Legendary star

Chapter 686 Playoffs for the first time

"Erwin, look at Meng Xu's data!"

87 to 63, at the end of the third quarter, the game between the Pacers and the Heat has basically entered garbage time, with one quarter left and a 24-point difference, the probability of the Heat pulling back the score is basically zero. It can be predicted that in the fourth quarter, both sides will probably send substitute lineups to play casually, and the game will be over, but after getting the technical statistics of the previous three quarters, Michaels has some expectations that the two sides will continue to send in the fourth quarter. It's time for the main players to fight.

"26 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 9 steals!" After receiving the technical statistics sheet handed over by Michaels, Magic Johnson was also a little surprised for a while. A quadruple-double, one steal, two assists, and 12 minutes left in the game, this is simply a breeze for Meng Xu. From the birth of the NBA to the present, there has not been a quadruple-double in the playoffs. There are only a handful of quasi-quadruple-doubles, so Magic Johnson and Michaels are now very much looking forward to Meng Xu's continued appearance in the fourth quarter and his first quadruple-double in the NBA playoffs at the American Airlines Center.

"Ervin, do you think Meng Xu will play in the fourth quarter?" Although he is looking forward to Meng Xu's continued appearance, Michaels is still a little uncertain. After all, the point difference is already so big. It's a bit too shameless, no matter what, everyone will look up and down in the future.

"Whether Meng Xu will play depends on the performance of the Heat, and of course it also depends on Meng Xu's mood." Glancing at the bench on the sidelines, where the Heat and the Pacers are arranging tactics, Magic Johnson smiled slightly If the Heat give up treatment after the start of the fourth quarter, then Meng Xu probably won't be on the court. On the contrary, if the Heat think they can save a little bit and make a counterattack after the start of the fourth quarter, then Meng Xu will definitely be on the court. He will continue to play. Of course, if Meng Xu is in a bad mood and wants to vent his anger on the court in response to O'Neal's remarks before the game, then no one can stop him. Magic Johnson's understanding of Meng Xu is not the same. There is no such possibility.

Sure enough, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat did not give up treatment, but sent Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, and Udonis Haslem three main players, while the Pacers Here, Meng Xu came out with a substitute lineup. Looking at Meng Xu with a sly face when he came out, Magic Johnson couldn't help but smile knowingly. What does quadruple mean.

"teacher......"

Because the score was too far behind, Eric Spoelstra, who was always in a state of anxiety, had no time to take care of him, but after seeing the Pacers' lineup, Eric Spoelstra Only then did I feel that something seemed wrong. I didn’t know until Eric Spoelstra went to the technical statistics desk to ask. Meng Xu was almost going to score a quadruple-double at the American Airlines Arena. Burned Eric Spoelstra immediately told his teacher Pat Riley the news.

"What?" Pat Riley, who was sitting on the bench chewing gum, almost choked on the gum after listening to Eric Spoelstra's words, even though Pat Riley Pat Riley isn't afraid to be a backdrop and a stepping stone, but after hearing that his first playoff quadruple-double is likely to be born on his home court and over his team heart palpitations.

If his team can win, even if Meng Xu scored a quadruple-double, it would not be enough, because the unspoken rule of the NBA is that the winner wins everything. At most, everyone will feel sorry for Meng Xu, just like Jordan back then. Data lost the game, and the final winner is still the Celtics, but now his team has little hope of winning. If Meng Xu scored a quadruple-double, and it was the first playoff quadruple-double in NBA history, That would definitely be big news. Not only would the wind of public opinion reverse, but even the morale of the Heat would inevitably be affected.

"Jason, be careful, don't get the ball stolen." Pat Riley, who was chewing gum calmly, could no longer sit on the bench. With Meng Xu's ability, no one could stop him. If you want to prevent him from getting a quadruple-double, you can only hope that a few Heat players on the field, especially point guard Jason Williams, will be more stable. You know that Jason Williams Stan is notoriously fond of playing tricks. If he plays well, it will be a top ten pass. If he does not play well, it will be a mistake.

Although I don't know why the head coach reminded himself to be more careful, after hearing Pat Riley's yell, Jason Williams was still a little more cautious, but he just glanced at Sarah in front of him. After Runas-Jaskovicius, Jason Williams felt that the coach's reminder was a bit redundant. Who in this league doesn't know Sarunas-Jaskovicius's air defense, Otherwise, the guard nicknamed "King of Europe" would not be a substitute for the Pacers.

After Meng Xu joined, the Pacers' rotation lineup can play against the Heat's main lineup, but the biggest difference between the rotation lineup and the main lineup is defense. The Pacers players on the court right now, let alone all The field is tight, and it is not easy to maintain a medium-intensity overall defense. Therefore, after the Heat passed the ball several times in a row, the Pacers' defense was already riddled with holes.

"Oops!" Although he was used to being ridden and ravaged by the opponent's players in various ways, when Sarunas-Jaskovicius found out that he was out of position, he still yelled inwardly. Meng Xu's Although the ability to help defend and fill is excellent, it is impossible for Meng Xu to fill up in time every time, especially Meng Xu just defended Derek Anderson for Anfernee Hardaway.

"Jason, here." After Meng Xu went to defend Derek Anderson, Anfernee Hardaway, who was out of position, took advantage of the opportunity to defend Antoine Walker, who was facing up to Meng Xu. The gap is not big, but Antoine Walker is much stronger than Anfernee Hardaway. With just a slight squeeze, Antoine Walker found a chance.

Jason Williams, who had gotten rid of Sarunas Jascovicius, was originally going to continue to break through to the inside, but after Antoine Walker reached out for the ball, Jason Williams Decided to hand over the basketball to Antoine Walker, but when passing the ball, Jason Williams was flustered again, and decided to make a very angry pass without looking behind his back.

However, to the horror of Jason Williams, who was still a little excited, the basketball passed from behind by him did not appear in the hands of Antoine Walker, nor did it appear in Jason Williams' vision , Looking back subconsciously, Jason Williams found that Meng Xu, who came out from nowhere, had already grabbed the basketball and made a fast break.

After stealing the ball, Meng Xu rushed to the front court under the boos of the audience, almost stepped on the free throw line to complete the jump, and then dunked the basketball in his hand into the basket hard.
