Chapter 553: An Epic Showdown
"Gilbert, what are you doing? Stop! Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan saw Arenas's crazy moves, and immediately rushed to the sidelines, ready to scold Arenas, but what made Eddie Jordan even more shocked was that after Arenas snatched the basketball from Marbury's hand, in order to avoid Meng Xu's pressing, he took a big step back, and then shot nearly two meters away from the three-point line.
"Is this kid crazy?" At this moment, not only Eddie Jordan on the sidelines, but even Michaels on the commentary bench was shocked by Arenas' current behavior, shooting two meters outside the three-point line, this kid is no longer confident and arrogant, but really crazy.
"It's coming!" After seeing Arenas's almost crazy move, Meng Xu's reaction was different from everyone else, because Meng Xu had heard from Anna more than once that there is such a group of people in the NBA, their three-point ability is not super-first-class, but their range is very long, they can extend to a distance of two meters or even three meters outside the three-point line, and what is even more bizarre is that the farther away the more accurate, if you let him shoot close to the three-point line, his shooting percentage will be very poor, and Arenas is one of them, so after seeing Arenas's move, Meng Xu knew that he might see such a special Arenas today.
"How is this possible!" When the basketball thrown by Arenas fell into the basket in a brilliant arc, countless people who were waiting to see Arenas laugh at the moment had an unbelievable expression, and nearly two meters outside the three-point line, this guy actually threw it.
After Arenas scored this goal, he just waved his arm lightly and began to retreat, although the goal was hit, but the two sides still had a 6-point gap.
"This, this γγγγγγ" Eddie Jordan, who was scolded by Arenas just now, was speechless for a while after seeing Arenas shoot, and shots from this distance could be scored! Although in daily training, Arenas often hits some ultra-long-distance and difficult three-pointers, but after all, it is training, and neither the intensity nor the atmosphere can be compared to the game.
"It's just a matter of luck." Marbury, who was snatched the basketball from Arenas just now, just wanted to get angry at Arenas after a short period of distraction, when he saw Arenas hit a three-point shot.
"The beautiful three-pointer is really incredible, Arenas hit a super long-distance three-point shot about two meters from the three-point line, such a distance of three points, it's incredible!" Magic Johnson, who has been silent for a long time, also looked very excited after Arenas hit the shot, and the Wizards began to retreat, and he was still chattering about Arenas's shot just now.
"Oh God, what did I see!" While Magic Johnson was still chattering, Michaels, who was next to Magic Johnson, jumped up from his seat excitedly.
"Beautiful, beautiful anser ball, just 8 seconds after Arenas hit an ultra-long-range three-pointer, Meng Xu returned the color to Arenas in the same position, this shot is incredible!" Michaels is really excited now, this kind of ultra-long-distance three-point shooting, itself is very rare, and now when Arenas hit an ultra-long-distance three-pointer, Meng Xu immediately shot back, this kind of scene is not to say a once-in-a-lifetime, at least in the history of the NBA, it is also extremely rare, anyway, in Michaels's NBA commentary career, it is the first time to see this kind of scene.
In the Pacers' offense just now, after Jermaine O'Neal sent the baseline ball, Meng Xu slapped the basketball unhurriedly, and advanced to the place where Arenas had just shot, jumping, shooting, all in one go, even Arenas, who was defending Meng Xu, didn't expect Meng Xu to be in the same position, and he returned the color to himself, so after Meng Xu's shot, Arenas also had a surprised expression, but after a moment, Arenas licked his lips excitedly, the more Meng Xu was like this, On the contrary, the more it stimulates Arenas' fighting spirit.
"This kid will definitely continue to shoot." Although Meng Xu's shot back at Arenas looked very shocking, and even brought a lot of pressure to the Wizards players on the court, but for this shot, Meng Xu didn't have too many feelings, Meng Xu's idea just now was purely to try whether he could hit such a long distance. However, after the shot was hit, seeing Arenas, who was more than a meter away from him, changed from surprise to excitement, Meng Xu knew that the guy in front of him was ready to fight with him.
Similar to Meng Xu's expectations, Arenas, who once again snatched the ball from Marbury, gradually slowed down after dribbling through the middle circle, and Meng Xu also prepared in advance, stopping in advance more than a meter outside the three-point line, although Meng Xu had a hunch that Arenas would still shoot three points in this ball, but Meng Xu didn't dare to be too careless, and like Meng Xu, everyone's eyes on the scene were focused on Arenas, all of them were watching Arenas's performance in this offense, Let's see if Arenas will have an anser ball with Meng Xu again.
"Come on!" Because Meng Xu has expanded the defensive range to one meter outside the three-point line, it is not so easy for Arenas to shoot at the position where he just shot, for Arenas, choosing to break through at this time is actually the most reasonable offensive choice, but Meng Xu concluded that Arenas will not break through, but will continue to shoot three points, so Meng Xu also wants to see how far Arenas will shoot this time.
Just after Meng Xu's words fell, Arenas did as he wished, and when Arenas advanced with the ball to a distance of almost two steps from Meng Xu, Arenas made a stop-and-go jump shot a little farther away than the position he had just shot.
Arenas' position this time was more than two meters away from the three-point line, and more than half a meter away from the position where the shot was made just now.
"You can get in!" Under the stunned and incredulous expressions of the audience, the basketball thrown by Arenas hit again, plus the shot just now, this is the second ultra-long-distance shot that Arenas has hit in this game, and it is a continuous hit.
After Arenas hit the basket again, the Wizards players on and off the court could no longer be calm, Caron Butler and Jarvis Hayes rushed to Arenas's side like crazy, and the Wizards players on the sidelines rushed to the sidelines, waving the towels in their hands frantically.
As for the Pacers players on the court, they are the same as no one, after Jermaine O'Neal quickly sent the baseline ball, it was advanced by Meng Xu's dribbling, Arenas's two seemingly menacing ultra-long-distance three-pointers did not affect the mentality of these Pacers players, 74 wins and 35 consecutive wins in the regular season, bringing them not only honor, but also strong self-confidence, and the mentality of Taishan collapsing forward and unchanged.
"This, thisγγγγγγ How can it be! When Meng Xu slowly advanced to the position where Arenas had just shot, facing Arenas who was already pressing, Meng Xu directly stepped back and pulled out the jump shot, a little farther away than the position where Arenas just shot, after shooting again, Magic Johnson on the commentary bench could no longer find any words to describe it, Meng Xu shot back at Arenas again, this kind of shooting and anser ball is really ruined.
And when Meng Xu faced Arenas twice in a row, the entire Banker's Life Arena immediately boiled.
"An epic showdown!" When Arenas hit a longer long-range three-pointer in the next attack, and Meng Xu also hit back at Arenas in the same position again, Michael searched his mind and could only find this word to describe this duel between Meng Xu and Arenas.
