Chapter 547 This Is Like a Team

"Substitution."

The US team replaced Towns.

The world team also replaced Meng Yun, which caused another commotion among the fans.

"Hey, Downs went down and Meng also went down. Was this intentional?"

"Towns is really unlucky. Every time he meets Meng, he gets blown up. In the past few minutes, Meng scored 14 points, most of which were scored on Downs' head. I don't know how Downs is feeling at this time. It must be very frustrating, right?"

"Sure, didn't you see Downs' expression? He was completely confused. I feel a little sympathetic to him. He is also the No. [-] pick after all. How pitiful."

Many people are discussing and expressing sympathy for Downs.

Meng Yun sat down and high-fived his teammates one by one. Jokic leaned next to Meng Yun and smiled like a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms: "Meng, you beat Downs to death."

"Really?" Meng Yun smiled and said, "That's good, I did it on purpose."

"." Jokic's expression was frozen and he couldn't react. Shouldn't Meng say humbly, "I don't want to do this either"?

On the court, the game continues.

The world team still has the upper hand. Meng Yun broke out in the first 8 minutes, but at this time it was Porzingis. He first cooperated with his teammates, dunked alley-oops, and then hit a three-pointer from the outside. , Blooming inside and outside, quickly scored 5 points, helping the world team firmly take the lead.

Until the end of the first quarter, the point difference remained at more than 39 points. At 28:11, the world team led by [-] points.

Entering the second quarter, Towns quickly returned to the court. Meng Yun did not play, and the US team began to counterattack. Towns seemed to have adjusted and played very well. In addition, Russell and Clarkson also scored three-pointers. , After some indiscriminate bombing, the US team has narrowed the point difference to only 6 points.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the World Team is not very serious about defense. After all, this is just a rookie game with a performance nature. Everyone aims to show themselves.

"beep"

Team World requested a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Meng Yun returned to the field, along with Jokic, Hezonia, Wiggins, and Mudiay.

The US team also made personnel adjustments, Towns, Noel, Parker, Clarkson, Russell.

Downs stared at Meng Yun with sharp eyes, and whispered to himself: "Meng, I won't just admit defeat like this. I can lose once, twice, or three times, but I won't keep losing."

It has to be said that Towns did have some outstanding features in becoming the No. 20 pick. At least he will not give up easily. Although he will also be disappointed and disappointed, everyone will, not to mention that he is only [-] years old and still a young man.

Sensing the look in Downs' eyes, Meng Yun smiled indifferently. He was not worried about Downs, because he had full confidence in defeating Downs.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Wiggins' shot hit the iron.

Towns took the rebound and passed it to Russell. Russell faced Meng Yun after reaching the frontcourt. He frowned slightly. Although he was not convinced, his reason told him that Meng Yun was very strong and difficult to deal with.

After hesitating for a while, Russell did not play singles after all, and passed the ball to Jabari Parker. Parker bent down, took a tentative step, and then suddenly started, hitting the basket with a one-handed dunk.

"This defense." Meng Yun frowned slightly: "Wiggins didn't take the defense seriously, and was passed by with an easy acceleration. Jokic and Hezonia behind him didn't go to make up the defense, just watched Parker dunk. Although this is a rookie game, there is no need to be too serious, but now the score is almost overtaken by the opponent, so we should be more serious, right?"

In the next few rounds, the defense of the world team remained the same, while the US team seized the opportunity and chased the point difference to only 1 point in one fell swoop.

Meng Yun stopped his teammates: "Brothers, I know this is a rookie game, but a rookie game is also a game, isn't it? We are standing on this court, and there are so many fans watching us in the auditorium. Shouldn't we work hard to fight for it?" Victory?"

Several people were shocked.

Jokic was the first to speak and said, "You're right, I don't want to lose to the guys from the US team. Are our international players weaker than them?"

"Correct."

"I understand."

"Don't worry, I will defend well."

Others also spoke one after another.

Meng Yun stretched out his hand, and Jokic and others also stretched out their hands. The hands of several people overlapped and shouted in unison: "Come on!"

For a moment, a strange feeling rose from the hearts of several people. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Meng Yun also laughed, this is like a team.

"attack!"

"attack!"

The World Team launched an attack. Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt and gestured to Jokic. Although we are not a team and there is no tacit understanding, we are all professional players after all, and we all have basic tactical skills. See Jokic understood Meng Yun's gesture and immediately stepped forward to pick and roll Meng Yun.

Generally speaking, there are very few tactics in games such as the rookie game and the All-Star game. First, everyone is not familiar with them, and second, it is unnecessary, because the defense is not serious.

But if there is a pick and roll, then it will definitely be easier to play.

With a sound of "whoosh", Meng Yun used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Russell, took advantage of the situation and went inside, attracted the defender and then threw the ball to the basket. Jokic flew up and dunked with both hands.

"nice shot."

"pretty."

In the audience, the fans applauded loudly.

Jokic turned around and high-fived Meng Yun.

Starting from this ball, the American team found that the defensive intensity of the world team has become different.

Faced with the sudden increase in defensive strength, the US team was caught off guard and couldn't adapt. The World Team seized the opportunity to play a shock wave of 8:0, which opened the point difference to 9 points.

Team USA called a timeout.

"Good job."

"Haha, that's the way to fight."

"If they want to overtake the score, let them dream."

Meng Yun and the others walked off the court and high-fived each other.

Looking at the US team, his eyes fell on Downs. Meng Yun raised his brows, but he was a little surprised. Earlier, Downs told him that he would not admit defeat and would definitely defeat him, but he didn't expect that Downs hadn't been able to do so during this time. Provoking Meng Yun seemed to have matured suddenly, knowing that it was useless.

Soon, the pause is over.

LaVine and Okafor were replaced, and Towns remained on the court. With Parker and Clarkson, the intention of the US team is obvious, which is to eat inside.

On the World Team side, Jokic, Capela, Wiggins, Mudiay, and Meng Yun haven't changed much, but when LaVine came to the court, he singled out Meng Yun, and after an accelerated breakthrough, he dunked.

LaVine's athletic ability is very good, the first step is very fast, Meng Yun was caught off guard, and it was too late to turn around and chase, so he could only watch LaVine fly up, like a magic soldier descending from the sky, and the terrifying bounce was fully revealed. Jokic was completely reduced to a background board in front of him, and with a "beep", the fans were boiling.

Amid the noise, LaVine walked towards Meng Yun and suddenly said, "Meng, I suddenly don't want to wait until the dunk contest."

Meng Yun frowned: "What do you mean?"

"What do you think?" LaVine grinned, turned and left, and said, "I've already deducted one, it's up to you next."
