Chapter 441: A long-lost system mission
"These two teams are really amazing." The Pacers, who led the Lakers by more than 10 points at the end of the half, were equalized by the Lakers at the beginning of the fourth quarter, so in order to stabilize the situation on the court and re-establish the advantage, Larry Bird was very strange to replace a group of swing people, and sacrificed a big killer such as full-court pressing, and the Lakers also sent an unconventional lineup in order to crack the full-court pressing of the Pacers, center Carl Malone, big forward Tracy Murray, small forward Devin George, two guards Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton, While dealing with the Pacers' full-court pressing, the Lakers also started full-court pressing on the Pacers.
In this big battle of pressing and counter-pressing, the number of mistakes on both sides has increased sharply, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions has become very fast, but the Pacers, who have been prepared, are obviously superior, and when the official timeout reached the fourth quarter, 88-94, the Pacers once again took a 6-point lead, although the 6-point gap does not seem to be much, but with less than 6 minutes left in the game time, and the situation on the court is obviously suppressed by the Pacers, it is not so easy for the Lakers to recover the score again.
"This Lakers team still has a long way to go!" In the end, when there was 1 minute left in the game, looking at the scoreboard in the distance, Michaels also shook his head helplessly, this much-anticipated game ended with such a result, the Lakers, who have four superstars, did not play their strength on paper at all, except for the third quarter because of O'Neal's outburst and the Pacers played on par, the rest of the games were suppressed by the Pacers from beginning to end, such a process and result is really disappointing.
"It's over!" In the final moments of the game, as Kobe Bryant's 3-point shot missed, the Lakers players who were still unwilling to give up began to execute foul tactics, but the score of 103-110 and the fact that there were only more than 30 seconds left doomed their efforts to be in vain.
"I hope you can get out of this situation soon." As the whistle blew at the end of the game, looking at O'Neal and Phil Jackson who were in a daze on the bench, Magic Johnson secretly said in his heart, as a player who has played for the Lakers for more than 10 seasons and is one of the greatest stars in Lakers history, Magic Johnson's love for the Lakers is undoubted.
。。。。。。
As the first game of the new season, it was another high-profile battle, so after the game, after a simple shower, Meng Xu was dragged by Larry to attend the post-game press conference.
"Meng, you performed very well in this game, can you talk about the back turn that you kept using in the game? Erwin says your back-turn technique is already comparable to Michael's, is this your new offensive tactic developed this summer? When Meng Xu and Larry Bird sat in their respective seats, the reporters on the scene immediately regained their calm after a short riot, and began to ask questions one by one according to the order of questions arranged in advance.
"Well, yes, I've been practicing my back turn technique this summer, but I don't think my back turn is comparable to Michael's."
"Meng, can you tell us what you think of this game? Before the game, most people predicted that the Pacers would be slaughtered by the Lakers, but the result was the opposite, with the Pacers winning by 12 points. The tone of the reporter who asked this question seemed to be biased towards the walkers, but it was obvious that almost everyone could see that the reporter was actually doing something, and the media in the audience were also waiting for Meng Xu's answer, waiting for a big news that could occupy the front page of tomorrow.
"The result of this game? Such a score is obviously not a comparison of the real strength of the two teams, the Lakers are very strong, they have four superstars, Shaq, Kobe, Gary and Karl, each of them has the ability to change the game, especially Kobe, he is a player who can kill the game anytime and anywhere, but fortunately, Kobe Bryant does not have much playing time today, which is also the key to our victory. ”
"Meng, are you saying that there is a problem with the Lakers' tactical arrangement for this game?" As soon as Meng Xu's words fell, someone stood up immediately, this reporter who stood up and interjected, Meng Xu could recognize, the famous New York Times. As a senior Meng Hei, the New York Times reporter's question is naturally impossible to have any good intentions, whether it is Meng Xu, Kobe, or Phil Jackson, they are all on the New York Times blacklist, so the New York Times reporters are also very happy to see a war of words between them.
"I'm not the coach of the Lakers, and you should ask Mr. Phil about these tactical things." Meng Xu answered the question with a smile on his face, and then with a wave of his left hand, he kicked the ball to Phil Jackson next to him, and at the same time, Meng Xu also said in his heart: "Is there a problem, don't you have a B number in your heart?" ”
However, the New York Times reporter did not dwell on this issue, but changed the conversation and continued to ask: "In two days, the Pacers will play the Suns at home, do you have anything to say about Amare's remarks?" ”
In this year's draft, Stoudemire, who was selected by the Pacers with the fourth pick in the first round, was very much looking forward to joining the Pacers, and on the first day of being selected, he instructed his agent to buy real estate in Indianapolis, but just when Stoudemire was about to sign the purchase contract, there was news that he was traded to the Suns by the Pacers. Naturally, it is impossible to have any good feelings for the Pacers, on the first day of being traded to the Suns, Stoudemire publicly declared that he must make Larry Bird and the Pacers regret what they did, and the Pacers' second game of the new season is to play against the Suns at home.
Stoudemire is a rookie and a rookie, and he will be played around by these undisciplined media, but Meng Xu is now an old fritter, knowing that this is a pit, it is naturally impossible to jump into it, and after looking at the New York Times reporter for a few seconds, Meng Xu said with a smile: "According to the rules, a person can only ask one question at a time, so please this gentleman, don't delay everyone's time, after all, the press conference is only 20 minutes." ”
"It seems like it's been a long time since I've received a mission like this!" After such an episode, Meng Xu either kept silent or perfunctory for the subsequent questions, and when the time for the press conference came, he immediately patted his ass and left, and after returning home, Meng Xu couldn't wait to enter the system space, because at the press conference just now, Meng Xu received a reminder of the system task, in Meng Xu's memory, since the end of the rookie season, Meng Xu has never received a random task released by the system, so after opening this task, Meng Xu was also a little confused.
Random Mission: Stoudemire's Challenge.
Mission Level: A-level, because Stoudemire, who loves the Pacers deeply, was traded by the team, so he is resentful and wants to beat the host's team to relieve his hatred. Stoudemire's resentment is overwhelming, so in the next game against the Pacers, Stoudemire's status will be changed to Enchantment, +10 for all stats.
Mission Requirements: In the upcoming game, help the Pacers win against the Suns while defending Stoudemire against him so that he can score no more than 15 points.
Reward: Unknown.
Quest Punishment: Location.
"It's another cheating mission." After seeing the details of this task, Meng Xu was a little weak, let me defend Stoudemire, and it was also a Stoudemire in a demonic state, this is not a pit daddy.
