Chapter 55: Meng Xu Can Fly Too?
"Oh God, Meng can jump so high. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Looking at Meng Xu, who was jumping high in front of Reggie Miller on the basketball court, Mike Brand opened his mouth wide.
In the round just now, Reggie Miller took Meng Xu along the sideline of the front court for a big circle, and when he returned to the left 3-point line at 45 degrees, Miller received a pass from Jalen Rose, just when Miller was about to ** Meng Xu in the previous game, but found that Meng Xu, who could only seal his eyes in the previous game, jumped up directly and slapped the basketball he threw to the audience.
Reggie Miller, who fell from the sky, looked at Meng Xu with a surprised face, Meng Xu jumped too high just now, if he remembered correctly, in the previous game, the two jumped at the same time, Meng Xu's height was half a head lower than himself, and he often fell before himself, which is also one of the main reasons why Miller was able to shoot calmly, and this time, Meng Xu's height was more than half a head higher than himself, and he had already fallen, this guy was still floating in the air, and after barely making a shot, he was hit by a sturdy big hat.
"Ahh After successfully blocking Reggie Miller, Meng Xu yelled loudly twice towards the audience, venting all the grievances in the previous game.
"Pretty cap, is Meng's bounce so good? Isn't his physical fitness worse than Larry Bird? How could he jump so high. Michaels on the commentary bench was also shocked.
"Greg, it's incredible, when did Meng have such a great jumping ability." When he saw the excellent bounce that Meng Xu showed in this defense just now, Mike? Budenholzer was also a bit out of character.
"It seems that we still underestimate Meng's potential." In the previous physical test and the first half of the season, Meng Xu's bounce and strength were really average, which also directly affected Popovich's assessment of Meng Xu's ceiling. And the block just now, Meng Xu's bounce ability is obviously more than one level stronger than before, is this guy hiding his strength? As a very sane person, Popovich doesn't believe in epiphany or anything, and in Popovich's opinion, this time it was either an accident or this guy deliberately hid his strength in the previous game.
If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, what is his purpose in doing it? Popovich touched his thinning hair and stared at Meng Xu on the field.
"What a funny little guy." On the bench of the Pacers, Larry Bird, who is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, is very calm at the moment. Larry Bird now has only one thing on his mind, that is, how to deal with the Spurs' twin towers, the situation in the entire East this season is very favorable to the Pacers, the Pacers have several main competitors in the East, the Miami Heat after experiencing last season's Black Eight, this season's state is not as good as before, and the New York Knicks' star Patrick Ewing is one year older, both physically and in shape are declining sharply. For this season's Pacers, the run-in between the players has reached its best, and Larry Bird has successfully found a way for Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose to coexist.
If nothing else, the Pacers have a great hope of breaking through from the East and reaching the Finals, and the opponent in the Finals is likely to be one between the Spurs and the Lakers. Therefore, from the beginning of this season, Larry Bird began to look for ways to deal with these two teams, so in the regular season, Larry Bird did not care about the victory or defeat of the two teams, but continued to experiment with various tactics to find a way to beat these two teams.
"Rookie, as a person who has come over, it is necessary for me to teach you a little life experience, young people should not be too arrogant, otherwise it will be easy to come in standing and go out lying down." The block just now also made Reggie Miller very popular, although it is normal for a player to be blocked, but with Miller's current status in the league, being taken by a rookie also makes Miller's old face a little unbearable.
So Miller was also bent on finding the field, and just after Meng Xu passed half the court, Miller posted it, and put his hands on Meng Xu's waist a little dishonestly.
Just as Reggie Miller was about to make a small move, Meng Xu shook off Reggie Miller and ran towards the bottom corner. As the player with the highest 3-point shooting percentage and the most 3-point shooting per game in the Spurs this season, Meng Xu is completely an outside shooter in the Spurs' offensive tactics, and his task is to shake off the players who defend him, run out of the open space, and then wait for his teammates to pass.
As soon as Meng Xu ran to the bottom corner, Reggie Miller followed ghostly, blocking Meng Xu's receiving route before Duncan passed, and he was still chattering trash talk.
"No wonder Jordan would punch you." Meng Xu himself is a guy who likes to quarrel with others, but when he met Reggie Miller today, Meng Xu realized that he was still too young and too amateurish, and his trash talk was not lethal at all for an old ball ruffian like Reggie Miller. On the contrary, he was a little upset by Miller's harassment.
Jordan's boxing of Reggie Miller is also a well-known anecdote in the league, and Jordan's trash talk is also at the top level in the league, but compared with Miller, Jordan is also willing to bow down. On February 10, 1993, in the game between the Bulls and the Pacers, in the confrontation with Jordan, Reggie Miller made small moves and trash talk, sprayed Jordan in a rage, and beat Reggie Miller in front of more than 16,000 spectators, and the referee on duty expelled Miller from the game, so Miller has always been obsessed with that game, which is also the reason why Jordan's results are blowing up the sky, and Miller can't look down on Jordan.
"Bastard." Hearing Meng Xu say this, Miller immediately became angry.
Meng Xu took this opportunity to run directly along the bottom line to the other side of the court, and Reggie Miller, who was following behind, was blocked by David Robinson, and the unguarded Meng Xu immediately received a pass from his teammates, and after dribbling a step, Meng Xu ran outside the 3-point line, turned around, and Meng Xu jumped.
After getting rid of David Robinson, Miller chased after him again, looking at Meng Xu, who had already jumped, Miller pounced without hesitation, but Miller, who jumped up, found that he couldn't reach the basketball in Meng Xu's hand at all. In terms of height and arm span, he does not have an advantage, and the opponent jumps higher than himself, and his shooting posture is still backward, which makes people a little embarrassed.
