Chapter 585: The First Step of the Dynasty

"This, this, this... It can still hit! ”

Looking at Meng Xu, who was defended by Antoine Walker and Michael Finley, was more than a meter away from the three-point line, and then stepped back very simply and jumped up to shoot directly at three points, the old Nelson standing on the sidelines had only one feeling at the moment, that is, he was stabbed in the heart by a dagger.

At the time of the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks still had a 1-point lead, and the old Nelson was expecting this official timeout to disrupt Meng Xu's feelings, but in less than 40 seconds after the official timeout, Meng Xu hit two 3-pointers in a row again to help the Pacers overtake the score.

But old Nelson's arrangement is still to no avail, Meng Xu, who met the bag and passed the ball for most of the game, seems to have recovered his true face as a "cancer", under the double bag of Antoine Walker and Michael Finley, he still has no scruples, and uses his stunt to step back and pull out the jump shot, and shot more than a meter outside the three-point line again and again, although under the interference of Antoine Walker and Michael Finley, Meng Xu's shooting rate has decreased, There is no accurate head in the first few minutes, but the three-point shooting rate of 3 of 5 shots can also be described as feeling hot, plus the four 3-pointers that Meng Xu hit before and after the official timeout, in less than 5 minutes, Meng Xu shot 9 times and hit 7 three-pointers, such a strong scoring explosiveness can no longer be described as terrifying.

"Strong, it's too strong, Meng Xu's scoring explosiveness is too strong, as long as he wants to score, he can't stop him!"

When Meng Xu hit another three-point shot under the bag of Michael Finley and Antoine Walker, in the deafening cheers of the Bankers' Life Arena, Michaels in the commentary box stood up directly, applauding and roaring loudly. Today's game, from the beginning of the game to the first 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, belongs to the head coach of both sides, Rick Carlisle and old Nelson, the two top coaches of the old and the young fighting each other in the game, but since then this game has become a stage for Meng Xu to perform alone, no matter how the old Nelson changes, how to arrange, and even used the only two timeouts left by the Mavericks in advance, there is no way to stop Meng Xu's scoring performance, Meng Xu, who only scored 10 points in the first 40 minutes of the game, In less than five minutes, he scored 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting.

"It seems that Tang still underestimated Meng Xu's scoring ability a little." Compared with Michaels, who has been excited about the gaffe, Magic Johnson is a little calmer, as an expert, after watching this game, Magic Johnson has a clear idea of the old Nelson's plans in this game, using high-intensity bag defense to make Meng Xu never find the shooting touch, and then relax the defense of Meng Xu at the last moment of the game, let Meng Xu score, under normal circumstances, Meng Xu will definitely need time to find the feel, but at this time there is no time for Meng Xu to find the feelIn this case, maybe the result of this game will also affect Meng Xu's mentality, resulting in Meng Xu's abnormal performance in the later games, I have to say that the old Nelson's plan is really good, and the average player and team must be on the road of the old Nelson, but the old Nelson obviously miscalculated this time, because the object he wants to hunt today is Meng Xu.

After the old Nelson's wishful thinking miscalculation, now all the pressure has come to the side of the Mavericks, the score is behind, and there is no pause, plus because the blockade of Meng Xu has never been effective, the current Mavericks don't want to reverse the situation on the field, it is already very good if it does not collapse suddenly.

"Steve! Dirk! After it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, the old Nelson yelled at Steve Nash, who was dribbling, and Dirk Nowitzki, who was trotting towards the frontcourt, and made a gesture that only Mavericks players could read, and the old Nelson, who had no timeout, could only use this method to make changes to the command team, although the Mavericks are now 7 points behind the Pacers, but there are nearly 3 minutes left before the end of the game, so the old Nelson is not willing to give up.

After nodding at Nelson Sr., Nash immediately picked up his speed, and Nash, who had completed the block with Nowitzki in a very short time, took Jermaine O'Neal, who had switched his defense, and ran sideways to the right side of the court laterally, then passed the basketball in his hand to Nowitzki at the top of the arc, and he ran directly to the bottom corner on the right.

While Nowitzki was holding the ball and playing Meng Xu alone, the remaining Mavericks players, except for Sean Bradley, were all outside the three-point line, and it seemed that the gesture that the old Nelson had just made to Nash was probably trying to use three-point tactics to steal points.

As a big man with a height of more than 2.10 meters, Nowitzki also has a very good three-point shot, and has participated in the All-Star three-point contest for many years, although he has not yet won the championship, but he has also achieved very good results, and Nash shot at the three-point line after blocking and dismantling, which is also one of the offensive tactics formulated by the Mavericks for Nowitzki, but after entering the playoffs, I don't know why, Nowitzki rarely shoots outside the three-point line. However, this time offensively, Nowitzki, who received instructions from the head coach, jumped up directly after glancing at Meng Xu, who was defending him in front of him.

As a white player whose physical fitness is not too outstanding, Nowitzki can't compare with Jermaine O'Neal and Kevin Garnett in terms of jumping, plus because Meng Xu's height is too different from Nowitzki, so this time, Nowitz basically wanted to save some physical strength, and didn't do his best to jump to the highest, but soon, Nowitzki regretted why he didn't jump a little higher just now.

Just when Nowitzki jumped up and made a gesture of shooting, ready to throw the basketball in his hand, he saw Meng Xu in front of him, stretching out his hands and rubbing it and jumping up, not only the speed of the bullet was extremely fast, but also the height of Meng Xu after jumping was half a head higher than Nowitzki.

"Beautiful block, Meng Xu's bounce, judgment and confrontation in the air are so strong, it's really hard to imagine that Meng Xu actually successfully blocked Dirk Nowitzki's jump shot!"

Covered the basketball in Nowitzki's hand, and after landing, Meng Xu ran all the way towards the Mavericks' halfcourt, bent over, pointed a little, and the basketball that was still rolling on the ground rebounded into the air, without the slightest slowdown, Meng Xu picked up the basketball on the ground.

When Meng Xu used a 180-degree backhand dunk in the air to end this counterattack, the entire Banker's Life Arena immediately fell into madness.

"Mavericks don't have a chance!" Looking at Dirk Nowitzki, who looked frustrated after being blocked by Meng Xu, and Shaun Bradley, who stood in the backcourt with his hands crossed, and Michael Finley, who bit his lip fiercely, Magic Johnson knew that there was no possibility of reversal for the Mavericks in this game.

At the end of the game, the score was finally fixed at 108-117, and the Pacers won the first game of the Finals by 9 points, taking a solid first step on their dynasty road.
