Chapter 446

"Is Don Cheney going to let Alan Houston and Latrell play the entire game?" After the start of the second half of the game, Larry Bird replaced the substitute lineup as always, while the opposite Knicks were completely opposite. Not only did Don Cheney not replace the substitute lineup, but he continued to keep the main players such as Alan Houston and Sprewell on the court. Looking at the posture, he wanted to take advantage of the Pacers to replace the substitute lineup. During this period of time, the main lineup was used to smooth the point difference between the two sides, and even to complete the overtake. From this, it can also be seen that the depth of the Knicks' current lineup is really very poor, and it has come to use the main lineup to deal with it. The situation of the Pacers bench lineup is gone.Moreover, the head coach of the Knicks, Don Cheney, obviously lacks a way to deal with it now. He can only ruthlessly fuck Alan Houston and Sprewell, and continue to put them on the court to gamble.

"No matter what, we can't lose this game, we can't lose!" Looking at the players under his command who were sweating profusely on the court, Don Cheney, standing on the sidelines, folded his hands on his chest and said secretly in his heart.Originally, when Don Cheney accepted the invitation of Isaiah Thomas to take over the Knicks, he was full of ambitions. To be able to take charge of a giant like the Knicks is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for every head coach, but Don Cheney, who wanted to have a big fight, came to the Knicks, but found that everything was not so easy.Especially the owner of the Knicks, James Dowland, this rich second generation has no plans for the team's construction at all, and everything is determined by his own likes and dislikes. Perhaps in his eyes, the Knicks are just It's just a big toy.Although Xiao Dolan didn't have any rigid targets for the team's record this season, the rich second generation also set several basic requirements for Don Cheney. The first is that the team should completely abandon Pat Riley and The ugly style of play in the Jeff Van Gundy era, playing offensive basketball that can attract crowds and sell tickets.The second is that you can't lose to the Pacers and Heat in any case, especially in Madison Square Garden. Therefore, as long as you win today's game, Don Cheney's coaching position will be as stable as Mount Tai. , and next season will be the time for him to show his ambitions.

It's just that the current situation on the court makes Don Cheney feel uneasy. Although the Knicks have deployed all the main players, they can't even suppress the Pacers' substitute lineup on the court. The Knicks' two insiders, In the face of the two substitutes NN-Hilary and Lorenzen-White, they were beaten terribly by the opponent. The confrontation was a little weaker, but the Knicks' two shots in the backcourt, even James Posey and Tayshaun Prince, couldn't handle them, which was enough to make Don Cheney worry.And the more the situation on the court was like this, the more Don Cheney felt that his fate was in the hands of others. Don Cheney hated this feeling very much.

Once the Knicks' main lineup cannot overtake the score during this period of time, the situation on the field will really be irreversible after the Pacers' main players come back on the court. You must know that several of the Knicks' main players have already It's been close to 30 minutes since the Pacers played, but the main players of the Pacers didn't even play 20 minutes, especially Meng Xu, who spent half of the first half resting on the sidelines. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks didn't have any physical advantage.

"Latrier, I think you can't run anymore. Do you want to go off the court to rest and change someone to defend me?" When the third quarter played for 4 minutes, the Knicks once again closed the gap between the two sides. After shrinking to 2 points, Larry Bird called a timeout and replaced the entire main lineup, while the Knicks still maintained the previous lineup without any adjustments. After Meng Xu played, he could clearly feel Defending Sprewell himself, his physical strength was a little exhausted, so Meng Xu also asked "concern" to Sprewell.

"MD, why is this leg so unbelievable?" Although Sprewell also wanted to refute Meng Xu, but when he thought of Meng Xu's greetings one after another because of his own provocation in the first half, Sprewell couldn't help it. It's big.And in today's game, Sprewell can obviously feel that his physical strength is already problematic. If it is normal, if he plays a game for 40 minutes, his physical strength will not be a major problem. Even in the high-intensity playoffs, Sprewell's physical strength is enough to maintain the state for 35 minutes, but today, Sprewell only played for less than 30 minutes. I can already feel that there is a problem with my physical strength, especially in the confrontation with Meng Xu now, Sprewell can feel very clearly that his physical strength is passing away rapidly, this feeling, Sprewell It can only be felt in back-to-back games.

"Jamal, pass the ball quickly, I'm empty, I'm empty, no one is guarding me now, pass the ball quickly." After Meng Xu squeezed away Sprewell, he took two big strides and rushed to the right Outside the 3-point line, and Meng Xu happened to be behind the Knicks bench, so Meng Xu yelled at Jamal Tinsley, who was dribbling at the top of the arc, while exaggerating Doing various actions.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing Meng Xu's exaggerated performance in front of the Knicks bench, Magic Johnson was already laughing in the commentary seat not far away. As for the object of Meng Xu's imitation, he walked Larry Bird, who was on the bench, had already covered his face with his hands at this moment, and couldn't bear to watch the scene on the field. Only now did Larry Bird understand how ridiculous what he did back then.

"FACK, this bastard." Shandon Anderson, who was sitting just behind Meng Xu, immediately stood up from the bench after seeing Meng Xu's exaggerated performance, ready to rush into the arena to "discuss theory" with Meng Xu It's just that Shandon Anderson was hugged by the assistant coach just as he rushed to the sidelines. If Shandon Anderson rushed into the court like this, he would definitely be unable to eat and walk around.

"Latrier, I think you should go down and rest. You are in the same state as a 50-year-old man." After Meng Xu reached out for the ball, Jamal Tinsley took a step laterally, Immediately handed over the basketball to Meng Xu. Although Sprewell had already defended in place in time, Meng Xu still didn't hesitate at all, and jumped up next to Sprewell, Yanshe decisively. After landing on the ground, Prewell looked at the panting Sprewell, Meng Xu once again sent a "concerned" smile to Sprewell.

Meng Xu's first shot after playing made Don Cheney on the sidelines tremble with fear, but Meng Xu's subsequent two consecutive strikes made Don Cheney calm down a lot.Meng Xu made 17 of 12 shots in the first half and scored 12 points in 36 minutes of playing. His efficiency was outrageously high, so Don Cheney was also very afraid that Meng Xu's fiery state would continue into the second half, but the feeling of this thing, It’s really not something you can control if you want to control it, especially after a long rest, even Jordan needs time to adjust, let alone Meng Xu, so after Meng Xu only made one of three 3-pointers , Don Cheney, who had held back most of the game, finally had a relaxed expression on his face.

Of course, Don Cheney doesn't dare to put all his chips on Meng Xu's poor hand feeling. He counted on a super scorer who made 17 of 12 shots in the first half. Or a few shots in 10 or so, I'm afraid it's not a dream, so taking advantage of the opportunity of Meng Xu's continuous strikes, Don Cheney on the sidelines also started yelling at the court, instructing the players on the court to take advantage of this period. Time, strengthen your offense, and overtake the score as soon as possible.

"Hey, Latrier, it's 42 to 2 now, you have to work harder, I'm going to get 50 points soon." After two consecutive missed shots, Meng Xu's fourth shot It finally made a hit. Since Sprewell once again made sarcastic words after he hit the iron continuously, after Meng Xu hit the ball, he unceremoniously gestured towards Sprewell beside him.

"Asshole, it's 42 to 15, it's 42 to 15, I've already scored 15 points, asshole." After hearing Meng Xu's sarcasm, Sprewell immediately lost his composure and rushed directly to Meng Xu. He shouted loudly, with this posture, people who don't know may think that Sprewell is going to rush up to fight Meng Xu.

"Latrier, of the 15 points you scored, only 2 points were scored in front of me, and all of my 42 points were cut off on your head, so, in my opinion, this It's 42 to 2, do you think what I said makes sense?" After Sprewell rushed over, Meng Xu also went up to meet him, both of them held their heads high, like fighting cocks, trying to overwhelm As for the opponent, neither Meng Xu nor Sprewell has any intention to do so.

"Bastard, say one more thing!" Just when Sprewell was furious, the teammates of the two rushed over, while protecting their teammates, they accused and abused each other, and soon the referee's whistle sounded That's right, Meng Xu and Sprewell each received a technical foul. After the referee each hit 50 rebounds, a conflict that was about to explode was instantly extinguished.

"3 points in 48 quarters. Although Meng Xu's state declined in the third quarter, he still made 7 of 3 shots and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 12 points and increased his total score to 48 points. If there is an accident, Meng will definitely score 50+ again in today's game." When the third quarter ended and Michaels got the technical statistics, when both players left the field, he called out Meng Xu's data, 48 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists.When Michaels shouted out Meng Xu's data, Madison erupted into a burst of applause and cheers. Soon, those diehard Knicks fans who were unwilling to do so also gave Meng Xu a round of tit-for-tat. There were violent boos, and for a while the entire Madison was drowned in boos, applause, and cheers.

As the owner of the Knicks, Xiao Dolan was naturally extremely distressed after seeing this scene. As the home court of the Knicks, the audience in Madison did not even have the basic awareness. Madison often happens in games. The scene of betrayal, if it wasn't for the sake of money, Xiao Daolan really wanted to add them to Madison's blacklist, so that they would not be able to enter for the rest of their lives.Xiao Daolan, who was already very unhappy, immediately became angry when he saw Meng Xu who was smiling when he finished, and yelled directly at Meng Xu who was not far away from him: "Even if you can get 50 points , It’s useless not to win the game.”

"That's right, big brush." ​​After Xiao Daolan started to taunt, Spike Lee on the side also agreed.

"50 points is useless, then get 60 points, if 60 points is not good, then get 70 points." After hearing Xiao Daolan's voice, Meng Xu stopped where he was, and stared at Xiao Daolan and Si Daolan with a slight smile. Parker Lee: "Victory must be ours."

"Idiot, you still want to score 70 points in Madison, go make your dream." After hearing Meng Xu's words, Spike Lee was taken aback for a moment, and then sprayed a series of idiots towards Meng Xu.

"Whether it's a dream or not, you have to try it out." Meng Xu showed a "charming" smile at Spike Lee and Xiao Daolan, then turned and walked towards the Pacers' bench, leaving only curses behind him .
