Chapter 479: Crazy Dunk
"Rick's change, it looks like it's going to fail! I really can't figure it out, what is the purpose of his change of formation? On the bench of the Pacers, Lester Connell chatted with Larry Bird with a relaxed face, the Pacers, who had already led by a large score, quickly gained the upper hand after the start of this game, and returned to the No. 3 position Meng Xu, who showed a strong desire to attack in this game, and in the first few games, Artest, who caused a lot of trouble to Meng Xu, completely lost his level on the defensive end in this game, and several consecutive offenses were embarrassed by Meng Xu's feints.
"Rick isn't changing, he's betting, he's betting that Meng's form is not good. Hehe, every gambler thinks that the opponent will play according to their own arrangement, thinks they will win, thinks they can have the last laugh, but they will lose all in the end, so Lester, you have to keep this in mind, never put the bet on the expectation that the opponent will make mistakes, and the most important thing is to have the initiative yourself. "I have to say that Larry Bird still knows his little brother very well, Rick Carlisle, who has no way out, is likely to give it a go in this game, but Larry Bird doesn't think that Rick Carlisle will win the bet, put the bet on Meng Xu, expect Meng Xu to play abnormally, and look forward to Artest being able to defend Meng Xu one-on-one, which is an unrealistic thing in itself.
"I remember, Larry." Lester Connell nodded to Larry Bird.
"This kind of game is interesting to watch, although Meng's passing is also very beautiful, but in comparison, I still want to see Meng Xu continue to cut points, especially this elegant and chic lever to get rid of action and ecstasy, which is more enjoyable than going to the cinema to watch Hollywood blockbusters!" As Meng Xu got rid of Artest again and again, rushed to the basket again and again, and then contributed one beautiful pull-up layup after another, the atmosphere in the Banker's Life Arena became more and more enthusiastic, and the cheers of the fans on the scene also rose higher and higher.
"That's right, that's it, watching Meng play is simply a pleasure! Oh, here we go again, it's too stretchy, it's too drifting! Mark, let's cheer and applaud a little more! ”
"Rick, if you continue to arrange for this guy to defend me alone, I'll score 60 points today." Meng Xu, who fell from the air, happened to pass by Rick Carlisle who was standing on the sidelines in the process of retreating, looking at Rick Carlisle's serious expression, Meng Xu slowed down and made a move that made the Pistons' bench angry, and after Meng Xu provoked Rick Carlisle, there was an insult on the Pistons' bench.
"Slut, although this is your home turf, don't be too arrogant! If you've been so uninteresting, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride. Artest, who was entangled with Meng Xu, deliberately slowed down, pinched Meng Xu's waist with one hand, and said viciously to Meng Xu, In Artest's dictionary, there has never been the words fear and retreat, Jordan, I dare to elbow him a few ribs, let alone you, anyway, we are about to be eliminated, and I don't mind pulling you to be buried with me.
"Ron, I think you should go to E to develop, where you can give full play to your acting talent, you are the same, to scare those rookies who have just entered the league, maybe even they won't eat you." Meng Xu said as he made a feint that wanted to move sideways to trap Starkhouse, and Starhouse, who received Billups' pass, immediately transferred the basketball in his hand to Artest on Meng Xu's side after discovering Meng Xu's intentions.
"Now it's time for revenge and revenge." Artest, who received a pass from Starhouse, just took a step to prepare for a breakthrough, and found that Meng Xu had retracted his footsteps, just in front of him, and at the same time covered his route to pass the basketball back to Starkhouse, while Clever-Robinson, who was in the other direction, was entangled by Jermaine O'Neal, at this time, Artest either chose to play alone, or call his teammates to cover, otherwise with Artest's ability to control the ball, it would be very dangerous to be exposed to Meng Xu's defense for a long time, In the end, after holding Meng Xu on the one hand and protecting the ball on the spot for more than two seconds, Artest decided to single Meng Xu. Because in this round of the series, Artest put most of his energy on the defensive end, so he was able to contribute 16 points per game in the regular season, and Artest scored 20+6+4 data in the first round of the playoffs, in the series with the Pacers, the average number of shots per game was only 7 times, and the average score per game dropped to only 6.5 points.
Artest's physical fitness is the top among the outside players in the entire league, and the bulldozer-style breakthrough was Artest's logo during the Bulls period, but since coming to the Pistons, due to the team's tactical needs, Artest rarely holds the ball and breaks through, and this time, Artest is ready to try a breakthrough in front of Meng Xu that he hasn't used for a long time.
However, after hitting the side twice in a row, Artest found that his previous invincible tricks were ineffective in the face of Meng Xu, just when Artest increased his strength to the maximum and was about to crash towards Meng Xu, Artest suddenly felt that his front was empty, and Artest, who had no time to retract his footsteps, was directly a stumbling, his body lost his balance, rushed forward, and almost fell on the court mountain.
And Artest's afterglow also found that Meng Xu, who was defending him just now, had picked up the basketball that fell out of his hand and rushed towards the Pistons' backcourt.
I have to say that although Stackhouse doesn't like the defense very much, his reaction speed is still not to be said, maybe his eyes have been on Meng Xu from beginning to end, so after Meng Xu stole Artest to launch a fast attack, Stackhouse retreated to the backcourt as soon as possible.
It's just obvious that even if Stackhouse has retreated ahead of Meng Xu, and even when Meng Xu dribbles through the middle circle at high speed, Stackhouse is still slightly ahead of Meng Xu, but with Meng Xu's sprint speed, he will definitely surpass Stackhouse before entering the paint area. And Starhouse's simple retreat doesn't make any sense, if you can't delay Meng Xu's offense in the process of Meng Xu's fast attack, and wait for the help of his teammates, then with Meng Xu's strength, even if Stackhouse retreats to the basket one step ahead of Meng Xu, it is impossible to stop Meng Xu.
"Jerry, lean up, lean up, lean up!" Seeing the two people who were about to cross the 3-point line, Rick Carlisle on the sidelines shouted at Stackhouse who was running wildly, only Stackhouse rushed up and posted Meng Xu, in order to delay Meng Xu's fast attack, in order to buy time for his teammates who were retreating, otherwise Stackhouse's retreat would be in vain.
Just when Stackhouse rushed towards Meng Xu's route under the shouting of Rick Carlisle, the next scene that happened made Stackhouse unforgettable for life, Stackhouse was like being hit by a car in high-speed motion, he lost his balance directly, staggered and fell into the paint area, and slid forward for a full two meters before stopping, Stackhouse, who fell to the ground, still did not give up while shocking Meng Xu's strength, Instead, he relied on inertia to get up again, and after getting up, Starhouse suddenly found that Meng Xu's figure was missing in front of him.
"Jerry, get out of the way!" Just when Stackhouse was still wondering, Billups's shout suddenly sounded behind Stackhouse, and subconsciously looked back, Stackhouse saw a figure directly hit him, and Stackhouse, who had just stood up from the ground, was hit to the ground by this black shadow again. With a loud bang from the basket, Starkerhouse's head exploded, and he was dunked, and he must have been dunked.
"Beautiful dunk! The perfect riding buckle! Crazy dunk! ”
Meng Xu, who got off Starkhouse, rushed out of the bottom line directly, opened his arms, and roared at the camera behind the basket, and for a while, on the press bench behind the basket, the flash kept flashing, and the group of reporters kept pressing the shutter, wanting to record this crazy scene.
"Although Jerry is not an inside liner, and his height is less than two meters, I still have to say that Meng Xu's dunk to Jerry is definitely a great dunk!" After Meng Xu dunked Starkerhouse, the big screen at the Banker's Life Arena also began to play the picture over and over again, and Magic Johnson and Michaels also began to discuss Meng Xu's dunk.
In the fast break just now, just when Meng Xu had already rushed past the 3-point line and was about to reach the free throw line, Starkerhouse, who was still half a body ahead of Meng Xu, leaned directly towards Meng Xu, wanting to take a step ahead of Meng Xu and occupy his route to the basket, and at the same time forced Meng Xu to slow down, but Starhouse was directly knocked out by Meng Xu, and Meng Xu, who collided with Starhouse, also took advantage of the situation to step on the free throw line and jumped, originally even if Meng Xu dunked successfully, It's just an ordinary dunk jumping from the free-throw line. However, Starkerhouse, who was knocked into by Meng Xu, got up from the ground just right when Meng Xu was about to approach the basket, and was directly ridden on the shoulder by Meng Xu.
"MD, what kind of ability is it to detain someone shorter than you." As the saying goes, often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, even the great god Jordan has been the background emperor, but not everyone can accept this kind of thing calmly, many players are after being ridden and buckled, they can't get over this hurdle in their hearts, and the final retirement, the more famous ones are the French center who was jumped by Carter, and the Cobra who was retired by Duncan and Meng Xu in a game. Therefore, after pulling up the trance-stricken Starkerhouse, Ben Wallace and Artest immediately rushed to Meng Xu, who was being worshiped by the fans on the sidelines, and wanted to be angry for Starhouse, although they were stopped by the referee on the sidelines in time, but Ben Wallace still scolded Meng Xu angrily when he left.
