Legendary star

Chapter 584
"Did Meng Xu take the wrong script today?" Watching Meng Xu break through to the basket again, after attracting the Mavericks' flanking attack, he passed the basketball to the outside again, and James Posey, who received the pass from Meng Xu, Missed a three-pointer. After passing the ball, Meng Xu, who was still under the basket, overwhelmed Sean Bradley and grabbed an offensive rebound. Michaels in the commentary was almost speechless. The Pacers and the Mavericks are playing extremely fiercely now. You take the lead and I take the lead alternately. However, Meng Xu, the core and top scorer of the Pacers, has no sense of standing up and scoring. Instead, he is obsessed with the frontcourt The rebounds can't help themselves. Before the half-time game is over, they have already grabbed nearly 10 offensive rebounds. If Meng Xu's skin and face were not really recognizable, Michaels would even doubt whether it was Jermaine O'Neal Or Mutombo is wearing the wrong jersey.

"This kid, do you think..." Unlike Michaels, who was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, Magic Johnson has already seen some clues, but Magic Johnson did not say it out, but whispered Sighed, the pressure the Mavericks put on the Pacers is still too little. If it were the Lakers in the previous two finals, this kid would definitely not, and would not dare to do this. This is the finals, and it is still In such a crucial game, Meng Xu, and the guy who snatched the No.1 scepter from him back then, dared to be so unscrupulous in the finals.

"Today's game is really incredible!" With the sound of the whistle, the first half of the game was all over, 49 to 48, relying on Dirk Nowitzki's buzzer jumper at the last moment , At the end of the first half, the Mavericks overtook the Pacers again and ended the first half with a 1-point lead.

"Yes, the Mavericks played on par with the Pacers in the away game, especially Dirk Nowitzki's performance today, Tyshawn Prince, James Posey, Jermaine O'Neal, Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points in the first half with the Pacers' three defenders taking turns defending him!"

Today's game can be said to be an inseparable game between the two sides in the entire series. Although the current score of the two sides is 3 to 2, most people can see that the Mavericks are in the middle of the game. The overall strength and control of the situation are obviously inferior to the Pacers. If it weren't for the league's black-box operations, the Mavericks would have been swept out. In the first three games of the series, the Pacers were suppressing almost from beginning to end. The Mavericks played against the Mavericks, and in the next two games, subject to the foul crisis, the Pacers failed to show their true strength. Basically, they fell behind at the beginning of the game. Within 5 minutes.But today's game is different from the previous five games, especially in the second quarter of the two sides. The Pacers and Mavericks took the lead alternately. The point difference was always kept within 3 points, and no one could completely control it. In the situation on the court, both sides are always in an evenly matched position.

On the side of the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki's hands are hot today, and he can hit all kinds of difficult fadeaway jumpers. No matter who the defender in front of him is, as long as he catches the basketball, then the defenders The players can only look at the ball and sigh.

As for the Pacers, although Meng Xu made a lot more breakthroughs, most of Meng Xu's breakthroughs ended in points. The stats of 12 points and 6 assists at the end of the first half are not bad for Meng Xu. It can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but Meng Xu grabbed 14 rebounds in the first half today, of which only the offensive rebounds reached an astonishing 9, and the 9 offensive rebounds in the half game are also the most since the NBA entered modern times. The highest record in the finals, and before he knew it, Meng Xu broke another not-so-not-so-small record.

"Meng, after the start of the second half, the Mavericks will definitely relax their defense against you, so it's time for you to strengthen your personal offense." Before everyone entered the locker room, Rick Carlisle grabbed Meng Xu, Holding the tactical board, he arranged the tactics for the second half to him. Since the Larry Bird era, Meng Xu has always had a very high degree of freedom in the Pacers' tactical system. Basically, he plays how he feels comfortable. Play as you like, and after Rick Carlisle took office, although he adjusted the team's tactics to a certain extent, in order to gain the support of Meng Xu, he quickly gained a foothold in the Pacers. His attitude is basically on par with Larry Bird's. Unless the team really reaches a point where it can't be changed, Rick Carlisle generally won't interfere too much with Meng Xu's style of play on the court.

"Well, I see." After nodding to Rick Carlisle, Meng Xu sat down in front of his locker. Originally, Meng Xu planned to grab a wave of rebounds in the first three quarters, and by the way, he was giving away a few rebounds. An assist and a few pocketbooks, but now that the head coach has made demands on him, Meng Xu had to make some adjustments to his plan. He glanced at the direction of Jermaine O'Neal's locker, and then said in a low voice: "Dude, I'm sorry, the head coach won't let me brush the frontcourt, so I can only grab you the backcourt board."

"Ah!" Jermaine O'Neill, who was wiping his sweat, sneezed suddenly, and then looked at Meng Xu very vigilantly. After seeing Meng Xu looking at him, Jermaine O'Neal sneezed Feeling tight, why does Meng Xu look at me like this? Is there any intention? It seems that I need to be more careful!

After a short break and dancing with the hot cheerleaders, the game resumed in the second half. Unlike the previous games, the Pacers and Mavericks deployed their main lineups at the beginning of the second half.

After the start of the game, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking. First, Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison completed a pick-and-roll cooperation, and got rid of Meng Xu's Steve Nash through the pick-and-roll. At that time, he passed the basketball to Dirk Nowitzki on the left side of the court.

Although Tyshawn Prince began to defend Dirk Nowitzki after the start of the second half, but Nowitzki still took advantage of his body and stopped Tyshawn in a half turn. -After Prince, he received a pass from Steve Nash, perhaps because the intermission affected his touch. After reaching the front of the basket, it bounced out.

During the halftime break, Meng Xu, who was going to "protect" a few backcourt rebounds, quickly ran towards the basket after seeing Dirk Nowitzki's shot, preparing to play in Novitzki. If Cisky misses a shot, he will immediately "protect" the backboard.

However, when judging the rebound's landing point, Meng Xu made a slight deviation and failed to grab the backcourt rebound in time. Instead, Sean Bradley, who had been dangling around the basket for a long time, picked up the omission.

"Finally let me wait for my chance!" Sean Bradley, who grabbed the offensive rebound, grabbed the basketball and took a step forward. It was a powerful one-handed dunk, although it was just a simple one. Split dunk, but this dunk has a different meaning to Sean Bradley, because this is Sean Bradley's first offensive rebound in this game, and it is also Sean Bradley's first offensive rebound in the game. Bradley missed a dunk in the entire series. As the main center of the Mavericks, a guard grabbed 9 offensive rebounds in the first half. The dunk after the offensive rebound also made Sean Bradley let out a bad breath.

"Sean, you did a great job!" After getting off the basket, the teammates who were closer to Sean Bradley gave Sean Bradley a high-five to celebrate, and Sean Bradley, who was hotheaded for a while, Radley then made a decision that would haunt him for life.

"Ah..." Sean Bradley, who had finished celebrating with his teammates, waved his fist when he retreated past Meng Xu, and then roared at Meng Xu a few times. It's a provocation.

"Interesting." Meng Xu, who was going to catch James Posey's baseline ball, saw Sean Bradley roaring at him with a ferocious face, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a smile. , There are really few players who dare to challenge Meng Xu. I have to say that Sean Bradley is really a warrior!And Meng Xu admired the warriors the most.
