"It seems that the Lakers' defensive strategy in this game has still not changed, and they still continue to pinch Meng Xu." When Jermaine O'Neal unexpectedly defeated Shak O'Neal's jump ball successfully, the Lakers' side except for O'Neal and Robert Hawley quickly began to retreat to the backcourt, the rest of Kobe, Rick Fox, and Fisher were still the same as in the previous two games, the first time to pounce on their respective defensive objects, Fisher ran to force and delay Jamal Tinsley who was advancing with the ball, while Kobe and Rick Fox began to wrap Meng Xu in the backcourt.

Obviously, for O'Neal's jump ball failure, the Lakers have long been prepared and countermeasures, although O'Neal is huge, but he still belongs to the kind of center position, and the bounce speed and movement speed are first-class players, especially when O'Neal was young, O'Neal, who played guard in high school, and several other of the four centers, are all the kind of players who have interior height and have outside skills, but now O'Neal is constantly gaining weight. The physical fitness is obviously not as good as it was at that time, so in the face of a top player like Jermaine O'Neal, O'Neal's jump ball failure is also very normal.

After Jamal Tinsley tried several times in a row and couldn't give the basketball to Meng Xu, Jamal Tinsley made a gesture to Meng Xu and began to follow the plan B formulated by head coach Larry Bird before the game. Although a lot of ball possession is needed to give full play to Meng Xu's greatest energy and the advantages of his own system, this does not mean that if he loses the ball, Meng Xu's performance will lose his level, on the contrary, Meng Xu's off-ball running ability belongs to the top few people in the entire league, compared to Reggie Miller, who is known for his coquettishness and sharpness in the league, Meng Xu's off-ball running ability is even slightly stronger. Compared with the traditional organizational strikers who need a lot of ball possession to give full play to their own advantages, as well as super shooters like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, Meng Xu has taken into account all the advantages of the above two players, not only can organize offense to drive teammates, but also rely on his excellent off-ball running position to play without the ball and integrate into other tactical systems, so Meng Xu is a typical offensive and receptive player, in the eyes of almost all coaches, players like Meng Xu belong to the type of player who is close to perfect.

When the Lakers were still the same as the previous two games, the Pacers had to change the established strategy, with Jamal Tinsley as the central axis, Jermaine O'Neal as the inner fulcrum, through Meng Xu and Reggie Miller, the two of them ran without the ball to tear apart the opponent's defense of the running and cutting tactics, in the regular season Larry Bird has been experimented many times, although the tactical effect is not as good as the breakthrough tactics with Meng Xu as the core, but compared to the x**d tactics, it is still more than one level strongerTherefore, before the start of this game, Larry Bird took this tactic as an alternative tactic in this game, and trained for a morning, just to deal with the current situation in this game, if the Lakers continue to cover Meng Xu throughout the game, then the Pacers will start Plan B, that is, the run-pass cut tactic, but this temporary tactic can play a few percent, and Larry Bird has no bottom in his heart.

"What the hell is this guy doing?" When Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the bench, saw that Meng Xu suddenly gave up his plan to organize the offense, but took Kobe Bryant and Rick Fox to start cutting and running, Phil Jackson also subconsciously looked at Larry Bird, who was standing on the sidelines not far away, and at the same time stretched out his right hand on his increasingly thin head, scratching it, trying to guess that Larry Bird's real purpose in doing this was forced to be helpless? Or is there some deep meaning?

When Meng Xu began to give up holding the ball and chose to run without the ball, the Lakers' bag clamp on Meng Xu was basically invalid, and Meng Xu, who gave up holding the ball, was definitely the best in the entire league in terms of mobility and movement speed. Rick Fox's defensive awareness and desire to defend are good, but limited by his own ability and physical fitness, Rick Fox is often very powerless in the face of Meng Xu's outside line, especially when Meng Xu runs back and cuts, Rick Fox can't keep up with Meng Xu's footsteps at all, compared with Rick Fox, Kobe can barely keep up with Meng Xu's footsteps, and Kobe's defense is more oppressive than Rick Fox, and Kobe Bryant is judging Meng Xu's travel route, is also obviously much stronger than Rick Fox, just after Meng Xu completed the series of runs of air cuts, reverse runs, and slipping the bottom line, Rick Fox has long lost his defensive target, leaving only Kobe Bryant still chasing after Meng Xu.

"Beautiful 3-pointer, unguarded Reggie Miller 3-pointer!" Just when the focus of the audience was on Meng Xu and Kobe, Reggie Miller, who was basically in an unguarded state, ran to his best shooting position very easily, after receiving the basketball passed by Jermaine O'Neal from under the basket, Reggie Miller jumped up lightly and threw the basketball in his hand, although this season due to the arrival of Meng Xu and the rise of Jermaine O'Neal, Reggie Miller's average points per game have fallen to the lowest point after the rookie season, only 6 points, But this does not mean that Reggie Miller has no ability to score, this kind of unguarded open shooting, Reggie Miller is quite high shooting percentage.

"Mistake, how did I ignore him!" After Reggie Miller hit the first shot, Phil Jackson, who just frowned slightly, but when Reggie Miller hit the second 3-pointer, Phil Jackson couldn't sit still, Reggie Miller is not James Posey, as long as he is given the opportunity, it is very possible to win 20+, or even 30+ in a game, but Phil Jackson did not immediately adjust, but was considering, because no matter what, Phil Jackson did not want to relax his defense against Meng Xu because of this, If Reggie Miller is compared to a poisonous snake ready to bite you, then Meng Xu is a man-eating lion, as long as he is given the opportunity, he may swallow you whole.

"Reggie! Reggie! Just three minutes into the opening game, Reggie Miller scored eight straight points and the Pacers hit a 10-4 spurt for the Lakers, Phil Jackson immediately called a short timeout, and as the players walked off the court, Reggie Miller's name rang out throughout the bankers' life arena.

"Al, at this time, I suddenly remembered a famous quote from General Eisenhower." Looking at Reggie Miller's back when he got off the court, Magic Johnson also seemed to have some feelings, after Jordan retired, for that championship ring, many veterans who have been in the league for many years began to find ways to hug their thighs, so that their careers have no regrets, which even includes Barkley, Drecles, such superstars, and Reggie Miller is one of the few players who have always stuck to their hearts.

"Veterans don't die, they just slowly wither!"
