Chapter 487

"Larry, the current penalty on the court seems to be a bit unfavorable to us?" After the game restarted, Jamal Tinsley got rid of Payton's press through a pick-and-roll, and then handed over the basketball in his hand to Meng Xu. , but at the moment Meng Xu received the ball, the referee's whistle blew, and the referee on duty blew Jermaine O'Neal's pick-and-roll foul. At the moment of body contact, Jermaine O'Neal's left foot moved slightly because he collided with Payton who was moving at a high speed. Under normal circumstances, for such small details in the pick-and-roll, the referee on duty would I won't blow it, but now at a critical moment in the game, the referee on duty has blown Jermaine O'Neal's pick-and-roll foul, which is a very obvious signal.

"Alas!" For this situation, Larry Bird had no choice but to silently curse David Stern in his heart for having a son without an asshole. As Larry Bird, who has been in the league for many years and has many connections , Larry Bird is very clear about the many tricks in the NBA. With David Stern's peeing, he can't wait for the finals of each season to be New York VS Los Angeles, and then play enough seven games every year. Winning or losing is the only way to maximize commercial benefits. However, the Knicks are too muddy to support the wall, so they can only play tricks in the second aspect, and the referees don't have to do this kind of thing very obviously. , Only a slight change in the penalty scale is enough to change the course of a game.

"Jermaine's foul is just the beginning, and now we can only see how Meng responds on the court!" Larry Bird moved his buttocks in the gap between his words, and then crossed his arms and stared blankly. Looking at Meng Xu who was retreating.Although the referee has begun to favor the Lakers in terms of penalty scales, as long as Meng Xu responds properly, the Pacers still have a chance. After all, Meng Xu is the current No.1 in the league and also has a superstar whistle. People "wrongly boast and misjudgment", but in Meng Xu's case, he absolutely dare not do so blatantly.

"Bastard, now I want to show you what real dominance is!" O'Neal, who was about to pass the middle circle after switching offense and defense, saw Meng Xu stop near the middle circle, and O'Neal also slowed down. Like an angry lion, he stared at Meng Xu viciously, even O'Neill's clenched fists were already crackling.If it is said that when Meng Xu was in the Spurs before, O'Neal just hated him a little bit, then when the Pacers led by Meng Xu pushed O'Neal's Lakers into desperation time and time again, O'Neal can only hate Meng Xu now. to describe.

"Huh?" Meng Xu, who was staying near the middle circle and was about to help Jamal Tinsley defend Payton, felt someone staring at him, and turned his head to look at O'Neal who passed by him. Seeing O'Neill's fierce eyes, Meng Xu snorted disdainfully, then winked at O'Neill, what's the use of pretending to be so fierce?Can you still eat me?
After seeing Meng Xu's response to him, O'Neill, who was very upset with Meng Xu, became even more angry now, but Meng Xu didn't match up with O'Neill, so O'Neill could only vent all his grievances on defending himself O'Neal rushed all the way to the basket. After driving Mutombo and occupying a very favorable offensive position, he immediately received a pass from Payton. After a period of rest, O'Neal, whose physical strength has gradually recovered, used an extremely fast back turn to wipe out Mutombo in this attack, and then followed Mutombo to catch up with a dunk. Mutombo's defensive foul was caused.

Under such a violent attack by O'Neal, the entire Staples boiled instantly, especially when O'Neal walked to the free throw line, Staples even chanted "mvp" uniformly.

An angry O'Neal, especially O'Neal who has regained his physical fitness, faced the two insiders of the Pacers, whether it was Mutombo or Jermaine O'Neal, they all asked for anything, Mutombo and Jay Maine-O'Neal can't stand up to O'Neal at all in a one-on-one situation. For many teams, double-teaming may not be able to stop O'Neal, let alone the Pacers. As he grows older, O'Neal's weight is getting heavier and his physical strength is getting weaker and weaker. As far as the Pacers' current defensive strength is concerned, O'Neal has no problem at all with 40+ games.

"Larry, don't you really want to double-team O'Neal?" Looking at O'Neal who was constantly raging on the field, Lester Conor was already sweating anxiously. The Pacers' single defense was hard to restrain O'Neal, and now that the referees are biased, O'Neal is even more unstoppable.

"Leicester, come out and mix, the first thing is to do what you say, since we said before the game that we will not double-team, then we will not double-team the entire series, no matter what the situation is, understand Is it?" Looking at the anxious Lester Conor, Larry Bird said with a serious face, and after he finished speaking, he laughed twice: "Besides, every time we double-team O'Neal, I'm going to lose $10000 to that GOU mother, which is not a small amount, if you are willing to bear the money, I don't mind letting Jermaine and DiBacon start double-teaming O'Neal."

"Well..." Hearing Larry Bird's words, and seeing Larry Bird's serious expression after he finished speaking, Lester Conor didn't know how to pick up Larry Bird. Germany's words stubble.

"Keep watching the game! Now we can only pray that God is on our side!" Seeing Lester Conor's embarrassed expression, Larry Bird patted him on the shoulder with a smile.In fact, Larry Bird is also very worried now. From the beginning of the fourth quarter, Larry Bird has been unable to let go of his high-hanging heart, but worrying now has no effect, just like Phil Jackson often said , Believe in your players and believe that they can solve all problems on the court.

"The Lakers overtook the score!" With the burst of cheers from the fans at the scene, O'Neal turned around and dunked against Mutombo again. After O'Neal scored this goal, the Lakers overtook the Pacers by 1 point. And O'Neal once again caused Mutombo's foul.

"Mutombo has already fouled five times. The Pacers will not be able to play in the next game!" Jeff Van Gundy has a very thorough understanding of the situation on the court and the referee's penalty scale. Since David - Stern has already made a shot, so the Pacers may be in danger in this game.

"What are you all looking at me for?" After O'Neal made a free throw, the referee blew the whistle for the official timeout of the fourth quarter. Meng Xu found that all the Pacers players, even head coach Larry Bird and assistant coach Lester Conor were staring at him, as if waiting for his instructions.

Looking at his teammates around him, feeling the anticipation in their eyes, Meng Xu felt his heart beat faster at this moment, and there seemed to be a burning flame in his chest, and it quickly spread to the whole body, covering Meng Xu's entire body. Everyone became hot. Meng Xu knew that at this moment, not only the teammates around him, there must also be many Pacers fans in front of the TV. His own fans were looking at him with the same eyes. They are all looking forward to themselves, once again like a god descending to earth, to save their team.

"Victory!" Looking at the eyes of his teammates around him, Meng Xu waved his arms and let out a roar, and soon the surrounding Pacers players waved their arms and followed Meng Xu's call. Xu roared loudly together.

"The morale of the Pacers looks very high!" For a while, the audience around the Pacers bench turned their attention to this group of passionate players, and Michaels, who was not far away from the commentary, heard After roaring from the Pacers bench, he also said something with great interest.Today's game looks more and more exciting.

"Meng, I believe you will never lose to O'Neal or Kobe, and you can lead the team to the final victory!" After the simple arrangement, Larry Bird stopped Meng who was about to play again. Xu, at the last moment of this kind of game, when the players on both sides have already played red eyes, and the referee's judgment is obviously biased, as the head coach Larry Bird, it is already difficult to provide for the team. What helped, but Larry Bird is clear that only Meng Xu can save the Pacers now.

"I see, Larry!" Looking at Larry Bird, Meng Xu nodded towards him, and said lightly, the next is his own time, although his big move, in the second game It has already been used, but Meng Xu is also confident now that with his current strength, it is enough to lead the team out of the predicament.

"Kobe, you don't think you can guard me alone, do you?" Meng Xu, who was about to attack with the ball after returning to the court, found that the Lakers no longer double-teamed him, but let Kobe defend him alone again. up.

"If you can't prevent it, you have to try it to know!" Facing Meng Xu's provocation, Kobe also pushed back very bluntly. After deciding to put aside the so-called "grievance" between him and O'Neal, Kobe is There is only one thought, and that is to help the Lakers win. Only by winning today's game can the Lakers have hope for the championship. As long as the team can win, even if they put most of their energy on the defensive end, it is worth it .

"Then come on!" After hearing Kobe's words, Meng Xu immediately exerted his greatest strength and slammed behind him fiercely. A half-turn on the right side, and then halfway through the half-turn, he pulled his body back and turned to the left.Because Meng Xu knows that against most of the defenders in the league, he can get rid of their defense by pushing him out of position and turning his back. However, when dealing with Kobe, this kind of escape may not be effective. What Xu needs now is a [-]% success rate, so Meng Xu uses a back turn method that consumes more energy and is more difficult to defend.

"Meng Xu finally started to attack with the ball. I have to say that when Kobe defended Meng Xu, he was much better than Payton, Robert Hawley, and Devin George. Meng Xu only relied on his own fake moves and Footsteps, it is still difficult to get rid of Kobe's defense, but compared with them, Kobe has insufficient strength and height when facing Meng Xu."

"Ervin, he can keep up with Meng Xu in terms of footwork and defensive awareness, and his strength and height are no worse than Meng Xu's. Do you think such a player really exists in the current league?"

While Magic Johnson and Michaels were still discussing who was more effective in defending Meng Xu, Meng Xu had already got rid of Kobe's defense and rushed towards the Lakers' paint area.Although Meng Xu can now take a 3-point shot after getting rid of Kobe's defense, but when the point difference between the two sides is not too big, Meng Xu still wants to use a more secure layup or mid-range shot. It is even better if the product bursts and the continuous hit effect is activated.

"Boy, this time I won't let you shoot in front of me so easily." After Meng Xu got rid of Kobe and rushed towards the paint area, Malone, who was defending Jermaine O'Neal, gave up immediately His own defender rushed over to defend Kobe. With the experience in the previous games, Ma Long became more determined when defending, and Ma Long no longer considered what would happen if Meng Xu got rid of him. The problem, the only thought now is to block Meng Xu, block Meng Xu's shot, even if he gets rid of himself and continues to break in, there will still be O'Neal sitting behind him.

Although Ma Long's height is considered short among power forwards, Ma Long is still a big man with a height of 2 meters. As long as Ma Long stands in his position in advance, for most outside players, he will see an insurmountable wall of flesh, but Meng Xu's current CIC method is doomed that these muscular men on the inside will have no advantage at all when defending Meng Xu's CIC, because Meng Xu's CIC's shot speed is too fast, and Meng Xu's step-back The pull-up jumper is completely two extremes.

And this time is the same, seeing Malone rushing towards him, and at the same time, O'Neal under the basket also shifted his gaze to him, Meng Xu slowed down on purpose, and when he was more than one meter away from Malone , immediately stopped his footsteps, made an emergency stop, and just as his feet jumped up, the basketball was already out of his hands.
