king of defenders

Chapter 466 Opponent?you are not
USA, Miami.

In the American Airlines Arena, the game continued.

This time the Timberwolves coach Sam Mitchell replaced Towns with Gorgui Dieng. After making some tactical arrangements, he clapped his hands and signaled the players to play.

For the Heat, Spoelstra also replaced Dragic and Wade, replaced Johnson and Green, let Meng Yun play the 1st position, Johnson played the 2nd position, and Green 3rd. No., Bosh and Whiteside remain unchanged.

At this time, 9 minutes had passed in the first quarter, the score was 22:16, and the Heat still led.

After playing for more than a minute after the timeout, Spoelstra replaced Meng Yun and replaced him with Joseph Young. Joseph Young's position is rather embarrassing. Dragic is the 1st position, and so is Meng Yun. In the No. 1 position, the two can basically spend all the time in this position. The two play in rotation or at the same time, and can achieve a seamless connection, so that there is very little playing time for other No. 1 players.

Joseph Young is still lucky. He can play more or less a few minutes in each game, and it is not garbage time. Benno Udri, who is also No. 1, has no playing time at all. He played 9 games in the regular season. Only played one game, still in garbage time, so far the statistics are still 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist.

The nba is so cruel.

Meng Yun came down and sat next to Wade.

Wade pouted at the Timberwolves rest area and said, "Towns is competing with you. Although the dunk you just made on his head was beautiful, it's only the first quarter. He might not give up so easily."

"It's okay." Meng Yun smiled lightly: "He will admit defeat."

"Oh?" Wade frowned and laughed.

The first quarter ended quickly, and the Heat led the Timberwolves by 29 points 22:7.

Entering the second quarter, Meng Yun returned to the court again, and soon Towns was also sent up. Obviously, the Timberwolves coach said something to Towns during the break. Towns reduced his individual singles and used himself more to attract Defense, creating opportunities for teammates, or looking for opportunities to cut to the basket.

I have to say that Towns' talent is very good, he is very sensitive to timing, he can always cut at the right time, and successfully score the ball.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Towns received a dunk in the air.

Falling from the air, Downs looked at Meng Yun who was beside him, stopped and said, "Meng, you are a formidable opponent, but I will prove that I am stronger than you."

Meng Yun was noncommittal, turned around and left.

Downs choked, feeling like he was pretending to be ignored. With a muffled snort, he also turned around and ran towards his own half. After taking his position, he looked at Meng Yun, staring at Meng Yun.

"Run position."

Meng Yun dribbled the ball with one hand, directed his teammates to run with the other, and then suddenly accelerated. He was facing Zach LaVine. LaVine reacted quickly and immediately retreated to get stuck in the position first.But at this moment, a strong force struck, and Lavin's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but staggered back, a little surprised: "This guy looks similar to me, not strong at all, why is he so strong?"

LaVine is a speed and space guard with fast speed, good jumping and flexible response, especially his jumping is very good. His dunks are very interesting to watch, but strength is not his strong point, but he feels that it should not be too difficult to confront Meng Yun. It would be a disadvantage, after all, Meng Yun didn't look strong, and he didn't have any explosive muscle lines.

But when the two came into contact and confronted each other physically, Lavin immediately realized that Meng Yun's strength was stronger than it appeared on the surface, at least much stronger than him.

laugh!
Squeezing LaVine away, Meng Yun stepped on the brakes, threw the ball with one hand, and sent the ball into the Nets.

Towns jumped high but missed the air. He didn't expect Meng Yun to use a throw. The parabola was too high. Even though he jumped high, he still couldn't touch the ball, so he had no choice but to do so.

After the ball, Meng Yun started scoring mode.

Tens of seconds later, Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt and set up a pick-and-roll with his teammates to form a defense change. Towns rushed forward to defend Meng Yun, raised one hand, and bent over at the same time, ready to fight.

"Bang bang."

The basketball jumped on the floor, like an elf, and returned to Meng Yun's hands obediently every time. Meng Yun crossed steps continuously, and then took a step forward abruptly.

Downs' heart skipped a beat and he quickly retreated.

At this moment, Meng Yun withdrew, and his feet returned to the outside of the three-point line. As if springs were installed on his feet, his feet lightly touched the floor, and he bounced up with a flick of his wrists.

Swish!
There was a soft sound, and Downs' face became gloomy.

There was another burst of cheers from the audience, and Wade, who was sitting on the sidelines, smiled and praised: "This step-back three-pointer is good, it's a bit like Harden."

This step-back three-pointer does have the taste of Harden, and the movements are very similar, except that Harden is from the left, while Meng Yun is from the right, just like a mirror image copy.

In order to learn this skill, Meng Yun put in a lot of sweat.

Seeing Meng Yun scoring consecutively, Towns couldn't take it anymore, and became a little impatient in offense. He took the ball and played singles, but Whiteside seized the opportunity and slapped the ball away.

"Meng." Whiteside yelled at Meng Yun: "See? I just don't want to make a move, otherwise it would be a trivial matter to teach a rookie."

"Hehe." Meng Yun rolled his eyes.

On the sidelines, Timberwolves coach Sam Mitchell frowned. Towns was too anxious for the ball and played too easily. Singles is not the same style of play. He shook his head and asked for a substitution, and Towns was replaced.

Watching Downs go down, Meng Yun didn't feel the slightest pleasure.

"An opponent? Maybe you regard me as an opponent, but unfortunately, I don't regard you as an opponent." Meng Yun didn't want to compete with Downs, that was purely wishful thinking of Downs.

For Meng Yun, it is not his pursuit to compete with the rookies of the same class as Towns and Okafor. He also has opponents in his mind, but they are not Towns and Okafor.

Perhaps because of Meng Yun's poor statistics in the regular season, the outside world began to question his ability, and even some players had such an illusion, but Meng Yun never doubted himself, because he could feel his progress, And know exactly what you can do.

He averaged 9 points per game in 11.6 regular season games. This is not Meng Yun's full strength. He spent more time and energy on adjusting himself and adapting to the game.

If Meng Yun broke out with all his strength, there would definitely be more than that in a game.

"9 games in the regular season, I have almost adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the regular season. And the coach also promised me enough playing time, so let's start today and give my best." Meng Yun took a deep breath and clenched his fists , and then let go, feeling my blood start to boil, 9 regular season games, more than half a month of precipitation, almost done.
