Chapter 1463 Eastern War Situation
"Meng Yun is really difficult to deal with. His personal ability is too strong, but they are different from the Rockets." An assistant coach said.

Before he could finish speaking, another teaching assistant interrupted: "Meng Yun is also different from Harden. Harden is not as good as Meng Yun."

The opponent nodded again and again: "Yes, Meng Yun is stronger and more difficult to deal with than Harden. He is too incomprehensible. And the Nets also have Dinwiddie, Harris, Anthony and others."

That's the headache for the Bucks.

First of all, the Nets' foundation is not bad, at least not like the Rockets. Although the Nets have no particularly strong players except Meng Yun, such as All-Star players like Middleton next to Antetokounmpo, Dinwiddie , Anthony, LeVille, Harris and other players are actually not bad.

Of course, the most important thing is Meng Yun, he is too strong.

After another discussion, the head coach of the Bucks said: "Facts have proved that it is difficult to restrict Meng Yun, so we have to try our best to restrict other Nets players. Of course, the most important thing is our On its own, to beat the Nets, you have to rely on offense."

Immediately, the two assistant coaches nodded in unison.

After that, the head coach of the Bucks called his players and gave them some instructions.

Facts have proved that the view of the head coach of the Bucks is correct. From the beginning of the second game of the series, the Bucks did not waste too much energy on Meng Yun, and instead restricted other players of the Nets as much as possible. Offensively played very well.

This seems to be a replica of the third quarter of the first game. The Bucks have the upper hand, maintain the lead, and gradually expand the lead.

After that, Meng Yun relied on his personal ability to chase points, but because he lost too many points in the first half, the point difference was too large, and Antetokounmpo and Middleton played a very critical role at the last critical moment. Whenever Meng Yun scored, they would stand up In return, he also scored the ball, making it impossible for the Nets to catch up with the score.

So when the game ended, the Nets lost to the Bucks, and the two sides scored 1:1.

At the same time, another group of matchups in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs also ended soon. The Heat vs. Celtics game is the same as the Nets vs. Bucks. Many people are not optimistic about the former, even if the Heat keep Most of the lineup that won the championship last season was lost, and the position Meng Yun left was also supplemented by All-Star player Kemba Walker, but the Celtics are too strong.

As a result, after two games, as the fans expected, the Heat were not the opponents of the Celtics. The two sides scored 2:0, and the Celtics won both games.

For a time, countless Heat fans began to miss Meng Yun.

You must know that the Celtics' lineup has not changed much from last season. Some are just the growth of young players such as Brown and Tatum. Last season, under the leadership of Meng Yun, the Heat defeated the Celtics and finally advanced. final and won the championship.

But this time the Heat have lost two games in a row, and their strength seems to be significantly worse than last season.

Many fans said that if Meng Yun was still in the Heat, the result would definitely not be like this. Under his leadership, the Heat will definitely be stronger than they are now.

This made Kemba Walker feel a lot of pressure and doubts.

In fact, since Walker joined the Heat, doubts have always existed, because everyone will subconsciously compare him with Meng Yun, and the results are self-evident. Walker is not bad. As an All-Star player, his strength is very good. He is a player in the first echelon of the league, but compared with Meng Yun, there is still some gap.

At the same time, the pressure on Xiang Long is not small. After all, everyone knows that he is the leader of the team, and he is the one who should shoulder the responsibility most.

A plane lands in New York, and the Nets return.

After two away games, the Nets players returned to New York, and the next game will be played at their home court.

When Meng Yun returned home, Guo Shuyao was on the phone with Nicole. Meng Yun went over to say hello, but didn't say anything, and didn't call Xiang Long.

At this time, neither the Heat nor the Nets are in a good situation. Meng Yun has his own team, and Xiang Long also has his own responsibilities. Meng Yun can't help him much now, and Xiang Long has to face many things by himself. On the contrary, it may be better.

This is growth.

A day later, the Bucks arrived for Game [-] of the series.

In the Barclays Center arena, more than 1 people gathered in the arena, most of them were fans of the Nets. They shouted loudly and cheered for the home team.

Near the sidelines, Guo Hai, Guo Shuyao, and Liu Qin were all there.

This game is very critical. The two sides tied 1:1 before, and whoever wins this game will take the initiative.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Harris shot from the Nets side, and the Bucks took the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack. In a blink of an eye, they reached the frontcourt, the basketball moved to the outside, and Ilyasova made a three-pointer.

Guo Shuyao frowned, and couldn't help worrying: "I'm already behind by 14 points."

Guo Hai expressed a solemn expression, and said: "The key is that the Nets are not in good shape today. Both Harris and Dinwiddie are in bad shape. It is too difficult to rely on Meng Yun alone."

From the second game, the Bucks completely changed their defensive strategy and began to compete with the Nets based on their overall strength. They could not deal with Meng Yun, but they could limit other Nets players.

As a result, the Bucks won the second game.

In this game, the Bucks continued this strategy, but the players on the Nets side were not in good condition. Dinwiddie and Harris were both key helpers around Meng Yun, but both of them were in poor condition. As a result, the Nets were suppressed and fell behind by more than ten points.

With the continuation of the game, in order to bite the score, Meng Yun had to rely on his personal ability to score points, which consumed a lot of physical energy, and the opponent was consciously consuming him.

Halfway through the third quarter, the point difference was 16 points.

Coach Atkinson gritted his teeth, replaced Meng Yun, and said, "Meng Yun, you have to take a break, there is still a fourth quarter." After finishing speaking, he looked at the others, "There are still five left in this quarter." More than a minute, it's up to you for more than five minutes."

The words were simple, but the players knew what the five minutes meant.

The 16-point difference is not a small amount. If they can't make a difference in these five minutes and narrow the difference, then even if Meng Yun tries his best in the last quarter, it may be difficult to turn the tide of the battle.

But Harris himself has a very single scoring method. Three-pointers are his ultimate trick, but today his three-pointer feels really bad.

Dinwiddie's shooting touch is also not good, so he can only break through frequently, hoping to make fouls and score from the free throw line, but the efficiency is too low.
