Chapter 56 Meng Xu Can Fly?
"Oh, God, Meng can jump so high." McBrand opened his mouth wide as he watched Meng Xu jumping high in front of Reggie Miller on the basketball court.

In the previous round, Reggie Miller took Meng Xu for a big circle along the sideline of the front court. When he returned to the left 3-point line at 45 degrees, Miller received a pass from Jaylen Rose. When Miller was about to shoot Meng Xu like he did in the previous game, he found that Meng Xu, who could only close his eyes in the previous game, jumped up high and took pictures of the basketball he threw into the audience .

Reggie Miller, who fell from the sky, looked at Meng Xu in surprise. Meng Xu just jumped too high. If I remember correctly, in the previous competition, the two jumped at the same time. Meng Xu's height He was half a head lower than himself, and often fell before himself. This was one of the main reasons why Miller was able to take the shot calmly. This time, Meng Xu's height was more than half a head higher than his own, and He had already fallen, and this guy was still floating in the air. After barely making a shot, he was hit by a solid big hat. .

"Ah." After successfully blocking Reggie Miller, Meng Xu yelled loudly at the audience twice, venting all the grievances in the previous game.

"Beautiful block, is Meng's bounce so good? Isn't his physical fitness worse than Larry Bird? How can he jump so high." Michaels in the commentary was also shocked.

"Greg, it's incredible. When did Meng have such an excellent jumping ability." After seeing Meng Xu's excellent jumping in this defense just now, Mike Budenholzer also lost his composure.

"It seems that we still underestimated Meng's potential." In the previous physical test and the first half of the season, Meng Xu's bounce and strength were really mediocre, which directly affected Popovich's understanding of Meng Xu's upper limit. Evaluate.As for the block shot just now, Meng Xu's jumping ability was obviously stronger than before by more than one grade. Is this guy hiding his strength?As a very rational person, Popovich doesn't believe in epiphany or anything. In Popovich's view, this time it was either an accident, or this guy deliberately concealed his strength in the previous game.

If it's the former, there's nothing wrong with all of this. If it's the latter, what is his purpose for doing this?Popovich stroked his thinning hair and stared at Meng Xu on the court.

"What an interesting little guy." On the Pacers' bench, Larry Bird, who was used to seeing rough waves, seemed very calm at the moment.Larry Bird has only one thought in mind now, and that is how to deal with the Spurs' twin towers. The situation in the entire Eastern Conference this season is very favorable to the Pacers. The Pacers have several main competitors in the Eastern Conference. After the black eight of the season, the state of this season is not as good as before. The head star of the New York Knicks, Patrick Ewing, is one year older, and both his body and his state have declined sharply.As for the Pacers this season, the running-in between the players has reached the best state, and Larry Bird has also successfully found a way for Reggie Miller and Jaylen Rose to coexist.

If nothing else, the Pacers have a great hope of breaking out from the Eastern Conference and reaching the finals, and the opponent in the finals is likely to be one between the Spurs and the Lakers. The Spurs are playing the twin towers and a combination of inside and outside. Tactics, although the Lakers claim to be a triangle tactic, but compared to the triangle offense of the Bulls, it is still not so interesting.Therefore, from the beginning of this season, Larry Bird began to look for ways to deal with these two teams. Therefore, in the regular season, Larry Bird did not take the victory or defeat of the two teams into consideration. Experiment with various tactics and find ways to beat these two teams.

"Rookie, as someone who has experienced it, I need to teach you some life experience. Young people should not be too arrogant, otherwise it will be easy to come in standing up and go out lying down." The block just now also made Reggie Miller very angry. Although it is normal for a player to be blocked, but with Miller's current status in the league, being taken by a rookie also makes Miller's old face a little uncomfortable.

That's why Miller was determined to find his way back. Just after halftime, Miller posted up on Meng Xu, and placed his hands dishonestly on Meng Xu's waist.

Just when Reggie Miller was about to make a move, Meng Xu shook off Reggie Miller and ran towards the corner.As the player with the highest 3-point shooting percentage and the most 3-point shooting per game on the Spurs this season, Meng Xu is completely an outside shooter in the Spurs' offensive tactics. His task is to get rid of the defenders. Run out of space and wait for a pass from a teammate.

As soon as Meng Xu ran to the bottom corner, Reggie Miller followed up like a ghost. Before Duncan passed the ball, he blocked Meng Xu's receiving route, and he was still babbling nonsense.

"No wonder Jordan boxed you." Meng Xu himself is a guy who likes to bicker with others, but when he met Reggie Miller today, Meng Xu realized that he was still too young and too amateur. An old ball ruffian with a thick skin and no lethality at all.Instead, she was a little upset by Miller's harassment.

Jordan boxing Reggie Miller is also a well-known anecdote in the league. Jordan's trash talk is also at the top level in the league, but compared with Miller, Jordan has to bow down. On February 1993, 2, in the game between the Bulls and the Pacers, in the matchup with Jordan, Reggie Miller made small moves and trash-talked, and Jordan was furious. Beat up Reggie Miller, but the referee on duty kicked Miller out instead, so Miller has always been worried about that game. This is also Jordan's performance, and Miller doesn't even look down on Jordan. reason.

"Asshole." Hearing what Meng Xu said, Miller immediately became furious.

And Meng Xu took this opportunity to run directly along the baseline to the other side of the court, while Reggie Miller who was following behind was blocked by David Robinson, and Meng Xu, who was unguarded, immediately received a pass from his teammates The ball, after one step of dribbling, Meng Xu ran beyond the 3-point line, turned around, and Meng Xu jumped up.

After getting rid of David Robinson, Miller chased after him again. Seeing Meng Xu who had already jumped, Miller jumped up without hesitation, but Miller who jumped up found that he couldn't reach Meng Xu's hands at all. basketball.He doesn't have an advantage in height and wingspan, and the opponent jumps higher than himself, and his shooting posture is backward, which is a bit embarrassing.
