Chapter 395
Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

Johnson waved his arm fiercely, venting the depression in his heart.

Meng Yun also stepped forward and gave Johnson a high five: "Good job."

"It's your beautiful pass." Johnson grinned, showing a happy smile. As long as he scored one goal, he would have the confidence to score the second and the third.
On the sidelines, McAdoo also breathed a sigh of relief, and the others finally scored.

But Becky Harmon's face is not very good-looking. This is what she is worried about. If the rest of the Heat can't score, or score very few points, and Meng Yun is alone, then even if Meng Yun gets 30+ It doesn't matter.But once the rest of the Heat start scoring, the situation is not good.

Becky Harmon walked to the sidelines and gestured to the Spurs players: "The original strategy remains the same, we still need to consume Meng, but we must also pay attention to other people, and don't miss anyone."

The Spurs players nodded in unison and began to attack.

When the Heat increased their defensive intensity, the Spurs' offense was not so easy to play.

After all, this is only the summer league lineup, which is improvised. Although there is Becky Harmon's guidance and the running-in of the previous games, it is unrealistic to really form a defensive system like the Spurs. It can take a few days to form, and it may take months or even years.

If the Heat's defense is not strong enough and the players are not active enough, then the Spurs can still tear apart the Heat's defense by relying on their overall tactics and selfless style.

But now the Heat have strengthened their defense, and the confrontation between the two sides is fierce. Under such circumstances, the Spurs players have to be cautious, not daring to make easy shots, and can't find an easy shot.

boom!
This time the Spurs failed to score.

The Heat launched a counterattack. After reaching the frontcourt, Meng Yun was still the starting point of the attack. He opened the singles Jonathan Simmons, changed direction continuously, then accelerated suddenly, turned around with the ball, and took three big steps along the way.Jonathan Simmons gritted his teeth and chased behind, and the Spurs also stepped forward to block the inside line.

At the same time, the other players of the Heat did not simply watch. Johnson, Smith, Ennis, and Whittington were also moving quickly, picking and rolling each other, looking for opportunities.

With a whoosh, Meng Yun scored the ball.

In the crowd, Meng Yun accurately found Whittington, who was pulled to the low post and one step inside the three-point line in the right bottom corner. Whittington took the ball without hesitation, and raised his hand to shoot.

boom!
The goal was missed.

But before the Spurs fans could breathe a sigh of relief, Smith jumped up, overwhelmed the Spurs inside in the air, tapped the ball, and the basketball slammed into the Nets. The score became 47:45, and the Spurs only led by 2 points.

Becky Harmon changed color and immediately called a timeout.

The Heat not only enhanced their defense, but also played a lot of blooms, which is troublesome.

"We still have to do a good job of defense." When the players came down, Becky Harmon said: "Pay attention to cutting off the connection between Meng and his teammates, forcing him to play singles, just like in the second quarter. His physical energy consumption is already very high , We must continue to consume him, Meng is the core of the Heat's tactics, when his physical energy is exhausted and his state declines, the Heat will have nothing to fear."

"Yes."

"Understood." The Spurs player responded.

Soon, the pause is over.

The two sides returned to the court. It was not luck that Becky Harmon was favored and trusted by Popovich. Her coaching ability was also very good. After the timeout, the Spurs successfully formed a tactical cooperation. Anderson sent the ball to the basket, the score was 49:45.

Meng Yun advanced with the ball and understood the Spurs' intentions after reaching the front court: "This is to cut off the connection between me and my teammates. I don't want us to play more blooming and force me to play singles. Maybe they still want to consume me. My physical fitness, intending to continue to consume me, so that my physical fitness can not keep up in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, they were wrong."

"Pull away."

Meng Yun gestured to his teammates, signaled everyone to pull away, and then singled out Jonathan Simmons. Jonathan Simmons was facing a big enemy. It was very hard and difficult to defend Meng Yun.

"Meng is going to play singles."

"This is not the way, and I have fallen into the opponent's rhythm again."

On the sidelines, both Rostern and Craig couldn't help frowning. McAdoo stared at the field and said in a deep voice, "We have to trust Meng, he knows what to do."

On the field, Meng Yun started and broke through to the right. Jonathan Simmons also moved immediately, but when Meng Yun took two steps forward, he suddenly stopped.Jonathan Simmons was startled and stopped subconsciously, but at this moment Meng Yun suddenly started again, using a sudden stop and quick start rhythm change to pass Jonathan Simmons.

"Damn, I was passed again." Jonathan Simmons was annoyed and turned around quickly.

The Spurs moved forward on the inside, but they didn't dare to step forward too much, worried that Meng Yun would score the ball.

But this time he was obviously wrong. Meng Yun didn't score the ball. After passing Jonathan Simmons, seeing that the opponent's inside line didn't come over, Meng Yun directly pulled out and flicked his wrist.

Swish!
The goal was scored, 49:47.

Moreover, after this ball, Meng Yun played a few more consecutive shots, scored once, caused a foul once, walked to the free throw line and made two free throws. He quickly scored 6 points alone, helping the Heat overtake by two points.

At this time, the Spurs had to change their strategy. They didn't dare to play Meng Yun in singles anymore. Jonathan Simmons couldn't prevent Meng Yun, and playing Meng Yun in singles was tantamount to giving him points.

And when the Spurs changed their strategy, Meng Yun began to output assists frantically, which made the Spurs very depressed. Putting Meng Yun in singles was not the way, but otherwise it would give the rest of the Heat a chance.

After a few minutes, the Heat not only overtook the score, but also widened the point difference to 5 points.

Becky Harmon's complexion was not good. Their strategy in the past few minutes has not received good results. The only thing that can comfort themselves is that it consumes a lot of Meng Yun's physical energy.

In the past few minutes, the Heat have overtaken the score. Johnson, Smith and others also scored, but Meng Yun is the key, and it consumes him a lot.

"beep"

The Heat requested a timeout, McAdoo made a substitution, and Meng Yun was replaced.

Becky Harmon took a deep breath and comforted his players: "It's okay. Although the score was overtaken, the purpose of consuming Meng's physical energy has been achieved. His physical energy will inevitably have problems in the fourth quarter. That's when we beat the Heat." The timing of the team." After finishing speaking, she looked at Jonathan Simmons, "Simmons, how are you doing, can you still keep up with your physical fitness?"

"I can." Jonathan Simmons nodded, panting.

In fact, Jonathan Simmons' physical energy consumption is already very high. He is responsible for defending Meng Yun so that his physical energy is always under high load consumption. If Meng Yun consumes 10 units of physical energy, then he consumes at least 12 units. unit.

But Jonathan Simmons knew he had to persevere.
