Legendary star

Chapter 605

"The U.S. team is still the U.S. team!" At the end of the third quarter, looking at the 68-73 score on the scoreboard, Sun Zhengping in the CCAV studio was in a daze for a while, and even the sliver of expectation in his heart began to waver. up.

Under the crazy strangling of the American men's basketball team, Meng Xu's performance was good enough, but the other players of the Huaguo men's basketball team could not provide any help for Meng Xu. The Huaguo men's basketball team scored 18 points in the third quarter. , 13 points were scored by Meng Xu relying on his strong personal ability.In the international arena where each quarter lasts only 10 minutes, scoring 18 points in a single quarter is not considered a very low score. However, the US team, the opponent of the Huaguo men's basketball team, scored 29 points in the third quarter. Overtook the score in one fell swoop.Especially Tim Duncan of the American men's basketball team, this big man who was unknown in the first half, made 11 of 7 shots and 4 of 2 free throws in the third quarter. He scored 16 points in a single quarter, helping the American men's basketball team to turn around in one fell swoop. the situation on the field.

"I really didn't expect this game to be played like this. The American men's basketball team's defensive strength in the third quarter was too great. Except for Meng Xu, other players had difficulty even dribbling, let alone scoring. Under such a high-intensity defense, Meng Xu didn't feel very good. Although he scored 13 points in a single quarter, he used 12 shots."

"This is something that can't be helped. We have seen the situation on the court. Except for Meng Xu, the rest of the players have difficulty even dribbling to the frontcourt under the high-intensity defense of the US team. In this case, Meng Xu Xu has to advance with the ball and organize the offense. On the defensive end, he has to lead the defense and help his teammates defend. In addition, he is taken care of by the US team throughout the whole process. Meng Xu's physical fitness may have been problematic for a long time."

"That's true. Although Dayao and General are not weak, they are inside players after all, and they don't have any advantage when facing Tim Duncan."

"In this game, Meng Xu's performance was perfect enough, with 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals in three quarters, but it's a pity that facing the star-studded American men's basketball team, Meng Xu also struggled with both fists. Enemy with four hands!" During the pause, in the CCAV studio hall, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping had already started to find an excuse for Meng Xu. It wasn't Meng Xu's lack of power, but his teammates CBA, it really is a bunch of CBA!
. . . . . .

"Meng Xu really worked hard today, and he played with a substitute lineup in the fourth quarter!" After the start of the fourth quarter, watching the players on the field from both sides, the press box on the sidelines immediately boiled, and the game was full. Throughout the first half, Meng Xu, who played for more than 8 minutes in the third quarter, played again in the fourth quarter. The difference of 5 points is not big, but it is not a big deal for the Huaguo men's basketball team to move back to the score. so easy.

For the U.S. men’s basketball team, because the full-court press in the third quarter consumed a lot of energy, the five players who played in the third quarter are all sitting on the bench to rest at the moment, and they are replaced by Allen Iverson The leading rotation lineup, although Tim Duncan's end has greatly weakened the inside strength of the American men's basketball team, but Jahlil Okafor, Sean Marion, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade , Allen Iverson's lineup is also strong enough.

As for the Huaguo men's basketball team, Meng Xu can only count on it. Obviously, the American men's basketball team thinks so too. After the game started, when it was the Huaguo men's basketball team's turn to attack, Dwyane Wade and Kame Long Anthony surrounded him, and the American men's basketball team started double-teaming Meng Xu again.

"Do you want to use the big move in advance?" While slapping the basketball, he was doing intense ideological work. Meng Xu wanted to win today's game, and he wanted to win very much. We are at a disadvantage, so Meng Xu is considering using some special means, but when he thinks about the upcoming knockout rounds, or even the semi-finals and finals of the Olympic Games, Meng Xu gives up the idea of ​​using a trump card. In a game that has nothing to do with qualifying and ranking, it is undoubtedly a very unwise behavior to use one's last hole card.

Although he gave up the opportunity to start the "big move", Meng Xu did not give up, but chose a very dangerous way of chasing points. Since breakthroughs are useless, and chasing points in back-up singles is too slow, then simply shoot a few three-pointers Try it out, if it doesn't work, think of another way.

Meng Xu's choice is undoubtedly very risky, but the current situation on the court is that no matter how hard Meng Xu works on the defensive end, the Huaguo men's basketball team cannot effectively stop the offensive tactics of the American men's basketball team. In the case of scoring, there is only one way to go, and that is to score more points than the opponent. However, if Meng Xu's wishful thinking is miscalculated, the Huaguo men's basketball team will have no chance to come back.

"Hey, the gap between us is really not 01:30." When Meng Xu slapped the basketball and rushed through the gap between Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, Meng Xu Carmelo Anthony, whose chest was hurting from Xu's bump, looked at Meng Xu's back, and said softly to himself.

Carmelo Anthony entered the league with the title of "Meng Xu's successor". Therefore, surpassing Meng Xu to become No.1 in the league naturally became Carmelo Anthony's number one goal. In the two games between the Nuggets and the Pacers, although the Nuggets were disastrous, Anthony's performance was remarkable, especially in the second matchup between the two sides, Anthony scored 33 points and 11 rebounds A quasi triple-double with 8 assists, that game also fueled Anthony's self-confidence.But through today's game, Anthony discovered how terrifying Meng Xu is who is trying his best. Anthony is very clear about the strength of LeBron James, but in today's game, Anthony and James can't handle it together. Meng Xu was the only one, but was humiliated by Meng Xu in a one-on-two situation. From this, Anthony also thoroughly figured out the strength gap between himself and Meng Xu.

"Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony's double-team defense, excellent sense of position, they have blocked Meng Xu's way forward."

"Meng Xu moved, very good starting speed, very strong physical fitness, Meng Xu directly smashed a path between Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony!" Still praising Wade and Anthony The on-site commentator of the defense was shocked by the sudden changes on the court. Both Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are perimeter players with abnormal physical fitness, but these two guys with tendons , Just like that, he was knocked away by Meng Xu, Carmelo Anthony was better, and Dwyane Wade stabilized after taking two steps back.

"What is this guy going to do? Do you want a long-range three-pointer?" When Meng Xu knocked away Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony, he was more than one meter away from the top of the arc. Jumped up, in the game between the Huaguo men's basketball team and Lithuania, Meng Xu made super long-range three-pointers one after another, throwing the Lithuanian three-point shooters to despair, but in today's game, due to the American men's The basket's defense is very targeted, and the situation is relatively anxious, so Meng Xu rarely takes such shots.

"Is Meng going to give up?" After seeing Meng Xu's shot choice, Popovich on the sidelines immediately had a strange idea in his mind, but Popovich soon shook his head, Meng Xu's desire to win is very strong. After coaching Meng Xu for two seasons, Popovich has never seen Meng Xu have a negative game, and if Meng Xu wants to give up this game, he will not be in the fourth place. He played at the beginning of the festival, and it would be fine if he didn't play directly.

Just as Popovich crossed his arms and stared intently at the basketball thrown by Meng Xu, the basketball thrown by Meng Xu drew an arc and entered the net hollowly.
