king of defenders

Chapter 428 Fighting for Victory
"Hey, where are we going after the game?"

"go home."

"I know a place, I will take you there after the game, and I will never let you down."

"Ennis, your goal just now was really beautiful. It was all negative angles and you were able to hook it in. It's amazing."

"Really? Hehe, I can't actually see the basket anymore, but I can feel it. It's a wonderful feeling. I know where the basket is."

During the intermission, the Heat players returned to the locker room. The players were talking and laughing happily. Some people even discussed going there to relax after the game. Meng Yun couldn't help frowning.

Wade noticed Meng Yun's strangeness, moved in his heart, approached Meng Yun and said, "I know you may not be used to it, but it's really nothing, after all, it's just a preseason game."

Meng Yun nodded and forced a smile.

He still doesn't agree with this approach. The game is not over yet, and the team is still two points behind. Some people are even discussing that they scored a beautiful goal, and they are still complacent, as if they are amazing.

Is this the nba?

No, absolutely not, at least Wade and Bosh did not.

"The outcome of the preseason will not affect the record of the regular season. It doesn't seem to be important, but since it is a game, it should look like a game." Meng Yun shook his head secretly, even if the outcome of the game does not determine anything, It doesn't need to be very hard, but at least it shouldn't be like Ennis and the others.

This is a disrespect to the game and a desecration of basketball.

Meng Yun didn't say anything, he was just a rookie, not the leader of the team, he couldn't control others, but he would insist on his own.

Intermission is over and the second half begins.

On the Heat's side are Whiteside, Mike Roberts, Luol Deng, Wade, Dragic.

The Hornets sent their starting lineup, Hawes, Williams, Batum, Gilchrist, Walker.

The Hornets launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the second half. They were obviously more serious than the Heat, and they were more eager for victory. The offense was very sharp and full of impact.

On the defensive end, the Hornets are also aggressive, very active, assisting in defense, switching defenses quickly, and actively fighting for rebounds, which frustrated the Heat's offense and played very unsmoothly.

After a few minutes, the point difference widened again.

With 5 minutes in the third quarter, the Hornets had widened the point difference to 12 points.

The original 2-point difference turned into 12 points, and everything happened within 5 minutes. The home fans in the audience shook their heads. After all, it was just a preseason game.

"beep"

Coach Spoelstra frowned slightly, and was not very satisfied with the performance of the players. The outcome of the game is unimportant, but it cannot be taken completely lightly. He has no fighting spirit and desire to win, which is not what it should be Competitive attitude.

With a stern face, Spoelstra looked towards the bench: "Meng, get on later."

Afterwards, Spoelstra spread out the tactical board and rearranged his tactics. When the timeout ended, the Heat's lineup became Whiteside, Anderson, Green, Meng Yun, and Joseph Young.

The Hornets also carried out personnel rotation, and Walker and Williams were replaced.

The whistle blows and the game continues.

The Heat attacked, and Meng Yun threw the ball directly to Joseph Young: "Joseph, you organize, I will play the 2nd position, I believe you can do well."

Joseph Young's heart shook and he nodded heavily.

In fact, the reason why Meng Yun completely handed over the organizational tasks to Joseph Young is not only because he trusts him, but more importantly, Meng Yun needs to focus on scoring.

Since no one cares about the outcome of the game, and no one is willing to go all out for victory, let yourself do it.

"ball."

After Meng Yun came to the front court, he ran back and opened his hands for the ball.

Joseph Young immediately split the ball and passed it to Meng Yun.

Meng Yun took the ball, stood outside the three-point line and lowered his center of gravity. In front of him was Jeremy Lamb. Meng Yun took a tentative step with his right foot. Impulsively, he nailed his feet to the floor.And at this moment, Meng Yun suddenly started, like an arrow flying off the string, and shot out with a whoosh.

"Fucked again." Jeremy Lamb cursed, turned and chased.

But it was too late.

Meng Yun's speed was much faster than that of Jeremy Lamb. After rushing over, he threw Jeremy Lamb away with one step, took advantage of the situation and rushed into the inside line, jumped up to meet the defender, and first found a body contact. Forcing the opponent to be unable to jump up to block the shot, this shot was hit with a board.

"nice shot."

The audience applauded again.

One minute later, it was Meng Yun again. This time Jeremy Lin rushed over to help Jeremy Lamb defend, but he was still unable to stop Meng Yun. Meng Yun accelerated and caught the ball in his arms. Jeremy Lin and Jeremy - Lamb squeezed through the middle, jumped up against the Hornets inside again, and threw his body into the air with a flick of his wrist.

boom!
Swish!
Meng Yun fell to the ground, and the basketball hit the net.

Only a few tens of seconds later, Meng Yun went inside again, but this time he failed to score, but turned to the defensive end, pushed Mike Roberts inside the opponent, and when he was about to perform a dunk, Meng Yun came and flew It's just a big hat that blows the basketball away.

"It's him again."

"It's the Chinese boy again."

Hornets fans gritted their teeth, resentful.

After Meng Yun came up from this quarter, he seemed to be everywhere. On the offensive end, he supported the Heat's offense. On the defensive end, he not only had rebounds, but also such iron-blooded blocks.

Looking at the scoreboard again, unknowingly the original 12-point difference has narrowed to only 5 points.

In a few minutes, relying on Meng Yun's performance on both ends of the offense and defense, the Heat once again narrowed the point difference to single digits.

"beep"

The whistle sounded, and Hornets coach Steve Clifford called a timeout. He looked at Meng Yun with a serious face, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Here, Coach Spoelstra patted Meng Yun's arm and praised "Good job". Seeing Meng Yun sweating like rain and gasping for breath, he thought about it and replaced Meng Yun.

"Whoa, whoa"

Meng Yun sat down, sweat still dripping like rain.

Joseph Young was also replaced, sat down next to Meng Yun, frowned and said, "Meng, you don't have to work so hard, this is just a preseason game."

"No." Meng Yun shook his head and said, "For me, every game is equally important. As long as I stand on the court, I will fight for victory."

"As long as you stand on the court, you have to fight for victory." Joseph Yang was stunned, and repeated Meng Yun's words, his tone became solemn, "You are right, as long as you stand on the court, you have to fight for victory , This is the competition. I understand why you are fighting so hard, Meng, you are not alone, there is me, and I will fight side by side with you."

"Well, fight side by side." Meng Yun nodded and smiled.
