Chapter 398: Finals Score Record?

"It seems that Meng Xu is not willing to lose this game like this!" When the game started in the fourth quarter, Meng Xu took over the ball directly from Jamal Tinsley, and personally dribbled the basketball to the front court.

"Is Meng Xu ready to take over the game now? Is his stamina strong enough to last until the last moment? Seeing that Meng Xu seemed to be preparing to take over the game in advance, Michaels was also a little worried about Meng Xu's physical strength, in the first three quarters of the game, Meng Xu only rested for 2 minutes, and then came on the court again after the start of the fourth quarter, looking ready to hold on until the last moment of the game. Although Meng Xu did not consume too much energy on the defensive end in this game, Meng Xu made 27 shots in the third quarter, and most of them were extremely physically exhausting back-body singles, so Michaels's worries were not unnecessary.

"Meng, are you finally going to take it back?" I have to say that even as an opponent, in Kobe's heart, he still has a lot of respect for Meng Xu, in this league, there are not many players who can be eyed by Kobe, and Meng Xu is one of them, Meng Xu's scoring explosiveness in the fourth quarter is obvious to all, but when Kobe Bryant saw that Meng Xu wanted to take over the game, he did not have the slightest fear and unhappiness, but an excited look.

Meng Xu, who has always liked to talk trash with people, faced Kobe's active provocation this time, but unusually did not respond to him, but hummed lightly with an expressionless face, and then instantly accelerated his pace, with a feint and change of direction, he got rid of Kobe's pressure and rushed directly to a place only one step away from the 3-point line.

"Want to get rid of me? That's impossible. Kobe, who was thrown off by Meng Xu, chased after him at a very fast speed and appeared on Meng Xu's side, and at the same time grabbed Meng Xu's jersey directly with one hand.

"Oh no, this guy is going to shoot 3 points." However, just when Kobe wanted to accelerate again and stuck directly in front of Meng Xu, he found that Meng Xu took a small step back after slapping the basketball on the spot, which was Meng Xu's signature step-back dry pull-out jumper.

Although when Meng Xu retreated, Kobe Bryant had already sensed Meng Xu's intentions, but at this moment, Kobe Bryant was also a little weak, although Kobe Bryant also jumped up with Meng Xu, but Kobe, who did not have time to adjust his body, could only be in the air, watching Meng Xu throw the basketball in his hand.

When Kobe and Meng Xu landed at the same time, Kobe immediately looked back in the direction of the basket, and with the sound of brushing, the basketball thrown by Meng Xu was hollow into the net, and after Meng Xu's 3-point hit, 80-85, the difference between the two sides was narrowed to 5 points.

"It's going to be bad!" In this game, Phil Jackson, who has been sitting firmly on the bench and basically hasn't left his seat, stopped shooting after seeing Meng Xu rush directly to the 3-point line, his heart immediately chuckled, in this game, although Meng Xu scored 42 points in the first 3 quarters, most of his scores came from back-to-back singles and free throws, but the number of shots outside the 3-point line was not much, and he only shot 2 times in the 3rd quarter of the game, hitting 1 ball, This is a world of difference from Meng Xu's average of 8.5 3-pointers per game in the regular season, and he soared to more than 10 3-pointers at every turn. And as a 3-time All-Star 3-point king, a super scorer who hit 306 3-pointers this season, the entire league knows how good Meng Xu's 3-point is, although Meng Xu didn't shoot a few 3-point shots in this game, but when Meng Xu was ready to give it a go and soar 3-pointers, as a witness to Meng Xu's 11 3-pointers in a single quarter, Phil Jackson's heart couldn't help but rise a panic.

"Nice 3." When Meng Xu hit the first 3-point hit after the opening of the fourth quarter, unlike Phil Jackson's apprehension, Michaels's mood was very comfortable on the commentary bench on the sidelines, with Meng Xu's 3-point explosiveness, as long as he can ensure a good shooting rate, the 8-point gap will be erased in a few rounds.

"In this game, maybe we really have a chance." Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, Larry Bird, who has been standing on the sidelines, is also clenching his fists tightly at the moment, looking at Meng Xu, who has quickly retreated after the shot.

Just when everyone on the sidelines was still thinking about Meng Xu's 3-point shot, the Lakers, who returned to the offensive end, missed Kobe Bryant's 3-point shot, and O'Neal, who grabbed the rebound in the front court, beat Lorenzen White to score a rebound, and the difference between the two sides was widened to 7 points again.

James Posey quickly sent out the baseline ball, received the basketball Meng Xu, and advanced directly to the top of the arc at a very fast speed, facing the defense of Kobe and Fisher, Meng Xu did not hesitate at all, and stepped back again to pull out his hand.

When Meng Xu's 3-point shot hit again, Phil Jackson on the sidelines stood up directly from his seat, signaled his assistant, and called a short timeout, 83-87, the difference between the two sides was only 4 points, and when there were nearly 11 minutes left in the game, there was no advantage in such a point difference, and more importantly, after Meng Xu's two consecutive three-point shots, the Pacers, who had been a little sluggish in the second half of the third quarter, have obviously regained their fighting spirit.

I have to say that although the shooting method of dry pull jump shot may not be so stable in terms of shooting rate, even if Meng Xu has an upper limit of 105 points, the overflowing long-range shooting attribute, and Meng Xu's long-range shooting skill has a minimum long-range shooting rate of 25%, but Meng Xu's dry-pull jump shot is still a little erratic. But this kind of straight up and straight down shooting method is a very shocking way to shoot, especially when such a shot can hit continuously, it can definitely hit the morale of the opponent, and at the same time can also drive the morale of your own players.

Just the Lakers fans in the Staples Center were a little worried about whether Meng Xu would suddenly have a convulsion in this game and cut 20+ or 30 in a single quarter, just like last year's game, when the Lakers were reversed, the 120-second timeout was over. After a short pause, the Lakers began to use Kobe Bryant and Rick Fox to wrap Meng Xu, and Phil Jackson, who had been sitting on the sidelines for a night, obviously couldn't sit still, and after the timeout, he stood on the sidelines and stared at the court motionlessly. However, Meng Xu's performance in the next two minutes made Phil Jackson, who was already a little frightened, sit back in his seat again.

After hitting two consecutive shots after the opening, in the next game, under the bag of Kobe and Rick Fox, Meng Xu made four more shots outside the three-point line, but all of them were ironed, but fortunately, Jermaine O'Neal grabbed two frontcourt rebounds in a row and hit a rebound, and the Pacers were not pulled away by the Lakers.

"Meng, I believe you will definitely be able to shoot the next ball." Just after Meng Xu missed four shots, James Posey, who retreated, also came directly to Meng Xu's vicinity, shouting to Meng Xu with a comforting tone, and almost all the Pacers players, James Posey also pinned all the hopes of winning this game on Meng Xu, and James Posey was also very confident in Meng Xu, Meng Xu said that if he could win, he would definitely win.

"Meng is really decisive, there are few players in the league who are so decisive towards Meng, at this time, Meng should try to try other offensive methods." When Meng Xu missed the four shots, in the next attack, or in the place where he shot just now, after pulling out his hand again, Magic Johnson's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, with Meng Xu's almost comprehensive scoring method, there was no need to shoot 3 points to the death, and when the hand was not good, he changed his offensive method, this kind of 3-point shooting that played with his life is paranoid when it sounds good, and it is nerves to say that it is ugly.

"This goal has been scored, it has already scored 51 points, maybe in this game, Meng is likely to break the scoring record in the finals." Like Magic Johnson, Michaels, who was a little nervous by Meng Xu's four misses, also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Meng Xu's ball finally hit, but after thinking about it for a while, Michaels immediately became excited, there are 6 minutes left, if nothing else, Meng Xu is likely to break the Finals scoring record set by Elgin Baylor in 1962, even if it is not good to break the second-highest scoring record held by Jordan and Barry.

"My time is finally up." Unconsciously, half of the game in the fourth quarter was played, taking advantage of the gap between the dead balls, when there were 6 minutes and 22 seconds left in the game, the referee on duty blew the whistle of the official pause, and after hearing the whistle, he looked up at the scoreboard and the timer, Meng Xu said softly, in order to ensure that the Lakers can be completely defeated in 6 minutes, without leaving them any room for overtaking, after the game entered the fourth quarter, Meng Xu has been waiting, waiting for the last 6 minutes of the game, took out his big move and kicked the Lakers to the ground in one fell swoop.
