Chapter 527 Competition

"Snapped!"

Thugs, the ball goes in.

Dragic glanced back at the basket and waved his arms: "Yeah."

This is a 2+1. Dragic's breakthrough layup caused a foul by the opponent and successfully scored the ball. The referee made a gesture to indicate that the goal was valid, and an additional free throw was required.

Swish!
Dragic steadily made an extra penalty.

At this time, the Heat had chased the point difference to only 4 points. Dragic played very well in the past few minutes. He felt the threat from Meng Yun. Although Spoelstra did not say it clearly, Dragic Ji Qi knew that he had to play well enough to keep his position.

So in the past few minutes, he has been engrossed and tried his best to organize the offense and score a lot of individuals, which makes people feel bright.

"Dragic's strength is still very strong." Rosteen praised.

"Well." Spoelstra nodded and looked up at the timer. There was 1 minute left in the third quarter. He didn't plan to make a substitution, so he let Dragic continue.

This section is an attempt, a little risky, but the result is very good. Meng Yun and Dragic shared the time of this section, and the two played half and half, and they both played vigorously in position 1. With the excellent performance of the two, the Heat can gradually narrow the point difference to the current 4 points.

Now that the effect is good, Spoelstra's idea has become more firm, let Meng Yun and Dragic both play the 1st position, and the two will share the playing time. even better.

Soon, the third quarter ended and the Heat trailed by 5 points.

"Meng Yun, come on later," Spoelstra called.

Since Meng Yun and Dragic are to compete, it should be as fair as possible, including other players with them in addition to playing time, such as Wade, Whiteside, Luol Deng, and substitute players .

In short, Spoelstra consciously made the two as fair as possible, playing a few minutes with the main players and a few minutes with the bench.

"This way the lineup is too chaotic, and there is no fixed system for security." Rostern smiled wryly, but didn't say anything. He knew this, and Spoelstra knew it, but the most important thing at this time was not this. Even including the outcome of the game, temporary concessions can be made.

Entering the fourth quarter, Meng Yun played with several substitutes on the field.

This did not make Meng Yun uncomfortable, on the contrary he felt very comfortable, after all, he had played with a substitute lineup before, and he was very familiar with Johnson, Ennis, Anderson and others.

"Meng." Johnson and Meng Yun clapped their hands and said excitedly, "I can finally play with you. I really miss those days."

"Yeah." Anderson also came and said with a smile: "Although I don't know what the coach thinks, but playing with you is always a pleasure."

Meng Yun smiled and looked forward: "Brothers, it's time for us to attack."

In fact, Meng Yun has already guessed some of Spoelstra's thoughts.

Since this is the case, there is no reason for Meng Yun not to go all out. This is a fair competition, and he will not have a psychological burden—not to mention, it is for the team.

"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun came to the front court, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then quickly broke through. The opponent was also on the bench. Meng Yun was defended by Jerry Bayless. Bayless was 191 cm tall, much shorter than Meng Yun, with speed, He is not as good as Meng Yun in terms of jumping and other aspects. A pick-and-roll Meng Yun threw him away, went inside, and jumped up against Bucks center Miles Plumlee.

The two bodies collided with a bang.

"It's now." Meng Yun's eyes glowed. That's what he wanted. He deliberately found a body to fight against, forcing Plumlee to make no further movements, while Meng Yun curled up, stretched his waist and abdomen, and stayed in the air. For a split second, he completely got rid of Plumlee's defensive threat and flicked his wrist.

Swish!
The goal was scored, and the score was 3 points.

This ball showed Meng Yun's strong personal ability, excellent breakthrough ability, confrontation ability, ability to stay in the air, and excellent shooting touch, all of which are undoubtedly revealed.

On the sidelines, Dragic looked solemn, and thought to himself: "Meng's talent is indeed terrifying. His jumping, speed, and explosive power are all better than mine. Compared with him, what is my advantage?"

Swish!
With a soft sound, Johnson hit a three-pointer and the Heat overtook the score.

Johnson waved his fist excitedly, ran towards Meng Yun, gave Meng Yun a high five, and praised: "Meng, your pass is so good, I'm completely empty."

This is an assist from Meng Yun. After playing for 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, Meng Yun contributed 4 points and 2 assists, leading the substitute lineup to overtake the score.

There is no doubt that Meng Yun is also at home in this lineup.

"beep"

The Bucks requested a timeout.

Coach Jason Kidd looked gloomy and frowned. He couldn't understand Spoelstra's thoughts, and he couldn't understand how the Heat played. Let Dragic play with a substitute lineup for a while , Let Meng Yun play with a substitute lineup for a while, it looks like a complete mess, but it works.

"Let me talk." Kidd spread out the tactical board.

Here, Spoelstra also made some instructions, but the personnel have not changed.

Soon the timeout ended, the two sides came back, the Bucks carried out a personnel rotation, Middleton came back and replaced Jerry Bayless, obviously Bayless had played badly before, and the restrictions on Meng Yun were almost zero.

When he came back, Meng Yun immediately felt the pressure from the defense. Not only Middleton, but others were also staring at him, like a beast waiting for an opportunity, and might pounce on him at any time.

"It seems that the opponent is planning to restrict me, because I am the core of this lineup, as long as I am restricted, then our lineup will not have much combat power." Meng Yun narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, "Hmph, want to It's not that easy to restrain me."

Next, Meng Yun turned on the scoring mode.

The opponent just wants to restrict him, and the more he is like this, the less he can dodge. He must face up to the difficulties and defeat the opponent from the front. Once he retreats and dodges, it will be a blow to his own morale.

This lineup is completely centered on Meng Yun. If Meng Yun plays well, the others will also play well. If Meng Yun does not perform well, the others will die.

"Pull away."

Meng Yun made a gesture, faced Middleton with a continuous dribble under the crotch, and then his left shoulder sank. Middleton's heart jumped. He was afraid of Meng Yun's speed and subconsciously moved to the right.

The next moment, Meng Yun started, but not from the left, but from the right. Like a phantom, Meng Yun rushed past Middleton in an instant, killing the Bucks inside.
