Legendary star

Chapter 241 Are you here to be funny?

When Meng Xu completed this series of breakthroughs, the entire MCI Center Arena erupted in cheers instantly. Meng Xu's breakthrough just now was really shocking. With a height of 2 meters, he can still use that kind of The breakthrough like a small guard, especially when Meng Xu finally faced the double-teaming of Antonio Davis and Vince Carter, the man with the ball at his fingertips passed the ball, which is really imaginative.

And Antonio Davis, who was pierced by Meng Xu, is not so relaxed now. It is foreseeable that he will definitely become the background board in tomorrow's sports news.

"Larry, this is a fingertip dribble, this is a fingertip dribble." Seeing Meng Xu's continuous sharp changes of direction and Meng Xu's last fingertip dribble and passing through the crotch, Michaels directly Falling into madness, dribbling with fingertips, the stunt of Thomas the Smiling Assassin, this is the most perfect dribbling method that can combine dribbling and breakthrough. Unexpectedly, in today's All-Star Game, this stunt Once again out of the rivers and lakes.

"It's really unexpected. After Isaiah, someone can perform such an excellent way of controlling the ball again." After seeing Meng Xu's performance on the court, Larry Bird was also shocked for a while, although he and Isaiah Thomas has some grievances, but he has to admit that Thomas' dribbling is the best he has ever seen.And Larry Bird also thought that he already knew Meng Xu very well, but he didn't expect that this little guy could still bring him a little surprise every time. Now Meng Xu, except for mid-range shots and layups, other Everything is perfect enough, or in other words, has surpassed the former self.

And when Meng Xu got rid of Carter and Davis, he rushed to the basket with two steps of acceleration. After taking off against Anthony Mason Jr., in order to avoid the blocks of Anthony Mason Jr. and McGrady in the air, Meng Xu used a After dodging them with a very beautiful lever, he threw the basketball towards the hoop.

But when Meng Xu's basketball was thrown, just a second later, the cheers of the fans in the audience turned into a burst of regret, because the basketball thrown by Meng Xu did not fall into the basket, but Flying along the edge of the basket directly to the other side of the court.

"It's really a pity. Meng's attack, whether it is a breakthrough or a pull in the air, can be called perfect. It's just a pity that this goal didn't go in." After seeing Meng Xu's failed layup, Magic Johnson He also said very regretfully.Seeing Meng Xu's excellent ball-handling ability and mastery of connecting balls just now, Magic Johnson is even more convinced that Meng Xu will definitely become a player like himself. If it is not because he has no status in the Lakers now, Otherwise, I will definitely use all means to bring Meng Xu to Staples, and Meng Xu will definitely be able to regain the glory of "showtime".

"Yes, it's really a pity. If this goal is scored, it will definitely be the best goal of the day." Michaels in the middle of the commentary also looked regretful.

And Meng Xu's eyes widened at the moment, looking at the predicament in front of him, but fortunately, Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound. After grabbing the offensive rebound, Duncan immediately handed over the basketball to Meng Xu who was still under the basket. At this time, Meng Xu didn't expect that Duncan would pass the pass to himself. After being stunned for a while, before Meng Xu could make a shot, the referee's whistle blew, and Meng Xu violated the 3-second basket.

"Meng, your layup is really..." Looking at the embarrassed Meng Xu, Duncan patted Meng Xu's head and retreated quickly after speaking halfway.

"Meng, are you here to be funny?" O'Neal, who was sitting on the sidelines in a suit, was already laughing. When Meng Xu retreated and passed the bench, O'Neal also stood up from the bench and imitated Meng Xu. With the expression just now, when O'Neill's figure appeared on the big screen in the center of the court, the audience was also amused by O'Neill.

"I'll go, this big fat man will really make trouble." Watching O'Neill's exaggerated performance, Meng Xu grinned at O'Neill, then completely ignored the big fat man's taunt.

"This kid has improved again." Adelman on the sidelines also sighed in his heart after seeing Meng Xu passing by him.This year's Kings players have reached the pinnacle of their careers, and their cooperation with each other has become perfect. It is impossible for the Kings, who are currently ranked first in the league, to have no idea about the Larry O'Brien Cup, but In the current Western Conference, the Trail Blazers, Lakers, and Spurs are the top 3 side by side. It is not so easy for the King to get out of them, especially the Spurs, who are born to be the King's nemesis. The 3 confrontations this season, except for the first game Meng Xu was absent, Webber exploded, and the Kings defeated the Spurs. The Kings lost miserably in the other two games. The combination of Meng Xu and Duncan was very restrained against the Kings' Princeton system, especially Meng Xu's match against Stowe. Jakovic's defense, Stojakovic, who has averaged 20+ per game this season, averaged only 9.5 points per game in the next two games against the Spurs.

So thinking of this, Adelman has some headaches. Originally, the Spurs with Duncan and David Robinson are already strong enough, but now Meng Xu is stepping towards the superstar step by step. If it is really in the playoffs How to deal with the Spurs in the game.

When the official timeout of the first quarter came, Adelman and Larry Brown both replaced the substitute lineup. In the All-Star Game, the rights and tasks of the head coach are actually very small. There is basically a set of rules for when and who should play, so the head coach of the All-Stars only needs to follow this set of rules.Several starting players are the protagonists of this game, so they will have more playing time, about 30 minutes, and the rest of the substitutes will also take turns playing, but the specific playing time depends on how well the game is played , and the specific situation on the field.

After the timeout, the Western All-Stars sent David Robinson, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Rasheed Wallace and Gary Payton. Such a very strange lineup, except Except for Payton, the other four are all insiders, and all of them are over 2 meters tall. Therefore, although Rasheed Wallace is a guest shooting guard, the Western All-Star is actually a four-insider now. , Such a lineup that shines through the past.

As for the Eastern Conference All-Stars, it is a little more normal. Center Dikambe Mutombo, power forward Glenn Robinson, small forward Jerry Stackhouse, and the two guards are Rea Len and Stephen Marbury, this kind of lineup of one big and four small, if the center can change to a more comprehensive offensive method, then this lineup will be relatively perfect.

After the substitute lineups of the two teams came on the field, the field completely entered the performance time, and all kinds of alley-oops emerged one after another. Although the Western All-Stars had a huge inside advantage, the lineup of four insiders also had very big flaws. Although the Eastern All-Stars It's a lineup of one big and four small, but they don't play positional battles with you at all, but grab rebounds in the backcourt and fast break after serving baseline balls. This group of swingmen really give full play to their speed To the extreme.

In the end, after the first quarter ended, the Western All-Stars led the Eastern All-Stars by 28 points 23-5. Whether they were the main players or the substitutes, as long as the Western All-Stars resolutely played inside, the Eastern All-Stars had almost no chance. , and Meng Xu, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time, did not get any chances in this game. He missed the ball in the most outstanding breakthrough. In the first quarter, he only made 3 of 2 shots, scored 1 points, 3 rebound, and 1 assists. On a team with Webber, Duncan, Kobe, and Kidd, it was too difficult to grab rebounds. It's Duncan and Webber, and they are surprisingly good at judging where the basketball falls.

In the first quarter of the game, the chances of the Western All-Stars were relatively average, so there were not many players who scored too much. Everyone was your score and my score. Among the 10 players who played in the first quarter, all Both score.On the eastern side, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Tracy McGrady were a little absent-minded, and didn't play much in the entire first quarter, while Iverson and Dikambe Mutombo took the All-Star game to the next level. Playing as a playoff, Iverson scored a game-high 6 points in the first quarter, but only made 8 of 3 shots.

When the second quarter started, the starting lineups of the two sides continued the same style of play as in the first quarter. The difference was that Kidd was handed over to Meng Xu for the first attack in the opening game. When Meng Xu held the ball again When standing between the middle circle and the top of the arc, it was McGrady who defended Meng Xu this time. After the opening of the second quarter, Carter switched positions with his cousin McGrady, and he defended Kobe, McGrady came. Defend Meng Xu.

"Tracy, how are you doing today? This isn't like your usual self?" McGrady was really absent-minded today. In the entire first quarter, he only took one shot from the outside, and he hasn't made a shot yet. So far, he still has 1 point. not yet.

Like Meng Xu, McGrady, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, came here with the mentality of playing soy sauce, and now the Magic is also at a critical moment for the playoff spot, so McGrady can also paddle in this game Just paddling is an entertainment game anyway.After experiencing continuous failures at the beginning of the season, the Magic is now on the right track. Relying on a wave of 5 consecutive victories before the All-Star Game, the current Magic ranks ninth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23 wins and 23 losses. The Celtics, ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, have only half a game left, and the Magic will play against the Celtics in the first game after the All-Star break, so McGrady also tried his best in today's game are preserving their strength.
