Chapter 445 Is Someone Really Watching Me?

"Don, is any of you guarding me? Who did you arrange to guard me? Why can't I see him from the beginning to the end?" Meng Xu rushed to the Knicks' bench after the shot was made. Don Cheney, the head coach of the Knicks, just spit, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

"A very beautiful three-pointer. This is Meng's 13th consecutive point after the opening. Meng's shooting is still as decisive as ever." After Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer and scored 13 points in a row, Magic Johnson immediately started Touted Meng Xu. After the first 3-point shot, it is certain that Meng Xu has recovered his touch. The embarrassing scenes in the previous 7 games will definitely not continue to appear today, so Magic Johnson , You can blow it hard today without worrying about being slapped in the face.Because there has always been a very evil "first ball law" in Meng Xu. As long as Meng Xu hits the first 3-pointer, then Meng Xu's 3-point shooting percentage in this game will definitely not be low. According to statistics from ESPN, Meng Xu did not have a 3-point shooting rate lower than 3% in any of the games where Meng Xu made his first 45-pointer. In the few games where the shooting percentage was extremely low, Meng Xu's first 7-point shot was all hit. Although there are many people who scoff at this so-called "law of the first shot", these people who refute are always looking for it. There is no way to refute it, because the data listed by ESPN are well-founded and convincing, and there is no way to refute it.Even Meng Xu himself didn't know the reason for this. Maybe it was like what Anna said, after the first ball was hit, it could give Meng Xu a little comfort and hint, which was weak in mental will, so that the hit rate could be increased to a certain extent. .

"The Knicks' defensive strategy today has a big problem. A super scorer like Meng Xu, no matter how bad his touch is, as long as the basketball is in his hands, it will be very dangerous." After Xu, Michaels can no longer brag about Meng Xu. Michaels, who has nothing to do, can only criticize the Knicks' defensive strategy on the court after the fact. Although Michaels also knows that it is not right to guard Meng Xu so easy.

"Hmph, it's just an ordinary 3 points, it seems like you have already killed us." Seeing the picture of Meng Xu turning around to celebrate, Sprewell, who was originally a little embarrassed, immediately became furious , Isn't it just a 3-pointer, as for such an arrogant celebration, Sprewell doesn't believe in such nonsense as the "first ball rule".If someone else dared to be so arrogant in Madison, Sprewell would have hammered him in the morning.

"It's 13 to 2, Latrier, it's already 13 to 2, is this just a 3-pointer?" After hearing Sprewell's sarcasm behind him, Meng Xu immediately turned to look at Sprewell behind him Rewell, then gestured to him, indicating that the Pacers had a 13-2 lead over the Knicks, whose only mid-range shot in the first few minutes of the game happened to be Sprewell After the opening shot, Sprewell celebrated exaggeratedly for a long time after hitting the mid-range shot.

"FACK!" Sprewell, who provoked Meng Xu, was spouted by Meng Xu and didn't know how to deal with it. Will ran directly towards the frontcourt.He is not Julius Owen, nor does he have a younger brother like Barkley, and more importantly, Sprewell also knows that he can't handle Meng Xu, and if he really wants to do it, he will suffer.

"Hey, Latrell, are you defending me?" After being aroused by Sprewell's desire to spout trash, it was Meng Xu's turn to chatter in Sprewell's ear, When Meng Xu hit the third point of the game and increased his scoring in a single quarter to 19 points, Meng Xu started again at Sprewell next to him: "19 to 2, 19 to 2 19, 2 to [-]..."

"It looks like the Knicks are going to be slaughtered by the Pacers at home in this game!" After the official timeout of the first quarter came, Michaels shook his head as he watched the players on both sides leaving the field one after another, 21 to 11, half the game , The Pacers beat the Knicks by 10 points. From Pat Riley, to Jeff Van Gundy, to Don Cheney, the Knicks are not as good as the next generation, and they are getting worse.

"10 points, 10 points lost in half a quarter, is this still the Knicks? It's rubbish!"

"The current Knicks are too bad, Dowland is like shit, he will destroy the Knicks!"

With the arrival of the timeout, there was a burst of cursing in Madison Square Garden, and the cursing was basically addressed to the Knicks owner Dolan, although when Pat Riley coached the Knicks, the Knicks' style of play It was once one of the ugliest teams in the league, but Pat Riley's Knicks have always been the powerhouses in the East. It's just that Wang Xiaoer's new year is not as good as it is every year. From a team that can compete for the championship, it has been reduced to struggling for a place in the playoffs. By this season, it has simply become a fish at the mercy of others. Belly.At this moment, Xiao Daolan is probably also greeting these ancestors in his heart. When the team's performance is good, you dislike the embarrassment of the game and want to watch beautiful basketball. Now that the Knicks are playing beautifully, you want to do well. , It's really difficult to serve.

The Pacers are No. [-] in the East, and the Knicks are No. [-] in the East. Therefore, many fans have already made enough mental preparations before coming. The Knicks were rubbed against the ground by the Pacers. This was expected before the start of the game. Arrived, but now it's only halfway through the first quarter, and the Knicks have already lost so much, which is unacceptable to many people.

"19 points in half a quarter, Meng Xu won't break his scoring record in a single quarter today, will he?" A reporter at the press booth shouted immediately after getting the technical statistics for the first half of the first quarter. Soon, this sentence spread to the entire press box. Except for the local Knicks reporters, almost all the reporters in the press box are looking forward to the resumption of the game, looking forward to Meng Xu refreshing his score in a single quarter today. Record, as long as Meng Xu can successfully break the record, it is conceivable that all the newspapers reporting on the NBA will be sold again tomorrow.

But to the disappointment of these reporters on the scene, perhaps because of the large lead, Larry Bird directly dispatched the substitute lineup after the timeout in the first quarter, and let the main lineup rest.However, before making the substitution, Larry Bird still sought Meng Xu's opinion, and Meng Xu just said lightly: "Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to break the record." In fact, what Meng Xu is worried about now is that if the first In the first quarter, the Knicks were beaten to the ground. In the second quarter, Don Cheney conceded defeat. The enchanting potion he spent 1000 points in exchange for wasted. It was a waste of time to lead by a big score. It is impossible for Meng Xu to go on the court to score points. Doing so will not only delay Meng Xu's laziness, but also make those media who question Meng Xu's scoring more rampant.

The Knicks did not live up to Meng Xu's painstaking efforts. After all the main players of the Pacers were off the court, the Knicks chased after the second half of the first quarter. The Knicks had two shots in the backcourt. Duan scored 7 points on 4 of 9 shots, and Sprewell also scored 5 points on 3 of 7 shots. Under their leadership, by the end of the first quarter, 35 to 30, the point difference between the two sides has been narrowed It's only 5 points.

As the gap between the two sides continued to shrink, Xiao Dolan and Spike Lee, who had been silent on the sidelines for a long time, became active again, especially after the opening of the second quarter, Alan Houston narrowed the gap between the two sides with a 3-pointer When there were only 2 points left, Xiao Daolan and Spike Lee stood up excitedly and kept chanting Alan Houston's name.

"Larry can really hold his breath." Seeing that the Pacers' 10-point lead will be wiped out, Larry Bird is still sitting on the bench very calmly on the sidelines, and does not have the slightest intention to replace the main force The player's plan, but continue to discuss the next arrangements and arrangements with the assistant coach Lester Conor in a leisurely manner, seeing that his old buddy is still as immobile as a mountain in this situation In addition to admiration, Magic Johnson just sighed. Perhaps the championship can really sublimate a person's temperament. Compared with Larry Bird before he won the championship, Larry Bird has obviously changed a lot.

"Alan, kill them! Kill these Indiana bitches..." Alan Houston's 3-pointer just helped the Knicks narrow the point difference to two points, and Reggie Miller immediately retaliated, using A 3-pointer once again widened the point difference to 5 points. After the shot was made, Reggie Miller, as usual, directed towards the Knicks' bench, especially where Xiao Dolan and Spike Lee were sitting, and sent them cursing. With a provocative move, Spike Lee, who was obviously irritated by Reggie Miller, rushed to the sidelines, pointed at Reggie Miller, and started cursing.

"It's really a pair of enemies." Originally, the league would definitely issue a ticket to the player for this kind of conflict between players and fans, but the scolding between Reggie Miller and Spike Lee has long since become Madison Garden. This is a special view of the square, so the league turned a blind eye to it. As long as no one complained, the league would ignore it, allowing Reggie Miller and Spike Lee to make the headlines of local New York newspapers again and again.

"Oh, Latrier, why are you defending me again? Can you still run?" The official timeout of the second quarter, after ample rest, Meng Xu went into battle again, and for the Knicks, Alan Houston and Sprewell have not rested for a minute. After the Pacers replaced the main lineup, in order not to be left behind by the Pacers' main lineup, they were still defeated by Don Cheney. stayed on the field.

"Bastard, it's more than enough to deal with you." After learning the lesson of the first quarter, Sprewell didn't dare to go too far when defending Meng Xu, and at the same time never said again: "You Vote, I’ll let you vote.” Something like that.

"Whether you can handle it or not, you'll know soon." After leaving a word, Meng Xu immediately ran to the left of the 3-point line.

When Meng Xu was on the left side of the line, leaning sideways on Sprewell, after receiving a pass from Jamal Tinsley, it seemed that it was just a light lean, and Sprewell was caught. Push it away, and when Sprewell posted it again, Meng Xu jumped up decisively, stepped back and pulled out his hand.Sprewell, who had tried his best to jump up to interfere with Meng Xu, found that even if he jumped up, it was futile. Meng Xu not only bounced well and fast, but also had excellent wingspan. In addition, the shooting point is also high, not to mention interfering with the basketball he throws, even Meng Xu's elbow Sprewell can't reach it.

What made Sprewell even more mad was that Meng Xu deliberately made physical contact with himself in the air when his shooting was basically completed. Sprewell, who couldn't squeeze Meng Xu on the ground, was even more so in the air. He was no longer Meng Xu's opponent. Just as Sprewell lost his balance, Meng Xu's arm rubbed against his hand on purpose. After landing, Sprewell staggered and almost fell. Hearing that the referee not far away blew the whistle for a defensive foul, Sprewell was so angry that he went directly to the referee to argue.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew here, Xiao Dolan on the sidelines immediately exploded. This is Madison Square Garden. As the home team, the Knicks can't enjoy the home whistle. Meng Xu's Sprewell had only been facing off against Meng Xu for a few minutes, and he had already fouled twice. He couldn't bear it, and the distraught Xiao Daolan immediately rushed to the sidelines, flopping, the actor or something, Sprayed a lot on Meng Xu, if it wasn't for the Knicks' assistant coach pulling him, Xiao Daolan would have been able to rush into the court.

"James, this ball is for you." After the extra penalty hit, Meng Xu immediately gestured towards Xiao Daolan, who was still cursing on the sidelines, and Xiao Daolan, after seeing Meng Xu's provocative gesture, instead The scolding became even more fierce, and all kinds of crabs starting with F spewed out.

When the first half of the game was about to end with dozens of seconds left, the point difference between the two sides was widened to 8 points again. The Knicks had worked so hard to narrow the point difference to 1 point in the previous game. , and the main force of the Pacers only played more than 5 points, and the point difference between the two sides was once again pulled to close to 10 points.

"Tang, is someone really guarding me? I think you should think about it and arrange another person to guard me. Maybe you should double-team me in advance." Meng Xu only played for 12 minutes in the first half. He made 17 of 12 shots, 3 of 9 5-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws, 36 points, and 7 rebounds. When he walked off the court, he passed by Knicks coach Don Cheney. When he found that Don Cheney was staring at him with wide eyes, Meng Xu smiled and said something to Don Cheney.

"Bastard, bitch, bitch." After hearing what Meng Xu said, Don Cheney wished he could rush up and pinch Meng Xu immediately, but when he saw Meng Xu's strong body and his small body However, Don Cheney finally dismissed the idea, but cursed crazily in his heart, cursing Meng Xu.
