king of defenders

Chapter 687 The Natural Leader
After entering the third quarter, Meng Yun switched to playing without the ball, shooting after catching the ball, or breaking through after catching the ball, so that the opponent had no time to double-team.Meng Yun can play off the ball because his shots are precise and stable.

Meng Yun has been liberated at this point. It is good news for the Chinese team that he starts scoring. It not only reduces the point difference, but also boosts the morale of the team.

Seeing this situation, Gong Luming finally showed a smile on his face.

But soon the smile disappeared.

Meng Yun was still scoring on the court, but the point difference between the two sides no longer narrowed, but began to widen again.Whenever Meng Yun scored a goal, the opponent would quickly retaliate, and when Meng Yun failed to make a goal, the opponent also scored.As a result, the point difference began to widen, and soon the point difference reached thirty points.

"Not good." Li Nan yelled: "We can't play like this. Our defense can't prevent the opponent. It's too easy for the opponent to score. Meng Yun finally scored one, and the opponent can get it back easily."

"It's not just defense." Wang Weixing said: "Our offense also has problems. Meng Yun scored alone. His scoring ability is unquestionable, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands. The opponent is all scoring, so it depends on Meng Yun How can one person do it?"

Yes, two fists are no match for four hands.

Gong Luming frowned, and couldn't help sighing: "As expected of the old coach K, he didn't call a timeout. It should have been arranged before the start of the third quarter. He had expected that I would make adjustments so that Meng Yun Playing without the ball to break the double-team. He also knows Meng Yun's scoring ability, so he simply ignores Meng Yun and restricts others. As long as other people don't score, Meng Yun alone will eventually be unable to support him."

Of course, there is a problem with this strategy, that is, the U.S. team must get back the points Meng Yun scored on the offensive end. If they can't, they will be overwhelmed by Meng Yun alone.

And the US team just has such strength, and the all-star lineup is no joke.

Gong Luming was about to call a timeout, but seeing Meng Yun calling his teammates together, Gong Luming resisted the urge to call a timeout.

On the court, Meng Yun said: "Brothers, the situation is not good now. You have also seen that I can't do it alone. We all need to be able to score. Your strength is enough and you can score. Wang Zhelin You suffer physically in the interior, but your footwork in the interior is an advantage. Needless to say, Ah Lian. Zhou Peng, you have a good shooting percentage from outside the three-point line, and your air cut is also very good. And Guo Ailun, your body Compared with the players of the US team, there is still a gap in quality. It may not be easy to break through and face the defenders to score, but it is absolutely no problem if you just break through. Your breakthrough points will bring us opportunities."

Several people listened, their eyes lit up.

Meng Yun said again: "This is a severe test. There is no doubt that the opponent is strong. Their strength is above ours, but I really don't want their superior attitude. And those American fans in the audience, The look in their eyes made me very uncomfortable, it was a look of jealousy and contempt."

"We may not win, but I don't want to lose too much."

Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, and Guo Ailun shook their heads and nodded in unison: "We don't want to lose too much either."

Meng Yundao: "Brothers, let's work hard together. Fight hard and give full play to our strengths. I have fought each of them more than once, so I know that they are not invincible."

"Ah."

"Fight well."

The eyes of several people glowed, and their fighting spirit boiled.

attack.

Meng Yun passed to Guo Ailun when he arrived in the frontcourt, then moved as usual, crossed positions with Yi Jianlian, and then went to the other corner to catch the ball, but this time Meng Yun did not catch the ball and shoot, but instead attracted the defense and divided the ball. Passed to Yi Jianlian.

The players of the American team were all focused on Meng Yun, and they didn't pay much attention to Yi Jianlian, the pick-and-roll man, so Yi Jianlian got a good opportunity at this time.After receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian didn't go inside, because there was Cousins ​​inside, and he just made a jumper with a rebound and hit it steadily.

"Huh..." Gong Luming heaved a sigh of relief.

After 1 minute, Meng Yun received the ball outside the three-point line on the left, and the others pulled it to the right. Wang Zhelin was in a good position for singles in the low post on the left. Owen didn't dare to shrink to assist in the defense at all, because Meng Yun was still on the three-point line and was more threatening than Wang Zhelin.

Wang Zhelin played against Cousins ​​with his back. He knew that he was definitely not as good as Cousins ​​in physical confrontation, so he didn't plan to use the "bulldozer style" style of play. He needed to rely on skills.

I saw Wang Zhelin suddenly turned around with his back against Cousins, bypassed Cousins ​​like a top, and grabbed the basketball that was slapped on the floor. He had already reached the basket.

Cousins ​​was taken aback, but he didn't care, he turned around quickly, and when he saw Wang Zhelin lift the ball up for a layup, he immediately jumped up, his big hand like a palm fan, and slapped it on the basketball.

But he was fooled.

Wang Zhelin didn't make a shot, it was just a fake move. He knew Cousins' strength. Wang Zhelin knew that his direct layup was likely to be blocked by Cousins, so he feinted.

Sure enough, Cousins ​​jumped up, very high, but it was useless, because Wang Zhelin didn't jump at all. Wang Zhelin didn't jump until Cousins ​​started to go down the road, and scored with his left hand.

"Pretty." Even Yao Ming couldn't help applauding.

Gong Luming also nodded with a smile.

The ball was indeed beautiful. He turned around and shot a feint. Obviously Wang Zhelin had no advantage over Cousins, but his nimble footwork and delicate technique allowed him to successfully play with Cousins ​​once and give the ball to him. scored.

"This shot is beautiful." Meng Yun ran over and high-fived Wang Zhelin.

"Hehe, it's okay, it may not be so easy next time." Wang Zhelin said modestly, but he was still a little excited. He actually played with Cousins ​​once, and it was worth it.

After that, Guo Ailun broke through to score the ball and passed it to Zhou Peng who was following closely.

When others scored one after another, Meng Yun felt much more relaxed.The U.S. team did not dare to double-team Meng Yun easily. Meng Yun faced less defensive pressure and could score the ball more easily, greatly improving the success rate of goals.

The reason why he could not score better than the U.S. team in scoring before was because of efficiency. Meng Yun's shooting percentage was only 40.00%, while the U.S. team had a lot of points, and the overall shooting percentage reached 70.00%.This is why some say basketball is a team sport.

The score on the field has become 80:55, and the US team still leads by 25 points, but for Gong Luming, trailing by 25 points in the middle of three quarters is an acceptable score.

Looking at Meng Yun on the field, Gong Luming felt very pleased: "Meng Yun is not only amazingly talented, but also a natural leader. He can unite his teammates and make them better."

Although I don't know what Meng Yun and his teammates said just now, the changes in the team after that are clear at a glance. Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhelin, and Zhou Peng all started to score. That says it all.
