Chapter 160: Advance to the Finals
"Lore, lore, and lore, Meng Xu's 3-point lore, 100-102, the Spurs defeated the Trailblazers at home." When Michaels shouted this series of words hoarsely, the entire Alamo Sports Hall fell into a frenzy.
When the picture of Meng Xu's lore killing the pioneer was transmitted to China through the live broadcast satellite a few minutes later, the commentator of the CCAV sports channel, Mr. Zhang Lili, also changed his previous calmness and wit, and became a little incoherent. In this much-anticipated game, Meng Xu did not disappoint, did not disappoint the thousands of fans who were following him in China.
"Meng, what you did was so beautiful, I knew you would definitely vote." When Meng Xu hit the shot, Mario Elie was the first to pounce, although he also shot a lot of key shots in his career, especially the kiss of death, which made him famous, so Mario Elie is also known as a player with a big heart and a key man. But Mario Eli feels that compared to himself, this little guy deserves the title of Mr. Key, in just one season, he has already shot 5 kills, and all 5 kills have not missed, which is undoubtedly a very remarkable achievement, you must know that even the god of basketball has times when he misses the kill.
"What a special player." When Meng Xu hit the killer ball, Magic Johnson was also shocked, and at the same time, there was a trace of respect and envy in his eyes when he looked at Popovich. Knowing that the Trail Blazers would wrap Meng Xu, he still let Meng Xu carry out this last shot, and let Duncan, the strongest player in the Spurs, cover for Meng Xu, Popovich's trust in Meng Xu's strength, and this trust in Meng Xu's critical moment, made Magic Johnson a little ashamed, at least he couldn't trust a player like Popovich, even his old partner Abdul-Jabbar, Magic couldn't do this kind of unconditional trust, let alone a rookie.
Although he once served as the head coach of the Lakers, but in that fish belly Lakers team, the Magic did not find a player who met his tactical requirements at all, and after his proposed trade was rejected by Jerry West, the Magic was furious and submitted his resignation report to the club after only one month as the head coach of the Lakers. Thinking of this, the Magic also looked at Popovich on the sidelines with envy, if he was the head coach of this team, he would definitely be able to bring them to the finals, right?
"The game is over, the Spurs won at home against the Trail Blazers, and the big score of this series is 3-1, the Spurs and Trail Blazers players are very good, but there can only be one winner of a game, congratulations to the Spurs, congratulations to them on the final victory." Magic Johnson's words also ended the game.
。。。。。
Perhaps it was Meng Xu's stunner to knock out the last trace of heart, when May 31, in the Trail Blazers' home Moda Center, there was no suspense, and there was no struggle, 76-90, the Trail Blazers lost the last home of the season very simply, the whole game, the Trail Blazers players were a little absent-minded, maybe they were already thinking about where to go for the next day. And for the fans of the entire Moda Center, this game is undoubtedly an ordeal, compared to the confidence before the start of the series, this round of the series undoubtedly broke the hearts of these fans again, but few people left the game early, until the end of the game, these fans are still reluctant to leave the Moda Center, because in the hearts of many fans, they still don't want to believe that this is real, they don't want to believe that their team was blocked from the finals again, and even many fans on the scene have covered their mouths and cried.
"Senior, we won." The moment the whistle blew at the end of the game, Meng Xu rushed to Duncan's side and shouted frantically. It was a fantastic scenario to follow the team to the Finals in their rookie season.
"The finals, we're here." The Spurs players, under the leadership of assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, began a crazy celebration at the home of the Trail Blazers, celebrating that the Spurs had once again entered the Finals, at this time almost all the players of the Spurs were very excited, this round of the series including the entire playoffs, it can be said that a lot of things have been laid, Mario Elli and Sean Elliott, these old players, have once again proved themselves in this series of games. Through the series with the Lakers Trail Blazers, Meng Xu has gradually become the outside core of the Spurs, and has become the player in the current Spurs team whose tactical status is second only to Duncan. And Duncan is only one step away from his goal of being the first person in the league, if he can defend the championship and the MVP of the Finals, then Duncan will be the undisputed first person in the league in his third season in the league, and achieve the goal he set when he entered the league in advance.
When the Trail Blazers players have walked into the player tunnel, and the fans on the sidelines have begun to slowly exit the court, Scottie Pippen squatted down, constantly stroking the floor of the Moda Center, for Pippen, perhaps this is his last trip to the division finals, after the failure to hit the championship again this season, the Trail Blazers, the local tyrant division, is likely to face the fate of falling apart, because the Trail Blazers' local tyrant owner Paul Allen has completely lost confidence in Mike Dunwiley, And this season is his last chance. After a losing season and Mike Dunwiley's departure, the Trail Blazers are likely to face the fate of rebuilding again.
And Mike Dunveley sat on the bench, staring directly at the Spurs players celebrating on the court, his eyes swept around the court, maybe the next time he was at the Moda Center, Mike Dunwilly would be an ordinary spectator, or an enemy of the Trail Blazers. After coaching the Trail Blazers for 3 years, Mike Dunwilly undoubtedly has a deep affection for this team he has built.
"Meng, congratulations." Pippen walked to Meng Xu's side and congratulated Meng Xu. At his age, he is still following Michael to break out of the East, and this little guy may soon taste the taste of the championship, and when he thinks of this, Pippen feels a little envious of him.
"Thank you, Scottie, you're a great player, I've learned a lot in this series, thank you." Through this round of the series, Meng Xu has sincere admiration for Pippen, this is a great player, and in this round of the series, Meng Xu has always had a feeling that Pippen is no different from the legendary players in the system who teach their skills, and they all use their words and deeds to make Meng Xu better.
"I hope you can find your way as soon as possible to meet greater challenges." Patting Meng Xu on the shoulder, Pippen turned and left.
