Chapter 328: Mission Accomplished
"Leicester, Meng just told me that when he reaches 51 points, let me replace him." Looking at Lester Connell's puzzled expression, Larry Bird continued, "I'm sure he won't let me down." ”
"51 points?" After hearing Larry Bird's words, Lester Connell remembered Meng Xu's joke before the game, Jordan said that he would score 50 points in the next game against the Pistons, and Meng Xu did not show weakness that he would score 51 points in this game. For these words, many people, including Lester Connell, thought it was a joke and didn't take it to heart, but they didn't expect Meng Xu to be serious. Compared with Larry Bird's unconditional belief that Meng Xu will do what he says, Lester Connell has some doubts in his heart, although Meng Xu's scoring ability and scoring explosiveness are very strong, but Meng Xu's total score in the first three quarters is 24 points, if you want to score 51 points in this game, then in the fourth quarter, Meng Xu must score at least 27 points, with the Pistons' current defensive intensity against Meng Xu, 27 points in a single quarter, which is really difficult, you must know that in the first 3 quarters of the game, The Pacers haven't scored more than 27 points in a single quarter of the game.
Just when Lester Connell was still thinking about why Meng Xu was so confident, a burst of cheers broke out on the bench of the Pacers, Meng Xu stole Billups' pass in defense, and hit a fast-break 3-pointer directly, less than 30 seconds into the opening game, through Meng Xu's two consecutive 3-pointers, the Pacers had already equalized the score.
"Looks like we're in trouble." After Meng Xu equalized, Rick Carlisle immediately called a timeout, ready to rearrange the defensive strategy against Meng Xu, because Meng Xu only played for a few minutes in the third quarter, so it was determined that Meng Xu would not have a touch for a while and a half, Rick Carlisle, after the opening of the fourth quarter, the defensive arrangement of Meng Xu was mainly to prevent breakthroughs, and after Meng Xu hit consecutive shots, Rick Carlisle had to rearrange the defense of Meng Xu. At the same time, Rick Carlisle also hopes that through this pause, he can interrupt Meng Xu's feelings, when he was a TV commentator last season, as one of the league's most popular new stars, Rick Carlisle and his partner have studied Meng Xu a lot, for Meng Xu from time to time to convulsions, a single quarter to score 20 to 30 points of explosive power, Rick Carlisle is really convinced, but Rick Carlisle does not want his team to become another ghost under Meng Xu's storm.
"Ron, you've given him too much space, get closer, be tighter, don't be afraid of being breached, Jerry will make up for you, understand?"
"Jerry, when you help defend, don't hesitate, be more decisive, as long as he has the ball and attack, immediately wrap him up, Chauncey will deal with Miller." Rick Carlisle was on the bench, pulling Artest and Stark House, who were in charge of defending Meng Xu, to his side, and while holding the tactical board, he loudly rearranged the defensive tactics of the two.
"Hopefully this timeout will work!" After a short arrangement, looking at the back of walking on the court, Rick Carlisle now has no bottom in his heart, it is precisely because he has studied Meng Xu that Rick Carlisle clearly knows the terrible thing about Meng Xu, as long as he wants to shoot, he wants to score, then except for himself, there is nothing to stop him.
Just after Stackhouse hit a shot to help the Pistons overtake the score again, seeing James Posey quickly send a baseline ball, Meng Xu, who received the ball, rushed directly to the 3-point line and shot quickly, the whole process took less than 6 seconds, and Rick Carlisle put his hands directly on his head.
Just after Meng Xu hit the shot, the "defense" sound that had just sounded in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena stopped abruptly, and a moment later there was a burst of boos, and Meng Xu retreated, while putting his right hand next to his ear to the side of the audience with some provocation.
"It's 33 points." After seeing Meng Xu hit again, Lester Connell was also confused, 3 shots in a row, Meng Xu's shot choices were actually very unreasonable, according to Meng Xu's style and ability, he could obviously choose a more secure way to score, or pass the ball to an empty teammate, but he didn't do it, but seemed to be hot-headed XJB shot, but what is unbelievable is that XJBT can still XJBJ, is it luck? Once or twice can be explained by luck, then three or four times can only be absolute strength. Is that why Larry Bird believes in him so much?
"Lester, you underestimate Meng's abilities, I think you'll understand that later." When Meng Xu made six three-point shots and hit five, seeing that there were already some speechless assistants standing on the sidelines, Larry Bird patted him on the shoulder, not all people are Bole, and they can tell the difference between a thousand miles of horses and horses, and this assistant of his own obviously needs to study hard to become a qualified assistant coach.
When the last timeout was used, racking his brains but still couldn't interrupt Meng Xu's hand, and after limiting Meng Xu's scoring, Rick Carlisle sat on the bench dumbfounded, and seemed to have given up resistance, the game between the Pacers and the Pistons, after entering the fourth quarter, became Meng Xu's scoring performance alone, in less than 5 minutes, Meng Xu shot 8 of 11, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 27 points in a row, and the Pistons, who were 6 points ahead of the Pacers at the beginning of the fourth quarter, It's now 87-98 down to give the Pacers 11 points.
"Larry, did you forget to call a timeout?" glanced up at the scoreboard, roughly calculated his score, and then Meng Xu made a time-out gesture to the sidelines, and after high-fives with a group of substitute players, Meng Xu whined to Larry Bird.
Although Meng Xu was off the court, but under the inspiration of Meng Xu, all the players of the Pacers were high-spirited, after the pause, after Jermaine O'Neal and Reggie Miller scored 6 points in a row, the game completely lost its suspense, and finally when the game ended, the Pacers defeated the Pistons 114-106 away, losing 114 points, which is also the most points lost by the Pistons this season.
"Meng beat us alone, he's one of the strongest players in the league, maybe he can get rid of one of them, if he wants to, he can score more points in this game, no one can stop him." At the press conference after the game, Rick Carlisle first took the responsibility for the loss on himself, and then praised Meng Xu all the time, without hesitating his praise.
"Why 51 points? This is a very simple question, Meng said before this game, he said that he would score 51 points, he just fulfilled his promise, you must know that Meng has always been a person who does what he says. ”
Just when Larry Bird took Jermaine O'Neal to attend today's press conference, Meng Xu walked into the locker room in a hurry as soon as the game ended, and went into the bathroom without even taking a shower.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced mission, reaching a strength evaluation of 95, obtaining the title of superstar, and lifting the limit of ability points."
"Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced mission, the upper limit of shooting attribute and long shot attribute is +5."
"Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced task, and an additional 20 attribute points and 2,000 points will be awarded."
"I finally succeeded." Although the reward for completing the task is not as rich as imagined, Meng Xu at this moment is the most excited and happy moment since he has the system, because from now on Meng Xu will truly become one of the strongest players in this league.
