"Jeff, do you think the Pacers will be able to take advantage of Shaq's absence to equalize or overtake the score?" After O'Neal got off the court, the situation on the court changed the direction of the wind in an instant, the Lakers' two interior Stanislav Medvidenko and Karl Malone, were pressed to death by Mutombo and James Posey, after losing the advantage of the inside, and O'Neal's deterrence under the basket, Meng Xu could impact the Lakers' basket without hesitation, so during the period when O'Neal was off the court, it was definitely a great opportunity for the Pacers to move back to the score.

Although Meng Xu will habitually reduce the number of shots in the second and third quarters, Meng Xu's breakthrough will still cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers, especially after O'Neal is off the court, the Lakers' interior line has no deterrent effect on Meng Xu. It's just that on the Lakers' side, Kobe, Malone, and Payton are still on the court, and with the ability of the three of them, the Lakers are unlikely to have a scoring drought, so now is the time for the two sides to compete in defense and success rate. "Jeff Van Gundy was only temporarily invited to comment on this year's Finals, and neither the Lakers nor the Pacers who caused him to step down from the Knicks, he didn't like it, so Jeff Van Gundy didn't have any bias in today's commentary, and always adhered to a rational and objective commentary position, which is very similar to the usual coaching style.

"The Lakers' side mainly depends on Kobe's play, Malone is now mired in the quagmire of Mutombo's defense and can't extricate himself, although Mutombo has some difficulty defending O'Neal, but there is still no problem in defending the current Malone, and Payton's current offensive desire is not strong, most of his energy is focused on defense and organization, so although the Lakers still have three superstars on the court, but now only Kobe Bryant can be relied on, but Kobe Bryant basically didn't shoot much in the first quarter of the game, Whether they can find their touch after playing is also a question, and all in all, O'Neal's time off the court has been a very difficult few minutes for the Lakers. After Jeff Van Gundy finished speaking, Magic Johnson went on to add that looking at Magic Johnson's current expression, it seems that he is still quite worried about the Lakers.

As if to dispel Magic Johnson's worries, as soon as Magic Johnson's words fell, Kobe Bryant turned around and hit a jumper shot under Meng Xu's defense, stretching the score of the two sides to 6 points.

"It seems that Kobe's feel is still fine, but Meng Xu needs to adjust his feel." When Kobe Bryant hit the basket and it was the Pacers' turn to attack, the basketball changed hands several times, and finally returned to Meng Xu, and Meng Xu missed the shot again, seeing this situation, Jeff Van Gundy on the commentary bench joked.

"Kobe, be steady, be steady." Kobe Bryant, who held back a whole quarter in the first quarter, showed a strong desire to attack as soon as he came on the court in the second quarter, and the two consecutive offenses were completed very simply, especially in the second offense, Kobe Bryant forced a shot under Meng Xu's defense, completely ignoring Devin George, who had gotten rid of Reggie Miller behind him, although he shot two shots in a row, but Kobe Bryant was a little impatient and ignored the performance of his teammates, which still made Phil Jackson very dissatisfied.

"Meng, I don't think your luck seems to be very good today." After Kobe Bryant hit the shot, he began to "interact" with Meng Xu, ignoring Phil Jackson, who was gesturing at him on the side. Kobe Bryant's meaning of this sentence is obviously to satirize Meng Xu's shooting rate today, Meng Xu shot 4 of 9 in the first quarter, and a mid-range shot after the opening of the second quarter, and turned around twice on the basket but turned out, and the shooting rate of 4 of 10 shots is indeed a bit low for Meng Xu, whose shooting rate has been stable at more than 50% all year round.

"It's just the beginning, and I've only missed 6 balls, the next goal, do you dare to come to me to defend me! I'm going to hit you in the head. Although Meng Xu sarcastically said that the next ball would be scored on Kobe's head, Kobe Bryant did not show the slightest unhappiness, but was still a little excited, every time he met Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant could not suppress his inner mood and wanted to compete with Meng Xu. And Meng Xu just missed 6 balls, which resonated with Kobe, which is why Kobe feels that Meng Xu and himself are the same kind of people, no matter how many shots are lost in the front, I will continue to throw the next ball, there will be no hesitation and softness, if you put ordinary players, after throwing a few balls in a row, there will definitely be mental fluctuations, and some will even hesitate after receiving the ball, and dare not shoot. However, Meng Xu's next sentence made Kobe almost angry.

"Kobe, don't worry, your record of 30 irons in a single game, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up today."

In a game against the Celtics away this season, due to O'Neal's absence due to injury, Kobe Bryant made a crazy shot in that game, and finally set a record of 47 shots and 17 hits, ranking fifth in the NBA's single-game iron list with 30 iron in a single game, and Kobe Bryant was ahead of some ancient beasts, so after that, many people called Kobe Bryant the first person to play iron in modern basketball. Although Kobe Bryant didn't care about it when he was interviewed after the game, and even said, don't say that I will continue to shoot if I hit the iron 30 times, even if I hit the iron 40 times, but under the media everywhere, this incident finally became a big sore spot in Kobe's heart. Although he knew that Meng Xu was bringing up the old matter again at this time in order to deliberately stimulate himself, Kobe Bryant still couldn't control the anger in his heart.

"This bastard!" Looking at Meng Xu, who was running towards the front court quickly, Kobe Bryant followed behind and scolded hatefully, although before this game, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to ask Phil Jackson to defend Meng Xu in the game, but was rejected by Phil Jackson, on the grounds that Hamilton and Reggie Miller are also very important, and the defensive objects of Kobe Bryant in this series are the two of them, which also makes Kobe very unhappy, Devin George, that stupid melon, how can he deal with Meng Xu.

Just when Kobe Bryant followed Reggie Miller closely, running from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, and then from the left side of the court to the right side of the court, Kobe Bryant's ears rang with cheers from the audience, and looking back, the Pacers' offense was over.

In the offense just now, Meng Xu, who cut into the free throw line area, did not make any adjustments after receiving Jamal Tinsley's pass, and directly tiptoed sideways under Devin George's defense, and Devin George's idiot obviously didn't realize that Meng Xu would shoot so quickly, and without even making basic interference moves, Meng Xu's basketball had already hit the basket.

"It's really hard to interfere with." After hitting this ball easily, looking at Devin George, who looked more and more cramped under the scolding of the assistant coach, Meng Xu smiled lightly, Devin George's basic defensive skills are average, but his physical fitness is very good, his feet are also very fast, and he is not easy to eat feints, it can be said that this is a defensive player above the average level in the NBA, but his shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the straight-line acceleration ability is weak, and the reaction ability is also a little slow, In the face of Meng Xu's extremely fast shooting method, Devin George's shortcomings are definitely very fatal, but even so, Phil Jackson on the sidelines still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and does not have the slightest intention of replacing Devin George.

"Kobe, looks like I'm a little luckier than yours." When Meng Xu finally hit two shots in a row, after hearing the system prompt sound in his ears, Meng Xu, who was ecstatic, made a victory gesture at Kobe Bryant, who was defending Devin George next to him, in the Lakers' offense just now, when Kobe Bryant made a back-to-back jumper for the third time in front of Meng Xu, maybe the height of the jump was not enough, or maybe the basketball arc shot by Kobe was too low, Kobe's shot was directly covered by Meng Xu.

"Isn't it two in a row, what's so exciting, see if I'm going to put in three in a row for you to see." Looking at Meng Xu's exaggerated expression, Kobe Bryant said with a look of disdain, I just won one round of me, and I excited you like that, and when you cry, wait for you to cry.

"Two? It's naïve, take a good look! "According to the continuous hit effect of the king of mid-shot skills, as long as Meng Xu shoots two mid-range shots in a row, the continuous hit effect will be automatically activated, in this state, the probability of hitting the third ball will increase by 50%, the probability of hitting the fourth ball will increase by 40%, the probability of hitting the fifth ball will increase by 30%, and so on, under this large increase in probability, the chance of at least hitting 5 balls in a row is very large, if you are lucky, it is possible to hit 6 balls in a row, or even 7 balls.

"Meng Xu jumped and shot from mid-distance, beautiful, this is the third time Meng Xu has hit in a row."

"Meng Xu broke through with the ball, successfully shook off Devin George's defense, and made a beautiful mid-range pull-up jump shot."

。。。。。。

"Kobe Bryant hit again, this is the third shot he hit in a row, and Meng Xu has now hit five shots in a row, which is crazy! Kobe Bryant and Meng Xu were on the bar at the beginning of the second quarter! In Michaels' chanting, the atmosphere at the scene also became feverish, what else can make the fans on the scene boil more than Meng Xu and Kobe, the "anser-ball" of one goal and one goal!

"The probability of the next goal increasing is only 20 per cent, but there is still a lot of hope." After Kobe Bryant really didn't break his promise, and after 3 consecutive offenses were against himself, Meng Xu, who received a pass from Jamal Tinsley, is now a little under pressure, although it is only the second quarter, even if he misses the shot, it doesn't matter, but under the ardent expectations of the fans in the audience, it is also a very shameless thing to really lose. At the same time, after Meng Xu hit 5 goals in a row, Kobe Bryant also switched defenses with Devin George to defend Meng Xu personally, and it is obvious that Meng Xu's current performance has greatly stimulated Kobe.

"Oh, cake seller, Meng Xu shot again, this is the sixth mid-range shot he hit in a row after the start of the second quarter, and the difference between the two sides has now been narrowed to 4 points!"

"Meng Xu hit again, this is the sixth shot he has hit in a row, this kind of scoring explosiveness, it's incredible!" After Meng Xu hit the sixth shot again, the entire banker's life arena immediately boiled, and several commentators of the game, Michaels, Jeff Van Gundy, and Magic Johnson, all stood up excitedly, especially Michaels was already excited and incoherent.

"Now it's up to Kobe to see if he can return the color!" After Meng Xu hit six shots in a row, Kobe, who had hit three shots in a row, became the focus of the whole court, and even the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, stood up from the bench and walked to the sidelines. Not only the scene, but even many viewers in front of the TV were looking forward to Kobe Bryant's goal and continuing this wonderful duel between the two sides.

"Payton taught the ball directly to Kobe, excellent defensive prediction, Meng Xu successfully blocked Kobe's breakthrough route."

"Kobe failed to break through Meng Xu's blockade, Kobe forced to turn around and shoot 3 points, but it was a pity that he failed to hit, and Kobe's fourth attack was broken."

"Meng Xu hit again, hitting seven shots in a row, and the difference between the two sides is only two points, which is really terrifying, maybe Phil Jackson needs to call a timeout, change the game strategy, and wrap Meng Xu."

"If Meng Xu can keep this feeling in this game, I'm afraid the Lakers won't be able to take away a victory from here! In the next game, the Lakers need to wrap up Meng Xu, and they can't let him shoot so easily. ”

"If the Pacers can have a playmaker who has better vision and passing, I'm afraid 。。。。。。" As a head coach, Jeff Van Gundy and Michaels have completely different concerns, although they have always disliked Meng Xu, but at this time Jeff Van Gundy is really a little impressed by Meng Xu's strength, if possible, Jeff Van Gundy also hopes that one day he can coach such a player.

Although the Lakers are still 2 points ahead of the Pacers so far, according to the situation on the court, the Pacers may equalize or even overtake the score at any time, so Phil Jackson on the sidelines finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout in advance when there were 3 minutes left before the official timeout.

"It's really a miracle!" With the uniform "MVP" sound of the audience, Meng Xu, who walked off the court, took the towel handed over by head coach Larry Bird, and whispered with satisfaction while wiping the sweat on his head. hit 7 goals in a row, and in the first game, he used this skill to hit 7 goals in a row, you must know that in Meng Xu's four-year career, in addition to opening the "pretending moment", he has never hit 7 shots in a row.
