Chapter 684 The Crucial Battle
"Meng, are you ready to go fishing?"

After the appearance ceremony was over, O'Neal walked directly to the side of the Pacers' bench, and asked Meng Xu with "concern". It was obvious that since leaving Los Angeles, O'Neill hadn't been so happy, because O'Neill finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge, and finally saw the hope of stepping Meng Xu under his feet, so at this time, O'Neill was somewhat complacent up.

"Fishing? I don't have time to go fishing. I still have to go to the finals. But you, you should rest early. You are already so old. If you don't take good care of your body, I'm afraid it's time to retire. Why? So, have you already bought a ticket to Hawaii for vacation, if not, I can introduce you to a website that offers a discount, which is very cheap."

Although O'Neal is a joke, Meng Xu knows that O'Neal doesn't mean to tease him. There are many people in this league who don't like O'Neal. Eric Dampier, who claims to be the No. [-] center in the Western Conference, and Ben the Pistons... Wallace, but when it comes to the person O'Neal hates the most, Meng Xu will definitely do his part, and of course there is Kobe Bryant who squeezed O'Neal away from the Lakers.

"You bastard, let's see how I teach you today." O'Neill originally wanted to make fun of Meng Xu, but was molested by Meng Xu for a while, but O'Neill is still relatively calm at the moment, and does not have too many verbal wars with Meng Xu , but left a harsh word and went straight to the field to warm up.

Since O'Neal was absent due to injury, the heavy duty of jumping the ball on behalf of the Pacers and the Heat today fell to NN-Hilario. NN-Hilario is also a typical spring person, but the jumping ball is not [-]% able to bounce well He won, and compared to Jermaine O'Neal, who has the title of jump ball finisher, NN-Hilario has no jump ball experience, so in this jump ball, NN-Hilario lost to O'Neal.

"Shaq's anticipation was excellent, NN-Hilario's take-off was a little too early."

After turning the basketball in the air to the backcourt, O'Neal slowly ran to the frontcourt, but what surprised O'Neal was that he had already reached the three-point line, and he didn't see his teammates or Pacers players catching up to him .

Amidst the exclamation of the surrounding audience, O'Neal felt something was wrong and looked back, and was shocked to find that the basketball hadn't even passed halftime, and the Pacers pressed the Heat at the beginning of the game. Lun clung to Jason Williams who was struggling to dribble, Meng Xu stared at Dwyane Wade, Tyshawn Prince and James Posey were close to the middle circle Antoine Walker and Udonis Haslem, as for NN Hilario, who jumped the ball with O'Neal just now, stopped after passing the middle circle, standing between the middle circle and the top of the arc superior.

Seeing that Jason Williams was struggling under the pressure of Tony Allen, he was about to reach Dwyane Wade near the middle circle, and immediately retreated to cover for Jason Williams, but Dwyane Wade As soon as De took two steps, he was directly stuck behind Meng Xu who was sticking to him. Almost at the moment Dwyane Wade was stuck by Meng Xu, Jason Williams passed the basketball in his hand. Come over, Jason Williams, who has been entangled by Tony Allen for a long time, is obviously a little anxious, so after seeing Dwyane Wade running back to cover for himself, he wants to pass the basketball directly to Dwyane Wade De, if the delay continues, it will be an 8-second violation, but who would have thought that Meng Xu suddenly appeared in front of Dwyane Wade.

Meng Xu, who received a pass from Jason Williams very comfortably, scored his first score of the game with a fast break dunk amidst the boos of the audience.

"Jason, thank you for your assist." Meng Xu, who came down from the basket, sent his thanks to Jason Williams when he passed by Jason Williams.

"This bastard's mouth is still so short." Jason Williams with a gloomy face looked at Meng Xu who was not far away from him, and cursed bitterly. Jason Williams and Meng Xu were also regarded as Old acquaintances, in the All-Star rookie game of the 99-00 season, Meng Xu was selected for the first-year team, Jason Williams was selected for the second-year team, the pinnacle of Jason Williams, the elbow pass The ball was completed in front of Meng Xu. That imaginative pass has been one of the top ten passes of the All-Star Weekend until now. In that game, Jason Williams learned how Meng Xu Xu's trash talk, so many years have passed, Meng Xu is now No. 1 in the league, but his mouth is still so weak.

"Jason, stay focused, don't be careless." O'Neal, who took a few steps back from the frontcourt, looked at the ashen-faced Jason Williams, and frowned to remind him that in today's game, the Heat will What must be won is to be able to win the Eastern Conference finals, but also for the words that Meng Xu disgusted before the game. No matter what, this game cannot be lost.

"I see, Shaq, I'll be careful this time."

After the duels in these few games, Jason Williams has long adapted to the Pacers' defensive rhythm, and with Jason Williams' ability to control the ball, he can still do it without being intercepted. Passing the basketball directly to Meng Xu's hands is entirely because of being too careless.

"The Pacers are going to press the Heat all over the court!" Udonis Haslem just sent the baseline ball, and Tony Allen started to press again on Jason Williams who held the ball in the backcourt Defensively, it is obvious that the Pacers are going to press the Heat in the opening stage today.

The Pacers in the Larry Bird era were the best team to use full-court tightness. The Pacers, dubbed the Indiana Athletics, often used full-court tight tactics when the score was behind. Destroyed the opponent, but after Rick Carlisle took over the Pacers, the Pacers rarely used this tactic because the full-court press was very energy-consuming, which is why Larry Bird was only when the team was behind. , the reason why the full-court pressing tactics are used.

And more importantly, the full-court press is a tactic with both advantages and disadvantages, because the full-court press is based on one-on-one defense, so once a point is broken, the court will There are large gaps, so the full-court pressing tactic is a tactic that kills the opponent if you play well, and kills yourself if you don't play well.

"Jason, here, pass the ball quickly." Under Tony Allen's tight defense, Jason Williams tried several times but couldn't dribble the ball through the half court. In desperation, Dwyane- Wade ran over to cover for Jason Williams again. After the last mistake, Dwyane Wade was more careful this time.

After scanning Dwyane Wade running towards him from the corner of his eye, Jason Williams felt a little more relaxed. If no teammates came to cover for him, this attack would definitely fail. The 8-second violation, so Jason Williams threw the basketball in the direction of Dwyane Wade after seeing Dwyane Wade.

However, to the horror of Jason Williams, the basketball that had just been passed by him changed its direction before it reached Dwyane Wade's hands. Meng Xu, almost at the moment he passed the ball, suddenly jumped out and changed the flight trajectory of the basketball with his fingertips.

The basketball flew out by Meng Xu was snatched by Tony Allen beside Jason Williams. It was another dunk after stealing the ball. Tony Allen dunked the basketball with both hands. After the basket, he didn't come down directly from the basket, but imitated O'Neill holding the basket with both hands and shaking it for a long time before falling down from the basket with satisfaction.

"This bitch!" O'Neill, who was standing near the middle circle, saw that No. 9 player of the Pacers imitated his actions after dunking, and was instantly yelled at in anger.

"This game is not easy to play." After the opening, two consecutive offenses were intercepted by the opponent. Pat Riley, who was standing on the sidelines, had to call a timeout after only 10 seconds of the opening.
