Chapter 797: Taking the Wrong Script
"Reggie, don't look at me like that, I swear, I don't have any interest in Charles! Of course, I don't have any interest in you! When Meng Xu hit a three-point shot and increased his single-game score to 29 points, the atmosphere in the commentary bench immediately became awkward and ambiguous.
"Kenny, I promise that I don't have any interest in you, but Charles, I can't guarantee it." After Meng Xu shot this three points, Reggie Miller, who had already won the gamble, was not too aggressive, because Reggie Miller knew that the bet between him and Barkley was a gimmick deliberately created in order to adjust the atmosphere of the live broadcast.
"Reggie, don't worry, I'll definitely fulfill the bet between us, Kenny, what are you waiting for, hurry up and take off your pants, hahahaha."
Although Barkley was very unhappy about losing the bet with Reggie Miller, who would have thought that Meng Xu, who is 32 years old, would be able to have such a good state and such a hot hand in the first game of his comeback after four years of retirement!
11 of 18 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 29 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, the game is not over yet, Meng Xu has already won a triple-double, if today's game, the Spurs are winning the final victory, you can imagine what a crazy scene the media will be tomorrow, of course, Barkley, who lost this bet, will also become the focus of the media, and the laughing stock in the eyes of the audience, of course, the cheeky Barkley does not care about these, What's more, this bet between himself and Reggie Miller, whether he wins or loses, can pull Kenny Smith into the water.
"Charles, you bastard." When Barkley shouted to take off his pants, Kenny Smith's lungs were about to explode, and it was at this moment that Kenny Smith suddenly thought about why Barkley pulled himself in when he made a bet with Reggie Miller, because no matter whether they win or lose, Kenny Smith will be the ultimate victim, who would dare to take off his pants in the middle of live TV? I'm afraid that I don't dare to be an exhibitionist!
Just when several commentators on the commentary bench were still happily discussing the question of whether to take off their pants, after the shot, Meng Xu, who was retreating, kept looking at Popovich who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, as if he was waiting for something.
According to Meng Xu's understanding of Popovich and Meng Xu's experience playing for the Spurs, every time a Spurs player scores close to 30 points, Popovich will replace him cleanly to avoid his score exceeding 30 points, thus making a splash, so after Meng Xu's score reached 29 points, Meng Xu glanced at Popovich on the sidelines from time to time to see if he would make a substitution.
However, Meng Xu watched it several times, and Popovich was always there chatting with Duncan, as if he had forgotten about it.
After Meng Xu hit a three-point shot and widened the difference between the two sides to 6 points again, the pressure was completely tilted to the Heat's side, so after all the players on both sides were in place, the Heat played very patiently, and the basketball continued to pass outside to find the best offensive opportunity.
After a few back-and-forth swings, the basketball was handed to Chris Bosh, who was already in position near the paint area, and although Bosh didn't have Duncan's offensive skills under the basket or Duncan's deterrent power under the basket, he had no problem relying on skill to single Thiago Split.
So Chris Bosh, after receiving a pass from his teammate, first used his footwork to adjust his body posture, and then under the defense of Thiago Split, he hit a jumper about three meters from the basket.
Bosh's jump shot was another life for the Heat, and he continued to maintain the hope of overtaking, but when the offense and defense were converted, the Spurs did the same again, first Meng Xu attracted the defense, and then Ginobili broke through the defense that disrupted the Heat, and after passing the basketball out and Meng Xu shot, the Heat was forced to the edge of the cliff again.
5 minutes, 7 points, Eric Spoelstra had to call a timeout just 1 minute after the official timeout, Meng Xu hit two three-pointers in a row, like two daggers, into the heart of the Heat, causing fatal damage to the Heat*N.
Although Eric Spoelstra couldn't find a way to deal with it, it was not wrong to call a timeout and interrupt Meng Xu's feelings, so during the pause, Eric Spoelstra could only emphasize again and again, defensive position, defensive position, don't miss people, don't miss people, this seems to be common sense, but it also has a little esoteric problem.
After the pause, Chris Bosh quickly sent the sideline ball, and after winning the ball, Wade rushed directly to the weak-side half, and under the defense of Tony Parker, he hit the shot, and also caused Tony Parker's defensive foul, 2+1, and the difference between the two sides was narrowed to only 4 points.
After being hit twice in a row by the Spurs, this time when Meng Xu attacked with the ball, the Spurs gave up the bag of Meng Xu, but let James defend Meng Xu alone, in the face of James's one-on-one defense, Meng Xu was at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line, first turned around with his back to break through and got rid of James's defense, and then hit the board from mid-distance before Chris Bosh's supplementary defense arrived.
Spurs and Heat three times in a row anser-ball'!
However, the difference is that the three attacks on the Spurs' side were all completed by Meng Xu to complete the final blow, while on the Heat side, three of the Big Three each completed an attack.
After the shot was hit, Meng Xu subconsciously glanced at the bench again, but Meng Xu saw Popovich sitting there and gave him a thumbs up with a smile!
βhatοΌβ Looking at Popovich's expression, Meng Xu instantly felt unclear, confused, this script is a little wrong!
And after seeing Meng Xu's bewildered expression, Duncan, who was sitting next to Popovich, also covered his mouth and laughed, after being expelled from the field because of laughter, Duncan, who didn't like to laugh during the game, became more and more like a facial paralysis, so looking at Duncan, who was smiling very happily, Meng Xu didn't know what was going on?
But soon, Duncan put away his smile, because Duncan was laughing happily, and saw that the referee on the bottom line was staring at him with a serious face, and at the same time put the whistle in his mouth, so Duncan immediately put away his smile, instantly regained his facial paralysis, grabbed a towel and covered his head, leaned back, and looked at the court motionlessly.
"What kind of plane?" Meng Xu, who didn't notice the referee, felt more and more weird after seeing the change in Duncan's expression.
