Chapter 574 The First Step of the Dynasty

"This, this, this... can still hit!"

Seeing that under the defense of Antoine Walker and Michael Finley, at a place more than one meter away from the three-point line, he directly feinted, and then took a very simple step back and jumped up directly. Meng Xu, who made a three-pointer, and Old Nelson, who was standing on the sidelines, had only one feeling at the moment, that was that a dagger had been stabbed in the heart.

During the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks still had a 1-point lead. Nelson originally hoped that the official timeout would disrupt Meng Xu's hand feeling, but in less than 40 seconds after the official timeout, Meng Xu He hit two consecutive 3-pointers again, helping the Pacers overtake the score. Feeling that something was wrong, the old Nelson quickly called a timeout, and arranged for Michael Finley and Antoine Walker to double-team Meng Xu.

But Nelson's arrangement still didn't help. Meng Xu, who passed the ball when he was double-teamed for most of the game, seemed to have recovered his "cancer" true colors. Antoine Walker and Michael Finn Under the double-teaming of Lee, he still had no scruples. He used his stunt to step back and pull up jumpers, and shot more than one meter from the three-point line again and again. Although Antoine-Walker and Michael- Under Finley's interference, Meng Xu's shooting rate dropped a little. He lost the accuracy he had achieved in the first few minutes, but the three-point shooting rate of 5 of 3 shots can also be described as hot. In addition, Meng Xu For the four 3-pointers hit before and after the official timeout, in less than 5 minutes, Meng Xu took 9 shots and hit 7 [-]-pointers. Such a powerful scoring explosive power can no longer be described as horror.

"Strong, it's really too strong, Meng Xu's scoring explosive power is too strong, as long as he wants to score, he can't stop him!"

When Meng Xu made another three-pointer under the double-team of Michael Finley and Antoine Walker, amidst the deafening cheers at the Bankers Life Arena, Michaels on the commentary stood up directly, Applause, one side roared loudly.Today's game, from the start of the game to the first 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, belonged to the head coaches of both sides, Rick Carlisle and Nelson. But since then, this game has become a stage for Meng Xu to perform alone. No matter how old Nelson changes and arranges, even using the only two timeouts left by the Mavericks in advance, there is no way to stop Meng Xu's scoring performance. Meng Xu, who only scored 40 points in the first 10 minutes of the game, scored 5 points on 9 of 7 shots in less than 21 minutes.

"It seems that Tang still somewhat underestimated Meng Xu's scoring ability." Compared with the already excited Michaels, Magic Johnson was a little calmer. As an expert, after watching this game, Magic Johnson I knew the old Nelson's plan in this game clearly. He used high-intensity double-team defense to make Meng Xu unable to find his shooting touch, and then relaxed his defense against Meng Xu at the last moment of the game. Meng Xu went to score. Under normal circumstances, Meng Xu would definitely need time to find the touch, but at this time, there is no time for Meng Xu to find the touch, and the Pacers will definitely have to wait until Meng Xu does not feel good. In this case, Meng Xu's mentality may be affected by the result of this game, causing Meng Xu to perform abnormally in the following games. I have to say that the old Nelson's plan is really good. To be an ordinary player and team would definitely follow the old Nelson's way, but this time the old Nelson obviously miscalculated, because the target he was going to hunt today was Meng Xu.

After the old Nelson's wishful thinking miscalculated, all the pressure is now on the side of the Mavericks. The score is behind and there is no timeout. In addition, because the blockade of Meng Xu has always been ineffective, the current Mavericks should not talk about a reversal. The situation on the Internet would be very good if it didn't collapse suddenly.

"Steve! Dirk!" After it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, Old Nelson yelled loudly at Steve Nash who was dribbling and Dirk Nowitzki who was trotting towards the frontcourt. At the same time, he made a gesture that only the Mavericks players could understand. The old Nelson, who has no timeout, can only use this method to make changes to the commanding team, although the Mavericks are now 7 behind to the Pacers The points were divided, but there were still nearly 3 minutes before the end of the game, so the old Nelson was still unwilling to give up.

After nodding at the old Nelson, Nash immediately speeded up. In a very short period of time, Nash and Nowitzki completed the pick-and-roll, and ran horizontally towards the right side of the court with Jermaine O'Neal, who had changed his defense. After taking two steps, he passed the basketball in his hand to Nowitzki at the top of the arc, and he ran directly towards the bottom corner on the right.

While Nowitzki singled out Meng Xu with the ball, the rest of the Mavericks players, except for Sean Bradley, were all outside the three-point line. I want to use three-point tactics to grab points.

As a big man with a height of more than 2 meters, Nowitzki also has a very good three-point shot. He has participated in the All-Star Three-Point Contest for many years. Although he has not yet won the championship, he has also achieved very good results. Taking a shot from the three-point line after the pick-and-roll with Nash is also one of the offensive tactics developed by the Mavericks for Nowitzki. It’s just that after entering the playoffs, for some reason, Nowitzki is rarely in the three-point line. Shot outside the line.But this time, Nowitzki, who received instructions from the head coach, jumped up after taking a look at Meng Xu who was defending him in front of him.

As a white player with not very outstanding physical fitness, Nowitzki can't compare with Jermaine O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and other jumpers in terms of jumping. In addition, because of Meng Xu's Because the height difference between Nowitzki and Nowitzki is too large, so this time, Nowitzki tried to save some energy and did not try his best to jump to the highest point, but soon, Nowitzki regretted it. Why? I didn't jump a little higher just now.

Just when Nowitzki was jumping, making a shooting posture, and was about to throw the basketball in his hand, he saw Meng Xu in front of him, stretching his hands and rubbing it, and jumped up. The speed is extremely fast, and Meng Xu's height after take-off is half a head higher than Nowitzki's. Nowitzki, who has already felt something bad, has not had time to throw the basketball in his hand. There was a sharp pain.

"Beautiful blocking, Meng Xu's bounce, judgment and aerial confrontation are too strong. It is really hard to imagine that Meng Xu successfully blocked Dirk Nowitzki's jumper!"

Covering the basketball in Nowitzki's hand, after landing, Meng Xu ran towards the Mavericks' half court, bent down, pointed his finger, and the basketball that was still rolling on the ground bounced into the air without slowing down at all. Xu picked up the basketball that was on the ground.

When Meng Xu ended the counterattack with a 180-degree backhand dunk, the entire Bankers Life Arena immediately fell into a frenzy.

"The Mavericks have no chance!" Looking at Dirk Nowitzki, who looked frustrated after being blocked by Meng Xu, and Sean Bradley, who was standing in the backcourt with his hands on his hips, and biting Michael Finley with his lips on his lips, Magic Johnson knew that the Mavericks had no chance of reversing this game.

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at 108 to 117. The Pacers won the first game of the finals with a 9-point advantage, and took a solid first step on their way to the dynasty.
