Chapter 400: Jordan's Law

"Can't let that kid keep scoring!" Under the reminder of the assistant coach, Phil Jackson, who came to his senses, immediately called a long timeout, and yelled at the Lakers players who had just walked off the court and sat on the bench, and were already obviously a little overwhelmed, and yelled loudly with all their strength, hoping to reawaken their fighting spirit, in fact, what Phil Jackson didn't know was that at this moment, his hands were already trembling slightly, although the Lakers still had a 2-point advantage, but Meng Xu just made 3 consecutive 3-pointers, With the addition of the three 3-pointers he hit in the first half of the fourth quarter, Meng Xu has scored 18 points in the fourth quarter, and Meng Xu's almost crazy performance has reawakened the Lakers' terrifying memories of that 35-point night in a single quarter.

At this moment, on the big screen of the Staples Center, Meng Xu's data in this game was played, 23 of 37 shots, 7 of 12 3-pointers, 7 of 10 free throws, 60 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, and then appeared on the big screen is the Lakers' celebrity, the league's top 50 superstars, the famous 8 Asian king Elgin Baylor, and he has maintained a 40-year-long single-game scoring record in the finals, in the 61-62 season and the Celtics Finals Battle of King Mountain, Elgin Baylor scored 61 points, but he didn't expect that today, after 40 years of this record, it was also the home court of the Lakers, and Meng Xu was only one step away from this record. Soon, the broadcast camera of the scene was given to the third row of the left stand of the Staples Center, where there were more than a dozen famous Lakers in history, including Elgin Baylor, Elgin Baylor also showed a smile with great difficulty when he found that the broadcast camera was aimed at him, tonight, Elgin Baylor was undoubtedly the most embarrassing person on the scene.

After Phil Jackson's roar, the Lakers' two leading players, O'Neal and Kobe, stood up from their seats almost at the same time, O'Neal waved his arms and roared angrily, cheering for his teammates, while Kobe Bryant was with his hands on his hips, looking straight at Meng Xu in the distance, no one knew what Kobe was thinking in his heart at this moment, as for the words that O'Neal and Phil Jackson shouted next to him, Kobe Bryant didn't care at all.

"Guys, the balance of victory is already tilting in our favor, and we will definitely win this game!" Seeing Meng Xu hit three 3-pointers in a row after the official timeout, Larry Bird couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart at the moment, and after the Pacers players on the court left the court with excitement and excitement on their faces, Larry Bird and Reggie Miller first high-fived them one by one, and then immediately shouted at them.

"Jamal, James, you two pay attention to cover for Meng, Jermaine, Lorenzen, you two pay attention to protect the rebound." After a burst of cheering and cheering, Larry Bird picked up the tactics board in his hand again, summoned all the players who were going to play after the timeout to his side, and scribbled on it with a marker, perhaps because of the trembling hands of too excited, when he looked at the tactics again, he couldn't recognize what he had drawn on it.

"Meng, after the timeout, Phil Jackson is likely to be even more crazy about wrapping you up, so you have to be a little more careful." When Meng Xu was only one point away from breaking Elgin Baylor's Finals scoring record, Larry Bird was already able to predict how much strength the Lakers would use to encircle Meng Xu after the game restarted, and change places, if Larry Bird is the head coach of the Lakers, even if he fights to lose this game, he can't let Meng Xu break the record, really let Meng Xu cut 60+ on the Lakers' home court and break the Finals scoring record, how will these players on the court and Phil Jackson see people in the future, At the same time, Larry Bird is also worried that these Lakers players are in a hurry, and they use their hands and feet together, in case Meng Xu is injured, it will not be good. Although Larry Bird also moved the idea of replacing Meng Xu, the Pacers are still two points behind, so it is impossible for Larry Bird to replace Meng Xu, unless Larry Bird does not want to win this game.

As Larry Bird expected, when the game restarted, when it was the Pacers' turn to attack, the Lakers' three players directly surrounded Meng Xu in the backcourt.

"Is this Jordan's Law?" After seeing the Lakers' players frantically encircling Meng Xu on the court, and not hesitating to empty James Posey and Jamal Tinsley, as a famous legend of the Lakers, Magic Johnson is now dumbfounded: "It's really crazy, I didn't expect that the Lakers would use Jordan's law one day!" ”

"It's crazy, it's crazy, I didn't expect that after more than ten years, Jordan's law will reappear again." After seeing the Lakers use Jordan's rule on Meng Xu, Michaels, who personally experienced the Pistons' encirclement and suppression of Jordan in those years, became a little hysterical after a brief loss of consciousness, perhaps Michaels also recalled Jordan's glory at this moment.

"I must take Meng Xu to Busan!" At this moment, not only the audience at the scene, but even all the people watching the game in front of the TV were shocked by the crazy scene in front of them, of course, including Jiang Quan, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team who was watching the game in the box, Meng Xu is very capable and has been improving, which is very clear to Jiang Quan, who has been paying attention to the NBA and Meng Xu, but Meng Xu is now strong to this point, which really makes Jiang Quan a little unexpected, as long as he can take Meng Xu to Busan, The gold medal is not proper, as for the South Korean team, as long as Meng Xu takes out half of the state of today's game, crushing them is as simple as crushing a group of ants, but when he thinks of the conditions proposed by Meng Xu and his agent, Jiang Quan's heart is full of entanglement and unwillingness, before coming to the United States, the leaders of the Basketball Association have already given themselves the bottom, and there are some bottom lines that Jiang Quan can't and dare not touch.

"Are these people crazy? I really don't know what kind of mentality Jordan had after playing the game against the Pistons. When the time gradually passed, and the game ended with less than two minutes left, Meng Xu was also annoyed by the Lakers' defense, Fisher, Kobe and Rick Fox were like farts and worms, following themselves closely, and at the same time they were up and down, these guys are now doing nothing, and no one cares, and Robert Hawley has been cruising not far from him, ready to attack himself at any time, this kind of defense only lasted for 3 minutes, Meng Xu couldn't stand it, I really don't know how Jordan insisted on playing a series with the Pistons year after year. However, seeing that on the scoreboard, the Pacers have surpassed the Lakers by 5 points, Meng Xu's heart is somewhat balanced, at least this game is still won, and his big move is not in vain, as for the record or something, it is better to keep it and break it later.

"What's the situation?" Just when Meng Xu was constantly comforting himself in his heart, and was ready to give up breaking the scoring record in the finals in this game, the referee's whistle on duty suddenly sounded, and the referee actually blew Rick Fox's defensive foul, because the Lakers had already accumulated four fouls, so Meng Xu had to execute two free throws, and Meng Xu was a little confused about the referee's operation.

Just after the referee's whistle blew, the Lakers players on the court immediately surrounded the referee, not to mention whether Rick Fox had a foul when defending Meng Xu, it was obvious that at this time, blowing the Lakers' foul sent Meng Xu to the free throw line, in their opinion, it was a kind of dark box operation, so they were very dissatisfied with the referee on duty, this kind of artificially assisted Meng Xu to break the record, if it was okay to beat the referee, the referee of this game would definitely not be able to get out of the Staples Center alive, Not only the Lakers players on the court, but even the Lakers fans who have always regarded themselves as aristocrats began to boo on the court after seeing the situation on the scene, and Phil Jackson had long lost his Zen-like concentration, untied the opening on his suit, and pointed at the referee in the court with one hand and scolded.
