Chapter 125: Special Care
"What does Fox want to do? Is this the home of the Spurs? When he saw Meng Xu break through Kobe and Fox in a row, the angry Fox directly put Meng Xu down from behind, and Michaels was also a little angry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Bastard, do you want to kill someone, this is San Antonio." When they saw Meng Xu lying on the ground in pain, and Fox on the side had a casual expression, the Spurs fans on the sidelines were also surprisingly angry, and then there were boos and abuses in the sky.
"Bastard, want to fight?" As the leader of the Spurs locker room, Avery Johnson also couldn't hold back his anger, and the first one rushed up, wanting to grab Fox's collar, and Fox, who was nearly a head taller than Avery Johnson, was also a little forced to see the fierce Johnson.
"Tim, Tim." When he saw that Tim Duncan, who was fighting for his position, was about to rush towards Fox, O'Neal, who had a good personal relationship with Duncan, hugged Duncan from behind. Although Duncan seems to have a good temper, he is actually a violent temper, as long as Duncan rushes through, a group fight between the two sides is basically inevitable, and as the boss of the Lakers at that time, O'Neal will definitely be embarrassed, so O'Neal simply hugged Duncan and didn't let him pass.
"Shaq, your little brother is too unkind, this is San Antonio, does he want to lie down and leave?" After struggling a few times, Duncan realized that he couldn't break free of O'Neal.
"I'll teach him a lesson after the fight." Although O'Neal said this, what he thought in his heart was that I couldn't stand the breakthrough method of this bastard, that is, Kobe and Fox, if it was replaced by Rodman Malone, Meng Xu would have been sent to the hospital a long time ago.
"Meng seems to be injured." When Meng Xu was pulled up from the ground by Mario Elli and Sean Elliott, Meng Xu limped to the sidelines to be examined by the team doctor with the support of the two.
"Meng, how much is this?" When the team doctor checked Meng Xu's leg and found no problem, he stretched out two fingers and dangled in front of Meng Xu's eyes, obviously the team doctor was judging whether Meng Xu had been concussed in the fall just now.
"I'm fine." Meng Xu shook his head and leaned on the chair next to him to stand up.
"Meng, you take a break and wait until the fourth quarter is playing." Popovich pressed Meng Xu to the chair and took advantage of the moment of the dead ball to replace Meng Xu with Samaki Walker.
In the second half of the third quarter, with the departure of Meng Xu, the Spurs once again resumed the tactics of combining inside and outside, but what was depressing was that several outside lines of the Spurs, who had just made a three-point shot, were once again possessed by the Iron God, and the Lakers also took the opportunity to close the score, and by the end of the third quarter, 83-80, the Spurs' lead was only 3 points.
After the start of the fourth quarter, after confirming that Meng Xu was fine, Popovich let Meng Xu play again, this time Popovich is ready to completely give up the tactics of combining the inside position, in the era of David Robinson, the Spurs have Sean Elliott at the peak, and Winnie Denat, Chuck Posen, Charles Smith and a group of outside giants, so the Spurs' combination tactics are also very slippery, and the use of internal and external combination tactics is second only to the Rockets of Olajuwon. Since Duncan joined the Spurs, the Spurs have changed to a two-tower strategy, and with the decline of Sean Elliott's state, the departure of several other outside players, after David Robinson's injury, Popovich wanted to regain the tactics of combining inside and outside, but found that the current Spurs can no longer play this tactic, or in the face of the Lakers with O'Neal, the Spurs can't play this tactic.
After the game restarted, the Lakers obviously strengthened Meng Xu's body collision, no matter whether Meng Xu had a basketball in his hand or not, Fox would stick to Meng Xu, and the small movements in his hands continued, as long as Meng Xu had the intention of accelerating, Fox would secretly pull Meng Xu's jersey, and directly stretched out his foot to force Meng Xu to stop. And when Meng Xu received the ball, Fox made more small movements, pinching Meng Xu's waist, or using his knees to push Meng Xu's legs, and even kicking his ankles.
"Rick, I didn't expect you to do this kind of indiscriminate means." Meng Xu was also a little helpless about Fox's small actions, as long as he was not discovered by the referee, no one could do anything about him.
"It's not all forced by you." As a former quasi-All-Star player, Fox is also very proud in his heart, for these small actions, to be honest, Fox is also very disdainful, but there is no way, whether it is defending Meng Xu or defending Mario Elle, Fox is not successful, and at halftime, he was named by head coach Phil Jackson to criticize the defense for not working hard, so in order to keep his job, Fox had to leave behind the so-called dignity and use these hooligan tricks.
This game is also the first time Meng Xu has encountered this kind of "special care" in this round of the series, most of the time Kobe Bryant is opposite himself, for the so-called superstar dignity, he can't let go of his body, although Kobe Bryant also has some small moves, but it is far less skilled and spicy than Fox. And Phil Jackson is obviously very aware of Kobe's pride in his heart, so from the second half of the third quarter, he asked Fox to replace Kobe to defend Meng Xu, and used some unconventional means to restrain Meng Xu. Or to deter Meng Xu, the damage to the ankle is very great, especially Meng Xu's continuous change of direction is the terminator of the ankle, and Meng Xu is a yellow race, and his physical fitness and durability are far inferior to blacks and whites.
Of course, the referee who was raised by the top management of a certain league in this game also paid special attention to Fox's defensive style, but after all, Fox is really a veteran ruffian who has been in the league for nearly 10 years, where would the referee catch the handle so easily, after all, the foul on Meng Xu just now had already been blown a technical foul.
In order to keep his job, Fox has only one purpose in this game, that is, he can't let Meng Xu break through so easily no matter what, although the inside line is still a little resistant, but Fox is now ready to sacrifice.
"Rick, do you think these indiscriminate tactics can scare me or stop me?" From Fox's eyes, Meng Xu also saw a little struggle and hesitation, after speaking, Meng Xu got rid of Fox's entanglement through a lateral acceleration, and then got rid of Fox's entanglement with a no-ball cover from Mario Elie, and Avery Johnson, who saw the right time, immediately passed the ball to Meng Xu.
