Chapter 614 The second round of the playoffs, vs the Raptors

Defeat the Pacers, and the Heat's first-round game is over.

The first-round matchups of several other teams are still going on, and the second round of the playoffs will not start until all the teams' first rounds are over.

During this period of time, Meng Yun didn't intend to really use it for rest. His physique is different from that of ordinary people, and his recovery ability is much stronger, so he only rested for one day, and then devoted himself to training.

"My shot was breaking through, but it wasn't consistent enough."

"It takes a transitional stage, or a consolidation stage, from a breakthrough to a real level of strength."

"During this period of time, we need to practice diligently and adapt to the new self in the process, so that we can gradually improve our shooting ability to a new level."

The other teammates were resting, but Meng Yun came to the training arena on the basement level of the American Airlines Arena and started his personal training. There is a shooting training machine in the arena, but no assistance is needed.

Meng Yun has developed the habit of introspecting, thinking, and summarizing since a long time ago.

This has benefited him a lot. Through introspection, thinking, and summarization, he can clearly know his state and how he should train.

Just like before the first round, what he set for himself was to focus on training and shooting, strive to achieve breakthroughs, further "strengthen his strengths", and improve his scoring ability within a period of time.

Facts have proved that he is right and has successfully done this.

"start."

Training begins.

Meng Yun came outside the three-point line and started shooting, first at the top of the arc.His shooting movements are already very standard, almost every shot is exactly the same, just like a textbook, but Meng Yun's pursuit is more than that, he is trying to increase the speed of his shots as much as possible, just like Curry and Thompson.

The advantage of fast shot speed is obvious. It can prevent the opponent from blocking the shot, and it can also allow you to get more shots. In some cases, it is generally too late to make shots, but if you are fast enough, you can do it.

Of course, it is very difficult, and the hit rate is a problem. Many people can't be fast, but if the shot is fast, the movement will be incomplete, and there will be no accuracy. It is better to slow down.

"Shhhh."

Meng Yun raised his hand, his wrist shook, the basketball flew out from his fingertips, hit the net, then bounced back through the shooting machine, fell into Meng Yun's hands, shot again, and the cycle repeated.

After one point, Meng Yun adjusted the shooting machine to the right 45-degree angle, then the right corner, the left 45-degree angle, and the left corner, just like the three-point shooting contest.

This is also very necessary, because it is difficult for you to choose a certain point to shoot on the court. You can only adapt to the game, the situation on the court, and the position. It is required that you must be able to shoot from every corner position. .

After more than an hour, Meng Yun's shooting training ended.

But his training plan has not been completed. In addition to shooting, there are physical training, ball handling training, defensive training, breakthrough training, running training, passing training and so on.
After a long time, Meng Yun's training day ended.

"Whoa, whoa!" Meng Yun bent over and panted, sweating profusely, "I can feel that the impact of the solar storm on me has been reduced compared to the previous period."

For a long time, the energy of the solar storm has been slowly changing Meng Yun's body, making his physical fitness stronger. The reason why he has improved so fast this season is also inseparable from this.

However, this change is not consistent, and the effect of the change becomes smaller and smaller as time goes by.

"Is it because the energy of the solar storm is constantly being consumed, getting less and less? Or is it because my physical fitness improves, and as my physical fitness improves, the solar storm has less and less effect on me?" Meng Yun was not sure which one it was. There are various reasons, but he is clearly aware that one day, this change will disappear completely.

And, that day might not be very far away.

If there is no solar storm, can I still be so strong?
No, I'm still me even if there is no sun storm, even if my physical fitness does not improve, I can still become one of the best players in the nba.

Curry's physical fitness is not outstanding, but he has also become a superstar. Physical fitness is the foundation, but I have reached this standard now, even better than Curry's foundation.

The rest is hard work.

"I will continue to work hard and hone my skills." Meng Yun secretly made up his mind that in this offseason he needs to hone his skills and can't just rely on his body.

However, the most important thing now is the second round of the playoffs.

What Meng Yun has to do now is to seize the time to stabilize his shooting ability at a new level, and use his strongest state to deal with the second round of the playoffs.

The next opponent will only be stronger than the Pacers!
A day later, the Raptors-Hornets series was over.

In fact, the Raptors also settled the battle in 6 games, but because of the schedule, they ended later than the Heat.

The regular season record of the Raptors ranked second in the East, and the Hornets ranked sixth in the East. Now that the Raptors beat the Hornets, it means that the Heat's next opponent will be the Raptors.

Two days later, the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs was over. The Heat defeated the Pacers, the Raptors defeated the Hornets, the Cavaliers swept the Pistons, and the Celtics defeated the Eagles in a tiebreaker. The Celtics advance to the second round, the Heat will face the Raptors, and the Cavaliers will face the Celtics.

Spoelstra brought the players together in a hurry and analyzed the Raptors' lineup and tactics in detail.

After doing this, Spoelstra told the players: "The Raptors are a very good team. They have outstanding All-Star players and stable role players. And their lineup is very balanced. There are insiders and outsiders, there are almost no obvious shortcomings, and even the bench lineup is very deep."

"Playing against them will only be harder than the Pacers."

Everyone nodded silently.

During the regular season, the Heat had played against the Raptors four times, with two wins and two losses, but two of the victories were in the middle of the season, that is, Bosh was still there, the team was in good shape, and it was the best time.As for the two games lost, one was at the beginning of the season, when Meng Yun's performance was not outstanding at that time, and the other was at the end of the season, when Bosh was absent and Dragic was replaced as a substitute. tactics, and lost to the Raptors.

So for the Heat, Meng Yun is definitely a terrible opponent. Facing the Raptors is definitely more difficult than facing the Pacers.

"We have to be mentally prepared." Spoelstra looked at the crowd and changed his tone, "But we don't need to be afraid. The Raptors are strong, but we are not weak."
