"Meng, you can rest for a while."

Although the score is 16 points behind, the Pistons are likely to send the main players to give it a go in the opening stage of the fourth quarter, but Rick Carlisle still plans to let Meng Xu sit on the court and rest for a while, Meng Xu has played almost 33 minutes today, under the defense of the Pistons almost all the way, Meng Xu cut 53 points, you don't have to think about it, you know what Meng Xu's physical exertion is now, so Rick Carlisle didn't discuss with Meng Xu at all this time, Instead, he directly asked Meng Xu to sit on the bench and rest in a commanding tone.

Sure enough, as soon as the fourth quarter began, the Pistons sent all the main lineup, including Peja Stojakovic, who had been resting on the bench for a long time, and it is estimated that Philip Saunders also expected Meng Xu to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, so he sent Peja Stojakovic to prepare to strengthen the offense, and it is best to play a wave to recover the score.

On the Pacers' side, Rick Carlisle replaced Meng Xu with James Posey, and at the same time replaced Tony Allen with Anfernee Hardaway, Tony Allen's organizational ability itself is average, so after Meng Xu went off the court, Rick Carlisle replaced Tony Allen with Anfernee Hardaway, and let Anfernee Hardaway and James Posey sort out the team's offense together.

By the time Rick Carlisle informed Meng Xu to play, there were less than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, and it is estimated that Rick Carlisle planned to let Meng Xu rest until after the official timeout, but the Pistons have now completely controlled the situation on the court, and beat the Pacers 21-11 in the first 5 minutes, which has narrowed the score difference to single digits, so Rick Carlisle decided to let Meng Xu play early.

"Meng Xu has already stood on the sidelines, and the entire Banker's Life Arena is now boiling, and countless fans on the scene are waiting for Meng Xu to refresh the moment of history." When Meng Xu stood on the sidelines, the Banker's Life Arena immediately boiled, all the fans stood up and chanted Meng Xu's name in unison, when the third quarter of the game ended, after Meng Xu's scoring data was played on the big screen on the scene, these fans on the scene were extremely looking forward to Meng Xu being able to score 60+ today, especially on the Pacers' sworn enemy Pistons to score 60+, and they were excited to think about it.

"Anferne, hard work." Meng Xu, who was waiting on the sidelines, and Anfernee Hardaway who came off the court high-fived each other, before walking back to the court, plagued by injuries, Anfernee Hardaway is no longer what it used to be, but Hardaway's fighting spirit and hard work have not diminished back then, just now on the court, it was Anfernee Hardaway's two consecutive three-pointers that did not let the Pistons chase the difference to within 5 points.

Because Meng Xu was replaced by Anfernee Hardaway in the opposite position, after coming on the court, Meng Xu took over the position of Anfernee Hardaway and went to play the organizational guard, but when Meng Xu advanced to the top of the arc with the ball, Meng Xu found that now defending himself is one person who is defending Anfernee Hardaway just now, that is, Chauncey Billups, the Pistons' organizational guard, Philip Saunders did not arrange someone to cover himself, which was definitely unexpected by Meng Xu.

Perhaps considering that Meng Xu has been sitting on the bench for a long time and has long lost his hand, Philip Saunders has not changed the team's established defensive strategy, and now there is only 1 minute left before the official timeout is full, and it is somewhat wasteful to call a timeout to adjust the defensive strategy.

Chauncy Billups' defense is very good, and he was selected for the second team of the best defensive team this season, but in the face of a player like Meng Xu, who is too different in height and strength, Chauncey Billups is still a little weak, Meng Xu played as an organizational defender in the two seasons, and every time he played against Meng Xu, Chauncey Billups played very ugly.

For Meng Xu, in the face of a defensive player like Billups, whose height is one cut apart and whose strength and speed are not as good as his own, Meng Xu has dozens of ways to singled him, but this time Meng Xu still chose a relatively simple way to attack, feint for a while, and then take a big step towards the left side of his body. The reason why Meng Xu didn't choose to step back and pull out the jumper, but because Meng Xu's position just now was relatively backward, more than one meter away from the three-point line, and then if he stepped back, it was almost two meters away from the three-point line.

"It's 56 points." After Meng Xu hit a three-point shot, Magic Johnson on the sidelines was like a number teller, reporting Meng Xu's score, and behind Magic Johnson, the fans at the scene were chanting "MVP, MVP ......" in unison.

Meng Xu hit a three-point shot, and the difference between the two sides came to 9 points, so the Pistons' next offense, we must be cautious, the single-digit difference and the double-digit difference, the meaning of the difference, and the psychological hint is far different, if the Pistons' offense failed to score, or there was a mistake, the Pacers seized the opportunity to expand the difference to more than 10, then the Pistons' hope of turning the tables is very slim.

Offensive and defensive conversion, under Meng Xu's close defense, Chauncey Billups did not have too much sticky ball, and after passing the ball through the half court, he passed the basketball to Richard Hamilton, from Rick Carlisle to Larry Brown, and now Philip Saunders, the Pistons have always insisted on team basketball, so the Pistons on the offensive end, there will be no infinite singles like Meng Xu, basically whoever has a good chance will attack, and pass the ball if the opportunity is bad.

Richard Hamilton, who was stuck to Tyshawn Prince, did not choose to attack himself after receiving Chauncey Billups' pass, but passed the basketball to Rasheed Wallace who was pulled out from under the basket.

After a turn, the basketball finally came to the hands of Peja Stojakovic on the right side of the court, and at this time, Peja Stojakovic had already run out of the opportunity through the cross run with Richard Hamilton just now, so Peja Stojakovic, who received a pass from Rashid Wallace, jumped slightly after adjusting his body posture slightly, ready to take advantage of the situation to throw the basketball in his hand.

"Peja, be careful." As soon as Peja Stojakovic jumped, Chauncy Billups, who was not far from him, saw Meng Xu, who was defending him, pounced on Peja Stojakovic.

Peja Stojakovic, who was already about to throw the basketball in his hand, subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from after hearing Chauncey Billups's terrifying sound, and then Peja Stojakovic found that Meng Xu, who was waving his right hand, pounced towards him like a falcon that had found its prey.

With a snap, the basketball that was barely thrown by Peja Stojakovic was slapped out of the bottom line by Meng Xu, who pounced diagonally.

"How is this possible?" Peja Stojakovic, who stumbled and fell from the air, his mind went blank, what happened just now?

"Perfect defense, perfect blocking, Meng Xu's judgment, bounce speed, and bounce height, it's amazing!"

"The Pistons are on the edge of a cliff." Meng Xu's block was definitely a fatal block for the Piston, and the Piston, which had just improved a little, was stifled by Meng Xu's attack and defense after he came on the court.
