenly said: "The Raptors are really tenacious. I thought they would be eliminated by the Heat 4:1, but they persisted until now, and even if the Heat got the match point, they played very steadily. It's not easy for the Heat to win the game."

Meng Yun said with a smile: "The Raptors are a very tenacious team. If they hadn't always encountered the Cavaliers led by James in the past few years, they might have gone further. Although they did not have Leonard this season Germany, but Siakam has grown up, plus Lowry, Gasol Jr., Ibaka, etc., the strength is actually very good."

Listening to the discussion between the two, Liu Qin didn't feel anything. She didn't know basketball and had no interest in it.

Guo Shuyao knows a little bit, and dare not say she is an expert, but at least under the influence of Meng Yun, she knows more than ordinary fans. She said: "Looking at the first half of the game, the Raptors played very calmly and made few mistakes. The Heat made more mistakes. Meng Yun, Xiang Long and the others won’t have any problems, right?”

"Don't worry." Meng Yun said with a smile: "It must be a fierce battle between the two sides. It will probably take the last few minutes to decide the winner. I believe Xiang Long will dominate the game in the last few minutes."

The reason why I say this is not because Xiang Long is his brother. Meng Yun took the time to watch the video of the previous games between the Heat and the Raptors, and found that Xiang Long is improving in almost every game. From the beginning of not adapting to gradually adapting, Then learn how to be a qualified leader in the playoffs.

After a few games, Xiang Long's progress has been obvious, which is obvious to all.

So from a certain point of view, it is a good thing for the Heat and the Raptors to play long against the Heat in this series, which can give Xiang Long more time to grow.

Now in the sixth game, Xiang Long has grown a lot. Meng Yun believes that he will stand up in the last few minutes to help the team win.

And even if it failed to do so in the end and the series dragged into the tiebreaker, Meng Yun also believed that the Heat could win the tiebreaker. After all, the Heat are stronger in terms of strength. Teams, such as the 76ers, should not be difficult to win.

It can be said that among the eight teams in the East that entered the playoffs, the only one that can pose a threat to the top four is the Raptors.

The game soon reached the fourth quarter.

Just as Meng Yun expected, this was a fierce battle. The score between the two sides has been anxious, and the score was not able to be opened, so it entered the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

This is the time for winning and losing, and for the Raptors, it is even more about life and death. If they lose, they will be eliminated directly.

So both sides are fighting hard, and the confrontation is further escalated. The Raptors mainly rely on Siakam and Lowry, and others are not enough to rely on, while the Heat mainly rely on Xiang Long and Walker.

Meng Yun's family stared at the big screen.

On the screen, Xiang Long took the ball from outside the three-point line, first made a tentative step, then suddenly accelerated his breakthrough, took a step forward, hugged the ball and rushed to the basket.

On the Raptors side, Ibaka stepped forward quickly and jumped up when he saw Xiang Long jumping up, but the referee whistled and gave Ibaka a foul.

boom!
The goal was missed, but Meng Yun showed a smile: "Xianglong's choice of this goal is very reasonable, and he played very calmly. Now you can rest assured."

At this time, because it is a critical moment, the atmosphere is tense, and every player is inevitably nervous, and whoever can keep calm enough, play efficiently enough, and hit the key goal will be the winner.

Lowry is the most stable player on the Raptors' side at this time, and Walker can also play key shots on the Heat's side, but Walker can't actually take advantage of Lowry, so the balance of victory and defeat lies with Xiang Long and Siakam , whoever plays better between the two will have a greater chance of winning.

And obviously at this time, Xiang Long was obviously more calm and composed. He didn't shoot a three-pointer, but chose the safest way-going to the free throw line.

On the opposite side, Siakam also played a single immediately, but under the defense of Xiang Long, he chose a turnaround jumper, which was not his good scoring method, but he missed it and Whiteside took the rebound.

After going back and forth, the Heat gradually took the initiative.

Lowry saw something wrong, stood up and cheated a three-point foul, walked to the free throw line and made three free throws, but Walker immediately returned one and hit a three-pointer against Lowry.

Seeing that the game time is getting less and less, the result gradually becomes clear.
