Legendary star

Chapter 227 tit for tat
"Meng, pay attention to your defense." When Meng Xu began to increase his shots, Meng Xu and Kobe gradually began to confront each other on the court, but Meng Xu still had a little restraint, after all, the Spurs were a team. A team that plays as a team, and he has to build up his strength for the big news in the fourth quarter.It's just that when Meng Xu began to put his energy into the offensive end, Meng Xu was a little more relaxed in defending Kobe. Just after Meng Xu was broken by Kobe just now, assistant coach Steve Cole was on the sidelines. Meng Xu yelled.

With Mike Budenholzer's ability getting stronger and stronger, and adding the title of championship assistant coach, Popovich also felt that it was time to release his disciple and let him take charge of it alone and experience experience. After all, coaching an NBA team is almost the highest dream of a basketball coach, and as the future successor selected by Popovich, Popovich also hopes to wait until he chooses to retire. I can come back to pick up my own class.Originally during the offseason, Popovich was contacting the team for Mike Budenholzer, but because Mike Budenholzer was too young, he failed in the end.But with the progress of this season, there are now 29 teams in the league, and the head coach position of more than 10 teams has been unstable, and now is the best opportunity for Mike Budenholzer. Many teams have offered an olive branch to Mike Budenhall, and Popovich is also persuading him to go out and make a fortune, even if he really fails, he can come back and be an assistant for himself. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience Opportunity.

At the same time, once Mike Budenholzer leaves, Popovich will re-select a chief assistant. In this case, Steve Kerr, who Popovich is very optimistic about, ushered in a A very good opportunity. Since the beginning of this season, Steve Kerr has started to learn from Mike Budenholzer, arranging tactics and commanding on the spot. Now Steve Kerr is also in high spirits, basically every game Standing on the sidelines and berating Fang Qiu.

But at this time, Kobe, who broke through Meng Xu's defense, made a jump shot after an emergency stop, raised his hands and waved to the fans in the audience. He accepted the cheers of the fans, and at the same time looked at Meng Xu provocatively. .

"Hey, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Why doesn't this brat know how to keep a low profile?" Looking at Kobe in the distance who was waving his arms and aggressively provoking him, Meng Xu shook his head. Shake your head.This is Staples, Kobe is the darling here, and with Kobe's performance today, he has the capital to be arrogant, but I just don't know if Kobe will be so arrogant after this game is over.

"Tim, what's going on with you today? Could it be that you were scared by that big fat man?" Seeing Duncan passing by, Meng Xu complained dissatisfiedly. Duncan's performance today was indeed a little abnormal. It was nearing the end and only got 7 points.If it was only O'Neal or Grant alone, they would not be able to restrain Duncan at all, but when O'Neal and Grant played together, Duncan was a little overwhelmed. It is unimpeded, who will explode whoever meets, even the Lakers of O'Neal and the trailblazers of many All-Star insiders, the Spurs are not afraid of them at all, but this season, the Spurs' inside combination has really encountered challenges.

Hearing Meng Xu complaining about him, Duncan rolled his eyes immediately, and cursed in his heart, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk, why don't you come and try two tricks with O'Neill Grant?

"I'm going, you guys can't be more selfish, what a beautiful pass, just wasted like this?" Seeing that he passed the ball to Duncan, but was passed by Duncan again, Meng Xu thought There was a murmur.Originally, Meng Xu was still thinking about scoring rebounds and assists in the first three quarters, and scoring casually, as long as Kobe didn't fall too far behind him. By the end of the game, he could get high scores and 3 points. Double, what a perfect ending.But now it seems that if he doesn't stand up, the Spurs will really lose to the Lakers by 3 points in the first half.

"The current situation is really unfavorable to the Spurs. When Tim is in a scoring drought, it is time for the other Spurs players to stand up, especially Meng Xu, to play more resolutely and stop being obsessed with passing the ball." Well, no matter how beautiful the pass is, it won’t help if it can’t be converted into an assist. If he can be half as good as Kobe, then the Spurs won’t be so passive in this game.” In the commentary on the sidelines, Michaels has already started to speak for the Spurs I am worried, and at the same time I am also worried about the ratings of this game. This game has been so hot before it started, even the limelight of the Christmas game has been overshadowed. It was originally expected to be as fierce as sparks hitting the earth. The duel is now showing a one-sided situation. If the Spurs are beaten at the end of halftime, wouldn't the resources spent by the NBA and the ABC TV network be in vain?
"Yes, in the past when facing the Lakers, the Spurs have always had an advantage inside, but judging from this game, I am afraid that the Spurs' inside advantage no longer exists." Unlike Michaels, the Magic Shi Johnson has a relaxed expression on his face now. After all, no matter how strict he is, the Lakers are also his old club and his home team. Although he is very optimistic about Meng Xu in his heart, but now he is in Staples, he can't say anything. Like Michaels, his buttocks are always crooked unconsciously, and he has to maintain at least a little bit of integrity in everything he says.

At this time, the basketball passed by Meng Xu returned to Meng Xu's hands after a circle, and this time it was Ron Haber who was defending Meng Xu. In this game, Ron Haber joined from last season. Since the Lakers, it has been the smoothest and easiest game against the Spurs. In the regular season and playoffs last season, the Lakers and the Spurs played a total of 11 games. Including the game at the beginning of this season, 12 games In the game, the two teams basically played very anxiously, and Ron Haber didn't even have a smooth game.Although this game only played less than half, the Lakers now lead the Spurs by 18 points, and he contributed 10 points and 7 assists in these 5 minutes of playing time.

"Boy, we will definitely win this game, haha." As an old man, Ron Haber, like his teammate Jordan, looked down on rookie players. In their eyes, basketball is a game for adults and men. A baby who hasn't graduated from college will only add to the frustration of the basketball game, especially Meng Xu's mouth is still very cheap. Every time he confronts him, he always bites an "old guy". Although he also calls him a rookie, but Meng Xu From Ron Haber's point of view, Xu's behavior is a disrespect for himself and the order of the league. Therefore, when the Lakers lead the Spurs by a large score, Ron Haber is also very happy now.

"Old guy, why can't you learn to be smarter?" Meng Xu swayed away from Ron Haber very easily with a feint on the spot, and then jumped up high in front of Ron Haber.

At this time, Ron Haber, who had lost his position, looked at Meng Xu who was jumping high. Sometimes, it's really powerless.

When Meng Xu shot the basketball into the basket with a beautiful arc, seeing Meng Xu still maintaining the post-shooting posture and looking at himself with disdain at the same time, Ron Haber was in a good mood More than half of it was lost immediately, and after Meng Xu scored this goal, his score in this field has reached 14 points.

"Wait for you to get out of the way and let me guard him." When Kobe passed by Ron Haber, he left a sentence that made Ron Haber even more unhappy.

"Kobe's shooting posture is really beautiful, and he is so similar to Michael." When Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer on Ron Haber's head, Kobe quickly countered Meng Xu on the offensive end, although it was only a Two points, but this answer-ball is undoubtedly the most popular among fans.At this moment, Michaels is also looking forward to Meng Xu's counterattack again, and at the same time secretly praying in his heart that the Spurs can be a little stronger and continue to maintain a little suspense, so as to ensure the ratings.

Soon, maybe Michaels’ prayer moved God. When the last attack in the first half of the game, Meng Xu dribbled the basketball to advance to halftime, kept overwhelming the time with only 2 seconds left, and then made a shot in front of Kobe. At the buzzer for 3 points, Michaels stood up from his seat excitedly, and the entire Staples even remembered the sparse applause.

"Hey, Tim, how many times have I told you, don't touch my hair again." Although still 14 points behind, although it was only a buzzer shot, the current situation on the field is as good as Meng Xu's. Just like killing, several Spurs players hugged Meng Xu and celebrated wildly, while Duncan, who was on the outermost edge, grabbed Meng Xu's head and fumbled.

At this time, not only the players on the Spurs field, but also Popovich on the sidelines, are now in a slightly better mood. If it weren't for Meng Xu's last two 3 points, I am afraid that the Spurs would fall behind the Lakers 20 points, and 20 points behind and 10 points behind give people a completely different feeling in the heart, and it is very obvious that Meng Xu's 3 points at the buzzer also greatly encouraged the Spurs team. morale.
