king of defenders

Chapter 538 The New Year's Eve Battle ([-])

Yes, the ultra-long three-pointer like just now can only be done occasionally, it is impossible to shoot like this every time, and the defender will not watch you take a shot after a loss, it must be seeing you cross the center line. It will come up and interfere with you, and the difficulty of making this kind of ball is very difficult, so it is difficult to have a second time.

However, Meng Yun did not intend to rely on this trick to win. His purpose was to force Paul to defend beyond the three-point line. Plunging headlong into the opponent's encirclement, there is still enough room to operate.

For example, this time, Meng Yun used his teammate's pick-and-roll to get rid of Paul, and it was barely enough to enter the three-point line by taking a step forward.

Meng Yun stopped, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it. He made a steady two-pointer and scored another two points.

"Not good." Paul frowned.

The situation was a bit difficult, Paul had to jump very forward, so that there was too much space between him and his teammates, if Griffin or Jordan didn't jump out, then Meng Yun would have it directly.

And when Griffin or Jordan jumps out, the Clippers' inside line is no longer impenetrable, and Anderson and McRoberts will pose a threat. In this case, Wesley Johnson and Jamal Crawford De had to throw away his defender and return to the inside to help make up the defense.

At this time, the Heat's outside line will have a good opportunity.

With a sound of "whoosh", Meng Yun scored the ball and gave it to Johnson who was outside the three-point line on the left. There was no one in front of Johnson. He adjusted a little, and this time he finally got it.

Swish!
The goal is scored, and the three-pointer is valid.

"Good job," Craig exclaimed excitedly.

"Hehe, Meng Yun is very smart." Spoelstra also smiled: "Although I know that the ultra-long three-pointer is a bit of luck, the Clippers dare not really let Meng Yun shoot the ultra-long three-pointer. You have to defend to a place more than one meter or two meters away from the three-point line. If Paul is alone, Meng Yun can easily get rid of it. If it is a double-team, the person who assists Paul in double-teaming must go up to the three-point line Going to double-team more than one meter away, there is no way to retreat after the double-team. With such a huge half court, our side is almost 4v3. All of a sudden, the Clippers' defensive strategy is self-defeating. "

Coach Rivers stood up abruptly, and his face began to change. As Spoelstra analyzed, the Clippers' defensive strategy has been self-defeating.

After thinking about it, Rivers called a timeout.

When the players came down, Rivers began to arrange: "Don't go up to double-team, just defend Meng alone. Paul, don't post too much, you are on the three-point line. If Meng wants to shoot one meter beyond the three-point line, then Just let him vote."

"Yes." Paul replied.

It can only be like this, after all, the defensive formation cannot be stretched too much. In comparison, the threat of making Meng Yun shoot a super long three-pointer is always much smaller than the threat of his mid-range shooting.

Here, Spoelstra still hasn't made any substitutions. He is very satisfied with Meng Yun's performance just now, and he is also interested. He wants to know how well Meng Yun can play with them with the current lineup?

As for the outcome of the game, it was second to none.

"Bros."

Spoelstra didn't make any substitutions or set up any tactics. Meng Yun went up on his own, stopped Anderson, Mike Roberts, Luol Deng, and Johnson, and said, "Anderson, Mike Roberts, you have to protect yourself." Rebounds, Luol Deng, Johnson, you should also pay attention to grabbing rebounds. The opponent will probably give up double-teaming later and let me shoot super long three-pointers. I must face the difficulties, so rebounds depend on you gone."

Sensing the firmness and trust in Meng Yun's tone, the four of Anderson all nodded in awe, "Go ahead and shoot, we have rebounds."

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

The two sides returned to the field and saw that the Heat were still in the previous lineup, without Wade or Whiteside, and the fans were not calm.

"What are you doing, still not on Wade?"

"With this lineup, the Clippers can't beat the Clippers. Meng played too well just now, but he can't maintain this state forever. And the Clippers are not fools. Just Meng alone, they will definitely arrange tactics in a targeted manner. "

"Whiteside, at least the inside defense will be better. Anderson and Mike Roberts can't do it. They are not the opponents of Jordan and Griffin at all, let them blow up."

People are talking, a lot of people are shouting, let Spoelstra replace Wade and Whiteside.

Guo Hai frowned and found it hard to understand. The competition between Meng Yun and Dragic was an internal matter of the Heat. Meng Yun didn't tell Guo Hai, so Guo Hai didn't know. Like the fans, it was difficult to understand. At this time, 5 minutes had passed in the second quarter, and it was time for the main force.

Amidst the shouts of the fans, the game continued.

The Clippers scored one when they came up, still playing inside, forcing the Heat to shrink their defense, and then missed the outside line, and Crawford hit a three-pointer.

Turning around, Meng Yun came to the frontcourt to take a look. Sure enough, Paul did not pounce, but just stopped at the three-point line. The positions of the others have not changed from before. The meaning is obvious. If you can shoot a super long three-pointer, you can shoot it.

"Hmph." Meng Yun snorted coldly and passed the ball to his teammate.

Seeing Meng Yun passing the ball, the Clippers players laughed. They really didn't dare to shoot. The one who advanced first was probably lucky. How could it be so easy to make a super long three-pointer?
But at this moment, Meng Yun moved to the left. Anderson mentioned the line and made a cover for Meng Yun, so that Meng Yun could completely get rid of Paul's entanglement and came to a place one meter beyond the left three-point line. The team's players switched defenses and rushed quickly, but Meng Yun was still one meter away from the three-point line, and the defender couldn't reach him in an instant.

Whoosh, Johnson passed the ball back.

Meng Yun catches the ball, jumps, and flicks his wrist.
Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

The auditorium was boiling, and the fans roared excitedly.

Coach Rivers frowned even tighter, with a straight face, I still don't believe you can keep shooting like this.

More than a minute later, Meng Yun made another shot. The counterattack advanced to a place more than one meter beyond the three-point line in the front court, and then he made a sudden shot, which made the defender unable to react. Everyone was startled, and then there was a "bang" , The basketball hit the rim, and the Clippers players breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Mike Roberts caught Jordan, and Anderson was in a good position. He took the offensive rebound and quickly threw it to the outside.

More than one meter away from the three-point line, Meng Yun caught the ball, looked at the basket, and jumped up just like that, making another ultra-long three-point shot.
