king of defenders

Chapter 373 Anxiety
Bottom line, Whittington grinned, grabbing the basketball was a dunk.

Letting go of the basket with both hands, Whittington was still a little bit unsatisfied. He glanced at the basket nostalgicly, and thought that it would be great if he could eat this simple and pleasant cake a few more times.

Afterwards, he ran towards Meng Yun, grinning and showing his white teeth, and said, "Meng, your pass is great. I don't even need to think, just jump up and smash the ball into the basket."

Seeing the smile on Whittington's face, Meng Yun knew what this guy was thinking, and scolded, "Stop flattering me. That's fine, I'll give it to you later when I find a chance."

"Haha, that's settled." Whittington said happily.

"Don't worry." Meng Yun thought for a while, and then told Whittington: "Defend well." If you defend well, you will have bread, and if you don't defend well, you will eat dirt.

The score became a 2:2 tie.

The Grizzlies were attacking, and Russ Smith was very steady, conscientiously doing organizational work, and did not rush to attack by himself. After reaching the frontcourt, he distributed the ball, and then began to run, trying to get rid of Meng Yun.

At the same time, the rest of the Grizzlies were also in action. Several people moved quickly, covering each other, and the speed of distributing the ball was very fast, like a revolving lantern.

After a few passes, the Grizzlies managed to tear open a hole in the Heat's defense. Small forward Jerry Broad threw off Ennis, caught the ball and dribbled forward for a hit.

"really."

Meng Yun frowned. The Grizzlies played very well this summer league, not because of any super players in their lineup, but because they played very well. They are one of the rare teams with team capabilities.However, unlike the Heat, the Heat rely on Meng Yun to bring players together, while the Grizzlies rely on their strong tactical execution ability.

At this point, I have to say that the Grizzlies are very strong, and they have a strong system.

Under the fixed tactics, every Grizzlies player has clear responsibilities and a clear division of labor. They have no "core players", but everyone is very proactive. They know what role they are playing and when they should play. Passing the ball, when to shoot, playing decisively.

Of course, this is also because the five players in this lineup are all from the Grizzlies.

Except for Jarrell Martin, the other four have played together for at least a few months, and they have enough tacit understanding with each other, so they can have such a strong tactical execution ability.

McAdoo mentioned this long before the game.

Meng Yun kept this in his heart, and at this moment, after the match confirmed it, he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring: "If the fight continues like this, the result is really hard to tell."

The game continues.
In a blink of an eye, 4 minutes later in the first quarter, the score became 8:7, and the Grizzlies led by 1 point.

In these 4 minutes, Meng Yun took 3 shots and only scored 2 goal. The shooting rate is not high. The performance of his teammates is not bad. Whittington scored [-] points and Johnson hit a three-pointer, which is only one behind the Grizzlies point.

However, in McAdoo's view, he didn't play well today, the scoring efficiency was not high, and the defense failed to limit the Grizzlies very well. The almost crushing advantage of the previous few games seems to have disappeared.

"It's not surprising." Craig said: "The Grizzlies are different from other teams. The other teams are fighting on their own. We naturally have an advantage against them. But the Grizzlies have teamwork and have Enough defensive tacit understanding, our team cohesion is not an advantage against them."

Rostern also said: "It will be very anxious to fight the Grizzlies like this. We have to change our strategy."

Change tactics.

McAdoo looked at Meng Yun. In fact, Meng has already changed his strategy, strengthened his personal offense, and wanted to break the deadlock on the field with his personal ability, but he didn't seem to feel very good today.

The situation is not complicated. If the Heat want to get rid of this anxious situation, they must change their strategy, and Meng Yun is the key.The Heat have core players that the Grizzlies don't have. They can take advantage of this and use Meng Yun as a sharp knife to tear a hole in this situation and rely on Meng Yun's personal ability to defeat the enemy.

But now Meng Yun doesn't feel good, can this strategy still work?
"Just wait and see," McAdoo said to himself.

Soon, another 2 minutes passed.

Meng Yun made another shot. It was a breakthrough layup, but it bounced out of the basket. He really didn't feel very good today. In the past, this kind of breakthrough layup was very sure, but today he missed it.

"pause!"

McAdoo called a timeout.

"Meng, and Ennis, come down and rest." McAdoo changed: "Zoran, Green, you two go." After finishing speaking, he spread out the tactical board and began to arrange, "Wait for us."

The tactics are arranged, and the timeout has just ended.

Watching the players walk onto the field, McAdoo sat down next to Meng Yun and said, "It's okay, it's just that the hand feels bad for a while, so make some adjustments." Then, McAdoo looked towards the field with a serious face, "Today's This game can be tense. Meng, you are the key if we want to win, understand?"

"Understood." Meng Yun replied, taking a deep breath.

The game continues.

Both sides have made personnel adjustments. The Heat have lost Meng Yun, and their combat effectiveness has dropped by a level.Because the Grizzlies are mixed with undrafted and development league players, the lineup is not tacit enough, and their combat effectiveness has also dropped a lot.

As a result, the two sides were still anxious, and the scores were rising alternately, but the point difference was never more than 5 points. The fans in the audience watching were very nervous.

Until the end of the first quarter, the score was 20:18, and the Grizzlies led by 2 points.

"This game is very anxious."

"Well, the main reason is that Meng didn't feel good today. He only scored 2 points in the first quarter."

"I hope Meng's touch can come back."

During the holiday break, the fans talked a lot.

It is a fact that Meng Yun did not play well in this quarter.

"ball."

Meng Yun ran back, asked for the ball from his teammates, and then raised his hand for a three-pointer.

With a bang, the shot hit the iron, and the Grizzlies took the rebound. Meng Yun quickly retreated, frowning.

It was already the 7th minute of the second quarter. Meng Yun came up to play for 2 minutes, but the hand feeling was still not good. He encountered a hand feel crisis. Counting the first quarter, he had missed 6 shots in a row.

"Shh!"

The Grizzlies scored, Jordan Adams hit a three-pointer, and the score between the two sides became 37:29. Taking advantage of Meng Yun's poor hand, the Grizzlies widened the point difference to 8 points.

At this time, the situation is not good for the Heat.

"Meng." Johnson approached and said to Meng Yun, "It doesn't matter, just keep shooting. As long as you keep shooting, you can always find the touch. As long as you make one, the touch will come back."

"Yes." Joseph Yang also leaned over: "Meng, you just shoot, we will support you."

"Yeah." Meng Yunchong nodded to the two, then looked at the Grizzlies basket ahead, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fuck the touch, nothing can stop me!"
