Chapter 123 The Opening of the Brush Road

57 to 53, when the Spurs entered the third quarter with a 4-point lead, Popovich made adjustments to the lineup on the field again. This time, the five players Popovich sent to the field were, Center Tim Duncan, power forward Sean Ettelio, small forward Mario Ellis, two guards are Meng Xu and Avery Johnson, several players on the Spurs field, except for Duncan, are all capable Players with a certain three-point ability, and except for Meng Xu, these players all found their shooting touch in the second quarter.

Due to the Spurs' three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, Mayfair Jackson will definitely make targeted arrangements for the Spurs' three-pointers, so Popovich also instructed Meng Xu in the locker room. At the beginning stage, go directly to the inside of the Lakers. It is best to score a few points in a row, or cause them to kill, so that the Lakers can shrink to the inside again.

While Popovich changed, Mayfair Jackson also made another change. In order to enhance the team's defense, Mayfair Jackson once again sent AC Green and O'Neal to partner. AC Green's offense and understanding of the triangle offense Far inferior to Robert Holly, but AC Green's defense is much better than Robert Holly.At the same time, Ron Haber was also replaced by Fisher, who was younger and more physically fit. Ron Haber could not only prevent Avery Johnson, but also Mario Elli. Ron Harper has been raped several times by Avery Johnson and Mario Ellis.

After the start of the third quarter, O'Neill looked at Meng Xu, who was not far from him near the middle circle, and frowned thoughtfully. If Meng Xu came to him directly after breaking through, O'Neal would still respect him He is a man, but after this guy broke through, he either went to Robert Hawley to cheat for a foul, or he disrupted the Lakers' defensive formation and then passed the ball to the outside. At the last moment of the second quarter, facing Meng Xu's breakthrough, O'Neal couldn't help pulling it out, and was immediately dunked by Duncan behind him.If it's just a simple breakthrough, O'Neal believes that no player can break through his defense, but after this kind of breakthrough, O'Neill's headache will be caused by the ghostly scoring.

After the game restarted, after Avery dribbled the ball through the middle circle, he still handed the ball to Meng Xu on the right side as before, and then ran towards the free throw line. After Meng Xu received the ball, he looked one step away Kobe Bryant was also a little hesitant. Facing Kobe's defensive style, Meng Xu could have just jumped up and shot on the spot, but Meng Xu didn't make a shot. He didn't take another three-pointer, and for several consecutive games, Meng Xu's outside shooting felt very bad.Mayfair Jackson apparently also discovered this problem. From Kobe's defense, it can be seen that the Lakers would rather let Meng Xu's shot and prevent him from breaking through.

"Beautiful breakthrough, Meng Xu once again got rid of Kobe, and the defensive Fox was also given by Meng Xu. Meng's breakthrough speed and change of direction are really too fast."

"This time Meng didn't pass the ball, but continued to rush towards the inside. Is he looking for O'Neal?" When Michaels was still exclaiming for Meng Xu's breakthrough, Meng Xu had already rushed to the edge of the paint area. But this time it was O'Neill who stood in front of Meng Xu, not Hawley before.

In the previous games, as long as Meng Xu broke into the inside, the first person he would look for was Robert Hawley. Hawley was not much taller than Meng Xu.Moreover, Holly's defense, whether it's space occupation or blocking ability, even his physical talent is far from O'Neal's. One-on-one with Holly, Meng Xu has no psychological pressure at all.

Only this time, after Hawley left the field, Meng Xu didn't go to AC Green who replaced him, but rushed directly at O'Neal.

"It's so arrogant. Meng actually wants to trouble O'Neal. Who is O'Neal? O'Neal is the strongest center in the league." After seeing Meng Xu's offensive options after getting rid of Fox, Kenny Smith also sucked Take a breath, not to mention Meng Xu, even his former teammate, when Olajuwon was still at his peak, he could only outwit O'Neal and was invincible.

Next to Kenny Smith, the number one Meng Chuan Michaels, was dumbfounded when he saw Meng Xu wanted to challenge O'Neal.

"Very good, boy, you are finally coming. I really admire your courage." Seeing Meng Xu rushing towards him, O'Neill was also excited. This time, he must teach him a good lesson so that this rookie I know what a wrong choice it is to provoke myself.

"This kid." Seeing Meng Xu on the field, Popovich was also a little speechless. He asked you to go inside, but didn't let you go directly to O'Neal. Isn't AC Green next to him very good?

When Meng Xu accelerated to the point where he was still one step away from O'Neal, Meng Xu used the last change of direction. Seeing Meng Xu change direction again, O'Neal, who was already ready to block Meng Xu, quickly turned towards Meng Xu. Turn in the direction of the past.

"Boy, you have no chance." When O'Neal completed his turn, Meng Xu had no room to attack, because O'Neal's right foot was only half a step away from the bottom line. If Meng Xu changed direction, he would continue to yearn for the basket Chong, then it is probably a mistake.

"This big fat guy is really difficult to deal with." After seeing O'Neal's excellent positioning and prediction, Meng Xu also smiled, because Meng Xu never thought about layup or shooting from the beginning of this breakthrough. Meng Xu's plan has always been to divert O'Neal's attention, and then find a way to pass the ball to Duncan behind O'Neal.

"No, I was fooled." When he saw the smile on the corner of Meng Xu's mouth, O'Neill remembered that after he turned around, Duncan behind him was completely unguarded.

At the moment when O'Neal turned around just now, Duncan, who was still fighting for position with O'Neal, quickly gave up the entanglement with O'Neal and entered the paint area ahead of time. When Duncan silently read from 1 to 2 in his heart, Meng Xu's pass really When it arrived, Duncan dunked directly without the slightest hesitation.

"Big guy, your defense is not bad." This sentence sounds like a compliment, but it is a great irony to O'Neill.

After halftime, Meng Xu saw his stats, 8 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. If he works hard, he is likely to win his first triple-double, and the triple-double will be won after the game. His performance evaluation is B-level, and B-level evaluation rewards can get 100 points and experience, so for the extra points and experience, Meng Xu also had the idea of ​​brushing data for the first time.
