Legendary star

Chapter 553
"Meng, do you want to continue playing later?" At the end of the three quarters, after all the Pacers players were off the field, head coach Rick Carlisle handed Meng Xu a towel, and immediately stopped him and asked Meng Xu Xu needs to rest for a while.

Although the Nets launched several counterattacks in the third quarter, instead of narrowing the point difference, the Nets were able to expand the point difference to 10 points by the Pacers. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, there was a few minutes of rest, but Meng Xu had already scored 54 points after the end of the third quarter, so Rick Carlisle also wanted to ask about Meng Xu's attitude. After all, the scoring record in a single game in the playoffs is In front of the eyes, there are really few players who can withstand this kind of temptation. Although the game will not end for a whole quarter, if the Pacers come off the bench, they will bring the game into a wave. After the garbage time, with Meng Xu's current status and status, he definitely couldn't let go of his body to score points during the garbage time in order to break the record.

"Let's rest for a while." Contrary to what Rick Carlisle guessed, Meng Xu doesn't have the slightest intention to break the record now. After all, the single-game scoring record in the playoffs and finals was created by Meng Xu. Breaking through, left and right is just improving this record by a few points, and Meng Xu doesn't want to be added to the negative state of three games.

"Okay then, hurry up and rest for a few minutes first." After hearing Meng Xu's answer, Rick Carlisle made a decision, turned around and signaled assistant coach Lester Conner to arrange a substitute according to the original tactics Players come out.

Although the Nets are still 10 points behind, neither the Nets players nor the Nets fans at the scene obviously gave up. The moment the players from both sides stepped on the court, the Continental Airlines Arena rang out. Cheers, and when the Pacers' backup point guard Kenny Anderson began to drive the ball, it was replaced by waves of "defense". Cheer for the supported team.

"I don't know why, but now I am very much looking forward to the Nets being able to narrow the score or overtake the score." Watching the ongoing Pacers bench battle against the Nets' semi-main lineup, Michaels smiled and said dark thoughts in your own mind.

"Actually, I also think so now." After a burst of laughter, Magic Johnson showed a mutual smile towards Michaels beside him.Whether it is Michaels or Magic Johnson, they are all very much looking forward to witnessing a 60+ playoff game today, so these two guys have now turned into staunch supporters of the Nets, hoping that the Nets can take advantage of the Pacers During the rest period of the main lineup, Meng Xu was forced to play, and Meng Xu was able to make a playoff 60+, so today's game is perfect.

"Finally going to play." The expectations of Magic Johnson and Michaels are not in vain. After Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo are off the court for a rest, Kenyon Martin's state can be used to block and kill God In just 3 minutes, Kenyon Martin made 4 of 3 shots, scored 7 points with penalty shots, and led the Nets to a 9-4 spurt against the Pacers. , and after the point difference between the two sides was narrowed to only 5 points, Rick Carlisle quickly called a timeout and replaced the main lineup.However, what is slightly different from the starting lineup of this game is that Rick Carlisle did not send Mutombo and Reggie Miller after the timeout, but used NN Hilario and Tyshawn Prince Two men took their place.

"Hey, the Nets double-teamed Meng Xu?" After the game restarted, Michaels discovered the change in the Nets' tactics. It was different from the previous whole game when Robert Parker single-handedly defended Meng Xu. Lawrence Frank After the timeout, Richard Jefferson replaced Robert Parker to defend Meng Xu, and after Meng Xu dribbled close to the top of the arc, Jason Kidd, who was closest to Meng Xu, quickly covered him.

"This is a very wise choice!" Although after the Nets changed their defensive strategy, it was definitely impossible for Meng Xu to score as easily as in the previous game, but for Lawrence Frank's sudden change, the Magician Johnson still very much agrees.

Meng Xu, who was double-teamed, immediately passed the basketball in his hand to Tayshaun Prince on his left, while he ran towards the right side of the court, and through mutual screens with James Posey After that, Meng Xu got rid of Richard Jefferson behind him, but when the basketball appeared in Meng Xu's hands again, Kenyon Martin's supplementary defense was also in place.

Glancing at Jermaine O'Neal who was passing the ball for him, Meng Xu smiled and shook his head. Whether it was Tyshawn Prince facing Jason Kidd or Jermaine O'Neal facing Jay Sen Collins is actually a very good singles opportunity, but neither of these guys made a shot.Meng Xu is very clear that after he scored 54 points, his teammates also very much hope that Meng Xu can make persistent efforts to score a 60+, and even break his own record of 64 points in a single game.

But Meng Xu is really not interested in breaking the record now, so after Kenyon Martin's supplementary defense was in place and Richard Jefferson also started to rush towards Meng Xu, Meng Xu quickly passed the basketball to the already appeared The open James Posey, but what is very cheating is that after James Posey made a shot to attract Richard Jefferson back to the defense, he passed the basketball back to Meng Xu, and at the same time directed at Meng Xu shouted, "It's almost 20 seconds."

Glancing at the timer and seeing that the stopwatch had reached 18, Meng Xu had no choice but to give up his plan to pass the ball, and instead directly defended Kenyon Martin with the ball in a back-up single.

"1, 2, 3..." While leaning against Kenyon Martin behind him, he silently counted the number of times he turned his back, and when he counted to 3, Meng Xu Obviously feeling that there was a space behind him, after making a fake move towards the left side of the body, Meng Xu quickly completed the turn towards the right side of the body, and then threw the basketball in his hand towards the backboard.

"Beautiful! Beautiful, beautiful, it's really a textbook turnaround jumper." When Meng Xu made a turnaround jumper, the boos of the Continental Airlines Arena stopped abruptly, while Michaels in the commentary booth was He stood up directly from his seat, applauded, and said a few beautiful words.

"I really don't know how this guy's back is trained. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the guy just now was Tim Duncan of the Spurs. Apart from the difference in body shape, The rhythm of their dribble, the speed of the turn, the arc of the shot, and even the position of the board is almost exactly the same."

"Erwin, isn't this the exclusive skill of Wake Forest? Haha..."

"Is this bastard really an outsider?" Compared to Michaels and Magic Johnson who were happily discussing Meng Xu's rebound shot just now, Kenyon Martin, the victim, is obviously not happy now. Xu's strength is very strong, and Kenyon Martin knows it, but when Meng Xu used the back-up single to beat himself, and finally pushed himself back and lost his position, Kenyon Martin felt that his three views had collapsed , is this an outside line?Is this an outside line?Is this an outside line?After shouting in his heart several times in a row, Kenyon Martin had to tell himself that this fucking is an outside line, and it is also an out-of-position outside line that can use his back to top him.

"Kenyon, don't be in a daze, it's time for us to attack." Just as Kenyon Martin was still thinking over and over again the scene of Meng Xu hitting himself just now, Jason, who had already received the baseline ball from Jason Collins, Kidd yelled at Kenyon Martin who was still in a daze.

Kidd, who dribbled the ball to the front court under Meng Xu's pressure, quickly made a pick-and-roll with Kenyon Martin. After successfully forcing the Pacers to switch defenses, Kidd passed the basketball back to Kenyon Martin, because Now it is Meng Xu who is defending Kenyon Martin. No matter what the purpose is, there is always nothing wrong with Kenyon Martin playing Meng Xu in a single position.

Kenyon Martin leaning sideways on Meng Xu, after receiving Kidd's pass, quickly raised his mind to return it. Although Kenyon Martin's back-up technique is not good, but Kenyon Martin But I don't think that my back can't even hit an outside line. Even if his defense is good and he is very strong, the outside line is always the outside line. When defending an inside player who is 10 centimeters taller than himself, outside players are born is at a disadvantage.

After making up his mind, Kenyon Martin put his back against Meng Xu unceremoniously, and was going to push Meng Xu into the paint all the time, letting out a good breath of anger.

'Hey, it's so easy? "Before Kenyon Martin exerted all his strength, he felt that Meng Xu, who was sticking to him from behind, had already been pushed away by him, so Kenyon Martin instantly felt an unreal feeling After all, when Meng Xu hit him with his back just now, his strength was surprisingly good. Why is he out of position with just a slight push now?
"Since you are so unbearable, don't blame me!" Without thinking too much, Kenyon Martin quickly turned around after feeling that Meng Xu had been pushed away by him.

"What?" After turning around, Kenyon Martin realized that Meng Xu was still sticking to him very tightly. He had pushed him away just now, hadn't he?Why was he still in front of him after he turned around?
Kenyon Martin, who was originally planning to break through Meng Xu and go straight to the basket after completing his turn, had to take off very reluctantly near the free throw line to make a shot. It wasn't that Kenyon Martin didn't want to pass the ball. In fact, Kenyon Martin, who was already a little confused at this time, had completely forgotten that there was an option to pass the ball.

However, right after Kenyon Martin took off, a scene that made him regret for several days appeared. Almost at the moment Kenyon Martin took off, Meng Xu, who was close to Kenyon Martin, also jumped up and was caught. Kenyon Martin was holding the basketball high, but before he could make a shot, he was slapped hard on it by a palm.

"Boy, your post-up singles is really bad. Come and learn from me this summer. I won't charge you tuition!" Meng Xu's seemingly peaceful tone, in Kenyon Martin's view, It is undoubtedly a great irony. An outside player wants to teach himself back-up skills?It seems like a fantasy, but Kenyon Martin really doesn't know how to refute it now, because judging from the round just now, his back-up technique is really inferior to him!

"I'll go, you still come!" In the next game, Kenyon Martin had to defend Meng Xu, who played him in a post-up single, for several consecutive offenses. What about double-teaming?Where are my teammates?where are you?Come and help me, I really can't handle this pervert!

"Lawrence, what should we do?" Seeing that Meng Xu succeeded in backing up Kenyon Martin again and increased his scoring to 60 points in a single game, the assistant coach standing next to Lawrence Frank could no longer hold back , Now he has 60 points. With Meng Xu's current feel and state, if he continues to play like this, not to mention breaking the single-game scoring record of 64 points, even 70+ points are also possible, but once the Nets are desperate Double-teaming Meng Xu to prevent Meng Xu from continuing to score means that the Nets will give up the game, and such a decision cannot be made by an assistant coach.

"Alas." After hearing the boos of the audience, Lawrence Frank knew he had to make a decision. After Meng Xu scored 60 points, there were boos all over the Continental Arena. Lawrence - Frank knew very well that the booing was not for Meng Xu, but for himself. The fans who supported him and supported the Nets just now turned their backs.

Soon after Meng Xu held the ball again, the cheers on the scene also proved Lawrence Frank's guess, the skill is not as good as others, and losing the game is fine. If Meng Xu really breaks the playoff scoring record here, then It is a shame that will never be erased.

Although he was unwilling to give up, but after a fierce ideological struggle, Lawrence Frank finally nodded to the assistant coaches around him, all of them, so as to prevent him from continuing to score.

After the Nets double-teamed Meng Xu recklessly, Meng Xu kindly gave up his plan to continue scoring. Finally, with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Meng Xu took the initiative to apply for exit. Set his single-game score at 60 points.
