Chapter 749: Crazy Meng Xu

"Meng, you got the first 60+ triple-double in the entire NBA history today, do you have any special feelings?"

On December 22, 2007, Meng Xu, who ended the away game against the Celtics, just walked into the scene of the press conference, and the reporters in the audience pointed all the microphones in their hands at Meng Xu, the matchup between the top two teams in the East between the Pacers and the Celtics, attracted a lot of attention and attention, Meng Xu VS the Big Three of the Green Army, is definitely the focus of all seven games in this round.

And the process of today's game is also ups and downs, after the start of the game, the Celtics triumvirate alternately, leading the Celtics' offense one by one, and steadily suppressing the Pacers in the first three quarters of the game, but when the game entered the final quarter, in front of Meng Xu's crazy 32 points in a single quarter, the Celtics collapsed directly.

And Meng Xu also cut 62 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals at the end of today's game, 60+ triple-double is the first time in NBA history, and after getting a triple-double in today's game, Meng Xu got his 17th triple-double in a single season, and scored 17 triple-doubles in 27 games, especially in the 17 games in which Meng Xu won a triple-double, the Pacers' record is an astonishing 16-1, which can completely block the mouths of those media reporters.

"There's nothing special about it, I think wins are more important than anything else, and as for the stats or something, you know, I'm a player who doesn't care about the stats at all, as long as the team can win, I get 10 points, it's no different from 60 points, but I still want to thank my teammates, without their hard work, I can't beat the mighty Celtic alone." After answering this question very modestly, Meng Xu stretched out his hand and motioned for the next reporter to ask a question.

After Meng Xu answered this question with a smile on his face, the New York Times reporter in the audience frowned, and scolded in his heart: Hypocritical guy.

"Meng, although the season is not over yet, and it is a little too early to talk about what will happen after the end of the season, but now that almost all the media is talking about your stats, everyone is saying that you will be the second player to complete a triple-double in a single season after Oscar Robertson, what do you think about that? Or do you think you can accomplish such a feat as averaging a triple-double per game in a single season? After Meng Xu stretched out his hand to signal, the reporter from USA Today immediately asked his own question.

Due to Jermaine O'Neal's season reimbursement, Meng Xu's shots this season have increased significantly, and his average points per game have exceeded 30 points again, and he is currently ranked first in the league's scoring list with an average of 33 points per game.

As for rebounding, after Kwame Brown joined, Meng Xu's rebounds also flew up, Kwame Brown's palms were relatively small, so many rebounds that Darko Milicic and Jermaine O'Neal could barely grab, but Kwame Brown couldn't do anything, and even after grabbing the rebounds, there was an embarrassing situation of butter hands because of the small palms, so after playing a few games, Kwame Brown took the initiative to reduce the rush to rebounds, but chose to jam the opposing player, I couldn't grab it, You can't grab either, in this case, the Pacers' other starting interior Darko Milicic and Meng Xu, who has a first-class rebounding sense, have been grabbing rebounds this season, Darko Milicic is now ranked fourth on the rebounding list with an average of 12 rebounds per game, and Meng Xu is also ranked eighth on the rebounding list with an average of 10.6 rebounds per game.

Averaged 33 points, 11 assists, 10.6 rebounds, 3 steals, 1.5 blocks, 53% shooting, 43.5% three-point shooting, and 92% free throw shooting per game. Even Oscar Robertson, who once accomplished this feat 45 years ago, recently publicly shouted to Meng Xu, hoping that Meng Xu can make persistent efforts and complete the second single-season triple-double in NBA history after the regular season this season.

"I'm still saying that, data or anything has never been something I value." Meng Xu, who was tired of this kind of question, still answered the question of the reporter from USA Today with a smile.

"Meng, this year's Christmas game, you are going to play against the Lakers at home, and the Lakers' star Kobe Bryant said in an interview a few days ago that he wants to beat you in the competition for the scoring title, do you have anything to say to Kobe Bryant?" In this season's scoring rankings, only Meng Xu and Kobe Bryant have averaged more than 30 points per game, and Kobe Bryant is also known for his strong scores, so some media deliberately provoke between the two, hoping to cause a fight between Kobe and Meng Xu.

Compared with the Pacers' injuries, this season's Lakers can be described as strong, and as the Lakers' leading player, Kobe Bryant is also proud this season, relying on the Lakers' No. 1 record in the West. and averaged 31.6 points, 6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, Kobe Bryant historically appeared in the first place in the regular season MVP rankings, so Kobe Bryant is now somewhat complacent, and in the usual call with Meng Xu, Kobe's tone has become different from before, because in Kobe's opinion, he finally ushered in the perfect opportunity to beat Meng Xu.

"The scoring champion is not my exclusive honor, any player in this league has all his strength to compete for this honor, as a symbol of the strongest scorer, it is normal for Kobe Bryant to want this honor, I don't think there is anything wrong with what he said, okay, next." Meng Xu didn't have a good impression of the New York Times, which was always biting himself, so after briefly answering their questions, Meng Xu directly signaled the next reporter to start asking questions.

"Anyone, Michael is not as arrogant as you." As one of the largest newspaper giants in the United States, the New York Times has a very strong influence in the entire United States, so many sports stars, even celebrities and politicians, are polite when interviewed by the New York Times, but this guy in front of him has always taken a blind attitude towards the New York Times because of a little grudge in the past, and has always directly refused the invitation to the New York Times for private interviews. The influence of the New York Times in the NBA is much less than before, so you are unkind to me, as long as you seize the opportunity, the New York Times will slam Meng Xu, making the relationship between the two sides more and more tense.
