king of defenders

Chapter 604 G4, the battle of the dead

Indiana, Banks Life Fieldhouse.

The fourth game of the series started, which is a key game. If the Pacers win, they can get the match point. With a 3:1 lead in the series, the Heat have little hope of coming back.

So for the Pacers, they need to win this game.

As far as the Heat are concerned, this game must not be lost. Losing this game may mean losing the entire series and will withdraw from the playoffs stage.

There is no doubt that this game will be very intense, so there are extraordinarily many fans in the auditorium, which filled the entire arena. There are many Heat fans among them. Many of them are not locals, but came from other places. Come over, travel hundreds, or even thousands of miles, to cheer for the Heat.

A chilling and tense atmosphere lingered in the entire arena.

"Meng Yun." Spoelstra looked at Meng Yun and said in a deep voice: "If the opponent is still double-teaming Wade, then follow the previous game. You have unlimited fire rights, just attack."

"Coach." Meng Yun was startled. He didn't expect the coach to trust him so much after the last defeat. Facing the coach's gaze, he nodded heavily: "Yes."

There was no rhetoric, no promises, but Meng Yun secretly vowed that even if he tried his best, he would fight this game well and win this game.

Can't lose anymore!
"Wade." Spoelstra looked at Wade again and said, "This game is very important, we can't afford to lose."

"I understand." Wade nodded. He didn't need the coach to tell him that he understood that Meng Yun couldn't be allowed to fight alone. As the leader of the team, he should stand up, even if the opponent double-teamed him?Double-teaming is not a panacea. When Wade was at his peak, opponents often double-teamed him. Isn't it still impossible to limit him?
Spoelstra finally looked at Luol Deng, Green, and Whiteside, and told the three of them, but didn't say much, because Spoelstra could see that the players didn't need his encouragement , everyone is ready to fight, and everyone will do their best to win.

In the auditorium, Zhao Hao and Bill Duffy all came.

Bill Duffy didn't want to come, but this was a crucial battle. After thinking about it, he finally came.

"Zhao." Bill Duffy asked, "Do you think Meng Yun and the others can win?"

"Of course." Zhao Hao replied.

Bill Duffy was dissatisfied with this answer. He always answered this question every time, but in his heart, he also hoped that Meng Yun and the others could win.

The game starts soon.

Players from both sides came to the court, the Heat got the ball, Meng Yun advanced to the frontcourt, Hill rushed forward, Meng Yun still passed to Wade, and the next moment, the Pacers double-teamed again.

"Sure enough." Meng Yun thought to himself, not surprised.

The Pacers used this strategy to win two consecutive games, how could they give up?

Wade passed the ball, then ran back, and opened his hands again to ask for the ball. When he got the ball, the Pacers rushed forward, but Wade made a fake, and then immediately pulled out.

boom!
The goal was missed.

Turning around, the Pacers also failed to score.

Meng Yun took the rebound and drove at full speed, like a sports car, quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and took advantage of the opponent's lack of a defensive position, directly to the inside for a basket.

The goal is scored, the score is 2:0.

One minute later, Meng Yun scored again. He used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Hill, and then made a jump shot with a high arc. The basketball passed the defender's fingertips and made a hollow hit.

Unknowingly, after playing 4 minutes in the first quarter, Meng Yun had already scored 7 points. His scoring efficiency was very high, and his breakthrough was still unsolvable and difficult to stop.

But the Pacers coach didn't care. Coach Frank Vogel sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "So what if Meng plays well? One person's power is limited after all. Even if you get thirty or so Points are useless, you will still lose, just like the last game, useless."

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Pacers are still playing very well. Although Meng Yun scored consecutive points on the Heat's side, and the others played better than the previous game, the Heat are still behind in the score.

Of course, there are not many behind this time, only a few points.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Heat were still 4 points behind.

After entering the second quarter, the two sides came on the bench, and the Heat had a slight upper hand, but when the Pacers replaced the main lineup, the point difference widened again.

"Substitution." Spoelstra replaced, replacing Meng Yun, Wade, etc. successively.

Coming to the field, Meng Yun glanced at the scoreboard and clenched his fists.

After more than a quarter behind, it's time to counterattack.

"Pick and roll."

Coming to the frontcourt, Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll and moved a step to the side. Hill was blocked, and the Pacers rushed to the three-point line to delay.

In the last game, Meng Yun scored a lot of points by relying on breakthroughs, but the Pacers would rather let him break through than let him shoot from the outside. In the end, Meng Yun scored a lot of points by breaking through, but his energy consumption was too high, and his efficiency dropped in the end. game.

After the game, Meng Yun reflected and realized that he had fallen into the opponent's calculations. Although too many breakthroughs could score, they consumed too much energy and were too single, so the efficiency was not high.

Especially if the opponent did it intentionally, just to let him break through, you fall into the opponent's calculation, everything is under the opponent's control, how can you win?

Meng Yun was observing in the first quarter today, observing the opponent's defense.

Sure enough, just like the previous game, the opponent would rather let Meng Yun break through than let him shoot the outside line. The defender rushed forward, but the inside line was very tight.

However, Meng Yun chose to break through more. The Pacers defenders are used to it. Although they are very forward, they are actually a little slack in their hearts. They think that Meng Yun must be a breakthrough and can't shoot.

Therefore, Meng Yun has to do the opposite.

"What?" The defender was surprised.

I saw Meng Yun suddenly jumped up from outside the three-point line. He was decisive and straightforward. It was not a breakthrough, but a three-point shot. He shot directly at the defender. The basketball crossed an arc, and finally made a hollow hit with a "swish". .

Coach Frank Vogel's face changed, and he shouted at the court: "Prevent his shots, have you forgotten what I said? Guard a little bit."

The Pacers players became serious, and their defense became more serious.

However, there was still no way to stop Meng Yun. After advancing to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to his teammate, then moved quickly, ran a figure 8, and came to the other side. When the ball was passed by his teammate, Meng Yun took the ball and dangled it. , the defender flew up, and Meng Yun just took off and made another three-pointer.

Swish!
The Nets rolled over, like a white wave, and made another three-pointer.

In the auditorium, Heat fans cheered loudly.

With Meng Yun hitting two consecutive three-pointers, the Heat tied the score.
