"Jamal, good job." When the official timeout came in the fourth quarter, Meng Xu stood on the sidelines and handed a towel to Jermaine O'Neal and Jamal Tinsley, and patted Jamal Tinsley on the shoulder, in the Pacers, no matter which player, whether it is the main force or the bench, as long as he plays well on the court and works hard defensively, when he gets off the court, as long as Meng Xu is on the sidelines, Meng Xu, as the boss of the team, will hand them towels and drinks as a reward for their outstanding performance, And Meng Xu's behavior is also called the "most undignified" boss by people who don't know what's going on, you must know that handing towels and taking drinks is generally the full-time job of those who have been substituted for 10,000 years and the guardians of water coolers. Meng Xu didn't care about this kind of "ridicule" from some media, because it turned out that Meng Xu's approach not only deepened the relationship with his teammates, but also really improved the morale of those role players.

The game between the Pacers and the Nets, in addition to playing 12 minutes in the first quarter, in the later games, Meng Xu did not play for a total of 10 minutes, purely soy sauce for most of the half, Jamal Tinsley in the first quarter, after re-establishing the confidence to fight against Kidd, in the later games, he was getting more and more energetic, and even in a certain period of the third quarter, Kidd could not suppress him completely, this game Jamal Tinsley played 32 minutes, contributed 22 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds, It was the best performance of the season.

Compared with Jamal Tinsley's highlight performance, Jermaine O'Neal, who was the Pacers' main attack point for the first time this season, also performed very well in this game, facing his old rival Sure Martin, Jermaine O'Neal shot 11 of 17, 12 of 16 free throws, cut 34 points, 16 rebounds, 5 blocks, with Lorenzen White as a helper, Jermaine O'Neal beat up Sure Martin in this game.

"Meng, Jermaine and Jamal are done, it's time for you to get out there and finish the game." Taking advantage of the moment of rest, Larry Bird walked to Meng Xu's side, without the slightest tactical arrangement, nor any game strategy, Larry Bird directly patted Meng Xu's back and returned to his seat.

Due to the outstanding performance of Jermaine O'Neal and Lorenzen White, the Pacers, who once trailed by more than 10 points in the first quarter, overtook the score before halftime, so in this game, Meng Xu paddled the whole way, played 21 minutes, shot 2 of 4, only got 5 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, if this game ends like this, then Meng Xu's record of scoring double-doubles in 61 consecutive games this season will also come to an end.

"Alright guys, win this game and we'll be number one in the East." I have to say that Meng Xu is very satisfied with today's game, although he didn't play much, but this effect is what Meng Xu has always wanted, the more powerful his teammates are, the easier he is, and the more tactical options the team has. When he was in the Spurs, because there were Duncan in the team, David Robinson and so on, so most of the games, Meng Xu was lying to win, and when Meng Xu had the ability to control the field, Meng Xu's heart was unwilling, hoping that he could be like Duncan, becoming the key to the team's victory, but when it really came to the Pacers and carried the whole team, Meng Xu missed the feeling of lying down and winning in the Spurs, sometimes people are so strange.

"Victory, Victory。。。。。。" Several players who were about to play put their hands together, shouted a few words in unison, and then stepped onto the court under the leadership of Meng Xu. The game restarted, and Meng Xu took the court with a mix of James Posey, Bobby Simmons, Jeff Foster, and Ron Mercer's main substitutes. Jermaine O'Neal, Lorenzen White and Jamal Tinsley, who didn't have much rest in the previous games, are now resting on the sidelines.

83-85, when Meng Xu returned to the court, the Pacers still had a 2-point lead. This game is a crucial game for both the Nets and the Pacers, so the remaining six minutes of the fourth quarter are the final battle moment for the players on the court.

"Jerry, it's all over." Meng Xu dribbled the ball in the backcourt and looked at Kidd not far from him with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, it's not too late to talk big when you win." Today's game has been played so far, Kidd is also on fire, the rookie who was ravaged in the past suddenly went crazy today, and once made himself disgraced, which made Kidd, who was bent on beating Meng Xu and the Pacers to establish his advantage in the MVP rankings, also angry. However, although the score is behind, he and the Nets still have a chance, the whole game, Meng Xu didn't shoot much, Kidd didn't believe it, Meng Xu, who didn't have his hands moving, could take over the game as soon as he got on the court, as long as he could hit a few irons first, then the Nets would definitely be able to overtake the score.

"Haha, Jason, then you can watch my performance." Looking at Kidd with an unhappy face, Meng Xu's mood is better, the significance of this game to Kidd, Meng Xu is very clear, last season's 26 wins, 56 losses ranked 12th in the East Nets, under the leadership of Kidd, this season jumped to the first place in the East, so in this season's regular season MVP selection, Kidd's voice is very high, similar to the situation of the Nets, the Pacers, who were eighth in the East last season, not only did not sink as expected by the media after exchanging Meng Xu for the main force of the half team, but became a powerhouse in the East, the record is equal to the Nets, so Meng Xu has become one of Kidd's biggest competitors.

"Damn." Although the Pacers did not send all the main forces, but Kidd did not dare to slack off, although in Kidd's opinion, Meng Xu is very arrogant, his mouth is very poisonous, and even a little smelly, but he does have the ability to be arrogant, as the player who ranks first in the scoring list this season, as long as Meng Xu is on the court, no matter which team, he will not take him lightly.

Meng Xu slowly advanced with the ball, Kidd did not defend Meng Xu like he did to force Jamal Tinsley, but slowly retreated to the top of the arc and then defended Bobby Simmons, Keith Van Horn replaced Kidd and went to defend Meng Xu. The Nets' current defensive strategy against Meng Xu is also based on defensive breakthroughs, although Meng Xu's mid-range shooting is very good, but he didn't shoot much in this game, so he doesn't have to press too Meng Xu's defense, and Keith Van Horn also occupies a big advantage in height, and after Meng Xu exposes his intention to shoot, it's not too late to stick the defensive block.

Similar to what the Nets expected, Meng Xu, who was standing not far from the top of the arc, did not mean to soar by 3 points as soon as he came up, but stared at Keith Van Houen, who was half a step away from him, while directing his teammates to run.

After all his teammates pulled away, Meng Xu started, first lowered his shoulders to the left, and after making the intention of moving laterally to the left, he quickly pulled up his body and moved to the right.

"Meng really dares to vote." Watching Meng Xu dangling around, and finally after a 3-point shot, Michaels was also very surprised, after shaking off Keith Van Horn, Meng Xu could take advantage of the situation to get the basket, with Meng Xu's breakthrough, a proper two points, but Meng Xu still chose 3 points, not thinking about how long he hadn't made a shot.

"Hahaha, Al, this is Meng, no matter when, he is so decisive." Unlike Michaels, after seeing Meng Xu's almost crazy behavior, Magic Johnson looked forward to it, because Meng Xu hadn't scored wantonly for a long time.
