Chapter 65 Top 3 Perimeter Defense in the League

"The big windmill dunk that changed hands in the air turned out to be a big windmill dunk that changed hands in the air." After Meng Xu successfully completed this dunk, the entire Oakland Arena suddenly boiled.

"It's a very beautiful slam dunk. I think Meng can try to participate in the slam dunk contest." Johnson next to Kenny Smith also clapped his hands and praised constantly. The physical fitness that Meng Xu showed in the slam dunk just now was really surprising. The physical talent shown by Meng Xu in the previous games was obviously worse than that of Larry Bird.

After confirming to participate in this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge, I'm used to Meng Xu stealing the spotlight in key games, so how could I be willing to be lonely? Since Meng Xu's jumping attribute has reached 94 points, he is a little bit close to being stuck in the air. , It can be said that it has reached the first-class level of the league, so Meng Xu also spent hundreds of points in the system space, and specially invited two senior trainers to guide him to dunk. After spending hundreds of hours in the system space, Meng Xu Xu successfully mastered two kinds of difficult dunks. Although the attribute of staying in the air is not good, he still can't complete those extremely difficult dunks, but Meng Xu is also very contented.

In the round defending Williams just now, Meng Xu finally seized the opportunity to show off a slam dunk in front of nearly [-] fans and tens of millions of spectators around the world. A limelight, and this dunk also added countless fans for Meng Xu.

After Meng Xu's dunk, several players on the field ran over to celebrate with Meng Xu's high-fives and hugs. Only Brand's face was a little gloomy. He originally thought that after Francis and Odom left the field, the entire field would become random. Unexpectedly, Meng Xu stole the limelight on her shining stage.

"Brother Su, this dunk is really great. I have never seen such a beautiful dunk in the CBA." In the press box, several reporters from CCTV couldn't hide their inner excitement. Shang Song, who was carrying a camera, He completely disregarded his own image and shouted loudly like an ordinary fan. Before coming to the United States, Shang Song was one of the reporters in charge of covering the CBA in China.

"Xiao Shang, don't drop the equipment." Compared with Su Qun and Shang Song, Sun Zhengping, the oldest, seemed a little calmer.

"The two teams are starting to play seriously now." After the game restarted, the defensive order on the court instantly rose to a higher level. After Meng Xu completed this dunk, the second-year players also became serious. After everything that happened, Williams also became more cautious, putting away those fancy but error-prone moves.

"Why is this guy so fast?" Under Meng Xu's close defense, Williams almost missed the dribble several times. This guy moved faster than himself. You must know that he is 2 meters tall. A big man with super long wingspan, he completely covered himself to death.As soon as Meng Xu made physical contact with him, Williams couldn't help feeling flustered. He had experienced this feeling several times before, but it was Gary Payton who defended him in those games.Compared with Gary Payton, Meng Xu does not have those disgusting little moves in defense, but Meng Xu's defense feels more oppressive.

"Meng's defense is really good, Williams is close to 24 seconds, and he is also very clean defensively."

"Yes, a lot of people are talking about Meng's defense now, thinking that Meng's defense has reached the level of Scottie Pippen's peak, especially Michaels, who is already advocating that Meng should be selected as the best defense of the year Player." Seeing that Williams was unable to pass the ball after dribbling for more than 20 seconds under Meng Xu's defense, Johnson and Smith also began to praise Meng Xu's defense in front of countless TV audiences. .

"Meng's single defense is indeed very good, but his help defense is not good, and his strength is not good enough. This makes it difficult for Meng to deal with those players with good physical talents, and Meng still can't reach the goal. Scott can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position. Even so, Meng is still one of the three best defensive perimeter players in the league. The strength and potential that Meng is showing now, even the top three picks are not a problem." Johnson said earlier that he was talking about Meng Xu's various shortcomings, but in the end he changed the subject and once again He praised Meng Xu.

Back on the court, Williams finally called his teammates to cover, and through the pick-and-roll with Pierce, he got rid of Meng Xu and passed the ball to Nowitzki. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was better than being defended for 24 seconds many.

In the next round of offense, Williams faced Meng Xu again after possession of the ball for half the court. After being almost defended by Meng Xu for 24 seconds in the last round, Williams, who refused to admit defeat, waved to his teammates. Signaling them to pull away, Williams wanted to save face by singles Meng Xu.

Through the adjustments of these rounds, Williams has now reached the best state he can play at present. Williams, who originally liked passing more than shooting, has developed an excellent 3-hander in recent years. After [-] minutes, even the breakthrough almost gave up.

Williams patted the basketball steadily, trying to find a breakthrough channel. After taking two steps to the left with the ball, he made an emergency stop and moved laterally to the right, hoping to throw Meng Xu away. Go to the basket.

"Boy, your breakthrough is far from that of Allen." If Iverson's breakthrough and change of direction are described as professional, then Williams can only be described as amateur, and Williams is in the process of breakthrough. , not sticking to the basketball like Iverson, but in order to send a more beautiful pass, his shot is very strong, and the distance between the basketball and the palm is relatively far.

Just when Williams advanced to a distance of 3 meter outside the 1-point line and was blocked by Meng Xu again, Williams had to choose an emergency stop, and then turned around directly, wanting to take advantage of Meng Xu's unsteady foothold, and then Shot from outside the 3-point line.

When facing someone who is 15 centimeters taller than him, and has a super long wingspan and moving speed, no matter who wants to shoot directly in front of him, it is very easy to be interfered or even blocked.This was the case for Williams' shot this time. When he thought that Meng Xu must be unable to react in time, he found that Meng Xu had already jumped up. With a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 2 meters, the tall Meng Xu leaped towards him. Like a mountain, it blocked Williams, and Williams, who couldn't see the basket at all, could only make a shot based on his feeling.

"Your shooting arc is too low." The basketball, which was still rising after the shot, was directly caught by Meng Xu. After landing, Meng Xu turned around and passed Williams, leaving only the stunned Williams stayed put.

The second mandatory timeout was soon ushered in. During these 2 minutes, the first-year team played a 7-19 climax of the second-year team, but they overtook the score 7-35.

After the timeout, the coaches of the two sides adjusted the personnel on the field again. In the first grade, Odom replaced Meng Xu, Todd McClochy replaced Brand, and Francis replaced Szczerbiak.The second-year team replaced Dirk Nowitzki with Liv LaFrentz, and Michael Dixon replaced Paul Pierce.
