Chapter 506 Applause at the American Airlines Arena

In this game between the Heat and the Pacers, the Pacers completely suppressed the Heat from the very beginning. Even though the Heat counterattacked in the third quarter relying on O'Neal's explosion, the Pacers still led 80 to 71 at the end of the three quarters With the Heat's 9 points, this result also led to the fans of the home team at the American Airlines Arena and the media reporters who were waiting to see the Pacers' jokes. Now they are all extremely low-key. The extremely crazy Heat fans also lost their former momentum today.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat still deployed most of the main players. You must know that in the first three quarters, O'Neal hardly rested. In this case, if O'Neal played the entire fourth quarter It's obviously a bit unrealistic, but this seemingly unrealistic thing happened just now.O'Neal's physical fitness is absolutely top-notch in the current NBA, but O'Neal is 31 years old this year. It is difficult for a big man like O'Neal to maintain an excellent game state after playing more than 40 minutes in a high-intensity game. , In fact, since the 99-00 season, O'Neal's playing time has begun to decline year by year. Last season, O'Neal only played 61 games in the regular season, and his average playing time was only 35 minutes.But now, O'Neal has to continue playing after playing more than 30 minutes, because the current Heat, whether on the offensive or defensive end, are highly dependent on O'Neal. Being crushed by the Pacers and unable to move, let alone the Heat without O'Neal.

As for the Pacers, because the Pacers always have the advantage on the scene and the team has a big lead, the head coach of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle, now also looks like he is sure of winning.Although the Pacers' two substitute insiders can't prevent O'Neal, Rick Carlisle is not too worried now. After all, the Heat only have one O'Neal, and based on O'Neal's consumption in the three quarters, he has already It is difficult to last until the end of the game, so even if the Heat can continue to narrow some point differences now, as long as the Pacers' main force reappears, the Heat's collapse is in sight.

Although the Pacers are now all on the bench, but as O'Neal's physical strength continues to decline, the Heat have gradually begun to relax on the defensive end. Although O'Neal can still score continuously, correspondingly, after a sharp drop in defensive strength, The Heat also can't prevent the old Pacers on the court. I have to say that the veterans signed by Rick Carlisle this summer are still very strong. If you count them, they are only 100. With an annual salary of more than ten thousand US dollars, no matter how you look at these few signings, they are all worthwhile.

"The Heat are really in danger. They must now have someone stand up to help Shaq, whether it is Eddie Jones or Dwyane Wade, they must now have someone stand up to share some of the pressure for Shaq !” When the four-quarter game started, no matter how strong O’Neal was, there would always be someone on the Pacers’ side to fight back after O’Neal scored, making it impossible for the Heat to narrow the difference between the two sides to within 5 points. At this time Michaels on the commentary seat already seemed very anxious.If this continues, the Heat will not even talk about a comeback, even the hope of approaching the score is very slim. The current Heat has too many problems, but the 14-game winning streak at the beginning has covered up all of this, and the Heat's To help the players, he obviously lost himself in the constant praise from the outside world.

"Maybe a loss is not a bad thing for the Heat and Shaq!" With the whistle of the official timeout in the fourth quarter, 93 to 77, watching O'Neal, who was already panting and sweating, Magic Johnson I have given up any hope for the Heat. Meng Xu's dominance in this game is obvious to all. Even as strong as O'Neal, when Meng Xu is on the court, his offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced. With O'Neal now His teammates are far less powerful than Meng Xu's teammates, so although the game will end in 6 minutes, Magic Johnson can already imagine the scene after all the main players of the Pacers are on the field at this moment.

"I will definitely beat you in this game, I will definitely beat you!" After a short break, O'Neill reappeared after seeing Meng Xu pass by him, his eyes were red, and he looked at Meng Xu with a ferocious face Roared a few words.

"Shaq, accept your fate. You can't beat me now, unless you can find a teammate like Kobe again." Meng Xu didn't respond to O'Neal's provocation and roar. In Meng Xu's view, it was just O'Neal's resignation The performance of failure, and the last dying struggle.

"Nonsense!" As soon as Meng Xu mentioned Kobe, O'Neal was instantly furious. In O'Neal's current world, the name Kobe Bryant has become a taboo, and O'Neal's teammates basically dare not Mentioning Kobe in front of O'Neal, even if he mentioned Kobe, would replace Kobe's name with a little bastard or a white-eyed wolf like O'Neal did, not to mention what Meng Xu said just now, in O'Neal's view, he was completely mocking himself.

"Then let's wait and see!" Ignoring O'Neal's roar, Meng Xu walked directly towards the Pacers' half court. For some reason, Meng Xu, who used to like to bicker with opposing players on the court, has recently , No matter who you meet, you can no longer arouse your interest in "confrontation" with them.

"Damn it, this bastard is really too arrogant." Seeing Meng Xu's back, O'Neal gritted his teeth and said, but after the anger passed, O'Neal had to face the reality, that is, the current Heat really don't have a player like Kobe , to share the pressure for myself, not to mention competing with myself for the ball at the critical moment of the game.

"Now it's finally time for Meng Xu to perform." Although Michaels has basically given up hope for the Heat's reversal of the Pacers, when the main players of both sides reappeared, Michaels's interest still improved a lot unconsciously. , Compared with last season, Meng Xu's style of play has changed again this season. According to the words of those basketball experts, Meng Xu has grown from youthful to mature. Compared with the scoring maniac last season, Meng Xu, a super scorer who changed to a point guard, has reduced the number of shots this season from 23 shots per game last season to 16.5 this season, and his scoring average has also dropped below 30 points, but Meng Xu's Rebounds per game, assists per game, and even blocks per game have increased significantly. Although Meng Xu's style of play has changed, Meng Xu has a habit that always exists, that is, as long as the game enters fourth If the two sides have not yet decided the winner, then Meng Xu will definitely stand up and take over the game. In this game, although the Heat have no hope of winning, they still need someone to kick the Heat's ass for the last time. There is no doubt that this person must be Meng Xu.

"The game is over." As Michaels said, Meng Xu no longer continued to pass the ball to his teammates after playing again, but chose to take over the game. After a sufficient rest, after Meng Xu took over the game, there was no Any adjustments will show excellent touch. At the same time, on the defensive end, due to sufficient physical strength, Meng Xu still maintains a high-intensity defense. He blocked the shots of O'Neal and Eddie Jones for two consecutive rounds. When Meng Xu completed the steal in the hands of Damon Jones, the fast break succeeded, and after a wave of 8-0 attacks widened the difference between the two sides to 15 points, today's game can basically be declared over .

112 to 96, the Pacers were loudly away from the Heat. After defeating the Heat, the Pacers increased their winning streak to 15 wins, and they deservedly continued to rank first in the Eastern Conference.

"It's such a pity!" After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Michaels, who got the technical statistics of the game, suddenly shook his head with a regretful expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Magic Johnson, who had already sorted out his things, snatched the technical statistics sheet from Michaels' hands after hearing Michaels' lament. After seeing Meng Xu's data, Magic Johnson followed suit. Shaking his head, he made 18 of 11 shots, 3 of 8 4-pointers, 6 of 5 free throws, 31 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds, 7 steals, and 8 blocks. This should be the most complete skill in the NBA. Since the statistics, it is the closest to a five-double, but it is a pity that Meng Xu took a rest with more than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, Meng Xu might hit the five-double data today, at least a four-double It is very possible. If you count Meng Xu's quasi-quadruple-double against the Lakers, this is already the second time Meng Xu has missed a quadruple-double in his NBA career.

"This is definitely a great game!" Although the process of this game was not exciting at all, but with the data that Chong Meng Xu got today, today's game can already be described as great.

And when Magic Johnson called out Meng Xu's statistics in this game to all the fans in the American Airlines Arena through the microphone, the boos at the American Airlines Center stopped abruptly, and the disappointed reporters looked There was an unbelievable expression on his face, and soon, after a short silence, bursts of applause erupted in the American Airlines Arena. It goes without saying that these applause were all for Meng Xu.

And O'Neal, who had already walked to the sidelines, became even more ugly after hearing the applause around him, because O'Neal knew that his team's home court was now conquered by his greatest enemy!
