"It's over." Watching Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer again, Pitino's heart was dripping blood, and he finally pulled the score difference back to within 10, and the rookie on the opposite side scored 2 consecutive 3-pointers after playing, and the score difference widened to 12 points again.

And at this time, Anthony Walker also looked at Meng Xu with some complications, before this game, Anthony Walker really didn't think that a rookie who averaged 8 points and 6 rebounds per game could pose any kind of threat to himself. Although his defense is not good, his offensive ability is at the forefront of the league, and he also has the ability to score 3 points that he thinks is good, and it is not a matter of minutes to blow up this rookie.

Therefore, Anthony Walker is also very disdainful of Larry Bird's evaluation of Meng Xu, and thinks that only he is worthy of the title of Larry Bird's second.

This year is Anthony Walker's fourth season, and every player in the league's small forward position, Anthony Walker can be said to be very familiar, whether it is facing an all-round small forward like Grant Hill, or an offensive small forward like Vince Carter, or some defensive small forwards in the league, Anthony Walker can be at ease, and no matter how bad it is, he can also blow each other up.

So in this game, Anthony Walker also returned to the position of small forward, bent on teaching this kid a lesson, but this kid's performance surprised him, if Meng Xu's defensive ability in the previous game only made Anthony Walker a little painful, then Meng Xu's long-range shooting ability now makes Anthony Walker a little jealous.

As a player with a height of 2.06 meters and now weighing more than 110 kilograms, Anthony Walker does not like to go to the inside line, but likes to shoot very much, especially outside shooting, although he thinks he is the biggest big man in the league who can shoot 3 points, but for those 3-point players, Anthony Walker is still very envious.

"What a funny little guy." Seeing Meng Xuna's very similar shooting posture to Larry Bird, as well as his excellent 3-point ability, the cardinal in the box showed a long-lost smile, and even picked up a cigar for the first time, put it under his nose and sniffed it continuously.

"Teacher." Bill Russell was also nervous when he saw the cardinal pick up the cigar, and after the cardinal was diagnosed with a heart attack, he quit his favorite cigar.

Meng Xu showed two extremes in this game, in the first 3 quarters of the game, the defensive end tried his best, and the offensive end played very selflessly, but after the last quarter of the game, he began to attack the basket frantically, and all 6 consecutive offenses ended with 3-point shooting from the outside, which was jaw-dropping.

"A combination of angel and devil, no wonder Larry would say that this little guy is the one who is most like himself." The cardinal put the cigar on the tea machine, put away his smile, and said quietly.

"I just don't know what his potential is." After hearing the cardinal's final evaluation, Bill Russell nodded, but he was still a little optimistic about Meng Xu's physical talent.

"At least it won't be worse than it is now, will it!" After saying that, the cardinal picked up the cigar again, lit it, and then did not put it in his mouth, but between his fingers, and let it burn slowly, allowing the cigar to smell in every corner of the box.

"There are still 5 points left," Meng Xu hit another 3-pointer, and the head coaches of both sides did not call a timeout, and the game on the court continued. Meng Xu hit two 3-pointers in a row after the opening, but then missed 3 shots, although the surface is still very calm, but after hitting the iron three times in a row, Meng Xu's heart was also a little panicked, but fortunately, he hit two 3-pointers in a row after that.

Glancing at the sidelines, Meng Xu found that Popovich was blushing, but Duncan was covering his mouth and snickering on the bench. Popovich is a coach who attaches great importance to the team and defense, and in his team, there is basically no situation of wasting shots and brushing statistics, even the team's tactical core Duncan, as long as he misses two shots, he must hand over the next offensive opportunity to his teammates, and he can not shoot again until he recovers his touch.

And to Meng Xu now, ignoring his teammates and making a casual shot, is simply provoking Popovich's bottom line, after seeing Duncan's ill-intentioned eyes, Meng Xu knows that after this game, he will definitely be unlucky.

After realizing his mistake and the inhumane treatment he might receive after the game, Meng Xu also felt a chill down his spine.

"Don't be too arrogant, boy, this is the North Shore Garden." When Paul Pierce controlled the ball and appeared outside the 3-point line, he saw Meng Xu who came to defend him, and said a little angrily.

Several times in a row, no matter how he defended him, this kid didn't take himself seriously at all, and jumped directly outside the 3-point line, the kind of jump height is not high, and the shot with a slight backward lean is very similar to Larry Bird, and after this kid hits the basket, he imitates Larry Bird's celebration action, and his lungs are about to explode.

"Be careful. Don't lose the ball. Looking at Pierce, who was a little angry, Meng Xu just smiled. Although he is a small forward, Pierce's ball control is still very good, and Meng Xu tried several times without breaking the ball in his hand.

"Bastard." Thinking of the embarrassing scene where Meng Xu was almost cut off the ball in the first few rounds, Pierce was also a little embarrassed.

When Pierce was ready to break through with the ball again, he encountered the same situation as just now, under Meng Xu's close defense, Pierce couldn't get rid of Meng Xu at all, but was constantly forced to the sideline by Meng Xu.

Seeing that he was about to take another step to break out of the sideline, Pierce made an emergency stop and retracted his footsteps in an attempt to pass the basketball out. But at the moment when he was about to pass the ball, Meng Xu posted it again, and Pierce felt inexplicably nervous, and the basketball was out of his hand.

After the basketball that fell from Pierce's hand was obtained by Meng Xu, Meng Xu directly accelerated and rushed towards the front court, with Meng Xu's straight-line acceleration ability, every Celtic player on the court could only reach the dust.

"That's a lot of speed." Pierce behind Meng Xu was even more dumbfounded, and even forgot to defend himself.

Can't see the shocked expressions behind him, Meng Xu at this moment can only feel that his speed is getting faster and faster, and there is even a whirring wind in his ears, just when he rushes into the free throw line with the ball, Meng Xu can no longer control his pace, and Meng Xu flies directly more than a meter inside the free throw line.

With a bang, although the jump height was not enough, and before he got close to the basket, his body had already begun to decline, but relying on the huge inertia and super long arm span, Meng Xu still completed the dunk.
