Legendary star

Chapter 331 Mudslides in the Pretentious Realm (2)

"Erwin, do you think Meng can win three consecutive championships in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest?" After more than half of the first round of the All-Star Three-Point Contest, among the six players who had already played, only Nowitzki scored more than 3 points alone. Although Nowitzki's 6 points are not too low, if placed in the previous two 20-point contests, such a score is not even enough to enter the finals. It can also be seen from this year's All-Star three-point contest how good the lineup is. Under such circumstances, Meng Xu's hope of defending the title is undoubtedly very high. Once Meng Xu defends this year's three-point contest champion, then Meng Xu will become the third player in the history of the All-Star three-point contest to achieve three consecutive championships after Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.

"Craig, I think there is no doubt about the ownership of the championship. As an active player in the league, he may even be one of the greatest 3-point shooters in history. As long as Meng participates in the 3-point contest, he will win the championship. The most popular, while others can only compete for the second place, of course, for them, the second place is no different from the championship." Although Larry Bird also wanted to save a wave of character for Meng Xu, but the words were on the verge of his mouth I changed my mind. After all, with Larry Bird's character, if you want him to keep a low profile, it will definitely make him more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Ervin, I don't think so." After seeing Larry Bird clearly supporting his disciples, Craig Hodges shook his head first, and then retorted: "The lineup for this year's 3-point contest is the latest It was the weakest year in several years, but it was exactly like this. On the contrary, I think that Meng’s chances of defending the title are not that great. As you said, no one can maintain the shooting touch all the time. Sometimes, luck is also a very important part. Without the tremendous pressure from the opponent, Meng is likely to miss the championship because he was too relaxed."

As soon as Craig Hodges finished speaking, his words came true. After Jason Richardson scored 22 points, Meng Xu, who was the last to play, was cheered by more than 2 spectators. Without even taking off his coat, he waved to the audience and walked towards the first point in the bottom corner.The first 7 players have all played, the highest scorer is Nowitzki with 23 points, after Nowitzki, Jason Richardson with 22 points, temporarily ranked third is Wallis Zebiak That is to say, as long as Meng Xu scores more than 19 points, then Meng Xu will enter the finals of the three-point contest. 19 points should be very easy for Meng Xu. It can be seen, and this is exactly what Craig Hodges is worried about. Meng Xu is too relaxed, which is not conducive to his performance in the game.

"Haha, Craig, I think your worries are completely unnecessary. If you are worried about Meng's three-pointer, you can go to the bathroom now, and then come back to attend Meng's award ceremony." Although Craig Hodges' words also made Larry Bird a little uneasy. After all, it is easy to make mistakes if he is too relaxed in the game, but out of confidence in Meng Xu, Larry Bird is still very stubborn that Meng Xu Definitely be able to defend the title.

Just after Meng Xu walked to the first shooting point in his coat, he still didn't intend to take off his coat, but signaled to the referee at the side that he was ready, the entire First League Center Arena was in an uproar. The players on the sidelines who participated in this year's All-Star 3-point contest all stared at Meng Xu's every move with wide eyes.

"Did Meng forget to take off his coat? Or did he think he could win the three-point contest with his coat on?"

"It's too arrogant. This Indiana bumpkin is too arrogant. I think this guy will probably be eliminated in the first round." When the New York Times reporter said this, the colleagues around the press booth immediately I put my attention on him, and his eyes are completely caring for mentally handicapped children. This season, Meng Xu rejected the Knicks' invitation and chose to join the Knicks' arch-enemy Pacers, which made the Knicks lose face. As the leader of the New York media, it is reasonable for the New York Times to slander Meng Xu.

Just when the New York Times reporter's remarks caused ripples in the press box, Meng Xu, who was at the first point in the bottom corner, had already started to shoot. For Meng Xu, this kind of fixed-point open shot, It was still very easy, but in order to perform better in the finals, in the first round, Meng Xu began to deliberately adjust his hand feeling and search for a feeling.

"Look, this Indiana redneck really can't do it." In the first point, Meng Xu made 5 of 2 shots and only scored 2 points. In the second point, he still made 5 of 2 shots, but he hit a bouquet and won. After scoring 3 points and 10 shots at two points, Meng Xu only scored 5 points. This poor performance also made the New York Times reporters on the press bench even more unscrupulous and arrogant, while the reporters beside him At the table, there were quietly more people who supported him. These reporters were the group of people who were best at following the wind.

In the third point, he made 5 of 3 shots, hit the bouquet and scored 4 points. It seems that Meng Xu's touch has gradually improved, and when Meng Xu made all 5 shots in the fourth point, his personal score increased. At 15 minutes, following Meng Xu's consecutive hits, bursts of cheers erupted in the First League Center Arena. The New York Times reporter, who was ashamed and arrogant just now, was now frightened.In the end, when Meng Xu made all 5 shots at the last point and hit 11 goals in a row, he surpassed Wallis Zebiak with a total score of 21 points and entered the final of the All-Star 3-point contest. The New York Times reporter who laughed at Meng Xu, and his followers, were silent at the moment, looking at Meng Xu wearing a coat and waving to the surrounding audience with disbelief.

"Hit 3 goals in a row in the last 11 points? You actually scored 16 points?" Craig Hodges in the commentary didn't know how to describe Meng Xu, who only scored 5 points in the first two points. , not only did not crash later, but staged an epic reversal.

"Craig, I told you just now that as long as Meng participates in the 3-point contest, everyone else can only compete for the second place. Even if Meng is wearing a coat, it is enough to clean up this group of salted fish." Meng Xu has adjusted his hand feeling to the best, and the upcoming three-point contest final, because Meng Xu scored the lowest in the first round, Meng Xu will be the first to play, so Meng Xu's current fiery hand feel is likely It will continue. In this case, unless Nowitzki and Richardson explode, they have no chance.

"It's unbelievable." As a three-time three-pointer, Craig Hodges certainly knows that Meng Xu's terrifying touch in the last three points is likely to continue to the following finals, and Meng Xu's first two points , it is more or less possible that he is deliberately adjusting the feel, or even deliberately missing some shots, to ensure the continuity of his feel. If this is really what he guessed, this little guy's psychological quality and confidence in himself are too high strong.
