"Thank you." Just after Meng Xu pulled Iverson up, Iverson patted Meng Xu's back to show his gratitude, but Iverson's next words made Meng Xu a little embarrassed; "I don't want to, but I still want to say to you, rookie, welcome to the NBA."

After Iverson broke through the next 3 consecutive times to no avail, he gave up the idea of attacking the basket, and began to choose the offensive tactics of shooting in the middle and long distances, as well as breaking through the free throw line area. Iverson also consumed a lot of physical strength, and if he continued to play like this, he was afraid that he would have exhausted his physical strength before the fourth quarter. It's just that Iverson doesn't know that these defenses against Iverson also cost Meng Xu a lot of physical strength, and Meng Xu is barely supported by the effect of his skills, in fact, after Iverson's last breakthrough, Meng Xu has been shaken, and the moment he lost his defensive target, Meng Xu almost sat on the ground.

"yes, that's it, that's the defense I want, that's the Spurs I want." Watching Duncan and Robinson sit under the basket, Meng Xu swept the entire area from below the 3-point line to the free throw line, almost making the Spurs' half-court defense airtight, Popovich also shouted excitedly, completely ignoring the special eyes of the audience behind him looking at him. Although many of Meng Xu's defensive choices are a little reckless in Popovich's opinion, especially when Meng Xu wanted to break the basketball in Iverson's hand, not only failed to steal Iverson, but was also taken advantage of by Iverson, these are Meng Xu's lack of defensive experience, and he still seems a little reckless on the court, but Meng Xu again and again relied on his accurate prediction, excellent movement speed, and super long arm span, and when he successfully filled the position again and again, Popovich couldn't help but be amazed.

"The Spurs' defense is simply suffocating, their defense is horrible, in the second half of the second quarter, the Spurs beat the 76ers 15-3, and now the difference has widened to 10 points." After seeing the Spurs successfully freeze Iverson, Michaels also sighed as above.

"If only I had two players like that in my team." Although his team was in a slight position and was pressed by the Spurs on the court, Larry Brown still did not call a timeout, but kept staring at Duncan and Meng Xu on the court, looking at the excited Popovich on the opposite side, with a look of envy in his eyes. Larry Brown is a coach who is good at defense, and he famously says, "Play the right way." "For Larry Brown's team, you can have no superstars, or even no superstars, but you can't have no defense, no team. Larry Brown has always liked players who play hard, know how to work as a team and work hard defensively. It can be said that none of the players in the 76ers fully meet the above requirements, but there are two Spurs opposite them, players who meet all their requirements, for a coach, it is definitely a happy thing to be able to coach teams and players that meet their tactical requirements, but it is a pity that the players who meet their own requirements are opposite. Putting away his thoughts, Larry Brown looked at Todd McCloche, a rookie on the bench, and then remembered the No. 16 pick that was traded to the Bulls, and shook his head in disappointment.

"The Spurs' No. 5 rookie defense is really good, although his stats are only 0 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal so far, but his contribution on the court is by no means just reflected in these stats, his close defense reminds me of a person." At the end of the half, Michaels took the data sheet of the first half and kept praising Meng Xu's defense.

"Is it Scott Pippen?" Another narrator asked.

"Yes, his reach and the speed at which he moves reminds me of Pippen in his prime, but his close quarters are more like Gary Payton. The only thing he's missing now is game experience. Michaels exclaimed.

"Yes, the defense he showed in this game was absolutely historic." Another commentator also chimed in.

After the start of the second half, the Spurs replaced all the main players except Meng Xu, and the main players of 76 played all the games, wanting to take advantage of the Spurs' main rest to move back to the score as soon as possible.

After the start of the game, Meng Xu suddenly found that Iverson no longer controlled the ball, and began to run without the ball and play hide and seek with himself, and the person who replaced Iverson to control the ball became the 76ers' genuine point guard Eric Snow, as a ball-controlled back Eric Snow, the ball control is also quite skillful, although under normal circumstances, Eric Snow is only responsible for dribbling the ball over the half court and handing it to Iverson. In the face of the Spurs' bench, the 76ers are still patiently playing positional battles, Eric Snow quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, the 76ers' tactics in the past were based on Iverson as the tactical starting point, no matter who controls the ball, as long as it is over halftime, it will be handed over to Iverson as soon as possible, but this time, Eric Snow watched the team's boss Iverson playing without the ball with Meng Xu, and did not mean to ask for the ball at all. Eric Snow had to find a way to create opportunities by himself, and after two consecutive shots and catches, Eric Snow found that Iverson had gotten rid of Meng Xu through a block, perhaps due to the inertia that had been all along, Eric Snow subconsciously passed the ball to Iverson, who was almost empty.

As soon as the basketball was passed, something happened to Eric Snow, because the basketball suddenly changed direction, and at some point Meng Xu suddenly rushed out of his side and directly cut off the pass. Originally, Meng Xu was defending Iverson, but when Iverson got rid of himself, Johnson replaced himself to defend Iverson, and Johnson's defensive object Eric Snow became Meng Xu to defend.

Maybe Eric Snow's passing speed is relatively slow, after perceiving Eric Snow's passing route, Meng Xu subconsciously reached out and fished a handful, after breaking the ball, Meng Xu ignored the teammates behind him who were stunned or cheering, and directly dribbled the ball to the 76ers' half court at the fastest speed, although Meng Xu's ball control ability was a little poor, and he almost lost the ball in the middle of the fast break, and finally Meng Xu still got a gliding dunk and got a blood of his NBA career.

When Meng Xu dunked the ball and turned around to celebrate with his teammates, the entire Alamo Stadium was also detonated, and Eric Snow looked at Meng Xu who was celebrating in disbelief, racking his brains and thinking about it carefully, wanting to know how he was stealed by him just now.

After being stolen by Meng Xu this time, as a veteran who has been in the league for 5 years and has nearly 30 playoff experience, Eric Snow can be said to be more cautious, but when Eric Snow saw Iverson who was empty again, and passed the ball out without hesitation, Eric Snow almost collapsed, and at the moment when the basketball just left his hand, Meng Xu directly caught his pass, which was directly captured, as if this ball was deliberately passed to Meng Xu.

At the moment when Eric Snow came back to his senses, Meng Xu hung on the basket again, "Impossible, impossible, how could he judge my passing route." Eric Snow shouted in his heart, his legs already shaking with anger.
