Chapter 455 The Test Has Just Begun

October 10, Miami, American Airlines Center Arena.

The regular season has officially kicked off, and the Heat also ushered in their first regular season game.

And coincidentally, this time their opponent is the Hornets.The Heat's first opponent in the preseason was the Hornets, and it is indeed a coincidence that the first opponent in the regular season is still the Hornets.

In the preseason, the Heat narrowly beat the Hornets by 90:89.

In that game, Meng Yun used a magical 3+1 quasi-lore to kill the Hornets, leaving only a dozen seconds for the Hornets. The Hornets failed to score in the last attack and lost to the Heat.

Meng Yun scored 28 points, plus 8 assists and 4 rebounds. With such a gorgeous data, he drew a perfect end to his preseason first game.

That game made Meng Yun famous, and many people talked about his final "3+1" and his matchup with Kemba Walker.

Now that the Heat encounter the Hornets again, Meng Yun will also face Kemba Walker again, which makes fans look forward to it.

"Looking at the appearance of the Hornets, it is inevitable to win today's game. They staged dunks one after another, and the momentum is compelling."

"They lost in the preseason game, and they were still killed. Of course they were not convinced. What's more, this is the regular season. Every game is very important. The Heat want to get off to a good start, and the Hornets are the same. "

"Yes."

"Look at Meng, he's been shooting three-pointers and looking very calm."

"I don't know if Meng Yun can still perform like he did in the preseason against Kemba Walker this time?"

In the auditorium, the home fans whispered.

This is warm-up time. Players from both sides are warming up. Hornets players have dunked one after another, looking very excited and with a fierce momentum.

On the Heat side, Ennis and Whiteside were not convinced, and each staged dunks. Even Joseph Young dunked one, and even encouraged Meng Yun to dunk one too. Everyone knows how good Meng Yun's bounce is. Madden.

But Meng Yun refused.

This is the American Airlines Arena, and it's my home field. They are visitors from afar, and I will never be soft when the game starts, but it's meaningless to compete with the opponent right now.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Meng Yun hit another three-pointer, and he showed a smile: "Not bad, I feel okay today."

It's "okay" for Meng Yun, but it's not just "okay" for the Hornets fans in the audience.

Hornets fans stared at Meng Yun with melancholy expressions.

The preseason match against Meng Yun became the key to defeating the Hornets. In addition, he was in the limelight, and Hornets fans had been observing him for a long time.They thought that Meng Yun would also dunk and compete with the Hornets, but it didn't work out. Meng Yun just kept shooting three-pointers from the three-point line.

At first, the Hornets fans snorted and said Meng Yun was a coward. Ennis and Joseph Young dared to dunk back, but he didn't dare.

But soon the expressions of these people became stiff, because Meng Yun made 7 consecutive three-pointers, and the consecutive goals continued, the 8th, 9th, 10th.
When Meng Yun made 15 consecutive three-pointers, the fans of the Hornets fell silent. They looked at Meng Yun worriedly, and their hearts were drumming: "This Chinese kid has a good shooting touch today. He made consecutive shots. 15 three-pointers. If we can still be so accurate later in the game. No, it doesn’t need to be so accurate. As long as it is half accurate, it will be a disaster for us.”

Heat fans were also a little surprised, but more happy.

A fan's eyes glowed, and he said with a smile: "Meng's touch is hot, I hope it will be so accurate in the game later."

Even Joseph Young, Johnson and others were surprised. They train with Meng Yun every day, and they all know that Meng Yun is practicing three-pointers hard now, and they also know that Meng Yun is usually very good at three-pointers, but today his hand feeling is obviously stronger than usual. Fiery, scored more than a dozen in a row and did not stop, and continued to score goals.

It wasn't until the 21st that Meng Yun hit the iron and failed to make a shot.

"It's a pity." Joseph Young regretted.

In the auditorium, the Hornets fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Some fans immediately became lively again, like a rooster, yelling: "No one's defensive shot must be useless, the game is not training."

Some people followed suit, but more people chose to remain silent.

Meng Yun didn't know about other people's reactions, and he didn't care. After missing the ball, he stopped, made a few layups, and then the warm-up was over.

"Everyone come here." Coach Spoelstra spread out the tactical board, "Whiteside, Bosh, Luol Deng, Wade, Dragic, you guys start. Let's still follow our usual style of play Come on, pay attention to guarding Kemba Walker, as long as Kemba Walker is restricted, the game will be easy to play."

"offensive"

Not far away, the Hornets are also deploying tactics.

When the two sides have arranged their tactics, the game will start soon.

The Hornets' starters today are center Al Jefferson, power forward Marvin Williams, small forward Nicolas Batum, shooting guard PJ-Halston, and point guard Kemba Walker.

The Heat are the regular starters, and Meng Yun is still on the bench, sitting on the bench with Joseph Young and Johnson. He looked at the audience and couldn't help feeling: "The regular season is different from the preseason and summer league. , there are many more fans, and the atmosphere is obviously different, both the players and the fans are more serious."

There are tens of thousands of fans in such a huge arena, and the huge sound fills the arena. You can even feel the breath from the fans, and there is a sense of tension in the air.

That's something summer league and preseason didn't have.

"That's it for the regular season, what about the playoffs? The atmosphere should be more tense." Meng Yun raised endless expectations for the playoffs, and at the same time secretly reminded himself: "The summer league and the preseason are nothing. It can even be said that it is not an official NBA game at all. It doesn’t mean anything if I play well in the summer league and preseason. The NBA is the regular season and playoffs. The intensity and intensity of the competition are summer league and preseason. The game is incomparable. For me, the test has just begun. Whether I can prove myself and gain a firm foothold in the NBA depends on the regular season and playoffs."

In general, entering the regular season is the real NBA.

On the court, the game has started, and the Heat have the ball.

After all, Whiteside still has a height advantage. The Hornets' starting height is not as high as that of the Heat. The tallest Al Jefferson is only 208 cm, and his average height is much lower than that of the Heat.

So when Dragic came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Bosh as soon as possible, and the others pulled away. Since the opponent is not tall, they should start from the inside.
