Chapter 107 The road ahead
As the first player to complete the 5*5 data in the playoffs, Meng Xu also won the milestone reward in the system again after the game, although compared with those random tasks, this A-level milestone reward is not very rich , the reward of 10 attribute points and a bottle of enchanting potion is better than nothing.

2000年5月8日，NBA季后赛的东西半决赛的首轮4场比赛全部结束，马刺客场掀翻了常规赛第一的湖人，奥尼尔打出了统治级的数据，全场比赛56分20个篮板4次盖帽，而邓肯48分22个篮板7次助攻的数据和奥尼尔相比也毫不逊色。

In the remaining few games, the Heat defeated the Knicks at home 87 to 83. This master-apprentice duel between Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy, the rivalry between the Knicks and the Heat, the whole game was also full of gunpowder. The two teams almost staged a gang fight again, and finally the Heat had the last laugh in this defensive battle.

步行者主场108比91大胜了76人17分，这场比赛中杰伦罗斯和雷吉米勒双双得到40分，步行者全场比赛三分球21投11中，雷吉米勒更是10投7中，原本防守就不好的76被步行者给打成了筛子。

In the last game, the Blazers beat the Jazz led by Malone and Stockton 94 to 75. Six of the Blazers scored in double figures, once again showing the league their terrifying lineup depth. In this season's playoffs Among them, the Blazers have become the team with the best defense and the most stable offense. They have suppressed the opponent's scoring below 6 points in 5 consecutive games.

On May 5, after two days of rest, the second game between the Spurs and the Lakers began. After David Robinson was absent and Duncan was fouled twice by O'Neal at the beginning, Meng Xu, who played well in the previous game, He was entrusted with an important task, but Meng Xu's performance was not up to standard. He only made 10 of 10 shots in the first three quarters. Although he regained his touch in the fourth quarter and scored 3 points in a single quarter, he was still powerless.

Due to being troubled by fouls, Duncan played only 20 minutes of the game and scored 16 points and 8 rebounds.

The best performance in this game is undoubtedly the Shark O'Neal. After scoring 56 points in the last game, O'Neal scored 55 points again in this game. In addition, he also had 19 rebounds and 7 blocked shots.O'Neal also became the second player to score 50+ in two consecutive playoff games after Michael Jordan, and the first player to score 55+ in two consecutive games.After losing Duncan, no one can stop the raging sharks. Even Popovich's hacking tactics failed to stop O'Neal. In this game, O'Neal scored 31 free throws and hit 23 of them. Second-rate.

The final score between the two sides was 103 to 87. After the Lakers defeated the Spurs at home, they moved the big score to 1 to 1.

"It's not your fault. With your current strength, you are no match for O'Neill at all. What's more, O'Neill's state in this game is not his normal state." Seeing Meng Xu who was a little depressed, Anna persuaded him from the side.

After the game against the Lakers, the Spurs returned to San Antonio. After returning home, Meng Xu entered the system space for additional training.This game can be said to be Meng Xu's first time leading the team alone. The Spurs used Meng Xu as the core for almost half of the game, but Meng Xu failed Popovich's trust. Although he had 23 points and 8 assists The data is not bad, but Meng Xu also sent a career-high 7 turnovers in this game.

"When will I really have the ability to change the game!" Meng Xu said in a low mood after opening his attribute bar.

Player's comprehensive ability evaluation 76 (C) (The player is a player with good physical talent, has certain defensive ability and 3-point offensive ability, and can become an important rotation player in the NBA.)
"Anna, do you think I should start increasing my offensive attributes?" Looking at his own attribute points, the feeling of powerlessness in this game came to mind again.

"It's useless for you to increase your offensive attribute points. Although attribute points are important, they don't represent everything. Your defensive attributes are worse than offense, but you can now be called one of the best defensive players in the NBA. This is because you have the support of three top-level defensive skills, and skills can sometimes make up for the gap in attribute points." Anna paused and continued: "And now you have even one shooting and breakthrough skills. None, even if your offensive attribute points are all filled up, it's useless."

"Then you mean to strengthen the defense?"

"At this stage, your defense is enough. Unless you encounter a pervert like Jordan Burr, or those players who are in a state of obsession, you can still deal with others. There is a saying in the basketball world that talent determines the upper limit, and physical strength determines the upper limit. The lower limit, no matter how good your talents and abilities are, if you don’t have enough physical strength to support them, you still can’t play the best role. Don’t you realize that your physical strength is still poor now? In high-intensity games like the playoffs, you play 30 minutes It's the limit, once it exceeds 30 minutes, your body's functions in all aspects will be greatly reduced."

"Well, I understand." After listening to Anna's explanation, Meng Xu added all the remaining 10 attribute points to stamina.

While Meng Xuwo was practicing hard in the system space, Popovich and his assistant Mike Budenholzer were already discussing the situation of the next game in the general manager's office of the Spurs. Lost to the Lakers, but this trip to Los Angeles, the Spurs have reached the set goal, which is to win at least one game and gain home court advantage.It can also be seen from these two games that the whistle of the league is somewhat biased towards the Lakers. Out of interest and box office considerations, David Stern hopes that everyone knows that Los Angeles and New York will meet in the finals.But if it's the Spurs' home court, those people certainly wouldn't dare to go too far.And David Robinson is currently recovering well, and he will return in the next game. If he can win two home games, then the Spurs will have a very high probability of advancing to the next round.
