Chapter 517 Meng Yun vs Jimmy Butler

Chicago, United Center.

Today is the Heat's away game against the Bulls. The game has already started. There are many fans in the auditorium, including many Chinese fans. They hold banners and signs to cheer for Meng Yun.

Meng Yun was selected as the All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference. The most encouraged are Chinese fans and overseas Chinese fans. The era of Yao Ming has passed, but it seems that the era of Meng Yun is coming.

All the Chinese fans broke out with great enthusiasm. Many people came to watch the game, and some people waved the bright red national flag. The flag was dancing among the crowd, which was soul-stirring.

On the court, Meng Yun was shocked: "That is our national flag, and the bright red color is the pride of us Chinese. Thank you, my compatriots, and the fans who support me."

A rush of hot blood surged through Meng Yun's body.

Meng Yun withdrew his gaze, came to the frontcourt, ran back quickly, and asked Dragic for the ball: "The ball."

Dragic quickly passed the ball over, Meng Yun took the ball, and a figure flashed in front of him, Jimmy Butler had already pounced on him. He is 201 centimeters tall and serves as a small forward, while Meng Yun's height has risen to 203 centimeters now , in the X tactical system, Meng Yun is more like a small forward, so under normal circumstances, Meng Yun is against the opponent's No. 3 position. Although Meng Yun does not like the No. 3 position very much, he prefers the No. 1 position. Play number [-].

"Meng, come on." Jimmy Butler looked at Meng Yun with a serious expression: "Let me see your progress in the past few months."

"Don't worry, I will never let you down." Meng Yun grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

Meng Yun and Butler are no strangers. They had trained together for a while at the beginning, and they would fight Butler one-on-one every day. Of course, they were almost always abused.

But the two are still friends. Although the relationship with Butler is not as good as with Wade, Paul, and Anthony, it feels amazing to be facing each other on the court at this time.

laugh!
Meng Yun started, and the speed exploded completely.

"It's so fast." Butler was taken aback, and he couldn't calm down. "How could he be so fast? It's much faster than before."

In an instant, Meng Yun almost completely passed Butler, which shocked Butler.

This is the first time the two sides have met in the regular season this season. Although Butler knows that Meng Yun has improved a lot in the past few months, he still knows more about Meng Yun when he trained together a few months ago. Meng Yun's speed was already very fast back then, but it was by no means as amazing as it is now.

Although he was surprised, Butler didn't react slowly, and immediately retreated. He knew that there was no way to stop Meng Yun, so he turned around neatly and launched a chase.

Meng Yun rushed past Butler, but there was Gasol in front of him, and Butler was chasing him behind him.

"Oh, that's just right." Meng Yun smiled slightly and jumped up to face Gasol.

Gasol also jumped up, raised his arm high, and tried to block the shot, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that Meng Yun was not shooting at all, he just threw the ball high.

"Not good." Gasol's face changed slightly: "It's an empty pick."

From the rear, Whiteside slammed in and flew up with an alley-oop dunk. The huge force severely deformed the basket and pulled the car, and almost got a "violation".

After falling from the basket, Whiteside ran towards Meng Yun and said excitedly: "Meng, your pass is really beautiful. It is a pleasure to play with you."

Meng Yun smiled and retreated quickly.

The Bulls reached, and Derrick Rose passed the ball to Butler.

"Do you want to return one?" Meng Yun stepped forward and said with a smile.

"What do you think?" Butler gestured to his teammates and said, "Meng, your progress is unbelievable. Your speed, strength, jumping, and skills are all improved compared to a few months ago." It has become more and more difficult for me to guard you. However, you can’t guard me, I want to score, you can’t stop me.”

Meng Yun frowned, ready to fight.

Butler is not talking big, Meng Yun has played against him more than once a few months ago, and he is very clear about Butler's strength, which is definitely an All-Star level.

"I am coming."

Butler moved, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and then suddenly raised his center of gravity. Meng Yun's heart jumped, and he subconsciously stood on tiptoe, worried that Butler would make a three-pointer. He has the strength.

At this moment, Butler suddenly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to break through from the right. Meng Yun knew he had been fooled, so he turned around and chased after him. Seeing Butler take off, Meng Yun also jumped up and reached out to block the shot.

Unfortunately, it was empty.

Butler seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head. He pulled the lever dexterously in the air, switched to the other side and hit a reverse basket. He successfully avoided Meng Yun's chasing hat and scored the ball.

"Sure enough." Meng Yun said in awe: "I have improved a lot in the past few months, and my physical fitness and skills have improved a lot. But this is not enough. It is still difficult to defend against a player like Butler."

After all, Butler's strength is definitely at the All-Star level, so it's not surprising that Meng Yun can't guard him.

Moreover, he might not be able to guard against Meng Yun.

"Pull away."

Meng Yun made a gesture, everyone pulled away, Butler rushed forward, Meng Yun bent over, quickly dribbled the ball under the crotch, swinging his shoulders back and forth, and the speed became faster and faster.

Butler narrowed his eyes, looked solemn, and thought: "Meng's speed is too fast, and now his skills and surprise are much better than a few months ago, there are a lot of fake moves, and it is more and more difficult to prevent him from breaking through. Difficult."

Against a player with Meng Yun's speed, the defender is most afraid of breaking through, because the speed is too fast, and the attacker itself is in a favorable position. The defender is in a passive position, and if he is not careful, he will be passed by .

For example, Iverson back then was the speed king of the NBA. His breakthrough was unrivaled in the world. Iverson is only 183 cm tall, which is a disadvantage.

But Meng Yun is 203 centimeters tall. Once he breaks into the inside line, it will be troublesome.

"not good."

Suddenly, Meng Yun leaned forward, butler's heart twitched, and he subconsciously took a step back.

But at this moment, Meng Yun retreated instead of advancing. He took a quick step back, put his feet back outside the three-point line, lifted the ball up, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball crossed an arc and accurately entered the net. .

"Hehe." Craig said with a happy smile, "Harden is getting more and more proficient in using this step back step."

"It's also because Meng Yun's three-pointer is stable enough. He has amazing speed and can shoot stably, which is rare." Spoelstra also smiled.

When a player has the speed that is unrivaled in the world, you have to beware of his breakthrough, but if he still has a stable outside shot, it is even more terrifying.
