king of defenders

Chapter 646 Departure, Spain!

After the Eastern Conference Finals, Meng Yun finally had time to accompany Guo Hai and the others.

However, Meng Yun's training has not fallen behind. He goes to the American Airlines Arena for training every day. The staff in the arena have become accustomed to it and appreciate Meng Yun's hard work.

After hearing the news, the team executives planned to hire two trainers for Meng Yun to assist Meng Yun in training.You must know that the trainers of NBA players are generally hired by themselves, and the team will not pay for this part of the expenditure.But Meng Yun is a special case. After a season, the Heat have regarded Meng Yun as a treasure.

In fact, only halfway through the regular season, the Heat's executives have decided to train Meng Yun as the core of the future. After all, Wade is already in his thirties and entering the end of his career, someone must take over.

As for Dragic, the Heat didn't sign him for "inheritance". At that time, James had just left, and the team still had Bosh and Wade. They were still quite competitive. The team didn't want to give up the playoffs , so Dragic was recruited to form a low-profile version of the "Big Three".

Once Wade and Bosh's state declines seriously, the Heat will consider the issue of inheritance, and Dragic may become a bargaining chip at that time.

But who knew that Meng Yun's sudden rise was so amazing.

He is only 20 years old!

There is no doubt that Meng Yun is better and more promising than Towns, Okafor, and Russell, so the Heat quickly formulated a new plan to complete the replacement of old and new with Meng Yun as the future.

In the second half of the regular season, Meng Yun became more and more outstanding in the playoffs, even far exceeding the expectations of the Heat's management. It is said that the owner of the Heat will mention Meng Yun every time he chats with others, bragging in front of his friends.

Of course, the Heat are willing to spend money on this baby, and they are willing to give Meng Yun whatever he wants, not to mention just hiring two trainers.

Meng Yun did not refuse.

But to Meng Yun's surprise, the team's assistant coach Craig offered to participate and help him formulate a training plan with two assistant coaches.

"Coach Craig." Meng Yun was very moved and called Craig, "Thank you very much, but I may return to China soon, and I will represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games, so I am afraid I don't have much time Training. You have also worked hard this season, and I don't want to waste time with you and your family."

Craig smiled and said: "If this is the case, then there is no problem of interruption. We can seize this time to carry out a targeted training. When you return to China, I can accompany my family on a trip. Will go to Rio to watch the Olympics. If I go, I will watch your games."

Meng Yun smiled: "I can only accept, I can't refuse a person who really wants to help me. Thank you for doing so much for me, and you have been helping me since I came to the Heat. Please take me to say hello to your family , if it is convenient, I would like to find an opportunity to treat you and your family to a meal, and it happens that my family is also here."

If the two families have a meal together, the relationship will be different.

If it's just Meng Yun and Craig, it's considered working together, but bringing the family to dinner together is considered a personal relationship, and only true friends can do this.

On the other end of the phone, Craig was very happy. He felt Meng Yun's heart and agreed immediately. He even made a decision to take his family to Rio to watch Meng Yun's game when the Olympics came.

In the next few days, apart from training, Meng Yun and Guo Shuyao accompanied Guo Hai and Liu Qin to visit Miami.Speaking of which, Meng Yun has never been to many places in Miami. He only went out for a walk when Guo Shuyao and Guo Hai came.

In the middle, I found an opportunity to have a meal with Craig's family. Craig has two children, a son and a daughter. His daughter is a fan of Meng Yun, but his son is not very interested in basketball.

Meanwhile, the nba playoffs are still going on.

After the Cavaliers defeated the Heat to advance to the finals, the Warriors and the Thunder went through seven games. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Thunder and successfully joined the Cavaliers in the finals.

The Warriors played very well this season, and almost made history, but Meng Yun is still more optimistic about the Cavaliers. He has played against the Cavaliers, so he knows the strength of the Cavaliers better.

In a blink of an eye, May ends and June arrives.

Meng Yun stopped training and is about to return home.

But before returning to China, Meng Yun decided to go to Spain. The ACB (Spanish Basketball League) has entered the semi-final stage. Xiang Long's Valencia team has successfully reached the semi-finals. They will usher in the semi-finals on June 6. In the first game of the final, Meng Yun planned to watch the game and cheer for Xiang Long.

Although Xiang Long has a weird personality, he is a friend after all, not to mention that Xiang Long also came to the scene in the key game between the Heat and the Raptors.

"Let's go, Spain." Meng Yun smiled.

Spain, Valencia.

This season is an explosive season for Valencia. Both the ACB and EL have entered the playoffs, and ACB has even reached the semi-finals.

The schedule of ACB and EL is different. EL has to be ranked first. Under the leadership of Xiang Long, Valencia reached the semi-finals, but met CSKA in the semi-finals, and finally lost the game and missed the final. .

Afterwards, the Valencia team focused on the ACB game, broke through all the way, and reached the semi-finals. The upcoming semi-finals will be a huge test for them.

Whether it can reach the final depends on it.

ACB's playoffs adopt a 5-game 3-win format. Valencia will face Spain's Real Madrid Basketball Club (referred to as Real Madrid) in the semifinals. Real Madrid has home court advantage, so the first game will be held at Real Madrid's home court. At this point the Valencia players were preparing to board a plane to Spain.

On the plane, the Valencia players were chatting and very excited. They haven't made it to the semifinals for a long, long time—no, it should be that they haven't made it to the playoffs for a long time.

This season they not only reached the playoffs, but also reached the semi-finals, and they are expected to hit the championship. How can a group of players not be excited?
Xiang Long was the only one in the crowd who was calm. Hearing the discussions of his teammates and seeing their excitement, Xiang Long was a little uncomfortable and felt out of place.

Is it amazing to reach the semi-finals? Why are you so excited?
"I can't understand." Xiang Long shook his head, looked out the window, and said to himself: "I'm just a passerby, and I will leave Valencia and Spain soon. I don't know if I can reach the final and win the championship before I leave. Do your best."

For Xiang Long, the European arena is just a transitional stage. He is not the master here, but just a passerby. Although he plays very well, he can only be regarded as a passing dragon at best.After all, he still wants to go back to the sea and enter the NBA. Only a place like the NBA where strong dragons run wild can excite him and make his soul tremble.
