On the evening of May 7, 2000, the media room of Staples Arena was full, and as the first game of the semifinals, the matchup between the Lakers, who ranked first in the regular season this season, and the Spurs, the champion of last season, also attracted the attention of countless people.

Because of O'Neal and Duncan, the duel between the top three players in the league has long gone beyond the scope of an ordinary game, and Duncan and O'Neal did not disappoint in this game, these two superstars also staged an earth-shattering bloody duel in this game, but at the last moment of the game, Meng Xu stole the limelight, 21 points, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks, 5 assists, 5 steals, not only created the first 5*5 data in the history of the NBA playoffs, He also hit consecutive key shots in the final stage of the game, and scored 15 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.

"Here, here, Popovich and Phil Jackson are out."

"And O'Neill and Meng Xu."

The media reporters, who had been waiting in the media room for nearly an hour, immediately rioted when they saw the heads of the two teams appear.

As the most eye-catching player in this game, Meng Xu also followed Popovich to the post-match press conference for the first time this season.

After Popovich and Phil Jackson sat down, there was also a rush in the press gallery at the scene. Compared to Popovich's smile, Phil Jackson and O'Neill's expressions are not so good.

The chaos at the scene did not last long, and under the guidance and arrangement of the on-site staff, the reporters in the audience gradually restored order and began to ask questions.

"Mr. Phil Jackson, what do you think of the shark-slashing tactics that Mr. Popovich used in the final moments of the match?" The first to ask questions was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, as a local media in Los Angeles, it was naturally on the side of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"It's the ugliest tactic I've ever seen, and I think it's not just me, I'm afraid everyone here and the audience think so." After Phil Jackson finished speaking, the reporters in the audience also nodded, expressing their agreement with Phil Jackson's statement. The Spurs' style of play itself is not very attractive to the audience, and the shark-cutting tactics in the final stage of the game with the Lakers are even more disgusting.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with our tactics, it is reasonable to exist, and since the alliance does not prohibit shark slashing tactics, then we naturally have no problem using this tactic." As a victor, at least his bearing must be maintained, and although he was upset with Phil Jackson's words, Popovich tried to keep a smile.

"So, Mr. Popovich, will you use the same tactics in the next fight?" After the Los Angeles Times finished asking questions, it was the turn of the Washington Post reporters. As the three major media in the United States, the NBA league partners, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, all have the right to be the first to ask questions after each game.

"It depends."

"Shaq, do you have anything to say about this game?" After the first two media asked the head coach, the New York Times reporter naturally asked O'Neal.

"I don't have anything to say, we'll see you in the next game." After O'Neill, who was grim-faced, finished speaking, he turned around and left, and it will definitely be the league's fine that will greet him tomorrow.

"Why should this Chinese CCAV be ahead of us?" After the three major media outlets finished asking questions, the staff at the scene motioned for two reporters from China to start asking questions, and this arrangement of the alliance also caused dissatisfaction among other local American media.

"This must be Stern's arrangement, and this Jew almost treats the Chinese as his own father."

"Be quiet, be careful if you are disqualified from attending the post-match press conference in the future, you must know that Stern's heart is very small."

"Meng Xu, congratulations on winning this game in the first battle." Su Qun paused and continued: "Recently, we have received a lot of letters from China, and the most important thing for fans now is when you will return to China. ”

"When the season is over, I'll definitely be back." Meng Xu replied with a smile, Meng Xu, who participated in the press conference for the first time, was still a little nervous, but the question from the CCAV reporter had nothing to do with this game, and the tension in Meng Xu's heart suddenly disappeared by half.

In the subsequent questioning, Meng Xu became the only protagonist, after all, Meng Xu won the only 5*5 in the history of the NBA playoffs in this game, and he also hit key shots in a row at the last moment, there is no doubt that the Spurs can defeat the Lakers, Meng Xu is indispensable, and the Americans are very respectful of individual heroism, and Meng Xu's performance in this game is also worthy of their special mention.

The day after the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Meng Xu's performance caused a sensation throughout the NBA league, and the 5*5 stats didn't look any different to fans, even worse than a triple-double. But in the eyes of professionals, 5*5 is not so simple, and Meng Xu's 5*5 is the first time in the history of the playoffs, and it is also the tenth 5*5 data since the entire league has block steal technical statistics. In the long history of the NBA, not to mention triple-doubles, that is, the average triple-double per game in a single season has been completed, and Meng Xu has only appeared 5*5 9 times before, which shows how rare the data of 5*5 is.

Among the 9 5*5 data that Meng Xu appeared before, they were completed by four people, of which Dameng Olajuwon completed 6 times, and the rest David Robinson, Derek Cole, and Divac completed 1 time each, so Dameng Olajuwon is also known as the king of 5*5 and the player closest to a five-double.

"That's right, I admire Meng very much, originally I thought he was the most like me among the active players, but this game changed my mind, although he still has all kinds of shortcomings, but I think he will grow into the most comprehensive player in the whole league, he has such strength and talent, I am looking forward to playing the Spurs in the finals." After the game, another good deed ran to interview Larry Bird, and the result was the above paragraph.

"This little guy's performance is really shocking, as for whether he can complete five doubles in the future? It's so hard, I've tried and failed, and I hope this little guy can do what I haven't done. Although he is on the verge of retirement, as a former superstar and the king of 5*5, at least in the all-around, Olajuwon is still the best.
