Legendary star

Chapter 326 Is it going to be a lore again?
"Meng Xu got rid of Bruce Bowen, Duncan's defense was timely, Meng Xu passed the ball back, Jamal Tinsley, the unguarded Jamal Tinsley hesitated, shot a three-pointer, missed, What a pity."

"Larry Bird called a timeout. In the past few minutes, the Pacers seemed to be in trouble. The whole team suddenly lost their touch. I don't know how Larry will solve this problem." When the Spurs began to shrink their defense and choke Meng After Xu's breakthrough, the Pacers collectively lost touch on several outside lines. Except for Reggie Miller's one shot in several consecutive offenses, whether it was James Posey or Jamal Tinsley, several times All the shots were shot, and the Spurs also took advantage of this opportunity to overtake the score.

"In a game, it is normal for the state to fluctuate, but it is really rare to see something as weird as the Pacers." It is difficult for any player to maintain a very good state and feel in a game, so the feel appears Fluctuations are very normal, but it is rare for all players on a team to collectively lose their touch. Like the Pacers, they can shoot when they are accurate, and if they are not accurate, no one can shoot. There is no one to enter.

"James, Jamal, don't hesitate, shoot decisively when you get a chance, don't be afraid of missing shots, understand?" The main reason Larry Bird called this timeout was not because the Spurs overtook the score, but because he was After continuous strikes, James Posey and Jamal Tinsley hesitated when they received a pass from Meng Xu again, especially Jamal Tinsley, because he was a rookie, he couldn't make many shots. After the game, there was obviously a psychological burden, so as soon as they got off the field, Larry Bird pulled the two of them to his side.

"Unexpectedly, it would be like this." Meng Xu took the towel handed over by the assistant coach, and while wiping his sweat, he glanced at the Spurs' bench.In this game, when almost the entire Pacers team felt hot, Popovich first let Meng Xu break through and focused on the Pacers' outside lines. When they suddenly let them shoot, and in the next step, when their touch has improved, Popovich will definitely focus on marking them again, and repeat this several times. ah.This is still in the case that Meng Xu has a system and skills to provide them with a hit rate bonus. They can all be like this. Thinking of this, Meng Xu shook his head. It is not so easy to win this game ah.

"Meng, you are the core and leader of the team. When your teammates can't score, you should stand up." After seeing Meng Xu wiped off his sweat, assistant coach Lester Connor was waiting beside Meng Xu Er, finally spoke.In Lester Conor's heart, Meng Xu is simply a wonderful flower. When he is normal, any teammate will pass the basketball to him as soon as he has a chance, even if you miss the first 5 shots , as long as I have a chance, I will still pass the ball to you. This game is a good example. From this point of view, Meng Xu is definitely a qualified leader and core, but once Meng Xu "takes the wind", I don't care who you are, stand aside and watch me play. This kind of player is rare in the world. Although Larry Bird didn't say anything, as an assistant coach, Lester Conor also hopes, Meng Xu's duality can be neutralized.

"En." Although he was already 3 points behind the Spurs, Meng Xu didn't want to take over the game so early. It was only the third quarter. How could he have so much physical strength to last until the end of the game? In the previous game, Continuously rushing to the Spurs' basket has already exhausted himself to death.And if at this time, I give up on my teammates and don't pass the ball to them, their feel will definitely be even colder in the fourth quarter. He surrendered.But out of respect for the assistant coach, Meng Xu didn't say anything, but nodded to him, and then he would make a few shots appropriately.

The subsequent progress of the game was similar to Meng Xu's guess. The Pacers could no longer find the shooting percentage in the first quarter. Perhaps they were infected by the touch of their teammates, and even Meng Xu's shooting percentage dropped sharply. Well, after the third quarter, 72 to 81, the Pacers have fallen behind the Spurs by nearly 10 points.

After the resumption of the fourth quarter of the two teams, Meng Xu, who was sitting on the bench to rest, watched the Pacers' bench lineup still not give up under the leadership of James Posey and Al Harrington. It was a very tenacious team. When moving the score back little by little, Meng Xu felt for the first time this season that he could not control the situation of the game. In the previous games, no matter how the situation develops, Meng Xu has the final result. There will be a kind of confidence that he can control the game, and this game has been played until now, Meng Xu found that the game has been out of his own rhythm and control.

"It seems that we have to look for an excellent insider earlier." Looking at Meng Xu who was staring at the court without saying a word, Larry Bird said secretly in his heart.If the Pacers lose this game, then it must be the loss inside. Jermaine O'Neal, who is still a little immature, was basically squeezed by Duncan when facing the inside of the Spurs. In the next few years, the Pacers will be able to stand out from the tight encirclement in the East, but facing the teams in the West that each have super insiders, the Pacers still have no chance of winning. However, in the current league, excellent insiders are very popular. Since the offseason, Larry Bird has been seeking to sign a good center, but he has not been able to do so. Now it seems that the inside line is an urgent problem for the Pacers to solve.

"Al, your performance is awesome." After the official timeout of the fourth quarter came, Meng Xu, who was originally sitting on the bench, walked to the sidelines and high-fived the bench players who were leaving the field.Under the leadership of James Posey, Al Harrington, and Bobby Simmons, the Pacers' substitutes moved the score back to 5 points when they were off the court. It can be said that they have completed their tasks very well. .There are still 6 minutes in the game, and the 5-point gap is not irreparable.

"I want to win." Re-boarding the court, looking at Duncan who stepped onto the court almost at the same time not far away, Meng Xu vowed secretly in his heart.Every player who enters this league will have a common dream, that is, he will be the only protagonist on the court and become the king who rules this league. It is precisely because of this dream that Meng Xu chooses to leave the Spurs. Duncan himself can also win, so Meng Xu can't lose the game against the Spurs no matter what.

"Reggie, you all pull away later, Jermaine, pick and roll for me." After the main lineups of the two teams returned to the field, as time passed, the point difference between the two sides was always around 5 points. When there were only the last 3 minutes of the game, Meng Xu couldn't help it anymore. After the Spurs finished their attack, Meng Xu directly held Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal.

"Don't worry, Meng." Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal nodded at the same time, and Jermaine O'Neal couldn't hide his joy. This game was simply a torture for Jermaine O'Neal. Duncan The ruthless destruction of himself was simply heinous, so after Meng Xu sent the signal to take over the game, Jermaine O'Neal, who was originally depressed, immediately became excited.

"Al, it seems that the game will be inconclusive until the last moment." The Christmas game between the Spurs and the Pacers is definitely a perfect game from the audience's point of view. All kinds of hype and gimmicks before, and after the game started, it was so anxious and twists and turns. It would be more perfect if the winner can be determined through lore.

"Ervin, perhaps, this is another game where the winner can only be determined by a lore." Michaels is also excited now. The game between the Lakers and the Wizards has just ended, and there was a seemingly great disparity in strength. In the game, the Lakers relied on Kobe's quasi-lore to narrowly beat the Wizards. Although they lost the game, Jordan scored a game-high 48 points, which undoubtedly revived Michaels, who had been silent for a long time. .
