Chapter 366: The Strongest Layup Skill

"Jamal, give me the ball." After Jermaine O'Neal jumped the ball successfully, as usual, while dribbling the ball while observing the movement of his teammates, Jamar Tinsley, just passed the half, he saw Meng Xu asking for the ball towards him, without the slightest hesitation, Jamal Tinsley passed the basketball in his hand to Meng Xu, and he ran to the left side of the court, ready to go along the 3-point line. In the current tactics of the Pacers, as long as Meng Xu attacks with the ball, Jamal Tinsley and Reggie Miller will definitely do everything possible to find open opportunities outside the 3-point line.

"Do you want a bag?" Seeing Meng Xu take the initiative to hold the ball against Sprewell, Alan Houston, who was entangled with Reggie Miller, subconsciously looked at the head coach Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines, in the first two games, the Knicks have carried out a package defense on Meng Xu, but Meng Xu has been playing without the ball, and the number of shots is very small, after losing two away games in a row, Van Gundy, who returned to New York, gave up the bag defense of Meng Xu.

"Let's wait." Seeing Alan Houston's inquiring gaze, Jeff Van Gundy didn't say anything, but put his hands on his chest and put all his attention on Meng Xu's body, while comforting himself in his heart. If the Knicks want to contain Meng Xu, they can only let Alan Houston go, but in this case, Reggie Miller will be undefended again, originally Jeff Van Gundy already thought that Reggie Miller was old and couldn't do it, even if he was empty, he couldn't make any waves, but in the previous two games, Reggie Miller scored 38 points a game and 24 points a game, and he firmly pasted two big mouths on Van Gundy's face, and it was for this reason that Jeff Van Gundy did not dare to let Reggie Miller go rashly now, Continue to clamp Meng Xu throughout the process.

After receiving the ball, Meng Xu saw that only Sprewell was defending himself, so he did not block and dismantle Jermaine O'Neal, first moved two steps laterally, and then directly started the change of direction, after getting rid of Sprewell, and then used Jermaine O'Neal to block the big forward Kurt Thomas, who was supplementing the defense, and then rushed directly to the basket.

When Meng Xu rushed towards the basket with the ball, the Knicks' white center Tyrese Knight quickly gave up the entanglement with Lorenzen White and began to seize a favorable defensive position on Meng Xu's way.

Seeing the performance of the players on the court on the defensive end, Jeff Van Gundy nodded with great satisfaction, as the first in the East this season, almost all Eastern teams that enter the playoffs will study the tactics of the Pacers, Van Gundy is of course no exception, after repeatedly watching countless Pacers game videos, Jeff Van Gundy also discovered a mystery in the Pacers' tactics. Although Meng Xu's breakthrough ability is very good, many times Meng Xu, who has obviously broken through to the basket, does not choose to go to the basket, but after attracting the defense, he divides the basketball to the outside.

The more video he watched, the more Van Gundy understood that most of Meng Xu's breakthroughs were mainly to attract the defender to shrink, once the defender chose to shrink the defense under Meng Xu's breakthrough, even if Meng Xu already had a good offensive opportunity, he would pass the basketball out, and the main goal of Meng Xu's pass was the Pacers' outside lines, although the Pacers played the tactics of blocking and breaking points, but in the face of such a good opportunity, Meng Xu did not go to the basket, which is very suspicious, in combination with last year's All-Star Game, Meng Xu's funny scene, so Van Gundy came to the conclusion that Meng Xu's layup was not good, so in this game, although the Knicks did not continue to pack Meng Xu, the defensive strategy for Meng Xu also became mainly defensive shooting, and at the same time, as long as Meng Xu broke through, he would keep an eye on several outside lines of the Pacers.

On the court now, the Knicks are strictly implemented according to Van Gundy's pre-game deployment, without the slightest discount, Alan Houston is trying his best to chase Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson is staring at Jamal Tinsley, and Sprewell is also leaning on Jermaine O'Neal, blocking Meng Xu and his passing route.

But this time, when Tyrese Knight had already occupied a favorable position in advance, and Kurt Thomas was wrapped up behind him, Meng Xu did not observe the position of his teammates around him, but took advantage of the third change of direction, pulled his body up, and jumped towards the side of Tyrese Knight's body.

"Boy, you're looking for death." After seeing Meng Xu's offensive choice, Tyrese Knight immediately turned around in the direction of Meng Xu's jump, and at the same time stretched out his arms, with Tyrese Knight's height and arm span, when blocking Meng Xu's shot, he didn't need to jump at all, but this time in order to ensure the success rate of the defense, Tyrese Knight still jumped high, and Tyrese Knight, who was still in the process of rising, could already imagine the next scene, he was like a fly swatter, Press the kid in front of you to the ground with the ball, the MVP of the regular season? Anyone who dares to be arrogant in Madison will not end well.

"What? How can there be such an operation? Tyrese Knight, who had already flown into the air, waved his big hand and wanted to block the basketball in Meng Xu's hand, but found that Meng Xu dodged his own cover with an extremely easy folding lever, you must know that before the game, head coach Jeff Van Gundy told himself that the kid in front of him had extremely poor layup skills, not to mention the lever, even if he couldn't even pick up the basket, if it was to the head coach, as long as he dared to go to the basket in front of him, he didn't hold the handle by himself, but now it seems that The head coach obviously miscalculated, but fortunately, although his own block was dodged by him, Kurt Thomas, who was following Meng Xu, had already jumped, and it should be too late to see the situation.

However, the next scene shocked Tyrese Knight, who had already begun to fall, after completing a pull, Meng Xu, after noticing Kurt Thomas flying behind him, first took a step in the air very obviously, and then made a pull-bar action again, dodging Kurt Thomas's block in the air, and still put the basketball in his hand towards the basket very lightly.

"Oh, the cake seller." Michaels on the commentary bench stood up directly from the seat after a burst of exclamation, Meng Xu's action just now was so familiar, after searching in his mind for a while, Michaels could say with great certainty that it was Michael, it was Michael, Meng Xu's layup just now was very similar to Michael when he was young, and it could even be said that it was a copy of Michael's layup, including the leg swing in the air was exactly the same.

At this moment, on the Pacers' bench, Michaels's expression was almost the same, only after a moment, when Meng Xu completed the layup, the Pacers' bench, except for Larry Bird, barely kept his composure, including assistant coach George? All the Pacers players, including McGinnis, rushed to the sidelines waving towels, and Bobby Simmons was the most exaggerated, directly lying on the ground and making a five-body throw.

"How is this possible?" Spike Lee, who was still shouting frantically on the sidelines just now, opened his mouth slightly, and his mind was full of pictures of Meng Xu's layup just now.

"Very good ability to stay in the air, very perfect coordination in the air, layups after two consecutive pulls, Meng's layup is definitely the best layup in this series."
