Legendary star

Chapter 269 The same momentum as Jordan
"Meng Xu seems to be in good shape today." Magic Johnson, who was a little worried about the Spurs' failure to make changes in this game, felt a little bit after seeing Meng Xu's performance in the first round. It's much better.

After the start of the game, O'Neal overwhelmed Duncan and succeeded in jumping the ball. Meng Xu directly pressed Ron Haber in the backcourt. The old Haber hadn't dribbled the ball past halftime under Meng Xu's pressure. It was directly intercepted by Meng Xu.

"Yes, Meng looks very good today, maybe today the Spurs and the Lakers will contribute a very exciting game for us." Watching Meng Xu falling from the basket after a fast break dunk, Michaels said Magic Johnson's side echoed.

Because Meng Xu's current strength evaluation has reached 92, so when Meng Xu used the enchanting potion, Meng Xu's strength evaluation directly reached the highest in the system, 99, and all 18 of Meng Xu's attributes are now 13. There are [-] attributes that have overflowed, and in the enchanted state, the system attributes have no upper limit, which means that these overflowed attributes are still valid.

"Perhaps this kid is the biggest variable in this round of the game." Looking at Meng Xu who quickly retreated to the center circle after the fast break, Phil Jackson on the sidelines felt in a trance that what the Spurs kid did in the game today The aura exuded is so familiar, and I only felt this aura from Jordan, but soon, Phil Jackson shook his head, a second-year player, even if he is against the sky, it is impossible Reach the level of Jordan, and even if you are Jordan, I am not afraid of you. I now have two superstars in my hands. Even the Bulls at their peak can also make gestures with you.

"Will Meng Xu continue to press on Haber?" When the Lakers sent the baseline ball again, Meng Xu began to press on Haber again. Ron Haber's ability to control the ball is also very good, but he did not Not the kind of orthodox point guard, and Haber is 38 years old this year. Under such circumstances, facing the all-round strengthened Meng Xu, Ron Haber is now a little unstable with the ball .Pressing Harper in the first quarter was also one of Popovich's defensive tactics before the game. If there is any weakness in the Lakers' starting lineup, then Harper, an unorthodox veteran Point guard is the only weakness.

"Harper made a mistake again." After being pressed by Meng Xu again, Ron Harper felt the same as Phil Jackson now. He really felt the kind of harmony emanating from Meng Xu. Jordan had a similar oppressive momentum, and Haber also subconsciously wanted to avoid Meng Xu's press, and used the method of protecting the ball sideways to Meng Xu, and then called his teammates to cover, but just when Haber reached out to call his teammates , Meng Xu suddenly exerted force behind Haber, and Haber, whose center of gravity was unstable in an instant, let go of the basketball directly, while Meng Xu caught the basketball on the ground with a quick acceleration, another fast-break dunk, In less than 20 seconds of the opening, the Spurs had already achieved a 4-point lead.

"Meng, you did a good job." When Meng Xu made another fast break dunk, the entire Spurs bench was boiling. Almost all the benches waved towels and rushed to the sidelines to face the calm Meng Xu. Shout out.

"Coach, why do I think Meng's performance is a bit abnormal today?" Just when Popovich was also happy for the good start of the Spurs, D'Antoni, the last member of the Spurs coaching staff, quietly ran to Popovich. side.

"Abnormal?" After hearing D'Antoni's reminder, Popovich also nodded. It is well known that Meng Xu likes to show off, but in today's game, Meng Xu's dunk after two successful steals, He didn't show off his difficult dunks, but used the simplest and most direct two-handed dunk, and after the dunk, he behaved very calmly, without any unnecessary celebration.If it was in the past, Meng Xu sometimes buckled when he was happy, and would run to the opposite bench to provoke him, but today Meng Xu didn't even turn his head when he passed the Lakers bench.

After Ron Haber was intercepted by Meng Xu twice in a row, this time when Haber dribbled the ball again, Kobe followed him directly to cover for him. In this case, Meng Xu gave up on Haber. Uncle's pressure directly retreated to a place not far from the top of the arc.After Harper dribbled through the middle circle, he handed the basketball directly to Kobe, while he ran towards the left side of the court.

"Kobe, I bet you won't make this shot yourself." When Kobe dribbled the ball and appeared in front of Meng Xu, Meng Xu, who had seen through Kobe's intentions, looked at Kobe calmly.

After Kobe cursed in a low voice, he handed over the basketball to Rick Fox, who pulled up from the right side, and ran towards the weak side of the court with Meng Xu himself.At this time, the Spurs' basket gathered O'Neal, Duncan, David Robinson, and Horace Grant 4 black and hard. Therefore, after the opening, the Lakers, as always, wanted to make a fuss on the outside first. After all, compared to the basket With Duncan and David Robinson, the Spurs now have two aging outsiders, Mario Elli and Sean Elliott, here is a better breakthrough.

And Rick Fox, who received the pass from Kobe, passed Sean Elliott very easily, but when Rick Fox jumped up and was about to throw the basketball in his hand, Rick Fox suddenly felt A black shadow flew towards him, and the basketball he had just let go was slapped off the field by a big hand.After seeing Meng Xu complete the cover for himself and the figure passing by him, Rick Fox still felt a little unbelievable looking at Meng Xu after he landed, because Rick Fox had clearly seen just now that Meng Xu Xu has followed Kobe to a place at least 4 meters away from him.

"Meng Xu's defensive prediction, moving speed, jumping height, jumping speed and block selection are really incredible." At this time, even Magic Johnson on the sidelines was surprised by Meng Xu's defense just now. , Magic Johnson, sitting on the sidelines, clearly saw the whole process of Meng Xu's defense this time. Meng Xu, who was originally defending Kobe, was at the moment when Rick Fox threw off Sean Elliott. , immediately gave up the defense against Kobe, and rushed towards Rick Fox, and after Rick Fox took off, Meng Xu just arrived, almost without the slightest pause or preparation, Meng Xu stood beside Rick Fox He jumped up straight from the side, and Meng Xu was more than half a head taller in the air than Rick Fox.

"Although there are only a few rounds, we can clearly see that Meng Xu's defense in this game has directly improved by more than one level compared to the regular season and the first few rounds of the playoffs." An outsider who is good at speed and defense, but in today's game, there is no doubt that Meng Xu has achieved his ultimate.

"Meng, your blocking is really good." In the defense just now, Sean Elliott, who was easily thrown off by Rick Fox, was the first to run over and give Meng Xu a high-five to celebrate. The help defense is completely wiping his own ass, and in Popovich's defensive arrangement, Meng Xu has no task of wiping Sean Elliott's ass.

After Meng Xu gave Sean Elliot a high-five with a calm face, he retreated to the top of the arc, waiting for the Lakers to serve the sideline.Meng Xu would definitely not have been able to complete the assisted defense just now, but after using the enchanting potion, Meng Xu's speed and block have reached 115, and his jumping and agility have all reached 110. With a score of 15 points, and on the defensive end, Meng Xu's airborne time, bounce speed, start speed, and block speed all increased by [-]% due to the bonus of the ability to cover the sky and the sun on the defensive end.So now everything is just right, just in time to rush to his side before Fox made a shot, and just after Rick Fox made a shot, he completed the take-off, and then blocked Rick Fox very easily.At the same time, because of Meng Xu's relaxed face, in the eyes of others, Meng Xu's defense was completed with ease.

However, Meng Xu's seemingly easy defense and block blocking this time is not the case in the eyes of others. At this time, Rick Fox, who has retreated to the sidelines and is about to serve the sideline, still has a sluggish expression on his face. I was still thinking about the scene that was blocked by Meng Xu just now in my mind.And Phil Jackson on the sidelines has opened his mouth slightly, with an incredible expression on his face, and the Staples audience, after seeing the video playback on the big screen in the center of the court, are also full of expressions. Unbelievable look.

"What an incredible little guy." D'Antoni murmured after recovering from the sidelines.If Meng Xu can maintain such defensive strength and defensive aggression all the time, then the Spurs' defense will be improved by at least one level on the basis of the original, and this kind of improvement is very scary if you think about it. You can rely on your own defense to defeat this powerful Lakers.

"Greg, maybe we can really win this game." As Popovich's assistant coach, although he has been influenced by Popovich this season, some of Popovich's coaching concepts , Steve Kerr still doesn't agree with it, especially Popovich's indulgence of Meng Xu, Steve Kerr has always been quite critical, but now, Steve Kerr has to agree Popovich's approach, Meng Xu, like Duncan, is a player who can pin his hopes on him, and a player worthy of privileges.
