Chapter 648 Two Stubborn Donkeys
"Meng Xu and Duncan have 'answer-ball' twice in a row. When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Duncan reached out for the ball again. It seems that the duel between Duncan and Meng Xu will continue!" The second 'answer-ball', the long-awaited God-Buddhist battle finally came, especially in the Spurs' next attack, Tim Duncan once again reached out to Tony Parker for the ball, which made the already very excited Magic Johnson's emotions became increasingly high.

Facing Meng Xu's challenge, Tim Duncan gave the most direct response. After receiving the ball, Tim Duncan went straight to the basket, and this time Tim Duncan faced Jermaine O'Neal and NN - Hilario's two-person defense is the same as Meng Xu's choice in the last round. When the Pacers also started to double-team Tim Duncan, it is very rare for Tim Duncan not to give the basketball to the opportunity. Good teammates, but facing the defense of Jermaine O'Neal and NN-Hilario, the Overlord bowed hard.

After adjusting his footsteps a bit, Tim Duncan, under the double-teaming of Jermaine O'Neal and NN Hilario, jumped sideways against Jermaine O'Neal and forced to take off at a distance of about 4 meters from the basket Hook hit.

After scoring this goal, Tim Duncan did not stay in place too much, but quickly retreated towards the backcourt after glancing at Meng Xu.

"I've really tried my best." Seeing Duncan's receding back and Meng Xu staring at him, Jermaine O'Neill whispered guiltyly, it's not that I don't work hard on defense, you must Believe me!

"Tony, you go directly to the frontcourt." After telling Tony Allen, Meng Xu signaled NN-Hilario, who was serving the baseline ball from the baseline, to hand the ball directly to him, as the Pacers' offensive and defensive core and boss , Meng Xu has such a privilege at any time, so after Meng Xu spoke, Tony Allen ran directly to the frontcourt, and NN-Hilario also received the referee's signal The basketball was passed to Meng Xu.

"Haha, does Meng want to come by himself?"

From the coach's point of view, Meng Xu's way of competing with Duncan is definitely not what they want to see, so whether it is Rick Carlisle sitting on the bench or Popovich standing on the sidelines After seeing Meng Xu directly advancing with the ball, they all frowned, but Magic Johnson and others in the commentary booth, as well as the audience at the scene, had a completely different mentality. The more Meng Xu and Duncan The more they compete, the more they like it, because no matter when and where, a one-on-one confrontation between two superstars is the most exciting thing. As for team basketball, there is no such attraction at all.

Meng Xu, who received a pass from NN-Hilaryo, began to accelerate gradually in the backcourt. Mike Finley, who originally wanted to slow down Meng Xu's advancing speed, was thrown behind by Meng Xu in one step, and waited until Meng Xu dribbled the ball Passing the middle circle, Mike Finley was already several positions away by Meng Xu.Taking advantage of the fact that the Spurs hadn't fully retreated, especially when Tim Duncan had just retreated near the three-point line, Meng Xu decisively rushed towards the Spurs' basket.

"Rasu, go to the basket!" Popovich on the sidelines seemed to have sensed the danger, and while Meng Xu was still speeding up, he moved towards Rasu Nestor, who was still near the free throw line. Lovech roared loudly, motioning him to go to the basket to defend.

Looking at Meng Xu who had just passed the middle circle, and the head coach who was yelling on the sidelines, Rasu Nesterovic retreated towards the basket in a daze, but only a second later, Rasu Nesterovic Lovech regretted that he retreated too slowly.

The distance from the center circle to the free throw line is more than 7 meters, almost in the blink of an eye, Meng Xu, who was slapping the basketball, appeared beside Rasu Nesterovic. Nesterovic retreated along the edge of the paint area while spreading his arms in an attempt to interfere with Meng Xu's sight.

Tim Duncan, who had already retreated to the other side of the court, gave up on Jermaine O'Neal who was facing him, and accelerated towards the basket. Tim Duncan knew very well that Rasu Nestor Lovech is no match for Meng Xu anyway, so he has to catch up with the defense before Meng Xu.

However, Duncan was still a little late. The moment Duncan entered the paint, Meng Xu on the other side jumped up to face Rasu Nesterovic's block. A simple railing, Meng Xu in the air avoided Rasu Nesterovic's block and threw the basketball in his hand into the basket. The timing was just right, Duncan made a supplementary defense and the basketball fell into the net.

After landing, Meng Xu gave Tim Duncan a thumbs up amidst the cheers of his teammates. The provocation was obvious.

Duncan, who was expressionless, didn't react, but ran directly to the frontcourt.

"Tony, the ball!" On the right side of the free throw line, Duncan, who had NN-Hilario stuck behind him, reached out to Tony Parker, who had just dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

"Uh." Turning his head and glanced at Popovich standing on the sidelines, Tony Parker felt that what he was pinching was no longer a basketball, but a hot potato, because just now, when Tony- When Parker dribbled the ball forward, Popovich on the sidelines made a downward gesture towards him, signaling him to press down on the rhythm of the game. Although Popovich didn't say it clearly, Tony Parker knew it well. The head coach wanted to stop Duncan and Meng Xu from going it alone. After all, the Spurs were still behind, but when Tim Duncan reached out for the ball, Tony Parker dared not refuse. After all, Duncan was the The boss of this team is the head coach on the one hand, and the boss of the team on the other. If he offends either, there is no good fruit to eat. Therefore, after Duncan reached out for the ball, Tony Parker did not respond for a long time and did not dare to pass it. I dare not pass it on!

When Duncan yelled at Tony Parker for the second time, in the end Tony Parker was forced by Duncan's coercion and handed the basketball to Duncan. After passing the ball, he looked very guilty and stood on the sidelines. Popovich, who was already livid.

"Another stubborn donkey." Looking at Duncan after receiving the ball, he ignored Rasu Nesterovic who was already open. Under the defense of Jermaine O'Neal and NN Hilario, Forced the hook, Popovich was really upset to the extreme, completely ignoring his own tactical arrangements, and fighting with Meng Xu, Popovich really wanted to call a timeout now, replace him and let him calm down calm.
