In the second half of the second quarter, the main forces of both sides all went off the court, Meng Xu sat on the bench with a calm face, a towel covered his head, panting in his mouth, and looking at the court listlessly. Meng Xu played too hard in this game, relying on that weird running position, the defensive end was repeatedly embarrassed by Reggie Miller*** on the offensive end, and was fouled twice by Reggie Miller.

Just assistant coach Mike? When Budenholzer wanted to step forward to comfort Meng Xu, Popovich grabbed him and shook his head.

"Young people always have to go through setbacks before they can grow." Instantly read the meaning in Popovich's eyes, Mike? Budenholzer glanced at Meng Xu, returned to the sidelines, and shouted a few words at the substitutes on the field.

"Stupid, this can't stand it, with your current strength, it's not unusual to be beaten by any NBA player, not to mention that the person who beat you up is still a legendary star Reggie Miller." Anna's voice suddenly sounded in Meng Xu's ears, and Meng Xu, who was contemplating, also woke up.

After thinking about it carefully, Meng Xu was relieved, who can enter the NBA through his own strength, which one is not one in a hundred, or even one in ten thousand, and he only relied on the system to cheat to enter the NBA, and without the system, he is nothing.

Even so, you still have to think of a way, how to deal with Reggie Miller, Miller is a veteran ruffian who has been in the league for more than ten years, and his small actions can't affect him at all, and he even has to be on guard against his small actions at all times, and the only thing he can rely on is his own strength.

After pondering for a long time, Meng Xu very reluctantly asked Anna to add all his remaining 30 attribute points to the bounce, relying on the super prediction ability provided by the sixth sense, and the strong speed attribute, Meng Xu basically will not lose his position when he is against Reggie Miller, but the bounce of winning and weakening is the most deadly, he can't be blocked when defending, and he can't jump high when attacking. Originally, these attribute points were reserved for learning the next skill, but now in order to deal with Reggie Miller, they can only be used in advance.

Throughout the first half, Reggie Miller shot 8 of 13, including 4 of 6 3-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring a game-high 24 points, relying on Reggie Miller's excellent play, the Pacers also tightly bit the score, and at the end of the first half, the Spurs only led the Pacers by 2 points at 41-39.

"Meng, how do you feel?" The game in the third quarter was about to start, Popovich seized the last bit of time to explain the tactics of the second half, and after arranging the tactics, Popovich looked at Meng Xu and asked.

Meng Xu's performance in this game is not good, plus the last game against the Trail Blazers, has fallen into a slump in two games, which is a very normal situation for a rookie, when the schedule is halfway through, many rookies in the league will encounter the rookie wall, the reason is nothing more than that the teams are familiar with his style of play, with targeted arrangements, and only those players who have the potential to become superstars can ignore the rookie wall, calmly step over it, and crush it.

If in the past, if a player had a poor performance for two consecutive games, Popovich would definitely not hesitate to press him on the bench, but now Popovich hopes that Meng Xu can break the rookie wall and find his own basketball path.

"I'm fine, the second half won't let that guy play so comfortably." Meng Xu nodded and said. After adding 30 attribute points, Meng Xu's current bounce attribute has reached 94 points, even if it is first-class in the entire league, plus his top speed attribute, Reggie Miller's guy will definitely not be so easy in the first half.

"Well, the key to winning this game is whether you can limit Reggie Miller, at least reduce his shooting percentage, and not let him be as unscrupulous as in the first half." After Popovich finished speaking, he led the team out of the locker room.

"The second half is about to begin, El, do you think the Spurs will be able to find a way to deal with Reggie Miller?" As the players from both teams walked out of the locker room, Mike Brand, the game's commentator, looked at his partner, a veteran NBA commentator.

"Miller was too hot in the first half, but it's not necessarily whether he can keep that in the second half, you know, there are 48 minutes in a game, and a player can't always have a good feeling. And I think in the first half, Meng's marking of Miller was still very good, but in the second half he needed to add some aggression on the defensive end, not to let Miller receive the basketball so easily, and then shoot the basketball very comfortably. Michaels also revealed the meaning of excusing Meng Xu between the lines, Meng Xu is a player who he vigorously touts, if he does not perform well in the game where he is the commentator, isn't it a slap in the face of Hongguoguo? So be sure to find some objective reasons to come out.

"Well, we all know that Meng's close defense is very good, and the prediction is also first-class, which is a nightmare for those players who need a lot of ball, but for players like Reggie Miller, who don't need the ball and rely on running to score, Meng doesn't have so much deterrence, and Meng's shortcomings in bounce will be further amplified. The same was true of the opposition against Scottie Pippen in the last game. In a rare move, Mike Brand did not refute Michaels, but agreed with Michaels' remarks and echoed them.

"Little guy, your perseverance is really good, if you were someone else, you wouldn't have come to guard against me a long time ago." After going around the court for half a circle after the opening, Meng Xu still followed Reggie Miller closely, like a piece of cowhide plaster, which made people upset to watch.

"Old guy, why are you running so slower than in the first half, are you running out of strength, it's better to get off the game early and have a good rest." Meng Xu stuck to Miller's side, his hands stretched out in front of Miller's chest and kept shaking, trying to prevent the other players of the Pacers from passing the ball to Miller, and by the way, hoping to distract Miller.

"Boy, you'd better catch up with me." As a 35-year-old veteran player, Reggie Miller hates the most is that others say that he is old, and he is old before he gets the highest honor, which has always been Miller's heart disease.

Looking at Reggie Miller, who was a little angry, Meng Xu grinned, it turns out that this guy still has weaknesses, looking at Reggie Miller's back, Meng Xu chased after him again.
