Chapter 426 Confronting Kemba Walker

"Walker will definitely play singles with this ball." Wade gave Whiteside a look.

Whiteside understood. Although he still followed Hawes, his eyes were fixed on Walker. If Walker could enter the penalty area, he would immediately rush over.

After all, this is a game, not a one-on-one on the street.

Outside the three-point line, Walker dribbled faster, his center of gravity was very low, his shoulders swayed from side to side, and various fake moves.

Meng Yun is fast and taller than Walker, but his skills and experience are not advantages, so he didn't use any fake moves and didn't have much skill in singles against Walker just now. Unsteady, a dry pull.

However, Walker's height and speed are not dominant. Shooting against Meng Yun is not a good choice, and Walker is not sure. He has to pass Meng Yun and get to the basket to score points.In addition, he has enough experience and skills, so his movements are very fancy, with a lot of fake moves, shaking from side to side a few times, and then he suddenly started.

"Left." Meng Yun moved immediately and got stuck.

Walker did indeed move from the left, but instead of going forward, he suddenly went backwards, pulled the ball back with a dribble behind his back, and withdrew his feet.

Meng Yun stepped forward subconsciously, and at the next moment, Walker changed direction and accelerated, breaking through from the right side. Meng Yun had just stepped forward, and it was too late to retreat at this time.

Behind, Whiteside rushed quickly.

Walker jumped up, raised the ball against Whiteside, twisted his body in the air, dodged in the air, avoided Whiteside's block, threw the ball, and hit the board high.

"Can I enter this too?"

"sharp."

In the auditorium, the fans were awe-inspiring.

Meng Yun squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but feel serious. Kemba Walker's strength is very strong. Although he is not as good as James, Paul, and Butler, he is much stronger than JR. He can beat JR one-on-one, but he is still Will be scored a few goals by JR.Walker has a stronger scoring ability than JR, and it is not easy to guard against him.

"beep"

At this time, coach Spoelstra made another substitution, replacing Wade and Luol Deng with Taylor Johnson and Gerald Green.

Wadela stopped Meng Yun and warned: "Don't always think about how to defend Walker. This is not a one-on-one. This is a game. You are not only facing Walker alone, but also the other players of the Hornets. It's not easy to guard Walker. It doesn't matter if you can't guard, as long as you can score goals."

Meng Yun was startled and suddenly understood.

Wade smiled, high-fived Taylor Johnson and Gerald Green, returned to the bench and sat down.

On the field, the score was 16:6.

The Heat attacked, Meng Yun still played the 1st position, Johnson played the 2nd position, and Green came to the frontcourt early and stood outside the three-point line at a [-]-degree angle on the right. This is his position.Whiteside was in the low post, and Mike Roberts was on the other side. Walker rushed up immediately after Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt, but Meng Yun did not play singles, and passed the ball directly.

Johnson took the ball to Green, and Green raised his hand for a three-pointer.

With a bang, the basketball bounced out of the basket. Walker only felt a gust of wind, and screamed in his heart that something was wrong. When he looked again, Meng Yun had already disappeared.

With a "snap", Hawes and Whiteside were stunned. They were fighting for the rebound, but there was a sudden darkness above their heads, and a thug rushed ahead of them and grabbed the rebound.

"It's Meng."

The fans exclaimed.

"It's him again." Annoyed, Walker rushed to the inside line.

And at this moment, Meng Yun flicked his wrist, passed the ball through the gap, found Green accurately, and delivered the ball to him.

Green caught the ball, and there was no one in front of him. He adjusted and shot again.

Swish!
The goal was scored, the score was 16:9, and the point difference became 7 points.

Green flew to Meng Yun and gave Meng Yun high fives to celebrate.

More than a minute later, Meng Yun used the pick-and-roll to break through and pretended to pass the ball back to Whiteside who mentioned the line. In fact, he turned his hand, changed the direction of the pass, and went straight to the basket.

Johnson sneaked over from the bottom line on the left side, received a pass from Meng Yun and scored two points with a layup, turning the difference between the two sides into 5 points.

At this time, the Hornets made a substitution, replacing Batum, Williams, and Hawes, but Walker remained on the court.

More than eight minutes into the first quarter, Coach Spoelstra replaced Whiteside with Chris Anderson. Without the Mr. Whiteside inside, Walker suddenly became more determined. After throwing off Meng Yun on the pick-and-roll, he went straight to the inside, jumped up to meet Anderson, and pulled the bar in the air.

Anderson's defense is a bit worse than Whiteside's. Although Whiteside's movement speed is not fast, at least he is tall and young, but Anderson is 38 years old, and "Birdman" can no longer fly.

Swish!
Anderson could only watch Walker score the ball.

"After seeing the coach, he really just regarded this game as training." Meng Yun was helpless, "Maybe I am the only one who values ​​the result of the game."

From the perspective of the lineup, the Heat have an absolute advantage, but Spoelstra obviously did not intend to let Bosh and Wade play too long, and sent Anderson up.

Heat attack.

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Johnson, and then quickly cut to the inside. Walker hurriedly followed, chasing Meng Yun to the inside, but suddenly hit a wall.

Anderson made a screen for Meng Yun. Meng Yun slipped along the baseline to the right corner beyond the three-point line. Johnson quickly passed the ball over. Meng Yun received the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball was scored and a three-pointer was hit.

The score became 18:14, and the point difference suddenly narrowed to 4 points.

Walker's eyelids trembled, and he immediately wanted to pay back a three-pointer, but unfortunately he couldn't make it.

In the next two rounds, both sides failed to score. With less than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the two sides made substitutions, and Walker was replaced by the Hornets coach.For the Heat, coach Spoelstra replaced Mike Roberts and Johnson with Haslem and Joseph Young, and switched to double guards.

This is also one of the Heat's rotations. Meng Yun and Joseph Young play double guards. In fact, Meng Yun is more of a No. 2 position, so as not to bury his scoring ability.

This substitution integrated Meng Yun's intentions, and when Joseph Yang came up, Meng Yun pulled him back and said, "Wait for you to organize, watch out for me to ask for the ball."

Joseph Yang frowned, knowing that Meng Yun was going to attack with all his strength, he said solemnly: "Well, don't worry, I will definitely be able to deliver the ball to you."

Meng Yun has no doubts about Joseph Young's guarantee. Meng Yun has improved a lot during the one-month training camp, and Joseph Young has also improved a lot.

At the beginning, Meng Yun's words touched Joseph Young a lot. Over the past month or so, Joseph Young began to change his style of play, reducing his personal offense and strengthening his organization. At the same time, he began to learn to read the game and defense. Instinctive play has changed to brain play.

Compared with more than a month ago, Joseph Young has matured a lot, his overall view is better, and his passing skills and awareness have also improved.

This is why Benno Udry is still sitting on the sidelines and guarding the drinking fountains, while Joseph Young, a rookie, can get playing time. With his performance for more than a month, Joseph Young has already squeezed out Benno Udry .At least in the eyes of the coaching staff, he is more promising than Benno Udrih.
