Chapter 153: I Still Like It
When Meng Xu assisted Mario Elie to score by breaking through the ball, and after high-fived and celebrated with the extremely excited Mario Ely, Meng Xu said in his heart: "I still like this feeling. Δㄟ.” In the middle of the 3rd quarter, the Spurs, who had already been smoothed, had already deviated from Vicky's tactical plan, and when Duncan handed over the dominance of the Spurs to Meng Xu, he wanted Meng Xu and Pippen to have an anerba11 duel, but the exhibition of the scene deviated a little from Duncan's expectations.
In the first few rounds, after hitting a few balls in a row, Meng Xu and Pippen suddenly began to fight for assists and passes, unlike Pippen's kind of relying on his own overall situation and game awareness to make balls for his teammates, Meng Xu is completely through continuous breakthroughs, and then divide the ball, even if he has a chance to go to the basket, Meng Xu will not go to the basket, but pass the basketball to the teammate with the best chance behind him.
Although Meng Xu's idol is Jordan, because of his lack of ability, Meng Xu's attack on the basket is not strong, but after a season in the Spurs, Meng Xu has developed the habit of observing the faces of his teammates, although sometimes when he scores a beautiful goal, his teammates will be happy with him, but compared to the joy of his teammates after he assists his teammates to score, Meng Xu still prefers the latter. Another important reason is that passing the ball to a teammate is more time-saving and labor-saving than hitting the basket yourself.
In just 4 minutes, Meng Xu scored 4 points and handed out 4 assists, while Scottie Pippen also scored 7 points and handed out 2 assists, both of them maintained a very high efficiency, but the difference between the two teams did not shrink in the slightest, but got bigger and bigger, and the Trail Blazers are now 16 points behind the Spurs.
"Meng Zai and Scottie Pippen's anerba11 did not fall behind in the slightest." Looking at the players of the two teams who were walking off the field after Mike Dunwillie called a timeout, Michaels said with some surprise, although Michaels is the number one Meng Chui, but from beginning to end, Michaels blows Meng Xu's defense, if someone told him before that Meng Xu is comparable to Pippen in terms of offense and organization, then Michaels will definitely scoff. Even though Pippen is now 35 years old, Pippen is still one of the top 5 small forwards in the league, and once Pippen gets serious, even Grant Hill, who is now in full swing, can only explode with Pippen.
"No, no, no, El, in my opinion, Meng still has an advantage, although Meng's scoring means and offensive comprehensiveness are not as good as Pippen, but in terms of how to make his teammates better, Meng has already passed Pippen, in the first few rounds, although Meng only scored 4 points, he is not as good as Pippen in terms of scoring, but Meng's 4 assists created 11 points for the Spurs, while Pippen only had 2 assists, which is why although Pippen's swing seems to be better than Meng Xu, the Spurs' advantage is getting bigger and bigger."
This time the magician didn't say anything about recruiting black, in the magician's opinion, the reason for all this is because Meng Xu has his own breakthrough system, maybe Pippen at his peak used to have his own system, but in order to adapt to Jordan and integrate into the triangle offense, Pippen must have made a lot of sacrifices, so now the result of the comparison between Pippen and Meng Xu is obvious. Not only magicians, as long as people with a little professional knowledge go through this series of games, it can be seen that Meng Xu has the ability to make his teammates better, in a few consecutive games, whether it is Sean Elliott or Mario Elie, or even Avery Johnson, no matter how iron they are in front of them, as long as they are under Meng Xu's system, their hit rate will quickly improve.
"Elwin, maybe you're right." Looking at the magician with some surprise, Michaels didn't know when, the sworn enemy in his eyes was already on the same front as himself, and even more fierce than himself, how he was blowing, he only dared to blow Meng Xu's defense, which is why in the eyes of some people, he touted Meng Xu is grandstanding, but few people really refute themselves, because Meng Xu's defense doesn't need to be blown at all, and everyone on the earth knows it. And now the magician directly lifted Meng Xu to the height of Pippen, and such a big change in the magician made Michaels suspicious, is this dead fat man killing Meng Xu?
"It was a surprise game."
In the end, when the third game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers ended, 85-98, it was originally a game in which the Trail Blazers had the advantage, or at least were evenly matched, but in the end, the Trail Blazers were suppressed by the Spurs all over the court, and they almost had no power to fight back. With the technical statistics of the game in hand, both Michaels and Magic Johnson have an incredible feeling, 19 points, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks, 6 assists, 4 steals, and one assist is another 55 data, Meng Xu's comprehensiveness was once again revealed in this game, due to Meng Xu's huge deterrent power on the outside and fast break, almost in the entire second half, the outside line of the Trailblazers, except for Pippen, was deliberately avoiding Meng Xu, and it was easy not to shoot in front of him. In the fourth quarter, Stoudemire was in a fast break, although Meng Xu had already left the court, Stoudemire subconsciously looked back before the layup, and saw if he had caught up with the Spurs players behind, which shows that Meng Xu's continuous blocks really left a shadow in Stoudemire's heart.
"Boy, in the next game, I won't let you be so arrogant." glanced at Meng Xu, who was talking and laughing with his teammates on the bench, and Damon Stoudemire, who was already preparing to leave the Alamo Stadium, said secretly in his heart that Stoudemire scored 23 points and 5 assists in this game, but most of them were obtained when Meng Xu was off the court, and the flying squirrel is also a player who prides himself on being a genius, so he will not admit defeat so easily.
As the boss of the Trail Blazers, Pippen, who is usually the last to leave the game, saw Stoudemire who was still staring at the Spurs bench, shook his head and walked over, patted the flying squirrel on the shoulder, and Pippen said: "Let's go." ”
Glancing at the Alamo Gymnasium, where everyone was standing up and celebrating wildly, Stoudemire nodded with a complicated expression, followed Pippen's footsteps, and walked into the players' tunnel.
