Chapter 437 Chapter [-] The Cruel Meng Xu

"Haha, Alvin, Meng's expression is really interesting now. As the perimeter player with the strongest foul-making ability in the league, he was fouled twice by Manu in less than a minute. Menglai, it’s really fresh.” Seeing Meng Xu, who was replaced by James Posey in the gap between Manu Ginobili’s free throws, with a displeased expression on his face, Sean Elliott was full of excitement He told Magic Johnson next to him that although the two were teammates once, Sean Elliott would not be able to restrain his excitement when he saw Meng Xu deflated.

"In this game, Meng was a little too relaxed." As a Meng Chuan, Magic Johnson could not admit that Meng Xu was not as good as Ginobili. Meng Xu's momentary carelessness did not explain anything.

"Well, yes, I agree with Erwin. In this game, Meng played too casually. He and Tim interacted too much on the court. I just thought it was a preseason game. You must know that they are opponents now. Since they are opponents, they must devote [-]% of their energy to this game." Michaels is obviously on the side of Magic Johnson. After Magic Johnson finished speaking, he said: Immediately came out to echo his point of view, and also made some additions.

"I'll go, these two guys." Sean Elliott could only shake helplessly as he listened to Michaels and Magic Johnson singing along side by side, excused Meng Xu, and joined forces to squeeze himself. shook his head.

"Meng, don't take it to heart, rest first." As soon as Meng Xu walked to the sidelines, assistant coach Lester Conor handed over a towel, and then patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"Boss, that guy was obviously flopping just now. I really don't know where the referee's eyes went."

"That's right, the acting is too fucking fake, it's like getting an electric shock."

"Like a bitch, you can fall down at the touch!" Meng Xu just sat on the bench, Bobby Simmons, NN-Hilary, and Tyshawn Prince surrounded him, and then you said something to each other began to condemn Ginobili's evil deeds.

Although Duncan's Spurs are better than the Pacers in terms of internal strength, but when it comes to overall strength, there is still a big gap between the Spurs and the Pacers, especially the perimeter of the two sides. To describe, but now, when Meng Xu was off the court for two consecutive fouls by Ginobili, the gap between the two sides has narrowed significantly. Steve Smith can't guard against Hamilton, and James Posey can't. Can't guard Ginobili. As for Parker and Jamal Tinsley, both of them have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, without Meng Xu, the Pacers were completely suppressed by the Spurs in the second half of the first quarter. up.

In less than 5 minutes in the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs beat the Pacers 8-15. When the first quarter ended, the Spurs at home led the Pacers 29-20 As many as 9 points, and the first quarter behind the opponent by nearly 10 points, this is the first time in the Pacers this season.

"Meng, with your current ability, I have nothing to guide you. You are stronger now than I was back then. But I still hope you can understand that you must learn to use your own advantages on the court. Maximize your own strengths, use your own advantages to suppress the opponent's potential, so that you can become stronger, and your advantages are not only strength, speed, explosive power, and even shooting. Your strengths, although post-ups can make you more efficient, but in addition to post-ups, you have more options." During the timeout, Larry Bird assigned the task of arranging tactics for the substitute lineup. , and handed it over to his assistant Lester Connor, while he took Meng Xu to chat aside.

"I see, Larry." After Larry Bird finished speaking, Meng Xu fell into contemplation. There is not a small difference. Meng Xu's first offensive choice now is mostly back-up attacks, in order to give full play to his advantages in strength. Therefore, Meng Xu's face-up attacks are now less and less, because in the In Meng Xu's view, compared with most outside players in the league, he has an absolute advantage in strength, and the back attack is an offensive method that can give full play to his strength advantage.

"Yeah, my advantage is not only strength, speed, and explosiveness are my strengths, why do I have to stick to strength?" After lowering his head and muttering to himself for a while, Meng Xu seemed to have figured it out. Suddenly raised his head and looked at Larry Bird: "Larry, I know what to do."

"I hope you can break through the shackles as soon as possible! There are more important things waiting for you in the future." Looking at the high-spirited Meng Xu, Larry Bird patted him on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and said silently in his heart said a word.Larry Bird has been in poor physical condition since he retired. If it weren't for the poor performance of Isaiah Thomas in coaching the Pacers, Larry Bird would not choose to come back and take over the Pacers again, although in the first One year, Larry Bird led the Pacers to win the championship, but because of overwork, Larry Bird's body had problems again, and this summer, Larry Bird didn't have much rest, so this So far in the season, Larry Bird's body has been a bit too much. These days, Larry Bird has been thinking about retiring and going back to recuperate again after the end of the season. After he left, the stability of the Pacers , is the only thing Larry Bird is worried about right now.In terms of the team's coaching candidates, Lester Conor has limited ability and is not enough to control a championship team. He can only be used as a transitional candidate, but Larry Bird is a little worried that the new coach will not be able to control the Pacers. The arrogant soldier, if the Pacers collapsed suddenly after he left, then he would never feel at ease for the rest of his life, so Larry Bird pinned all his hopes on Meng Xu, hoping that Meng Xu could lead the way after he left. Good for this team.

"Okay, guys, cheer up, let's give the San Antonio people an unforgettable Christmas together!" After the official timeout of the second quarter came, Larry, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time Bird finally stood up, and after calling all the team's starting players around him, Larry Bird didn't arrange any tasks, nor did he formulate any tactics, just stretched out his palm , and then spoke to them in a rising voice.

"We must win, we must win, we must win..." After Larry Bird finished speaking, Meng Xu, Hamilton, Mutombo and others put all their hands on Larry Bird's hands, and the crowd was passionate shouted, especially Jamal Tinsley, flushed with excitement.

"Very good, let's play now and kick their ass hard." Larry Bird withdrew his hand, pointed in the direction of the court, and once again turned his voice to the highest level. After De finished speaking, the Pacers players who were about to appear on the field also yelled in unison, and even those Pacers players who had already sat on the bench rushed to the sidelines and yelled together.

Although the Pacers' substitutes scrambled to catch up at the beginning of the second quarter, when the main players reappeared, the Pacers were still 7 points behind the Spurs. Therefore, when the main players led by Meng Xu came on the field, the Pacers In the second quarter, the Spurs started a full-court press defense.

Parker was struggling under the constant pressure of Jamal Tinsley, and finally got rid of Jamal Tinsley's press after calling Ginobili's screen.Parker, who got rid of the pressing defense, wanted to pass the basketball to Duncan under the basket under Meng Xu's misplaced defense, but was directly intercepted by Meng Xu.

If it was just to launch a fast break after stealing Parker, the fans at the scene would not be too surprised. After all, Meng Xu has won three consecutive steals and was the best defensive player as a rookie in the Spurs.However, after Meng Xu steals Parker, he launched a fast break from the backcourt. Not only did he knock down Jackson, who was trying to block him at the top of the arc, but he also knocked down Ginobi, who had retreated to the basket in advance, when he dunked. Li hit the bottom line directly.

"This Argentine kid's performance is too exaggerated. The moment he flew out, I thought a big truck hit him." Seeing the collision with Meng Xu in the air, and then flying directly out of the baseline, and Michaels sneered at Ginobili, who slid for a long distance until he hit the cameraman behind the basket, and then stopped.

Sean Elliott on the side wanted to defend Ginobili, but he opened his mouth and finally gave up. Ginobili's performance just now was indeed a bit exaggerated. Although Meng Xu's strength is strong, it is still not enough. Not to this extent, not to mention Michaels, even Sean Elliott was frightened by Ginobili's acting skills when he saw Ginobili flying out just now, please, the one who hit you was Meng Xu, not O'Neill.

"Is this true? Or is it fake? Could it be that Meng Xu really has such powerful power?" At this moment, Magic Johnson's attention was all on Ginobili who was still lying on the ground and clutching his chest. Ginobili's expression can tell that he is really in pain. If this expression can be faked, then Ginobili should really go to Hollywood to develop, which is the most suitable place for him, but Magic Johnson I can't believe that Meng Xu has such great strength that he can knock a player weighing more than 200 pounds several meters away. In the history of the NBA, only Chamberlain and the big fat guy from the Lakers can do it Well, those two people are super insiders who are rampant around the basket, and Meng Xu is just an outside player, so Magic Johnson still has some doubts whether the scene just now is real or not.

"Why is this guy so strong?" Ginobili, who was still lying on the ground, had only one thought in his mind now, how could this yellow man, who seemed only a little bit stronger than himself, have such great strength?In the defense just now, after Parker was intercepted by Meng Xu, Ginobili quickly retreated towards the basket and prepared to make another offensive foul by Meng Xu, but due to Ginobili's wrong judgment, a The foot stepped into the reasonable collision zone, and when Ginobili retracted his foot to adjust, Meng Xu had already rushed over, and took off directly in front of him. In desperation, he was not ready yet Manu Ginobili could only jump up to face Meng Xu, ready to interfere with him in the air, but before Ginobili reached out to make a blocking gesture, Meng Xu directly bumped into him. Under the impact, Ginobili was knocked away by Meng Xu like a leaf.

"This is too cruel!" When Meng Xu hit Stephen Jackson under the basket in another fast break and completed a dunk, Michaels, who had already reacted in the commentary, looked at him with sympathy. Stephen Jackson lying on the ground.If we talk about the attack just now, many people still suspect that Ginobili was flopping, then when Duncan stormed the basket and scored, the Pacers quickly sent the baseline ball and directly launched a fast break. Knocked down Ginobili again, and then like last time, after knocking down Stephen Jackson in almost the same position as Ginobili, there is only one explanation, that is, Meng Xu really has the ability to The powerful force that Ginobili hit and flew out.

Not to mention Michaels on the commentary, even Popovich on the sidelines was looking at Meng Xu with horror at the moment. Meng Xu played under Popovich for two seasons. Popovich watched Meng Xu grow from a role player who can only defend to a superstar who is good at offense and defense step by step. Regarding Meng Xu's physical talent, technical characteristics, and even psychological quality, Popovich is very impressed. Qi is very clear, but today, Popovich was surprised to find that after one and a half seasons away from the Spurs, there is a world of difference between the Meng Xu in front of him and the Meng Xu in his heart.

After contemplating for a moment, Popovich immediately called a timeout. When Meng Xu showed something different on the court, these things were obviously beyond his expectations, and for the Spurs, This kind of accident is an uncontrollable situation, so the Spurs must make corresponding changes and adjustments.

However, Popovich's adjustment after the timeout was obviously not ideal. After Popovich called the timeout, the Pacers also made changes. Compared with the previous game, Meng Xu held the ball and played back singles Attracting double-teams is different. After the timeout, Meng Xu began to break through with the ball, not the kind of large-scale continuous change of direction, but to use his own strength and explosive power to rush directly towards the Spurs' basket. Once Meng Xu rushed up Whether it's Manu Ginobili or Stephen Jackson, not to mention blocking Meng Xu, they can't even pull him.At the last moment of the second quarter, there was even a picture of Meng Xu rushing directly to the basket and colliding with Duncan head-on, and both of them fell to the ground.
