king of defenders

Chapter 525 Adventure
In a blink of an eye, the first half is over.

The score was 62:47, and the Heat trailed by as much as 15 points.

The main problem is inside. Without Bosh, the Bucks' Antetokounmpo has no one to limit. Whether it is on the defensive end or the offensive end, Antetokounmpo has become the biggest problem for the Heat.

After only halftime, Antetokounmpo scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

On the other hand, for the Heat, there are very few inside points. Whiteside also got 7 rebounds, but only scored 5 points, which is really difficult to support the inside.And Luol Deng is not good either. Compared with Antetokounmpo, his running and jumping ability is more than one level behind. He is completely beaten by Antetokounmpo.

Meng Yun's hit rate is not bad, but he doesn't take many shots. Today's lineup and tactics don't revolve around Meng Yun, so he doesn't have many opportunities.

Mainly relying on Wade, Wade scored 18 points at halftime, which is already very good.

"Although it is very risky, you must try it." Spoelstra glanced at the scoreboard, gritted his teeth, and summoned Craig, Rostern, Howard, and McAdoo, "I have an idea. "

After listening, Craig and the others were taken aback.

Howard was the first to object: "No, this is too risky. We are now without Bosh, and the situation is already very bad. If we fight like this, I am afraid it will be even worse."

"That's right." Rostern also frowned and said, "Our lineup can't be messed up anymore. If it gets messed up, we won't be able to fight at all. It's better to be conservative."

Craig's face changed for a while, but he didn't speak.

McAdoo said nothing.

Looking at his assistants, Spoelstra sternly growled, "Conservative? Conservative is useful. Didn't you see the first half of the game? And last season, we also tried to be conservative. ,and then?"

Several people were speechless.

Spoelstra snorted: "Our current results are not easy to come by. Do you want to just throw them away? It's only halfway through the regular season now. If you tell me to play conservatively, it's hard to say whether we can make it to the playoffs." .Even if they can make it to the playoffs, what competitiveness will they have when they make it to the playoffs?"

Before a few people could speak, Spoelstra said again: "Okay, I've made up my mind, let's do it this way. Whether it's adventurous or crazy, I'll give it a try."

Seeing Spoelstra's insistence, Craig, Howard, McAdoo, and Rostern looked at each other and stopped persuading, after all, Spoelstra is the head coach.

Having made up his mind, Spoelstra no longer hesitated, came to the locker room, clapped his hands, and said: "We are now behind by more than ten points, but it doesn't matter, there is still the second half." Arrangement, "Wait for Whiteside, Haslem, Luol Deng, Wade, Meng Yun, you guys come on."

"what?"

"This"

Hearing this, the players were all taken aback, a little surprised, and a few of them subconsciously looked at Dragic, thinking that Dragic wouldn't make it?

Generally speaking, at the beginning of the third quarter, the main force is played. After hearing what the coach encouraged just now, it is obvious that he does not intend to give up the game just like this, so why not Dragic?

It stands to reason that Whiteside, Luol Deng, Meng Yun, Wade, and Dragic should be on.

Dragic frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"Listen to me." Spoelstra didn't explain, and spread out the tactical board directly, while drawing the tactics, he said: "Wait for Luol Deng to play the 3rd position, and Meng to play the 1st position. Haslem , You just need to do a good job of defense, let me keep an eye on Antetokounmpo, even if you can't prevent him from scoring, you can't make him too easy."

"Yes." Haslem replied.

Those people on the team, why Dragic didn't play has little to do with Haslem, and he doesn't want to think about so many useless things, just listen to the coach's arrangement.

As for the meaning of the coach, of course he understands, if it doesn't work, he will make a foul.

"Meng Yun." Spoelstra looked at Meng Yun: "You play the 1st position, organize well, control the rhythm of the game, you can't follow the opponent, you have to play our rhythm. Also, there is If there is an opportunity, we should also actively shoot, you and Wade are our most important scoring points, understand?"

"Understood." Meng Yun nodded. Although he didn't quite understand whether the coach's arrangement was temporary or had any deep meaning, Meng Yun naturally liked being able to return to the No. 1 position.

Later, Spoelstra asked some questions and arranged several tactics in detail before giving up.

The second half begins.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Heat had five Meng Yun, Wade, Luol Deng, Haslem, and Whiteside. The Bucks sent their starters, Greg Monroe, Giannis -Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton.

The inside combination of Antetokounmpo and Monroe took advantage of the first half, and the Bucks got the sweetness. Naturally, they continued to play like this in the second half.

"beep"

Bucks attack.

Still focusing on the inside line, Milton was a little surprised to see Meng Yun defending him after crossing the center line, but he didn't care, and quickly passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo took the ball and played with his back, staring at Haslem and walking towards the basket. Although Haslem was average in ability, his defense was fierce enough to make Antetokounmpo feel uncomfortable. His body hurt from the collision, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and passed the ball to the outside.

After two more passes, the basketball returned to Middleton's hands. Middleton crossed consecutively, then broke through suddenly, and went inside.

"boom!"

Middleton missed a layup, Whiteside took the rebound and quickly passed it to Meng Yun.

Meng Yun glanced at the front court and saw that the opponent retreated quickly, so he was not in such a hurry. He dribbled the ball across the center line, scanned the situation on the field, and asked for a pick-and-roll: "Pick-and-roll!"

With this pick-and-roll, Meng Yun threw Middleton away and moved to the right. Monroe was delayed when he came up. Meng Yun raised his center of gravity.

Behind, Antetokounmpo made up the defense and rushed to Meng Yun.

Whoosh!
An orange shadow flashed, and Meng Yun passed the ball, not to Wade outside the left three-point line, nor to Whiteside who gave a free throw at the top of the arc, or to Ronaldo outside the right three-point line. Deng, but a very stealthy touchdown pass, the basketball bounced off Antetokounmpo's feet and flew towards Haslem behind him.

"Bang!"

Haslem was ecstatic, this is a good opportunity, he hugged the ball, and when Antetokounmpo couldn't react, he jumped up and dunked with both hands, roaring excitedly.
