At this time, on the court, the surrounding reporters unceremoniously squandered their films, and at the same time they were already thinking about tomorrow's press release, and the audience at Madison Garden Plaza even resounded with sparse applause, obviously Meng Xu's dunk has added a lot of fans for himself. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info New York Knicks fans have always been the most special group in the entire NBA league, not only will the home team be booed by them if they don't perform well, but they will never skimp on their applause and cheers for those who perform well.

On the court, after landing on the ground, Meng Xu waved his fist and roared to the sky with a hideous face, and the buckle just now exploded all the sucking qi that Meng Xu was constantly being blackened by Sprewell and Larry Johnson in the third quarter.

Looking at Meng Xu who was showing off his power in front of him, the first thing Larry Johnson thought about when he came to his senses was to rush up and beat him, but he was stopped by Ewing behind him, 38-year-old Ewing this year, has reached the end of his career, and now his only hope is to win a championship before retiring, just like David Robinson. In recent seasons, the Knicks' playoff journey has been either ruined by brawls or injuries, and after the run-in and black eight after last season's big trade, this season's Knicks have played smoothly and won the championship is not impossible, Ewing obviously does not want his last hope to be ruined by brawl again.

Alan Houston, who witnessed the whole process of this dunk behind Meng Xu, also looked at Meng Xu who was still confronting Larry Johnson with some trepidation.

Larry Johnson, who thought he had suffered a great humiliation, cursed and wanted to break away from Ewing's arm, and Sprewell on the side also rushed over and hugged him, constantly shouting "Calm down"

Seeing that the referee put the whistle in his mouth, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines decisively called a timeout, and Larry Johnson had already committed a technical foul and should have been ejected on impulse.

"Meng, I thought you were going to fly out of the stadium just now." When he got off the field, Avery Johnson put his arm around Meng Xu's shoulders and exaggerated the scene just now.

"Avery was so comfortable with your passing just now." Touting each other is also an art of getting along, which is something that Anna kept instilling in Meng Xu before Meng Xu entered the alliance.

"Larry, you have to be calm, don't be impulsive, now we have a score lead, once you get sent off, we can't get rid of the big man on the other side." Larry Johnson's fiery temper has always been a time bomb for the Knicks, but Larry Johnson's strong fighting spirit and strong ability are also indispensable to the current Knicks.

Tim Duncan is too strong for Ewing and Larry Johnson to barely reach a tie with him, and if Larry Johnson is sent off on impulse again, then the Knicks will be over for this game. This game is not only the Knicks' revenge battle, but also related to the final playoff standings, this season's regular season has passed the halfway point, in the game with the current Eastern No. 1 Pacers, the Knicks lost all 3 games, in order to get home court advantage over the Pacers in the playoffs, it is necessary to overwhelm the Pacers in the regular season rankings, the Pacers lost to the Lakers yesterday, and they are only half a win ahead of the Knicks, if they can beat the Spurs today, then the Knicks will overtake the Pacers and become the first in the East. And in the third quarter, relying on this tough iron or dirty defense, the Knicks finally overtook the score, and Jeff Van Gundy didn't want this hard-won situation to go down the drain.

Larry Johnson, who had calmed down at this moment, also nodded, and then looked at Meng Xu's back in the distance with a resentful expression.

"Meng, although your dunk is beautiful, you have to remember that this is not the arena for the slam dunk contest. Larry and Ewing are Thiem's, your opponent is Alan Houston, and in the rest of the game, I don't want you to rush inside to dunk like you did just now, otherwise you'll take me off, understand? Popovich has always been very satisfied with Meng Xu's ability and attitude to the game, the only thing that is dissatisfied with Meng Xu is his showy character, in Popovich's eyes, all players should be like Duncan, diligent, steady play, not smiling, those players who like to be showy and please the fans have always been disgusted by Popovich. Meng Xu rode Larry Johnson just now, which is very successful from a sensory point of view, and it is also liked by NBA fans and even David Stern, but this way of playing is not only more physically demanding, but also undoubtedly increases the chance of injury to players.

"Coach, I see." From Popovich's words, Meng Xu clearly felt dissatisfied, although Popovich did not turn on the hair dryer to spray himself, but Meng Xu would not think that Popovich would just forget it, and he would definitely be treated inhumanly in the training session after this game.

Looking at the Knicks bench in the distance, Popovich also frowned, who are the New York Knicks, Meng Xu may not know, how can Popovich not know? Meng Xu first provoked Jeff Van Gundy in the first half, and now he rode Larry Johnson, once these guys launched a ruthless attack, Meng Xu's situation was not very good, and if he was injured, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Meng, you did a great job, you just want to kick them like this, and the coach is also worried that you will get hurt, so you don't have any psychological burden." When he came on the court, Tim Duncan hugged Meng Xu and comforted him, and at this moment, Meng Xu's face also looked a little better.

After the game restarted, the Knicks' defensive scale was even larger, Sprewell did everything to Meng Xu's dragging, due to the decline in physical strength, Meng Xu's advantage in speed could not be played, and Sprewell's defense itself was very good, in the last three minutes of the third quarter, Meng Xu only got one shooting opportunity and hit the iron. And the game on the court has also become an iron game, Duncan is a pillar of optimism on the inside, whether it is Ewing or Larry Johnson, and Meng Xu's defense of Alan Houston is also very successful, in the continuous foul errors and iron, the third quarter of the game is over.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Spurs by four points at 80-76, and the two teams also played a 16-11 super low score in the third quarter. In the first three quarters of the game

Meng Xu shot 6-of-13 from the field and 4-of-11 from 3-point range, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
