Legendary star

Chapter 345 The Last Question

As the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, whether it is the Pacers or the Nets, they have already regarded each other as their biggest opponents in the playoffs. Since the two teams have faced each other three times this season, the two All the advantages and disadvantages of a team are clear to the opponent.The Nets currently have the best point guard in the entire league and a strong inside combination, while the Pacers have the current number one small forward in the league, Meng Xu, and the outside combination of Meng Xu and Reggie Miller is also very good.The Pacers' trade after the All-Star Game is also considered to be a deliberate trade against the Nets.

So from the beginning of this game, the two sides did not have the slightest backhand or secret at all. The Pacers naturally wanted to attack Meng Xu as always, while the Nets' offense was still mainly inside. With a huge advantage against Jamal Tinsley, the Nets will also try to let Kidd single-play Jamal Tinsley as another means of offense.

"Jamal, calm down, calm down, as long as you can perform at your usual level, I believe you can overcome Kidd's barrier." After Meng Xu dribbled the ball through the midfield, he did not attack by himself, but unexpectedly Handed the basketball to Jamal Tinsley again.

After the trade for Lorenzen White and the addition of Jeff Foster, who has improved significantly this season, the Pacers' inside line is no longer a shortcoming when facing the Nets, even if they can't suppress it. There is still no problem with the three major insiders of the Nets exploding each other.So now only the problem of Jamal Tinsley is left. Jamal Tinsley is a player who played streetball, so his ball handling skills are very skilled, the overall situation and vision are also good, and his defensive attitude is also very good , but he also has an obvious shortcoming, or it is a common problem of streetball players, that is, his team awareness is slightly poor, and he likes to play tricks from time to time, and his mid-range and long-range shooting is also a shortcoming of his. The best guard, Kidd is always able to grasp his weaknesses, and continue to target him.

In the previous three confrontations this season, Jamal Tinsley was targeted by Kidd for three consecutive games. After the first game ended, Jamal Tinsley scolded his mother angrily in the locker room. After the second game, Jamal Tinsley looked away a lot, and after the third game, Jamal Tinsley seemed to have been overshadowed by Kidd. At this time, Larry Bird and Meng Xu realized that something was wrong. Wonderful, although Jamal Tinsley is a rookie this year, he has secured his starting position as soon as he joined the Pacers. This season, he can contribute 3 points, 3 assists, and 11 steals per game. But if the current situation develops according to the current situation, if the Pacers and the Nets meet in the playoffs, then Jamal Tinsley will definitely become a black hole for the team, so before this game, Meng Xu and Larry Bird reached a consensus that even if they lose this game, Jamal Tinsley must build up the confidence to fight against Kidd.

"Can I step over him?" Jamal Tinsley, who received a pass from Meng Xu, fell into a brief absence. Before he entered the league, he was so arrogant and rebellious, thinking that he He can also dominate the arena like in the street basketball court, but the reality has woken him up, especially after being repeatedly tortured by Jason Kidd, Jamal Tinsley even began to doubt himself and his ability. Jamal Tinsley has also struggled, but after repeated failures, Jamal Tinsley has been afraid to face Kidd. Before the game started, the moment he boarded the flight to New Jersey, Jamal Tinsley Tinsley's heart was never at peace.When the game started, Jamal Tinsley also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Meng Xu take over the ball. He was even a little thankful that he finally didn't have to face the damn Kidd, but now, Meng Xu took the ball again. Pushed himself in front of Kidd.

"Jamal, come on." Meng Xu didn't run without the ball, but stayed not far from Jamal Tinsley, ready to cover for him at any time. Throughout the first half of the game, Jamal Because O'Neal will always be the Pacers' first offensive point, and Meng Xu's task is to restore Jamal Tinsley's confidence and overcome his demons.

"Yeah." Jamal Tinsley, who woke up from Meng Xu's shout, nodded at Meng Xu, bent slightly, slapped the basketball, and looked at Kidd who was not far away from him. Jamal Tinsley Seely tried to calm himself down.

"I must beat you." After shouting secretly in his heart, Jamal Tinsley moved. When Meng Xu forced himself to the front and had to face Kidd, Jamal Tinsley finally got up Gathering a bit of courage, he dribbled the ball and rushed towards Kidd. As long as he breaks through him, as long as he defeats him, then the haze that has been shrouded in his heart for the past six months will all dissipate.

But the next scene made the point that Jamal Tinsley had just raised just disappear. When Jamal Tinsley dribbled the ball and rushed to the top of the arc, he wanted to get rid of Kidd through a change of direction. Jamal Tinsley's change of direction was completed, but the basketball that was hit by him changed hands did not return to his hands, but was stabbed by Kidd who was defending him.

"Jamal, come again." Jamal Tinsley, who was about to retreat, found that the basketball stabbed by Kidd had already reached Meng Xu's hands, and Meng Xu handed the basketball over again without the slightest hesitation. To Jamal Tinsley.

"Hmph, no matter what schemes and tricks you're up to, I'm sure I'll win this game." Seeing that Meng Xu still didn't intend to attack by himself, Kidd at the top of the arc was taken aback for a moment, and then a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. .Before the start of the game, Kidd thought it would be a fierce battle, but after seeing Meng Xu hand over the ball to Jamal Tinsley, although Kidd didn't know what Meng Xu's purpose was, there was one thing, Kidd knew very well that the Pacers' rookie guard was definitely not his opponent. If Meng Xu gave the ball to this rookie in this game, then the Pacers would have no hope of defeating the Nets.

"Jamal, don't be afraid, remember your dreams, and remember that I am right behind you." Looking at Jamal Tinsley whose lips seemed to be trembling, Meng Xu not far away gave him a thumbs up .

"My dream?" After hearing Meng Xu's voice, Jamal Tinsley was in a trance. He also remembered his first training session in the Pacers. Like the second-year players who entered the league, no one was convinced. On the Pacers training ground, Jamal Tinsley boasted that he would become the best guard in the league and lead the Pacers to win the championship.Although soon, Jamal Tinsley, who was defiant, suffered retribution. In the heads-up match of the team's internal training game, from Meng Xu, Posey, to Harrington, and even the old Reggie Miller, one by one. Taught him a lesson.After more than half of the season's tempering, Jamal Tinsley almost forgot the original rhetoric.
