Chapter 351 Successful Surgery
"Where is Meng? Where did he go?"

"What's going on, why didn't you see Meng?"

"I came here just to watch his game, don't tell me he won't play today."

"Meng, we want Meng, we want Meng"

In the auditorium, the fans were silent for a moment, and then they started to get mad. Many people came for Meng Yun, but Meng Yun was not there. How could this work? Wouldn't the ticket money be wasted?
TJ frowned, and said to himself: "It shouldn't be. This is the first NBA show, Meng shouldn't be absent, and I didn't hear any news beforehand that he won't play this game."

Not only TJ, but other reporters are all dumbfounded. There is no news in advance that Meng Yun will not fight. Some people even saw Meng Yun coming to Orlando earlier and staying in a hotel with the Heat. He is in Orlando. Why? Didn't show up?

There was an uproar in the auditorium, and the noise resounded throughout the arena, which surprised McAdoo, Craig, and Rostern. The three exchanged a look and laughed. Fortunately, they were well prepared.

At this time, the voice of the on-site commentary sounded: "I'm sorry, Meng will be late due to some personal matters. But he has arrived, he is in the locker room, and he will definitely play. Please rest assured the fans."

"Being late? Is this still late?"

The fans were dumbfounded. This is Meng Yun's first NBA game. Even if it's the summer league, not the regular season, it can't be ignored.

I haven't seen anyone late for summer league, and it's not work.

This reason is not strong enough, and many people complained, but fortunately, knowing that Meng Yunren was in the locker room, it was obviously due to some special reasons, and the fans did not go too far.

A group of reporters became curious, what was it that made Meng Yun keep delaying his first NBA game?This is definitely a good material.

Although Meng Yun is missing, the game will continue.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the game officially started.

The starters for the Heat are center Joshua Smith, power forward Greg Whittington, small forward James Ennis, shooting guard Taylor Johnson and point guard Joseph Young.

The starting lineup sent by the Pacers is center Myles Turner, power forward Christian Watford, small forward Romero Osby, shooting guard Josh Richardson, point guard Joe Young.

From the point of view of the lineup, the height of the Heat team is at a disadvantage. The tallest of the starting five is Joshua Smith, who is 208 cm tall, while his favorite Joseph Young is only 188 cm, and the Pacers are tallest this year. The 11th overall pick, Myles Turner, is 211 centimeters tall. My favorite Joe Young is the same as Joseph Young. Both Youngs are 188 centimeters, but the Pacers are taller at positions 2, 3 and 4. higher.

All in all, the Pacers' lineup is relatively balanced in height, and they don't suffer from every position against the Heat, and even have certain advantages, but the Heat are faster.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides quickly entered the state. The Pacers got the ball and passed the ball several times after quickly coming to the frontcourt. Finally, the Pacers selected the rookie Richardson with the 43rd pick in the second round this year. Mid-range jumper shot.Maybe it was because of being too nervous, the ball was obviously hard and without arc, it hit the ring with a bang and bounced high.

Smith jumped up, trying to pick off the rebound, but suddenly felt a darkening of the top of his head, and a big hand rose from behind, over him and took the basketball away.

"Turner." Smith was taken aback.

Before he could react, Turner jumped up again, dunked with one hand, and dunked the basketball into the basket.

Smith was a little depressed. He was dunked on the head at the beginning of the game, which was a bit embarrassing.However, he also has to admit that Turner's jumping and explosive power are better than him, and his height and wingspan are also better than him. He can't take advantage of the inside matchup.Perhaps the only thing that can be relied on is that the weight is heavier than Na.

In the auditorium, the fans cheered loudly, and amidst the cheers, the Heat launched a counterattack.
In the locker room, Meng Yun had already changed his jersey and sneakers. He was sitting on the bench with his mobile phone next to him, his hands clasped together, feeling nervous.

Today is his first NBA game, but today is also the day of Guo Hai's surgery.

A few hours ago, Guo Hai had already been sent to the operating room. Dr. Dawn performed the surgery himself and performed a heart transplant on Guo Hai.The operation lasted for several hours, and Meng Yun also worried for several hours, his heart was up and down, and he couldn't calm down at all.

In this case, he couldn't devote himself to the game, so he asked the team for leave and stayed in the locker room to wait for news.He had to confirm the success of the operation before he could calm down.

"Huh..." Meng Yun took a deep breath, glanced at the phone again, and comforted himself: "It should be soon, it's been a few hours, and it will be fine soon."

Meng Yun didn't dare to call to inquire, so he could only keep looking at his phone.

At this time, time becomes very slow, as if 1 minute is like an hour, a day.
"%^&"

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Meng Yun trembled, immediately grabbed the phone, and pressed the answer button: "Sister Shuyao." He called out, but he didn't dare to ask, his heart was lifted, and he held his breath.

Guo Shuyao's voice came from the phone, choked with joy: "Meng Yun, the operation was a success."

The operation was successful!

These few words were like sounds of nature, Meng Yun was instantly ecstatic, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Haha, that's great, that's great." It took him a while to calm down, and said to Guo Shuyao: "Sister Shuyao, thank Dawn for me. Also, take care of Uncle Guo, I'm going to the competition, and I'll call you after the competition is over."

Guo Shuyao said: "Well, let's go. Doctor Dawn said that there is nothing to worry about. The heart is well matched and the operation was successful. My dad will recover soon. You have to play well, you know?"

"En." Meng Yun responded.

Putting down the phone, Meng Yun was in a good mood and felt relaxed. He opened the door and walked out of the locker room: "Summer League, here I come."

At the same time, the Heat have fallen into a disadvantage on the court.

The competition system of the summer league is a bit different from the regular season. Although the summer league also plays 4 quarters, each quarter is only 10 minutes long, which is the same as the FIBA ​​standard.

At this point the first quarter is over, with a score of 15:24, the Heat only scored 15 points in the first quarter, trailing the Pacers by as much as 9 points.

It was only 9 points behind in the first quarter. Obviously, the Heat played very badly. The defense was full of loopholes and the offense was weak. Johnson and Ennis were the only starters who performed well. Johnson scored 6 points and Ennis took By 4 points, none of the other three had scored, and the rotation players had only scored 5 points in total.

In contrast to the Pacers, Turner alone scored 7 points, Joe Young scored 3 points, Watford scored 2 points, Richardson scored 2 points, and four of the five starting five scored.

Comparing the two phases, the difference is more obvious.
