Chapter 114: Crazy Meng Xu
"Terry, give me the ball later." Just after halftime, Meng Xu reached out to the team's substitute defender Terry Porter for the ball. Terry Porter used to be an All-Star player, an all-round point guard who averaged 18+8 per game at his peak, and even last season he could still contribute 10+3 data, but he never tasted the championship in his career, and joined the Spurs with a base salary for the championship ring this season.
Meng Xu did a no-ball cover with Samaki Walker, directly shook off Glen Les, who defended himself, and appeared at 45 degrees on the left side of the three-point line, at this time, Terry Porter, who was below the middle circle, had been tightly clung to Fisher, although Fisher's defense was very good, but Terry Porter was not a soft persimmon, this was a player who had met Gary Payton and Jordan who were not scared, Tripter held the ball and pushed Fisher hard, after making a move that wanted to break through, Immediately after a half-turn, he handed the ball into Meng Xu's hands very easily.
Meng Xu received Triport's pass, and after dribbling on the spot, Glen Les pounced, Meng Xu held the ball and shook slightly, and Glen Les was deceived into jumping, when Glen Les found that Meng Xu was just feint, and was about to change the center of gravity of his body to land, Meng Xu outside the three-point line had really jumped.
Glen Les, who was weak, had to watch Meng Xu throw the ball in front of him, and when Glen Les fell, he turned his head to look at the basket, and the basketball thrown by Meng Xu drew a beautiful arc and hollowed into the net.
Jim Clemens, who was off the field, also shook his head when he saw Glen Les's defense against Meng Xu, when did Glen Les's defense become so bad.
"Meng's shooting is really very much like Larry." As the best sixth man of the Celtics, Bill Wharton is very familiar with Larry Bird, Larry Bird's shooting is very weird in terms of posture and arc, Bird's jump height is very low, but the arc of the shot is very high, and this kid's shooting posture and basketball arc are exactly the same as Bird, judging from the previous game, Meng Xu's physical fitness is obviously very good, and the flat basket dunk is not a difficult thing for him, But when he shoots, he jumps so low.
"It's really very similar, Bird's shooting posture is the kind that is difficult to imitate, I don't know where Meng learned it?"
95-86, as Meng Xu hit this three-pointer, the difference between the two teams was narrowed to within 10 points.
When Fisher passed the half court with the ball, he handed over the basketball to Glen Les without the slightest hesitation, as the Lakers' three masters, when Glen Les led the bench, it was natural to occupy most of the ball, the bench lineup and the main lineup can not be compared at all, the main lineup can play a triangle offense, it does not mean that the bench lineup can also, because Kobe Bryant often leads the bench lineup, so the Lakers' bench lineup generally implements the tactics of Kobe Bryant's xjbd tactics, It's just that this game led the bench from Kobe Bryant to Glen Les.
"Glenn, what do I think of your upset feeling today?" After Meng Xu posted Glen Les, who held the ball, he immediately began to make a subtle sarcasm, as the team's third leader, he was pressed to the bench for more than 40 minutes and could only play in garbage time, and Glen Les's unhappiness was obvious.
This time, Glen Les rarely did not respond to Meng Xu, but leaned on Meng Xu with his back and observed left and right at the same time.
Seeing this, Meng Xu is also a little sympathetic to Glen Les, no matter how embarrassed he was defended in the previous game, Glen Les and Meng Xu would spray each other, today's situation, Glen Les was made by Phil Jackson and had no fighting spirit at all.
The absent-minded Glen Les turned his back to Meng Xu, and after dribbling the ball, he found that the basketball was not back in his hands, and in a blink of an eye, Meng Xu had already taken the basketball to the fast attack, and with a bang, Meng Xu moved back two points for the Spurs again with a gliding dunk.
After seeing Glen Les' performance on the court, Phil Jackson called a timeout for the first time in the fourth quarter and replaced Glen Les with Kobe, and it looked like Glen Les had no chance at all in this game.
After Kobe Bryant came on the court, after blocking Meng Xu behind him through the blocking and dismantling with AC Green, he rushed directly into the interior with the ball, the Spurs' two interior lines on the court now have no deterrent effect for Kobe, if it is the inside line of Duncan and David Robinson, Kobe Bryant will still have some scruples, Samaki Walker and Marik Cross, this kind of small shrimp, Kobe will not pay attention to it at all, after facing Marik Cross to complete a very beautiful pull-up layup in the air, Kobe Bryant walked past Meng Xu when he retreated, also deliberately provoked Meng Xu with his eyes, if trash Kobe Bryant thought that he was not Meng Xu's opponent, so Kobe Bryant basically gave up competing with Meng Xu on the tongue now.
Ignoring Kobe's provocation, Meng Xu quickly ran to the frontcourt, and the baseline ball sent by Marik Cross was directly made by Terry Porter, and he accurately found Meng Xu, who had already rushed through the halfcourt, and the Spurs launched a rare fast attack.
After receiving the ball, Meng Xu once again ran to the place where he had just hit the three points, although the Spurs' offensive speed was very fast, but Fisher still returned to the defense in time, but Fisher's height was really much worse than Meng Xu, completely ignoring the Fisher who was defending himself in front of him, Meng Xu did not hesitate at all, and jumped directly out of his hand, under the gaze of the audience, the basketball thrown by Meng Xu was still drawn a beautiful arc hollow into the net, 97 to 91, when there were less than 4 minutes left in the game, Meng Xu moved the difference between the two teams back to 6 points.
"This kid is really not soft." Meng Xu's scoring ability at critical moments really made Phil Jackson remember deeply, in the first two games, Meng Xu scored more than 15 points in the fourth quarter, and Meng Xu scored 11 points again in the fourth quarter of this game, which is a natural big heart player.
Just when Phil Jackson and Jim Clemens were still commenting on Meng Xu's ability to score at critical moments, Kobe missed the shot, Meng Xu grabbed the backcourt rebound directly on Tyrese Knight's head, and the Spurs launched a fast break again, still the position just now, or the taste just now, this time Meng Xu was close to Kobe Bryant and hit a three-pointer again.
97-94, within 2 minutes, Meng Xu scored 11 points in a row, narrowing the gap between the two teams to 3 points, and after Meng Xu hit a three-pointer, Phil Jackson immediately got up from his seat and called a timeout.
"It's crazy, two minutes ago the Lakers were still leading the Spurs by 12 points, and it seems that the Spurs, who have no hope, have ushered in a glimmer of life again with Meng Xu's efforts, and there are 3 minutes left in the game, and it looks like the game is not over." As a Meng Chui, if you don't hype Meng Xu at this time, how can you get the title of Michaels' number one Meng Chui right.
