Chapter 195: Score Record
There are still 6 minutes and 31 seconds in the game, and the Huaguo basketball team is already 25 points behind, although the 25-point gap is already the lowest score difference between the two teams in the past, but for this almost humiliating score, Meng Xu's heart is still unacceptable, Meng Xu is a player who will cry after the first loss, this is a player with a strong competitive spirit, not to mention that Meng Xu now has a killer weapon that has not been used.
"Turn on the pretend mode." After hearing the prompt sound determined by the system, Meng Xu's mood is also very excited, and he asked his teammates for a piece of chewing gum before going on the field, wanting to relieve his excitement by chewing gum.
The 25-point difference, for almost everyone, this game is over, whether it is the players of the American team on the field, or the players of the Chinese team, what they can do now is to consume the remaining time, the overall situation has been decided, and there is no point in the two sides doing senseless confrontation. Because even if they lose this game, the Chinese team will compete with the loser of another game tomorrow for the bronze medal in men's basketball at the Olympic Games, and the United States will start preparing for the final of the Olympic Games. Therefore, whether it is for the United States team or the Chinese team, the next game has no meaning, the two teams not only play very casually in attack, but also on the defensive end, especially the defensive intensity of the American team has been greatly reduced.
After Meng Xu got rid of Alan Houston, there were no other American players to make up for him, and Meng Xu was at the top of the 3-point arc, and he shot directly, and after the shot, he quickly returned to defense, regardless of whether the shot hit or not. And just after Meng Xu turned his head and ran towards the backcourt, the basketball thrown by Meng Xu was hollowed into the net, and Wenbeck and Rahim, who had already been stuck in position and were waiting to grab rebounds under the basket, were also embarrassed.
"After Meng Xu came on the court, he hit a 3-pointer to narrow the gap to 22 points." After Meng Xu came on the field, although the score difference between the two teams still made people feel hopeless, but now they finally saw a little hope.
"Alain, your shot is very beautiful, but I bet you won't be able to shoot this shot." From behind, Alan Houston was close to him, and after seeing Alan Houston receiving Tim Hardaway's pass, he wanted to break through himself, and Meng Xu also deliberately used words to stimulate him, wanting him to force a shot in front of him, so as to shorten the offensive time.
"Can't make it? I'm going to vote for you. "What kind of person is Alan Houston, that's the current boss of the Knicks, although Alan Houston has a calm personality and is a player who prefers the type of Mr. Good, but if you think he is easy to bully, it is very wrong, the players from the New York Gangsters, which one is easy to deal with.
Alan Houston leaned on Meng Xu, shrugged his shoulders to the left and made a feint, and then turned his back directly in front of Meng Xu and forcibly jumped, but Alan Houston's shot was as Meng Xu said, and he didn't hit. Because Alan Houston in order to avoid Meng Xu's block in the air, the range of his back is very large, and it is not much different from Jordan's back, but Alan Houston, who has never thrown this kind of ball, is still a little lacking in the grasp of strength, so this shot is a little short.
"Alain, let's see how I shoot." After receiving the pass from his teammates, Meng Xu began to advance with the ball from the backcourt, under the tight defense of the American team, whether it was facing Jason Kidd or Tim Hardaway, the two point guards of the national team, Li Xiaoyong and Guo Shiqiang, dribbled the ball through the middle circle It was very difficult, in this case, Meng Xu and Guo Shiqiang decided after communication that in the last few minutes, Meng Xu would take on the task of controlling the ball.
After changing direction through continuous shaking and retreat steps, Meng Xu got rid of the double bag of Tim Hardaway and Alan Houston, after dribbling through the middle circle, Meng Xu did not pause at all, and rushed directly to the 45-degree angle of the 3-point line on the left, ignoring Alan Houston, who had caught up, and shot directly, and just like just now, regardless of whether the basketball went in or not after the shot, he quickly returned to the defense.
。。。。。。
"Another 3 points, this is the fourth 3-point hit by Meng Xu in a row, and now the difference between the two teams has been narrowed to 17 points." When Meng Xu once again ignored Alan Houston, who was defending himself, and hit his fourth 3-point in the 4th quarter, Mr. Zhang was also surprised by Meng Xu's unreasonable outside shooting, chewing gum in his mouth, with an indifferent expression, after receiving the ball in the backcourt, he dribbled directly to the 3-point line, ignoring his teammates and defending his players, he jumped and shot directly, turned around and left after shooting, and did not have the slightest intention of grabbing rebounds, this kind of one-on-five play, Is it still the same Meng Xu who was labeled as a team player as soon as he entered the NBA?
"Alas, the goal didn't go in." With Su Qun's sigh, the audience who watched the game at the scene was also sorry for Meng Xu for losing this goal, the original audience on the field, except for thousands of Chinese fans, came to see the American team abuse vegetables, but when Meng Xu suddenly exploded in the fourth season, many fans on the scene supported the No. 5 player of the Chinese basketball team.
Because after the pretending mode was turned on, Meng Xu's outside shooting had a minimum shooting rate of 72%, so in the face of Alan Houston, who defended himself, Meng Xu also used the most malignant way of playing, directly outside the 3-point line, all kinds of dry pull-out jump shots, and waited until he jumped to the highest before shooting, so Meng Xu's shooting point was very high, Alan Houston could only look at the ball and sigh for Meng Xu's shooting, which gave fans watching the game an illusion. At the same time, because this kind of dry pull-out jump shot itself will give people a picturesque feeling, coupled with Meng Xu's slender figure, it gives people a more and more chic and handsome feeling, especially after Meng Xu shot, he didn't look at the basket at all, and then quickly returned to defense, giving people the feeling that Meng Xu already knew that he would shoot.
"Greg, is this still the Meng we know? How did you become like this when you arrived at the national team? "Far away in San Antonio, Popovich, accompanied by assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, is watching the Olympic semifinals between the United States team and the Chinese national team, in fact, the main thing is to observe Meng Xu's current situation. In the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, Meng Xu was very annoyed by the injury, but fortunately, Meng Xu was okay in the final examination, so Popovich did not fall in every game after Meng Xu's comeback.
"How much has changed in one offseason?" Popovich was also very surprised by Meng Xu's change, seeing the player on the field who looked fearless and completely ignored his teammates and defenders, Popovich was also very suspicious that he had recognized the wrong person.
"I hit another one, Meng feels really good today." While Popovich was talking to Greig, Meng Xu hit his seventh 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, and Meng Xu shot an astonishing 7-of-8 shooting percentage in the fourth quarter.
After Meng Xu scored 21 points in a row, the lead of the American team was only 11 points, although there were more than 2 minutes left in the game, and the Huaguo team could not make any big waves, but looking at Meng Xu's continuous scoring, if he was allowed to go on like this, then Meng Xu would probably become the first player to face the American team to cut 30+ in a single quarter, if Meng Xu really did it, even if the American team won in the end, it would be an indelible shame for the American team. In this case, Tom Novic also called a timeout, and targeted Meng Xu was replaced, replacing Alan Houston and Antonio McDyes, and directly sent the two strongest players on the outside defense of the American team, Vince Carter and Gary Payton, to defend Meng Xu, Meng Xu's treatment is also the first time in the history of the American team.
"Three-person bag? Interesting. When they saw Meng Xu advancing with the ball in the backcourt, the U.S. team directly sandwiched Meng Xu with three people, and these three people were Vince Carter, Gary Payton and Jason Kidd, Popovich, who had a dignified face, smiled instead. The defense of these 3 outside players is the top in the NBA, especially Gary Payton and Jason Kidd both entered the best defensive team last season.
"Meng's ball control is so good?" Seeing Meng Xu in the three-man bag of the American team, turning and moving, and finally dribbling the ball through the center circle before the 8-second violation, and then in the multi-person bag of the American team, after shooting directly, Mike Budenholzer felt that he needed to re-examine Meng Xu's ball control ability.
"Meng has improved a lot this offseason."
。。。。。
"Hey, you really dare to shoot, it's in again, this is already Meng Xu's 9th 3-point hit in the fourth quarter. This kind of ball can only be played by Meng Xu. Now Zhang Li is not interested in winning or losing this game at all, and what he is most concerned about now is how many points Meng Xu can score in this game against the United States.
"This ball is too difficult, after hitting this goal, Meng Xu has now scored 48 points, Coach Zhang, what is the record of our national team's personal highest score in the World Series?" When Meng Xu hit another goal in the multi-person package, he had increased his personal score to 48 points, and in Su Qun's impression, no player from the Chinese country had ever scored so high in an international competition.
"Yes, the highest single score of our national team in the Olympics is still the 33 points of Daniel Zhang in the 88 Seoul Olympics, and Meng Xu directly increased this record by 15 points in this game." As the former scoring machine of the national team, Zhang Li still has a lot of scoring records in the national team, but it is a pity that those records are mostly in the World Championships and Asian competitions, and the Olympics is the pain of Zhang Lili's life.
Meng Xu glanced up at the scoreboard, 107-98, still 9 points behind the American team, there were less than 30 seconds left in the game, standing near the center circle and slapping the basketball, letting the sweat drip onto the floor, Meng Xu knew that he had no time.
With the sound of the system prompt, the moment he lost the state bonus, Meng Xu almost sat on the ground just now, within 6 minutes, 12 shots, and he was still facing the defense of many people, although he hit 9 3-pointers in a single quarter, but these 6 minutes almost exhausted Meng Xu's physical strength, and he couldn't bear to cheer up, Meng Xu wanted to complete this last attack.
After recovering a little strength, Meng Xu began to accelerate and break through near the center circle, after getting rid of Vince Carter, Jason Kidd and Gary Payton in a row, although Meng Xu had already rushed into the paint area, but at this moment Meng Xu felt that he could no longer run, and at the moment when Kevin Garnett rushed over, Meng Xu, who couldn't dodge, directly hit Garnett's body.
"I'm so tired." Lying on the ground, the basketball has rolled out of the sideline, I don't know why, at this moment, Meng Xu remembered David Robinson and Reggie Miller in the playoffs, when they lay down on the ground like this to themselves, and then they couldn't get up. At this moment, Meng Xu didn't know what his tears were for? Is it because your team was eliminated? Or is it because I'm hurting? Then Meng Xu shook his legs, wanting to make sure that he was not injured.
"It's broken, it won't hurt." Seeing Meng Xu, who was supported by his teammates and left the stadium with tears on his face, Popovich stood up directly in front of the TV.
In the end, after Meng Xu got off the court, neither team was scoring, and the final score was still 107-98, the United States team defeated the Huaguo team without danger and entered the final of men's basketball in this Olympic Games, and the focus of this game was neither the United States team that reached the finals, nor the eliminated Huaguo team, but 23 shots in 16, 11 in 3-pointers, 5 in 7 free throws, and Meng Xu, who scored 48 points in the game, and Meng Xu scored 27 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, hitting 11 3-pointers. It also broke two records in the men's basketball competition at the Olympic Games.
