Chapter 334: Is it going to be a lore again?

"Meng Xu got rid of Bruce Bowen, Duncan's defense was very timely, Meng Xu passed the ball back, Jamal Tinsley, the unguarded Jamal Tinsley actually hesitated, made a three-point shot, missed, what a pity."

"Larry Bird called a timeout, and for a few minutes, the Pacers seemed to be in a difficult situation, and the whole team suddenly lost their touch, and I don't know what Larry will do next to solve this problem." When the Spurs began to shrink the defense and squeeze Meng Xu's breakthrough, several outside lines of the Pacers collectively lost their touch, and in addition to Reggie Miller's shot in several consecutive offenses, the rest of the shots, whether it was James Posey or Jamal Tinsley, all of them hit the iron several times, and the Spurs also took this opportunity to overtake the score.

"It's normal for form to fluctuate in a game, but it's rare to see something as weird as the Pacers." It is difficult for any player to maintain a very good condition and feel in a game, so it is very normal for the feeling to fluctuate, but it is rare for all players to lose their hand collectively in a team, like the Pacers, how to shoot on time, and no one can shoot if no one can shoot in the inaccurate collective.

"James, Jamal, don't hesitate, shoot decisively when you get the chance, don't be afraid to miss, understand?" The main reason why Larry Bird called this timeout was not that the Spurs overtook the score, but because after continuous iron playing, James Posey and Jamal Tinsley were a little hesitant when they received Meng Xu's pass again, especially Jamal Tinsley, because he was a rookie, after many missed shots, he obviously had a psychological burden, so as soon as they got off the court, Larry Bird pulled the two of them to his side.

"I can't believe that this will happen." Taking the towel handed over by the assistant coach, Meng Xu glanced at the Spurs' bench while wiping his sweat. In this game, when almost the whole team of the Pacers felt hot, Popovich first let Meng Xu break through, focused on several outside lines of the Pacers, and then when their hand was almost cold, they suddenly let them shoot, and the next step, when their hand felt better, Popovich will definitely focus on them again, and so on several times, in the fourth quarter, they are afraid that they will be finished collectively. This is still under the condition that Meng Xu has the system and skills to provide them with a hit rate bonus, and several of them can be like this, as soon as he thought of this, Meng Xu shook his head, if you want to win this game, it is not so easy.

"Meng, you are the heart and leader of the team, and when your teammates can't score, you should step up." After seeing Meng Xu wipe his sweat, Lester Connell, the assistant coach who was waiting by Meng Xu's side, finally spoke. In Leicester Connell's heart, Meng Xu is simply a wonder, when he is normal, as long as any teammate has a chance, he will pass the basketball to him at the first time, even if you miss the front 5 shots, as long as there is a chance, I will still pass the ball to you, this game is a good example, from this point of view, Meng Xu is definitely a qualified leader and core, but once Meng Xu "draws the wind", I don't care who you are, you have to stand aside, come and see me play, this kind of player is rare in the world, Although Larry Bird didn't say anything, as an assistant coach, Lester Connell also hopes that Meng Xu's double-faced nature can be neutralized.

"Yes." Although he was already 3 points behind the Spurs, Meng Xu didn't want to take over the game so early, now it's only the third quarter, how can he have so much physical strength to support until the end of the game, in the previous game, he continued to rush to the Spurs' basket, and he was already half tired to death. And if at this time, he gave up on his teammates and stopped passing the ball to them, and their hands would definitely be even colder in the fourth quarter, at that time, their physical strength was exhausted, and their teammates did not have time to find their touch, and the Pacers had no choice but to surrender. But out of respect for the assistant coach, Meng Xu didn't say anything, but nodded to him, and he would make a few appropriate shots in the future.

After that, the process of the game was similar to what Meng Xu guessed, the Pacers could no longer find the kind of shooting rate in the first quarter, perhaps because they were infected by the touch of their teammates, and even with Meng Xu's shooting rate dropped significantly, after the end of the third quarter, 72-81, the Pacers had fallen behind the Spurs by nearly 10 points.

After the restart of the game between the two teams in the fourth quarter, Meng Xu, who was resting on the bench, looked at the Pacers' bench lineup under the leadership of James Posey and Al Harrington, and when the bench lineup of the Pacers still did not give up, and was very tenacious to move the score back a little bit, Meng Xu felt for the first time this season that he was a little unable to control the situation of the game, in the previous game, no matter how the situation develops, what the final result will be, Meng Xu has a confidence that he can control the game, and this game has been played until now, Meng Xu found that the game was out of his rhythm and control.

"It looks like we're going to have to look for a good inside line sooner." Looking at Meng Xu, who was staring at the court and not saying a word, Larry Bird said secretly in his heart. If the Pacers lose this game, then they must lose on the inside, and the slightly immature Jermaine O'Neal, when facing the Spurs' inside, is basically kneaded by Duncan, in this case, even if the Pacers can stand out in the East in the next few years, but in the face of the West team that has a super inside, the Pacers still have no chance of winning, but in the current league, excellent insides are very popular, and since the offseason, Larry Bird has been seeking to sign a good center, but it has never been possible, and now it seems that the inside line is an urgent problem for the Pacers to solve.

"Al, you're doing awesome." After the official timeout came in the fourth quarter, Meng Xu, who was originally sitting on the bench, walked to the sidelines and high-fived the substitute players who were leaving the court one by one. Led by James Posey, Al Harrington, and Bobby Simmons, the Pacers' bench moved the score back to 5 points when they went off the court, and it can be said that they did their job very well. With six minutes left in the game, the five-point gap is not irretrievable.

"I'm going to win." Re-onto the court, looking at Duncan, who was not far away and stepped on the court almost at the same time, Meng Xu secretly swore in his heart. Every player who enters this league will have a common dream, that is, he will be the only protagonist on the court, and he will become the king of the league, and it is precisely because of this dream that Meng Xu will choose to leave the Spurs, in order to prove that he can also win without Duncan, so the game with the Spurs, Meng Xu can't lose the game no matter what.

"Reggie, wait until you all pull away, Jermaine, block it for me." After the main lineup of the two teams returned to the game, as the time passed minute by minute, the difference between the two sides always hovered around 5 points, when there were only the last 3 minutes of the game, Meng Xu finally couldn't help it, after the Spurs completed the attack, Meng Xu directly pulled Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal.

"Don't worry, Meng." Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal nodded at the same time, and Jermaine O'Neal couldn't hide the joy in his heart, this game was simply a torture for Jermaine O'Neal, Duncan's ruthless destruction of himself was simply outrageous, so after Meng Xu signaled that he was going to take over the game, the originally low Jermaine O'Neal immediately became excited.

"Al, it looks like this game won't be won until the last minute." This Christmas battle between the Spurs and the Pacers is absolutely a perfect game from the audience's point of view, from the various hypes and gimmicks before the start of the game, and after the game starts, it is so anxious and tortuous, it would be even more perfect if the winner could be separated through a stunner.

"Erwin, perhaps, this is another game that will be decided by a stunner." Michaels is also excited now, the game between the Lakers and the Wizards has just ended, originally a game that seemed to be a huge disparity between strength and weakness, the Lakers actually relied on Kobe's quasi-lore to narrowly defeat the Wizards, although they lost the game, but Jordan scored a game-high 48 points, which undoubtedly made Michaels, who had been silent for a long time, re-active.
