Legendary star

Chapter 735
"Ervin, do you think the Spurs can continue to reduce the score, or even overtake the score?" The Spurs beat the Pacers to a 9-4 offensive spurt at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It stands to reason that the Pacers should call one Pause, let's adjust, but the head coach of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle, is sitting on the bench on the sidelines at the moment, and it seems that he doesn't take the Spurs' offensive at all.

"Judging from the game just now, the Spurs players on the field seem to have found their hand. If the Pacers don't adjust their defensive strategy, they have the opportunity to continue to narrow the point difference. However, considering that Meng Xu is still on the field , the Pacers are unlikely to have a scoring shortage, and they cannot always maintain such a fiery touch, so the Spurs' hope of overtaking the score in a short time is still very slim." If you look at the normal game trend, the Spurs It's really promising, but once Magic Johnson saw the calm Pacers No. 5 on the field, he inexplicably didn't have too many expectations for the Spurs.

"Rick Carlisle is too arrogant. The Spurs are not a weak team like the Cavaliers and Wizards. The Spurs are a very tenacious team. Rick Carlisle will pay the price for his arrogance and arrogance sooner or later. "Unlike Magic Johnson, Barkley has a clear stand for the Spurs, but while saying these words, Barkley is still somewhat uneasy. After all, there is really no team that can come back in the hands of the Pacers. A few, but Barkley hopes that the Spurs can reverse the Pacers and let the Pacers taste the taste of failure.

As soon as Barkley's voice fell, what happened on the court made Barkley's old face blush. Brent Barry made a step-back jumper and hit a three-pointer, widening the difference between the two sides to 10 points again.

"Charles, your luck is really bad. If this is the home of the Spurs, the fans will throw their shoes at you and yell at you, shut up, you fat man." Looking at the embarrassed Barkley, Reggie Miller finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. As one of the main broadcasters of the NBA, TNT has broadcast most of the playoff games this season, and it's just a live broadcast with ABC. Different, the commentators of TNT commented these games in the TNT studio hall, but unfortunately, in the several rounds of the series broadcast by TNT, all the teams that Barkley was optimistic about were eventually eliminated. In the first round of the playoffs, Barkley vowed to claim that the Mavericks would sweep the Warriors 4-0. As a result, the Mavericks were black-eighted by the Warriors. In the second round of the playoffs, Barkley unswervingly supported his old club, the Suns. The Suns were eliminated by the Spurs again. When it came to the conference finals, Barkley was full of confidence in the Cavaliers again, thinking that James would end Meng Xu's domination of the NBA. However, the Cavaliers were directly swept away by the Pacers.

"Hahahaha..." After Reggie Miller's voice fell, the surrounding Magic Johnson and Michaels also laughed wantonly.

At this time, Barkley, who supported the Spurs, was helpless. Even Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, could only shake his head helplessly after Meng Xu hit a three-pointer. Brent Barry himself is taller than Meng Xu is short, but Meng Xu, who has a height advantage, also plays a step-back jumper. How do you let Brent Barry defend?
Stepping back and pulling up jump shots is also Meng Xu's specialty. He bounces well and has super long armbands. Players who are not as tall as Meng Xu themselves will suffer a lot when defending Meng Xu. When attacking from the frame, he will first push the defensive player, and then quickly step back and make a jumper. The height of the jump and the position of the shot, let alone a player under 2 meters tall like Brent Barry, are those The big man with a height of 2 meters can only look at the ball and sigh when Meng Xu uses this move. As for whether to score or not, it can only depend on Meng Xu's touch and luck.

"It feels pretty good." After the shot was made, Meng Xu murmured to himself. Since last season, in order to ensure the success rate of offense and shooting percentage, Meng Xu's three-point shots have been increasing. The range has been reduced, especially this kind of retreat step in the face of defensive players, which is rarely used, but in today's game, the Spurs' consecutive three-pointers made Meng Xusheng useless. Three points to fight back their minds.

After Meng Xu hit a three-pointer, Rick Carlisle, who was sitting on the sidelines, completely relaxed. Meng Xu's touch is not cold yet. As long as Meng Xu can keep his touch, even if the Spurs' outside players are crazy, the Spurs will not come back. After all, a role player will never be able to compete with a superstar like Meng Xu with scoring stability and continuity.

The progress of the next game was also the same. Tim Duncan led a group of substitutes to chase points continuously, while Meng Xu was one of you and I would return one. When Meng Xu made three consecutive three-pointers, the Spurs I couldn't stand it anymore, and in the face of tremendous pressure, Brent Barry actually made a three-point shot without defense.

After Popovich called a timeout, Brent Barry walked off the court with a look of annoyance. The few minutes just now were definitely a torture for Brent Barry. Trash talk of different styles kept destroying and hitting Brent Barry's body and mind. With Meng Xu's consecutive hits, the pressure in Brent Barry's heart also increased sharply, and finally he threw a three-no After dipping, Brent Barry almost collapsed.

"Hey!" After the timeout, Popovich replaced all the main players, ready to make a final fight, and after all the main players appeared on the field, Popovich kept staring at Meng Xu who was not far away. , sighed in a low voice, the main players of the Pacers, Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal are undoubtedly the two most threatening, Jermaine O'Neal Popovich has a way to deal with him, but for Meng Xu Xu, Popovich really has nothing to do. In today's game, Popovich tried several ways to defend Meng Xu, but all of them ended in failure.

"Meng Xu's three-point shot made another hit. This is the fourth three-point shot Meng Xu made in the fourth quarter!"

"Tim Duncan received the ball from the basket, the Pacers double-teamed very firmly, Tim Duncan scored the ball, Robert Hawley made a three-pointer, and the point difference between the two sides came to 10 points again."

"Meng Xu catches the ball, and it's the same action as before. Oh, God, Meng Xu made another three-pointer."

"Spurs possession, Tony Parker pass, Tony Parker turnover, Tony Parker turnover, Tony Allen steals Tony Parker pass, Pacers make a fast break, Tayshawn Prince Layup."

"This game is over." When Tayshaun Prince made a fast break and directly widened the point difference between the two sides to 15 points, even Barkley, who had always supported the Spurs, began to shake his head: "Meng Xu The scoring explosiveness and continuity are too strong. The Spurs simply don't have a player who can match Meng Xu, or in this league, there is currently no player who can compete with Meng Xu in scoring, especially in key points. His scoring ability at all times may only be comparable to Michael at his peak."

"If I remember correctly, Meng Xu should have scored 59 points. There is only 60 point away from the 1+ points in the finals. Now there are less than 7 minutes before the end of the game. Meng Xu has enough time. Raise your own score to over 60 points.”

When Barkley announced the end of the game, the on-site broadcast camera just scanned the expressions of every Spurs player. With less than 7 minutes left in the game, the difference of 15 points, even if Jordan came , There is no way to help the Spurs get back the score, and Reggie Miller and Michaels also began to discuss the next game between the two sides, but Magic Johnson began to count Meng Xu's single-game score.

Hearing what Magic Johnson said, Reggie Miller and Michaels also stopped talking, and Barkley even went directly to the technical table to ask for the technical statistics of the game.Just after Barkley got the technical statistics sheet, the live DJ at the Bankers Life Arena also broadcast the news of Meng Xu's 59 points in a single game at the top of his lungs.

And the audience at the scene, after hearing the news, almost all stood up from their seats and shouted Meng Xu's name in unison. Obviously, they all hoped that Meng Xu could make persistent efforts and achieve 60 points in the finals again today. + feat!
However, to the surprise of everyone at the scene, Meng Xu reached out to Rick Carlisle on the sidelines to signal him to call a timeout.

"Is Meng Xu giving up the chance to score 60 points?" After Rick Carlisle called a timeout, Meng Xu who walked to the sidelines put on his coat and sat on the bench seat. Seeing this, Michael Si also looked puzzled, 60 points in the finals, how many players dream of it, but Meng Xu gave up when he was 60 point away from 1 points in the finals.

"Meng Xu will really save face for the Spurs." Unlike Michaels' doubts and confusion, Magic Johnson immediately thought of the reason. The Celtics, who were cut by Elgin Baylor with 60+ People, and the Lakers, who were scored 60+ by Meng Xu, are still in the background until now. Whenever the single-game scoring record in the finals is mentioned, the two teams will be pulled out to criticize, and the Spurs are in the distance. When he was further away from the two teams, he was forgiven by Meng Xu.
