Chapter 433 Let Me Teach You A Lesson

"Amare, your post-up technique is really bad. As an inside player, you don't have excellent post-up technique, but it won't work. Now let me teach you how to play post-up singles. During the offensive and defensive transition, Meng Xu held the ball and appeared on the left side of the 3-point line. Hardaway, who was supposed to be facing Meng Xu, did not come to defend Meng Xu this time. Instead, Stoudemire rushed from the basket After coming out, he wanted to defend Meng Xu himself. Regardless of the reason, Meng Xu appreciated Stoudemire's courage and tenacity.

"Huh." Stoudemire opened his mouth, ready to mock Meng Xu, but when he thought of the coach's advice to him during the season, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed.With Hardaway's current physical condition, there is absolutely no way to take Meng Xu one-on-one. Therefore, in the defensive strategy formulated by head coach Frank Johnson before the game, as long as Meng Xu holds the ball and plays singles, Marion or Stoudemire will have someone pull out to defend Hardaway, and Frank Johnson also specifically told Stoudemire and Marion to be careful when defending Meng Xu's post-up singles. Don't underestimate the enemy. A big man like Ma Long can't handle Meng Xu's back, let alone Marion and Stoudemire.

Although Stoudemire didn't say anything, in his heart, he still had some disdain for Frank Johnson's excessive caution. Stoudemire often watched Meng Xu's games, and Meng Xu's back-up skills are good However, Meng Xu is an outside player after all. No matter how good his strength is, he still has a big gap compared with inside players.In the last game between the Pacers and the Lakers, Meng Xu had an absolute advantage when playing Kobe, Payton, and Booker in back-to-back singles, but when they met Malone, Meng Xu could not take advantage at all. He can only rely on skills to get rid of Ma Long by turning his back, and the old Ma Long can't keep up with Meng Xu in terms of turning speed and moving speed. .And Stoudemire thinks that compared with Malone, his upper body strength may be inferior, but it is more than enough to withstand an outside player, and his own movement speed, reaction ability, and explosive power are also better than Malone. Therefore, it is impossible for Meng Xu to get rid of himself as he got rid of Ma Long.

"Damn it, why is his strength so strong?" When Meng Xu dribbled the ball and began to push towards the back, although he had been prepared for a long time, Stoudemire still pushed forward under the huge thrust. Taking half a step back, Meng Xu's strength had already far exceeded Stoudemire's estimation.

"Is this not enough? This is just the beginning." After the first test, Meng Xu also had a general understanding of Stoudemire's power, let alone a pervert like Marlon Duncan, even Jie Maine O'Neal, Stoudemire are not as good.After pushing back twice in a row, Meng Xu directly exerted his greatest strength and sat down fiercely towards Stoudemire behind him. This time, Stoudemire was directly hit by Meng Xu He lost his balance and took a big step back with his right foot before he could barely support it.

At this moment, Meng Xu quickly turned around in front of Stoudemire, first made a movement to break through to the right, and after shaking Stoudemire, Meng Xu immediately withdrew his body and moved towards Stoudemire. Demier's left side rushed over. After getting rid of Stoudemire, facing Marion who was defending and Hardaway who had already chased behind him, Meng Xu turned around and passed Marion again.

"It's so fast!" Just as Stoudemire came back to his senses and was about to rush towards the basket, Meng Xu was already hanging on the basket. The Suns don't have a big guy like O'Neal. Inside, no one can stop Meng Xu from rushing to the basket.

Looking at Meng Xu who raised his hands to accept the cheers of the audience, recalling every episode of the round just now, Stoudemire still has a feeling of unreality. Stoudemire and Ma It is true that Lyon are all inside players, but they are different from those traditional insiders with average moving speed. In the attack just now, both Stoudemire and Marion were easily passed by Meng Xu with his back turned, and when they reacted, they could no longer catch up with Meng Xu .

"Even Stoudemire can't stop Meng Xu's post-up singles? It seems that it is impossible to find an outside line in this league that can guard against Meng Xu's post-ups." At this moment, those who were originally The media, especially the New York Times reporters, who were waiting on the sidelines to watch Meng Xu's jokes, kept shaking their heads with disappointment on their faces.The Suns themselves are a bad guy, and they sent away the team's boss Marbury this summer, so this team really doesn't get much attention now, but today's game between the Suns and the Pacers, many media in New York still came to the scene , not for anything else, just to be able to watch Stoudemire's "revenge" of the Pacers live, such a good show.What's more, some newspapers even wrote tomorrow's headlines, "Sightless, arrogant, Pacers miss super insider!" "Worst deal in history, Stoudemire blows Pacers' $2000 million insider combination !” Anyway, it’s just what attracts attention, and when Meng Xu and Stoudemire kept going one-on-one at the beginning of the game, the media wanted to add something, such as “the strongest rookie of the season , Destroy the MVP" or something, but judging from the current situation on the field, their attempt is obviously going to fail.

"Meng Xu once again played Stoudemire with his back single. Stoudemire couldn't stand him at all. He turned around and hit the board with a jumper. It was beautiful."

"Stoudemire received a pass from Hardaway and was about to single Meng Xu. No, Stoudemire made a mistake, Meng Xu made a steal, and the Pacers made a fast break. It was a beautiful alley-oop." During the game, the Pacers kept suppressing the Suns, and Meng Xu also kept suppressing Stoudemire. Whether it was on the offensive end or on the defensive end, Stoudemire did nothing.

"Jermaine, what's the matter with you? Pay attention to your defense!" Facing Meng Xu's all-round suppression, from the second half of the first quarter, Stoudemire began to deliberately avoid Meng Xu , In this attack, taking advantage of Meng Xu being blocked by Hardaway, Stoudemire faced Jermaine O'Neal with the ball.And Jermaine O'Neal, who saw Stoudemire being "bullied" by Meng Xu for most of the quarter, also somewhat underestimated the enemy. An insider who even Meng Xu can handle at will, Jermaine O'Neal naturally couldn't see it. Yes, but this time, Stoudemire taught Jermaine O'Neal a solid lesson. Stoudemire, who pretended to play Jermaine O'Neal with a post-up single, started to stand in front of Jermaine O'Neal. Immediately after that, it was a half-turn, and after directly erasing Jermaine O'Neal, Stoudemire hit a mid-range jumper and hit his first goal in the game.

Although I have been suppressing Stoudemire in the previous time, this does not mean that Stoudemire is a guy who is bullied casually. You must know that his state in this game is Obsessed, although Meng Xu has not checked Stoudemire's current strength, but after all attributes +10, Stoudemire is at least not weaker than Jermaine O'Neal.The strength of two people is equal, and you may not be able to hold each other with all your strength, let alone you still have the mentality of underestimating the enemy.Although there are some things that cannot be explained clearly, when Jermaine O'Neal sent the baseline ball and passed by Meng Xu, Meng Xu still reminded Jermaine O'Neal a little dissatisfied.

After hearing Meng Xu's reminder, Jermaine O'Neill also nodded towards Meng Xu with some embarrassment. If he can't even handle a rookie like Stoudemire, how can he go out and punch him in the future? Duncan kicked O'Neal.

"I underestimated this rookie, Meng, don't worry, I will definitely fix him next time."

After all, Stoudemire is a rookie. Even if he is superior, he will be greatly discounted due to lack of experience. Even if he is as strong as O'Neal, when he first entered the league, he was repaired by the "big three centers" for two seasons. In order to stand up to them.Not to mention that Stoudemire's strength is not yet superior, so Jermaine O'Neal still has this confidence. After all, Jermaine O'Neal said that he is now an All-Star insider and a championship team It's not a matter of hands to fix a rookie.

"I'll go, this guy is not easy to deal with." Since Jermaine O'Neal has just been hit by Stoudemire, in this offense, the entanglement with Stoudemire at the basket is slightly occupied After getting a little upper hand, Jermaine O'Neal immediately reached out to Meng Xu, ready to return one, in order to regain the field, but after receiving the ball, Jermaine O'Neal pushed Stoudemire several times in a row After that, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Not only that, but I was also very uncomfortable by Stoudemire's close defense.Fortunately, Stoudemire is still inexperienced in the game. Jermaine O'Neal's half-turned and raised his hand made him stand up. After Stoudemire lost his position, Jermaine O'Neal lightly Standing on tiptoe, he put the basketball into the basket leisurely.

"Hardaway's ground pass found Stoudemire very accurately. After receiving the ball, Stoudemire swayed away from Jermaine O'Neal's defense and rushed directly to the basket. Is he going to dunk? "Just when Stoudemire was flying into the air and was about to use all his strength to dunk the basketball into the hoop, he felt something blocking the front of the basketball. It's like shooting a basketball on the backboard.

When the horrified Stoudemire looked at it, he found that a big hand was pressing on the basketball in his hand impartially. Meng Xu, it was Meng Xu again, who had been given by Hardaway just now. Meng Xu, who blocked him, appeared in front of him like a ghost at this moment, and blocked his dunk.

Almost instantly, Stoudemire felt a huge force transmitted from the basketball to his palm, and then spread to his whole body. Stoudemire, who was still floating in the air, immediately lost his balance. It fell directly from the sky.

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful block, Meng Xu, Meng Xu again, this is the third time Meng Xu has blocked Stoudemire in this game." When Meng Xu and Stoudemire shot from the air When it fell, the basketball shot by Meng Xu rolled out of the sideline. Seeing Meng Xu who had got up and stood under the basket and was arranging his jersey, Michaels roared angrily and stood up from the commentary seat.

"In fact, Amare's performance today is not as bad as the data shows. Whether it is against Mutombo or against Jermaine O'Neal, his performance is remarkable." His teammates pulled up from the floor, Stoudemire was obviously at a loss, and Magic Johnson, who was holding technical statistics in his hand, was also a little regretful. He made 4 of 1 shots, 2 points, 3 rebounds and 4 turnovers. Stoudemire's numbers in the first quarter.In the first quarter of the game, whether Stoudemire faced Mutombo or Jermaine O'Neal, in addition to the obvious lack of game experience, no matter whether he was fighting for the position at the basket, In terms of rebound protection, and even covering for teammates, Stoudemire did not fall behind, but when facing Meng Xu, no matter whether it was offense or defense, he was beaten by Meng Xu without temper. .In several confrontations with Jermaine O'Neal, Stoudemire clearly had the upper hand, but in the end he was destroyed by Meng Xu who rushed to help defend.

"Ervin, you have to know that the most important part of the Pacers' defensive system is Meng's help defense. Defensive outside players, Meng Xu's defense has always been the top in the league, especially Meng Xu's help defense, his defensive sense is unbelievable."

"Amare, let me teach you another lesson. Whenever, wherever, no matter what you want to do on the court, you must pay attention to what is behind you." Meng Xu, who was still standing under the basket, looked at the horse Stoudemire, who was pulled up by Leon and Hardaway, said seriously.Originally, Meng Xu was planning to add insult to injury and provoke Stoudemire, but after seeing Hadaway's "sincere" gaze, for some reason, Meng Xu's heart softened at that moment.

Soon the first quarter of this game was over, 18 to 26. After the first quarter, the Suns in the away game fell behind the Pacers by 8 points. If the Suns still have the power to fight in the first quarter , then in the second quarter, the sun is a thousand miles away.Especially Stoudemire, who said before the game that he would blow up the Pacers inside, basically lost his fighting spirit after halftime. Stoudemire, who played 17 minutes in the first half, made 9 of 2 shots. Among them, only 5 points and 5 rebounds were scored, but the number of turnovers reached 7 times.
