Legendary star

Chapter 95 Crazy Meng Xu (1)

Meng Xu's dunk from the free throw line after the opening game boosted the morale of the Spurs, but it did not hit the Suns players. Instead, it aroused their anger. After all, in their hearts, they wanted to win the game and even reverse the Spurs. Yes, if you are scared by just a dunk, then don't play, just surrender.

"It's a beautiful dunk." For Meng Xu's fast-break dunk, the head coach of the Suns, Scott Skiles, was not displeased. Too rare.And the most important point is that the weapons that the Suns have always relied on are speed and shooting. In the previous two games, the Suns could not get up no matter what. In order to limit the rhythm of the Suns, the Spurs have been slowing down to fight the Suns. They didn't even launch a fast break after stealing the ball. The Spurs didn't have a fast break in the two games. Because of this, the pace of the game was pulled very slowly, and the Suns couldn't run and bomb.Whether it was intentional or not, Meng Xu's fast break is a good signal to the sun. It is not afraid that you will be fast, but that you will not be fast.

In the next few rounds, Kidd and Hardaway both desperately rushed to the inside of the Spurs, trying to fight back, but the effect was obviously not very good.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Avery Johnson dribbled the ball to attack. Under the pressure of Jason Kidd, Avery Johnson made a mistake. After Kidd made a steal, he dribbled straight to the Spurs' half. Launched a fast break for the second time.

Meng Xu and Hardaway, who were still entangled with each other, left each other tacitly after seeing Kidd's fast break, and went to chase Kidd at the same time.

The running of the Suns was really amazing. When the two Suns players Kidd and Hardaway had already rushed into the 3-point line, the Spurs, except for Meng Xu, a bunch of old guys, hadn't retreated to the center line.

When Kidd dribbled the ball near the free throw line, Meng Xu chased after him. Shocked by Meng Xu's speed, Kidd glanced at the nearby teammates from the corner of his eye. You must know that Meng Xu is the best defensive player this year , I have suffered from him in the regular season. If it is one-on-one, Kidd has no confidence at all. Fortunately, after Meng Xu retreated and returned, Hardaway also rushed over.

Seeing that Kidd didn't intend to force the shot, Meng Xu also glanced at Hardaway behind him very vigilantly. The moment Meng Xu turned his head, the basketball in Kidd's hand flew out.

Feeling a gust of wind blowing under his crotch, Meng Xu instantly understood what happened. After catching the ball, Hardaway turned around and wanted to dunk.

After taking two steps forward, Hardaway jumped up, and when he was about to press the basketball in his hand into the basket, he found a figure flying directly from his side.

"What!" Facing Meng Xu's block, Hardaway, who originally wanted to dunk, had to change his posture in the air. After pulling the bar, Hardaway threw the basketball in his hand to the basket before losing his balance. , and Meng Xu, who took off before him and was flashed by him in the air and had already landed, jumped up again very quickly at this time, covering his throw very easily.

The basketball blocked by Meng Xu did not fly out of Taiyuan, but was picked up by Kidd. Just as Meng Xu had just landed, Kidd took a step forward and jumped up.Meng Xu, who had just blocked Hardaway, rushed over without making any adjustments.

With a "bang", Meng Xu and Kidd collided in the air, and the basketball in Kidd's hand was slapped out of the baseline by Meng Xu. Under the huge impact, Kidd, who lost his balance, fell heavily on the ground. on the ground.

"This kid from the Spurs is really scary." The guest commentator for this game is Barkley, who just retired this season. After retiring due to injury this season, Barkley accepted TNT's invitation to serve as a live commentator.In this game, the Suns also specially invited Barkley as the commentator of this game.

"When did Meng have such excellent physical fitness?" Not only Barkley, but even Popovich was shocked by Meng Xu's performance on the court. The most important thing is that Meng Xu took off three times in a row in less than 5 seconds. It is hard to imagine that a person of yellow race can have such a fast bullet speed.

"Want to dunk? Did you ask me?" Seeing Kidd getting up from the ground, Meng Xu shouted loudly.

Kidd looked helplessly at Meng Xu with a livid face, and put his hands on his hips.

Sean Marion sent the baseline ball. After a circle, the basketball came to Kevin Johnson's hands. He glanced at the timing card. There were 6 seconds left in the attack, and Kevin Johnson decided to attack the ball himself.

Kevin Johnson easily got rid of Mario Elli with the ball and rushed to the edge of the penalty area. Meng Xu, who was supposed to defend Hardaway, blocked Kevin Johnson at some point.

Kevin Johnson, who is less than 1 meters tall, has no advantage over Meng Xu, but he is also a former All-Star. Relying on his rich game experience, after making a breakthrough move, Kevin Johnson has continuously After being shaken 9 times, Meng Xu finally jumped up.

Seeing Meng Xu start to land from the air, Kevin Johnson took off calmly. Just when Kevin Johnson reached the apex of his jump height and the basketball came out, Meng Xu, who had just landed, jumped up again. He was less than 190 meters tall. , Kevin Johnson, who is 35 years old this year, naturally has a jump height that cannot be compared with Meng Xu. Meng Xu slammed the basketball in the air like a fly.

"This game is going to be over for the Suns." Barkley, who once was the leader of the Suns and now holds the title of Suns star, looked at the situation on the court and said bluntly, shaking his head.

Not to mention Barkley at this time, even the players on the Suns field had their winning mentality shaken before the game. So far, the Suns have only scored two points.

Seeing that the mentality of the players on the field was a little low, Scott Skiles immediately called a timeout.

"Meng, your performance just now was great." Immediately after the game, Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer ran to Meng Xu, praised Meng Xu, and handed Meng Xu a glass of water.

When the Spurs players returned to the bench, except for Duncan who was as expressionless as ever, everyone else was very excited, even the few players on the bench. In less than 4 minutes of performance, the Spurs swept the Suns with ease. In less than 12 minutes of the game, the Spurs led the Suns by 2 to 10 by as much as [-] points.

"It seems that this kid can take on more responsibilities, and maybe we can go further this season." Compared with the excited players and team staff, Popovich is much calmer, now Popovich is already thinking about how to add burden to Meng Xu in the following games.
