Chapter 363 Because the 3-point shot is easier
"Meng, we will definitely win this game." When the starting players of the two teams all appeared on the field, Jermaine O'Neal and Tony Batty had already walked into the center circle and were about to jump the ball. Paul Pierce was standing opposite Meng Xu. , making no secret of his desire to win.To be precise, the Celtics have no way out now. After two games, they are 0 to 2 behind. If they lose this game again, they will be 0 to 3 in the series. They really have to go home and go fishing. Therefore, in this game, the Celtics can only give it a go.

"Paul, Larry doesn't want you guys to win." Seeing the swearing Paul Pierce and the unfriendly Antoine Walker, Meng Xu smiled at them.

"Boy, let you be arrogant for a while, you won't have such good luck in this game." Antoine Walker on the side, staring at Meng Xu intently, said bitterly in his heart.Before this round of the series, Antoine Walker volunteered to defend Meng Xu in this round of the series, but after two games, Walker realized that he couldn't guard Meng Xu at all, even if he fought with Paul afterwards. -Pierce's double-teaming can't prevent this guy. In the previous two games, how did this guy shoot 3-pointers, and his colors one after another made Walker want to die.

Since Meng Xu entered the league, because he is also the successor of Bird, Meng Xu is often compared with Antoine Walker by the media, especially when it is reported that the Celtics are planning to use Walker to trade Meng Xu. After the news, this comparison became even more rampant.In the regular season of last season, Meng Xu was still considered to have a big gap with Walker, but since last season's playoffs, no media will compare Meng Xu with Walker, because in their eyes , Meng Xu is already a level higher than Walker's superstar, and Walker has nothing to do with these unscrupulous media. The only thing he can do is to defeat Meng Xu to prove himself.However, since Walker usually plays power forward in the Celtics, the two of them rarely had the chance to face each other in the four regular season games. The head coach made a strong request to play against Meng Xu. Since Pierce's defensive effect on Meng Xu was not good in the previous games, the head coach Jim O'Brien also wanted Walker to give it a try. Go play small forward.

"Haha, Walker seems to be ready to fight me." While the referee was saying something to the players of the two teams jumping the ball, Meng Xu took the opportunity to move his body. When Antoine Walker was not far away, Meng Xu couldn't help smiling at him.

How about a player like Walker? He has height, strength, good wingspan and speed, and a good sense of rebounding, but this guy is too prone to fake moves. For a player like Meng Xu who is full of fake moves In many cases, Walker is already out of position before Meng Xu has finished several consecutive fake moves, so Walker is also one of Meng Xu's favorite matchup players.

As for Walker's offensive methods, I don't know if it is because he is afraid of confrontation after being injured. Now he is more and more inclined to shoot, and he likes to shoot 3-pointers very much. But his 3-point shooting rate is not to be flattered. He averaged 3% of his 34.5-point shooting rate per game, nearly 3 percentage points lower than Meng Xu.

Regarding the number of 3-pointers shot by Meng Xu and Walker who lead the league, there was also a small episode this season. After the end of the regular season, Meng Xu and Walker became the only two this season, averaging 3-pointers per game. Players who took more than 8 shots scored 8.5 times and 8.2 times respectively.Therefore, there is a good media that went to interview the two of them and wanted to know why they shot so many 3-pointers. The first person interviewed was Walker, and the answer Walker gave was "Because there are no four-pointers in the NBA." Line." Arrogance, it was too arrogant, so when the interviewing reporter heard Walker's answer, he was stunned.When the reporter went to interview Meng Xu, he heard an answer that was even funnier than Walker. Meng Xu answered him like this: "Because, I think it's easier to shoot 3 points." It's easier to shoot 3 points!After hearing Meng Xu's answer, the reporter who interviewed Meng Xu once thought that there was something wrong with his ears. After asking three times in a row, the reporter finally confirmed that Meng Xu answered him in this way.

Because there is no 4-point line in the NBA!I think it is easier to shoot 3 points!When this interview was published, there was an immediate uproar in the basketball world across the United States. These two guys are too weird.The current NBA is still very much advocating the concept that the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. Not to mention the "four major centers" and "four power forwards", even Jordan, who once ruled the league, his main scoring method is also based on Mid-range shots and breakthrough layups are the main ones.Therefore, although the 3-pointer tactic has been accepted by more and more teams, in the American basketball world, the 3-pointer tactic is still a kind of backdoor evil, so it is conceivable that Meng Xu and Walker's What a shock it would be.

Therefore, every time he sees Walker, Meng Xu can't help but fantasize about Walker's BI to the extreme answer when facing the reporter, and sigh at the same time, every mountain is as high as another mountain, and the strong have their own Strong middle hand.

Meng Xu didn't know what Walker was thinking when he said these words, but when Meng Xu said that it was easier to shoot 3-pointers, he really thought so at the time, because before the playoffs, Meng Xu was still 80-pointers. With a shooting attribute of less than 3, coupled with a very weak mid-range shooting skill, not to mention being unable to make a mid-range shot, even failing to make a layup is a common occurrence.Therefore, Meng Xu's main scoring method, in addition to breakthrough layups and foul free throws, is to shoot 3 points. Compared with the huge pressure on the body when breaking through, and the bursts of pain from the knees and ankles I feel that it is much easier to shoot 105 points. It is neither time-consuming nor labor-intensive.Moreover, Meng Xu's long-range shooting attribute has reached 3, plus the hit rate bonus of Meng Xu's 4-point skill, as long as the physical strength is sufficient, the hit rate of about 3% is still guaranteed, which is why, Meng Xu originally The reason why he took 8.5 [-]-pointers this season.

"MD, does this guy have any special hobbies?" Seeing Meng Xu smiling at him, Walker immediately shuddered, and some places tensed up instantly, and at the same time he murmured in his heart, it's really possible Ah, this guy is 22 this year, and he’s not too young. When I was 22, I had a daughter, and this guy looks good. Although he hasn’t been in the league for a few years, he has a contract of 1000 million a year with Nike. I am envious of myself.But the strange thing is that a young, handsome, and rich guy has no girlfriend until now, and there are occasional scandals, which are proven to be false within a few days.

Just when the players on the field were thinking about each other, Michaels, the commentator of this game, had already begun to introduce the starting lineups of both sides of this game: "In this game, the Celtics' lineup compared with the previous two games, has There have been a lot of changes, the starting center is still Tony Batty, Antoine Walker returned to the position of power forward, but Eric Williams replaced him as small forward, Paul Pierce this game The position is still shooting guard, and at the point guard position, Eric Strickland replaced Kenny Anderson as the starting point guard."

"Compared to the Celtics, the Pacers' starting lineup has not changed at all. It is still center Lorenzen White, power forward Jermaine O'Neal, small forward Meng Xu, shooting guard Reggie Miller, and point guard Jamaltin. Slee."
