Chapter 686: The Strongest Layup Returns

"Looks like I'm underestimating this guy."

The rookies known as the "03 Golden Generation" have risen sharply this season, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwayne Wade have all been selected for this season's best team, but due to the existence of Tim Duncan, Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Meng Xu did not pay too much attention to these juniors, because their current strength is not enough to challenge Meng Xu's position, and in Meng Xu's expectations, they will need at least one or two seasons to enter their respective peaks, thus completely replacing the older generation of superstars such as Maddie and Carter, but through today's game, Meng Xu realized that he had underestimated these people, or that their progress was far beyond Meng Xu's expectations.

For example, Dwyan-Wade in front of him, in the four regular season games this season, Meng Xu has roughly figured out Wade's true strength, this season's Wade should be similar to Meng Xu's Kobe when he first entered the league, that is, the ability value is about 93, which is why Meng Xu doesn't care about Wade, the current O'Neal is not the inside BUG with the ability value of 98 back then, without O'Neal in front to attract firepower, with Wade's current strength, It's not enough to make any big waves in front of the outside group of Pacers.

But in today's game, Tyshawn Prince and Tony Allen, two defensive giants, couldn't contain Dwyane Wade, during the time when O'Neal was off, Dwyane Wade perfectly carried the banner on O'Neal's shoulders and continued to lead the Heat's offense, although Wade may not be as efficient as O'Neal in terms of scoring efficiency, but Wade also ensured that the difference between the two sides would not be too large.

Therefore, in the two minutes of O'Neal's break, although the Pacers regained the advantage on the court, they failed to take the opportunity to open the score, and finally when the official timeout came in the fourth quarter, 84-81, the Pacers still maintained a 3-point lead.

"The decisive moment between the two sides is coming!"

After a brief timeout, Shaq O'Neal re-entered the game, and on the Pacers' side, Jermaine O'Neal and N.N. Hilario also re-entered the court, and the six-minute minute that decided the final outcome of the game finally came.

"Beep." Less than 15 seconds after the game restarted, the referee's whistle sounded again, and O'Neal, who was attacking with the ball, waved his arms with a hideous face, and then walked directly towards the free throw line.

"Jermaine O'Neal has committed 6 fouls, although in today's game, Jermaine O'Neal's defense against Shaq was not successful, but as the interior pillar of the Pacers, Jermaine O'Neal committed 6 fouls at this time, which is definitely very disadvantageous for the Pacers."

O'Neal's rare two free throws, the Pacers' lead is only one point left, after Jermaine O'Neal made six fouls, many fans at the Bankers Life Arena also began to sigh, Jermaine O'Neal is not only the Pacers' interior pillar, but also the Pacers' No. 2 scorer, his importance is self-evident, but at the moment when the game has entered the final battle, Jermaine O'Neal has six fouls, which is definitely a big blow to the Pacers.

And in the press gallery at the scene, when Shaq O'Neal knocked Jermaine O'Neal off the court, these media reporters from all over the United States immediately boiled, and the entire press box is now in chaos, Jermaine O'Neal's fate means that the balance of victory has begun to tilt in favor of the Heat, and the Pacers lost to the Heat at home, which is exciting to think about, for many of them, as long as the Pacers lose, it is a pleasant thing.

After Jermaine O'Neal committed six fouls, Meng Xu went to the inside line again to find O'Neal in the next attack, O'Neal has also committed four fouls now, as long as he makes one more foul, O'Neal will inevitably be restrained, but Meng Xu now wants to make fouls but can't, after being fouled twice by Mutombo, O'Neal is now very cautious and doesn't give Meng Xu any chance at all, so Meng Xu can only divide the basketball after breaking through to the inside, Fortunately, Tyshawn Prince hit a jumper, and the Pacers continued to maintain their lead.

As a super inside, in order to control the number of fouls, he had to choose to forbear on the defensive end and not respond to the opponent's provocation, which is definitely a very aggrieved thing for O'Neal, even if he faced the big dream Olajuwon before, faced David Robinson and Tim Duncan, O'Neal has never been so aggrieved, so after arriving in the frontcourt, O'Neal rushed to Jason Williams to ask for the ball, especially when he saw Mutombo, who was already in position behind him, O'Neill couldn't control his anger.

After successfully winning the ball, O'Neal relied on Mutombo, very skillfully advanced to the basket, and when Mutombo was at his peak, he couldn't stop O'Neal's back singles, not to mention Mutombo, who is now on the verge of retirement, so after continuous backs, O'Neal turned his back without hesitation.

Although Mutombo's body can't stop O'Neal's destruction, Mutombo's position selection is still very good, just at the moment when O'Neal's back turned, Mutombo, who had been out of position, moved laterally in advance, occupying O'Neal's route to the basket, shooting is OK, dunking is absolutely not, this can be regarded as a remedy for Mutombo.

"Shaq, be careful." O'Neal, who had completed the back turn, still didn't have a chance to go straight to the basket and vent his anger with a violent dunk, so O'Neal chose to end the offense with a jump shot after completing the back turn, but after O'Neal jumped, he seemed to hear his teammates shouting behind him.

This jumper, O'Neal's jump height is not high, after all, there is no defender more than a meter in front of him, so O'Neal just lightly leaned back on his toes, and threw the basketball in his hand, but at the moment when the basketball was taken off, O'Neal saw a yellow figure flying over his right side, and with a bang, the basketball thrown by O'Neal changed its flight trajectory and flew towards the bottom line.

O'Neal, who fell from the sky, looked at the basketball that rolled into the press box, and was obviously stunned for a moment, it was obvious that O'Neal never thought that his attack would be covered by someone.

"Big guy, look behind you before you make a move, don't forget, I can overshadow you three times in a game." Meng Xu, who fell from the sky immediately after, saw O'Neal with a long face, so he deliberately mocked O'Neill a few words.

"Boy, you're looking for death!" Looking at Meng Xu, who turned to leave after mocking himself, O'Neill's teeth were already grinding. As an insider, you must have the consciousness of becoming a background board, as strong as Olajuwon and David Robinson have also done countless background emperors, but O'Neal doesn't believe in evil, as long as he dunks on O'Neal's head, he will be inhumanely retaliated against by O'Neal without exception, Carter was photographed directly on the floor by O'Neal from the air, which brought a big or small shadow to countless outside players, but Meng Xu, this guy, has been teasing O'Neal's tiger whiskers countless times since the Spurs, and has not been retaliated against by O'Neal, or rather, O'Neill has not yet found a chance to retaliate.

"Hmph, I'll see how long you can endure it." After retreating to his defensive position, Meng Xu focused his attention on O'Neal again, Meng Xu just tried to foul and risk O'Neal for one reason, that is, he wanted to provoke O'Neal with this, and Meng Xu also deliberately brought up the old thing, for fear that O'Neal would forget the game that he had been taken three times by himself.

Udonis Haslem, who stood on the baseline and served the bottom line, the first target was obviously O'Neal under the basket, but O'Neal was now being watched by Mutombo and Nn Hilario one after another, so after trying for a long time, he couldn't hand over the basketball to O'Neal, Udonis Haslem could only pass the basketball to Dwyane Wade, who was at the far end, and asked him to organize the offense.

Because it has consumed almost 15 seconds just now, so this offense, the Heat must be completed in a very short time, in the case that O'Neal is always in the bag, after getting the ball, Dwyane Wade, directly launched an impact on the Pacers' interior, as for shooting a basket on the outside or something, unless it is absolutely necessary, Dwyane Wade will not shoot outside the three-point line, as a scoring guard, Dwyan-Wade's three-point shooting rate this season is an astonishing 17%, Not to mention the shooting under guard, it is an open three-pointer, and Wade sometimes won't shoot.

Tyshawn Prince is an excellent outside defensive giant, the league's top wing defenders, such as Kobe, Maddy, Carter and many other outside superstars have been suffocated under Tyshawn Prince's defense, but in today's game, Tyshawn Prince has always been unable to take Dwyane Wade, this guy's speed is too fast, and the height is much worse than Tyshawn Prince, so many times defensively, Tyshawn Prince has lost his position because he can't keep up with Dwyane Wade's footsteps.

This time offensively, Dwyane Wade once again got rid of Tyshawn Prince's defense, but just as Dwyane Wade was about to continue to break through, Meng Xu appeared in front of him and blocked his way. Seeing that there were not many seconds left in 24 seconds, Dwyane Wade, who couldn't get rid of Meng Xu for a while, had to choose to pass the basketball back to the outside, and Jason Williams, who received Wade's pass, hurriedly shot and shot iron.

After successfully defending the Heat's offense, Meng Xu slapped the basketball and slowly advanced to the front court, after Meng Xu passed the middle circle, Antoine Walker, who had accumulated 5 fouls, quickly pounced towards Meng Xu, like O'Neal, Antoine Walker also hated and even hated Meng Xu, because in Antoine Walker's view, he was able to fall to this day, completely thanks to Meng Xu, Meng Xu's appearance ruined everything for him, ruined his Celtics, also ruined his championship dream, making himself like a lost dog, falling everywhere.

All kinds of past events have surfaced in front of me at this moment, so this time on defense, Antoine Walker secretly told himself in his heart, I must guard against this kid's offense, I want to help the Heat beat him, I want to see him lose, I want to see him cry, I want to return what he did to me back then, the original.

Looking at Meng Xu, who was playing basketball on the spot while constantly lowering his body's center of gravity, Antoine Walker knew that Meng Xu was about to break through, so Antoine Walker quickly threw away all his thoughts and stared at Meng Xu's every move with all his attention.

It's just that after Meng Xu took two consecutive strides from left to right, Antoine Walker was completely lost, and could only watch Meng Xu disappear from the left side of his body.

"Come on, little bastard!" The angry O'Neal, after seeing Meng Xu rushing to the paint area with the ball, immediately gave up the defense of Mutombo and pounced on Meng Xu, after Meng Xu's provocation just now, O'Neill could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and the new hatred and old hatred should now be counted together.

"Get ready to bear my wrath!"

Looking at Meng Xu, who was already jumping one step away from the paint area, O'Neill jumped up without any hesitation, waving his arms to cover a large area in front of him.

Meng Xu, who was flying in the air, began to fold his body when he was about to collide with O'Neill, preparing to avoid O'Neill's block, but O'Neal, who had been prepared for a long time, completed a half-turn in the air after Meng Xu made a move to fold the lever, and still covered Meng Xu to death.

And the next scene directly made O'Neal stunned, once, twice, after the first lever was still covered by O'Neal, Meng Xu then completed two lever moves in the air, successfully dodged O'Neal's block, threw the basketball in his hand to the basket, and the layup after three pull-ups, in the entire history of the NBA, there are only two people who have completed this kind of layup in the game, one is Michael Jordan, who is known as the god of basketball, and the other is Meng Xu in front of O'Neal.

After Meng Xu threw the basketball in his hand to the basket, Meng Xu collided with O'Neal who had landed, Meng Xu's body is the top among the outside players, but in front of O'Neal, he can only be regarded as a little chick, so after the physical collision with O'Neal, Meng Xu was directly knocked out of the bottom line by O'Neal.

"Beautiful, beautiful, perfect, Meng Xu beat Shaq O'Neal with a perfect layup!"

Looking at Meng Xu, who had a relaxed face and seemed to be smiling, Michaels on the sideline commentary seat was already a little incoherent with excitement.

"Five fouls, O'Neal got five fouls, and after Jermaine O'Neal made six fouls, O'Neal also received his fifth foul of the game."

O'Neal fouled five times, and Pat Riley on the sidelines called a timeout almost in confusion, and Pat Riley had told O'Neal countless times to calm down, be calm, don't foul, don't go one-on-one with Meng Xu, but this guy still went against his deployment.
