Chapter 543 Becoming a Core Player
This is a perfect game. The Heat defeated their opponents and won the victory. Meng Yun even scored a game-high 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. He is the undoubted star of the game.

In the final interview with the reporter, what Meng Yun said made countless Chinese fans even more excited. It felt as if this game also had its own credit.

City N.

Meng Xin jumped up happily and kept praising Meng Yun. Du Xiaoqian came out of the kitchen and glared at Meng Xin: "What's the noise? Quiet me, it's Chinese New Year."

Meng Xin stopped, sat back on the sofa, rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk, isn't it because my brother didn't invite you to America, why do you always let me vent your anger?"

Du Xiaoqian became angry when she was said to be the center of the matter, and she wanted to grab Meng Xin when she came over: "You little girl, you're going to turn your back on it, don't you dare to talk to me like that."

"Okay, okay." Meng Haowei quickly stopped him: "It's Chinese New Year, let's calm down for a while."

"Humph." Du Xiaoqian snorted, turned and went back to the kitchen.

After a while, there was a sound of ping-pong-pong in the kitchen, apparently still venting her anger, Meng Xin looked at Meng Haowei, Meng Haowei had an expression that I didn't hear anything.

City D.

This is a newly built community, located in the city, but not in the city center, but even if it is not in the bustling area of ​​the city center, a house costs hundreds of thousands, and Jiang Xiaoai's parents have saved half their lives to buy it.

Jiang Xiaoai's family is not considered rich and powerful, it can only be said to be a well-off family.

Jiang Xiaoai's parents have only one daughter, and they love her very much. The family sits together and watches TV. Jiang Xiaoai wants to watch Meng Yun's game. Although the parents don't understand and are not interested, they still happily accompany her.

It was fine at first, but when the game ended, the daughter's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Xiao Ai." The mother asked, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Xiaoai smiled, but her parents didn't know her very well, and they could tell at a glance that her smile was forced, and there was even sadness in her eyes.

What's going on, everything was fine just now.

USA, Miami.

The game was over, Meng Yun went home with Guo Hai and Guo Shuyao, and the other players also left, but Spoelstra, Craig, Rostern, McAdoo, and Howard stayed.

In the head coach's office, several people were seated.

"Everyone." Spoelstra said: "I keep you here because I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Several people looked at Spoelstra.

Spoelstra said: "You have also seen today's game. Meng Yun played very beautifully. I don't need to talk about his talent. Even the blind can see it. What I want to talk about is his strength. Originally I intend to let him compete with Dragic for a period of one month, and then we will see the results, whoever plays better and is more helpful to the team, let whoever plays the starter and the other as a substitute."

"But now, I don't think it's necessary to continue."

"The result is already clear. Meng is already above Dragic in terms of talent and strength, and his growth rate is very fast. He is now much more mature than other rookies, even Johnson, Ennis, etc. Players in the second and third grades have to be more mature."

"I think the time is ripe." Spoelstra paused and emphasized his tone: "It's time to establish Meng Yun as a core player."

As soon as these words came out, Craig and the others were shocked.

Reminiscent of Spoelstra's uncharacteristic formation today, several people immediately understood. No wonder Meng Yun and Dragic were not allowed to share playing time today. Meng Yun obviously had more time than Dragic. It turns out that the coach has already made a decision.

"Coach." McAdoo asked: "I remember you asked today, is it possible for Meng Yun and Dragic to coexist? I remember you sent Meng Yun and Dragic together at that time , should want to give Dragic a chance at the end, and hope that he can coexist with Meng Yun?"

"Well." Spoelstra nodded and sighed: "To be honest, Dragic is a very good player and is fully qualified to start, but his position overlaps with Meng Yun. You also see Now, Meng Yun can only fully display his talent and strength in the No. 1 position. If Dragic and him cannot coexist, then Dragic can only play as a substitute."

Several people were silent.

This is not a new problem. Everyone knew that there would be such a day when the pick-and-roll decided to let Meng Yun compete with Dragic.

Howard frowned: "I'm afraid Dragic is not willing to play as a substitute."

Spoelstra doesn't speak, and others don't speak. This is another problem. If Dragic is unwilling to play as a substitute, how should he be arranged?
"Okay." Spoelstra said: "Going back to the previous question, I think Meng Yun can be established as a core player. The next step is to form a new main lineup around him and Wade. I think so, the starting lineup consists of Whiteside, Luol Deng, Green, Wade, and Meng Yun."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"This lineup is fine, and today's game has been verified."

"can."

The four expressed their opinions backwards, expressing their agreement.

There is no doubt about establishing Meng Yun as the core lineup. There is no doubt about Meng Yun's performance, and there is no problem with the new lineup. Needless to say, the center must be Whiteside. Luol Deng can also play power forward, of course. Certainly not as good as Bosh, Green playing small forward is not a problem, and the back line Wade and Meng Yun are fairly balanced without obvious shortcomings.

The matter was settled in this way, and then several people began to discuss tactics. The new lineup inevitably required new tactics, which was also a headache.

Coast Villa.

Today is New Year's Eve, one of the most important festivals in Chinese tradition.

Because of the competition, it was already late when Meng Yun and the others returned home, but Guo Shuyao quickly prepared a table of meals. In Guo Hai's words, today is New Year's Eve, and these are all necessary.

The three sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing while eating, which made Meng Yun feel very comfortable. There were neon lights outside the window, and darkness was farther away, but the darkness was blocked and could not be transmitted here.

There is nothing but conviviality and warmth in this villa.

"This is the feeling of home, so good." Meng Yun was very happy. He was sent to his grandfather's house when he was a child, and went to Guo Hai's house when he was in middle school. Although both his grandfather and Guo Hai were very kind to him, Meng Yun always felt that something was missing. , until now, with his own house and eating with Guo Shuyao and Guo Hai, he finally found what he was missing.
