Chapter 552 Playoff scoring record?
"Meng feels very good today. I don't know if the Nets will change their defensive strategy against him in the second half." Sen Collins, Kenyon Martin, and Lorenzen White, the inside combination composed of these three people, successfully suppressed Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo, but there were gains and losses, and the Nets withdrew The direct result of playing an outside line and strengthening the inside line is that the outside line defense is greatly weakened, especially Meng Xu, who was taken care of in the previous two games, not only did not get double-teamed today, even the players defending Meng Xu were also taken care of. All-around small forward Richard Jefferson was replaced by Robert Parker, a point guard who could not restrain Meng Xu, so Meng Xu maintained a very high score throughout the first half of today's game. Scoring efficiency.

"It seems that Meng Xu may really set a new scoring record in the playoffs today!" After halftime, he looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and then at Lawrence Frank who had entered the player tunnel. Si was really surprised. Michaels never doubted Meng Xu's scoring ability. Therefore, Michaels had been prepared for Meng Xu's 36 points in the half.But what surprised Michaels was Lawrence Frank's stubbornness in tactics. Generally speaking, as a head coach, when the opponent's core players have always maintained a very high scoring efficiency on the field, they will definitely be against him. The team's defensive strategy was adjusted, but Lawrence Frank remained indifferent throughout the first half, allowing Meng Xu to score continuously, but he did not adjust the defensive strategy against Meng Xu. At most, when Meng Xu scored consecutively, he was called A pause to interrupt Meng Xu's touch.

However, due to the excellent defense of the Nets against other Pacers players, although Meng Xu made 26 of 14 shots and scored 36 points in the first half, the Nets were not too far behind. The gap is still acceptable for the Nets.

I have to say that the Nets, who have no way out, performed beyond imagination in today's game. Kenyon Martin, who was abused by the Pacers' two insiders in the previous two games, finally showed his strength today. With the strength of an All-Star, with Jason Collins and Lorenzen White to help resist Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo, Kenyon Martin's performance finally improved, 14 in the half The data of 6 rebounds, compared to the previous two games, is simply a world of difference.In addition to Kenyon Martin, the head player of the Nets, Jason Kidd, also changed his style in the previous two games in today's game. He took 14 shots in the first half alone. On the low side, but Jason Kidd still made 14 of 6 shots and scored a Nets team-high 15 points.

At the same time, because the two main players, Richard Jefferson and Corey Kiddles, were placed on the bench, compared to the previous two games, the strength of the Nets' bench lineup has directly improved by a level. For the first time in today's game, the Nets' bench lineup was comparable to that of the Pacers.

"I don't believe you can maintain such a high shooting percentage in the second half." Lawrence Frank, who had already walked to the end of the player tunnel, seemed to feel something, turned his head and glanced at Meng Xu who was walking and chatting with his teammates, and then Said something to himself.

Lawrence Frank has now made up his mind, will not change his defensive strategy in the second half, or will he send three insiders, and then let Jason Kidd face Reggie Miller, as for Meng Xu?Lawrence Frank doesn't believe that Meng Xu can maintain a very good touch throughout the game, and once his offensive success rate drops, his team will inevitably take advantage of the situation to overtake the game and finally win today's game.

Taking another glance at Meng Xu, who looked relaxed and calm, Lawrence Frank's heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought arose. What about the feel?What if Meng Xu scored 60+ or ​​even 70+ in the Continental Airlines Arena?
"No, definitely not!" Thinking of this, Lawrence Frank gritted his teeth and said a few words, while encouraging himself, while strengthening his own ideas and strategies.

"Everyone performed very well in the first half, and we will continue to do so in the second half. As long as we can continue to stick to the strategy of the first half, we will be able to get back the score, and the final victory of this game will belong to us." After the whole team returned to the locker room, Lawrence Frank immediately clapped his hands a few times and praised the team's performance in the first half.

Although at the end of the half, the Nets were 3 points behind, but for Lawrence Frank, his tactics in this game were undoubtedly successful. He used Robert Parker to consume Meng Xu, and then let Jason- Kidd went to face the old Reggie Miller, and at the same time took advantage of the team's advantage in the number of insiders, allowing Kenyon Martin to single James Posey. Lawrence Frank's pre-match arrangements all became reality. Therefore, under such circumstances, Lawrence Frank asked the team to still follow the tactics of the first half step by step.

"Victory, victory, victory..." Perhaps the team's outstanding performance in the first half successfully stimulated the confidence and fighting spirit of the Nets, so after Lawrence Frank's voice fell, the Nets' The declaration of victory sounded in the locker room.

"The Nets have not adjusted the personnel of the team."

"Looks like Lawrence Frank was very happy with the team's performance in the first half."

"It seems so, but in this critical third quarter, it's hard to say whether the Nets can maintain the performance and game rhythm of the first half." Michaels and Magic Johnson found that the change they guessed did not appear, and the Nets still sent a lineup of three insiders. However, Michaels also expressed his concerns. The field is pressing, so with the current staffing of the Nets, whether they can withstand the pressure of the Pacers is really a big question.

"Judging from the Pacers' current lineup, they should not press the Nets in the third quarter." After listening to Michaels' words, Magic Johnson shook his head. If the Nets press the entire court, then Rick Carlisle will definitely not send Reggie Miller on the court. With Reggie Miller's current physical condition, it is impossible to complete the match against Jason Kidd or Robert - Pike's tight end.

"Is this kid a perpetual motion machine?" As the third quarter progressed, when Meng Xu still maintained a good shooting percentage and made shots again and again, Lawrence Frank on the sidelines still worked hard to maintain He was calm, but the trembling fingers had already betrayed him. Lawrence Frank expected that Meng Xu's physical strength would be exhausted, and then the scene of the decline in hand feeling did not appear. What frightened Lawrence Frank the most was Meng Xu's physical condition. , this guy took 26 shots in the first half, and he took 10 more shots so far in the third quarter, but Meng Xu didn't seem to be exhausted. The appearance of not panicking or panting makes people worry and fear.

"51 points, 51 points!" After Meng Xu hit another three-pointer at the 10th minute of the third quarter, Meng Xu's total score in this game reached 51 points. And Michaels, who has always been concerned about how many points Meng Xu will score in this game, immediately burst into ecstasy after seeing Meng Xu score more than 50 points. He already scored 51 points in less than three quarters, so 60 Will the score be far?
"It seems that in today's game, Meng Xu is really likely to break the scoring record he created in the playoffs!" Looking at the excited Michaels, Magic Johnson also nodded with a smile. Magic Johnson really hopes that Meng Xu Those who can break the scoring records in the playoffs and finals created by themselves, after all, if this record is not broken for a day, the Lakers will always be hung on the pillar of shame.
