Legendary star

Chapter 207

"Greg, what's wrong with Meng today?" Looking at Meng Xu, who had a strong desire to attack, assistant coach Mike Budenholzer couldn't believe his eyes. In fact, when I proposed to develop singles tactics for Meng Xu, this guy was still shy, with an expression that I was not interested in scoring, but now that he is on the court, he is so crazy that even Mike Budenhoe Erze was taken aback. Is this the same Meng Xu who is called the perfect team player?
"Perhaps, what we were most worried about happened." Since watching the Huaguo men's basketball game against the United States in the Olympic Games, Popovich and Mike Budenholzer have been worried. He will also go it alone with the ball as in the national team. This kind of behavior will definitely not be allowed in the Spurs who rely on teamwork. Even Duncan's singles with the ball are limited. The Spurs have superstars The soil for survival, but there will never be superstar singles tactics.This is one of the reasons why Popovich chose to experiment with the triangle offense in the Spurs. It can not only integrate the two superstars, but also limit their singles.

"Maybe it's all caused by Stern." Since Jordan retired, the ratings and influence of the NBA have been getting lower and lower, which may also be related to the Spurs' style of play. In order to restore this decline, the league will promote a group of new stars this season. This summer, the so-called "Four Power Forwards" have been selected, and they are frantically building momentum.

Not only that, but now there are rumors that the league is preparing to continue to launch the "four shooting guards" and "four small forwards", in an attempt to change the quantity to cause a qualitative change.Under such circumstances, as long as he is an ambitious player, he will not let go of this opportunity.Although Jordan has retired, the league is still full of talents at the shooting guard position. Ray Allen, Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, and even special players who have changed from small forwards to shooting guards this season. Lacey McCready, all of them were talented young men.Compared with shooting guards, the competition for the small forward position is much smaller. Among the young small forwards in the league, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill and Tracy McCready are relatively outstanding. And Tracy McCready also changed his position this season and went to play shooting guard. Even so, based on Meng Xu's data last season, it would be a dream to get on this express train, so in this case Under the circumstances, Meng Xu had to change his style of play a little bit, at least double the scoring data compared to last season, before he could hope to enter this lineup.

"Coach, let him calm down." Steve Kerr also took the opportunity to advise Popovich. No player in the Spurs would dare to ignore his teammates and say this to Meng Xu on the court. Crazy singles, not even Tim Duncan.If you keep rushing inside, it's okay, at least you can drive your teammates a little bit, and in the way make a few kills or something.And Xiang Mengxu's current singles style of holding the ball by himself for a few seconds, and then directly pulling out his hand from outside the 10-point line, is completely a kind of singles with cancer to the extreme. Opponents with good hands are afraid, and those with bad hands His teammates were afraid at the time, and that’s the case now. Meng Xu made all 3 shots after the game started. After the Timberwolves called a timeout, he hit the iron twice in a row. The two best insiders in the league, David Robinson and Tim Duncan can only wait at the basket to grab rebounds now.

"No, it was agreed to give him a period of time. After the official timeout, Tim and David will be replaced." Popovich waved his hand. Now there is a dilemma.Let him play enough in the second half of the first quarter, and then come back to sit on the bench for me honestly. For the next few away games, let him stay in San Antonio to reflect on himself.

"Every superstar has the means to adjust their touch and offensive state. If they don't make a shot, they will break through a few times. When they feel the touch recovers, they will shoot a few times and repeat this. Therefore, no matter how they feel at a certain stage of the game No matter how bad it is, when the game is over, you will find that their overall shooting percentage is in an acceptable or very good range. Of course, unless they are possessed by Iron God in a certain game, in this case Now, no one can save them. And you, while increasing your offensive methods, you must also learn to adjust your game state and shooting percentage, this is your first step on the road to becoming a superstar." In Zhong Slapping the basketball below the circle, recalling what Anna said to herself before the start of this season.After Sam Mitchell started to defend himself, Meng Xu failed to make two consecutive pull-up shots, so Meng Xu also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to pull up from the outside, and instead wanted to break through the inside of the Timberwolves.

When Meng Xu dribbled the basketball and started to speed up, Sam Mitchell was also a little confused. This guy didn't play according to the routine. He shot well just now. Why is he about to break through all of a sudden?
Although Sam Mitchell has rich experience in the game, he immediately blocked Meng Xu's breakthrough intention after seeing Meng Xu's breakthrough intention, but in the face of the strange breakthrough method of snake-shaped breakthrough, Sam Mitchell was powerless , I could only watch Meng Xu in front of me, after making an unreasonable change in the opposite direction, he left himself behind.After Sam Mitchell was passed by Meng Xu, Kevin Garnett, who was fighting for position with Duncan just now, rushed towards Meng Xu immediately.

Garnett's footwork is very good, and the defensive prediction is also top-notch, but after Meng Xu's two consecutive direction changes, he can only watch Meng Xu rushing to the basket and scoring a layup. .

"Your breakthrough posture is the ugliest I have ever seen. Please, can you change the breakthrough method next time." After Meng Xu made a layup, he passed by Kevin Garnett. Meng Xu spat out a trash talk.During Meng Xu's breakthrough just now, his upper body leaned forward, his head was buried deep, his whole body's center of gravity was placed very low, and he was dangling with his buttocks. This breakthrough method also ruined Garnett's three views .

"Kevin, it doesn't matter if you're handsome or not. What's important is being able to put the basketball in the basket." Garnett is also very famous for his trash talk. Fortunately, Meng Xu basically has no chance to match him, otherwise he would have to fight He can't compete.

After scoring this breakthrough, Meng Xu began to continuously rush into the inside of the Timberwolves. Relying on the ugly breakthrough method Garnett said, he scored 6 points in a row, and Meng Xu scored in a single quarter in the first quarter. It also reached 15 points. At the same time, under Meng Xu's cancerous style of play, other Spurs players, including Tim Duncan, did not score a point. Even so, the Spurs still scored 15 to 9. Leading the Timberwolves by 6 points.

In this game, it can be said that the Spurs gave Meng Xu a chance. Before the game, the head coach and assistant coach promised that Meng Xu would play freely in the first quarter in front of all the players.The Spurs' two big men, David Robinson and Tim Duncan, are also very cooperative with Meng Xu now. At the same time, they also want to see to what extent Meng Xu can play freely, so at the beginning of this game, almost It became a game where Meng Xu singled out the entire Timberwolves team.Avery Johnson only needs to be responsible for dribbling the ball through the middle circle, and he has nothing to do, while the rest of the Spurs players only need to wait for Meng Xu to shoot, and then prepare to grab rebounds. This style of play, let alone the Spurs , It is unheard of for the Bulls to own Jordan.

And now Meng Xu is also playing very refreshingly. It can be said that it is the most enjoyable game in his entire career.The only slight disadvantage is that this kind of continuous ball-holding singles is very exhausting. Just over 4 minutes later, Meng Xu was already sweating profusely. This was because Meng Xu had deliberately saved As a result of physical strength, if this game is still the same as before, with no hesitation on the defensive end to press and assist defense, I am afraid that at least one-third of my physical strength has been consumed by now.

"El, is this kid a shooting paranoid?" Magic Johnson in the commentary was also stunned by Meng Xu's performance in this game. Originally, Magic Johnson was still thinking about when to give him some pointers. , Now it seems that there is no need for this at all. Could it be that the team spirit he showed before was all fake?Thinking of this, the magician still shook his head and denied his own thoughts. His vision might be wrong, but that guy Larry would never make a mistake.

"Ervin, I don't know too well, but Meng's singles ability now should be at the top of the league." Not only Magic Johnson, but even Michaels couldn't believe the one on the field. No. 5 is Meng Xu. This kind of paranoia about attacking the basket can only be compared with the young Jordan.

"Only a player who is invincible in singles can make the opponent feel fear from the bottom of his heart. With Meng's current performance, he does have this potential, but I still hope that Meng can develop in the direction of the team. After all, basketball is a five-person sport. It's Michael, and he can't win the championship without relying on his teammates." Magic Johnson looked at Meng Xu's back at this time, and his mood was a bit complicated. In the current NBA, the team is king.
