Chapter 346 Shit luck?
"Is this Larry's tactical arrangement?" When the game reached 8 minutes in the first quarter, the situation on the field made Michaels in the commentary almost unbearable. When facing Kidd, he has always been at a disadvantage. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was completely suppressed by Kidd, but the Pacers continued to give him the ball and let him challenge Kidd again and again.

"This should be specially arranged by Larry." Magic Johnson has also seen some clues now. Larry Bird should be thinking about the playoffs now. If the Pacers meet the Nets in the playoffs, Then Jamal Tinsley's targeting of Kidd will definitely happen, so Larry Bird in this game may be to let Jamal Tinsley familiarize himself with and adapt to this possible dilemma in advance.

"Jamal, how do you feel?" When Jamal Tinsley broke through Kidd again and was blocked, Jamal Tinsley tried to protect the basketball after taking half a step back. The hook was given to Jermaine O'Neal on the inside. Jermaine O'Neal hit Kenyon Martin's defense and hit a hook. Meng Xu, who retreated, patted Jamal Tinsley on the shoulder when he passed by Jamal Tinsley.

"I'm fine." Seeing Jermaine O'Neal's hook hit, Jamal Tinsley also showed a relaxed smile on his face. Although he did not beat Kidd in one-on-one, he was able to Kidd's defense assists his teammates to score, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance his confidence in the face of Kidd.

"This time, I will never let you step in front of me." Although he still failed to defeat Kidd, after assisting his teammates to score consecutively, Jamal Tinsley is now also full of fighting spirit. After the ball passed the center circle, Jamal Tinsley put all his attention on the defensive end. At this moment, the only thing in Jamal Tinsley's mind was how to defend against Kidd's attack this time. attack.

"Rookie, this is interesting." When Kidd tried to get rid of Jamal Tinsley twice in a row, but was stuck tightly by Jamal Tinsley, Kidd was also a little surprised at the moment.Jamal Tinsley and Kidd are about the same height and weight, but they are slightly worse in terms of moving speed, body flexibility and jumping. Therefore, every time they face Kidd, these defects of Jamal Tinsley will be eliminated. Infinitely magnified, repeatedly ravaged by Kidd.

"Yes, that's it." Seeing that Kidd tried several times in a row but couldn't get rid of Jamal Tinsley's defense, Meng Xu on the side also showed an excited look, as long as Jamal Tinsley can Prevent, or limit Kidd, then there is no doubt that Jamal Tinsley will re-establish the confidence to confront Kidd.

"Kidd was defended by Jamal?" When Kidd and Jamal Tinsley were entangled at the top of the arc, Michaels in the commentary also had an unbelievable expression. He used to face Jamal Tinsley Leigh Kidd, who wanted anything and everything, was so entangled by Jamal Tinsley that he seemed to have difficulty even getting the ball out. You must know that Kidd is the best point guard in the league.

"Jamal, you did a good job." Although Kidd relied on his own experience and finally gave the ball to Keith Van Horn, there is no doubt that in Meng Xu's view, Jamal Tinsley's defense It was very successful. In the past, when Jamal Tinsley defended Kidd, he would need teammates to help him defend. This time, Kidd was entangled by Jamal Tinsley for nearly 10 seconds before passing the basketball.

Because Kidd consumed too much time just now, Keith Van Horn, who received Kidd's pass, is also in a very awkward position at the moment. Due to his height, Keith Van Horn's breakthrough ability is not enough. Well, and with James Posey filling in in time, Keith Van Horn now has no room to break through.After hesitating for a moment, Keith Van Horn ended the attack with a half-turn and step-back jumper after forcing James Posey to no avail.

Seeing Keith Van Horn hit a jumper over James Posey, a smile appeared on Larry Bird's face on the sidelines. Keith Van Horn was also one of the many "Larry Bird successors" back then. He was one of the two strongest rookies in 97 with Duncan, and he was also a player that the Celtics valued back then. However, Keith Van Horn was constantly attacked by injuries during his rookie season. Now 5 The last season has passed, continuous knee injuries, ankle injuries and even mental illnesses have gradually devoured his talent and talent. Now, apart from occasional flashes, people are also seeing the talented Keith back then. - Van Horn.

"Jamal, come on." Before the first quarter was over, the Pacers were already nearly 10 points behind the Nets, but looking at Jamal Tinsley with a confident face, Meng Xu knew what happened today. In one game, the main task of the Pacers has been completed, so the rest is to beat the Nets, take a victory from New Jersey, and then reach the top of the Eastern Conference.

When the game continued, Jamal Tinsley faced Kidd on both ends of the offense and defense, and played more and more calmly. Meng Xu also gave up covering for Jamal Tinsley and began to tear the Nets with off-ball running positions. defense line, and Jermaine O'Neal's efficiency in singles Kenyon Martin in the interior is also getting higher and higher, the situation on the field is gradually moving in a direction that is favorable to the Pacers at the end of the first quarter.

"Maybe this season, we can really return to the finals." When the first quarter ended, relying on a wave of 7-2 spurts at the last moment, the point difference between the two teams has now been narrowed to 6 points. Larry Bird also clenched his fists when he saw Meng Xu, who was leaving the field, and several Pacers players behind him with confident smiles on their faces.

Originally, Larry Bird thought that he had estimated Meng Xu's upper limit high enough, but after getting along with him for more than half a season, Larry Bird realized that he still underestimated Meng Xu. Ability and unyielding fighting spirit, and he also used practical actions to prove that he can become a great leader. With such a player, the Pacers are still far away from returning to the finals and winning the first NBA championship in team history ?

"You are really lucky. A player with an ability value of only 83 at the peak has broken through the upper limit of his own ability value under your deliberate trap. Maybe his future is far better than the one in the system. He wants light." Just as Meng Xu sat on the bench and wiped his sweat with a towel, Anna's familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"Breakthrough the upper limit of your ability?" After hearing Anna's words, Meng Xu was also stunned. No wonder Jamal Tinsley, who was abused by Kidd in the past, suddenly had the ability to resist.Kidd's ability value, Meng Xu also inquired this season, Kidd also had an ability value of 94 in his peak period, but for some reason, Kidd, who is only 29 years old this year, dropped to 93, but Even so, Kidd is still the strongest point guard position in the entire league.
