king of defenders

Chapter 1459 The overall gap, falling into a disadvantage

Originally, the head coach of the Bucks wanted to restrain Meng Yun. As long as Meng Yun could be restrained, the other players of the Nets would have nothing to worry about. Winning the game would be appropriate.

Even the next few games can follow this way, and finally beat the Nets and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

But more than one quarter of probing let him know that this idea is a bit naive. Players who have reached the level of Meng Yun are not so easy to restrict. Look at the Cavaliers, Irving left, Love was injured, James led the team alone, and there was nothing good around him. Helpers, fools know that as long as James is restrained, the Cavaliers can be solved.

However, in the end, no one succeeded. On the contrary, it made James a success, allowing James to play an amazing playoffs.

At this moment, the head coach of the Bucks also understood that the method of restricting Meng Yun will not work. He has tried the whole method of defending against shots, making breakthroughs, and keeping people inside to supplement the defense. He has also tried double-teaming, but it is useless. Unknowingly let the Nets lead by as much as [-]%.

So he resolutely gave up this method. Since Meng Yun could not be restricted, he should start with other players and restrict other players of the Nets. Unless Meng Yun can defeat them with his own strength like James, otherwise the Nets will be defeated in the end. The team still loses.

Of course, in order to avoid such a contingency, he also told his players to play well on offense.

After all, with the Bucks' lineup, they have an advantage on the offensive end, especially the Nets are weak inside, which gave them a good chance. Meng Yun is very strong, very powerful, we can't guard against it, but as long as we also If the Nets can't guard us, the result is still the same.

In the end, the head coach of the Bucks looked at Antetokounmpo and thought to himself: "As long as Giannis' performance can be offset by Meng Yun, and we try to limit other Nets players, then with our overall strength, the Nets will not be our opponent."

Thinking about it, he suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile: "I originally thought this way, this is the way we win, relying on our overall strength, relying on the fact that Giannis can rival Meng Yun, we try to limit the Nets Team other players, then with our overall strength, the Nets will not be our opponents."

For a while, the head coach of the Bucks was in a better mood.

The Nets here.

Everyone is in a good mood, because they are already ten points ahead, and they feel that the Bucks are not that difficult to deal with, and the players can't help but think so.

Coach Atkinson's expression was not so relaxed. He looked at Meng Yun and found that Meng Yun was also serious. He immediately understood that Meng Yun should go with him.

Clapping hands, the players calmed down. Coach Atkinson said: "Now the opponent can't restrict Meng Yun, and double-teaming is useless. They will definitely change their strategy. If my prediction is correct, the opponent will probably give up double-teaming later, and still It's a single defense against Meng Yun, but it will strengthen the defense against the rest of you. So you have to be careful later, don't panic, and show your strength."

The players immediately put away their smiling faces, all serious.

"There is also defense." Coach Atkinson said: "We still suffer too much inside. We have to protect the rebounds and help defend in time. Everyone has to fight for rebounds."

In fact, Coach Atkinson doesn't have any surprising ways to win. Now that the opponent can't guard against Meng Yun, they will calm down instead. From the overall point of view, it is not a good thing for the Nets.

After all, when it comes to the overall lineup and book strength, the Nets are still at a disadvantage.

The Bucks are well-balanced internally and externally, and the depth of the bench is sufficient. It is one of the few teams in the league that can compete for the championship without relying on the team of stars. On the contrary, there is no good way to deal with it.

Everything depends on the performance of the players.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

When the two sides came back, Meng Yun soon found that what coach Atkinson expected was correct. The opponent changed his strategy and stopped double-teaming. Instead, he strengthened his defense against the other players of the Nets.

At the same time, on the offensive end, the Bucks no longer blindly play inside and start to combine inside and outside. After all, their outside line is not weak. There are Middleton, Bledsoe, and a three-point shooter Ilyasova.

"Pick and roll!"

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll, then broke through and passed the ball to Dinwiddie.

At this time, Harris was replaced and Dinwiddie was replaced, also to deal with this situation. The Bucks changed their defensive strategy, and the Nets needed some players with stronger independent scoring ability.

Dinwiddie took the ball and swayed it, then broke through and rushed to the inside line for a layup, but was slapped by Lopez and slapped the ball away, losing the ball.

Big Lopez took the basketball and immediately passed it to Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo quickly launched a counterattack and took a few steps to the frontcourt. Meng Yun was faster and returned to his own half first, blocking Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo is tall and has long arms and excellent jumping. When he launches a quick counterattack, even Meng Yun cannot chase him behind him. The only way is to block in front first.

However, Antetokounmpo suddenly hugged the ball and took a European step. Meng Yun was also caught off guard and had no time to deal with it, so Antetokounmpo scored a layup.

Turning around, Meng Yun fought back, singled Bledsoe, and scored a jumper over Bledsoe again.

But Bledsoe has adjusted his mentality, and he was not angry because he couldn't guard Meng Yun. He took the ball and pushed forward. After coming to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Middleton, and he started running. For Brother Antetokounmpo, Brother Antetokounmpo played back singles, and Meng Yun went to help defend.

At this moment, Antetokounmpo passed the ball to the outside line.

Meng Yun secretly yelled that he was not good, and quickly rushed to the outside line. He let go of Bledsoe because he helped his teammates defend, and at this moment, Bledsoe had already made a three-pointer when he rushed over.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

Coach Atkinson frowned. The Bucks are really strong. Antetokounmpo and Lopez are on the inside. Antetokounmpo is even more rampant. No one can stop him. Laisuo was a little impulsive when he was beaten by Meng Yun before, but now he has calmed down and played his own advantage on the offensive end, as evidenced by the three-pointer just now.

Bledsoe is not tall. Although he is physically strong, he is still a bit stretched on the defensive end, but he is very impactful on the offensive end, which is why he can gain a foothold in the Bucks.

Middleton on the front line is an All-Star player, so there is no need to say much about his personal ability. After all, Anthony is in his thirties. He is at a disadvantage against Middleton.
Therefore, in less than a moment, the original 10-point lead was only 5 points, and the Nets were clearly at a disadvantage.
