Legendary star

Chapter 669
"Unfortunately, we lost the first game of the series. The Pacers are a very strong team, but this is only one game. The long series has just begun. I don't think we lost an away game. It’s the end of the world, and there are 7 games in a series, no one can predict what will happen at the end of the long schedule.”

"Meng Xu's performance today? We are one of the best defensive teams in the entire league. In the 82 regular season games this season, no one can score 40 points with us, and Meng Xu did it today. And it’s not just 40 points, but 60 points, 60 points, he scored a full 60 points on us, today’s game, he beat us alone, there is no doubt that he is the best in this league If the regular season MVP voting allows me to participate, I will definitely vote for Meng Xu with the first vote in my hand."

After the first game between the Pacers and the Pistons in the Eastern Conference semifinals, because today's protagonist Meng Xu did not attend the post-match press conference, Pistons head coach Philip Saunders became the target of criticism from many reporters on the scene. Regarding the "siege" of these reporters, although Philip Sanders was very unhappy, he did not explode on the spot. He always avoided talking about questions that were obviously traps, but kept praising Meng Xu today. At the same time, he continued to satirize these reporters inside and outside the words, and even mixed with some sowing dissension.

Philip Saunders has never had a good look at these reporters who have no lower limit for integrity. As for their current behavior of standing for Meng Xu, Philip Saunders is extremely contemptuous. In the voting, most of the votes in my hands were cast for Tim Duncan. When he voted, he was a BIAO, but now he ran over to Meng Xu's platform, wanting to set up an archway.

"Peja's performance? Peja's performance today is very good. Whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end, he has done his best and made due contributions to the team. As for Peja's performance in The remarks before the game, I don’t think there is anything wrong with Peja’s words, he doesn’t need to apologize to anyone for his words, and he doesn’t need to be responsible to anyone.”

"Will we continue to lose in the next game? Although we lost this game, it does not mean that we will continue to lose. As for Meng Xu, I admit that he is very strong. He is the strongest in my mind." player, but he can't score 60 points on us every game, and likewise, we won't be like today in every game."

. . . . . .

On May 2006, 5, the East and West semi-finals played one game each. In the Spurs home game against the Mavericks, the NBA held a regular season MVP award ceremony for the Spurs star Tim Duncan. At the award ceremony After the end, Tim Duncan led the Spurs to an 8-87 victory over the Mavericks at home, crowned the regular season MVP, led the team to victory, and scored 85 points, 31 rebounds, and 14 blocked shots in the game. It stands to reason that tonight's protagonist is none other than Tim Duncan. However, after the end of the two conference finals, today's focus does not belong to Tim Duncan, because in another conference semifinal, Meng Xu scored 4. Points, 60 points in a single playoff game, the fifth time in NBA history that 60 points in a playoff game, such a crazy game is enough to overshadow the limelight of the regular season MVP.

After the news that Meng Xu scored 60 points came out, countless media reporters who went to San Antonio to interview the Spurs beat their chests, regretting that they missed such a wonderful game, and many reporters left San Antonio quietly on the same day , ran to Indiana to prepare for the interview work for the second game between the Pacers and Pistons.

After Meng Xu scored 60 points in a single game, countless people are looking forward to Meng Xu's performance in the next game. The ticket price for the second game between the Pacers and Pistons has even been fired to the price of the first game. 3 times, and of course some "reasonable emperors" stood up in this situation, claiming that Meng Xu's performance in the next game is absolutely sorry for such an expensive ticket price, and there is only one reason, that is, apart from the pervert Chamberlain , No one can perform too badly in the next game after scoring 60+ in a single game, not even Jordan, let alone Meng Xu.

On May 5, the second game of the series between the Pacers and the Pistons kicked off again at the Bankers Life Arena.

After the loss of the last game, the Pistons did not change the team lineup or tactics in the second game. Center Ben Wallace and power forward Rasheed Wallace Warriors, small forward Peja Stojakovic, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, point guard Chauncey Billups, Flip Saunders' starting lineup and a losing game Same.

Generally speaking, the team that loses first in the playoffs must be the first to adjust, but Philip Sanders did the opposite and did not make any changes to the team lineup and tactics , probably in the opinion of Philip Saunders, the Pistons' loss in the last game was completely a non-war crime. If Meng Xu hadn't scored 60 points, it would not be certain who would win.Maybe Philip Sanders also believed the nonsense of those "reasonable emperors" and did not make any adjustments to the team lineup, but chose to wait and see what happened. What if Meng Xu really didn't feel good today!
The "reasonable emperors" placed high hopes on Meng Xu, who wanted to perform abnormally in this game, which undoubtedly disappointed these "reasonable emperors". In today's game, Meng Xu once again blasted Peja on both offense and defense. - Stojakovic, played 41 minutes in the game, scored 52 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. After this game, Meng Xu tied another record that Jordan kept with 18 He became the second player in NBA history to score more than 50 points in two consecutive playoff games.

"We are really already thinking about the next round." After scoring 50+ again and leading the Pacers to a 2-0 lead over the Pistons, Meng Xu finally attended the post-match press conference. Xu's first sentence made Philip Saunders furious, and he was so angry that he was almost ready to shake his hands and leave.

"Haha." Looking at Philip Saunders's face that was about to suffocate internal injuries, Meng Xu couldn't help feeling secretly refreshed.
