At halftime, the Washington Royals took the lead by ......

In the locker room of the Fortune Players in New York, the atmosphere was solemn......

Meng Xiaohao was still wrong, and with five and a half minutes left in the second quarter, the Washington Royals fouled, sent Adrick to the free throw line, and then sent Lucas on the court.

I don't know if it was Lucas himself or the coach of the Royal team, anyway, Lucas returned to the court, which made Meng Xiaohao feel a little bad.

Facts have proved that this time Meng Xiaohao thought right, Lucas returned to the court, and his performance could no longer be described as excellent, but only terrifying, with that sharp offense and solid defense, Lucas led the Washington Royals to chase the score with his own strength.

Everyone was shocked by Lucas, Lucas was a perverted existence in this game, at halftime, he had already scored 20 points, and even had a shot that directly ignored the defense of the two, and shot it outside the three-point line, not only throwing, but also causing three plus one, and then Lucas hit a free throw and scored four points successfully.

This fairy scored a goal, and everyone present was dumbfounded.

Coach Garcia thought about the countermeasures, this Lucas's adaptability is really good, the defensive pressure put on him, he only took less than two quarters to adapt to this defense, and find gaps in it to attack and transmit.

"It's not the way to go on like this!" Coach Garcia sighed, "Boys, we're going to change our defensive strategy, we can't let Lucas do whatever he wants anymore!" ”

Everyone nodded, Lucas had put a lot of pressure on them, and under his tandem, the Washington Royals formed a perfect comeback.

"Coach! I'll defend him! At this time, Meng Xiaohao stood up, "Coach! Leave it to me, I think I have the confidence to guard against him! ”

Coach Garcia looked at Meng Xiaohao and hesitated, "Are you sure?" He's in great shape right now, are you sure you can do it? ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded, "I believe I can do it, I will do my best to do it, if I can't, then ask the coach to change me!" ”

Coach Garcia nodded, and Meng Xiaohao's volunteering still made Coach Garcia very satisfied, "That's good!" It's up to you to play at the start of the third quarter! Hope you have a good performance! ”

Meng Xiaohao smiled happily, but he still felt an unfriendly aura, but Meng Xiaohao didn't need to look at it to know that the unfriendly aura came from the starting point guard of the Fortune team.

Meng Xiaohao didn't care about his unfriendliness, the top priority now is to defend Lucas, so since the starting point guard can't do it, wouldn't it be natural for him to do it himself, and now Meng Xiaohao has no time to discuss with him about playing time and playing order.

……

The third quarter begins......

Meng Xiaohao and Lucas were both on the court, and the conversation between the two rookies was staged again, making the audience cheer.

Meng Xiaohao came to the front court with the ball, he knew that if he wanted to defend against Lucas, he had to score first, and if he couldn't score, then the defense couldn't defend it either.

So Meng Xiaohao passed the ball out, and in the face of Lucas, the offense of running without the ball should be easier to play and easier to play than attacking with the ball.

Meng Xiaohao hung Lucas on the block through his off-ball run, and then went around and ran out of an open space.

Meng Xiaohao caught the ball steadily, saw that Lucas was still two steps away from him, smiled slightly, and shot directly outside the three-point line. But unexpectedly...... The ball bounced off the basket and bounced off the basket......

"Iron?" Meng Xiaohao looked at this ball incredulously, he didn't expect that he could hit the iron with such a big vacancy!

But Meng Xiaohao didn't have time to think about anything else, because Lucas had already picked up the pace and started to fight back.

Meng Xiaohao followed Lucas closely, and in front of Lucas, he had to face Adrick, who had already successfully retreated, with an ambush in front and a chasing soldier in the back, which was obviously not a very suitable layup opportunity for Lucas.

But Lucas didn't choose to pass the ball out, he chose to directly resist Adrick, and then make a layup, his intention may be to create a foul on Adrick.

But unexpectedly, the referee did not blow the whistle, and at this time, Meng Xiaohao had already rushed to the ......

"Bang!"

Hearing a muffled sound, Meng Xiaohao fanned the ball out fiercely, and the ball that was fanned out happened to hit the face of a player of the Royal Team, and then popped out of bounds, and the ball was owned by the Fortune Team.

After Meng Xiaohao finished covering his hat, he patted the muscles on his arm to respond to the home fans who were provoking him, completely ignoring his palm, which was a little painful because he used it too violently.

But the player of the Royal Team who was smashed did not smash the basketball on his nose like Meng Xiaohao, although the nose was not a big problem, but this pain was enough for him to drink two pots.

Lucas, on the other hand, approached the referee and came to the referee to theorize, and he thought that Adric's shot was obviously slapped on his arm and should have been a shooting foul. But the referee insisted on not clapping his hands and ignored Lucas's words, which made Lucas sigh.

Fortune Player's Ball ......

Meng Xiaohao held the ball for half the court, facing Lucas's defense, Meng Xiaohao's chaser hat against him just now, it seems that Lucas is deeply in his heart, and now even Lucas looks at Meng Xiaohao's expression, it is a momentum that wants to eat Meng Xiaohao, which makes Meng Xiaohao feel a little chill behind him.

After Meng Xiaohao stepped down a few times to dribble, he turned around one and a half, and then turned back, intending to shoot a backward jumper.

But Lucas had obviously anticipated what Meng Xiaohao wanted to do, he jumped earlier than Meng Xiaohao's time, and directly covered Meng Xiaohao's ball from his hand.

But the Fortune quarterback caught the ball that was covered......

At this time, Meng Xiaohao's basketball talent was revealed, he still wanted to fight for the gap of the ball in Lucas, and ran directly in front of Lucas, and the quarterback also understood, and directly made a pass and hoisted the ball to Meng Xiaohao.

When Meng Xiaohao received the ball, he had already come to the basket, and he felt the momentum of the center of the Royal team behind him, so Meng Xiaohao did not choose to play strongly, but passed the ball to the center without looking at people, and the center hit it forcibly and made a layup.

The corners of Meng Xiaohao's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Lucas, and Lucas also looked at him coldly, Meng Xiaohao knew that in this round of the game, he had won.

In the next few minutes, it was completely a battle between two rookies, Lucas and Meng Xiaohao, who both showed their form to the fullest, and Lucas's offensive talent was fully displayed......

The audience at the scene saw the two rookies fighting there, and they all let out bursts of exclamations, but more exclamations were for Meng Xiaohao, at first they didn't think that Meng Xiaohao could be comparable to Lucas, but now it seems that Meng Xiaohao's strength is definitely not worse than Lucas.

Meng Xiaohao has long wanted to have a good fight with Lucas, and Lucas also wants to compete with Meng Xiaohao, so the more the two sides fight, the more excited they become......

The two of them showed their individual offense, defense, conduction and overall view, and their competition was not just bullfighting, heads-up, but all-round competition.

Although it was still Lucas who had the upper hand, Meng Xiaohao was definitely not suppressed, but only slightly. Similarly, Meng Xiaohao also made Lucas very uncomfortable, and Meng Xiao's gummy defense made Lucas very uncomfortable.

In this way, the two played the third quarter, which was the longest professional game Meng Xiaohao played......

After the end of the third quarter, the score of the New York Fortune and Washington Royals was 86-83.

Although Meng Xiaohao is not as high as Lucas in terms of single scores, the team is in a leading state, and it is not a loss.

And the fourth quarter is coming......
