Chapter 356: The Beginning of an Era

"This kind of shooting is just speechless." After watching Meng Xu ** Keith Van Horn again and stretching the score between the two sides to 10 points, Byron Scott on the sidelines also scratched his increasingly thin head anxiously, and called a timeout helplessly, this timeout was just 2 minutes after Byron Scott's last timeout.

Originally, in Byron Scott's view, Meng Xu, who didn't shoot much in the whole game, even if he wanted to take over the game in the fourth quarter, he needed time to adapt and need time to get back to his touch, but what made Byron Scott a little speechless was that after Meng Xu came on the court, in just over 3 minutes, he shot 5 of 7, including 3 of 5 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points in a row. And Meng Xu's offensive style, whether it is a layup after a large continuous change of direction, or a step-back dry pull-out jumper that ignores Keith Van Horn's defense, is very demoralizing, no matter whether there is anyone to defend or not, no matter how many people are in front of him, he can get rid of the defense very calmly, and then shoot.

At the same time, Byron Scott also saw that Keith Van Horn, the Nets' main defense of Meng Xu, was very frustrated when he got off the court now, although he continued to be attacked by injuries, but Keith Van Horn was once a talented player on the same level as Duncan, in his career of several years, Keith Van Horn has never been so nested as today, in the few minutes that Meng Xu played on the court and Keith Van Horn, Keith Van Horn was blown up by Meng Xu at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, after being continuously Meng Xu**, The Nets took the initiative to create a single opportunity for Keith Van Horn to play Meng Xu, but the result was very helpless, Keith Van Horn was against Meng Xu, speed, strength, bounce, and was at a disadvantage in an all-round way.

"Erwin, although it was only a few minutes, I have to admit that Meng dominated the arena and dominated the game in those few minutes." Seeing Meng Xu, who had already walked to the sidelines, high-five his teammates with a calm face, Michaels was also very excited now. Since entering the league, every progress of Meng Xu, Michaels has been in his eyes, it can be said that Michaels is the first person who is optimistic about Meng Xu's success in the NBA, although now for some indescribable reasons, Michaels is no longer touting Meng Xu as before, but as a senior Meng Chui, seeing Meng Xu play a dominant performance, Michaels's heart is still happy for Meng Xu.

"That's true, compared with last season, Meng Xu's improvement is very obvious." After hearing Michaels' words, Magic Johnson also nodded, compared with last season, Meng Xu has become more and more and began to show his dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not only through defense to change the game, but also through offense to break the opponent. Thinking of this, Magic Johnson moved his eyes to the sidelines and looked at his old buddy Larry Bird. Judging from Meng Xu's progress trend, I am afraid that Meng Xu will neither be "Larry Bird Second" nor "Magic Second" in the future, and the bet between himself and Larry Bird may not be able to win.

"Here we go again!" When the timeout ended and the game restarted, in the face of Keith Van Horne and Corey Kidders's two-man package, Meng Xu hit again, the Nets players who defended Meng Xu were already close to collapse, this kind of desperate defense, and the feeling of not being able to stop the opponent, not only will make people feel frustrated, but also hit the self-confidence of the defensive players hard, especially Meng Xu doesn't seem to take them into account at all, and the expression of such an easy way to get you is even more maddening.

When there were less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, 105-91, when the Pacers' lead extended to 14 points, the head coach of the Nets, Byron Scott, replaced all the main players on the court, and the Nets will face the league's No. 1 Kings at home tomorrow, so when the overall situation has been decided, Byron Scott has given up struggling.

After the Nets replaced all the main players, Meng Xu also went off the court when there was 1 minute left in the game time, although Meng Xu only played 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, but there is no doubt that the fourth quarter of this game is a performance moment for Meng Xu, before the official pause, the two teams were still inseparable, but when Meng Xu reappeared, the situation of the game took a sharp turn, and the Nets did not even have the slightest ability to resist, and the game was over.

112-95, Jamal Tinsley, who played at the last moment, made persistent efforts to widen the difference between the two teams all the way to 17 points, and the Pacers, who once trailed by 11 points, not only reversed the game, but also won the Nets by 17 points, and the 17-point difference was also the largest difference between the Nets and the Pacers in the four meetings this season.

"Congratulations to the Pacers, congratulations on winning the game and being the team with the most wins in the East." After the whistle blew at the end of the game, Magic Johnson on the commentary bench also stood up and gave his own applause to the players on the court and his old buddy Larry Bird.

Before the start of this season, Larry Bird took over the Pacers again as a savior, although Larry Bird in Indiana, and the huge prestige in the Pacers, so that the Pacers up and down, no one dared to oppose him, but Larry Bird with 3 main players plus draft picks in exchange for Meng Xu's trade, there are still many people who question, countless people are waiting to see Larry Bird and the Pacers' jokes, waiting to see the Pacers under the leadership of Meng Xu and Larry Bird, sliding into the abyss. But after most of the season, the Pacers not only did not sink, but instead topped the East, which is undoubtedly like a slap in the face of those doubters.

"With 21 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, I can't remember how many times Meng has scored 20+ in the fourth quarter this season." Holding technical statistics in his left hand and holding the microphone on the side of his mouth with his right hand, Michaels looked at Meng Xu, who was surrounded by his teammates in the distance to celebrate the victory. The scoring ability in the fourth quarter has always been one of the criteria for evaluating a player's key ball ability, and for many players, it is commendable enough to have a few single quarter 20+ in the fourth quarter in their entire career, but Meng Xu has at least 5 more than 20+ in the fourth quarter in the fourth quarter this season alone.

Meng Xu currently ranks first in the league's scoring list with an average score of 33.4 points per game, but unlike several other scoring players, Meng Xu's score in the fourth quarter accounts for a large proportion of the total score, averaging an astonishing 12.6 points per game, far ahead of Kobe Bryant, who averages 8.5 points per game.

"Al, we are witnessing the beginning of an era."

Thank you for the monthly pass that is difficult to name and have advanced cancer, thank you.
