The impact of this game between the Spurs and the Raptors is very great, Vince Carter is a new star in the league after Jordan retired, and Duncan is also promoted to the ranks of the league's first-class superstars after winning the championship and being crowned the MVP of the finals last season. It is in this situation that this national live broadcast of the game has attracted a lot www.biquge.info of attention from the beginning, and the ratings of this game are also the highest 13% in this round, and at the last moment of the game, Vince Carter's lore and Meng Xu's counter-lore during that time, the ratings reached 17%. In such a high-profile game, Meng Xu, who shot 8 of 13 in the whole game, scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 assist, and shot a stunner.

"We lost this game, I'm not going to make any excuses, Spurs are a championship team and there's nothing to be ashamed of losing to them. Tim Duncan is a great player, he's one of the most dominant players in the entire league, and Meng? He's one of the best rookies of the year, and it's hard to imagine such a good player falling to the bottom of the first round, and Mr. Popovich's eye is amazing. ”

The Spurs won the battle of the focus of the game by defeating the Raptors, who are ranked second in the East, 101-99 away, and with the victory of this game, the Spurs also successfully topped the league.

9 seconds, just 9 seconds away, a win in hand flew away, this result is of course disappointing, if your team does not perform well, forget it, but every player on the field in this game is conscientious, the performance is very good, the team's defense of Duncan and Robinson is also very good, in this case, it is really difficult to accept.

Compared to Butch Carter's unhappy face, Popovich is now a spring breeze with a spring breeze, after this game, the Spurs overtook the Lakers by 0.5 wins, topped the league, and took the lead in the long regular season.

"We were lucky to win this game, Vince Carter is now one of the best outside players in the league, and he almost beat us single-handedly。。。。。。" Popovich also praised Carter without hesitation, and his words continued to reveal his appreciation for Carter.

"Vince Carter scored 43 points and contributed a quasi-kill, and the Raptors regretted losing to the Spurs."

"Lore and counter-lore, an unbelievable game, a game worthy of playoff intensity."

"The No. 29 rookie beat the Raptors, and the Spurs beat the Los Angeles Lakers 16-3 to top the league."

"I'm going to kill you here! The most arrogant rookie in history replicates the Bird Miracle. With the end of the game, the shock caused by this game is far from disappearing, especially at the last moment of the game, Meng Xu shot a similar position to Vince Carter's quasi-lore, shot a 3-pointer, and killed the Raptors.

"Meng, how do you feel?" After the game against the Raptors, the next day the entire Spurs flew to Indiana to prepare for tomorrow's away game against the Pacers. I don't know when, Popovich was already sitting next to Meng Xu, and Meng Xu, who was resting with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes after noticing the movement beside him.

"It's okay, but I'm feeling a little tired." In yesterday's game, Meng Xu played 24 minutes, which was the most minutes played this season, and he did not rest for a moment in the third quarter, and after a high-intensity game, Meng Xu was also a little tired.

'I hope you can take more responsibility and take some of the pressure off Thiem in the future.' After the game with the Raptors, Popovich completely strengthened his determination to correct Meng Xu, if he still took into account Meng Xu's lack of offensive ability, or still had a trace of illusions about Chaki Brown, then after yesterday's game, Popovich has no worries at all, just this morning, Popovich instructed his assistant to start seeking a trade and send Chaki Brown away.

Like the Spurs' outside defense, the Spurs' biggest weakness on the offensive end is the 3-point shot, averaging 10 3-point shots last season and less than 11 this season, ranking last in the league. What's even more embarrassing is to hit 3.4 goals per game, and the whole team does not have a stable 3-point pitcher, as soon as it comes to the critical moment of the game, the opponent will put the Spurs to shoot 3 points, which is simply a mockery of Hongguoguo, for example, the Spurs 3-pointers shot 9 of 21, it seems that the shooting rate is very good, but only Meng Xu hit 7 3-pointers, except for Meng Xu's 11 shots of 7, the rest of the Spurs players are amazing 10 shots of 2, such a shooting rate can only be described as frenzied.

If Meng Xu can maintain the 3-point level against the Raptors, and he doesn't even need to have such a hot hand, as long as he has a shooting rate of more than 4 percent, then the Spurs' tactics will become more flexible, and Tim Duncan will become more relaxed on the offensive end. This is not only Popovich's decision, but also the decision made by the entire Spurs coaching staff after discussion, even if Meng Xu's physical strength can't support the whole game, even if he can only maintain a good state for 30 minutes, Meng Xu enters the main lineup, and the Spurs will not only become more fluid on the offensive end, but also directly improve the defensive end by a level.

"Well, I will." Meng Xu nodded with some excitement. Obviously, after this game, Meng Xu has won Popovich's trust, if Popovich's positioning and requirements for Meng Xu before are an outside defender and a qualified substitute rotation player, then from now on Meng Xu will be one of the main players of the Spurs.

'I'll put you in the squad at the right time, but until then, all you have to do is keep your form.' After Popovich finished speaking, he got up and patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, and walked towards his seat.

"I'm finally going to hit the main force." If Meng Xu's initial dream of entering the NBA was just to gain a foothold in the Spurs and not be cut halfway by the Spurs, then with the continuous enhancement of strength, Meng Xu's biggest hope now is to enter the main lineup of the Spurs. Seeing that this goal was about to be realized, Meng Xu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and hummed a little song on the plane.
