Legendary star

Chapter 272 The highest realm of pretending

"Meng, do you still want to play?" On the evening of May 2001, 5, during the official suspension of the fourth quarter of the Spurs-Lakers series, Meng Xu, who came off the court, took the towel handed over by assistant coach D'Antoni , wiped the sweat off his face, and sat straight on the bench chair, while head coach Popovich asked in Meng Xu's ear.

"No need, we have won now." Looking at the scoreboard in the distance, the Spurs have already led by 72 points, 90 to 18, and there are still 6 minutes left. The Lakers can't win the game no matter what Yes, in this game, Meng Xu has already played the first 42 minutes, and now he feels very tired, and there is no point in continuing to play in the latter garbage time.

After receiving Meng Xu's affirmative answer, Popovich also nodded, but when Meng Xu glanced over the bench, he saw a few assistant coaches and the group of substitutes looking at him a little bit. Normal, and Meng Xu didn't know what he missed until the end of the game.

"Is Meng Xu no longer playing? It's really a pity." After the timeout, seeing that the two teams had replaced the substitute lineup, and Meng Xu, who was sitting on the sidelines, had already put on his training uniform, Michaels had a look on his face. Said regretfully.

"In this point, Meng Xu is indeed very similar to Larry, but it's a pity that Meng Xu gave up a chance to make history." Magic Johnson shook his head with a smile on his face. After the game, The remarks about Meng Xu's data collection should disappear.

In the final game, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 103 to 90 in the away game. While tying the big score, they also restored their home court advantage.After the game, the focus of everyone's attention was separated from the game itself. At the press conference after the game, most of the media reporters only asked one question, that is why Meng Xu When he was short of an assist and could complete the first 4-double in the playoffs in NBA history, he chose to rest off the court.

"I asked him if he wanted to continue playing, but Meng said he was tired. It's that simple. Meng has never been a player who cares about statistics, and any statistics can't show Meng Xu's role on the court." After Popovich finished speaking, the reporters at the scene spontaneously gave their own applause to Meng Xu, who was still fighting with his teammates in the locker room.

"Meng, don't you think it's a pity?" When Popovich attended the post-match press conference, Meng Xu, who had just taken a shower, started to pack his things, while Duncan ran over from the side , put his arms around Meng Xu's shoulders, and asked from the side. Duncan only found out later that Meng Xu was almost able to complete a quadruple-double feat.

"There is nothing to regret, as long as the team can win. As for quadruple doubles, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." After the game, after seeing the technical statistics of the game, Meng Xu also had a little doubt at first. Then a little regret, 38 points, 14 rebounds, 10 steals, 9 assists, 6 blocks, 1 assist away from the first quadruple-double in the playoffs, with Meng Xu's ability to brush assists, as long as he is in the last 1 In minutes, 4 pairs will be enough.But soon Meng Xu comforted himself. In the system evaluation, the rewards for 4 pairs and 5*5 are the same, so it doesn’t matter whether you get 4 pairs or not. Let melon people leave a little room for regret and imagination, let them go YY in private.

"You guys, you really have the true biography of a braggart." After returning to the hotel, when Meng Xu entered the system space to receive the rewards for this game, Anna unceremoniously reprimanded Meng Xu for his behavior. A meaningless coercion.

"I'm not pretentious. I really didn't remember my stats clearly. If I had known that I was only one assist away from getting a 4-double, I would definitely play for a few more minutes." Meng Xu is also a little dumbfounded now, Although the single-game evaluation rewards for quadruple-double and 5*5 are the same, due to the era in which Meng Xu lives, there has not been any data for quadruple-double in the playoffs. Therefore, when Anna told Meng Xu, he missed an opportunity for himself The opportunity to create a milestone, so Meng Xu's intestines are green with regret now, but regrets are regrets, Meng Xu also knows very well that sooner or later, he will get a quadruple double.

"The highest level of pretentiousness is to pretend to be coercive quietly, without knowing it. So, if there is a division of pretentiousness, you are at least A-level now."

"Okay Anna, I'm not joking, I have another question for you, why do I still feel that my stamina is a bit lacking, at least compared to Duncan? "In the game that just ended, Meng Xu originally thought that with his 110-point endurance attribute, he could squander his physical strength on the court at will, but when the game reached the fourth quarter, Meng Xu's physical strength could no longer support him. , Meng Xu's style of play in the first three quarters, and O'Neal and Duncan, who have not rested, still seem to be able to handle it with ease. You must know that the intensity of the game O'Neal and Duncan are facing is much higher than their own, and Duncan Or when you have the flu and don't feel good about it.

"Because their stamina attribute is also 100, and they also have the ability to restore physical strength, and although your stamina attribute has reached 110 in this game, but you do not have the ability to restore physical strength, so your endurance and Physical strength will be lost rapidly as the game progresses, but Duncan and the others are different. While they are consuming physical strength, their skills are constantly recovering and replenishing their physical strength. This is why many players, their physical strength seems It's all like endless, after playing a high-intensity game, there is still extra energy to spend on nightclubs." After Anna finished speaking, she blinked at Meng Xu, as if hinting nothing the same.

"I'll go. If you didn't tell me earlier, if I knew there was such a skill, I would have learned one. It's not much better than simply adding attribute points." Looking at Anna's expression that he didn't want to be beaten, Meng Xu turned his head. Rolling his eyes, he walked directly towards the big screen in the system space.

"You didn't ask me either."

Which one should I choose?Looking at the row of skills that most closely match him, Meng Xu is feeling dizzy now. Among all the stamina skills, the best is Chamberlain's S-level skill "Infinite Energy", but don't say S-level skills. , is A-level, and Meng Xu doesn’t have so many points to redeem now. Fortunately, there are only a handful of A-level endurance skills, and they are all the same as Chamberlain’s skills. They belong to those black and hard exclusive skills that match his own. If the degree is extremely low, even if you have enough points, you will not be able to learn.

In the end, Meng Xu selected a few skills that matched him the most among all the B-level endurance skills, but looking at this row of skills and those familiar and unfamiliar names, Meng Xu fell into the difficulty of choosing. Among them, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Richard Hamilton, Kobe Bryant, Monta Ellis, the stamina attributes of these players have the highest matching degree with Meng Xu, all exceeding 90%. The match between Richard Hamilton and Meng Xu reached 96%.Among these people, Reggie Miller and Kobe, Meng Xu is the most familiar. As for the others, Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton, apart from a few fights in the regular season, Meng Xu doesn't know much about them. Not much, and as for Monta Ellis, Meng Xu has never even heard of it.

"I hope you don't let me down." After hesitating again and again, Meng Xu finally chose the skill that best matched him. After consuming 2000 points, Meng Xu finally didn't have to worry about his physical strength anymore. .

Skill name: Perpetual motion machine (B-level skill)
Skill Level: LV4
Skill effect: Increase the host's stamina attribute by 5 points, and restore 5% of the host's consumed stamina every 4 minutes (1% for each level up), until the end of the game.

. . . . . .

"Meng beat us. As for the quadruple-double, as Mr. Popovich said, the data cannot appreciate the role of Meng Xu on the court. And Meng is still young, he is not yet 21 years old, he still has enough. He has the ability to complete the 4-double or even 5-double feat in the playoffs.” Although he lost the game, the Lakers coach Phil Jackson did not have the slightest hint when he was interviewed by the media. Instead of being unhappy, he kept praising Meng Xu's performance in this game.

"Meng's quasi-quadruple-double? It's really a pity. Not everyone will encounter this kind of opportunity to create history, but even if Meng didn't complete the feat of quadruple-double in the playoffs, his performance in this game It’s enough to go down in the annals of history.” After the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, almost all the media were covering Meng Xu’s quasi-quadruple-double, and Meng Xu’s statistic attitude.

"There is no doubt that Meng is now one of the best players in the league. Since he entered the league, I have been very optimistic about him. You know, he is my successor, and this game, Meng's The performance is very similar to me." As Larry Bird's hand-picked successor, when Meng Xu performed exactly the same feat as Larry Bird in the game, the media reporters will naturally find Larry Bird, Let Larry Bird come out to show a sense of presence, but Larry Bird still expressed his appreciation for Meng Xu and his expectations for Meng Xu's future as always.

"Although in my capacity, I shouldn't say anything more, but from the perspective of a fan, this is indeed very regrettable..." Even NBA President David Stern is unwilling to be lonely jumped out, and even said very cryptically that he was already a fan of Meng Xu.
