"Are you sure you're using a potion of magic?"
"Sure."
"The magic potion is successfully used, and all the attributes of the host are increased by 10%" Listening to a pleasant electronic sound, Meng Xu couldn't wait to open his attribute bar.

"The overall ability evaluation has directly increased by 10 points, if I have the ability of 90, wouldn't I become Jordan if I use this potion?" After seeing the magical effect of the magic potion, Meng Xu actually regretted it a little. In order to be able to give the New Yorkers a little color in the game with the Knicks, Meng Xu also made a lot of money and used one of the only two bottles of magic potion.
"Knicks, you guys wait for me, hahahaha." The San Antonio Spurs were staying at the hotel, and there was a burst of howls and laughter. Although Meng Xu only has a strength of 80 after using the magic potion, the current leader of the Knicks, Alan Houston, is currently only 84 strength, and Meng Xu can still deal with him.
"Hello everyone, I'm your favorite Smith, and I'm going to talk about today's game with my partner today." On February 21, 2000, at Madison Square Garden, the home of the New York Knicks, before the start of the game between the Spurs and the Knicks, when the players of the two teams began to warm up, Kenny Smith, the on-site commentator of the game, had already begun to mediate the atmosphere of the scene.
"Old rules, let's first introduce the starting list of the two teams today, the starting center on the Knicks' side is Patrick Ewing, power forward Kurt Thomas, small forward Alan Houston, scoring guard Latrill Sprewell, and point guard Charlie Ward. After the baptism of the finals last season, the Knicks this season have finally stepped into normalcy and are currently in second place in the East with a 31-19 record, second only to the Pacers. ”
"On the Spurs' side, David Robinson did not play today, it is said that he had a cold, replacing David Robinson as center is Tim Duncan, big forward Samaki Walker, small forward Meng Xu, scoring guard Mario Elie, playmaking guard Jalen Jackson, Avery Johnson did not start in this game, but sat on the bench. The Spurs are also in trouble after the All-Star break, and the three-game losing streak is also the longest losing streak of the season for the Spurs, and the Spurs are now in third place in the West. ”
"Well, the game started, Tim Duncan beat Ewing and grabbed the first wave of ball possession for the Spurs, compared with Duncan, Ewing is obviously old, whether it is strength or bounce, it is now a great loss." After the jump ball, the Spurs are still the old rules, Duncan will carry out the first offense, jump ball and jump will not win, in the process of Duncan's offense with the ball, Patrick Ewing is also old, there is no way to take Duncan, Ewing's average points per game this season has dropped to 15 points, which is even worse than David Robinson's decline.
After Duncan scored this goal, it was the Knicks' turn to attack, after Charlie Ward dribbled past half court, Alan Houston immediately reached out to ask for the ball, Alan Houston has become more and more stable in recent seasons, this season's shooting rate has even reached 49%, 3-point shooting rate of 43.5%, and when Patrick Ewing is getting older, the Knicks also plan to correct Alan Houston.
"Rookie, study hard." Alan Houston controlled the ball while making a heavy shoulder movement, wanting to directly hit Meng Xu. As a player from Detroit and a former member of the New York gang coached by Pat Riley, Alan Houston is humble off the court, but once he gets on the court, he becomes a tough guy. Although Alan Houston's actions are not as rough as before due to the league's explicit ban, he still has a lot of small moves in both offense and defense.
"Well, it's a good mistake, but I can't learn it." Alan Houston failed to push Meng Xu away after two consecutive hits of Meng Xu, so he chose to turn around directly on the spot, wanting to make a picturesque backward jumper, who knew that his feet slipped inexplicably, not only failed to throw the basketball, but also almost fell into the mud, the basketball after getting off was picked up by Meng Xu and went directly to the fast attack, Meng Xu once again staged a big windmill dunk that changed hands in the air in Madison Garden Plaza. When Meng Xu retreated past Alan Houston's side, he didn't forget to taunt.
"This little bastard." Alan Houston was also a little angry by this mistake, and after scolding Meng Xu, he yelled at the staff on the sidelines.
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack again, this time Alan Houston didn't ask for the ball, but wanted to open up space by running, and catching and shooting is what Alan Houston is best at, especially that beautiful mid-range shot, which is even called a textbook shot.
"FACK, boy, are you a magnet, you suck wherever I go." Although Alan Houston's off-ball movement is still far from Miller's top level, it is the first time that he has been entangled by someone like this.
"You're the magnet, your whole family is a magnet." After entangling with Alan Houston for several minutes, Meng Xu found that this guy was definitely an alternative player, although his strength was very good, but he didn't like to spew trash talk very much, which made Meng Xu very uncomfortable.
Although he is honest, he doesn't like to talk much, it would be a big mistake to think that he is a good person, Alan Houston's hidden little actions are really annoying, and this guy is really doing it, Meng Xu's waist has been pinched and swollen by this guy.
