Chapter 385: The Alliance's Discipline
"What's the matter, are you still watching?" After the end of the second game between the Pacers and the Nets, Meng Xu entered the system space again, looking at his layup in the first game over and over again, in that layup, Meng Xu, who was flying in the air, just subconsciously did all kinds of actions to avoid the block, and did not expect that his layup was so earth-shattering, and after the game, after the slow-motion video replay, Meng Xu was also shocked by his own layup, but after that, Meng Xu tried countless times in the system space again, but he couldn't complete a layup like that.
"Hmm." Holding the basketball and looking back at Anna behind her, there was obviously a trace of unwillingness in Meng Xu's tone. There is one more thing that makes Meng Xu even more unwilling, that is, in the Eastern Conference Finals, because of the two consecutive games, Meng Xu and Kidd both won 3 pairs, so Meng Xu also won two milestone rewards in a row, and according to Anna, as long as Meng Xu and Kidd can keep brushing 3 pairs like this, then Meng Xu can always get milestone rewards, but what is a bit of a fool is that Meng Xu can only get half of all the milestone rewards, because the other half belongs to Kidd.
"If a classic can be copied, then he is not a classic." Seeing that there was still a trace of obsession in Meng Xu's eyes, Anna just smiled, and then turned around and left, leaving only Meng Xu who was stunned and muttering to himself.

"Meng, in this game, you have to be mentally prepared in advance." On May 27, 2002, after a two-day break, the Pacers traveled to New Jersey with a 2-0 lead, and the third and fourth games of the Eastern Conference Finals will be played at the Continental Airlines Arena, home of the New Jersey Nets. After arranging the tactical arrangements and game strategies for this game, Larry Berdra stopped Meng Xu, who was about to walk out of the locker room, and said a few words to him in a deep voice.
"Larry, did you hear something?" Seeing Larry Bird's cautious touch, Meng Xu smiled, it has been almost a year since he came to the Pacers, and it was the first time he had seen Larry Bird appear like this.
"Didn't you hear the talk outside?" Larry Bird, who originally just wanted to remind Meng Xu, saw Meng Xu with a cheap smile on his face, and asked knowingly, he immediately reached out and grabbed Meng Xu's head, when is it, this guy still looks heartless, it seems necessary to make him have a long heart.
"Larry, don't scratch my hair!" Meng Xu shouted hysterically while dodging, after letting go of his obsession with that layup yesterday, Meng Xu's mood became surprisingly good, but now, Meng Xu's good mood was all ruined by Larry Bird. The Pacers players who were waiting outside the locker room, after hearing Meng Xu's voice, immediately burst into laughter, after Meng Xu joined the Pacers, in a very short period of time, almost the entire Pacers knew that Meng Xu hated others touching his head very much, but until now, they didn't know, why Meng Xu would be so taboo about touching his head?
"Okay, okay, it's going to be played soon, and today's whistle is definitely going to be very biased in favor of New Jerseys, so you have to be a little prepared, especially careful, don't get hurt." Seeing Meng Xu rushing over to grab his hair with his teeth and claws, Larry Bird immediately returned to his seriousness and said with a serious face.
"Well, I see." Meng Xu put down his arm that was still in the air with some embarrassment, nodded at Larry Bird, and then walked out of the locker room.
In fact, yesterday, Meng Xu heard some rumors from Nike, according to the news from Nike, David Stern, the president of the league, was very dissatisfied with the Eastern Conference Finals, in the two Eastern Conference Finals that have ended, the average ratings of the Pacers and the Nets are as high as 11.7%, especially in the fourth quarter of the first game, the peak ratings reached an astonishing 14.5%, which is the highest-rated round of the Division Finals after Jordan retired, you must know the ongoing Western Conference Finals, The average ratings per game are less than 8%, which is still in the case of the Lakers and Kings playing very intensely, it stands to reason that the division finals played higher ratings than the finals, David Stern should be happy, but now it is the opposite, it is rumored that Mr. David Stern is already very anxious.
Jason Kidd is a veteran superstar of the league, although he has not been praised by the league in recent years, but Kidd is a frequent visitor to the All-Star and the best team after all, and now the first organization guard, has a large number of fans and popularity throughout North America, and Meng Xu has been the successor of Larry Bird since he entered the league, and then because of his elegant style of play, and imaginative passing, and gorgeous ball style, he quickly attracted a large number of fans, plus the reason why he came from China, and the league behind the scenes, Since last season, Meng Xu has been the most popular superstar in the entire league. Therefore, the triple-double battle between Meng Xu and Kidd has attracted enough attention without the league operating behind the scenes, in this case, for more ratings, David Stern also very much hopes that the matchup between the Pacers and the Nets, Meng Xu and Kidd can be at the point of intenseness, for the league and all sponsors, the two sides had better fight 7 games to earn enough gimmicks.
But judging from the previous two games, whether inside or outside, the Nets are a notch behind the Pacers, losing to the Pacers by more than 10 points in each game, it can be said that they have no temper to lose, if they continue like this, the Nets are very likely to be swept by the Pacers, and such a situation is definitely not what the league wants to see, so the rumors that David Stern is ready to operate one or two in this round of the series slowly spread. Therefore, Larry Bird, who received the rumors, is naturally very dissatisfied, in case the league has a hand slip and uses too much force, and the Nets' two home courts, the Pacers have all lost, then the Pacers' psychological advantage that they have worked so hard to establish before is gone, and it is possible for the Pacers to be reversed by the Nets, but now, in addition to cursing David Stern in his heart for giving birth to XX without XX, Larry Bird can only remind this group of players under his command to be careful.
Although the league's home whistle, has enough psychological preparation, but Meng Xu still underestimated the league's discipline, only 3 minutes into the game, Jermaine O'Neal and Lorenzen White fouled twice, substitute Jeff Foster, played less than two minutes and accumulated two fouls, Larry Bird once had to let James Posey go to the center cameo, Meng Xu to play power forward, if it weren't for the league is also hyping himself and Kidd for the showdown, Meng Xu can be sure, He couldn't play a few minutes on the court, and in the following game, as long as Jermaine O'Neal played, within a minute, he would be fouled by Kidd, and after losing Jermaine O'Neal, Jason Kidd hit the Pacers' basket without hesitation, and scored 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists in less than 3 quarters. Although the whistle on the court started to get normal in the final minutes of the game, it was too late, and finally when the game ended, the Pacers lost to the Nets 91-96.
"It's still a little bit rewarding." After the whistle blew at the end of the game, Meng Xu received a reminder in his ears to get a milestone reward, in this game, Meng Xu and Kidd once again continued the momentum of brushing each other's triple-doubles, Kidd shot 15 of 27, 3 of 6 3-pointers, 12 of 16 free throws, cut 45 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, Meng Xu also scored 38 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists. At the last moment of the game, the Pacers once fell behind the Nets by more than 10 points, and after never being able to catch up with the score through conventional means, after hesitating for a long time, Meng Xu finally began to give up the idea of using ultimate, after all, there is a 500-minute cooldown of game time, and if you use it at this time, you will have no chance in the finals.
