Legendary star

Chapter 474
"Jeff, do you think the Pacers can tie the score or overtake while Shaq is not on the court?" Insider Stanislav Medvedenko and Karl Malone were overwhelmed by Mutombo and James Posey. After losing the advantage of the insider and the deterrence of O'Neal at the basket, Meng Xu can no longer The scruples of hitting the Lakers' basket are gone, so this period of time when O'Neal is off the court is definitely a great opportunity for the Pacers to move back to the score.

"This possibility is still very high. Although Meng Xu will habitually reduce the number of shots in the second and third quarters, Meng Xu's breakthrough will still cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers, especially when O'Neal is off. Afterwards, the Lakers' insiders were no longer deterrent to Meng Xu. But on the Lakers side, Kobe, Malone, and Payton are still on the court. With the abilities of the three of them, the Lakers are unlikely to experience a scoring shortage. , so now is the time for the two sides to compete in defense and success rate." Jeff Van Gundy was only temporarily invited to explain this year's finals, and he didn't like the Lakers or the Pacers who led to his dismissal from the Knicks. , Therefore, Jeff Van Gundy does not have any bias in today's commentary, and always adheres to a rational and objective commentary position, which is very similar to his usual coaching style.

"The Lakers mainly depend on Kobe's performance. Malone is now deeply trapped in the quagmire of Mutombo's defense. Although Mutombo has a little difficulty defending O'Neal, he still has no problem defending the current Malone. Don's desire to attack is not strong now, and most of his energy is put on defense and organization, so although the Lakers still have three superstars on the court, the only one they can rely on now is Kobe, but Kobe is in the first place. There were basically no shots in one quarter, and it is also a question of whether you can find the touch after playing. All in all, the time when O'Neal was off the court was definitely a very difficult few minutes for the Lakers." After Jeff Van Gundy said Afterwards, Magic Johnson went on to add that judging from Magic Johnson's current expression, it seems that he is still quite worried about the Lakers.

As if to dispel Magic Johnson's worries, just after Magic Johnson's voice fell, Kobe, under Meng Xu's defense, made a back-and-forth jumper, extending the score between the two sides to 6 points.

"It seems that Kobe's touch is still fine, but Meng Xu needs to adjust his touch." After Kobe made a shot and it was the Pacers' turn to attack, the basketball changed hands several times, and finally returned to Meng Xu's hands. And Meng Xu missed another shot. Seeing this situation, Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary said jokingly.

"Kobe, be steady, be steady." Kobe, who held back for a whole quarter in the first quarter, showed a strong desire to attack as soon as he came on the court in the second quarter. He completed two consecutive attacks very simply, especially in the In the second attack, Kobe forced a shot under Meng Xu's defense, completely ignoring Devin George who had already got rid of Reggie Miller behind him. Although he made two consecutive shots, Kobe was a little impatient. And ignoring the performance of his teammates still made Phil Jackson very dissatisfied.

"Meng, I don't think your luck is very good today." After Kobe made a shot, he began to "interact" with Meng Xu, ignoring Phil Jackson who was gesturing at him.The meaning of Kobe's words is obviously to satirize Meng Xu's shooting percentage today. Meng Xu made 9 of 4 shots in the first quarter. After the opening of the second quarter, he made a mid-range shot and turned twice on the basket. But it turned out. The shooting rate of 10 out of 4 shots is indeed a bit low for Meng Xu, whose shooting rate has been stable at more than 50% all year round.

"It's only just started, and only missed 6 shots. Do you dare to defend me for the next shot? I will definitely hit you." Although Meng Xu sarcastically said that the next shot will be A shot was made on Kobe's head, but Kobe didn't show the slightest displeasure, on the contrary, he was a little excited. Every time he met Meng Xu, Kobe couldn't restrain his inner feelings, and wanted to have a confrontation with Meng Xu.And Meng Xu just missed 6 shots, which resonated with Kobe even more. This is why Kobe felt that Meng Xu and himself were the same kind of people. I will continue to shoot without any hesitation or soft-handedness. If I put ordinary players on the ball, after missing several shots in a row, there will definitely be fluctuations in my heart. Some even hesitate after receiving the ball. shot.However, what Meng Xu said next almost made Kobe explode in anger.

"Kobe, don't worry, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with your record of 30 irons in a single game today."

In an away game against the Celtics this season, due to O'Neal's absence due to injury, Kobe made crazy shots in that game, and finally set a record of 47 of 17 shots, and won the NBA single with 30 irons in a single game. No. 1 on the basketball game list, and those in front of Kobe are some ancient beasts, so after that, many people called Kobe the No.30 of modern basketball.Although Kobe did not care about it when he was interviewed after the game, and even said, let alone 40 strikes, I would continue to make [-] strikes, but under the media's everywhere rendering, this matter finally It still became a small sore spot in Kobe's heart.Although he knew that Meng Xu was bringing up the old story at this time, just to provoke him on purpose, but Kobe still couldn't control his anger.

"This bastard!" Seeing Meng Xu running towards the front court quickly, Kobe followed behind and cursed bitterly. Although before this game, Kobe asked Phil Jackson to defend Meng Xu in the game. Xu, but was rejected by Phil Jackson. The reason was that Hamilton and Reggie Miller were also very important. In this series, Kobe’s defensive targets were the two of them. This also made Kobe very upset. Gua, how can I deal with Meng Xu.

Just when Kobe followed Reggie Miller closely, ran from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, and then went around the bottom line from the left side of the court to the right side of the court, Kobe heard the cheers of the audience, and looked back , The Pacers' offense is over.

In the attack just now, Meng Xu, who cut into the free throw line area, did not make any adjustments after receiving the pass from Jamal Tinsley. He just tiptoed sideways under the defense of Devin George. He made a shot, and the idiot Devin George obviously didn't realize that Meng Xu would make a shot so quickly, without even making a basic interference move, Meng Xu's shot had already hit the basket.

"This kind of shooting method is really difficult to be interfered with." After hitting the ball easily, seeing Devin George, who was getting more and more cramped under the scolding of the assistant coach, Meng Xu smiled relaxedly, Devin George His basic defensive skills are average, but his physical fitness is very good, his feet move very fast, and he is not easy to fake moves. It can be said that this is a defensive player above the average level in the NBA, but his shortcomings are also very obvious. It’s just that the linear acceleration ability is weak, and the reaction ability is also a bit slow. In the face of Meng Xu’s extremely fast shooting method, this shortcoming of Devin George is definitely very fatal, but even so, Fei on the sidelines Jackson is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and has no intention of replacing Devin George.

"Kobe, it seems that my luck is better than yours." When Meng Xu finally hit two mid-range shots in a row and heard the system notification sound in his ears, the ecstatic Meng Xu turned to his side for Kobe, who was defended by German-George, made a gesture of victory. In the Lakers' offense just now, when Kobe made a back-and-forth jumper for the third time in front of Meng Xu, perhaps the height of the jump was not enough. Or maybe it was because Kobe's basketball arc was too low, Kobe's shot was directly blocked by Meng Xu.

"I just scored two in a row. What's so exciting about it? I'll show you three in a row." Looking at Meng Xu's exaggerated expression, Kobe said with contempt on his face, and he won. In one round, I will get you excited like that, and wait until you cry.

"Two? How naive, just watch it carefully!" According to the continuous hit effect of the skill of the king of mid-range shots, as long as Meng Xu makes two consecutive mid-range shots, the continuous hit effect will be automatically activated. In this state, The probability of hitting the third ball will increase by 50%, the probability of hitting the fourth ball will increase by 40%, the probability of hitting the fifth ball will increase by 30%, and so on. The chance of 5 goals is very high. If you are lucky, it is possible to hit 6 goals or even 7 goals in a row.

"Meng Xu took off and made a mid-range shot. It was beautiful. This is the third consecutive mid-range shot for Meng Xu."

"Meng Xu broke through with the ball, successfully threw off Devin George's defense, and made a beautiful mid-range pull-up jumper."

. . . . . .

"Kobe hit again, this is his third consecutive hit, and Meng Xu has now hit five consecutive mid-range shots, which is really crazy! Kobe and Meng Xu hit each other at the beginning of the second quarter Alright!" Michaels chanted, the atmosphere at the scene became frenzied, and what could make the fans more excited than the "answer-ball" of Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant. thing!

"The probability of increasing the next goal is only 20%, but there is still great hope." After Kobe did not break his promise and matched himself for three consecutive offenses, Meng, who received a pass from Jamal Tinsley, Xu, I'm already under a bit of pressure now. Although it's only the second quarter, it doesn't matter if you miss the shot, but with the eager expectations of the fans in the audience, it's really embarrassing to miss it. matter.At the same time, after Meng Xu hit 3 goals in a row, Kobe also switched defenses with Devon George to defend Meng Xu himself. Obviously, Meng Xu's current performance has greatly stimulated Kobe.

"Oh, what a joke, Meng Xu made another shot. This is his sixth consecutive mid-range shot since the opening of the second quarter. The point difference between the two sides has now been narrowed to 2 points!"

"Meng Xu made another shot. This is his sixth consecutive shot. This kind of explosive scoring is really incredible!" After Meng Xu made another shot for the sixth time, the entire Bankers Life Arena immediately boiled Yes, the commentators of this game, Michaels, Jeff Van Gundy, and Magic Johnson, all stood up excitedly, especially Michaels, who was already a little incoherent with excitement.

"Now let's see if Kobe can fight back!" After Meng Xu hit six shots in a row, Kobe, who had hit three goals in a row, became the focus of the audience. Even the head coach of the Lakers, Phil -Jackson also stood up from the bench and walked to the sidelines.Not only at the scene, but even many viewers in front of the TV are looking forward to Kobe hitting the ball and continuing this wonderful duel between the two sides.

"Payton taught the ball directly to Kobe. With excellent defensive prediction, Meng Xu successfully blocked Kobe's breakthrough route."

"Kobe failed to break through Meng Xu's blockade. Kobe turned around forcibly and shot a 3-pointer. It's a pity that he failed to make a hit. Kobe's fourth attack was cut off."

"Meng Xu made another shot. He hit seven shots in a row. The point difference between the two sides is only two points. This is really scary. Maybe Phil Jackson needs to call a timeout, change the game strategy, and double-team Meng Xu. "

"If Meng Xu can keep this kind of touch in this game, I'm afraid the Lakers won't be able to take away a victory from here! In the next game, the Lakers need to double-team Meng Xu, and we can't let him It’s such an easy shot.”

"If the Pacers can have a point guard with better vision and passing, I'm afraid..." As a head coach, Jeff Van Gundy and Michaels have completely different concerns, although they have never liked it. Meng Xu, but at this time Jeff Van Gundy was really moved by Meng Xu's strength. If possible, Jeff Van Gundy also hopes that one day he can coach such a player.

Although the Lakers are still 2 points ahead of the Pacers so far, according to the situation on the field, the Pacers may equalize or even overtake the score at any time, so Phil Jackson on the sidelines finally couldn't sit still, and after a timeout from the official With 3 minutes left, a timeout was called in advance.

"It's really a magic skill!" Meng Xu walked off the court in the uniform voice of "MVP" from the audience, took the towel handed over by head coach Larry Bird, wiped the sweat from his head, and Satisfied whispered something.He scored 7 goals in a row. In the first game using this skill, he even scored 7 goals in a row. You must know that in Meng Xu's four-year career, except for the "pretentious moment", he has never hit 7 shots in a row Case.
