Chapter 402: Negative Status
"Boy, we'll take four cities in a row and send you home to fish, hahahahaγγγγγγ" On June 9, 2002, when the third game of the Lakers and Pacers finals ended, the Lakers in Indianapolis defeated the Pacers 97-93, and the score of the two sides was moved to 2-1, the Lakers' boss Shaq O'Neal, after the whistle blew at the end of the game, stretched out two fingers to Meng Xu, indicating that he had won two games in a row, and at the same time O'Neal stared at Meng Xu with disdain and continued: "Your ending will be the same as the 76ers, And you, like that little baby of the 76ers, will tell you that even if you have more points, it will be useless, and I will continue to rule this alliance! Rule all of you!"
"It's the same as the guys from the Queen Sacramento team, you guys will just change their name to the Indiana mare team in the future." After seeing that Meng Xu didn't take care of himself, but turned around to comfort his teammates, O'Neill, who was a little unwilling, took a few steps closer to Meng Xu, and then continued to make provocative remarks, adding fuel to the fire.
"You bastard!" Before Meng Xu could open his mouth to fight back, James Posey and Jermaine O'Neal on the side couldn't stand it first, and immediately rushed up to "theorize" with O'Neal, the team lost the game, and the Pacers players were just a stomach full of grievances and had no place to sprinkle, O'Neal was now so provocative, and their anger was immediately stirred up. Indiana horse racing is very famous, and the Indiana Pacers team name is actually Indiana Pacers, or Indiana Pacers, and O'Neal now directly calls the Pacers the Indiana mare team, which is definitely an insulting irony.
"Alright, Jermaine, James, the best way to keep him shut is to beat him on the court, not to use his fists and kicks to decide the winner like a gangster." Looking at the angry James Posey and Jermaine O'Neal, Meng Xu immediately stopped them, Meng Xu didn't think about how to fight back against O'Neal's provocation now, all he was thinking about was how to persuade these two guys, the league now has a 0 tolerance attitude towards violence on the court, and fights and brawls will definitely be severely punished, James Posey is the kind of character who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, although Jermaine O'Neal looks a little wilted, but he is not a good stubble in his bones, So in case these two guys and O'Neal get into each other's hands, let's not talk about whether they can get O'Neal or not, the ban will definitely not be able to run.
"A bunch of cowards." Seeing that a conflict was quelled in this way, O'Neill, who failed to succeed in his treacherous scheme, first spat on the ground, and then left in a huff.
"Jermaine, that big fat man is just deliberately provoking you, if you really rush over and fight him, you will be fooled by him, we just need to win the next game, don't forget that the next two games are our home stadium, as long as we win these two games, we will win the O'Brien Cup in Los Angeles, there is nothing more relieving than this, isn't it?" As the leader of the team's locker room, Reggie Miller, who had already walked towards the players' tunnel, immediately trotted over to the field after seeing the changes on the field, but fortunately, Meng Xu and Jamal had already pulled the two of them in time, so that no bigger conflict broke out.
"Jermaine, James, although we lost this game, we haven't lost the whole series, so it's not the end of the world, a series is very long, there is strength, there is luck, there is inevitable, there is chance, but what we can do is to keep our hearts and try to play every game, we are now in a disadvantageous situation, so you have to control your emotions even more." And as the head coach of the team, Larry Bird, as an elder who has been in the NBA for many years, Larry Bird will inevitably have to teach a little life experience to these young people in front of him.
"Meng, you don't have any pressure, you have performed well enough in these games, you will be given a day off tomorrow, go back and have a good rest." Because Meng Xu broke the single-game scoring record in the finals in the first game of the finals and led the Pacers to reverse the Lakers, so after the profound lesson of the first game, from the second game, the Lakers carried out the whole package on Meng Xu, under the crazy bag of the Lakers, and because of Meng Xu's excessive physical consumption in the first game, Meng Xu's scoring efficiency plummeted in the next two games, and in the second game of the series, he only scored 24 points on 7 of 23 shots, and the feeling of this game rebounded slightly. But only 11 of the 25 shots in the whole game, especially the 3-point shot was only 1 of 7, in the second half of the fourth quarter, when Meng Xu wanted to chase the score with a 3-pointer, all 3 shots were iron, and the Lakers took the opportunity to lay the victory.
However, the quality of Meng Xu's state is not the biggest problem for the Pacers now, the biggest dilemma for the Pacers at the moment is that after Meng Xu, there is still a lack of a stable scorer, Jermaine O'Neal, who can contribute an average of 19 points per game in the regular season, was comprehensively suppressed by O'Neal in these games, with an average of only 11 points and 8 rebounds per game, and in order to allow Meng Xu to focus on the offensive end and increase the scoring ability of the bench lineup, Larry Bird put James Posey on the starting full-time defensive Kobe, And let Reggie Miller play the sixth man, so that the Pacers' main lineup scoring ability is even worse. Lorenzen White's role on the offensive end is dispensable, Jermaine O'Neal was fully suppressed by O'Neal, Reggie Miller is now on the bench, and the starting lineup that averaged more than 80 points per game in the regular season has shrunk to less than 60 points in these two games, when Meng Xu attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Lakers, the rest of the Pacers' players were not able to stand up in time, at this time, Larry Bird also began to miss Al Harrington, if Harrington was still in the Pacers, I don't have to worry about it.

"Anna, can you teach me how to adjust my state, I seem to be in a difficult situation now, there is always a time on the field when I feel like I can't control myself." After the team was disbanded, Meng Xu, who returned home, entered the system space, and after the first game of the finals, Meng Xu felt that he had no game state, and with his current state mediation ability, there was no way to solve this situation.
"You have done so many things that have ruined your character, and some negative buffs are also normal, and the record has been sealed for 40 years, do you think it is a joke? In my experience, after a maximum of 3 games, you'll be back to normal. Anna, who was holding a popcorn to watch a soap opera, responded to Meng Xu very reluctantly.
"3 games, you kill me, if we lose the next game, we should go home, 1-3 behind, and a fart." As soon as he heard that it was the negative BUFF imposed by the system after he broke the record, Meng Xu couldn't wait to rush over and grab Annaγγγγγγ , but as soon as he thought that he couldn't beat her in the system, Meng Xu gave up this idea of killing himself.
"It's normal, okay, some people only do one thing that ruins their character, and they can't turn over for the rest of their lives. It's only 3 games, think about last year's Iverson, after scoring 48 points, and the 76ers' performance this season, you can be content, and what's the big deal about falling behind 1-3, it's not that you can't win after falling behind 1-3. After hearing Meng Xu's complaints, Anna also put down the popcorn in her hand, turned her head and patiently explained to Meng Xu.
"So, I have to be glad to be right?"
"That's natural, if it weren't for you, this record would continue to be maintained, and the longer the record is held, the stronger the reverse BUFF will be, and the player who breaks this record in the future will not only miss the championship by failing to kill, but also being reimbursed in the second season, a player who is talented enough to match Jordan, has not yet reached his peak, and fell because he broke this record." As she spoke, Anna's expression became a little unnatural, and it must have been that these words to herself reminded her of something sad and helpless.
This system includes the information of all players in the history of basketball, and as a system elf, the information of each player is naturally extremely familiar, in the history of basketball, there is never a shortage of talented players, but not every one of them can fully realize their basketball talent, there are too many suffocating tragedies have happened, although Meng Xu doesn't know who the player who fell because he broke this record, but think about the Anfernee Hardaway who he is very familiar with, Grant Hill, Meng Xu felt that compared to these people, he was lucky enough.
