Chapter 259 Super high golf quotient

"Tim, I think you need to be tougher. The insiders of the Mavericks look like a bunch of softies. You don't look like an MVP at all." Sitting on the bench, with a piece wrapped around his head Towel, Meng Xu, who felt a little bored watching the substitutes fighting on the field, pushed Duncan who was in a daze in the distance. At the end of the 3rd quarter, he deliberately avoided himself and did not sit with him.

"You..." Duncan turned his head and stared at Meng Xu with a serious face. He wanted to say something, but held back.Duncan was indeed a little upset in this game, but it wasn't because he failed to record devastating statistics in the first game after being crowned MVP, but because the team's current performance really didn't satisfy Duncan.Data is the least thing Duncan cares about. Duncan is now No.1 in the league. For Duncan, only the team's victory is what he cares about most. Data, no matter when, Duncan can't do that kind of thing.

While Meng Xu and Duncan were staring at each other, Popovich was already thinking about the tactical arrangement at the end of the fourth quarter. The problem for the Spurs now is that Mario Elli and Sean Elliott are always looking for As for whether they can recover the touch at the last moment of the game, no one can say for sure. Therefore, Popovich is now considering whether to continue to let them play when the next substitution is made. In the remaining few minutes, there was no time for them to adjust.

And now what Popovich is considering is to replace one of Derek Anderson or Samaki Walker, so that one of Meng Xu or Duncan can be liberated, but who to replace, Popovich is now Haven't made up my mind yet.Moreover, Popovich has always been concerned about whether the old Nelson has any backup. Otherwise, the old Nelson can still be so calm when the Mavericks have been lagging behind.

"Tim, you need to be tougher now..." Finally, after much consideration, Popovich decided to replace Sean Elliott with Samaki Walker and let him hold back Juwan Howard, thus freeing Duncan.

When he heard that what Popovich said to Duncan was similar to what he just said to Duncan, Meng Xu directly lowered his head and covered his mouth and laughed. Although the voice was very small, the surrounding Spurs players still heard it, and Duncan was also a little bit She glanced at Meng Xu in embarrassment.

"Meng, and you, you also need to be more decisive." Looking at Meng Xu who was giggling, Popovich immediately walked over and said angrily.

"Okay guys, in the previous games, you all performed very well, but in order to take away a victory from here, we need to change our tactics." After the official timeout of the fourth quarter came, although the small The Bulls still trail the Spurs by 4 points, but Nelson Sr. does look like he's on the verge of winning.After praising the players who had just left the field, the old Nelson called all the important players of the Mavericks together, took the tactical board and began to rearrange the tactics: "Steve, in the next game, you We must raise the rhythm of the game as much as possible, as fast as possible, understand?"

"Understood." Nash, who was standing straight, was also very excited after hearing the coach's arrangement, and finally it was time to show his talents.

"We must win, we must win..." After the old Nelson's tactical arrangement was completed, several Mavericks players also hugged each other on the sidelines, shouting loudly, cheering and encouraging each other.

When the timeout ended and the starting lineups of both sides returned to the field, unlike the small adjustments made by the Spurs, the Mavericks' lineup on the field can be described as earth-shaking. The Mavericks' three insiders, after this timeout, went down After two, Nowitzki was pushed directly to the center position by the old Nelson, while Michael Finley started power forward, small forward Vernon Maxwell, shooting guard Howard Eisley, point guard Steve husband - Nash.

"The Mavericks are going to run away?" Seeing the change after the Mavericks suspended, Michaels also looked puzzled. He was fighting well just now, so why is he going to run away in a blink of an eye? ?
"Donald wants to disrupt the Spurs' deployment by speeding up and accelerating the pace of the game, or even drag down the Spurs." The change of the old Nelson is indeed beyond the expectations of Magic Johnson.Originally, the magician thought that in this first game, Nelson's arrangement was just to test the Spurs. After all, there are 7 games in a series. Unless the difference in strength is too great, in the first two games, both sides of the game They will not show their hole cards, but you will try to test first with a punch and a kick, but when the old Nelson made a change at the end of the fourth quarter, Magic Johnson understood that the old Nils was real want to win this game.

"Duncan pops Michael Finley, one-handed dunk. Dirk Nowitzki hits the baseline, Steve Nash catches it and passes it to Vernon Maxwell, who ducks After Mario Elli's interception, the basketball was handed over to Howard Eisley, Howard cut straight to the basket, Meng Xu had already chased it back, Howard made a pass back, and Michael Finley made a mid-range shot."

In this attack, after Duncan scored a dunk, the Mavericks launched a fast break at an extremely fast speed. From Nowitzki's baseline ball to Finley's shot, the whole process did not exceed 8 seconds. On the Spurs side, apart from Meng Xu returning to defense, Xiang Duncan and David Robinson had just passed the center circle, and the Mavericks' offense was over.

"It turned out to be like this." After seeing the change of the Mavericks' lineup, Popovich on the sidelines showed a relaxed smile. If the Mavericks' hole card is just running and bombing, then the Mavericks are not enough to beat the Spurs .Although the Spurs players are likely to consume a lot of physical energy due to too many switchbacks under the ultra-fast pace of the Mavericks, resulting in exhaustion in the last 2 minutes, especially David Robinson and Mario These two veterans are beneficial, but the Spurs also have their own countermeasures. The Spurs now have two players who can control the rhythm. As long as they are given 1 minute to adapt, Meng Xu and Duncan will let the rhythm on the court. slow down.

After Meng Xu saw the change of Mavericks, he didn't think much about it. Instead, he continued to implement the tactics arranged by the coach before, and continued to fight positional warfare, and the slower the better. He dribbled the ball through the center circle within a few minutes, but this time Meng Xu took a full 5 seconds to dribble the ball through the center circle just before the 7-second violation. In this attack, Meng Xu did not directly hand over the ball to Duncan deliberately pressed the time. After seeing Duncan and David Robinson standing under the basket, he passed the basketball in. At the same time, he signaled Samaki Walker, who had already pulled away, to grab a rebound. Staring closely at Nash.

"What a clever little guy, it seems that I still underestimate him a little bit." In just one round, Meng Xu's evaluation with the old Nelson directly went up a notch. The old Nelson, who has coached for more than 20 years, It can be said that he is well versed in people's hearts. For these young players in the league, the old Nelson also thinks that he can understand their psychology, but this time, it happened to Meng Xu, and the old Nelson was a little wrong.

I have to say that it was very useful for Meng Xu to keep an eye on Nash this time. After Duncan succeeded in singles against Finley again, the Mavericks wanted to replicate the previous offense again, but this time when Nowitzki sent the baseline ball , Meng Xu immediately stuck to Nash tightly, and just when Nash was about to hand the ball to Howard Eisley, Meng Xu stretched out his big hand and directly caught Nash's pass in his hand.After stealing Nash, Meng Xu did not hand the ball to David Robinson who was still under the basket. Instead, he protected the ball and ran out of the 3-point line, waiting in place for the Mavericks who had already passed the middle circle Players back on defense.

"Hahaha, Vernon is so funny." Michaels, who was on the commentary seat, looked at Vernon Maxwell who was still standing near the middle circle, neither advancing nor retreating, and laughed directly.

"Unexpectedly, when Donald also made a mistake, Meng Xu's golf quotient is too high. There is no need for the coach to make any arrangements, and he can make the most suitable choice on the court to deal with the situation on the court." From After the official timeout, Magic Johnson has been waiting for Popovich to call a timeout, and then make targeted arrangements for the Mavericks' running and bombing tactics, but unexpectedly Popovich did not make any arrangements, Meng Xu I already understood how to deal with the running and bombing of the Mavericks, and now it is not the Spurs who need to call a timeout, but the Mavericks, but the game has only passed 1 minute, and it is difficult to judge that the Mavericks' tactics are now a failure. .

"Meng's golf quotient is really high." After hearing Magic Johnson's appreciation for Meng Xu, Michaels also took a look at Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson is recognized as the player with the highest golf quotient in NBA history. Compared with Jordan, he was a little stronger, but now Magic Johnson publicly praised Meng Xu's golf intelligence, which also made Michaels feel a little incredible.

"The Mavericks are in danger." After all the Mavericks' players returned to defense, Meng Xucai handed the ball to Duncan at the basket again after procrastinating for about 20 seconds, and after Duncan scored the goal, , 69 to 61, the Spurs have already led the Mavericks by 8 points. With more than 4 points left in the game, the Mavericks are now basically in a desperate situation.
