king of defenders

Chapter 677
After consideration, Gong Luming decided to let Meng Yun enter the team's rotation ahead of time, and directly put Meng Yun on the starting lineup, forming the starting lineup of the Chinese team with Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang, and Li Gen.

Seeing Meng Yun appearing in the starting lineup, the coach of the Philippine team frowned. He had Andre Blatche on his side, but at most Blatche was competing with Yi Jianlian. Now the Chinese team has more With a more powerful Meng Yun, the strengths of the two sides are no longer on the same line.

Sure enough, when the game started, the Chinese team quickly gained the upper hand.

Blatche is playing well and can be evenly matched with Yi Jianlian, but the Philippine team has no choice but to find someone who can compete with Meng Yun.

In fact, Meng Yun didn't make many shots. After all, the opponent was the Philippines, and this game was different from the previous one. It didn't involve other things. It was just a warm-up match.

So Meng Yun is more about organizing the offense, controlling the rhythm, strengthening the cooperation with his teammates, cultivating the tacit understanding with his teammates, and trying to integrate into the team's system.

But Rao is so, the Philippine team still feels very helpless.

Meng Yun's breakthrough was very sharp, tearing open the Philippine team's defense time and time again, and then distributed the ball to the teammate in the best position, or directly assisted Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi to catch them all-in-one.

Because the existence of Meng Yun restrained the defense of the Philippine team, the other players of the Chinese team got a lot of opportunities, and it can be said that they played very easily. In just a few minutes, the Chinese team established an 8-point lead.

In the following games, the Chinese team basically suppressed the Philippine team. Although the Philippine team also launched a counterattack and even got close to the score at one point, they were beaten every time and always fell behind.

In the end, the Chinese team easily defeated the Philippine team, drawing a successful conclusion to this trip to Europe.

China, a training base.

This is a closed training base that does not accept media interviews or outsiders. The Chinese men's basketball team will conduct closed training here after returning from European training.

"Yes, follow up, must follow up."

"Empty cuts, cut when you see an opportunity. Don't dribble, shoot directly after you get the ball. You must get rid of this habit and don't waste time on shots."

"Meng Yun, when you should play by yourself, you must play by yourself. Why pass the ball when you are more confident in your own play? You have to remember that you are the core of the team."

Gong Luming stood on the sidelines, constantly urging and guiding the players.

On the court is a group of Chinese men's basketball players. They are training against each other. Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang, and Li Gen are in the first team, and Wang Zhelin, Zou Yuchen, Zhou Peng, Guo Ailun, and Zhao Jiwei are in the first team.

From the perspective of the lineup, Meng Yun and his team are undoubtedly stronger. This is the current regular starting lineup of the Chinese team. After returning from training in Europe, Gong Luming officially announced that Meng Yun will be the team's starting point guard. The starting lineup also clarified Meng Yun's core position in the team.

He and Yi Jianlian, one inside and one outside, are the core!

Of course, Meng Yun's strength is stronger, and he is a point guard, very flexible on the court, and there are too many things he can do.

However, because the tacit understanding between Meng Yun and his teammates was not enough, and he was not familiar enough with the team's tactical system, Gong Luming did not emphasize Meng Yun's role.

There is no need to rush this, just take your time.

"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun made a gesture, Zhou Qi came up to pick and roll, Meng Yun quickly threw off the defender and moved to the right, Wang Zhelin was delayed coming up, and Guo Ailun, who was originally facing Meng Yun, also rushed over.In terms of position, Zhao Jiwei should be facing Meng Yun, but Zhao Jiwei is far behind Meng Yun in terms of height and speed, and his confrontation ability is not strong enough. It is completely one-sided for him to face Meng Yun. Not much of a challenge.

So on the offensive end, Zhao Jiwei plays the No. 1 position. He has a good view of the overall situation, a clear mind, and a good pass.But on the defensive end, Zhao Jiwei is the 2nd position, facing Li Gen, and Guo Ailun and Meng Yun.

In fact, no matter whether he was playing against Meng Yun or Li Gen, Zhao Jiwei suffered a disadvantage, but there was no way for him to defend Li Gen better than defending Meng Yun.

"Whoosh."

Meng Yun passed the ball back to Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi shot a mid-range jumper.

Gong Luming nodded secretly: "Playing Zhou Qi like this can make a difference on the offensive end. His body is too thin, and his confrontation ability is too poor. He can't play in the low post. But this kind of jumper after the pick-and-roll is good. His shooting percentage is still good, and with his height and long arms, few people can block him."

Zhou Qi's performance in the few European training games was not very good. There were no bright spots, but the problem of poor physical confrontation was exposed.

The difference in physical confrontation cannot be changed in a short time, but Zhou Qi's role in defense and rebounding is worthy of recognition. Overall, it is appropriate to put him in the starting lineup.

So Gong Luming made some adjustments after he came back, and asked Zhou Qi to simply pull to the outside line, help Meng Yun pick and roll, and then seek opportunities to shoot from the outside line.

Now it seems that this is indeed a good choice.

On the court, the two sides come and go, and it is a joy.

Meng Yun and the others still have a clear upper hand. Meng Yun doesn't take many shots. Yi Jianlian has the most shots on their side. Yi Jianlian has the strength, but he lacks people who feed the ball, and he also lacks a kind of vigor. Now there are After Meng Yun passed the ball, Gong Luming asked Yi Jianlian to play more and play vigorously.

Li Gen, Ding Yan Yuhang, and Gong Luming also had some specific requirements.

These are almost inseparable from Meng Yun. After all, he is a point guard and the brain of the team.Gong Luming was a little worried at first, but soon he felt relieved. Meng Yun integrated into the team very quickly. He played two games in Europe and practiced for a few days after he came back. There is no sense of unfamiliarity.

"Shh!"

Meng Yun scored suddenly and assisted Ding Yanyuhang to hit a three-pointer.

Li Nan laughed and said, "I didn't expect Meng Yun to be integrated into the team's system so quickly. Now he has played very calmly in the starting lineup."

"En." Gong Luming nodded, and said: "Meng Yun's talent is indeed amazing, which is a good thing. Next we will play the Stankovic Cup, the China-Europe Men's Basketball Tournament, and the China-US Men's Basketball Tournament. We have to make good use of it. These games allow Meng Yun to fully integrate into the team and become the core of the team. We must strive to raise the strength of the team to a higher level before the Olympics, and then welcome the arrival of the Olympics in the best condition."
