Chapter 314: The Pacers' New Tactics?

"Meng, it's time for us to change, you need to break through a little bit more, otherwise we will probably lose this game." After the timeout, Larry Bird switched to the bench lineup, and then walked to the side of Meng Xu, who was sweating profusely. Now the situation on the court is not optimistic, after the start of the second quarter, the referee's whistle suddenly loosened, so the Pacers, who are used to the rhythm of the game in the first quarter, had a brief discomfort, Larry Bird called two timeouts in a row, made targeted arrangements, and only slightly changed the situation, but the Knicks also took the opportunity to overtake the score.

"Yes." After hearing Larry Bird's words, Meng Xu also nodded, and there was no resistance. This game against the Knicks is to be won no matter what, and what could be more embarrassing to the New Yorkers than giving the Knicks a crushing defeat at Madison? Apparently not. But if the Pacers only rely on the current style of play, it will still be difficult to defeat the Knicks, and in Meng Xu's heart, he undoubtedly wants to give the Knicks a fiasco, and it is best to slaughter them in order to hit the arrogance of the New Yorkers, especially Dolan Jr.

Larry Bird's tactical freedom to Meng Xu can be said to be the highest in the entire league, mainly because the Pacers currently have no mature tactical system at all, Larry Bird's previous run-and-cut pass tactics around Reggie Miller were beaten into the cold by Isaiah Thomas last season, and Isaiah Thomas's combination of inside and outside tactics that he wanted to implement in the Pacers was also pushed down by Larry Bird. And in Larry Bird's view, whether it is a run-and-cut pass tactic or a combination of internal and external tactics, it is either not suitable for Meng Xu's style of play, or it cannot give full play to Meng Xu's maximum use. But Larry Bird is not a master tactician, he can tailor a set of suitable tactics for Meng Xu, so Larry Bird's arrangement for Meng Xu is that he can play at will according to his own ideas on the field, in short, xjbd tactics, and he can tinker with it on the side. Larry Bird has always believed that according to Meng Xu's ball quotient and ability, he can make the most beneficial choice for the team on the field, Meng Xu has this ability, and Larry Bird has always had confidence in Meng Xu.

"Don't worry, Larry, let them be arrogant for a while, and then we're kicking them into hell." Looking at the head coach with an anxious face, Meng Xu smiled and comforted on the side.

"I hope so." After hearing Meng Xu's words, Larry Bird's expression also relaxed a little.

。。。。。。

Just when there were less than 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Larry Bird called the third timeout of the game in this quarter and replaced the main lineup, in the two bench lineup matchups, the Pacers lost to the Knicks by 5 points, and the difference between the two teams was also widened to 7 points, seeing that the score behind was about to run for 10 points, Larry Bird had to call a timeout in advance and replace all the main lineup.

"Jamal, you organize." When Jamal Tinsley gave the ball to Meng Xu as usual, Meng Xu passed the basketball back to Jamal Tinsley, and after shouting at him by the way, Meng Xu, like Reggie Miller, began to run without the ball.

And Jamal Tinsley, who received Meng Xu's return pass, was also stunned for a moment, obviously unable to accept the situation in front of him, the Pacers because of the existence of Meng Xu, Jamal Tinsley was mentally prepared to be a dribble guard after being traded, and in the previous games, Jamal Tinsley did this, as long as the dribble passed half the court, he would hand over the basketball to Meng Xu as soon as possible, and he was pulling away or running without the ball, although Jamal Tinsley has adapted well to a role, But that doesn't mean Jamal Tinsley has something else on his mind. Also as the last rookie in the first round, Meng Xu is undoubtedly the goal of many rookies in a similar situation to himself, and Jamal Tinsley is also one of them, Jamal Tinsley is also YY in his heart countless times, after entering the league, punching Kidd, kicking Payton, and abusing Duncan and O'Neal by the way, but this is obviously impossible, for Jamal Tinsley, the most realistic goal is to be a real playmaker in the Pacers, That's what Jamal Tinsley has been working on at this stage.

Since the beginning of this season, Jamal Tinsley has fantasized many times that one day he will control the ball of the Pacers, whether it is the team's boss Meng Xu or the team's boss Reggie Miller, what will be the scene around him to play, but he didn't expect this day to really come, and it came so early, it was a little unacceptable to be early.

"Jamal, don't get stunned, pass the ball quickly." Just when Jamal Tinsley was still distracted, Meng Xu, who had already gotten rid of Ratriel Sprewell, yelled at him.

"Oh." After waking up in Meng Xu's shouting, Jamal Tinsley immediately handed the basketball to Meng Xu, who was already vacant, through a ground pass, and after receiving the pass, Meng Xu hit an easy 3-point shot, narrowing the gap between the two teams to 4 points.

"Meng Xu actually handed over the ball? Is the current tactics of the Pacers a special arrangement for Larry? Looking at the Pacers' current set of somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar playing methods, Magic Johnson also looked puzzled, Meng Xu actually called out the ball like this, and played without the ball with Reggie Miller?

Reggie Miller's off-ball running can be said to be one of the best in the entire league, and Meng Xu's off-ball running is not inferior to Reggie Miller, because Meng Xu learned Reggie Miller's running skills. In the head-to-head between the Pacers and the Knicks, one Reggie Miller is enough for the Knicks to be uncomfortable, let alone two at once in this game. Therefore, when Meng Xu and Reggie Miller both began to play without the ball, the Knicks' defense was torn apart in an instant, and the two kept cutting in the air, running back, and occasionally coming to a cross run, under the seemingly chaotic but actually very tacit weird running position of Meng Xu and Reggie Miller, whether it was Ratrier Sprewell who defended Meng Xu, or Alan Houston who defended Meng Xu, they couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the two.

"Oh my God, Alan Houston and Ratrill Sprewell actually collided." Just after Meng Xu and Reggie Miller completed a cross run, Alan Houston and Latrill Sprewell, who were trying to catch up behind the two, dodged and collided directly together.

Reggie Miller hit a 3-pointer, the Pacers overtook the score, and what about Alan Houston, who defended him? Oh my God, Alain was blocked by his teammate Ratril Sprewell. When the unguarded Reggie Miller hit a 3-point shot to help the Pacers overtake by one point, looking at Alan Houston, who was playing like a monkey and being slipped by Reggie Miller, Michaels really sympathized with him now.

"Meng Xu and Reggie Miller's cooperation and coverage are really good, whether it is Alan Houston or Latril Sprewell, they are not the kind of players who have poor defense, and the Knicks have always been the top 5 defensive teams in the league, but now the Knicks look like they don't have any defense, Alan Houston and Latrill Sprewell are like two headless flies, scurrying around the court aimlessly."

"Reggie, well done, you see Xiao Daolan's dead face is green." After Reggie Miller hit the shot, Meng Xu on the other side of the court immediately ran over to high-five Reggie Miller to celebrate, and at the same time sat in a very exaggerated celebration gesture, deliberately laughing at the small Daolan on the sidelines.
