Chapter 450: The Next Dominating Player

"Erwin, I swear, this picture just now will definitely become the most classic picture in NBA history, and Meng Gang's dunk just now is definitely the greatest dunk this season!" Although Meng Xu's dunk just now was very reluctant, perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as a layup, but under the joint blocking of Duncan and David Robinson, Meng Xu forcibly knocked out a gap between the two and put the basketball in his hand into the basket, which was shocking enough.

"Is this guy still human?" Looking at Meng Xu, who fell from the air and fell to the ground after putting the basketball into the basket, as well as David Robinson, who was knocked in the air and stumbled in the air, and obviously lost his balance after landing, and Duncan, who covered his right shoulder after landing, at this moment, not only the players on the court, the players on the sidelines, reporters, and everyone in the entire SBC center, they all have only one idea now, that is, how did Meng Xu do it just now? With one against two, and Duncan and David Robinson, in the end, it was successful!

"MENG, YOU'RE TAITAM AMAZING, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID JUST NOW? You alone won Duncan and Robinson, and you TAM is my idol. After a short silence, Jermaine O'Neal, who was closest to Meng Xu, immediately rushed over, first reached out and pulled up Meng Xu who was lying on the ground, and then hugged Meng Xu, shouting frantically. Punching Duncan, kicking O'Neal, and becoming the best player in the entire league has always been Jermaine O'Neal's dream, but Jermaine O'Neal, who has been in the league for seven seasons, has always been at a disadvantage when facing Duncan and O'Neal, and was wantonly kneaded by those two guys, although he was full of resentment, but he couldn't do anything. And now, when Jermaine O'Neal watched Meng Xu in the air, he forced a gap between David Robinson and Duncan, and hit a layup, this feeling was as if he had dunked Duncan, and even the anger that he had been abused by Duncan for so long was all gone.

Just after Jermaine O'Neal began to shout in celebration, the other Pacers players on the court also came to their senses, and they directly rushed over to surround Meng Xu, not only them, but the entire SBC center was in a riot in an instant, but at this moment, there was no cheering or boos in the SBC center, and the atmosphere in the SBC center looked so weird.

"The turning point in this game has arrived, maybe Spurs don't have a chance." Meng Xu's offense this time is not just as simple as getting two points, Meng Xu hit a layup, but also caused David Robinson's foul, in the case of more than 7 minutes of game time, David Robinson, who has accumulated 5 fouls, must be off, after David Robinson is off the court, the situation on the court will become more and more unfavorable to the Spurs, and at the same time, Meng Xu's success in the face of Duncan and David Robinson this time will boost the morale and fighting spirit of the Pacers, and it will also greatly hit the fighting spirit of the Spurs.

When Meng Xu walked to the free throw line, Popovich called a timeout, this timeout was less than 20 seconds after the last timeout, Popovich was really helpless at the moment, David Robinson, who had 5 fouls, had to rest and wait for the time to prepare for the final game. And several Spurs players on the court, except for Duncan, who was expressionless as always, the depression on the faces of several other people could even be felt by Popovich on the sidelines, and Popovich had to adjust the lineup on the court, and by the way, find a way to boost their fighting spirit and morale. The next few minutes, for the Spurs, is undoubtedly the most critical minutes, as long as they can grit their teeth in these minutes, then the Spurs still have the hope of winning, otherwise they will be greeted by a thousand miles of collapse, for today's game, Popovich is absolutely unwilling to lose like this.

But having said that, after the timeout, under the pressure of the Pacers' increasingly suffocation, the Spurs obviously couldn't hold on, but the bad things didn't stop there, Duncan received another foul in an assist defense before the official timeout came in the fourth quarter, which is tantamount to adding insult to the Spurs' current bad situation.

"God, who's going to stop him!" As soon as the game began in the second half of the fourth quarter, Sean Elliott in the commentary box put his hands on his head. David Robinson, who had just come on the court, graduated with six fouls, and this time it was Meng Xu's breakthrough, squeezing out of Bowen's defensive Meng Xu, rushing directly into the interior with the ball, and pulling out from under the basket to make up for David Robinson, although the range of action has been well controlled, the referee still blew David Robinson's defensive foul. An unwilling David Robinson rushed over to theorize with the referee, hoping that the referee could change the decision, but nothing could be changed.

"Meng's performance today is incredible, it's hard to imagine that an outside player can have such lethality, if it weren't for watching this game live, I would have thought it was Shaq wearing the Pacers No. 5. Thankfully, there was no need for overtime in this game, otherwise all of Spurs' interior players would have been penalized! After David Robinson went off the court, Kevin Willis, who came off the bench, only lasted one minute and graduated with six fouls, and so far in the game, the Spurs' four interior lines have accumulated 23 fouls, two of which have graduated with six fouls, and Popovich's hoarding of interior lines to deal with O'Neal has been used here before the playoffs against the Lakers.

"yes, I really didn't expect the Spurs to face a situation where there is no interior available in the game against the Pacers, and the last time they were so embarrassed was in the playoffs with the Lakers, when they were crazy about fouling O'Neal. Meng Xu's ability to make fouls is definitely underestimated, if there were still people who questioned Meng Xu's average of 8 free throws per game, it was the league's intention to take care of Meng Xu, and it was because of the superstar whistle, then I think from today's game, this doubt should disappear completely. ”

"Maybe from today, the league will have another dominant player." Meng Xu's performance today is both unexpected and surprising for Magic Johnson, and the surprise is that Meng Xu is neither the next Larry Bird nor the next Magician, but the next Jordan, although Meng Xu's playing style is very different from Jordan, but Meng Xu's growth trajectory is so similar to Jordan. Surprisingly, after Jordan and O'Neal, this league is about to usher in another dominant player, although Meng Xu was strong in the past, there is still a big gap from a dominant player like O'Neal, not to mention compared with Jordan who is wearing the No. 23 jersey of God, and after today, Meng Xu is really on the same level as O'Neal, compared to O'Neal, who has entered the peak of his career, Meng Xu is very likely to reach the realm of Jordan, after all, Meng Xu is only 22 years old this year, There's still a lot of room for upside.

After Magic Johnson's voice just fell, Meng Xu rushed to the basket with the ball again, after David Robinson and Kevin Willis all six fouls graduated, Duncan became the only barrier under the Spurs' basket, and the last barrier, so Duncan and Meng Xu once again ushered in the opportunity to directly match, but it was different from what was expected before the game, that is, it was not Meng Xu who singled Duncan with his back, nor did Duncan single Meng Xu with his back to him, nor did Duncan single Meng Xu with his disposition, but the direct confrontation between the two under the basket.

"Tim Duncan has 5 fouls! Although Duncan was not able to play his full strength in this game due to the limit of the number of fouls, his performance was still beyond reproach, and the statistics of 31 points and 16 rebounds were perfect enough, and we couldn't ask for more from him. If he hadn't gone around to help defend and wipe his teammates' butts everywhere, he wouldn't have fallen into a foul crisis in the fourth quarter, but if he hadn't done this, the Spurs might have lost a long time ago, what Tim Duncan did on the court is exactly the performance of a perfect player, and the responsibility of a leader, unlike some people, who only have baskets in their eyes and only know how to brush up on statistics, this year's MVP vote, I will vote for Tim Duncan. "Don't think about it, the one who can say this kind of thing must be the media of the New York Times, this season the New York Times has gone farther and farther on the road of Meng Hei, although Duncan and the Spurs are not very popular with them, but compared to Meng Xu and the Pacers, Duncan and the grudge between the Spurs and the New York Knicks is simply not worth mentioning, so in order to achieve the purpose of Hei Mengxu, touting Duncan and the Spurs is also very normal for them, not to mention Duncan's performance today, it is also worth touting.

"yes, Duncan is a perfect player, he's a perfect leader, even if the Spurs lose today, we can't blame Duncan for anything, he can't do more. His teammates are so bad, Bruce Bowen is like air in front of Meng Xu, it's hard to imagine that he actually let Meng Xu score nearly 50 points, and Kevin Willis, there is a reason why he can't become an All-Star. Not only the main lineup, but the Spurs' rotation lineup is too poor, which will greatly limit the Spurs' performance in the playoffs. Although San Antonio is not as good as the big cities of Los Angeles and New York, it is still not worse than Indianapolis, and Holt needs to bring a few strong helpers to Tim. "XX did his best, teammate CBA, no matter when, is a very perfect excuse, not to mention that Duncan's current teammates are indeed a little better than CBA, whether Duncan is willing to dump the pot or not, these media have now found a good person for Duncan in advance.

"Maybe Thiem should think about changing teams at the end of the season, and the great Knicks will be the best place for Tim, with everything Tim needs." Duncan's contract will expire at the end of this season, with Duncan's current strength and status, as long as he enters the free market, he will definitely be the object of coaxing by the entire league, who would refuse such a great player?

"Alas, if the Spurs had been able to keep Meng and Reeve, maybe the Spurs wouldn't be what they are now, and Tim wouldn't be as isolated as he is now." Unlike the blind coaxing of other media reporters, the reporter of the San Antonio Sports newspaper sighed, Duncan is not without a good helper, but the Spurs can't keep it, last summer it was Meng Xu, this summer is Lafrentz, for two consecutive seasons, the Spurs have lost two important players, if Meng Xu and Rivra Frentz are still on the Spurs, what Pacers, what Lakers, what Kings, to hell with them.

"I'll go, fortunately Meng Xu left the Spurs, fortunately, the Wake Forest duo disintegrated." After hearing the exclamation of the reporter of the San Antonio Sports News, the surrounding group of reporters said this sentence in their hearts almost at the same time, how strong is Duncan? After 3 seasons in the league, he has indisputably sat in the position of the No. 1 forward in history, one of the strongest interior lines in the league, and the only active interior line who can wrestle with O'Neal. How strong is Meng Xu? The youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, the league's new first person who won three MVPs last season, any team with one of the two of them will be a strong contender for the championship, and fortunately the two of them are now separated, if the two of them are still on the same team, the remaining 28 teams in the league will all go to play in the mud.

"It's over." With Duncan receiving the sixth foul of the game with the last three minutes of the game, the Pacers' Christmas battle against the Spurs has completely lost its suspense, and the loss of Duncan's Spurs is undoubtedly the loss of the backbone, and it is simply impossible to rely on a group of rookies to reverse the Pacers.

108-97, this is the final score between the Pacers and the Spurs, and the visiting Pacers defeated the Spurs to win today's Christmas game.

"We won! We won!...... As soon as the whistle blew at the end of the game, the sidelines of the Pacers rushed onto the court to celebrate a hard-fought victory on this special day.

"Bastard, congratulations on finally beating us." Just when the Pacers finished celebrating and returned to the locker room one after another, Meng Xu found that Duncan had already been waiting at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and after being stunned for a while, Meng Xu ran over quickly, and after a big hug, Duncan said viciously in Meng Xu's ear.

"Meng, come back, we need you! Tim needs you too! "Come back, Meng." Just as Meng Xu and Duncan were hugging each other, the Spurs fans around the players' tunnel grabbed the No. 5 jersey in their hands with one hand and shouted at Meng Xu. Hearing the shouts of these fans around him, Meng Xu really had some feelings, recalling that the Pacers played the Wizards away this season, Hamilton was a little unbalanced by the Wizards fans, and the Pacers played the 76ers this season, and Mutombo, who was booed by the Philadelphia fans, Meng Xu really felt that he was able to play for a team like the Spurs, how lucky he was.

"Bastard, it's better not to come back, I don't want to share the leadership of the Spurs with others, and I don't want to be like Shaq." Looking at Meng Xu's tangled expression, Duncan stretched out his big hand and touched Meng Xu's head, and by the way, he also pulled out a few hairs, and then ran directly into the players' tunnel, just as Duncan ran into the players' tunnel, he said in a very small voice: "Bastard, I will wait for you to come back in San Antonio." ”

"Tim, you bastard, stop me!"
