"Jermaine, concentrate, your opponent is also human, what is there to be afraid of."

At the beginning of this game, the Spurs launched a tight package on Meng Xu, but the Spurs' defense did not continue to show flaws because of the continuous package of Meng Xu, but under Tim Duncan's strong defense and co-defense, he always maintained an excellent overall defense, especially the Spurs' interior line, in the case that Robert Hawley needed to constantly pull out to wrap Meng Xu, Tim Duncan had to greet nn Hilario and Jermaine O'Neal at the same time. However, the Pacers' two interior lines never took advantage of the two-on-one situation, especially in this round, when Jermaine O'Neal and Nn Hilario were grabbed by Tim Duncan on the head and then scored on the dunk.

Therefore, when advancing towards the front court, Meng Xu was also a little dissatisfied and yelled at Jermaine O'Neal who passed by him, and after Meng Xu yelled, Jermaine O'Neal also hung his head a little embarrassed.

"I've done my best." Jermaine O'Neal, who hung his head, muttered in a low voice, he didn't dare to say such words to Meng Xu, because Jermaine O'Neal knew that as long as he said such a thing, then Meng Xu would definitely ask himself, "Jermaine, what about your dreams?" What about your ambitions? What about your promise to punch O'Neal and kick Duncan? ”

As the Pacers continue to win championships, and Jermaine O'Neal has been able to steadily contribute about 20+10+2 data for many consecutive seasons, so the current Jermaine O'Neal has squeezed out Chris Webber, who has been declining due to injury, and has turned the five big forwards back into the big four, but like Chris Webber, Jermaine O'Neal is also at the bottom of the big four forwards, and when facing the rest of the big four, Jermaine O'Neal can rarely have the upper hand. Especially Tim Duncan, the head of the four big forwards, although after several summers of joint training, Jermaine O'Neal is already very familiar with Tim Duncan's tactical characteristics and habits, but in the matchup again and again, Jermaine O'Neal is still made clear by Tim Duncan, and he always loses to the same opponent, but it is very demoralizing to a person's confidence, maybe Jermaine O'Neal has a shadow of Duncan now.

"Jermaine, wait for the pull-up to block it for me." Looking at Jermaine O'Neal's appearance, Meng Xu is angry, Duncan can eat you, look at the little nn of others, knowing that he can't get Duncan, he still pounces on it again and again, compared to nn-Hilario who doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, Jermaine O'Neal's mentality is somewhat problematic now.

After Tony Allen dribbled through the halfcourt, he still handed over the basketball to Meng Xu, as the organization of the Pacers, the offensive core, no matter how many people are around, no matter what kind of defense he has to face, the basketball always has to go around Meng Xu's hands.

After receiving the basketball, Meng Xu did not move sideways with the ball to block and dismantle Jermaine O'Neal who was already waiting at the top of the arc as he had just called Jermaine O'Neal, but directly handed over the basketball to Jermaine O'Neal, who had already done a good job of blocking and dismantling there, and signaled to his teammates around him not to cover Jermaine O'Neal, and let Jermaine O'Neal go to play alone this round.

"Very strange pass, I originally thought that after O'Neal Jr. pulled to the top of the arc, Meng Xu would do a blocking and dismantling cooperation with him, but Meng Xu directly handed over the basketball to O'Neal Jr." Looking at the Pacers' non-mainstream play on the court, Magic Johnson was also a little surprised, although Jermaine O'Neal is the second leader of the Pacers, but in the current tactical system of the Pacers, Jermaine O'Neal basically will not go to the ball alone, let alone let him hold the ball alone at the top of the arc like now.

"Rick, do you want to call a timeout?"

Looking at the Pacers, who had no tactics under Meng Xu's connivance, Lester Connell, assistant coach of the Pacers, looked at Rick Carlisle who was standing on the sidelines and asked with some uncertainty.

"Wait." With his hands clasped to his chest, Rick Carlisle, expressionless, shook his head gently. As the head coach of the Pacers, after a wave of four consecutive defeats, Rick Carlisle now needs a win too much, in this wave of losses of the Pacers, not only Meng Xu was criticized by the outside world, even Rick Carlisle, as the head coach, was also questioned by the outside world, originally after the Auburn Hills palace group fight, many people questioned Rick Carlisle's control of this team, now well, after a wave of consecutive defeats, the outside world is not only questioning Rick Carlisle's ability to control the team, They have even begun to doubt Rick Carlisle's coaching ability, so Rick Carlisle is now in desperate need of a win to end his current predicament, but as a head coach with higher-level pursuits, Rick Carlisle is also very concerned about some of the situations that exist within the Pacers.

There are too many players in this league, after winning the championship and signing a big contract, they will have nothing to pursue, lack the fighting spirit to continue to fight, and even wait for death, as a team that has established a dynasty and won three championships in a row, there is no doubt that this situation exists in the Pacers, which is also the problem that Rick Carlisle has been worried about, and the first is the team's second leader Jermaine O'Neal, three championships in hand, and signed a big contract with the team for 7 years and more than 100 million, also has its own company, most of the players who play in the NBA, basically as long as they get to the position of Jermaine O'Neal, they will more or less lose the fighting spirit to continue to fight, so Rick Carlisle has been thinking about how to rekindle their fighting spirit, after all, Rick Carlisle does not have as many championship rings as they have.

Rick Carlisle can feel that Meng Xu, as the boss of the team, is now aware of this problem, and Meng Xu, like himself, is looking for a solution, so Rick Carlisle is willing to give Meng Xu a chance and support him behind his back, let him try, and find a solution to the problem.
