Chapter 377

"What's the matter, are you still watching?" After the second game between the Pacers and the Nets, Meng Xu entered the system space again, looking at the one he played in the first game over and over again. Layup, during that layup, Meng Xu, who was flying in the air, was just subconsciously doing various moves to avoid blocking shots. He had no idea how earth-shattering his layup was. , After replaying the video in slow motion, Meng Xu was also surprised by his layup, but after that, Meng Xu tried countless times in the system space, but he couldn't complete such a layup again. .

"Yeah." Hugging the basketball and looking back at Anna behind him, Meng Xu's tone clearly showed a hint of unwillingness.There is one more thing that makes Meng Xu even more dissatisfied. In the Eastern Conference Finals, since Meng Xu and Kidd both scored triple-doubles in two consecutive games, Meng Xu also won two milestone awards in a row, and According to Anna, as long as Meng Xu and Kidd can continue to make 3 pairs like this, then Meng Xu can always get milestone rewards, but it is a bit tricky that Meng Xu can only get half of all the milestone rewards , because the other half belongs to Kidd.

"If a classic can be copied, then it's not a classic." Seeing the obsession in Meng Xu's eyes, Anna just smiled, then turned and left, leaving her in a daze, muttering to herself Meng Xu.

. . . . . .

"Meng, for this game, you have to be mentally prepared in advance." On May 2002, 5, after two days of rest, the Pacers took a 27-2 lead and visited New Jersey as a guest in the third place of the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 0 and Game [-] will be played at Continental Arena, home of the New Jersey Nets.After arranging the tactical arrangement and game strategy for the game, Larry Birdela stopped Meng Xu who was about to walk out of the locker room, and spoke a few words to him in a deep voice.

"Larry, have you heard anything?" Meng Xu smiled when he saw Larry Bird's overly careful look. It has been almost a year since he came to the Pacers, and this is the first time he has seen Larry Bird appeared in front of this look.

"Didn't you hear the discussion outside?" Larry Bird, who originally just wanted to remind Meng Xu, saw Meng Xu's cheeky smile, asking questions knowingly, and immediately reached out and scratched Meng Xu's head. No matter what time it is, this guy still looks heartless, it seems that it is necessary to make him pay more attention.

"Larry, don't grab my hair!" Meng Xu yelled hysterically while dodging. After letting go of his obsession with that layup yesterday, Meng Xu's mood became surprisingly good, but now , Meng Xu's good mood was completely ruined by Larry Bird.The Pacers players waiting outside the locker room burst into laughter immediately after hearing Meng Xu's voice. After Meng Xu joined the Pacers, in a very short period of time, almost the entire Pacers knew Meng Xu hates others touching his head very much, but until now, they don't know why Meng Xu is so taboo about touching his head?

"Okay, okay, I'm about to play, today's whistle will definitely be very biased towards New Jersey people, so you have to be prepared, especially pay attention, don't get hurt." Seeing Meng Xu rushing over to grab his hair with all his teeth and claws , Larry Bird immediately returned to seriousness, and said with a serious face.

"Well, I understand." Meng Xu put down his arm still in the air with some embarrassment, nodded at Larry Bird, and then walked out of the locker room.

In fact, Meng Xu heard some rumors from Nike yesterday. According to the news from Nike, the president of the league, David Stern, was very dissatisfied with the way the Eastern Conference finals were played. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers and Nets had an average ratings of 11.7%, especially in the fourth quarter of Game 14.5, where the peak ratings reached an astonishing 8%, which was the highest ratings round after Jordan retired. It’s the conference finals. You must know that the average viewership rating per game is less than [-]% in the ongoing Western Conference finals. This is even when the Lakers and the Kings are playing very fiercely. It stands to reason that the conference finals are even higher than the finals. David Stern should be happy about the ratings, but now it is the opposite. It is rumored that Mr. David Stern is already very anxious.

Jason Kidd is a veteran superstar in the league. Although he has not been highly praised by the league in recent years, Kidd is a frequent visitor to the All-Star and the best team after all. Now the number one point guard has a large number of players in North America. Fans and popularity, and Meng Xu has been Larry Bird's successor since he entered the league. Later, because of his elegant style of play, imaginative passing, and gorgeous style of play, he quickly attracted With a large number of fans, coupled with the fact that he is from China, and the support from the league, Meng Xu has been the most popular superstar in the entire league since last season.Therefore, the triple-double battle between Meng Xu and Kidd has attracted enough attention without the need for the alliance to operate behind the scenes. In this case, for more ratings, David Stern I also very much hope that the duel between the Pacers and the Nets, Meng Xu and Kidd can be intense. For the league and all sponsors, it is best for the two sides to fight 7 games in order to earn enough gimmicks.

But judging from the previous two games, no matter inside or outside, the Nets are a level behind the Pacers. They lose to the Pacers by more than 10 points in every game. It can be said that they lose without temper. If it continues, the Nets are very likely to be swept by the Pacers, and such a situation is definitely not what the league wants to see, so David Stern is going to play one or two rumors in this round of the series. It slowly spread out.Therefore, Larry Bird, who received the news, was naturally very dissatisfied. If the league slipped and used too much force, the Pacers lost both of the Nets' two home games. Then the Pacers have worked hard before. The psychological advantage that has just been established is gone. With the rise one after another, it is possible for the Pacers to be reversed by the Nets, but now, apart from cursing David Stern in his heart for giving birth to XX, there is no XX In addition, Larry Bird can only remind this group of players under his command to be careful.

Although he was mentally prepared for the league's home whistle, Meng Xu still underestimated the league's integrity. In just 3 minutes of the game, Jermaine O'Neal and Lorenzen White fouled off twice. Yes, Jeff Foster, who came off the bench, had accumulated two fouls in less than 2 minutes. Larry Bird had to let James Posey play center forward and Meng Xu play power forward. If it weren't for the league Because of the hype about the duel between himself and Kidd, Meng Xu can be sure that he will not be able to play for a few minutes on the court. In the following games, as long as Jermaine O'Neal plays, within 1 minute, Kidd will make a mistake. Foul, after losing Jermaine O'Neal, Jason Kidd hit the Pacers' basket without any scruples, scored 3 points, 34 rebounds, and 8 assists in less than 9 quarters.While the whistle began to normalize in the final minutes of the game, it was too late, and when the game ended, the Pacers lost to the Nets on the road, 91-96.

"It's still a little rewarding." After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Meng Xu received a reminder of the milestone reward. In this game, Meng Xu and Kidd continued the momentum of mutual triple-doubles. Germany made 3 of 27 shots, 15 of 3 6-pointers, 3 of 16 free throws, scored 12 points, 45 rebounds, and 12 assists. Meng Xu also scored 10 points, 38 rebounds, and 17 assists. data.At the last moment of the game, the Pacers fell behind by more than 10 points to the Nets. After hesitating for a long time after being unable to catch up with the score through conventional means, Meng Xu finally gave up the idea of ​​using a big move. After all, there are 10 minutes of game time The cooldown is used at this time, and there will be no chance in the finals.

　Every season has regrets. The biggest regret of the 0102 season is the Kings. That season was the peak of the Kings. Gorgeous Princeton, Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Veratti Divac, Bobby Jackson, Pepper Ja Stojakovic, but the Kings team was killed by the league and referees. After that, the Kings fell from the peak to the trough, and never recovered.The most regrettable individual is undoubtedly Kidd. In the first year of joining the Nets, he brought the Nets to the No. He made it to the finals, but he was empty-handed for two consecutive years, missed the championship, and missed the MVP of the regular season. Many people said that the Eastern Conference finals at that time were actually pecking each other, but it is undeniable that Kidd's greatness, especially in the season In the playoffs, all kinds of staggering statistics, 20+9+9 are not a problem, and the series averaged 3 pairs. At that time, Kidd was both a father and a mother in the Nets. It can be said that the basketball team Net is nothing without Kidd.
