Chapter 153 Pippen VS Meng Xu (2)

"Boy, let me see, where is your upper limit?" Scottie Pippen did not choose to break through, but directly leaned sideways on Meng Xu, because Pippen knew that with Meng Xu in this game With the defensive prediction and lateral movement speed shown, it is still difficult for him to break through Meng Xu's blockade, so Pippen chose to play Meng Xu with his back.

After partnering with Jordan for more than 10 years, Pippen is also very proficient in Jordan's iconic back-turning and backward jumper after the back-turning, so the first thing Pippen thought of was to use Jordan's way Come deal with Meng Xu.Just when Pippen wanted to turn his back, he was shocked to find that Meng Xu had already stood in the position he wanted to turn around in advance.

"That's interesting." After his attempt to pass Meng Xu by turning his back went bankrupt, Pippen directly relied on his advantages in size and strength to push Meng Xu in from beyond the 3-point line.Although Meng Xu can judge in advance the intention of Pippen's back attack and the moment when he exerts force, Meng Xu still has to go up, because once he retreats, although Pippen also has the risk of making mistakes, but he cannot avoid it. He was about to lose his position. If he was a player with quick reactions, he would definitely turn around the moment he noticed Meng Xu's retreat.

When Meng Xu was staggered by Pippen, Pippen directly used a signature turnaround jumper to get back two points for the Blazers.After the ball was hit, Pippen glanced at Meng Xu behind him with a smile, and Pippen turned around and left.

"MD, it's too bullying." He is taller than me and weighs more than me. If you only play turnaround jumpers, you still play post-up singles with me. This is like O'Neal singled out Sean Ellie Ott, instead of taking advantage of his advantage to face the frame to attack, instead pouted his big butt, bit by bit to the basket and dunked.

"Yeah." Just when Meng Xu ran beyond the 3-point line and wanted to run as usual, the basketball passed to Duncan by Avery Johnson was directly transferred from the inside to Meng Xu's by Duncan. In hand, the team has a great advantage now, so it is necessary to play a little bit.Get up from wherever you fall, and Duncan also hopes that Meng Xu can pay Pippen back.

When he saw Meng Xu holding the ball outside the 3-point line, Pippen also greeted him with a smile on his face. He stepped on the 3-point line with one foot, hunched slightly, and stood less than one step away from Meng Xu. distance.

Meng Xu's attack with the ball this time is Meng Xu's first attack with the ball since the series with the Trail Blazers. In the previous two games, Meng Xu has always followed Popovich's tactics by running without the ball. Although Meng Xu didn't like this way of playing after he had a snake-shaped breakthrough, Meng Xu still persisted. For the team to win, although he played awkwardly, Meng Xu Xu also knows that he played very easily in these two games, and more importantly, under this tactic, Duncan can exert his greatest power, and whether the Spurs can win depends to a large extent. It depends on Duncan's performance.

Meng Xu's offensive methods are very simple, nothing more than 3-point shots, and layups after breakthroughs. In addition, this guy can't even guarantee the hit rate of the simplest mid-range shots. It's weird, so Pippen's defensive choice is very simple, try to push Meng Xu to the 3-point line, can't you shoot 3 points? One step outside the 3-point line, you can shoot casually, and ignore you at all, and at the same time defend his breakthrough, and basically don't need to think about the rest.

At this moment, Meng Xu has no intention of forcing a shot. Meng Xu missed his first 3-pointer in the game, so Meng Xu, who is very superstitious about the law of the first ball, is also very cautious in his choice of shots now. Even if there is no room to shoot, and at such a long distance, it is Pippen who is defending him. If Meng Xu really dared to shoot like this, Popovich would really dare to push Meng Xu to the bench to calm him down.

So after Meng Xu held the ball, without the slightest hesitation, he made a snake-shaped breakthrough. First, he made a fake move to the left. After Pippen was indifferent, Meng Xu took a big step directly to Pippen's right , and then quickly change direction, with Meng Xu's acceleration ability and breakthrough start ability, his breakthrough first step is also the fastest one in the current league, although after Meng Xu changed direction, Pippen has already followed On Meng Xu's footsteps, but after Meng Xu's continuous reverse direction changes, Scottie Pippen was inevitably left behind by Meng Xu. After Darth Sabonis, facing the empty Blazers basket, Meng Xu directly accelerated, then made a very easy layup and hit a two-pointer.

Seeing Meng Xu throwing himself away, Scottie Pippen also shook his head helplessly, dissatisfied, he couldn't do it anymore. Facing Meng Xu's breakthrough, Pippen tried his best to keep up with him. But in the end, the fate of being thrown away cannot be avoided, which was almost unimaginable before.Moreover, Meng Xu's breakthrough method is also unprecedented. When watching the Spurs and Lakers game, Pippen hasn't felt anything yet.And only when you experience it on the spot today can you know that the horror of this breakthrough method, regardless of how to deal with the basketball after the breakthrough, is just this breakthrough method. There are almost no defenses in the current league. The combination with Jordan can be defended, but now there is never a chance to try it.

"Good job." When Meng Xu made a successful layup, Duncan, who took the initiative to open the position for Meng Xu's breakthrough, gave Meng Xu who was rushing towards him a high-five to celebrate.

"I haven't been so tired for a long time." After Meng Xu showed his excellent breakthrough ability in front of Pippen, he returned to the offensive end and Pippen held the ball again. When he wanted to break through, he was blocked by Meng Xu After breaking through the route, he turned his back to Meng Xu again, and after pushing twice in a row, he finally got rid of Meng Xu's defense through an extremely quick back turn.But after Pippen got rid of him, Meng Xu followed Pippen immediately, and when he was about to rush into Duncan's arms, Pippen made an emergency stop in order to avoid Meng Xu's seal in the air. Guy, Pippen also made a pull action, and then very reluctantly threw the basketball in his hand before he landed.
