Legendary star

Chapter 242
"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful." When Meng Xu once again resorted to the same breakthrough method as the breakthrough just now, this time Meng Xu's layup was very straightforward and went into the net. After the basket was hit, Michaels stood up directly from the commentary booth, applauding Meng Xu along with the audience, while constantly praising Meng Xu's attack.

After the opening of the second quarter, Meng Xu faced McGrady as soon as he held the ball. It was basically the same as the last time. Carter and Anthony Mason Jr., facing the empty basket, Meng Xu made a very easy layup.Seeing Meng Xu's drastic change of direction and his body's almost touching ground breakthrough, Michaels was also worried in his heart whether Meng Xu would injure his ankle during one of his breakthroughs.

"Such a breakthrough is still possible. Meng Xu's breakthrough method is really unprecedented." Far away in the capital of the Celestial Dynasty, in the studio hall of CCAV, when the picture of Meng Xu's breakthrough layup was transmitted to CCAV through the live broadcast satellite, this Zhang Lili, a famous teacher in the history of Chinese basketball, couldn't help but admire him.Originally, for Meng Xu's breakthrough in the first quarter, Teacher Zhang Lili was astonished. He used up all the adjectives in his mind to describe Meng Xu's breakthrough, but in the end Meng Xu failed to make a layup. It also made Teacher Zhang Lili blush, and this time, Meng Xu finally lived up to Teacher Zhang's expectations.

"It's true. I really can't think of anyone else who can use this breakthrough method. The speed is so fast, the change of direction is so large, or the continuous change of direction without slowing down. This breakthrough method, It is impossible to defend at all." Following what Teacher Zhang Lili said, Xu Cheng, who started to explain the NBA this year, continued.

. . . . . . .

It was the Eastern All-Star's turn to attack. This time, after Carter received the baseline ball from Mutombo in the backcourt, he did not hand the basketball to Iverson, or directly pass a long pass to the frontcourt to launch a fast break. He directly took the ball and slowly advanced through the half court. Just after Carter passed the ball through the center circle, Carter handed the basketball to McGrady who was already waiting on the left side of the 3-point line.Meng Xu hit McGrady just now, so according to the unspoken rules, McGrady should return one, and Carter is still McGrady's cousin. At this time, although Carter is not needed to stand up for McGrady, Carter is also afraid that Iverson will not obey the rules. After all, Iverson is notoriously fond of the ball, Iverson's offensive desire, even Carter himself is ashamed.

After catching the ball, McGrady glanced at his cousin in the distance. When he saw his cousin Carter nodding towards him, McGrady was also moved. Soon, facing Meng Xu who rushed up to defend him, McGrady held the basketball in one hand, turned his body slightly, and separated his steps.

"Tracey, remember that game we had at the Waterhouse Center? Now this stage is bigger than there, and now, let's continue that unfinished duel." A stage without an opponent is lonely , is lonely, it is precisely because of Larry Bird that Magic Johnson is even more great, and the same is true for Larry Bird.The reason why Jordan retired is also because of the lack of a sufficient opponent.And Meng Xu, since the beginning of this season, has always regarded Kobe and McGrady as his biggest opponents in the future, and every time he confronts Kobe and McGrady, Meng Xu will feel blood spurting, so in this game, When Meng Xu saw the disinterested McGrady, Meng Xu now wanted to stimulate his fighting spirit and let the two of them have another passionate answer-ball.

"Continue the duel between us?" After hearing Meng Xu reminding himself in his ear, McGrady also remembered that game again. Although his team lost, the duel with Meng Xu in that game, but Let yourself feel extremely carefree and comfortable, and then just for a moment, McGrady, who was still sleepy, suddenly seemed to be a different person, turning into a sharp sword that has been unsheathed.

"Meng, I won't be polite anymore." After Mai Di yelled at Meng Xu in a low voice, he made a fake move on the spot, and then stepped towards the left side of Meng Xu's body. After being blocked by Meng Xu , McGrady made two consecutive cross steps in front of Meng Xu, and while Meng Xu was shaking with him, McGrady suddenly took a step back, jumped directly outside the 3-point line, and hit a 3-pointer.

"Tracey's shot is so elegant." Larry Bird on the commentary was also impressed by McGrady's shot. Stepping back and taking off, they are all so graceful, and even after taking off, his figure in the air is so stretched. This is a player with extremely high talent and at the same time, he is also very entertaining to play.

"I think Meng Xu's performance is not inferior in this regard." Just after Larry Bird's voice fell, Magic Johnson directly pulled Meng Xu out to refute Larry Bird.And back on the court, after McGrady shot Meng Xu once, Kidd handed over the basketball to Meng Xu again in this Western All-Star attack, and all the rest of the Western All-Star players also It's all pulled away, let Meng Xu go to a one-on-one duel with McGrady.

But this time, Meng Xu didn't try to break through McGrady. Instead, he dribbled the basketball with his left hand and took a step forward. After shaking McGrady for a while, he then changed hands and made a breakthrough to the right, while protecting the ball half sideways. Left corner * cross step, followed by a right shoulder turn, followed by a back turn, a step laterally to the left of McGrady, and then a step back to take off on the spot and sideways. When Meng Xu's series of movements are completed, McGrady could only reluctantly rush towards Meng Xu, but when McGrady jumped up and interfered with Meng Xu, the basketball in Meng Xu's hand had already been thrown.

After Meng Xu hit the ball, everyone in the MCI center arena including the West All-Star bench was elated, and David Robinson and Nowitzki even rushed to the sidelines and waved their hands exaggeratedly. The towel in the middle of the suit, and the big fat man in the suit and leather shoes also opened his mouth wide, looking at Meng Xu who was high-fiving Duncan on the field with an incredulous expression. Perhaps at a moment, O'Neal thought of his former partner, recalled Those green years of fighting side by side together.

"Meng Xu and Tracy are perhaps the most entertaining players in this league right now." In just one round, Michaels crowned the duel between Meng Xu and McGrady with a very big hat.

"Yes, Meng Xu and Tracy are undoubtedly the two best small forwards in this league now, and their playing style is also very similar to that of Anferney and Grant back then. Perhaps in Scottie, Anferney and Grant's After Grant, the league will once again usher in two small forwards with extraordinary talents." Now Larry Bird looked at Meng Xu and McGrady who were still fighting on the field, and he also sighed, just 7 or 8 years ago , That is to say, not long after I retired, this league ushered in a prosperous age of small forwards, Scottie Pippen, who gradually entered the peak, and Anfernee Hardaway, Glenn Robinson and Grant who just entered the league Hill, but with the aging of Pippen and the injury of Hardaway, Hill and Robinson have never been able to prove their ability to lead the team. Therefore, since Larry Bird and Pippen, there has never been a small forward. There has been a super giant in the past, and now the duel between Meng Xu and McGrady, as well as the talents shown by the two of them now, undoubtedly represent that this league will once again usher in a prosperous age of small forwards.

"Larry, Meng and Tracy are not small forwards. Tracy is now a shooting guard, and Meng is now a point guard, a point guard." After Larry Bird said the words of a talented small forward Immediately afterwards, Magic Johnson began to refute him, and when he said Meng Xu, he repeated it heavily.

"Tracey, beautiful, very beautiful pull-up jumper." Seeing that another quarrel would break out between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, Michaels, who was sitting between the two, also started to change the subject at the right time.

Just after McGrady hit a jumper, and after the last 3-pointer missed, Meng Xu gave up fighting for 3-pointers with McGrady, but rushed towards the basket again. This time, the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference faced Meng Xu's breakthrough , still had no way to deal with it. When Meng Xu rushed to the basket and dunked successfully with both hands, the fans in the audience broke out again.Now the cheers and applause of the entire MCI center arena are one after another. The duel between Meng Xu and McGrady is really exciting.

On the court, whether it is the Eastern All-Star or the Western All-Star, they are creating opportunities for the duel between Meng Xu and McGrady. There is no way to prevent the opponent, whether it is McGrady's dry pull, or the emergency stop jump shot after the lateral movement, or Meng Xu's swaying in place, or even Meng Xu's weird and crazy way of breaking through. An attack that cannot be defended.In the end, when the time for substitutions in the second quarter came again, in these 6 minutes, Meng Xu made 9 of 6 shots, 3 of 5 3-pointers, and scored 15 points.And McGrady also made 8 of 5 shots, 3 of 4 2-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points.
