Chapter 382 Meet the All-Stars

"beep"

McAdoo called a timeout.

When the players came down, McAdoo spread out the tactical board: "Wait, Meng, Johnson, you go."

When the timeout ended and both sides returned to the field, they both switched to the starting lineup. It was obvious that the two sides were going to have a final duel, and whoever would win would depend on the last few minutes.

Meng Yun held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, facing Mudiay without the slightest hesitation, directly played singles, changed directions continuously, and then suddenly accelerated to pass Mudiay, and went inside to score points.

A ball stabilized the situation.

When retreating to the defensive end, Meng Yun told Smith: "Prevent Jokic."

"Yeah." Smith nodded.

To Meng Yun's surprise, Jokic turned out to be the foil. The core of the Nuggets' tactics is Mudiay, he is the starting point of the offense, and he is the finisher of the offense.

But facing Meng Yun and facing the defense of the Heat, Mudiay couldn't do anything at all, especially against Meng Yun, he completely lost the confidence he should have, and couldn't score no matter how hard he played.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Mudiay struck the iron.

Meng Yun took the rebound, quickly launched a counterattack, stuck to Mudiay to the frontcourt, then slowed down, used the change of rhythm to cause Mudiay's foul, and scored the ball.

When Meng Yunjia made a free throw, the Heat re-established an 8-point lead.

"Oh," Jokic sighed in disappointment.

Meng Yun and Johnson exchanged a look and smiled at each other. They thought it would take a lot of effort, but the Nuggets actually abolished their martial arts, leaving Jokic, who played the best today, without using Mudiay. As the core of tactics, have they forgotten that Mudiay was blown up by Meng Yun in the first half?

Of course, for the Heat, this is a good thing.

As time passed, the game gradually lost its suspense.

At the end of the game, the Heat beat the Nuggets 80:68. Meng Yun scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. The statistics are beautiful, another 20+.

Mudiay looked gloomy and lost.

Glancing at Mudiay, Meng Yun shook his head, walked towards Jokic: "Hey, Nikola Jokic." Cloud gave a hug.

"Meng, you played very well, very well." Jokic said sincerely.

"Thank you." Meng Yun said with a smile: "You are also great, you are the best passing big man I have ever seen, I believe you will become a very good player in the future, and even become an All-Star player. "

Jokic was shocked, a little flattered, can he really become an All-Star player?Frankly speaking, he didn't even think about it that way himself, but he could feel that Meng Yun wasn't joking, and immediately said seriously: "Thank you, Meng, I believe you will become an All-Star player."

"Haha." Meng Yun laughed loudly: "Okay then, we'll meet the All-Stars."

"Hehe." Jokic also smiled, very happy.

A day later, the Heat ushered in their third game, against the Celtics.

In this game, guard Marcus Smart, who was selected by the Celtics with the 14th pick in the first round of 6, was absent due to injury. Zill, as well as RJ-Hunter, James Young and others, are significantly worse than the Heat.

There was no suspense in the final game. The Heat easily defeated the Celtics 88:74.

RJ-Hunter played the best role for the Celtics. He played 24 minutes and scored 14 points and 7 rebounds on 22 of 5 shots. In addition, James Young contributed 14 points, 5 rebounds and 16 rebounds on 9 of 3 shots. Assists, Terry Rozier only scored 6 points.He has played against Meng Yun before. The power forward Jordan Mitch from Louisiana State University is eye-catching. He was selected by the Celtics with the 33rd pick in the second round this year. He came off the bench today and won It's 18 points.

For the Heat, Meng Yun scored 25 points, plus 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and another 20+. Now almost everyone thinks that 20+ is Meng Yun's regular performance.

If you don't get 20+, it's useless.

Of course, rookie players like Meng Yun don't have the mood of the media and fans to tease Meng Yun.There was this ruthless guy among the rookies in the same class, and they felt a lot of pressure.

At the end of the three games, the Heat won all three games, winning each game by more than a dozen points. Therefore, in the standings, the Heat ranked third.

The reason why it is not number one is because other teams have won too many points, such as the Spurs, who beat their opponents by 28 points in the game against the Knicks, and the Suns, who beat their opponents by 25 points in another game.

In comparison, although the Heat are very balanced in every game and win their opponents by more than ten points, they are not as good as the Spurs and Suns in total points, ranking third.

The Las Vegas Summer League also has an mvp list in addition to the standings.

Although the Heat only ranked third in the standings, Meng Yun ranked first in the mvp list with an average of 22.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists in three games.

In fact, there are people with higher scoring averages than Meng Yun, not just one, but Meng Yun is the only one who can average 20+ points per game and still have 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

On July 7, all the games in the Las Vegas Summer League ranking stage came to an end.

On the second day, the teams ranked 9-24 began to fight against each other. The 8 teams that won in the end will qualify and will fight against the 1 teams ranked 8-8 to determine the top 8.

After a round of fighting, the winning team between 9-24 was born, and the Heat also ushered in their next opponent-the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls rank 16th in the standings, and their strength is not very strong.

There was also no suspense in this game. The Heat easily defeated the Bulls and successfully reached the top eight.

Meng Yun scored 22 points, plus 8 rebounds and 5 assists. The number of rebounds broke his personal single-game record and continued to lead the MVP list.

On the same day, the Heat played against the top eight teams. Meng Yun scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists. He led the Heat to double figures with 5 players, defeated the Trail Blazers, and successfully reached the semifinals.

The Spurs, Suns, and Eagles joined the Heat in the semifinals.

After entering the semi-finals, the competition will become more intense, because there are only two steps away from the championship, which is already very close. Who wants to fail when they get here?

At the same time, the enthusiasm of the fans is also instantly high, because both the Heat and the Eagles have entered the semifinals, and in the semifinals they will meet and have a showdown.

What was originally thought to be impossible has become a reality. Both the Heat and the Eagles have reached the half-game, so Meng Yun and Justise Winslow will also play against each other in the semi-finals.

This made the fans excited. Meng Yun and Justise Winslow are not on the right track. Winsnow threatened to blow Meng Yun up, but Meng Yun called him a talker. What will happen when the two meet?
