Chapter 656: The Donkey

When Tim Duncan and Meng Xu used a 45-degree back-to-back jumper on the right side called "Wake Forest's exclusive skill" in the first round of the third quarter, the atmosphere in the SBC center became higher and higher as the game progressed.

After Meng Xu responded to himself with the same scoring method as himself, the look on Duncan's face became more and more serious, even if the relationship between Duncan and Meng Xu was very good, even if Duncan used to be close to Meng Xu, but on the field, in this case, Meng Xu has only one identity, that is, the enemy! Especially when Meng Xu provoked himself in such a way, whether Duncan wanted to or not, he had to respond as he should.

Ignoring Meng Xu, who was babbling at him with his mouth open, and ignoring the roar of head coach Popovich on the sidelines, he grabbed the basketball that had just bounced off the ground and threw it to Rasu Nesterovic, who was ready to serve the ball, Duncan let go and ran towards the front court. This time, instead of going where the attack had just begun, Duncan went in the opposite direction, stopping to the left of the paint and waiting for Tony Parker, who was dribbling forward.

When Tony Parker slapped the basketball and stopped not far from the top of the arc, Duncan began to move, first put on a straight shot to the basket, and after successfully fooling Nn Hilario, Duncan stretched out his arm to block Nn Hilario directly behind him, and the basketball in Tony Parker's hand, after passing Michael Finley on the left side of the court, was quickly passed to Duncan's hands.

After receiving the ball, Duncan first paused in place for a moment, observing NN-Hilario's defensive choice, after experiencing the last time he was crushed, any player with ideas will inevitably take the initiative to adjust his defensive posture, and Duncan immediately reacted after noticing that NN-Hilario was sticking tighter than the last time, this time Duncan did not push with his back, but first shook it with a feint, and then forcibly turned his back to break through directly to the right side of his body.

NN-Hilario, who had already reacted when Duncan was shaking, could only watch Duncan turn his back and break through himself, and after the loss of position, NN-Hilario did not chase after him, but ran towards Rasu Nesterovich, because at the moment when NN Hilario was out of position, Jermaine O'Neal, who was closest to Duncan, went to make up for Duncan, so in the case that the head coach did not arrange a bag, NN-Hilario's best choice now is to replace Jermaine O'Neal, Go defend Rasu Nestrovich.

After getting rid of Nn Hilario, two steps in a row, Duncan also began to accelerate to the basket, and Jermaine O'Neal's defense speed is also very fast, almost at the moment when Duncan completely got rid of Nn Hilario, Jermaine O'Neal rushed over to make up for the defense, so Jermaine O'Neal took a step ahead of Duncan to occupy an excellent defensive position.

Seeing that Jermaine O'Neal had taken up a favorable defensive position in advance, Duncan had to slow down his speed, although Duncan's speed had slowed down, but at this moment, Duncan did not have the slightest intention of passing, but suddenly stopped when he was about to collide with Jermaine O'Neal.

Stop-and-go jump shot, very weird stop, such a huge body can complete an emergency stop at such a speed, and Jermaine O'Neal, who was standing in front of Duncan, was taken aback.

"Is this still Tim?" Not to mention Jermaine O'Neal, even Meng Xu behind Duncan was taken aback by Duncan's current movements, Duncan's speed of rushing up just now was not slow at all, coupled with Duncan's huge body, the impact force formed was very huge, but Duncan stopped perfectly with a sudden brake, such a scene made Meng Xu have to wonder if Duncan stole his stunt from Kevin Garnett.

With the sound of "brush", the basketball thrown out by Duncan hollowed into the net, and the SBC center immediately erupted into a tsunami-like cheer.

"Meng, don't be impulsive." Tim Duncan hit again, the fans at the scene, and the commentators at the scene were all in high spirits, looking forward to Meng Xu's further response, but Rick Carlisle, as the head coach of the Pacers, didn't want Meng Xu to do this, and the outside players could never compare the shooting percentage with the inside players, so for the sake of the game, Rick Carlisle still hoped that Meng Xu could be more stable.

But looking at Meng Xu's posture, there is no appearance of stability at all, and with Rick Carlisle's understanding of Meng Xu, in this case, if Meng Xu is not returned, then he is really not Meng Xu, so after shouting twice and seeing that Meng Xu did not react, Rick Carlisle simply sat on the bench.

"How do you hit this ball?" Meng Xu, who took over the ball from Tony Allen near the center circle, slowly advanced with the ball while thinking about how to respond to Duncan's pull-up jump shot just now.

Just when Meng Xu was about to advance to the top of the arc, Popovich on the sidelines made a gesture to Mike Finley in the field, and Mike Finley, who was originally entangled with Tyshawn Prince, quickly gave up his defense against Tyshawn Prince and rushed over to contain Meng Xu.

Before the winner of the "anser-ball" between Meng Xu and Duncan was decided, the incomprehensible Popovich shot early, wanting to force Meng Xu to pass the ball through Meng Xu's bag, thus interrupting this childish behavior between the two of them.

Popovich's thoughts, how can Meng Xu not understand, but the more Popovich is like this, the more impossible it is for Meng Xu to pass the ball, because once Meng Xu chooses to pass the ball, it is equivalent to admitting it, once something is lost, it can never be recovered.

Leaning sideways on Bruce Bowen, one arm blocking Mike Finley, Meng Xu protected the basketball with great difficulty, and after a few seconds of protecting the ball in place, Meng Xu seemed to be about to give up, grabbing the basketball with his right hand and waving it to the left side of his body, as if to pass the basketball to Tony Allen on the left.

Seeing Meng Xu's arm wave, Tony Allen immediately ran over to answer, and Mike Finley, who was cooperating with Bruce Bowen to wrap Meng Xu, seemed to realize something and reached out to block Meng Xu's passing route, but soon Mike Finley regretted his outstretched hand.

Taking advantage of the moment when Mike Finley's attention and body center of gravity shifted, Meng Xu quickly withdrew his arm, and at the same time leaned on Bruce Bowen to forcibly turn towards the right side of his body, and the arched right arm was just the right card, and Meng Xu, who completed the turn, blocked Bruce Bowen behind him, and then took a step, Meng Xu completely got rid of Bruce Bowen and Mike Finley's bag.

"This donkey!" Looking at Meng Xu, who had gotten rid of Bruce Bowen and Mike Finley, Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, moved his lips inadvertently, and at the same time scolded fiercely in his heart.

Back on the court, Meng Xu, who was no longer defending, took advantage of the fact that Rasu Nesterovic's supplementary defense had not yet arrived, and directly jumped and shot, as for impacting Duncan's basket, Meng Xu never considered it.
