king of defenders

Chapter 361 Go chase your dreams!

"The Heat defeated the Nets and ushered in two consecutive victories in the Orlando Summer League. With the No. 7 pick in the first round this year, Meng from China scored 11 points, 12 assists, and 4 rebounds."

The news that the Heat beat the Nets and won another victory was quickly known to fans.

Some fans who don’t have time to watch the live broadcast can only learn about the game through written reports. When they saw this report, their first reaction was “Not good. Meng Cai scored 11 points, which is much less than the previous game. But the number of assists is not bad. It's 12 assists, which is not easy", but when it is clear that Meng Yun only played three quarters, the fans will be happy.

Scored 11+12 in three quarters, which is not bad.

There is no doubt that if Meng Yun thinks about it, if he is allowed to play one more quarter, the score will definitely not be only 11 points, which does not mean that he is not playing well.

In fact, whether it is ESPN, Yahoo Sports, or other media, they all praised Meng Yun and highly praised his performance today.

espn said: "Meng only scored 11 points today. Maybe you think it's too little, because he scored 20 points yesterday. But I don't think it matters at all. He could have scored more points, but he didn't do it." , when his teammates performed well and did not need him to stand up and score, he kept calm and sent assists for his teammates instead of competing for points. This is a mature and wise approach, for a rookie player It's very rare to say."

Yahoo Sports said: "Meng got the first double-double of his NBA career, this time it was 11+12, but maybe next time he will give us a bigger surprise and get a bigger double-double. He With such talent and potential, I don't think it's impossible, and I'm looking forward to more amazing performances from Meng."

This so-called "Bigger" is obviously much bigger than 11+12, such as 20+20!

In the United States, Meng Yun's performance has conquered countless fans. Although there are only two games, Meng Yun's performance has surpassed all rookies this year, including Towns and Okafor.

In China, the fans are even more excited.

Meng Yun has become the most anticipated player in the eyes of fans. On major websites, Meng Yun's search times and attention have surpassed some NBA stars, and even surpassed some entertainment stars with tens of millions of fans.

"Meng Yun is really great."

"He performed very well in these two games, 20+ in one game, double-double in one game, and easily KO opponents."

"I feel that Meng Yun will definitely be able to stand up, not like those players before. Look at his performance in the NCAA, look at his performance in these two games, and look at our country's basketball for decades, it is unique!"

No wonder the fans are excited, mainly because they are too empty inside.

Watching the NBA every day, all you see are foreign stars, who doesn't have the feeling that "everything is good for others"?I like Kobe, Wade, and James, but I always feel that something is missing.

What is missing?resonance.

The appearance of Meng Yun made the fans find what they lacked in their hearts, giving them resonance and expectations.
However, Yao Ming was a little worried about this situation, and said to Zhang Mingji: "It's not necessarily a good thing to cook oil with fire. The higher people's expectations of him, the greater the pressure on him. I'd rather he be mediocre in the beginning. In this way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t play well in a game. But now he’s doing so well, if he doesn’t play well in a game, I’m afraid many people will blame him. After all, he’s still young, only 19 age."

"Yes." Zhang Mingji frowned, nodded and said, "A lot of young players are actually ruined like this. The public opinion of the outside world is a kind of pressure on them. The greater the popularity, the more attention they receive, the greater the pressure. Fans They only care about how well you play, but they don’t care about how much pressure you have.”

This is not an accidental phenomenon, but it will be further magnified many times if it falls on Meng Yun, or if it falls on Chinese players.

Because there is only one NBA player in China now, all eyes are on him, just like Yao Ming just entered the NBA.

Yao Ming has a calm and strong personality, optimistic and open-minded. After a period of time, he overcame the pressure and gradually proved himself in the NBA.

Yao Ming is lucky, but Yi Jianlian is not so lucky, his personality is too introverted.

For people with Yi Jianlian's personality, the pressure from public opinion will have a greater impact on them, and Yi Jianlian's failure to achieve his worth in the NBA is not unrelated to this.

"I have to give him a call." Yao Ming said, picking up the phone.

United States, Orlando.

In the hotel, Meng Yun put down the phone, feeling moved: "Brother Yao is really nice, he even thought of this, so he made a special call. Am I famous now? Well, maybe I am. But I don't care about it, I didn't enter the NBA to be famous, nor did I want to prove something to others, I just wanted to earn some money to perform surgery on Uncle Guo."

Even though he thought so, Meng Yun suddenly felt a little empty. Uncle Guo's surgery was a success, and his original goal of participating in the NBA draft had been achieved.

So, what am I playing for now?

"Heh, it really hurts when I'm free, what are you thinking about, worrying about others." Meng Yun shook his head, didn't continue to think, picked up his phone, "It's been more than a day, I don't know if Uncle Guo woke up or not. .”

Meng Yun dialed out.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Guo Shuyao's voice came: "Meng Yun. I was about to call you just now. My dad has already woken up. Doctor Dawn said that the situation is very good."

"That's good." Meng Yun became happy.

Guo Shuyao asked about today's game again, and Meng Yun briefly talked about it.

At this time, Guo Shuyao gave the phone to Guo Hai, and Guo Hai's still weak voice came from the other end of the phone: "Meng Yun."

"Uncle Guo." Meng Yun shouted, his eye circles turning red again.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. The doctor said the operation went well, and I'll be fine soon." Guo Hai said, "I heard from Shuyao that you played very well in these two games. But you can't be complacent. Just entered the NBA, there is still a lot to learn. Train hard, learn from coaches and teammates, don't pay too much attention to the outside media, what they say is their business, playing well is your business, you know?"

Meng Yun nodded his head heavily and hummed, he didn't expect that Uncle Guo and Brother Yao would think of going together.

On the other end of the phone, Guo Hai's voice came: "Meng Yun, I didn't tell you some things before, because you wouldn't listen to them. But now I can say them. My operation was successful, and I'm fine now. After waiting I asked Shuyao to go back to school in a few days. She has been delayed for a long time. And you, don’t worry about me. Meng Yun, play well, this time it’s not for me. I know, although you didn’t say it, you also have Your dream. From now on, go chase your dream."
