Meng Xu and James, one is the first person in the league in the past, and the other is the first person in the league now, with the addition of James's identity as "Meng Xu's successor", so after Meng Xu's comeback this time, many people are looking forward to this showdown between Meng Xu and James.

As for the question of which is stronger or weaker between Meng Xu and James, the mainstream public opinion in the United States has already reached a consensus, if it was four years ago, someone asked Meng Xu and James who is stronger? The answer must be that Meng Xu is stronger, and now it's just the opposite, just won the finals MVP, and in the four years after Meng Xu retired, James, who won three regular season MVPs, is at the peak of his career, compared to James, Meng Xu is undoubtedly "old".

So for many viewers who care about this game, the duel between Meng Xu and James is undoubtedly a game on behalf of Meng Xu handing over the scepter to James, Meng Xu was stronger than James four years ago, but now it is completely the opposite, he is 32 years old, all physical functions have begun to decline, and Meng Xu, who has not been in contact with professional games for four years, cannot be as good as James in the middle of the day.

Of course, there are also a handful of Meng Xu's die-hard fans, who still firmly support Meng Xu, and look forward to Meng Xu regaining his own crown in his heart!

So in today's game, the protagonists are undoubtedly Meng Xu and James, and when James changed to play the No. 3 position in the second half of the first quarter of the game and began to play against Meng Xu, the atmosphere at the American Airlines Arena became more and more high, especially after Meng Xu showed a state that was not inferior to James's game at all, and the audience at the scene shouted Meng Xu's name frantically.

"LeBron got the ball outside the three-point line on the left side, LeBron leaned sideways on Meng Xu, did he want to single Meng Xu with his back?"

"Huh? LeBron can't stand up to Meng Xu? Turning, very good defensive prediction, Meng Xu successfully blocked LeBron's breakthrough route. ”

"LeBron, why don't you make a move? Haven't you practiced three points yet? In fact, after James completed the turn just now, he had all the space and opportunity to make a shot, but James did not make a shot, but chose to take a little back half a step and continue to look for opportunities.

James, who was said by Meng Xu with a red face, didn't know how to refute Meng Xu, when Meng Xu had not retired, Meng Xu had been "mocking" James's three points in the game, and privately persuaded James to practice his three points, but to this day, James's three-point ability is still average, and James's three-point shooting rate reached a career-high 36% last season. However, the average number of shots per game is a record low of 2.4, and the average of less than one three-pointer per game is basically not a big vacancy, and James will not shoot.

As the first person in the league now, the best player in the active service, James is extremely confident, and conceited, since James entered the league, only a few players can suppress him, and with the continuous growth of James, there are fewer and fewer people who can suppress James at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, after Meng Xu retired, James really experienced the feeling of the sea and the sky is high, especially after winning the championship last season, James can feel it, His personal strength has stood at the peak of the NBA, so James is looking forward to Meng Xu's comeback and desperately wants to beat Meng Xu, but in the first game after Meng Xu's comeback, James found that he was suppressed by Meng Xu, just like in five or six years, James can feel that there is an invisible net that nets himself, which makes James very uncomfortable.

"LeBron actually passed the ball?" After James tried to break through again and was blocked by Meng Xu, James gave up the plan to single Meng Xu, but passed the basketball to Chris Bosh, who had been pulled to the top of the arc, James gave up the single Meng Xu and passed the basketball to teammates with better chances, there is no problem in terms of tactics, but in the eyes of the audience, this is an incomprehensible thing, strong dialogue, the duel between supergiants, but the scene that can attract the audience the most, but when James is one-on-one with Meng Xu, It's unreasonable to choose to pass the ball to your teammates!

Although Chris Bosh, who received James' pass, assisted Ray Allen to hit a three-pointer, the fans at the scene were still very dissatisfied with James's passing just now, because what they wanted to see was the duel between James and Meng Xu, a battle between a former king and the current king, rather than a role player's scene-stealing.

Therefore, after the switch of offense and defense, those spectators who were dissatisfied with James echoed the spectators who supported Meng Xu, and after Meng Xu received the ball, they shouted the MVP slogan in unison, with the voice of "defense, defense" on one side, and the chanting of "MVP, MVP" on the other.

Unlike James, Meng Xu did not disappoint the audience this time, after Meng Xu held the ball, facing James who was closely guarding himself, Meng Xu hit a three-point shot after a series of true and false actions.

"This is Meng Xu's signature step-back dry pull-up jumper, the body is still so stretched, and the movements are still so beautiful!"

"The biggest gap between LeBron and Meng Xu is undoubtedly the three-point ability."

After Meng Xu's three-point shot, Barkley on the commentary bench began to complain about James's three-point ability, but James, who was playing on the court, couldn't hear Barkley's complaints, for Meng Xu's step-back three-point, LeBron was really powerless, his arm span was so long, the bounce was so good, he jumped so high, and the shooting range was so high, James didn't believe that Meng Xu's shooting would be interfered with, James didn't imitate Meng Xu's shooting posture, but unfortunately, James couldn't learn it at all.

Just after hitting three points, Meng Xu raised his right hand to signal to the audience, Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned, after Meng Xu joined, the Spurs' original tactical system will be disrupted, Popovich has already been prepared, Meng Xu's singles may be a lot, Popovich is also very clear, but when Meng Xu turned on the singles mode, Popovich still felt a little unhappy, Popovich likes the kind of player who has the courage to take responsibility and never relents at critical moments, But Popovich prefers the feeling of having everything in his hands, and singles outside of tactics are, for Popovich, undoubtedly out of his own hands.

"Lack of cleanup." Seeing Meng Xu make a grimace at himself when he retired and passed the bench, Popovich's wrinkled face immediately dispersed, to be honest, Meng Xu had made a lot of sacrifices in order to integrate into the Spurs' tactical system, so Popovich couldn't make more demands on Meng Xu.

After seeing Popovich smiling and scolding himself, Meng Xu, who was still a little worried, completely put his mind at ease, since Tim Duncan slipped from the top, Popovich's tolerance for brainless singles has become lower and lower, so Meng Xu also wants to know how Popovich will react after his brainless singles.
