Chapter 385 Meng Xu and O'Neal
"Boy, today I won't let you step in front of me so easily." When Jamal Tinsley quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, he handed the basketball to Meng Xu on the right side of the 3-point line , at the same time Meng Xu received the ball, Rick Fox posted it immediately. Since this game is the first game of the finals, the two sides are still in the stage of testing, so in this game, Phil Jackson There was no arrangement to double-team Meng Xu, but to Rick Fox to take on the heavy responsibility of defending Meng Xu.

"Crossing you? Rick, I crossing you is as easy as crossing the road in the morning." Meng Xu, who was half leaning on Rick Fox, responded to his trash talk, and immediately made a shoulder-shoulder wanting to The movement of turning around forcibly, but the next movement of Meng Xu is incomprehensible. After two consecutive fake movements, Meng Xu already had room to get rid of Rick Fox, but Meng Xu did not take the opportunity to turn around He took a shot, or went into the Lakers' inside line, but paused obviously in place.

"Is Meng Xu waiting for the Lakers to double-team him?" Michaels also couldn't understand the scene on the court. Meng Xu could easily complete the turn just now, and then it was a very good shot and breakthrough. chance, but he didn't do it.

"Is he planning the same as me?" From the very beginning of the game, Larry Bird had been standing on the sidelines, watching the situation on the court, seeing that the Lakers neither double-teamed Meng Xu nor had to wait for the last minute. When Kobe, a strong outside defender, defended Meng Xu, Larry Bird wondered whether Phil Jackson had the same idea as himself, deliberately letting Meng Xu play singles, so as to disrupt the Pacers' offensive rhythm and Tactics are like Jordan playing against the Celtics in the playoffs. Even if you score 60 points, your teammates can't score and you will still lose. If this is the case, then this KFC is too bad.

And since the Lakers have a big guy like O'Neal on the inside, Meng Xu's breakthrough ability will be greatly reduced when facing the Lakers. There is no lethality at all, and Meng Xu's mid-range shot has not been very good, it can even be said to be the worst of all Meng Xu's scoring methods, so although it is only the first round, the current situation also makes Larry Bird, a little bit worried.

"Rick, I'll let you see what strength is right now!" Meng Xu shook Rick Fox away and deliberately stopped to wait for the Lakers to double-team him. While lowering his center of gravity, Meng Xu began to accumulate energy, preparing to hit Rick Fox with his back.

"Let the horse come here." Rick Fox put one hand on Meng Xu's back, while standing firm, staring at Meng Xu who was leaning behind him. In the game between the Pacers and the Nets, Meng Xu Xu's post-up singles ability has amazed the entire league. It is not an exaggeration to say that Meng Xu's post-up singles ability is the best among all outside players in the league, but Rick Fox is not at all. Don't be afraid, as a muscular guy who occasionally plays power forwards, Rick Fox's strength is absolutely top-notch among perimeter players. In the Lakers team, as long as Kobe Bryant practices post-up and low-post singles, he will be called Rick Fox was my partner, and with Kobe Bryant's excellent post-up ability, he couldn't guarantee a success rate of more than [-]% in singles, so even if Meng Xu's post-up ability is better than Kobe Bryant's To be strong, Rick Fox felt that as long as he was well prepared, he could handle it.

"The last Laker who was as good as you is retired now." After saying this with a look of disdain, Meng Xu ignored Rick Fox's angry expression, and instead took this opportunity to go directly behind him. With a hard push, Meng Xu instantly felt a lot of relief behind him, followed by the second time, and the third time, after pushing the back three times in a row, Meng Xu felt that there was already a large space behind him , Turn around, shoot, hit the board, hit, all in one go.

The last player Meng Xu mentioned was the veteran Horace Grant who had a very good personal relationship with Rick Fox. In the Western Conference Finals last season, Horace Grant also provoked Meng Xu, but the one who greeted him was Meng Xu and Duncan's dunks, Horace Grant has also won three championships with Jordan's veteran qualifications, how could he bear this kind of humiliation, after that game, he had the idea of ​​​​retiring. Rick Fox and Phil Jackson couldn't persuade him no matter what, so when Meng Xu brought up the old story again, Rick Fox immediately became angry. That is, when Rick Fox was furious, Meng Xu suddenly started to attack.

"Ervin, for the first time now, I feel that the league's 5-second rule for backing up is a correct decision." Keith Van Horn and Richard -Compared to Jefferson, Meng Xu's post-up singles against Rick Fox today is undoubtedly more violent. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no rule of 5 seconds for back-ups, Meng Xu can always stand against Rick Fox. To the basket, no, even from Los Angeles to Indianapolis is possible.

"Indeed." Magic Johnson nodded with that expression on his face. If there were no five-second rule, there would definitely be a lot of guys like Barkley in the league, sticking their ass all the way to the basket. Then he scored a layup, and Meng Xu obviously also has this ability.

"Rick, I will avenge you." Seeing the anger and helplessness on his younger brother's face after being bullied, O'Neill stepped forward and patted Rick Fox on the shoulder. At that time, O'Neill could see clearly from behind. I really didn't expect that Meng Xu's small body could burst out such a powerful energy. Rick Fox, who was obviously stronger than Meng Xu, was actually pushed by Meng Xu. Stepping back step by step, until the end, the body even lost its balance.

When it's the Lakers' turn to attack, although Meng Xu doesn't have to defend Kobe, he just needs to watch Rick Fox, but since Jermaine O'Neal is going to double-team O'Neal at any time, Meng Xu must always be ready to switch to defend Robert Holly Well, since he was cheated several times by Robert Hawley at critical moments when he was in the Spurs, Meng Xu will always be very vigilant against Hawley whenever he meets the Lakers. In Meng Xu's view, Hawley is the most threatening person in the entire Lakers except for O'Neal and Kobe.

"The overall defense is very good. The Pacers' player positioning and defensive flexibility are excellent. The Lakers always pass the basketball on the outside." Fisher first called Robert Hawley's pick-and-roll after failing to break through with the ball. But before Hawley reached the pick-and-roll position, he was blocked by Meng Xu. Under the pressure of Jamal Tinsley, Fisher could only hand the basketball to Rick Fox. Rick Fox was covered by Meng Xu, and Rick Fox, who was unable to move, handed over the basketball to Kobe, and Kobe was also stalked by Reggie Miller at the moment. Big, his athletic ability has declined sharply, but relying on his still coquettish positioning, and his prediction of defensive positions and running routes, Reggie Miller can always keep up with Kobe's footsteps.

"Give the ball to Shaq!" Phil Jackson on the sidelines started yelling at the players on the court, seeing the basketball has been tossed around the perimeter for more than 10 seconds without a good chance.

Coincidentally, at this moment, O'Neal poked his ass away from Lorenzen White, and occupied an excellent offensive position on the left side of the basket. Kobe, who was about to get rid of Reggie Miller with the ball, was also somewhat helpless. The basketball was hoisted inside and handed over to the fat man.Kobe, who has unlimited shooting power in the regular season, has been asked by Phil Jackson to reduce the number of shots many times after entering the playoffs. Phil Jackson shouted in Kobe's ear almost every day, asking Kobe to Put more energy into organization and support, so Kobe is now becoming more and more dissatisfied with head coach Phil Jackson.

"Jermaine and Lorenzen are still not enough." After receiving the ball, O'Neal directly bumped away Lorentzen White, and then faced Jermaine O'Neal who rushed to double-team, first swayed, and then he was very direct The basketball was dunked into the basket, and under O'Neal's huge destructive force, the basket rack was making creaking noises.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant. It's better for young people to be honest." After O'Neill landed from the air, he stretched his arms and began to show off his "elegant dance steps", a strong body, exaggerated strides, and a magical expression. It caused screams at the Staples Center.After finishing the celebration, O'Neill did not forget to provoke Meng Xu who was not far away from him.
