"The decisive battle is finally coming!"

Today's game between the Timberwolves and the Pacers, not only the main players on both sides played very passionately, but even the substitute players on both sides seemed to be infected, compared to the main lineup on the court, there was some caution, the group of substitute players on both sides played in the fourth quarter, there was no restraint at all, in the almost crazy shouts of the fans, the pace of the game on the court became faster and faster, and the substitute players on both sides performed equally crazy and wonderful on the court. Before you know it, the time for the official timeout in the fourth quarter has arrived, and when all the substitutes on both sides walk off the court, for the audience, in front of the TV, and all the spectators who are watching the game, the key moment that will finally decide the game is finally coming.

"In this game, as long as we win, anything other than victory, nothing else means anything to us, understand?" When head coach Rick Carlisle gathered all the players who were ready to play after the timeout and prepared to lay out the next tactics, Meng Xu first gathered them together and used loud roars to boost their morale and motivate their fighting spirit, Meng Xu is now not only the boss and tactical core of the Pacers, and now Meng Xu has taken over the position of the leader of the Pacers locker room from Reggie Miller.

"Victory! Victory! Victory...... Under the leadership of Meng Xu, Jermaine O'Neal, Nn Hilario, James Posey, and Tyshawn Prince all waved their arms and roared in unison.

83-83, with 5 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game, both the Timberwolves and the Pacers have hopes of winning this game, but for the two teams that have already killed the red eye, if they want to win this game, they need to be more crazy than their opponents, and only by suppressing each other from the momentum and tactics can they ensure that they win today's game.

After the pause, the Timberwolves, who took the lead in attacking, still focused on Garnett, and Garnett did not look for shooting opportunities in the middle and long distance as in the previous game after receiving the pass from Sprewell, but pounced directly to the basket, the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score, which is a truth that will never change, although Garnett is very confident in his mid-range shot, but at this time, there is no room for sloppiness, and every ball must ensure a 100% success rate.

"Jermaine, you can't stop me!" Looking at Jermaine O'Neal, who was stuck behind him, Garnett held the basketball while trying to find an opportunity to get rid of him. As a player from high school, Garnett actually admires Jermaine O'Neal very much, but off the field is off the field, on the field is on the field, we can be friends off the field, but on the field we must be enemies. As his body shook, Garnett, after a series of feints, began to look for an opportunity to break away from Jermaine O'Neal's defense.

"Kevin Garnett singled Jermaine O'Neal with his back, very good footwork, Garnett shook off Jermaine O'Neal, no, Jermaine O'Neal posted it again, very good defensive awareness."

"Jermaine O'Neal has a very good sense of defense, and it is not easy for Garnett to get away from his defense and find opportunities to get close to the basket." In the end, after two consecutive attempts, unable to get rid of Jermaine O'Neal's defense, Garnett could only shoot the basketball in his hand with a hook hand nearly three meters away from the basket.

"Jermaine, that's it!" Judging from the results just now, Jermaine O'Neal's defense of Garnett is obviously a failure, but the head coach of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle, is very satisfied with this, at the timeout just now, Rick Carlisle's defensive strategy for Jermaine O'Neal is not to let Garnett get close to the basket, forcing him to continue to shoot in the middle and long range, although Garnett's medium and long-range shooting is also the league's first-class level, but compared to the success rate of scoring under the basket, it is still a lot worse.

Offense and defense switched, here Garnett just hooked a shot, NN Hilario served quickly on the baseline, and Jermaine O'Neal, who received the basketball, made a direct long pass and handed the basketball to James Posey, who was already outside the three-point line.

Although the Pacers' five players on the court are all over two meters tall, none of these five players are slow-moving players, especially Meng Xu, when it comes to straight-line acceleration ability, even Allen Iverson is slightly inferior.

I don't know if it's out of tacit understanding, or if Rick Carlisle has already arranged the tactics, almost at the same time as Garnett's hook shot, Meng Xu and Prince rushed towards the Timberwolves' half, from NN Hilario to the bottom line, to Jermaine O'Neal passed the basketball to James Posey, in less than 3 seconds, Meng Xu had already run to the three-point line of the Timberwolves' half, and Prince, who was a little slower than Meng Xu, has now run through the middle circle.

After receiving the ball, James Posey did not pause at all, and directly passed the basketball towards the Timberwolves' halfcourt, and the target of the pass was naturally Meng Xu, who had reached the three-point line.

Although James Posey's pass was slightly off, but fortunately, there were no Timberwolves players around Meng Xu, and after slowing down slightly to pick up James Posey's pass, Meng Xu did not continue to speed up, but kept trotting to the Timberwolves' basket at a constant speed, put the basketball in his hand into the basket, and after Meng Xu hit a layup, Sam Cassel and Sprewell also just retreated.

"XX, you guy did it on purpose!" Watching Meng Xu slowly put the basketball into the basket, Sprewell was angry, you can attack quickly, and wait until we are almost out of defense before making a layup, this guy is really bad.

"Latril, calm down!" Before Meng Xu could react, Cassel next to Sprewell grabbed him and advised him to calm down, at this time, if Spreville had a hot brain, it would definitely not be a good thing, and it would be even more unwise if a conflict broke out because of this. Although he and Sprewell are teammates who only did this season, Cassel knows very well that Sprewell must be obsessed with Meng Xu's elbow concussion and 82 points on his head, not to mention Sprewell, even if this matter is put on his own body, Cassel will definitely not be able to let go of it for the rest of his life. But from the perspective of a bystander and a teammate, Kassel very much does not want Sprewell to play with a "revenge" mood, and in Kassel's opinion, even if Sprewell is a well-known ruthless and wicked person, but once a conflict breaks out with Meng Xu, he will not take advantage of it at all, and the resulting punishment is something that no one wants to see.

"Huh." Looking at Cassel, who had already hugged Spreville, Meng Xu smiled at him.

And after seeing Meng Xu smiling at himself, Kassel subconsciously shuddered, I don't know why Meng Xu's seemingly warm smile revealed an eerie chill in Kassel's opinion.

In fact, Meng Xu was also a little hot-headed just now, if he hadn't heard Cassel's words of persuading Sprewell to be calm, Meng Xu would definitely have to spray Sprewell's words, Sprewell's violent temper, plus the "grievances" between the two, maybe there will be a little bit of a situation.
