"Erwin, do you think Meng can achieve three consecutive championships in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest?" When more than half of the first round of the All-Star Three-Point Contest was played, among the 6 players who had played, only Nowitzki scored more than 20 points, although Nowitzki's 23 points were not low, but if it was placed in the first two 3-point contests, such a score was not even enough to enter the finals, which can also be seen how the lineup of this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest is, in this case, Meng Xu's hope of defending the title is undoubtedly very big, As soon as Meng Xu defends the championship of this year's 3-point contest, then Meng Xu will become the third player in the history of the All-Star three-point contest to achieve 3 consecutive championships after Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.

"Craig, I think there is no doubt about the ownership of the championship, as an active member of the league, he may even be one of the greatest 3-point shooters in history, as long as there is a 3-point tournament in which Meng participates, he will be the biggest favorite to win the championship, and the others can only compete for the second, of course, the second is no different from the championship for them." Although Larry Bird also wanted to save a wave of character for Meng Xu, he changed his words when the words came to his lips, after all, with Larry Bird's character, if he wanted him to keep a low profile, it would definitely make him more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Elwin, I don't think so." After seeing Larry Bird's clear support for his disciple, Craig Hodges first shook his head, and then retorted: "The lineup participating in this year's 3-point tournament is the weakest in recent years, but it is precisely like this, I think that Meng does not have such a good chance of defending the title, as you said, no one can always maintain the shooting touch, sometimes, luck is also a very important part, without the huge pressure of the opponent, Meng is likely to miss the championship because he is too relaxed." ”

Just as Craig Hodges's words fell, his words came true, after Jason Richardson threw 22 points, Meng Xu, the last to appear, did not even take off his coat in the cheers of more than 20,000 spectators, and waved to the audience at the scene, while walking towards the first point in the bottom corner. The first 7 players all played, the highest score was Nowitzki's 23 points, after Nowitzki, it was Jason Richardson's 22 points, and the third place temporarily was Wallis Zebiak's 19 points, that is to say, as long as Meng Xu scored more than 19 points, then Meng Xu will enter the finals of the three-point contest, 20 points should be very easy for Meng Xu, it can be seen from Meng Xu's expression and look when he played, and this is exactly what Craig Hodges is worried about, Meng Xu is too relaxed, This is not good for his performance in the game.

"Haha, Craig, I think your worries are completely unnecessary, if you are not worried about Meng's three points, you can go to the bathroom now, and then come back to Meng's award ceremony." Although Craig Hodges's words also made Larry Bird a little uneasy, after all, it is easy to make mistakes if he is too relaxed in the game, but out of confidence in Meng Xu, Larry Bird is still very stubborn that Meng Xu will definitely be able to defend the title.

Just after Meng Xu walked to the first shooting point in his coat, he still didn't mean to take off his coat, but signaled to the referee on the side that he was ready, and the entire First League Center Arena was in an uproar, and the players on the sidelines who participated in this year's All-Star 3-point contest were all staring at Meng Xu's every move.

"Did Meng forget to take off his coat? Or do you think you can win the three-point contest with a coat? ”

"It's so arrogant, this Indiana hillbilly is so arrogant, I think this guy will probably be eliminated in the first round." When the New York Times reporter said this, the peers around the press gallery immediately paid attention to him, and that look was completely a look of caring for mentally handicapped children, this season Meng Xu rejected the Knicks' invitation and chose to join the Knicks' sworn enemy Pacers, making the Knicks lose face, as the leader of the New York media, the New York Times is also reasonable to hack Meng Xu.

Just when the press bench caused ripples because of the remarks of the New York Times reporter, Meng Xu, who was located at the first point in the bottom corner, had already begun to shoot, for Meng Xu, this kind of fixed-point vacancy shooting was still very easy, but in order to have a better performance in the finals, in the first round, Meng Xu began to deliberately adjust his feel and look for a feeling.

"Look, this Indiana hillbilly really can't do it." The first point, Meng Xu shot 2 of 5 and only scored 2 points, and the second point was still 2 of 5 shots, but he hit a flower ball and scored 3 points, and after the two points and 10 shots were completed, Meng Xu only scored 5 points.

In the third point of 5 shots of 3, hit the flower ball and scored 4 points, it seems that Meng Xu's hand has gradually improved, and when Meng Xu hit all the fourth points of 5 shots, increasing his personal score to 15 points, with Meng Xu's continuous hits, the first league center arena erupted into bursts of cheers, and the New York Times reporter, who was still ashamed just now, is now stunned. In the end, when Meng Xu hit all 5 shots again at the last point and hit 11 balls in a row, surpassing Wallis Zebiak with a total score of 21 points and entering the final of the All-Star 3-point contest, the New York Times reporter who was still laughing at Meng Xu just now, and his followers, were already silent at the moment, looking at Meng Xu who was wearing a coat and waving to the surrounding audience with an incredible face.

"Three points in the back and 11 goals in a row? Actually got 16 points? Craig Hodges on the commentary bench didn't know how to describe Meng Xu, Meng Xu, who only scored 5 points in the first two points, not only did not collapse in the back, but staged an epic reversal.

"Craig, I told you just now that as long as Meng participates in the 3-point competition, the others can only compete for the second, even if Meng is wearing a coat, it is enough to clean up this gang of salted fish." Seeing that Meng Xu has adjusted his feel to the best, and in the final of the upcoming three-point contest, because Meng Xu scored the lowest in the first round, Meng Xu will be the first to play, so Meng Xu's current hot hand is likely to continue, in this case, unless Nowitzki and Richardson burst into the mix, they have no chance.

"It's incredible." As a three-time three-point king, Craig Hodges certainly knows that Meng Xu's terrifying feel in the last 3 points is likely to continue to the following finals, and Meng Xu is more or less likely to deliberately adjust his feel at the first two points, or even deliberately throw some balls to ensure the continuity of his hand.
