Chapter 151: Pippen VS Meng Xu (1)
"It's so brutal, this is already Meng's first block in the first quarter?" When the next attack of the Trailblazers, Damon Stoudemire, who was eager to get back face, made his best stop-and-go jump shot after covering with Avidas Sabonis, but Damon Stoudemire's shot this time was fanned out by Meng Xu again, and Stoudemire, who fell to the ground, now has no anger in his heart.
"El, although Meng's defense is very good, don't you think the main reason is that Damon is too short?" Seeing Michaels' exaggerated expression, Magic Johnson also had a black line on his face, just Damon Stoudemier, who is less than 1.8o meters tall, shooting in front of Meng Xu, isn't he uncomfortable for himself? Don't talk about Meng Xu, even if he is now fat into a meat ball, he can make Stoudemire a meat.
"Oh, Erwin, although you are a little more professional than me, everyone's eyes are bright, and Meng's dominance on the defensive end has not been seen in recent seasons."
"Yes, I have to say that in the current league, the defensive intensity is getting weaker and weaker, and the players on the field are too lacking in blood." Although I like Meng Xu very much, what Magic Johnson thinks in his heart is that in the face of Meng Xu's provocations again and again, Stoudemire's performance is too soft, if he stays in his own era, even if he can't find a way to get back on the field in the game, he will have to share the victory and defeat with you in his fists and feet.
"Erwin, that's not what you said when you faced the Celtics." When that was done, Michaels burst out laughing.
Michaels' behavior of revealing the scar made the magician very unhappy at the moment, but in front of countless viewers on the TV, the magician was not good at doing it on the spot, so he had to bite the bullet and laugh with Michaels.
Because of some unfriendly remarks made by the magician towards Meng Xu in these games, Michaels has already classified the magician into the hostile camp at this moment, and if the magician knows what Michaels is thinking, he will definitely shout that he is wronged. Captain Michaels, don't shoot, we're in this group.
After Meng Xu blocked Stoudemire, he directly grabbed the basketball that was fanned to the backcourt by himself, and after completing the fast-break dunk, the Spurs had a 9-point lead over the Trail Blazers 11-2.
Now the situation on the court has been completely out of Mike Dunwilly's control, and in the face of this situation, Mike Dunwilly is also in a dilemma, should he continue to put Damon Studmeier on the court, let him play alone like this, or call a timeout to replace him? You must know that although the depth of the Trail Blazers' roster is very strong, there are really no useful players for point guards except for Stoudemire, and almost all of the All-Star players hoarded by the Trail Blazers are interior and forward swing people.
So after hesitating for a long time and not finding a solution, Mike Dunwilly had to leave Stoudemire on the field, wanting to let him get out of the spell by himself, but fortunately, after sending Meng Xu a few risks in a row, under Scottie Pippen's scolding, Stoudemire himself also flinched a little.
"Meng, you're amazing." When the official timeout of the first quarter came, David Robinson, who was sitting on the Spurs bench in a suit, limped over and hugged Meng Xu, for Meng Xu's performance on the court in the first quarter, David Robinson was really shocked, when Meng Xu blocked Damon Stoudemire and Steve Smith under the basket one after another, David Robinson even rubbed his eyes, and repeatedly made sure that this was not an illusion, an outside player actually had such a strong blocking ability, This was simply unthinkable in the previous alliance. If it weren't for the leg injury, David Robinson would have rushed to the sidelines like a group of Spurs benches just now, waving the towel in his hand.
"Thank you, David, thank you." After helping David Robinson to the seat, the rest of the Spurs benches once again went crazy and surrounded Meng Xu, no way, in the game just now, Meng Xu's performance on the defensive end can no longer be described in words.
A swing man of the front guard, in half a quarter, actually sent out 5 blocks, which was an unimaginable thing before, and the little flying squirrel who was abused by Meng Xu, when he ended up, the whole person was already out of his mind, and it is estimated that he will go around Meng Xu again in the future.
"It's gone, it's gone, it's all gone, the game isn't over yet." Seeing that Vicky had shown his anger, assistant coach Mike Budenholzer immediately yelled at the players who were still gathered together.
"Meng, you're doing well." When the game restarted, Vicky, who was sitting next to Meng Xu, patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, due to Meng Xu's excellent swing in the first half of the quarter, the Spurs had already changed the bench lineup in advance after the official timeout. And now there is a very strange scene on the field, the Spurs substitutes who were originally beaten by the Trail Blazers' substitutes in the previous game were intractable in the face of the Trail Blazers' main lineup.
When the first quarter ended, the Spurs still led the Trail Blazers by nine points, 3-21. And after the game started in the second quarter, perhaps Meng Xu's shock and deterrence in the first quarter were too strong. Not only Stoudemire, but even Steve Smith began to deliberately avoid Meng Xu's defense.
When Steve Smith and Damon Stoudemire, the two players who have always been strong against the Spurs, could not show their strength in this game because of Meng Xu, at halftime, 57-45, the Trail Blazers were already 12 points behind the Spurs.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Mike Dunwilly made adjustments to the Trail Blazers' lineup, Greg Anthony replaced the flying squirrel Stoudemire, and Bunch Wells replaced Steve Smith.
"Boy, I still look down on you." Dribbling the ball rhythmically, looking at Meng Xu who was defending himself in front of him, Scottie Pippen said such a sentence without warning. Although Meng Xu is the best defensive player this season, and is the first player in history to win the best defensive player in his rookie season, Pippen has always been a little underestimated about Meng Xu's defense, but in this game, when Meng Xu showed this defensive dominance that was even more terrifying than himself and Michael's peak, Scottie Pippen was really shocked.
"Thank you for the compliment." After hearing Pippen's praise, Meng Xu, who had always been thicker than the city wall, smiled a little shyly.
"But, boy, the game has only just begun." Although his physical strength has long been unable to support 2o minutes of high-intensity confrontation, how could Pippen, who has always been competitive, allow this game to become a stage for Meng Xu to perform alone.
