Chapter 403: Desperate Walker

Genius remembered for a second, "Love β™‚ Γ· small? Say β†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"I won't say much about other things, I hope you forget about the previous game, treat this game as the first game of the series, and play your best game for today's game, we have only one goal in this game, and that is to win! Victory! On June 11, 2002, before Game 4 of the Pacers and Lakers series began, Larry Bird put down his solemn expression and shouted passionate slogans in the home locker room of the Bankers' Living Arena. γ€ζ„›β†‘εŽ»β–³ε°β†“θͺͺβ–³ηΆ² Qu 】

Today's game, the importance is self-evident, the Pacers, who have fallen behind 1-2, can only continue to fight with the Lakers by winning today's game, and once they lose today's game, it is difficult to complete a 1-3 reversal in the Finals, because the NBA has developed so far, and there has not been a team in the Finals to complete the miracle of reversal in the case of falling behind 1-3, so today's game is a game that must be won for the Pacers. In a game with no way back, Larry Bird doesn't want his second Finals trip to coach the Pacers to come back with another frustration.

"Victory, victory, victory。。。。。。" When the Lakers led by O'Neal came out amid the boos of the fans, and it was the Pacers' turn to play, the entire bankers living arena suddenly resounded with an almost crazy shout. Indiana itself is a great place for basketball, and with the Pacers playing first in the East this season and returning to the Finals, the Pacers' ball market is getting hotter and hotter, and from the middle of the season, every game at the Bankers' Living Arena is full. Although in the previous two consecutive games, the Pacers lost without any temper, even including the first game, if it weren't for Meng Xu's sudden outburst in the fourth quarter, scoring 21 points in a single quarter, the Pacers would not have the slightest hope of winning, although the outside world is not optimistic about the Pacers' trip to the finals, but as Indiana natives, they will naturally not, and it is impossible for them to give up supporting their team like the outside world. γ€ζ„›β†‘εŽ»β–³ε°β†“θͺͺβ–³ηΆ² Qu 】

"Odin, Odin, Odin。。。。。。" When Meng Xu was the last player to play as the finale of the Pacers, the fans of the Banker Life Arena immediately stood up, chanting Meng Xu's nickname in unison, and cheering wave after wave, just one season later, Meng Xu became a hero in the eyes of the fans, the darling of the Banker Life Arena, in the eyes of the Pacers fans, Meng Xu is synonymous with omnipotence, and the fans on the scene supported Meng Xu and their team with all their best shouts.

Just when Meng Xu, who walked out of the player tunnel, waved to the fans in the audience, and walked onto the court to start warming up amid the MVP shouts in the sky, several Lakers players who had already played in advance suddenly set their eyes on Meng Xu, although in the first two games, Meng Xu's performance was not as crazy as the first game of the series, but the Lakers, from the head coach to every player on the court, did not dare to relax their vigilance against Meng Xu, let alone ignore Meng Xu's energy, when Meng Xu was in the first gameAfter the Lakers' home court broke the Lakers' famous Elgin Baylor's single-game scoring record in the Finals, the Lakers reached a consensus in their hearts that only by beating the Pacers, defeating Meng Xu, just like the 76ers last season, abusing the Pacers, and lifting this year's O'Brien Cup, can the shame imposed on Meng Xu be washed away.

"Boy, are you ready to be beaten by us?" O'Neal, who was originally practicing free throws, saw Meng Xu on the court, and directly threw the basketball in his hand to Robert Hawley on the side, and walked towards Meng Xu near the middle circle, after the first game, O'Neal held his breath, so from the beginning of the second game, O'Neal continued to provoke Meng Xu, wanting to provoke him and make him psychologically abnormal, but what disappointed O'Neal was that this guy was exactly the same as his senior, the stupid guy of the Spurs, no matter how he provoked, Meng Xu was unmoved.

Just when O'Neal provoked Meng Xu, Kobe Bryant behind him also gave up the warm-up, crossed his hands on his waist, and looked at Meng Xu with a strange expression, when Meng Xu appeared just now, listening to the uniform cheers of the fans, Kobe was really jealous of Meng Xu, although Kobe is now also the darling of Staples, but he is not the only protagonist there, where Kobe Bryant can't enjoy the treatment that Meng Xu is now.

。。。。。。

"In today's game, the Pacers' starting lineup has undergone some changes, Reggie Miller has replaced James Posey back in the starting lineup, other than that, the rest of the lineup has not changed, the playmaking guard is still Jamal Tinsley, small forward Meng Xu, two interior Jermaine O'Neal and Lorenzen White."

"On the Lakers' side, they still continued the starting lineup in the previous three games, center Shaq O'Neal, big forward Robert Hawley, small forward Rick Fox, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, and organizational guard Derrick Fisher, after winning two consecutive games, the Lakers basically have no need to adjust, as long as they continue to implement the tactics and playing style in the previous games."

"In fact, in this situation now, there is not much room for adjustment between the two teams, the two sides are very familiar with each other's tactics and playing styles, and even the tactical characteristics of each player. After introducing the starting lineup lists of both sides, Magic Johnson began to discuss tactical things with Michaels, every time he came to this link, Michaels had a black face, and quietly watched Magic Johnson pretend to be BI with a resentful face, although he has been commenting for more than 20 years, and he has been commenting basketball for some years, but when it comes to understanding basketball, and his insight and analysis of the situation on the court, Michaels is really not as good as Magic Johnson.

This game is very important, it is no exaggeration to say that this game will be a game that will decide this round of the series, so before the game, almost all basketball bricks are discussing the trend of this game, and also predicting the outcome of this game, the Lakers have O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, two superstars, in addition to the triangle offense that has been familiar for a long time, so whether it is playing team basketball or playing superstar tactics, the Lakers have a lot of advantages over the Pacers, and the Pacers side, It has been proved in the previous games that if you want to beat the Lakers, it is not enough to rely on Meng Xu's play, after all, Meng Xu can't cut 60+ every game like the first game, so if you want to beat the Lakers, the Pacers have to play more team, and more players need to stand up and share the pressure for Meng Xu.

But at this time, it is impossible to temporarily change the team's tactics, so you can only make some small changes in the lineup, and at the same time rely on the adjustment of the players on the court, so in this game, Larry Bird can only replace Reggie Miller with the starting lineup, hoping that when Meng Xu continues to face the Lakers, Reggie Miller can share some pressure for Meng Xu on the offensive end. Just replacing James Posey with Reggie Miller means that the Pacers will relax their defense against Kobe, and Meng Xu will inevitably have to take on more responsibility on the defensive end, therefore, Larry Bird's change can basically be regarded as an all-or-nothing gamble, of course, at this time, the Pacers have indeed reached the time to make a desperate bet, and if they win, they will continue to play, and if they lose, the Pacers will most likely go home to fish.

"Alas, except for the jump ball, Jermaine basically did nothing when facing Shaq!" When this game started, relying on his explosive bounce and speed, he once again overpowered O'Neal and grabbed the ball for the Pacers, Magic Johnson on the sidelines looked at Jermaine O'Neal with a cute expression, and also laughed, in four consecutive games, Jermaine O'Neal won Shaq O'Neal when he jumped the ball, but Jermaine O'Neal's advantage was only limited to this, in the first three games, whether it was on the offensive end or on the defensive end, Jermaine O'Neal has been beaten by Shaq O'Neal without the slightest temper, not to mention the significant reduction in regular season and playoff statistics, and the average foul per game has reached a staggering 5.

"Jermaine's physicality is outstanding, but obviously he's missing some major tournament experience right now, and a lot of times he's a little bit helpless against Shaq, and he's wasted too much time with the Trail Blazers." As the leader of the 96 golden generation, being selected as a high school student in the 17th pick in the first round in that draft year when the talent player was like a blowout, itself has proved Jermaine O'Neal's outstanding talent, but talent cannot be directly cashed into strength, and when the players of the same era are sitting in the main position and constantly sharpening themselves, and even becoming a star player, Jermaine O'Neal is constantly wasting his talent on the bench of the Trail Blazers. Judging from the progress of Jermaine O'Neal in the past two seasons after joining the Pacers, if Jermaine O'Neal had not wasted those three years, perhaps he would have become a first-line superstar in the league like his contemporaries Ray Allen, Marbury, Raheem, Walker, and Nash, and even become a superstar like Kobe Bryant and Iverson.
