Chapter 583: I'm sick to you
When the main players of the Pacers and Mavericks returned to the court, there were more than 7 minutes left in the game, and today's game, whether it was the main players of both sides or the bench lineups, it was difficult to solve on the court. Antoine Jamison is at least a qualified second-in-command on any team, but now he is playing the sixth man in the Mavericks, although he is resentful, but Antoine Jamison's professional attitude is still very good, plus the possibility of winning the championship, so in his first Finals, Antoine Jamison's attitude on the court can almost be described as playing with his life.
Originally, Rick Carlisle was going to rest the main lineup for half a quarter, but because Antoine Jamison hit three consecutive shots just now, the difference between the two sides directly widened to 7 points, so Rick Carlisle had to call a timeout in advance, replace all the main players, and start the decisive battle.
"It's not even wrapped?" At the beginning of the game, Meng Xu found that the Mavericks' defensive strategy had changed, and he was supposed to cooperate with Antoine Walker to cover Michael Finley, but he was far away from him and concentrated on defending Tyshawn Prince.
"I thought you could hold on to a game and wrap me up for the whole game." After slapping the basketball and confronting Antoine Walker for about two seconds, and finding that there were no more Maverick players to cooperate with Antoine Walker to pinch him, Meng Xu glanced at Old Nelson who was standing on the sidelines, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
At the beginning of today's game, when the Mavericks clamped themselves, Meng Xu guessed in his heart the purpose and backhand of the old Nelson, after all, this is a head coach who can make O'Neal worse than dead, plus the old Nelson's methods to deal with himself in the regular season, Meng Xu chose to deal with it cautiously after the opening, pass the ball when the bag is tight, and throw once or twice when the bag is loose, after all, there is a group of teammates around him who can be trusted, let them shoot empty, Although Meng Xu has only made 8 shots so far, and scored 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting, Meng Xu has delivered 15 assists today, as well as 7 rebounds, 5 steals, and 2 blocks.
When the game restarted, after the old Nelson gave up his bag, Meng Xu knew what the hell the old Nelson was playing, it was nothing more than the first three quarters of crazy pinch himself, forcing himself to reduce the number of shots, or forcing himself to shoot alone, anyway, he didn't give himself the opportunity to adjust his feel, and then at the critical moment of the game, he suddenly relaxed his defense, and when he changed the rhythm of the game and found the feeling, the Mavericks had already laid the victory, this strategy was really disgusting, However, old Nelson's wishful thinking today may not work, because Meng Xu is a GB.
"See if I'm not sick to death today." After muttering a sentence in his mouth, Meng Xu suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity and began to activate.
After seeing Meng Xu move, Antoine Walker immediately took a step back according to the head coach's instructions, and then in the pause just now, the old Nelson personally said to Antoine Walker that when the Mavericks give up the bag on Meng Xu, Meng Xu will definitely choose to break through, so Walker only needs to stand in position and defend Meng Xu's breakthrough. When Antoine Walker asked Nelson Sr., what if Meng Xu shot a 3-pointer from the outside? After all, Meng Xu is a three-point champion in a row, and he has hit 200+ three-pointers in a single season for three consecutive seasons.
And Nelson Sr.'s answer was, just let him vote and see if he can go to heaven.
Antoine Walker, who was instructed by the head coach, was very relieved to let Meng Xu take a big step away in this defense, stepped on the three-point line with both feet, and stared at Meng Xu's every move with open arms.
"Did this bastard make a move?" Antoine Walker's height is a cut higher than Meng Xu, but because Meng Xu was placed too far, when Meng Xu pulled out his hand more than one meter in front of Antoine Walker, Antoine Walker was really a little weak, and after a symbolic jump interference, he could only watch the basketball thrown by Meng Xu go over his head.
"It's impossible to score." Thinking of what the head coach just said to himself, Antoine Walker was a lot more relieved, but when Antoine Walker saw Meng Xu who was still in the air and smiled at himself, Antoine Walker's heart immediately chuckled, although the head coach said that Meng Xu could be put to shoot, but it did not mean that Antoine Walker could watch Meng Xu shoot on his head with peace of mind.
Antoine Walker, who was cold for a while, looked back after landing, and the basketball shot by Meng Xu was hollow into the net, and he hit a three-point shot, and as Meng Xu hit this three-point, the difference between the two sides was narrowed to 4 points again.
"Actually?" The old Nelson, who was standing on the sidelines, pinched himself with his thumb after seeing Meng Xu's three-point shot, and looked at Meng Xu with an expressionless face and had begun to slowly retreat from the defense with an unbelievable face, the old Nelson couldn't believe it anyway, Meng Xu, who had only made 8 shots in front of him and had been resting off the court for more than 10 minutes, could quickly find his feel without any adaptation after he got on the court.
"This ball must have been accidental." After thinking about it, Nelson Sr. finally found an excuse to comfort himself.
Just when Old Nelson was staring at Meng Xu intently, Meng Xu, who was retreating, suddenly turned his head and smiled at Meng Xu, and at the same time stretched out his finger and pointed in front of him, pointing to the position where Meng Xu made a three-point shot just now, Meng Xu's meaning was very obvious, that is, I will shoot there in the next ball.
"This guy is crazy!" After seeing Meng Xu provoke old Nelson without scruples, Avery Johnson couldn't stand it anymore, but Avery Johnson thought about it, hasn't Meng Xu always been like this? The rookie season dared to provoke Jeff Van Gundy in Maddison, and today is the home court of the Pacers, and Meng Xu is even more fearless.
"Bastard, ******" After muttering softly for a while, old Nelson turned his head, if it weren't for his own face, old Nelson really wanted to rush over and say to Meng Xu, you vote, you vote, if you can't vote, you will be *** raised.
Just when the old Nelson was still angry with Meng Xu deliberately provoking himself, the Mavericks' offense also began, still blocking and dismantling, and after completing the dismantling, Steve Nash cut into the basket again, but this time Steve Nash did not choose to pass, but used a very light layup to help the Mavericks expand the difference to 5 points again.
After Nash hit a layup, Mutombo on the bottom line quickly sent a baseline ball, and Meng Xu obviously accelerated the speed of advancement this time, after receiving the baseline ball sent by Mutombo, Meng Xu, who was still in the backcourt, directly accelerated towards the front court.
"Hurry back! Defend yourself! The Mavericks obviously didn't expect that the Pacers, who had been deliberately suppressing the pace of the game and playing almost one positional offense, suddenly accelerated the pace of the game.
After the Mavericks players on the court reacted, Meng Xu had successively gotten rid of Steve Nash and Michael Finley's encirclement, and rushed through the halfcourt.
"This guy really shot out there!" After seeing Meng Xu's actions on the court, the old Nelson and Avery Johnson on the sidelines were all stunned.
