Chapter 120 Weird Breakthrough

"Jia Lun, give me the ball." In the second half of the first quarter, both teams replaced their main lineups. In order to let Meng Xu find his hand as soon as possible, Popovich still left Meng Xu on the court. Leading the bench with Mario Elie.The Lakers on the opposite side had a great advantage, so Mayfair Jackson simply sent a group of pure substitutes.

From the second half of this season, that is, after Sean Etrillo came back, with Mario Ellis placed on the bench, the Spurs bench lineup is generally led by Mario Ellis and Meng Xu in turns, and the bench The lineup basically has no tactics, just the xjbd tactics based on Meng Xu and Mario Ellis.

Hearing Meng Xu's yell just after halftime, Jalen Jackson was also taken aback, and then handed the basketball to Meng Xu. In the main lineup, Meng Xu basically played off the ball, but in the substitute lineup, Meng Xu likes to show off his passing ability. As the team's backup point guard, Jalen Jackson doesn't have much possession of the ball even when he is on the bench. Whether Meng Xu or Mario Eli is on the bench Among them, they are all the masters who like to stick the ball.In the bench lineup, Jalen Jackson also likes to cooperate with Meng Xu the most, because as long as he can run out of opportunities, Meng Xu will definitely pass the ball to him immediately, and it is precisely because of the personal relationship between Jaren Jackson and Meng Xu It is also very good.

Seeing that Meng Xu wanted to attack with the ball, Mike Budenholzer looked at Popovich with some dissatisfaction. Meng Xu's ability to attack with the ball was very low, and Popovich knew it. Even so, Popovich still tolerated Meng Xu's random behavior on the bench. In Mike Budenholzer's view, Popovich was too indulgent with Meng Xu, which didn't suit Popovich at all. Odd character and style.

"Is Meng going to attack with the ball? Although the Spurs have no chance in this round of the series, Meng can't mess around. We all know that Meng's offense without the ball is very good, but he basically has no ability to attack with the ball. "Seeing the situation on the court, Kenny Smith, the guest commentator of this game, was also a little puzzled.

"Meng is not a player who likes to be impulsive. I think he has his intentions when he does this." From Michaels' words, it can be heard that this guy is hopeless.

At this moment, Meng Xu started to accelerate directly from near the middle circle, took two big strides and reached the position outside the three-point line, and then Meng Xu lowered his body's center of gravity.

"How can you play like this." Seeing Meng Xu's offensive choices, Mike Budenholzer was also a little helpless. Meng Xu's movement speed is very good, but if you start to accelerate from such a distance, obviously there is no way to attack with the ball. experience.

Originally, when Meng Xu started to accelerate in the middle circle, Brian Shaw, who was facing Meng Xu, also called a rookie in his heart, but when Meng Xu put his body's center of gravity very low after accelerating, Brian Shaw It was only then that Brian Shaw realized that he was in trouble this time. As an old football ruffian who had been in the league for more than ten years, Brian Shaw had already developed the ability to know which player was more difficult to deal with just by looking at it.

At this moment, Brian Shaw went up to meet him. The rookie in front of him was so fast, it was basically certain that he wanted to make a straight line breakthrough, and a straight line breakthrough requires the most physical fitness, but it is also the least threatening one. breakthrough way.

"What!" Just when Brian Shaw stood in his position ahead of time and wanted to rely on experience to draw Meng Xu's offensive foul, he found that Meng Xu passed him with a very easy change of direction. He had already run behind him, and when this guy changed direction, he didn't slow down at all.

"It's a weird change of direction. I don't think there is any other player who can change directions so fast except Allen Iverson, but Iverson is a guard and Meng is a big man. It’s just unbelievable how it’s broken through.”

The moment Meng Xu broke through Brian Shaw, the Lakers' backup center Tyris Tate rushed out. Facing the attacking Tyris Knight, Meng Xu still had no intention of slowing down. He continued to rush forward with a slash, and when he was less than half a step away from Tyris Knight, Meng Xu made another change in the opposite direction of the previous change, starting from Tyris Knight's The edge of the arm slipped straight over, and Brian Shaw, who was chasing from behind, almost collided with Teres Knight.

After wiping Tyris Knight, Meng Xu turned in the opposite direction again. At this time, Meng Xu's eyes were already smooth, and the area from Meng Xu's body forward to under the basket was completely unguarded.

After taking a big step forward, Meng Xu jumped up when he was still about three meters away from the basket.When Meng Xu fell from the basket, the entire Alamo Stadium erupted.

"This kind of breakthrough and dunk really boosts morale. If I were Brian Shaw, I would definitely try my best to foul and not let Meng successfully dunk." Seeing a group of Spurs players with high morale on the court, Kenny Smith also joked. .

"Kenny, you butcher, God will not forgive you."

"It's coming again, it's coming again." Just when Michaels was still joking with Kenny Smith, Kenny Smith exclaimed again.

This time, Meng Xu's breakthrough trajectory was basically the same as just now. He first changed direction to get rid of Brian Shaw, and then changed direction in the opposite direction to break through Tyrese Knight. The difference from last time is that this time Meng Xu Incidentally, even AC Green gave it to the three defensive players who changed directions and broke through the Lakers three times. After Meng Xu scored 4 points in a row in this way and pulled the score of the two teams to 21 to 18, Mayfair Jackson took the lead. Time called a timeout.

"Greg, you already knew, didn't you?" After seeing Meng Xu's weird breakthrough, Mike Budenholzer, who was still a little dissatisfied with the wayward Meng Xu, grabbed Popovich's hand excitedly. Arms kept shaking.

"Mike, pay attention to your behavior. There are so many spectators behind you. Your words and deeds represent the image of the Spurs." Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Popovich pushed Mike Budenhall away. Ze.Although Popovich is also very surprised by Meng Xu's powerful breakthrough ability now, but Popovich is still mentally prepared for all this. Judging from Meng Xu's excellent mobility and reaction speed, Although in training, Meng Xu's breakthrough ability is very lame, purely relying on the straight line of speed to break through, but Popovich knows that Meng Xu will develop his own breakthrough method sooner or later.For this reason, Popovich even let Meng Xu mess around on the court when he was a substitute against his will. As long as it does not affect the team's performance, Popovich will turn a blind eye and close his eyes. Arrange for Avery Johnson to teach Meng Xu his breakthrough experience hand in hand.Originally, in Popovich's expectation, it would take at least two to three seasons for Meng Xu to undergo a qualitative change, but he did not expect that it was only one season, and Meng Xu brought himself a surprise.
