Legendary star

Chapter 447

"Meng, are you okay? We are still leading now!" Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, Alan Houston hit two consecutive 3-pointers, reducing the difference between the two sides to 1 point and sitting on the bench. James Posey at the table immediately patted Meng Xu on the shoulder after he noticed that Meng Xu beside him was a little unhappy.Not only Meng Xu, James Posey also does not want to lose today's game, whether it is to end the team's losing streak, or respond to the provocation of the idiots on the sidelines, the Pacers must win today's game Contest.

"I'm fine, James. Even if they overtake them, they won't be able to win today." Meng Xu smiled at Posey, then turned his head to signal the Slovenian center Primoz Brezek at the end of the bench, Grab yourself a glass of water.After the start of the fourth quarter, Meng Xu originally wanted to continue playing, but Larry Bird pushed Meng Xu to the bench and asked Meng Xu and the others to rest first, and then wait until the last few minutes to play directly. Meng Xu, who only wanted to make big news in Madison to reap the game, looked anxious at the situation on the field. The lineup that the Pacers are currently sending to the field is already a substitute among the substitutes, but the Knicks are still on the scene. If it weren't for Alan Houston's two lucky 3-pointers, the current point difference would definitely be more than 10 points, and if the point difference is too large, Meng Xu would definitely not be playing, although He scored 3 points in 48 quarters, but for today's game, for Meng Xu, 48 points are far from enough, not to mention Bernard King's record of 60 points in a single game in Madison. Even Jordan's 55 points are still far behind, and Meng Xu's ambition today is not limited to that.

"I'm going, Jeff is so violent!" Watching the dribble go straight to the top of the arc, and then get rid of Howard Eisley's Bobby Simmons, and throw the basketball directly into the sky, I don't know where Jeff Foster flew over, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked it into the Knicks' basket with a bang. Meng Xu stood up from the bench directly, looking at the ball in disbelief. Jeff Foster still hanging on the rim.Jeff Foster, Meng Xu, and James Posey were rookies in the same year, but unlike the two, after Jeff Foster joined the Pacers, there was Rick Schmitz in the front and Jermaine O'Neal in the back , Lorenzen White came last year, and Mutombo's Pacers came again this year. Jeff Foster never had a chance, and he played only about 10 minutes for four consecutive seasons.Moreover, Meng Xu rarely played with Jeff Foster at the same time, so Meng Xu's impression of Jeff Foster was only that honest and steady white man on the training ground. This white center has such a violent side.

"You bastard, you spilled water all over me." After Meng Xu got up and cheered, James Posey stood up and hit Meng Xu's arm before he could wave the towel. , Meng Xu had just drank half of the water, and just poured it directly on James Posey's body. James Posey, whose coat was wet, immediately grabbed Meng Xu. In Pacers, dare to fight with Meng Xu like this Yes, only James Posey and Reggie Miller.

"These guys can't help." After regaining his composure on the sidelines, Alan Houston, who could not find a suitable shot under the pressure of Bobby Simmons, chose to pass the basketball to Howard E. Sley, but Howard Eisley made a direct shot under Jamal Tinsley's leaky cover, and Meng Xu was so angry that he almost scolded him.

"In the round just now, Meng Xu on the sidelines looked obviously unhappy, and he was still talking plausibly. Was he dissatisfied with the defensive performance of his teammates on the court?" Magic Johnson saw Meng Xu's expression very clearly just now. Not only Magic Johnson, but even the Pacers players on the field, after seeing Meng Xu's expression on the bench as they advanced towards the frontcourt, They were all booing each other and quickly recalling in their minds whether there was anything that they did not do well in the defense just now.Even Larry Bird on the sidelines was at a loss after seeing the mumbling Meng Xu. The Pacers' defense just now was not a problem, whether it was Bobby Simmons' defense against Alan Houston , or Tayshaun Prince's defense against Sprewell, they have done a very good job. If anyone did not perform well on the defensive end just now, it is the only one who missed someone. Jamal Tinsley Yes, but even so, Jamal Tinsley's defense against Howard Eisley's last shot is also perfect. Eisley, under the interference of Jamal Tinsley, directly voted a three-no-stick, so Larry Bird really couldn't figure out what Meng Xu was dissatisfied with.

Although Meng Xu used the enchanting potion before the game, it is still difficult to play an earth-shattering game in Madison and score a jaw-dropping single-game score just relying on the state of enchantment. Considering Meng Xu's touch in the third quarter and the maximum playing time of 6 minutes in the fourth quarter, 60 points is basically Meng Xu's limit, but 60 points is far from enough for Meng Xu, although 60+ The score of 60 points can already break Madison's single-game scoring record, but the effect brought by 71 points is still a bit weak, so in this game, Meng Xu is also going to play a big game, at least to break the big game. David Robinson's scoring record of 71 points in a single game. Although David Robinson was dubbed a brush after that 71 points, 70 points is also the highest score in a single game since the NBA entered the modern era. Even Jordan, in He has never scored 70+ in his career. Even in the entire history of the NBA, only Chamberlain and David Thomps have surpassed David Robinson in scoring in a single game. Therefore, as long as this game, Meng Xu can win To 60+, breaking David Robinson's single-game scoring record, the sensation caused is definitely not comparable to 3+ or ​​triple-double.

However, Meng Xu, who has only scored 48 points so far, is not so easy to get 70+. If he wants to get 70+, the only way for Meng Xu at present is to "pretend to force mode", but to start "pretend to force mode" There is a requirement, that is, the team must be behind. Therefore, after the start of the fourth quarter, Meng Xu has been waiting for the Knicks to overtake the score, but the Knicks are a little disappointed.

"It seems that we can only wait until the second half." As the game progressed, the point difference between the Pacers and the Knicks has been maintained at about two points, and the Knicks have always been short of breath. We have already scored 11 points in the first quarter, but the substitute players who can't stand the Pacers are in a strong state. As soon as the Knicks close the score here, the Pacers will immediately fight back and widen the point difference again, especially Jeff- Foster, a fringe man who averaged only 3.5 points per game last season, made 3 of 3 shots during this period, and Jeff Foster's vigorous picture of grabbing 4 offensive rebounds in 3 minutes made it even more impressive. Meng Xu was dumbfounded.

"The Pacers' substitutes are really awesome! Especially Jeff, you must know that this guy is the Pacers' fourth center!" When Jeff Foster overwhelmed the Knicks' two insiders and grabbed the After the fourth offensive rebound of the game, and then a direct dunk, when the point difference between the two sides was pulled to 4 points again, even Michaels in the commentary booth began to applaud the Pacers substitute.Originally, during the offseason of last season, Larry Bird gave Jeff Foster, whose contract expired, a six-year, $3 million long-term contract, and many media shouted that the Pacers are really stupid and rich, but now It seems that Jeff Foster is clearly worthy of this contract.

"The Knicks called a timeout." Just when the official timeout of the fourth quarter was coming in less than 2 minutes, Knicks head coach Don Cheney impatiently called a timeout. , Now it’s time for life and death. In this game, the Knicks can’t afford to lose no matter what, or Don Cheney can’t afford to lose no matter what. According to Xiao Dolan’s urine, if he loses If I miss today's game, then my good days in the Knicks must be over.

After the timeout, Larry Bird replaced Bobby Simmons with Jamal Tinsley, and Primoz Brezek replaced NN Hilario. For Larry Bird, winning the Knicks This is a very easy thing to do, but now Larry Bird is not only considering the issue of winning or losing the game, but also the overall game state of the players, and physical problems, and how to put the walking power before the playoffs. Adjusting the game state of all the Pacers players to the best is what Larry Bird is most concerned about now. In the recent period, the playing time of the Pacers' rotation players has been greatly improved. The marginalized people on the activation list have gained a lot of opportunities.

"Alan, Alan..." After the game started, Don Cheney's adjustment finally worked. With the unremitting efforts of Alan Houston and Sprewell, the Knicks finally reached 5 points in the fourth quarter. At the minute and a half, he took the lead for the first time in the entire game.When Alan Houston used a mid-range shot to help the Knicks overtake the score, all the fans who supported the Knicks at Madison Square Garden were boiling, and Dolan and Spike Lee rushed to the sidelines in a very exaggerated way, shouting continuously Speaking of Alan Houston's name, Knicks head coach Don Cheney also waved his arms excitedly. At this moment, Don Cheney finally felt elated.

Being able to overtake the score before the official timeout came is definitely a very good result for the Knicks, but Sprewell and Alan Houston, who have played 42 consecutive minutes, have physical problems at the final decisive moment. greatest uncertainty.During the timeout, the Knicks head coach Don Cheney squatted there directly, giving Alan Johnson a gentle beating on his legs while giving instructions face-to-face.

"The time for the decisive battle has finally come!" When the timeout ended and all the main players of the two teams entered the field, Madison Square Garden burst into cheers again. The excitement of today's game has greatly exceeded the expectations of the fans. It is expected that whether it is Meng Xu's 48 points in three quarters or Alan Houston's 42 points, this game will become a classic for the Knicks this season. If the Knicks can win this game, it will be even more perfect.

"Meng, you bastard, you don't even deserve to give Alan the shoes. Alan is the best star in the league." Before the game started, Spike Lee was already lonely, and it just so happened that the Knicks were leading the Pacers again. Therefore, Spike Lee began to show his presence on the sidelines again, constantly provoking Meng Xu.

"Idiot!" After Spike Lee provoked Meng Xu, some Knicks fans in the surrounding stands also began to follow Spike Lee's rhythm, shouting loudly at Meng Xu. Meng Xu heard these noisy shouts , also made a move that stunned the fans, Meng Xu ran directly to the commentary booth on the sidelines, and deliberately asked Magic Johnson: "Hey, Erwin, what is Madison's highest score? "

After receiving an affirmative answer from Magic Johnson, Meng Xu walked up to Spike Lee and Xiao Dolan, and said to them with a smile: "The wonderful show begins now!"

After the start of the game, Meng Xu directly took over the ball from Jamal Tinsley. After rushing to the top of the arc with the ball, he ignored Howard Eisley in front of him at all. Xu was half his head short, so Meng Xu didn't even jump. He just stood on tiptoe and threw the basketball out of his hand.

"Meng's attack this time was too casual, and the shot was too hasty. Although there is a big gap between Howard Eisley's height and Meng's, but... oops, this goal actually scored." When Michaels was constantly criticizing Meng Xu's shot timing, Michaels also blushed when he saw that the basketball thrown by Meng Xu went in.

"Hahahaha, Al." Seeing Michaels' embarrassment, Magic Johnson immediately laughed, but for what Michaels said just now, Magic Johnson still somewhat agrees: "Although this goal was scored, but we have to He said that Meng Xu is indeed a little anxious now, although the Knicks have overtaken the score, but the situation on the court is still favorable for the Pacers, play slowly and ensure the success rate of each attack is the most important thing."
