Chapter 777: Thoughts

"It looks like both sides are very aware of the importance of today's game!"

As the referee on duty blew the whistle for the start of the game, the players on both sides of the court quickly entered the game, and at the moment when Darko Milicic won the opening jump ball, the surrounding Lakers players, Pau Gasol and Ramar Odom quickly retreated to the basket, Derrick Fisher, who was responsible for delaying and slowing down the Pacers' offensive rhythm, also pounced on the Pacers' point guard Tony Allen at the first time, as for Ron Artest, who vowed to defend Meng Xu before the game, At the moment when the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, he pounced directly on Meng Xu's side, and began to guard Meng Xu in the backcourt.

Although Derrick Fisher's defense after the opening was very tough, Fisher is not a defensive titan like Gary Payton and Tony Allen after all, and it is not easy to rely on tight defense to interrupt the dribbling rhythm of the opponent's point guard, or even complete a steal in the press, so Tony Allen still resisted Derrick Fisher's defense, advanced to the front court with the ball, and then successfully handed the basketball into the hands of Meng Xu.

Just when Ron Artest gritted his teeth and clung to Meng Xu, Jermaine O'Neal, who had been waiting near the free throw line, quickly pulled up, and after a simple blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, Ron Artest could only watch Meng Xu get the opportunity to misplace and single Ramar Odom.

A feint, after getting rid of Ron Artest's sticky defense, Meng Xu easily shook off Ramar Odom's defense with only one feint, and then accelerated towards the basket.

"God, is Meng going to dunk this time? In front of him stood Pau Gasol. When Meng Xu rushed to a position about one meter below the free throw line, and then jumped up directly, Michaels and Magic Johnson on the sideline commentary bench had only one thought at this moment, that is, Meng Xu's actions were too crazy.

And after Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal finished blocking and dismantling, they gave up the defense of Darko Milicic and retreated to the basket Paul Gasol, who was also a little hesitant at the moment, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him, in the first few games, as long as Pau Gasol retreated to the basket in time, Meng Xu would pass the basketball in his hand, so when he retreated this time, Pau Gasol did not think about how to deal with this problem in case Meng Xu attacked.

Just when Pau Gasol was still thinking about how to deal with it, he saw a figure wearing a yellow and white jersey getting closer and closer to him, and Pau Gasol, who subconsciously jumped up, instantly felt a huge force hit his body.

There was a loud bang, and Pau Gasol, who was still in the air, felt his head buzz, and then it went blank, leaving only a little residual consciousness to keep muttering, I was blocked, I was blocked.

Often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, every player who plays inside in the NBA must have the consciousness of being a background board, being dunked or even ridden, Tim Duncan and Shaq O'Neal as a background board The short video can be edited for several hours, so it is not a big deal for Pau Gasol to be dunked by Meng Xu, maybe after this game, everyone will talk a little bit about Pau Gasol being ridden by Meng Xu, as for the time game, who can remember this kind of small thing.

But for Pau Gasol, the party who was blocked, this result will not be able to let go for a while, so Pau Gasol, who fell from the air, also had a trance on his face, and even the referee on duty blew the whistle of his defensive foul, Pau Gasol did not hear it.

After Meng Xu blocked Pau Gasol, the Staples Center, which was still shouting about defense just now, immediately fell into a brief silence, whether it was the audience at the scene or the substitute players on the Lakers bench, they all looked at Pau Gasol who was still standing under the basket at a loss with a sympathetic expression.

After a while, I don't know who took the lead, the audience at the Staples Center resounded with sparse applause and cheers, as the entertainment capital of the United States, and a very critical Finals, it is natural that all the Lakers fans who came to the Staples Center to watch the game could not be all Lakers fans, but the applause and cheers around were extremely harsh for the Lakers players on the court.

"Bastard, do you dare to go it alone with me?" Pau Gasol was blocked and whistled for a defensive foul, so the Lakers players who reacted are now angry, some are looking for referee theories, and some rush over to "angrily" reprimand" Meng Xu.

"What, Ron, I didn't hear what you just said, can you say it again?" Seeing Ron Artest, who was about to rush in front of him, Meng Xu stretched out his hand to his ear to listen, and motioned Artest to repeat what he had just said.

"You bastard, what kind of ability is it to block and dismantle, that's something that only girls can play, and it's kind of one-on-one with me!" Artest, who has always kept a safe distance from Meng Xu, after hearing Meng Xu's sarcasm, also ran forward a small step forward without showing weakness, angrily reprimanding Meng Xu's "weak" behavior.

"Ron, I really didn't expect you to make such a request, well, I'll meet your special request next." Artest took a step forward, and Meng Xu also took a step forward, but what Meng Xu didn't expect was that after Meng Xu took a step forward, Artest took a step back slightly, but there was still an angry expression on his face, looking at death as if he were at home.

"Then we'll see." After reprimanding Meng Xu again, Artest was "dragged" away from Meng Xu by his teammates, and before the referee could intervene, a conflict that was about to break out disappeared in an instant.

Offensive and defensive switching, the Lakers players on the court, from the boss Kobe Bryant to the point guard Derrick Fisher, are creating opportunities for Pau Gasol, hoping that he can hit a shot back on the offensive end, which is also one of the unspoken rules of the NBA, but Paul Gasol, who is still in a trance, not only failed to score this goal, but was directly blocked by Meng Xu, who rushed over to help defend, when he completed the back turn and shot.

"What the hell is this kid doing?" Looking at Meng Xu, who shook his finger at Pau Gasol at the risk of being whistled for a technical foul after blocking Paul Gasol, Magic Johnson couldn't understand what Meng Xu was doing for a while.

After Meng Xu shook his finger at Pau Gasol, the referee on the side immediately ran over and blew Meng Xu for a technical foul, but what is intriguing is that Meng Xu, who was blown a technical foul, not only did not have any frustration, but also did not reason with the referee, but looked at Pau Gasol with a smile on his face.

"This guy is getting bolder." Looking at Meng Xu, who was smiling, and the Pacers bench, who was already smiling, an idea suddenly rose in Reggie Miller's heart.
