Chapter 281: The Highest Realm of Pretending

"Meng, do you want to continue playing?" On the evening of May 27, 2001, during the official pause in the fourth quarter of the Spurs and Lakers series, Meng Xu, who walked down the court, took the towel handed by assistant coach D'Antoni, wiped the sweat on his face, and sat down on the bench chair, while head coach Popovich asked in Meng Xu's ear.

"No, we're already winning." looked at the scoreboard in the distance, 72-90, the Spurs have led by 18 points, and there are still 6 minutes left, the Lakers can't turn the tables anyway, in this game, Meng Xu has played the first 42 minutes, and now he feels very tired, and there is no point in continuing to play in the garbage time later.

After getting Meng Xu's affirmative answer, Popovich also nodded, but when Meng Xu's eyes swept over the bench, he saw several assistant coaches and the group of substitutes, and his eyes were a little abnormal, and Meng Xu didn't know what he missed until the end of the game.

"Is Meng Xu no longer playing? It's a shame. When the timeout passed, seeing that both teams had changed to the bench lineup, and Meng Xu, who was sitting on the sidelines, had already put on his training uniform, Michaels said with a regretful face.

"At this point, Meng Xu is indeed very similar to Larry, but it's really a pity that Meng Xu gave up an opportunity to make history." Magic Johnson shook his head with a smile on his face, after this game, the remarks about Meng Xu's data should be gone.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 103-90 on the road, and at the same time equalized the big score, they also regained their home court advantage. At the post-game press conference, most of the media reporters asked only one question, that is, why Meng Xu chose to rest off the court when he was short of one assist and could complete the first playoff quadruple-double in NBA history.

"I asked him at the time if he wanted to continue playing, but Meng said that he was tired, it's as simple as that, Meng has never been a player who cares about data, and any data can't show Meng Xu's role on the field." When Popovich said such a paragraph, the reporters at the scene spontaneously applauded Meng Xu, who was still playing with his teammates in the locker room.

"Meng, don't you think it's a pity?" Just when Popovich participated in the post-game press conference, Meng Xu, who had just taken a shower, began to pack his things, and Duncan ran over from the side, hugged Meng Xu's shoulders, and asked on the side, Duncan also learned later that Meng Xu was almost able to complete a quadruple-double feat.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, as long as the team can win, as for the quadruple-double or something, there will be opportunities in the future." When the game ended, after seeing the technical statistics of this game, Meng Xu also regretted it a little at first, 38 points, 14 rebounds, 10 steals, 9 assists, 6 blocks, 1 assist away from the first quadruple-double in the playoffs. But soon Meng Xu comforted himself, in the system evaluation, 4 pairs and 5 * 5 rewards are the same, so it doesn't make sense to take 4 pairs or not, it is better to be like Larry Bird, leave a little regret and imagination space for the majority of melon-eating people, and let them go to YY in private.

"You guy, you are really the true legend of the braggart king." After returning to the hotel, when Meng Xu entered the system space to receive the rewards obtained in this game, Anna unceremoniously reprimanded Meng Xu's meaningless pretending.

"Where am I pretending, I really didn't remember my stats clearly, if I had known that I could get four doubles with one assist, I would definitely play a few more minutes." Meng Xu is also a little crying and laughing now, although the four doubles and the 5*5 single-game evaluation rewards are the same, but because Meng Xu is in this era, there has not been a playoff 4-double data, so when Anna told Meng Xu that he missed an opportunity to create a milestone by himself, so Meng Xu's bowels of regret are now blue, but regret is regret, Meng Xu also knows very well that sooner or later, he will get four doubles.

"The highest level of pretending to be forced is that you are quietly pretending to be forced, and you don't know it yet, so if there is a hierarchy of pretending, you are at least A-level now."

"Okay Anna, no kidding, I still have a question for you, why do I still feel that my stamina is a little lacking, at least compared to Duncan, it's still a little short?" In the game that just ended, Meng Xu originally thought that with his 110 endurance attributes, he could squander his physical strength on the field, but when the game reached the 4th quarter, Meng Xu's physical strength was no longer able to support it, Meng Xu's style of play in the first 3 quarters, and O'Neal and Duncan, who also had no rest, still seemed to be at ease, you must know that O'Neill and Duncan faced a lot more intense than themselves, and Duncan was still in the case of the flu and no good luck.

"Because their stamina attributes are also 100, and they also have the ability to recover their stamina, and although your stamina attribute has reached 110 in this game, you don't have the skill to recover your stamina, so your stamina and stamina will pass quickly as the game progresses, but Duncan is different, they are consuming physical strength at the same time, and there are skills that are constantly recovering and replenishing physical strength for them, which is why many players, their physical strength seems to be endless, After a high-intensity game, there is still excess energy to spend on nightclubs. After Anna finished speaking, she also winked at Meng Xu, as if she was hinting at something.

"I'll go, if you didn't say it earlier, if you knew that there was still this kind of skill, I'll go learn one, which is not much stronger than simply adding attribute points." Looking at Anna's unbeaten expression, Meng Xu rolled his eyes and walked directly towards the big screen in the system space.

"You didn't ask me."

Which one to choose? Looking at the skills that are closest to his own matching degree in this row, Meng Xu is also a big head now, among all the endurance skills, the best is the "unlimited energy" of Chamberlain's S-level skills, but don't say S-level, it is A-level, Meng Xu doesn't have so many points to redeem now, fortunately, A-level endurance skills are also a handful, and they are all the same as Chamberlain's skills, which belong to those black and hard exclusive, and the matching degree with himself is extremely low, even if you have enough points, you can't learn.

In the end, Meng Xu selected a few skills with the highest matching degree with himself among all the B-level endurance skills, but looking at this row of skills and those familiar and unfamiliar names, Meng Xu fell into the difficulty of choosing, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Richard Hamilton, Kobe Bryant, Monta Ellis, these players have the highest matching degree of endurance attributes and Meng Xu, all of which exceed 90%, especially Richard Hamilton, and Meng Xu's matching degree has reached 96%. Among these people, Reggie Miller and Kobe, Meng Xu is the most familiar, as for the others, Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton, except for a few encounters in the regular season, Meng Xu doesn't know much about them, as for Monta Ellis, Meng Xu has not even heard of it.

"I hope you don't let me down." After hesitating again and again, Meng Xu finally chose the skill that matched him the most, and after consuming 2000 points, Meng Xu finally didn't have to worry about his physical strength anymore.

Skill Name: Perpetual Motion Machine (B-level Skill)

Skill level: LV4

Skill Effect: Increases the host's stamina attribute by 5 points, while recovering 4% of the host's stamina consumed every 5 minutes (1% for each level) until the end of the match.

。。。。。。

"Meng beat us, and as for the quadruple-double, as Mr. Popovich said, the data can't appreciate Meng Xu's role on the court. And Meng is still young, he is not yet 21 years old, he still has enough time and opportunity to complete the feat of 4 doubles or even 5 doubles in the playoffs, he has the ability. Although he lost the game, the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, did not feel the slightest unhappiness when he was interviewed by the media, but praised Meng Xu's performance in this game.

"Meng's quasi-four pairs? It's a shame that not everyone will have this opportunity to make history, but even if Meng didn't complete the feat of a playoff quadruple-double, his performance in this game is enough to go down in history. After the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, almost all the media were overwhelmingly reporting on Meng Xu's quasi-quadruple-doubles and Meng Xu's attitude of treating data as a mustard.

"There's no doubt that Meng is now one of the best players in the league, and since he entered the league, I've been very optimistic about him, you know, he's my successor, and in this game, Meng has played like me." As the successor hand-picked by Larry Bird, when Meng Xu staged the exact same feat as Larry Bird in the game, media reporters will naturally find Larry Bird and let Larry Bird come out to brush a wave of presence, but Larry Bird still expressed his appreciation for Meng Xu and his expectations for Meng Xu's future as always.

"I shouldn't say anything more from my capacity, but from a fan's point of view, it's really a pity。。。。。。。" Even NBA President David Stern was unwilling to be lonely, and even said very vaguely that he was already a fan of Meng Xu.
