Chapter 127: Victory and Luck Potion

In the next game, Meng Xu never got the chance to play, Meng Xu spent the entire fourth quarter wearing training clothes and ice on the bench, fortunately, when Meng Xu went off the court, the Spurs still had a nearly 10-point advantage, and Tim Duncan scored 14 points in the fourth quarter after pretending to be dead for 3 quarters, and finally the Spurs defeated the Lakers 103-96 at home, bringing the big score to 3-3 and winning a chance to breathe, and the last game of the Spurs and Lakers series, It will be played on May 20 at Staples, the home court of the Lakers.

In this game, Meng Xu shot 3 of 7, 4 of 6 free throws, scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists of an economic triple-double, Tim Duncan 24 points and 15 rebounds, Sean Elliott 18 points, Mario Elli 15 points, Avery Johnson 15 points, the Spurs team of 5 scored double-doubles, and this game is also the Spurs' outside four, the best performance this season at the same time, Sean Elliott, Mario Elli, Avery Johnson 3, 23 3-point shots in 12, the hand is off the charts, Avery Johnson, in particular, shot the most 3 3-pointers in a single game in his career, but Meng Xu made a very embarrassing 3-0 shot in this game.

"If Sean had had had that kind of touch in the previous games, we might have made it to the finals by now." After the game, Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, looking at the technical statistics, smiled to Popovich next to him.

"Sean is in a weird state in this game, and it may be difficult to have such a touch in the next game." Popovich shook his head and turned to look at Meng Xu, who was celebrating with his teammates. The next game is the home court of the Lakers, if Meng Xu is still so iron in this game, the Spurs have no hope, and what worries Popovich is that the cold hand in 3 consecutive games is likely to hit Meng Xu's shooting confidence, this game is a good example, after 3 3-point shots in the first quarter, in the next 3 quarters, Meng Xu didn't even have a 3-point shot.

"yes, it's hard for even a walker to keep that feel." After thinking about it, Mike Budenholzer was also relieved, the Spurs' 3-point shooting rate in this game reached an astonishing 46%, and if it weren't for Meng Xu's iron, it would have been higher. The Pacers, who have the best 3-point shooting in the league, only hovered around 38% in their 3-point shooting percentage, while the teams with the most 3-pointers in the league this season, the Kings, Rockets, and SuperSonics, without exception, all hit below 35, which is one of the reasons why the 3-point shot cannot become a mainstream offensive means now.

。。。。。。

At the same time that the Spurs and Lakers played to tie-break, the Heat and Knicks in the East are also inseparable, which is also the Knicks and the Heat have met in the playoffs for 3 consecutive seasons, after the Knicks and the Heat each won an away game, they finally entered the tie-break, and the tie-break between the two teams will be played after the Spurs and Lakers game. The Knicks and the Heat are very similar this season, with only two wins in the regular season, and in the first six games of this series, the highest point difference between the two teams was only 8 points, and three of the six games were played until the last minute of the game.

And the other two semifinals, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Jazz 4-1, this round of the series Jazz was completely suppressed by the Trail Blazers, the first three games lost to the Trail Blazers by an average of 18 points, and the fourth game relied on the super performance of Malone and Stockton, the Jazz barely won a home court, avoiding the fate of being swept away, and the last game between the two sides was also extremely intense, at the end of the half, the Jazz led the Trail Blazers by up to 10 points, but the Trail Blazers played the Jazz in the third quarter 28-20, And finally in the fourth quarter, Pippen shot the quasi-kill, and the Jazz double-spair also began to memorize after reaching the finals for two consecutive years, and as Malone and Stockton continue to grow older, the championship dream of the two is getting more and more distant. In this game, Scottie Pippen had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, playing the highest game of the entire series.

The Pacers led 3-0 and were beaten twice by the 76ers, and the sixth game between the two sides was played at the home of the 76ers, but at the end of the third quarter, the 76ers trailed the Pacers by as many as 20 points, and in the end the 76ers also lost to the Pacers with a score of 90-106, and Larry Brown and Iverson once again stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

"Ding, the state of enchantment is lifted, the host gains insight in the game, +1 pass, +4 breakout, +2 backcourt rebounds"

"Ding, the host gets a B-level single-game evaluation, and gets 100*2 experience points and 100*2 points"

"Ding, the host scored 10 points, 10 assists, 8 backcourt rebounds, 2 frontcourt rebounds, 3 steals, and a total of 77*2 experience points and 77*2 points"

"Ding, the host gets 3 pairs for the first time in his career, and the additional reward is 500*2 experience points, 500*2 points, and a bottle of lucky potion."

After each game, hearing this series of system prompts, Meng Xu was in the best mood in a game, and now it is no exception, the team has won, and he has also won the first 3 pairs of his career, which is really the best of both worlds. It's just that Meng Xu is a little weak-hearted, he inadvertently glanced at head coach Popovich just now, and Meng Xu found that although he won the game, Popovich's mood didn't seem to be very good, especially the look at himself. Is it because he deliberately brushed up on his assist stats, or was he dissatisfied with Sean Elliott's behavior of grabbing rebounds? If that's the case, you'll have to be careful in tomorrow morning's training session.

Item Name: Lucky Potion.

Item Class: A

Requirements: None.

Effect: This item can reduce the host's chance of injury by 20% after use, and permanently increase the host's shooting rate by 2%, which cannot be stacked or used multiple times.

"It would be nice if it could be stacked, and I will buy 50 bottles later, hahaha." After seeing the effect of the use of the lucky potion, Meng Xu clicked on it without the slightest hesitation.

After returning home, Meng Xu entered the system space, while checking his injury, he also carried out several hours of shooting training, for the 3-point shooting rate in these games, Meng Xu is very dissatisfied, now the playoff schedule is so tight, the team's training sessions are also intermittent, in order to allow the players to rest more, especially after David Robinson's injury, the Spurs players who did not perform well in the past were suspended by Popovich after the game.
