"Meng, in the last 1 minute, we have at least two more chances to attack, you come and hold the ball, press the time to 20 seconds and shoot." After all the players on the field got off the field, Larry Bird walked directly to Meng Xu's side, without arranging superfluous tactics and no words of encouragement, because Larry Bird knew that at this time, Meng Xu did not need any encouragement or any arrangement, he knew his choice, and he also knew how to deal with it, Meng Xu was a natural killer and a key gentleman with a big heart, especially when he only trusted himself at critical moments. And Larry Bird can only choose to trust and believe in Meng Xu, because he understands that he has no choice other than that, and Larry Bird also knows that Meng Xu will not live up to his trust.

"Everyone else, all pull away, and create every possible opportunity for Meng." After arranging Meng Xu, Larry Bird made a simple deployment to the other players around him.

"Well, I see." After staring at Larry Bird for a few seconds, Meng Xu nodded calmly, at this time of the game, Meng Xu was surprisingly calm, without the slightest nervousness and excitement.

At the last minute, this is the time that belongs to Meng Xu, and it is the stage that belongs to Meng Xu to shine.

"Erwin, what do you say the Lakers and Pacers will arrange for this final minute after the timeout?" As a commentary on the scene, when the two teams played this kind of moment, Michaels was already as excited as the audience on the sidelines, gaining insight into the situation and predicting the direction of the game, Michaels was originally like Magic Johnson, so Michaels was also very sincere to ask Magic Johnson around him for advice.

"The Pacers will definitely choose to press time, and now they are still in the lead, so pressing time and ensuring the success rate of the offense is the safest choice, and the Lakers are likely to do the opposite, but with Shaq on the team, the Lakers can't increase the speed too quickly, maybe the Lakers will use foul tactics at the last moment, which is also possible." Whether it is Larry Bird or Phil Jackson, they are not the kind of coaches like Pat Riley and Nelson Sr. who grow up with tactics and on-the-spot adaptability, especially Phil Jackson, who is a well-known nanny coach, his famous saying is to let the players solve everything on the court, so the Lakers either let O'Neal single or Kobe Bryant single in the final moments. As for Larry Bird, although he has performed very well this season, especially in this year's playoffs, Larry Bird has not left the category of nanny coach, so the Pacers' tactics in the latter moments are also likely to be pulled away by the whole team, allowing Meng Xu to hold the ball and play alone, but looking at the two sides who have been bayoneted and red-eyed on the court, Magic Johnson is not sure that his prediction must be correct.

"Meng, give up struggling, you're doomed." When the Pacers sent out the sideline ball, Meng Xu, who received the ball, retreated to the vicinity of the center circle, and after starting to press the time, Kobe, who was more than a meter away from Meng Xu, used a slightly playful expression to provoke Meng Xu, although Kobe knew that this kind of little trick was useless to Meng Xu, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Kobe would give it a try, in Kobe's dictionary, he never gave up two words.

"Meng Xu has started to start." Just as time passed slowly, Meng Xu dribbled in place near the center circle for more than 15 seconds, Meng Xu took a big step towards the left side of his body, and the Lakers were obviously prepared, the moment Meng Xu started, Rick Fox immediately rushed over to cooperate with Kobe Bryant to clamp Meng Xu, Robert Hawley also immediately ran to the top of the arc, O'Neal also left the basket without hesitation, Meng Xu's style, now the whole league is well known, as long as it is the last moment, he must hold the basketball and not let go, want him to pass the ball? Unless the sun rises in the west.

"Pass, Meng, pass the ball quickly, Meng 。。。。。。" Just after the Lakers players on the court had formed a big net and gradually began to close towards Meng Xu, Lester Connell, the assistant coach on the sidelines, kept whispering while constantly beating his open left hand with his right hand, and the nervousness was self-evident.

"Meng, I hope you don't let me down." Larry Bird, who was next to Lester Connell, put his hands behind his back and looked calm, but his already nervous hands were covered with sweat.

"Meng, you're finished." O'Neal, who had left the basket and occupied the free-throw line, looked at Meng Xu, who was being surrounded by three Lakers players, with a hideous face, even if Meng Xu broke through the bag of the three of them, it would be absolutely impossible for him to pass this hurdle.

At this moment, not only Larry Bird and Lester Connell, but also the Pacers players on the court are anxiously waiting for Meng Xu to pass the ball to him, although they also know that this is basically impossible, but after the Lakers surrounded Meng Xu and O'Neal left the basket again, the entire Lakers' defensive system has been shattered, and for the other 4 Pacers players on the court, their opportunities are now very good.

"Cheng is also Meng Xu, and defeat is also Meng Xu!" Seeing the scene on the field, Magic Johnson on the commentary bench showed a complicated expression, never throwing the pot at critical moments, only believing in himself, which is what Magic Johnson appreciates most about Meng Xu, which is the embodiment of Meng Xu's confidence in his own strength, but now Meng Xu's self-confidence is likely to harm his team.

"This guy is really paranoid, no wonder Kobe Bryant attaches so much importance to him and has to compare with him everywhere." When Meng Xu was surrounded and suppressed by many people, tossing and turning, but there was no intention of passing the ball, Phil Jackson's hanging heart was half of it, because he bet right, at the timeout, when arranging the defensive strategy, Phil Jackson was actually gambling, betting on Meng Xu, a paranoid, is still the same as before, when it comes to the critical moment, he only believes in himself and will not choose to pass the ball to his teammates, and now Phil Jackson is right, Meng Xu is a paranoid, a person who is even more paranoid than Kobe.

"It's not going to be 24 seconds." When Meng Xu dribbled the ball with a very low center of gravity, and constantly changed direction, shuttling through the gap between Kobe, Rick Fox and Robert Hawley, but was blocked by Kobe Bryant, who retreated in time, Michaels' nervous heart on the commentary bench was in his throat.

"Nima." Just when O'Neal also thought that Meng Xu's attack would definitely be 24 seconds away, Meng Xu, who was blocked by Kobe Bryant again, disappeared after a half-turn, and when O'Neal reacted and turned around and threw himself under the basket, the basket not far from him sounded with a loud bang, O'Neal fixed his eyes, Jermaine O'Neal was already hanging on the basket, looking at Jermaine O'Neal, who was two meters away from him, and the group of reporters who were taking pictures frantically behind the basket, O'Neal's heart at the moment, Like thousands of *** whistling by, I must be a background board.

"Ah。。。。。。h Jermaine O'Neal, who fell from the air, waved his arms, slapped his chest while raising his head, and roared loudly, Jermaine O'Neal, who had been abused by O'Neal for a whole series, finally found an opportunity to vent, after venting his emotions with a roar, the corners of Jermaine O'Neal's eyes were a little moist, in this round of the series, how much psychological pressure Jermaine O'Neal beared, only he knows, although even if this dunk is added, Jermaine O'Neal only scored 14 points and 9 rebounds in this game, compared with O'Neal with 29 points and 18 rebounds, which is not worth mentioning, but this key dunk, Jermaine O'Neal's only dunk in this game, was enough to sweep away all the gloom that hung over his heart.

With 44 seconds left in the game, 99-95, Jermaine O'Neal's dunk helped the Pacers extend their lead to four points again.

Just when Jermaine O'Neal was still venting the thrill of dunking, Rick Fox quickly sent out the baseline ball, and Fisher, who received the ball, found Kobe Bryant directly with a long pass, looking at Kobe Bryant who accelerated to the front court, Meng Xu, who was retreating, immediately chased after Kobe, and finally before Kobe Bryant reached the top of the arc, Meng Xu successfully blocked Kobe Bryant, but Kobe did not give up the offense because of this, stayed in place and waited for the assistance of his teammates, but after two small actions in a row, a sudden small change of direction, Thrown out of Meng Xu's position, Kobe, who had an opportunity, did not hesitate to shoot directly with 3 points, and the whole process took only 8 seconds, Kobe Bryant completed the attack, 99-98, with 36 seconds left.

"Cold-blooded killer!"
