Chapter 77 The Different Meng Xu
"Greg, Meng's style of play takes up too much possession." After Tim Duncan played successfully several times in a row, the New York Knicks began to double-team Tim Duncan. The ball was also transferred to Meng Xu's side, but Meng Xu's performance after receiving the ball made the Spurs' assistant coach Mike Budenholzer a little dissatisfied.

Since Popovich took over the Spurs, the Spurs have been transformed into a team that has always relied heavily on the team. In the past, the superstar style of play that only looked at David Robinson, although occasionally appeared, but that tactic can only be used now. It appeared on Tim Duncan, not Meng Xu in front of him.

After using the enchanting potion, Meng Xu's passing ability has reached 99, which has brought better vision and more choices for passing opportunities. Correspondingly, Meng Xu's requirements for teammates' running ability are also As the tide rises, in order to send better passes and assists, Meng Xu is also cautious about passing opportunities, but dragged down by ball control and breakthrough ability, Meng Xu chooses passing opportunities more in situ Waiting for teammates to run out of space instead of actively creating opportunities for teammates. Although Meng Xu successfully sent out 3 assists in a row, it still caused dissatisfaction with assistant coach Mike Budenholzer.

"Meng's requirements for his teammates are too high. If Meng can have the above-average breakthrough ability in the league, coupled with his current excellent passing ability and vision, then he is enough to become the tactical core of a team. After hearing what the assistant coach said, Popovich nodded and said that Meng Xu has a certain ability to pass the ball, but after holding the ball in this game, Meng Xu's passing ability can no longer be used outstandingly. To describe it, but the more it is like this, the more regretful Popovich feels. Fortunately, Meng Xu is still young, and he still has enough time to reform him, and his future is also enough for people to look forward to.

"Yes, but for now, the poor breakthrough and ball-handling ability make Meng's request completely a drag on the team." The gap in knowledge reserve and insight made Mike Budenholzer completely invisible Some deeper things that Popovich can see, but being able to be Popovich's assistant coach is not incompetent. After listening to Popovich, Mike Budenholzer instantly The meaning of Popovich's words is clear.

Mario and Ellie, one of the Spurs' "three irons on the outside", also played very aggrieved in this game. After nearly 5 minutes in the first quarter, they only got one shot. The season's three-point shooting rate is not high, but it doesn't mean that he is empty. This guy Meng doesn't pass the ball to himself, but when he thinks of the head coach's tactical arrangements before the game, Mario Elli can only look at Meng. Xu shook his head helplessly.

After Jalen Jackson dribbled the ball for half the court, he handed the basketball to Meng Xu skillfully again, and he also ran towards the right side of the court near the baseline. If Mario Elli played very awkwardly in this game , then Jalen Jackson is undoubtedly the most comfortable one to play. As long as he has a good chance to run several consecutive offenses, Meng Xu will pass the ball to him in the first time, unless Tim Duncan has the opportunity Better than himself, even so Jalen Jackson has no complaints, who makes Duncan the boss, and Duncan is closer to the basket, and the success rate is obviously higher.

At this moment, Meng Xu kept slapping the basketball and observing the running positions of his teammates on the field. Meng Xu didn't care about Alan Houston in front of him now. Compared with his offense, Alan Houston's defense was obviously much worse. And after several rounds of probing, Meng Xu discovered that, in order to save more energy for offense, as long as he did not take the initiative to attack, Alan Houston would basically not defend himself, let alone close defense in a normal state.And Meng Xu's thinking at the moment is similar to that of Alan Houston. Let his teammates attack in the first three quarters, and he can paddle as long as he can. As long as he doesn't relax on the defensive end and sends out a few assists by the way, even the head coach can't say anything. And the fourth quarter is when he shows his talents.

As for his changes on the court, Meng Xu is also very clear. After the passing attribute reached 99, he not only gained stronger passing ability, but also his vision became better. The passing opportunities he got, coupled with the abnormal jumping ability that has already overflowed in this game, whether it is a ground pass or a false throw after a take-off from the outside, Meng Xu is now very proficient in playing.

"It's a beautiful alley-oop. Tim Duncan and Meng really have a tacit understanding, and Meng's pass is really surprising." Duncan just squeezed Ewing away from the inside and stretched out his arms to ask Meng Xu for the ball. Jumping directly from the outside line, he passed the basketball over. Duncan overwhelmed Ewing and dunked the basketball into the basket in the air. After scoring the goal, Duncan also gave Meng Xu a thumbs up and retreated with a smile on his face. Compared with Avery Johnson, Meng Xu's passing is also more suitable for him. Meng Xu is taller than Johnson by a large margin, and the ball he passes is more comfortable. Johnson's passing is based on low-level balls. Lord, Ye Mengxu passed more of the ball to him in this game. He didn't have to bend over or dribble when catching the ball. He could directly attack the basket after receiving the ball.

"Nice pass." On the edge of the court, Popovich, who has always been strict, extended his hands and applauded involuntarily after seeing this alley-oop.

Soon the official timeout of the first quarter came, and the Spurs led the Knicks by 17 points 13 to 4. After the timeout, both sides also replaced the substitutes.

"Meng, I hope you can play more proactively and move. Although this will increase your chances of making mistakes, I hope you will learn to take the initiative to create opportunities for your teammates instead of waiting to see opportunities for your teammates. Understand? "Just after arranging the tactics of the substitute players, after the game started, Popovich sat next to Meng Xu with the tactical board.

"Coach, you know my ability to break through, it's hard..." Listening to Popovich's demands on him, Meng Xu got a headache for a while, dribbled and broke through by himself, and then created opportunities for his teammates?Isn't this clearly giving the opponent a steal!

"Meng, you are a young man, you have to study more, don't be afraid of hardship, look at Tim, don't you think you need to increase your training a little bit?" Popovich said, put down the tactics board, right hand The thumb and index finger pinched together and gestured in front of Meng Xu's eyes.

"I will, coach." Meng Xu nodded and smiled awkwardly.It turned out that I talked about it for a long time because I thought my training attitude was not good. If I want to practice more, it is not the same if I go back to practice in the system space in advance.However, Meng Xu could only say these words in his heart.
