Chapter 290: Three Forks in the Road

"Spurs have changed formations?" When all the players of the two teams reappeared, looking at the Spurs' lineup on the court, Phil Jackson's eyelids jumped inexplicably.

Sure enough, when the Spurs began to attack, Phil Jackson's guess was confirmed, Meng Xu sent a baseline ball, and Jalen Jackson, who came off the bench, began to advance towards the half court with the ball.

"It seems that I still look down on you a little, I really can't imagine that you can get rid of it so quickly." Looking at Popovich with his hands in front of his chest in the distance, Phil Jackson nodded with a smile: "From today onwards, we belong to a level." ”

In the previous game, as long as Meng Xu dribbled close to the top of the arc, the Lakers' bag clamp on Meng Xu began, as the Spurs' organizational guard, in this way, the basketball in Meng Xu's hands will become very long, and the Spurs' offensive rotation is also difficult to be smooth, often after Meng Xu gets rid of the bag and passes the ball out, the basketball has not been reversed a few hands, and the time is almost 20 seconds, but because of the Lakers' bag of Meng Xu, Meng Xu can get 1 to 1 The chance is very small, BA's current rules do not allow early wrapping of off-ball players, so when Meng Xu's time with the ball is reduced, Meng Xu can avoid the Lakers' early packing, so as to get more offensive opportunities. Therefore, the signal released by Popovich's move is very obvious, that is, to liberate Meng Xu's attack.

So at this time, when Meng Xu, who was without the ball, appeared on the left side of the 3-point line, Kobe and Robert Hawley, who were originally going to wrap Meng Xu, were also very obviously stunned, because Phil Jackson did not arrange for them at all, Meng Xu's defensive choice after handing over the ball, at this time, if the two still directly wrapped Meng Xu as before, then they would definitely be blown for illegal defense. After a little hesitation, Kobe Bryant quickly pasted Meng Xu, after all, one of his tasks in this game was to defend Meng Xu, and Robert Hawley, who was in charge of assisting the defense, could only go to the other side of the court to defend Mario Elie.

And Meng Xu almost didn't pause after seeing Kobe Bryant rushing towards him, and he was ready to get rid of Kobe Bryant along the 3-point line through the bottom line, and by the way, he also disrupted the Lakers' interior defense. In this game, Kobe Bryant was about the same as Meng Xu in terms of agility, reaction speed and even strength, but there was still some gap between the two sides in speed and running, so when Meng Xu went from the bottom line to the right side of the court along the 3-point line, Kobe Bryant had been thrown away by Meng Xu, and at the same time, Duncan, who was facing O'Neal with his back, passed the basketball to Meng Xu behind him very tacitly through a half-turn.

In the case that O'Neal was entangled by Duncan and Kobe Bryant was out of position, Hores Grant, who was still on the left side of the basket, directly dropped David Robinson and pounced on Meng Xu, but the next scene made Hores Grant unforgettable for life, less than 1 meter away from the bottom corner, Meng Xu, who received Duncan's pass, did not shoot directly, but rushed towards Hores Grant.

"The boy who doesn't know whether he lives or dies is too arrogant." Looking at Meng Xu who rushed towards him, Hores Grant was also shocked by Meng Xu's courage, no matter how bad I am, I was once selected as an All-Star and the best defensive team many times, and I have established a dynasty with Jordan, I have never seen any wind and waves, I will be afraid of you little guy, so Hores Grant was under the basket and jumped up directly against Meng Xu.

"Horace is really unlucky, but Scottie will be happy to see this." When Meng Xu was about 3 meters away from the basket, after jumping directly against Hores Grant in front, the big bald head in the box in the distance also shook his head and looked at his assistant and teammates with pity.

"What?" Hores Grant, who had already calculated Meng Xu's jumping route and used all his strength, was ready to crash into it fiercely, and taught this little guy a lesson, but at the moment when his body came into contact with Meng Xu's body, he found that he was directly bounced back as if he had hit a wall, while Meng Xu was clinging to his body and continued to slide forward.

"It's over." Although it has not fallen from the sky yet, but now Hores-Grant is already dead-faced, when he was hit by Meng Xu in the air, Hores-Grant knew what would happen later, if he was ridden by Duncan, he could still find a little reason to comfort himself, then this time, Hores-Grant really doesn't know if he will have the courage to step on the court in the future.

With a bang, just as Staples exclaimed, one of Meng Xu's hands was already hanging on the basket, and under Meng Xu's body, it happened to be Horace Grant, who had taken several steps back after being knocked into the air just now.

"It's really incredible, Meng has such outstanding strength and explosiveness." For Meng Xu's riding buckle Horace Grant, especially the riding buckle after knocking Hores Grant down in the air, the audience was only shocked, incredibly shocked. Hores Grant is also a strong interior line with a height of nearly 2.10 meters, even if his strength is not as good as perverts such as O'Neal and Duncan, but it is not comparable to outside players, and Hores Grant not only did not have the slightest advantage in the aerial confrontation with Meng Xu just now, but was also directly knocked to the ground by Meng Xu.

After Meng Xu rode Hores-Grant, he did not make any extra celebrations, but very calmly high-fived Duncan to celebrate, looking like everything should be like this. Hores Grant's attributes, Meng Xu is not clear, but one thing is certain, that is, his strength will never exceed 90, and after Meng Xu used the magic potion, the strength attribute reached 95, and the explosive power reached 101, and after this season's weight gain, Meng Xu's weight has always remained above 95 kilograms, and with the huge impact brought by Meng Xu's acceleration, it is not surprising that he can knock down the aging Hores Grant in the air.

"It's crazy." Looking at Hores Grant who was in a trance after being ridden by Meng Xu in the distance, Magic Johnson's heart was also mixed, today's game was definitely a shameful day for Hores Grant, a game was ridden twice, and Horrest Grant's inner humiliation can be imagined. At the same time, the magician's eyes looking at Meng Xu also revealed a hint of other looks, Meng Xu's physical fitness is better than that of ordinary yellow people, and can even be comparable to black people, which can be seen from the usual games, Meng Xu's various flat frame violent buckles, but from this riding buckle just now, Magic Johnson knew that everyone still underestimated Meng Xu's physical fitness, and this perverted physical fitness will help Meng Xu open the door to another channel, There are three paths a player can choose from on his own path, and just thinking about it makes people feel crazy.

In fact, Meng Xu is also a little confused now, with the continuous enhancement of strength, and after experiencing the breakthroughs of Kobe and Garnett, Meng Xu is now closer and closer to choosing his own path, and Meng Xu has not yet made it clear which path to choose. According to Anna's introduction, Meng Xu will have 3 paths to choose from in the future, one is the killing path chosen by Kobe and Iverson, the breakthrough of this path is the easiest, but the upper limit of this path is also the lowest. The other is the most common in the league at present, the king who chooses the most players, this selection has higher requirements for players than killing, and the upper limit is also a little higher, and the current Popovich's cultivation of Meng Xu is basically carried out according to this path. And the last one is domineering, in the history of the NBA before Meng Xu, only O'Neal and Chamberlain have completed the breakthrough of domineering, domineering has the highest requirements for players, and the upper limit of this path is also the highest.

"Good acceleration, good movement." Meng Xu's movement and acceleration are fast, this is something that the whole league knows, and now when Meng Xu gave up the ball and played without the ball, Meng Xu's perfect combination of perverted speed and running position was once again undoubtedly revealed in this game, when Meng Xu went from the right side of the court along the 3-point line through the paint area to the bottom corner of the left side of the court, and then cut in again without the slightest pause, the entire Lakers' defense was torn apart by Meng Xu, especially Robert Hawley, who supplemented Meng Xu, It collided directly with Hores Grant, who blocked Meng Xu. Then Meng Xu was on the left side of the paint area, received a pass from Jalen Jackson, and overtook the score for the Spurs with a very dashing pull-up jumper.

"Popovich's change looks very noticeable." Magic Johnson also did not expect Popovich's change after the opening of the second half, and before this game, Magic Johnson was still quite critical of Popovich, and privately kept saying that Popovich was too conservative in this series.

"Yes, this change completely disrupted the Lakers' defensive strategy, whether it was Kobe Bryant or Robert Hawley, it seems that they are not very comfortable with Meng Xu without the ball, and Phil Jackson needs to call a timeout." Looking at Phil Jackson, who was still very calm in the distance, Michaels also began to support him, and it was time for the Lakers to change their defensive strategy against Meng Xu.
