"82 points in a single game, crazy scoring performance!"

"The Pacers beat the Knicks on the road, the greatest regular season game of the season!"

"Playing 26 minutes and scoring 82 points, Meng is the most efficient scorer in NBA history, what is his limit? 100 points per game? ”

Before the start of the game between the Pacers and the Knicks, Meng Xu has been on the cusp, the team's record has declined, and his personal data is not good. But after the game between the Pacers and the Knicks, the media throughout the United States immediately changed direction, frantically touting Meng Xu, and all kinds of fleshy and beautiful words filled the pages of the entire newspaper. Even the New York Times, which has always been black Meng Xu to the point of frenzy, chose to praise Meng Xu this time, but in the end, the New York Times still said with great envy and hatred: A remote place like Indiana and a small team like the Pacers are not worthy of a great player like Meng Xu, only New York is the most suitable place for Meng Xu, and only the great Knicks can be worthy of a great player like Meng Xu.

82 points in a single game, in the NBA, and even in the entire North American sports world, can be called a legend, such a legend in the entire history of the NBA, has only appeared twice, although Chamberlain cut a more exaggerated 100 points last time, but subject to the influence of the NBA in that era, and broadcast conditions, Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game is far less shocking than Meng Xu's 82 points in a single game yesterday, and even countless media and viewers feel very regretful, even more, Publicly blamed Larry Bird for limiting Meng Xu's playing time, otherwise with Meng Xu's state in this game, he only needed to play for more than 30 minutes, and he might be able to break Chamberlain's single-game scoring record.

Since the NBA entered the modern era, with the continuous improvement of basketball rules, and the continuous improvement of team tactics, as well as the increasing defensive intensity, it is becoming more and more difficult to score high points, and the NBA's existing single-game scoring record, except for David Robinson's 71 points in a single game, is all what fans and media call ancient times. Because of this, David Robinson's 71 points in a single game can be called the limit of individual single-game scoring in modern basketball, even if he is as strong as Jordan, his career high score is only 69 points.

And even if it's 60+ or 70+, it's not something anyone can take if they want to, how many players with super scoring ability have never scored 60+ in their entire careers, not to mention Meng Xu's 82 points in this game, so this game has been crowned by many media as the greatest, there is no problem at all, and this is not just the opinion of the American media, on February 24, almost the entire world's sports media, newspapers and publications, are full of the content of this game, and Huaguo's CCAV5, At 8 o'clock in the evening on Sunday, such a prime time, a new program called "Basketball Night Talk" was specially added temporarily, and the whole program was a full 25 minutes, all about Meng Xu, a report on this game, which is the first time in the entire history of Chinese sports.

"When I saw the technical stats for this game, I was instantly scared, oh my God, this is 82 points, this is 82 points, I can't think of anyone other than Wilt who has such a strong scoring ability, this game is going to be the greatest, most legendary game in NBA history!" When the game was not over, David Stern's secretary called David Stern for the first time, Mr. President, who had fallen asleep, immediately lost his sleepiness after hearing the secretary's report, David Stern turned on the TV to watch the rest of the game, while letting his secretary contact all the top executives of the NBA league overnight, as a businessman with a keen sense of smell, Meng Xu's 82 points in a single game is not just a record for David Stern, David Stern has clearly smelled this game, the business opportunities behind this record, and the huge opportunities that can be brought to the NBA, after convening all the senior management and holding a meeting for several hours overnight, David Stern issued a brief statement early the next morning, expressing his concern and encouragement to Meng Xu.

"Meng is a great player, he conquered Madison Square Garden, he did something here that even Michael didn't do, and there is no doubt that Meng will be the greatest star of the new century. ALTHOUGH THE NEW YORK TIMES' DISCIPLINE IS NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS BIAOZI, THEY ARE VERY CORRECT IN SAYING ONE THING, THAT IS, ONLY A METROPOLIS LIKE NEW YORK CAN BE WORTHY OF A GREAT PLAYER LIKE MENG! Bernard King, a Knicks legend who has not appeared for a long time, was pulled out by the media as soon as his single-game scoring record was broken, and Bernard King also expressed his appreciation for Meng Xu, and also regretted that he did not go to watch the game.

"Bernard is right, Meng has done something that even I have never done, if I were asked to choose a player in the current league who can surpass me in terms of achievement, I will definitely choose Meng without hesitation!" After experiencing a perfect All-Star Game, Jordan, who has begun to enjoy the game and is on a retirement tour, has no secret of his appreciation for Meng Xu, and is very excited to say that in the last game of the season between the Pacers and the Wizards, he can have a scoring duel with Meng Xu, and I hope that Meng Xu will not hide like this game with the Knicks. Jordan also said very vaguely that if Meng Xu played a little more time in this game, then Meng Xu was likely to score 90 points, or even 100 points.

Of course, in addition to the two gods of Jordan and Bernard King, even Chamberlain, Russell, Baylor, these ancient gods, have also been invited, especially Elgin Baylor, after learning that Meng Xu scored 82 points, he was also full of shock, you must know that Meng Xu only broke Elgin Baylor's single-game scoring record in the finals last season, and at the end, Baylor also said very playfully, if Meng Xu breaks Wilt Chamberlain's scoring record one day, you must notify yourself as soon as possible.

Meng Xu's 82 points in a single game made almost all the media and fans who supported Meng Xu fall into a carnival, but at this moment, the happiest is undoubtedly the top management of Nike, Nike signed Meng Xu with 3 years and 30 million US dollars, a seemingly stupid gamble, once again became a miracle in the history of Nike endorsements, a miracle comparable to signing Jordan. Since Nike launched the exclusive signature sneakers for Meng Xu, the "Odin Generation" has sold more than 2 million pairs, plus Nike launched a variety of Odin series commemorative jerseys for Meng Xu, last year alone, the global sales of the Odin series exceeded 400 million US dollars. Recently, Nike is also planning to launch the "Odin II" signature sneakers, so Meng Xu's 82 points in a single game is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Nike.

Because of the 82 points in a single game with the Pacers in the last game, public opinion and almost all eyes in the United States have focused on Meng Xu, and even the Pacers' away game against the Celtics on February 26 has become the focus of attention, and this game has also been temporarily changed to a live game in the United States, and everyone is looking forward to seeing Meng Xu's performance in this game.

After scoring 82 points in a single game this time, Meng Xu's average score per game exceeded 32 points again. came to 32.2 points, has surpassed Iverson in the scoring list, ranked second, but from the top of the list of Maddie, there is still a gap of 1.1 points, although according to common sense, with the passage of the schedule, when the regular season is about to end, Maddy's average points per game will definitely decline, but with Meng Xu's understanding of Maddie, after he scored 82 points, this guy will definitely not be outdone, in the next few games, Maddie is not to blame for not playing hard to cut points, I am afraid that even Iverson will enter the scoring mode under the stimulation of Meng Xu, and he will definitely be the target of all teams in the recent period, after all, everyone is afraid of following in the footsteps of the Knicks, if someone really cuts off 80+ or 70+ on the head, it will definitely be a shame that cannot be shaken off for decades.

For this season's scoring champion, Meng Xu has never thought of giving up, but his current state, Meng Xu also knows that before the game with the Knicks, Meng Xu's physical condition and game state are at the lowest point, and this game with the Knicks, if it weren't for the magic potion and the "pretending moment", don't say 82 points, 28 points are enough, fortunately, after this game, Meng Xu's state has recovered, and the Pacers' devil schedule will also come to an end after the game with the Celtics. There will be no back-to-back matches for half a month after this, which is good news for Meng Xu.

Soon, Meng Xu's worries became a fact, following the 45 points in the last game, Maddie scored 46 points again against the Warriors, which is Maddie's 5th 40+ in February, and now the difference between the two sides has been widened by 0.2 points. Not only Maddy, Iverson scored 53 points in a single game in the game with the Nuggets, and surpassed Meng Xu by 0.1 points in the scoring list.

"Fortunately, the Lakers have formed a Big Four this season, and Kobe Bryant has no intention of scoring the title, otherwise he will definitely have more headaches." Looking at the crazy performance of these two guys, Meng Xu is now in trouble, the Pacers are now competing with the Nets for the first place in the East, so Meng Xu has to make a balance between the team's record and personal data, the scoring champion does not want to lose, and the team's record does not want to fall, it is really difficult to choose.

On February 26, the Pacers played away against the Celtics, who are fourth in the East, and according to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Celtics basically have no chances, and in the first two games of the season, the Celtics lost to the Pacers by an average of 15 points per game. In today's game, the Celtics put almost all their defensive attention on Meng Xu, the two leading players Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce stared at Meng Xu, preferring to let others go than let Meng Xu receive the ball easily, and Meng Xu in this game, there was no such strong offensive desire against the Knicks, in this case, Meng Xu only got 8 shots in the entire first half, 3 of 8 shots, only 1 of 3 3-point shots, 4 of 5 free throws, and only 11 points, Just after the Celtics relaxed a little, Meng Xu broke out without warning in the third quarter, shooting 7 of 13 in a single quarter, 2 of 5 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and 23 points in a single quarter, the Celtics, who could barely stalemate with the Pacers in the first half, were directly collapsed in the third quarter, although they failed to cut 40+50+ like Maddie and Iverson, but Meng Xu was still in a very good mood after the game, scoring 34 points, Not only can it avoid being left behind too much by Iverson and Maddy on the scoring list, the shooting rate of 10 of 21 shots also proves that Meng Xu's state has come out of the trough after the All-Star Game, and at the same time, the state of the Pacers team has also rebounded in this game, especially Jermaine O'Neal, who only played 30 minutes in this game and scored 31 points and 22 rebounds.

After beating the Celtics on the road, the Pacers returned to Indiana, and the next four games were all at the home of the Pacers, which is definitely very advantageous for the Pacers. On February 28, the Pacers played at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Bucks can be said to have been unfavorable in the last two seasons, after Kassel joined the Bucks, Sam Cassell, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, the three who can contribute 20+ per game to the backcourt, constitute the most powerful outside firepower in the entire league, the outside three musketeers composed of them, let Milwaukee fans see the hope of the team's revival, the Bucks three musketeers once reached the Eastern Conference finals in the 0001 season, and the 76ers fought 7 games before the winner was decided, But after a brief period of brilliance, the Bucks were mired in civil strife, starting with a boss battle between Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen. Because of some special reasons, Glenn Robinson has never been an All-Star and the best team, Ray Allen, who has just entered the league, may be able to be a little brother for Glenn Robinson with peace of mind, but when Ray Allen became famous, not only was he selected as an All-Star, but also became the fifth scoring guard in the league after Kobe, Maddy, Iverson, and Carter, and Glenn Robinson now lacks enough honor and strength to continue to suppress Ray Allen, at this time Ray Allen inevitably gave birth to some other thoughts, At the same time, Ray Allen was very dissatisfied with Glenn Robinson's lazy attitude, so the Bucks inevitably fell into civil strife, and the Bucks, who reached the Eastern Conference Finals and had the second record in the East, plummeted after only one season. In order to end the team's chaos, the Bucks management sent away Glenn Robinson and corrected Ray Allen, but Ray Allen was reimbursed for the season due to injury halfway through the schedule, and the Bucks, who lost Ray Allen, only won 6 in the 8 games after the All-Star break, and the Bucks, who were originally ranked fifth in the East, have fallen to the ninth place in the East after a wave of consecutive losses.

In the face of such a fish belly, Meng Xu was full of firepower, and the three quarters of the game were not finished, only played 27 minutes, scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, because the team led the Bucks by 22 points at the end of the third quarter, because Meng Xu did not play in the entire fourth quarter, just when Meng Xu thought that he could move back to the scoring list, Maddie and Iverson gave Meng Xu a slap in the face again. In the game played on the same day, the 76ers played against the Jazz at home, Iverson shot 19 of 36 and scored 47 points, while Maddy, who was visiting Madison Square Garden, was even more crazy, with 51 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists.
