"Meng, you just need to lock up Rick Fox on the defensive end, and you don't have to think about the rest."

When the game between the Pacers and the Lakers began, the two teams directly entered the white-hot stalemate, and the Pacers had no way to stop O'Neal from wreaking havoc under the basket. And on the Lakers' side, Rick Fox also took Meng Xu without the slightest way, relying on excellent back-to-back singles, and a 45-degree angle shooting with a super high shooting rate, this game from the beginning, it entered the anser-ball between Meng Xu and O'Neal, and the other players on the court were all reduced to spectators, in the first half of the first quarter, the Lakers and the Pacers each shot 11 times, and Meng Xu and O'Neal each occupied 8 of them, O'Neal shot 5 of 8, free throws 2 of 3, got 12 points and 6 rebounds in half a quarter, and Meng Xu also shot 5 of 8 and 1 of 1 3-pointers, and got 11 points and 4 rebounds.

Compared with O'Neal, who puts most of his energy on the offensive end, Meng Xu not only has to fight against O'Neal on the offensive end, but also defends Rick Fox on the defensive end, and by the way, he makes up for Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal, especially Robert Hawley, basically as long as Holly has a vacancy, Meng Xu, who is near Hawley, will immediately leave Rick Fox to make up for Robert Hawley, Meng Xu's obsession with Robert Hawley makes Larry Bird a little unbearable, so in the first quarter of the official timeout, Larry Bird kept instructing Meng Xu to let him save some physical strength, even if he let go of Holly. And unlike Meng Xu, who has always believed that Hawley is a big threat, Larry Bird has always felt that in the Lakers' tactical system, Rick Fox is far more threatening and important than Robert Hawley. In the Lakers' current triangle offensive tactics, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant play the roles of finishers and responders, while Rick Fox is the axis connecting the two people, as for Robert Hawley, he is basically a player who is free from the triangle offense, and like Fisher, he belongs to the role of letting the other party blow up at will.

"Lorenzen, you did a very good job in the previous game, and you Jermaine, you have to be decisive when you are trapping, as long as the big fat man catches the ball, you immediately go to wrap him." Although the team's two interior linemen Lorenten White and Jermaine O'Neal teamed up to be blown up by O'Neal, but Larry Bird did not blame them at all, but encouraged them for a while, although the league's current rules allow the off-ball players to be clamped in advance, but Larry Bird is not ready to pack O'Neal without the ball, which is equivalent to isolating O'Neal from the Lakers' tactical system, without O'Neal, Kobe Bryant has more room to play, Larry Bird allowed Kobe Bryant and Meng Xu to score points, 30 points, 40 points, no problem, but it is absolutely impossible to give Kobe a chance to replace O'Neal as the tactical core of the Lakers.

"Yes, Jermaine, there's nothing to be afraid of that big fat man, don't worry about it, I risked him a few times in my rookie season, and I didn't see what he did to me, and this guy just looks fierce, and even Barkley can't do it." After Larry Bird comforted Jermaine O'Neal, Meng Xu also spoke, constantly exposing O'Neal's shortcomings and troubles, wanting to make Jermaine O'Neal's mentality relax a little, and in the previous game, Jermaine O'Neal was obviously a little tense.

"yes, I see." After nodding at Meng Xu and Larry Bird, Jermaine O'Neal picked up the towel and continued to wipe the sweat on his head, at this moment Jermaine O'Neal was also very depressed, compared to the regular season, the big fat man on the opposite side was obviously at least half a level stronger, dropped the towel in his hand, stood up from the bench and was ready to play, looking at Shaq O'Neal who was holding his arm high not far away, greeting the audience, and showing his muscles, Jermaine felt very unhappy, This big fat man is too arrogant.

"Boy, this is my territory, as long as I'm still on the field, you won't be allowed to go wild here, absolutely not." When the players from both sides stood on the court again, O'Neal, who was standing not far from Meng Xu, pointed to the floor of the Staples Center and looked at Meng Xu with a proud face, and at the same time, O'Neal deliberately raised his voice, wanting Kobe Bryant behind him to hear his words. In O'Neal's heart, he has always regarded Kobe as his little brother, as Kobe Bryant's strength is getting stronger and stronger, O'Neal was once very happy, but this season, O'Neal suddenly found that his little brother had already shown signs of disobedience, which made O'Neal very embarrassed, but O'Neal did not directly have a showdown with Kobe, but warned Kobe Bryant in a roundabout way, hoping that Kobe could put away those careful thoughts and be his little brother with peace of mind.

"Fatty, I've never seen you as my opponent, because in my opinion, there is only one person in the entire Lakers who deserves to be my opponent, and that is Kobe Bryant." Meng Xu calmly pointed to Kobe Bryant behind O'Neal, but at this moment, Meng Xu's heart was already happy, because when his words were not finished, Meng Xu could clearly see the colorful expressions on the faces of O'Neal and Kobe, O'Neal was angry, it was the kind of anger that was despised and betrayed, because when O'Neal looked back at Kobe, he found that Kobe seemed to agree with Meng Xu's words very much. And after Kobe Bryant heard Meng Xu's words, he first nodded his head mechanically, and then stared at Meng Xu, Kobe found that just a few very ordinary words, his fighting spirit was stirred up by Meng Xu, and at this moment Kobe only cared about looking at Meng Xu, and did not notice that O'Neill was looking at him angrily.

"Kobe, it's 11-0 now, I don't want to wait until the game is over and you don't score, that would be too boring." After seeing that Kobe Bryant had already shown signs of being provoked by himself, Meng Xu continued to make persistent efforts, after saying this, Meng Xu obviously saw Kobe's lips move, as if he was scolding himself, but Meng Xu didn't care, anyway, he couldn't hear it, just scold two sentences.

"Bastard!"

"Bichi!"

"Fortunately, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are both that kind of tsundere character, if they meet Duncan, their own and Larry's plans will not play a role." Seeing that his agitation method and discordant plan seemed to have some effect, Meng Xu also had a hint of a successful expression at this moment.
