Chapter 374 The Strongest Layup in History

"The Pacers called a timeout and replaced all the main players. With Jason Kidd taking over the game after the opening, it doesn't look like this game will end like this." I had already lost interest in this game Magic Johnson, after Jason Kidd's outburst, threw away those little thoughts in his mind and put all his attention back on the court.

"The Pacers' substitution is a bit weird. Meng Xu replaced Jamal Tinsley instead of James Posey. Is Meng Xu going to play point guard?" After the Pacers completed the substitution, see After Meng Xu did not replace James Posey in the same position, but replaced the team's point guard Jamal Tinsley, Michaels began to speculate whether Meng Xu would play point guard, and Jay Senkid is directly facing each other. If that is the case, this game will be more interesting.

"Meng Xu played point guard in the Spurs last season, so there is no problem for him at all. I am also looking forward to what kind of performance these two men will play after Meng faces Jason. Meng and Jason are The two players who have completed the most triple-doubles this season, Meng Xu has won 3 triple-doubles this season, and has won more than 12 triple-doubles for two consecutive seasons, and Jason has also won this season 3 triple-doubles." Because he is a contracted commentator of ABC, Magic Johnson is familiar with the data of almost all players in the league, especially Meng Xu. Looking forward to him being his successor.

"Meng, it's finally time for us to face off." When Meng Xu dribbled the ball through the middle circle from the backcourt, Kidd rushed over immediately, and at the same time waved to his teammates behind him, indicating that there is no need for double-teaming. In this defense, Kidd was going to deal with Meng Xu alone.After Meng Xu began to control the ball, Kidd did not press Meng Xu like he did when defending Jamal Tinsley, because Kidd had already tried it last season, and the tight defense did not work for Meng Xu at all. Any role, but also easy to lose position, was broken by Meng Xu.

Last season, when Kidd was still in the Suns and Meng Xu was still in the Spurs, the two faced off a total of 4 times in the regular season. Meng Xu embarrassed Kidd every time. On the offensive end, Meng Xu's superb ball control Skills, it is very difficult to steal directly from him. At the same time, with Meng Xu's height of two meters, it is basically impossible for Kidd to block his passing vision, especially when Meng Xu chooses to When he shot overhead, Kidd could only look at the ball and sigh.And on the defensive end, Meng Xu seldom takes fake moves, and Meng Xu's movement speed and reaction ability are so much faster than himself. With his super long wingspan, he looks like a spiderman Same, cover yourself up completely.

But what is different now is that when the game entered the fourth quarter, Kidd felt that he had reached the best state, both physically and in the game. After trying a breakthrough, Kidd faintly felt , I found that omnipotent state again, and after a summer of hard training with Payton in the offseason of last season, Kidd also learned some tricks from Payton to deal with big men, so , Kidd is now also soaring in self-confidence.

"Jason, if that's the case, then show your full strength." After Kidd suddenly exploded and successfully took over the game, in the second and third quarters, the Nets, who were severely hit and under psychological pressure , and now morale has gradually recovered.Meng Xu is also very clear about Kidd's current thinking. It is nothing more than wanting to defeat himself in one-on-one. When he continues to improve his own morale and fighting spirit, he also hurts the opponent's morale. Meng Xu also has the same idea now. , Today's game is not just an ordinary playoff game, this game is also related to the trend of the entire series. Whoever wins this game will have the upper hand.

Meng Xu turned sideways to Kidd, holding the basketball with one hand. To be honest, facing this defensive player who was 10 cm shorter than himself, Meng Xu shot directly from the spot and could kill him, even if he didn’t shoot a 3-pointer. , Meng Xu is basically the most powerful back-up ability among outside players. With Kidd's body, it is no problem to push him all the way to the basket, but Meng Xu has no shot or back-up at all now. The idea, after Kidd scored consecutive breakthroughs, using breakthroughs to fight back is naturally the most morale-boosting offensive choice.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Meng Xu started to turn around with the ball. After realizing that Meng Xu had no intention of shooting, Kidd stuck to Meng Xu firmly, and at the same time put one hand on Meng Xu's waist. , with the other arm open, ready to pat the basketball in Meng Xu's hand at any time.After Meng Xu turned around, he immediately gave Kidd a hard head, then quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and began to change direction in the opposite direction. However, this time Meng Xu's invincible change of direction did not get rid of Kidd. Meng Xu fell half a body distance, but Kidd still followed Meng Xu closely, holding his jersey all the time.

After completing the first change of direction, Meng Xu continued to lower the center of gravity of his body, with his shoulders as low as Kidd's waist. After the first change of direction, he only took one step forward. Meng Xu's second change of direction This time, Kidd finally lost his position. Kidd, who lost his body center of gravity in the process of turning left and right, was left behind by Meng Xu. However, after slightly stabilizing his body center of gravity on the spot, Kidd He continued to chase in the direction of Meng Xu's breakthrough.

Contrary to the cheers of the audience, the commentators on the sidelines all held their breath at this moment, staring at Meng Xu with wide eyes, for fear of missing every moment.After throwing away Kidd with the second change of direction, Meng Xu completed the last change of direction in front of the defending Keith Van Horn, and rushed directly to the distance of less than 3 meters from the basket. Touching the basketball in motion, Meng Xu lifted his body's center of gravity, leaped vigorously into the air, and grabbed the basketball that bounced into the air with his left hand.

Meng Xu, who had just caught the basketball, saw Kenyon Martin pounce towards him in the air. After pulling the lever and drifting to the right, Meng Xu easily dodged Kenyon Martin's block. After Kenyon Martin was shaken away, Keith Van Horn behind Meng Xu and Todd McClochy on the right side of the basket jumped up almost at the same time, floating in the air at the moment, surrounded by Meng Xu, the defensive player of the Nets, has a blank mind. In order to avoid Keith Van Horn's block, Meng Xu used a lever action to switch the basketball from his left hand to his right hand, and then Todd McCloch Before jumping on himself, with his last strength, after shaking in the air, he threw the basketball to the basket.

After the basketball came out, under the collision of Todd McCloch, Meng Xu lost his center of gravity in the air, and flew towards the baseline. Before his body landed, Meng Xu saw the A group of reporters all opened their mouths wide, staring at themselves like they were looking at a monster. Just a moment later, including this group of reporters, the entire side stands were all boiling, with distorted faces, The constantly flying towels and various small things being thrown into the air, all of these prove that Meng Xu just completed a crazy layup.

"Oh, sweetie, this is definitely the best layup I've ever seen, just like Dr. J." In the commentary booth, Magic Johnson, who had already stood up, put his hands on his head, still with an unbelievable expression on his face. expression.The layup after changing hands in the air three times in a row, after Magic Johnson searched all the layups in his mind, there was only the aerial big shot by Dr. J Julius Erving in the finals in his rookie season. The looping layup is comparable, no, even Dr. J's layup is slightly inferior to Meng Xu's layup just now.

"This layup is definitely the strongest layup in the entire history of basketball." Michaels tugged on his tie first, then sat there helplessly swallowing his saliva, and finally said such a sentence after a long while.As a Pacers star, Meyer Daniels didn't have so many scruples. He tore off the microphone on his head, fell to the ground, and rushed to the sidelines.As for the Pacers' bench, everyone, including Larry Bird, waved everything they were holding, and yelled at the court frantically.

"How is this possible?" Just when the Bankers Life Arena was in a frenzy, almost all the Nets players were thinking this way at the moment. How could someone complete such a layup?Everyone, including Kidd, was staring blankly at the court, or at the big screen in the middle of the court. The layup that Meng Xu just completed was being replayed over and over again. If it wasn't for the opponent, they would have never Applause for Meng Xu without hesitation.
