In this game between the Heat and the Pacers, the Pacers have comprehensively suppressed the Heat from the beginning, even though the Heat relied on O'Neal's outburst in the third quarter to fight back, but at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers still led the Heat by 9 points 80-71, and this result also led to the home team fans of the American Airlines Arena and the media reporters who were waiting to see the Pacers' jokes, and now they are unusually low-key.

After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat still sent most of the main players, you must know that in the first three quarters of the game, O'Neal almost did not rest, in this case, if O'Neal played the entire fourth quarter is obviously a little unrealistic, but this seemingly unrealistic thing is happening right now. O'Neal's physical fitness is definitely top in the current NBA, but O'Neal is 31 years old this year, and it is difficult for a big man like O'Neal to play more than 40 minutes in a high-intensity game state and maintain excellent game condition, in fact, since the beginning of the 99-00 season, O'Neal's playing time has begun to decline year by year, and O'Neal only played 61 games in the regular season last season, and his average playing time was only 35 minutes per game. But now, O'Neal has to continue to play when he has played more than 30 minutes, because the current Heat, whether on the offensive end or on the defensive end, is highly dependent on O'Neal, and the Heat with O'Neal is still pressed under the Pacers and cannot move, let alone the Heat without O'Neal.

On the Pacers' side, because the Pacers always have an advantage on the court, and because the team has a big lead, the head coach of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle, is now also with a winning expression. Although the Pacers' two bench interior lines have never been able to prevent O'Neal, Rick Carlisle does not have too much worry now, after all, the Heat only has one O'Neal, and judging from O'Neal's consumption in the third quarter of the game, it is difficult for him to hold out until the end of the game, so even if the Heat can continue to narrow some points now, as long as the Pacers' main force reappears, then the collapse of the Heat is just around the corner.

Although the Pacers are now all bench players, but with the continuous decline of O'Neal's physical strength, the Heat has gradually begun to relax on the defensive end, although O'Neal can still continue to score, but correspondingly, after the defensive intensity has dropped significantly, the Heat also can't prevent the Pacers from playing a few old ruffians on the court, I have to say that Rick Carlisle signed these veterans this summer, the strength is still very strong, if you count their annual salary of only more than 1 million US dollars, No matter how you look at it, these signings are great value.

"The Heat are really dangerous, they have to have someone to step up and help Shaq now, whether it's Eddie Jones or Dwyane Wade, they have to have someone to step up and take some of the pressure off for Shaq now!" When the fourth quarter of the game began, no matter how strong O'Neal was, there would always be someone on the Pacers' side who would shoot back after O'Neal scored, so that the Heat could never narrow the gap between the two sides to within 5 points, and Michaels on the commentary bench was already very anxious. If it continues like this, the Heat will not talk about a comeback, and even the hope of approaching the score is very slim, the current Heat has too many problems, but the 14-game winning streak at the beginning has covered all this, and the Heat's group of players are obviously a little lost in the continuous praise of the outside world.

"Maybe a loss isn't a bad thing for the Heat and Shaq!" With the whistle of the official pause in the fourth quarter, 93-77, looking at O'Neal, who was already panting and sweating when he got off the court, Magic Johnson no longer had any hope for the Heat, Meng Xu's dominance in this game is obvious to all, even as strong as O'Neal, when Meng Xu is on the court, the offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced, and O'Neal's current teammates are far less powerful than Meng Xu's teammates, so although this game will not end in 6 minutes, But Magic Johnson can already imagine what it will be like when all the Pacers' main players come on the court.

"I'm going to beat you in this fight, I'm going to beat you!" After a short break, O'Neill, who had reappeared, had red eyes and yelled at Meng Xu with a hideous face after seeing Meng Xu pass by him.

"Shaq, resign yourself to fate, you can't beat me now, unless you can find a teammate like Kobe Bryant again." Meng Xu did not react to O'Neill's provocation and roar, in Meng Xu's opinion, this was just a manifestation of O'Neill's unwilling defeat and the final dying struggle.

"Nonsense!" As soon as he heard Meng Xu mention Kobe, O'Neal instantly became angry, in O'Neal's current world, the name Kobe-Bryant has become a taboo, O'Neal's teammates basically dare not mention Kobe in front of O'Neal, even if they mention Kobe, they will use a little bastard or a white-eyed wolf like O'Neal to replace Kobe's name, not to mention what Meng Xu said just now, in O'Neal's opinion, he is completely sarcastic.

"Then we'll see!" Ignoring O'Neal's roar, Meng Xu walked directly towards the Pacers' halfcourt, I don't know why, Meng Xu, who used to like to quarrel with opposing players on the court very much, has no interest in "fighting" with them no matter who he meets in the recent period.

"Damn, this bastard is so arrogant." Looking at Meng Xu's back, O'Neal gritted his teeth and said, but after the anger, O'Neal had to face the reality, that is, the current Heat really does not have a player like Kobe to share the pressure for himself, let alone compete with himself for the ball at the critical moment of the game.

"Now it's finally time for Meng Xu's performance." Although Michaels basically has little hope for the Heat to reverse the Pacers, but when the main players of both sides reappeared, Michaels's interest still unconsciously improved a lot, compared with last season, Meng Xu's style of play this season has changed, according to the words of those basketball bricks, that is, Meng Xu has moved from youth to maturity, compared to last season's scoring maniac, super scorer, Meng Xu, who changed to play organizational guard, has made more shots this season from an average of 23 shots per game last season, has decreased by 16.5 times this season, and the average points per game have dropped to less than 30 points, but Meng Xu's average rebounds per game, and assists per game, and even the average blocks per game data have increased significantly, although Meng Xu's style of play has changed, but Meng Xu has a habit that has always existed, that is, as long as the game enters the fourth quarter and the two sides have not yet decided the winner, then Meng Xu will definitely stand up and take over the game, and this game, although the Heat has no hope of winning, but someone still needs to kick the last kick in the Heat's ass, there is no doubt that this person must be Meng Xu.

"It's over." As Michaels said, after returning to the court, Meng Xu no longer continued to pass the ball to his teammates, but chose to take over the game, after a sufficient rest, Meng Xu took over the game, without any adjustment at all, and showed an excellent hand, and at the same time, on the defensive end, due to sufficient physical strength, Meng Xu still maintained a high-intensity defense, and blocked O'Neal and Eddie Jones' shots for two consecutive rounds, when Meng Xu completed the steal in the hands of Damon Jones, the fast attack was successful, with a wave of 8-0 attack waveAfter widening the difference between the two sides to 15 points, today's game can basically be declared over.

112-96, the Pacers shouted loudly at the Heat, and after defeating the Heat, the Pacers increased their winning streak to 15 wins, and deservedly continued to rank first in the East.

"What a pity!" When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Michaels, who had obtained the technical statistics of the game, suddenly shook his head and had a regretful expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Magic Johnson, who has sorted things out, after hearing Michaels' lamentation, snatched the technical statistics sheet in Michaels' hand, after seeing Meng Xu's data, Magic Johnson also shook his head, 11 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 3-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 31 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds, 7 steals, 8 blocks, this should be the closest to a five-double since the NBA has complete technical statistics, but it's a pity, Meng Xu went off the break when there were more than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, otherwise Meng Xu might really hit the data of five doubles today, at least four doubles are very likely, if you count the quasi-four doubles when Meng Xu played against the Lakers, this is already the second time Meng Xu has missed a quadruple double in his career in the NBA.

"It's definitely a great game!" Although the process of this game is not exciting at all, but with the data that Meng Xu got today, today's game can already be described as great.

And when Magic Johnson shouted Meng Xu's data in this game to all the fans in the American Airlines Arena through the microphone, the bursts of boos at the American Airlines Center stopped abruptly, and those disappointed reporters showed an unbelievable expression on their faces, and soon, after a short silence, the American Airlines Arena erupted into bursts of applause, which went without saying that these applause were given to Meng Xu.

And O'Neal, who had already walked to the sidelines, became even more ugly after hearing the applause around him, because O'Neill knew that his team's home stadium was now conquered by his biggest enemy!
