Chapter 302: Historical-level Data Brush
After the official timeout in the second quarter, the main lineups of the two teams returned to the court, relying on the excellent play of the bench lineup, the Pacers led the Wizards by 6 points at 40-34 after the official timeout, and this year's second-round pick Bobby Simmons also performed very well after playing, shooting 3 of 5 in the half quarter, scoring 7 points and 2 assists, which can be said to be very right for his order.
Meng Xu rushed to the basket again, does Meng want to go to the basket? No, Meng Xu chose to pass the ball" After the game restarted, Meng Xu gave up the style of play in the first quarter and began to choose the ball after the breakthrough, due to Meng Xu's breakthrough lethality in the first quarter, when Meng Xu returned to the court, the Wizards began to shrink the basket, so when Meng Xu rushed to the basket again, the Wizards' center Kristen Leitner, power forward Jahidi White, all pressed into the paint area, plus the Pacers' center Jermaine O'Neal, the current basket can be said to be very crowded. At the same time, after the Wizards contracted, the Pacers now have 2 players who are vacant at the same time, James Posey, who plays power forward, on the offensive end, Larry Bird's arrangement for him is not to go to the basket hand-to-hand combat, to move around the two bottom corners on the left and right sides, and to open up space for Meng Xu's breakthrough when attracting the opponent's defense, and after Jahidi White gave up the defense of James Posey and went to the basket, James Posey in the bottom left corner is now empty. And after Meng Xu got rid of Jordan, Hamilton also let Reggie Miller empty because of Meng Xu's defense, so now Meng Xu rushed to about 3 meters away from the basket, and passed the ball to Reggie Miller on the right side of the 3-point line behind him without hesitation, and Reggie Miller did not waste Meng Xu's coquettish back pass, and hit an empty 3-point shot.
"Nice back pass." When Meng Xu assisted Reggie Miller to score, Magic Johnson is undoubtedly the most excited one in the entire bankers life arena, more excited than the Pacers fans behind him, since this season Meng Xu joined the Pacers at the invitation of Larry Bird, because of the bet between the two, Magic Johnson is full of resentment towards Larry Bird, but after seeing that Meng Xu still maintains the style of play last season, the stone in Magic Johnson's heart has also landed. Although Magic Johnson is very aware of Larry Bird's character, he still has some doubts that Larry Bird will artificially change Meng Xu's style of play like Popovich.
"Meng boy, I can't see it, you are so young, how can you fight like an old man?" Looking at Meng Xu, who was retreating from his side, Jordan said with some dissatisfaction, in the first quarter, Jordan and Meng Xu's confrontation, Jordan couldn't stop, originally Jordan wanted to continue to fight with Meng Xu like this, but Meng Xu suddenly played with the ball in the second quarter. When Jordan and Meng Xu were their age, they still wanted to score and win the scoring title, until they experienced consecutive failures and joined the Bulls with Phil Jackson, Jordan began to become willing to share the ball, and this change, as the saying in the basketball world is a mature style of play, I didn't expect Meng Xu to have this style of play when he was young.
"Michael, how do the two of us look, it's you who are older!" Of course, Meng Xu knew what Jordan meant when he said that he had an old style of play, but he just deliberately pretended not to understand, after all, in this game, Meng Xu was the first time in his career to be the boss, and everything was still being explored and tried. After playing with Duncan for two seasons, Meng Xu is now trying to use Duncan's way to lead the team, so Meng Xu is also very concerned about the attitude of his teammates, after all, how you are going against the sky alone, you still have to rely on your teammates to win the game, and besides, you are cool in the first quarter, and it is time to make your teammates happy.
When it comes to offense, Jordan hasn't served anyone yet, even if he is old now, relying on his amazing back-to-back turn-back jumper, as long as Jordan wants to score, no one can stop him. But when it comes to assisting teammates, although Jordan is also a fierce man who once brushed 3 pairs with Magic, Meng Xu has played a season in organizing defenders after all, and he has played very well, and Jordan's teammates are obviously not as powerful as Meng Xu, so when Meng Xu played passing, Jordan also had a feeling of dilemma, and Meng Xu fought for assists? Obviously not, so when Meng Xu began to lead his teammates, Jordan did not face Meng Xu.
"Reggie." After Jordan succeeded in singleing Reggie Miller again, Meng Xu also called Reggie Miller, although Meng Xu did not say it explicitly, but the meaning was still obvious, Meng Xu wanted to switch Jordan with Reggie Miller, but according to Reggie Miller's temper, eighty percent was unwilling to admit defeat like this.
Sure enough, after hearing Meng Xu shouting at himself, Reggie Miller gritted his teeth and waved his hand at Meng Xu.
"Jamal Tinsley hit a 3-pointer, and the Wizards are having a hard time now." In the next few minutes, Meng Xu never attacked by himself, but continued to attract the Wizards' defense by breaking through, and passed the ball to his teammates, from Reggie Miller, to James Posey, to Jamal Tinsley, only Jermaine O'Neal, because of the relationship with the Wizards' two interior hand-to-hand combat, only received one pass from Meng Xu, the other three players of the Pacers, each of them got at least 3 more shots, and their shooting rates were amazingly high, Reggie Miller 3 of 4 pointers, James Posey was 2 of 4, Jamal Tinsley was 2 of 3, and the Pacers' 3-point rain directly blinded the Wizards, although in this period, Jordan scored 9 points again and increased his score to 25 points, but the Pacers led the Wizards by 15 points 63-48. It stands to reason that the Wizards should call a timeout to interrupt the Pacers' feel at this time, but the second quarter is about to end with less than a minute, and at this time, it doesn't seem to make sense to call a timeout.
"In 5 minutes and 21 seconds, Meng Xu delivered 8 assists, and this game should be going for 3 doubles again." Before the half of the game was over, Meng Xu got 17 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, if nothing else, Meng Xu should be very easy to get a 3-double data in this game, since last season, Meng Xu has become the player with the most 3-double times in a single season, far ahead of Jason Kidd, who is in second place, and in the first game of this season, Meng Xu is going to get 3 doubles.
"Al, this is the biggest difference between Meng and Michael, if you talk about offensive means and offensive ability, this league is not better than buying Michael, but when it comes to the ability to drive teammates, I don't think Michael will be stronger than Meng, in this regard, Meng's ability can definitely be ranked in the forefront of the entire history." Magic Johnson has always believed that Meng Xu should be his successor, and his style of play is more like himself than Larry Bird, and they both have a historic ability to fly with their teammates.
"That's true, Erwin." Accustomed to watching Meng Xu's game, Michaels also very much agrees with Magic Johnson's opinion, Mario Elie and Sean Etellio, veterans in the twilight of their careers can rejuvenate the second quarter of spring in the hands of Meng Xu, according to ABC statistics, in the Spurs, no matter who the shooting rate is after receiving Meng Xu's pass, it is at least 5 percentage points higher than the shooting rate after receiving the pass from other players, which is why Meng Xu ranks first in the league in basketball usage rate and assist ratio, And this is also called the own offensive system by the bricks in the basketball world.
"That's the true value of Meng." At this moment, Larry Bird on the sidelines also had a satisfied smile on his face, Larry Bird was the first group of people to realize that Meng Xu had his own system, and Larry Bird also knew the value of Meng Xu best, so after Larry Bird returned to the helm of the Pacers, he set the goal of bringing Meng Xu to Indiana no matter what, and persuaded the team's owner and board of directors to get a $20 million luxury tax commitment. And as long as there is Meng Xu, and in the next few seasons, a complete lineup is built around Meng Xu, even if the ball has no tactics, XJBD, which only relies on Meng Xu as the core, has enough probability to win the championship.
