"Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo once again blocked O'Neal's offense, which is really incredible, you must know that in the previous game, the Pacers' two interior lines have never been able to limit O'Neal, and in today's game, O'Neal only shot 2 of 6 in the first five minutes, Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo's package made O'Neal play very uncomfortable in today's game!"

After O'Neal missed the hook, Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound very easily, and then threw it directly to Meng Xu near the free throw line, watching Meng Xu take the ball to the Heat's half, O'Neal who just missed the hook, and his face at the moment was hard to see, before the start of this game, O'Neal was riveting and wanted to kill tonight, but now the situation on the court has greatly surprised O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo, who were not in his eyes at all before, The performance in today's game really surprised O'Neal a little, and the cooperation of these two guys is very tacit, one is in the back, and the other is in the front, making O'Neal like being shackled, with no strength, and there is no way to exert it, and not only O'Neal is under the bag of Jermaine O'Neill and Mutombo, playing extremely uncomfortable, even O'Neal's teammates who performed very well in the previous game are like losing their souls tonight, and the more so, The more brazen the Pacers are with O'Neal's bag.

“shit!。。。。。。” Although with Meng Xu's fast attack speed, even if O'Neal tried his best, he couldn't catch up, but out of the quality of a professional and a player, O'Neal still retreated, but before O'Neal ran through the middle circle, Meng Xu was already hanging on the basket, looking at Meng Xu who fell from the basket, O'Neal's mouth instantly spewed a few dirty words.

"The Pacers' defense today is really good, it's hard to imagine that the Heat with O'Neal can only score a measly 7 points in the first five minutes of the game!" Although Michaels is constantly praising the Pacers' defense, Michaels can also clearly see that the Pacers are on the defensive end of today's game, which is a little weird, and it can be described as airtight. If it is very normal for the Heat's outside line to be blown up by the Pacers at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, then when Mutombo and Jermaine O'Neal teamed up to limit O'Neal on the defensive end, it was obviously a little abnormal, you must know that in many meetings between the Pacers and the Lakers last season, even if Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo teamed up, they couldn't stop O'Neal, and today, the two of them not only limited O'Neal, making O'Neal very uncomfortable on the offensive end, but they also had the energy to make up for their teammates.

Although they can clearly feel the abnormalities on the field and can make some inferences based on this, Michaels and Magic Johnson can't make accurate inferences through detailed system data like Meng Xu, O'Neal, who has fallen from the peak last season, will continue to decline in the future game state and ability value, and it is very likely that he will fall further from 97 to 96 this year. On the other hand, on the Pacers' side, after experiencing consecutive finals baptisms, with the continuous outbreak of the new season, Jermaine O'Neal has now entered the peak of his career and has officially become a player with an ability value of 94. And Mutombo still has 84 ability points this season, and the defensive rating is as high as 93, so it is very normal for Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo to work together to tie O'Neal's hands, but in the eyes of the outside world, it all seems a little weird and not so normal.

"Stan, do we need to change the tactics on the court during the timeout?" Before the official timeout in the first quarter, Stan Van Gundy's assistant coach stood next to a frowning Stan Van Gundy and asked him if he would like to change the team's original tactics and strategy during the timeout. Although the new season has not yet begun, the Heat's coaching staff has been studying and formulating ways to deal with the Pacers, after all, it is impossible for any team with ambitions and intentions for the championship to ignore the defending champions, but through today's encounter, they found that although they have overestimated the strength of the Pacers, everything that is happening on the court now lets them know that they still underestimate the Pacers!

"Let's take a look!" Stan Van Gundy shook his head after hearing the assistant coach's advice and instead continued to stare at the situation on the field. Although the Heat fell behind at the beginning of the game, and has been at a disadvantage on the court, the Heat's tactics are no problem, relying on O'Neal's deterrence under the basket, playing alone on the inside to attract the Pacers' bag, so as to create shooting opportunities for the team's outside, if according to this tactic, the Heat's performance on the court is completely no problem, every player on the court is playing in accordance with the tactics formulated in advance, but the destruction is ruined, the Heat on the court This group of outside players on the court, out of the vacancy can not be shot, In the first quarter, the Heat have not hit a three-pointer so far, and the more this happens, the more dangerous O'Neal's situation under the basket will be.

"Beautiful three-pointer, this is Meng's first three-point shot in this game." Because the Pacers always shot from the middle distance through blocking and dismantling after the opening, in this offense, the Heat simply gave up the defense of the Pacers' outside and began to play shrink defense, but as soon as the Heat contracted, Meng Xu slapped them hard with a three-point shot.

After Meng Xu's three-point shot, Damon Jones, who was opposite Meng Xu, looked at Meng Xu who was expressionless in front of him, and was about to collapse, you said that you are more than two meters tall, how good it is to play forward, and if it is not good, you can play a point guard, what kind of organizational guard do you say, and a big man who is more than two meters tall, controls the ball better than a small player who is only 1.9 meters tall, and the fingertip control is called a slip, and Damon Jones is envious of it. Because Meng Xu is ten centimeters taller than Damon Jones, coupled with Meng Xu's super long arm span, when Meng Xu shoots in front of Damon Jones, he doesn't jump, and he tiptoes casually, Damon Jones, who is one meter away from Meng Xu, can't jump up, and the most humiliating thing for Damon Jones is that when he attacks with the ball, Meng Xu doesn't pay attention to himself at all, but runs to defend Dwayne Wade, the rookie, and even worse, when he is vacant, O'Neal under the basket passes the ball out, Meng Xu, who was closest to him, actually stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, if Damon Jones could throw it, it would be fine, but Damon Jones couldn't shoot every time, in this case, Damon Jones was indeed about to collapse.

When the first quarter of the game ended, those media reporters who were looking forward to the Heat defeating the Pacers were all mournful, because the Heat at home was 28-17, 11 points behind the Pacers, O'Neal, as the core of the Heat, shot 4 of 11 in the first quarter, 2 of 5 free throws, and scored 10 of the 17 points of the Heat team, while Meng Xu shot 3 of 6, scored 8 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

In the second quarter of the game, the situation on the court was similar to the first quarter, and the Heat never found a way to reverse the situation, although O'Neal's performance in the second quarter was much better than the first quarter, but the rest of the Heat's players were still sleepwalking, under the focus of Meng Xu, it was difficult for Dwyane Wade to connect the ball, not to mention what performance he could have on the court, and Meng Xu could help Reggie Miller help defend Eddie Jones by the way in the case of locking Dwayne Wade, several outside lines of the Heat, in today's game, have no power to fight back.

When the halftime was over, the Pacers won 56-41, extending the lead to 15, looking at the Heat players who walked directly into the player tunnel after the game, the fans of the entire American Airlines arena were in an uproar, because they never thought that today's game would be like this, you must know that the Heat had won 14 consecutive games before this game, and the Pistons, who are currently ranked third in the East, the Nets are fourth, the Spurs are second in the West, and the Timberwolves are third in the West, all of which are defeated by the Heat. No one could have imagined that the Heat would be abused like this by the Pacers on their home court.

"You can only understand the difficult situation without a helper now!" Looking at O'Neill, who was walking in front of him, Meng Xu sighed in his heart. Meng Xu was both happy and regretful about the parting of ways between O'Neal and Kobe, happy that his biggest enemy on the way to winning the championship had finally disintegrated, and it was a pity that a pair of historic pairs were separated. Now whether it is O'Neal or Kobe, in their hearts, they only have resentment and disgust for their former partners, and perhaps in a few years, when they recall their former partners again, there will be no resentment or disgust, but only nostalgia and regret.

"Do you regret it now?" Looking at O'Neill's back that was about to disappear, Meng Xu asked softly.
