Chapter 437 Spiritual Baptism
On October 10, the Heat ushered in their second preseason opponent, a home game against the Magic.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Magic 101:95 and won two consecutive victories in the preseason.

Meng Yun played 28 minutes in this game and scored 21 points, plus 9 assists and 6 rebounds. Compared with the previous game, his scoring has dropped, but his efficiency is very high, not inferior to the previous game.

On October 10, the Heat played against the Spurs at home.

This time the Heat failed to continue their victory and lost to the Spurs 102:107.

Meng Yun scored 18 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds. He finally saw the real "Spurs system" instead of the "pseudo-Spurs system" of the summer league.

Under the defense of the Spurs, Meng Yun was a little uncomfortable and his efficiency was not high, but he still scored 18 points and 7 assists, which made Spoelstra very satisfied. What he was satisfied with was not Meng Yun's scoring ability, but Meng Yun's scoring ability. Yun's ability to read the game, in the case of unfavorable offense, Meng Yun can quickly adjust and use breakthroughs and passes to help the team.

So after three games, Meng Yun averaged 7 assists per game.

Averaged 7 assists per game, which is already remarkable, Dragic only averaged 5.1 assists per game last season.

Of course, this is a preseason game, which is different from the regular season.

On October 10, the Heat rushed to the away game to play back-to-back against the Magic.

A few days ago, the Heat played against the Magic once, and the Heat won. This time, the Magic obviously planned to take revenge. They played very seriously at the beginning of the game, not treating it as a preseason game.

Under the fierce attack of the Magic, the Heat retreated steadily.

Just when Meng Yun thought he might lose today, Wade, Bosh, and Dragic stepped forward, and the three broke out in the third quarter, turning the situation around in one fell swoop.

In the end, the Heat won 106:102, double killing the Magic.

Wade scored 27 points; Bosh had 24 points and 11 rebounds; Dragic had 17 points and 5 assists, and the three scored 68 points together, which shocked Meng Yun. There weren't many, and they all played in silence, making Meng Yun almost forget that there were still these three strong players in the team.

Today, when the three broke out, Meng Yun came to his senses, and secretly reflected that he still has a lot of shortcomings compared to Wade, Bosh, and Dragic.

In these few games, Meng Yun averaged 20+7 per game, which made him a little bit smug, thinking that the NBA was nothing more than that.Meng Yun didn't wake up until today when he saw Wade and the others break out. He couldn't help but blush. If he can get 20+7, why not Wade and Bosh?They can too, and more easily, they just want to.

Besides, this is just a preseason game. When it really comes to the regular season, the intensity of the game will be different. Can I still get an average of 20+7 per game?

In this game, Meng Yun only scored 14 points, plus 3 assists and 4 rebounds. The statistics are not good, but it is not without gains, at least he has a peaceful mind.

The Heat returned to Miami after the game.

Meng Yun calmed down, trained hard, and humbly asked Wade, Bosh, Dragic and others for advice.

Beware of sinking, Meng Yun found that his progress was actually faster.He can feel that he is making progress almost every day, training, studying, and immersing himself in it every day is indescribably relaxed and happy.

"It feels so good."

Meng Yun felt very relaxed. From his body to his heart, he seemed to be back in high school. At that time, there was no interference from fame and fortune. He played for his love and worked hard for victory.

Once upon a time, that feeling was gone.

But now, Meng Yun has regained that feeling.

"The heart of a child, maybe this is the heart of a child."

Meng Yun showed a happy smile. He didn't know what "innocent heart" was, and he didn't care about it. He just felt happy and relaxed, and his whole body relaxed, as if he had experienced a spiritual baptism. .

In the past few days, everyone in the Heat team has noticed the difference in Meng Yun. He always has a smile, not the kind of smug smile, but a smile from the heart. He is full of enthusiasm for training. In addition to vitality, his state even infected others.

"Hehe, it seems that our worries are unnecessary." Craig smiled and said to Spoelstra: "Meng is not complacent because of his outstanding performance in these games. His mentality is very good."

"Well." Spoelstra nodded, with a smile on his face, "He is a natural basketball player, what is a genius, this is a genius, we really found a treasure this time."

Craig nodded repeatedly.

Meng Yun is like a piece of rough jade, which needs to be polished to become a talent. Originally, they were worried that after a few games, Meng Yun would develop a sense of pride and complacency, so they needed to be hammered.

But to their surprise, Meng Yun adjusted himself without waiting for them to beat him. He was calm, humble and hardworking, and he couldn't be better.

For a moment, apart from their joy, they were actually a little disappointed. This kind of genius is good at everything, but it makes people feel bored. They don't need our teaching. They have prepared so much, but they are all useless.

In a few days, Meng Yun's progress was not particularly great. Although he was improving every day, after all, the time was too short, but his mental state had a sublimation.

On October 10, the Heat came to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

The Heat have previously achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. This game against the Rockets is their fifth preseason game.

Houston, Toyota Center.

The auditorium was crowded, and there were many Rockets fans, but many of them were wearing Meng Yun's No. 0 jersey for the Heat, and there were many Chinese faces.

The Rockets have always been a very popular team in China. Since the Yao Ming era, the Rockets have formed an indissoluble bond with Chinese fans.

Until Yao Ming's retirement, and now in the Harden era, the Rockets are still one of the favorite teams of Chinese fans.

When Meng Yun came to the Toyota Center Arena, it really made it difficult for many fans. Some of them chose to continue to cheer for the Rockets, some wore Meng Yun's jersey, and some wore Yao Ming's No. 11 jersey, which seemed to be I chose neutral, saying that I don't support the Rockets or the Heat. I'm just a fan of Yao Ming.

"The Rockets." Meng Yun looked up and saw the jerseys hanging on the top of the arena. There were 6 jerseys hanging there. They were the jerseys of retired players in the history of the Rockets, including Olajuwon, Moses Malone, Clyde De Rexler, "Maybe I can see Brother Yao's No. 11 jersey there in the future."

Given Yao Ming's contributions to the Rockets and his reputation, it will be a matter of time before the Rockets retire his jersey.

In fact, after Yao Ming retired, the Rockets never allowed anyone else to wear Yao Ming's No. 11 jersey, which fully showed respect for Yao Ming, so it is understandable that Chinese fans like the Rockets. The Rockets are very interesting, so We love it, it's that simple.
