Chapter 573 Another Enmity
"Tang, what should we do now?" Avery, who was standing next to Old Nelson, winked at Old Nelson after seeing Meng Xu hit another three-pointer at the position where he made the shot just now. -Johnson frowned and asked Old Nelson about his next plan.

Looking up at the scoreboard not far away, rubbing his hands together again and again, old Nelson finally said after a long time: "Don't change, I'm waiting."

After the Mavericks changed their defensive tactics against Meng Xu, Meng Xu used two consecutive three-pointers to wipe out all old Nelson's previous ideas. However, old Nelson still had a little luck in his heart at this moment. The success rate of the method is comparable to that of the basket, and the biggest flaw of outside shooting is instability. Even Meng Xu has an embarrassing shooting rate of 3 of 8 three-pointers. middle.

Another point is also the main reason for old Nelson's hesitation. Since they called 5 timeouts in the first half, the Mavericks now only have two timeouts, one long and one short. If they call a timeout now, then wait In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks will most likely face a situation where there is no timeout available, and 5 minutes have passed since the fourth quarter, and at most one more round is the official timeout time, so Old Nelson didn't want to waste a timeout easily.In addition, although Meng Xu scored two three-pointers in a row, the Mavericks are still leading the Pacers by three points. As long as the next attack can be scored, the point difference between the two sides will be pulled to 5 points again.

"I'm going, is this starting to delay time?" In the transition of offense and defense, Steve Nash stopped in the middle of the middle circle and the top of the arc after dribbling the ball through the half court, while slapping the basketball on the spot, while facing The teammates made various gestures. It was obvious that Steve Nash had received the old Nelson's instructions and was going to delay this round for a while, or maybe he wanted to use this method to interrupt Meng Xu's hand feeling?
Although Steve Nash's defense is poor, as a point guard, Nash is still very good in ball control, organization, and overall situation. He is still a calm point guard, so at this time, Meng Xu did not rush forward to press Nash, but took a defensive posture one meter away from Nash, keeping his eyes on Nash's every move. Nash's position is almost 3 meters away from the three-point line, so Meng Xu is not worried that Nash will shoot there.

"Finally moved." After dribbling the ball on the spot for about 10 seconds, Nash finally moved. First he made a fake move to the left, and then Nash decisively started towards the right side of his body, but Nash's fake action did not fool Meng Xu.

Perhaps Nash didn't expect to be able to deceive Meng Xu with fake moves, because after Nash started to move, Dirk Nowitzki, who was standing near the free throw line, quickly pulled up, and when Meng Xu turned around and posted After Nash, Dirk Nowitzki has pulled out the three-point line. Nash's ultimate goal is still the pick-and-roll. Since Dirk Nowitzki's shooting range has covered beyond the three-point line, he has been playing for many consecutive seasons. They all maintain a three-point shooting rate of more than 35%, so Dirk Nowitzki often pulls beyond the three-point line when performing a pick-and-roll with Nash, and it may be a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll with Nash.

But this time, Dirk Nowitzki obviously didn't have such an opportunity. After the pick-and-roll was over, Steve Nash accelerated and changed direction, and got rid of Jermaine O'Neal, who was changing defenses, and went directly to In the last attack, Steve Nash used this method to score a layup, and this situation is even more favorable than the last one, because the only thing that can cause damage to Steve Nash The threatening Mutombo has been firmly stuck by Sean Bradley.

"To suffer!" After finishing the pick-and-roll with Nash, Nowitzki began to move towards the free throw line after seeing Nash cut straight to the basket, but just after Nowitzki's body began to move, Nowitzki saw a familiar figure passing by him, chasing after the accelerating Nash, and Nowitzki felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.

After a short sprint, Nash, who was already very close to the basket, began to slow down. A very light change of direction swayed past Mutombo who was in a hurry to defend. Nash lightly tapped his feet and turned the basketball in his hand towards Throwing at the basket, this kind of unguarded small throw is basically sure for Nash, so Nash, who has landed early, opened his arms and rushed towards the press box behind the basket with a relaxed face. , where a dozen cameras were staring at him, there was no doubt that Nash had already started celebrating early.

Although Meng Xu always looked harmless to humans and animals, and showed a very sunny smile from time to time, but Meng Xu looked different on the court, with a flamboyant personality and domineering style of play. It's one of the reasons why Nash doesn't like Meng Xu.And the behavior that Nash hates the most is Meng Xu's celebratory action and telling his defenders in advance where he is going to shoot. After Meng Xu used such behavior to provoke old Nelson just now, Nash couldn't bear it even more. Therefore, in this attack, Nash also wanted to imitate Meng Xu's classic moves, and come to treat him in his own way. , Thinking of this, Nash couldn't help getting excited, and finally he could embarrass that bastard.

However, with the sound of "bang" behind him, and the burst of cheers in the Bankers Arena, Nash instantly understood that he had made a fool of himself this time, and that his layup that was a surefire layup was probably screwed up.

Turning around and looking, the basketball thrown to the basket by himself had appeared in Meng Xu's hands at some point. Amid the deafening cheers, Nash didn't hear what Meng Xu yelled clearly, but saw the single Meng Xu, holding the basketball in his hand, threw it viciously towards the Mavericks' half court, and the Pacers' number 22, who was as thin as bean sprouts, ran all the way to the Mavericks' penalty area and picked up Meng Xu. After the pass, there was a big windmill dunk. After the dunk was completed, the bean sprouts raised his hands with an arrogant and hateful expression on his face.

"Beautiful! Really beautiful!" In the box in the distance, Herb Simon, who was smoking a cigar, threw away the cigar in excitement, jumped up from the sofa, and shouted while dancing, with facial expressions It's very exaggerated, [-]% of them are deliberately angry with Mark Cuban.

'waste! "Just now I called out beautiful Mark Cuban for Nash's series of actions. Before I had time to applaud Nash's layup, I saw Meng Xu chasing behind Nash. Nash's layup also took advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack. After Tyshawn Prince scored a fast break, the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

Nash, who was still excited just now, fell into a low mood in an instant, and what made Nash even more embarrassed was that when Nash walked toward the Mavericks' half court with a dark face, he said to Meng Xu who was next to him with a wicked smile. He said: "Steve, in the future, you must wait for the ball to score and celebrate for layups. By the way, you should also look behind you. Don't look like today."

"Bastard." Ignoring Meng Xu's provocation and ridicule, Nash quickened his pace and retreated towards the backcourt, but Meng Xu found Nash's clenched fists. If the cheers were a little quieter now, Meng Xu might still be able to hear them. To the sound of Nash gnashing his teeth.
