Chapter 251: East Messimon

"Pretty, so pretty." When Meng Xu once again sacrificed the same breakthrough method as the breakthrough just now, this time Meng Xu's layup was very simply hollow into the net, with Meng Xu's layup, Michaels stood up directly from the commentary seat, while applauding Meng Xu with the audience, while constantly praising Meng Xu's attack.

After the beginning of the second quarter, Meng Xu just held the ball and faced Maddie, basically the same as the last time, Meng Xu shook off Maddie with an acceleration change of direction, and then changed direction twice in a row to avoid Carter and Anthony Mason Jr., facing the empty basket, Meng Xu hit a layup very easily. Looking at Meng Xu's drastic change of direction and the breakthrough that his body was almost close to the ground, Michaels was also worried in his heart whether Meng Xu would hurt his ankle in any breakthrough.

"It is still possible to make such a breakthrough, Meng Xu's breakthrough method is really unprecedented." Far away in the capital of the Celestial Empire, in the studio hall of CCAV, when the picture of Meng Xu's breakthrough layup was transmitted to CCAV through the live broadcast satellite, Zhang Lili, a famous teacher in the history of basketball in the Celestial Empire, couldn't help but let out a burst of admiration. Originally, Meng Xu's breakthrough in the first quarter, Mr. Zhang Lili was shocked and used up all the adjectives in his mind to describe Meng Xu's breakthrough, but in the end, Meng Xu's layup did not score, which also made Mr. Zhang Lili's old face red, and this time, Meng Xu finally lived up to Mr. Zhang's expectations.

"It's true, I really can't think of anyone else who can use this way of breaking through, the speed is so fast, the range of change of direction is so large, or the continuous change of direction without slowing down, this way of breaking through is simply impossible to defend." Following Mr. Zhang's words, Xu Cheng, who began to explain the NBA this year, continued to speak.

。。。。。。。

It was the turn of the Eastern All-Stars to attack, this time Carter did not hand over the basketball to Iverson after receiving the baseline ball from Mutombo in the backcourt, or directly passed the long pass to the front court to launch a fast break, but directly advanced the ball slowly through the half, just after Carter dribbled through the center circle, Carter handed the basketball to Maddy, who was already waiting on the left side outside the 3-point line. Meng Xu hit Maddie just now, so according to the unspoken rules, Maddie should return one, and Carter is still Maddie's cousin, at this time, although Carter doesn't have to stand up for Maddie, Carter is also afraid that Iverson will not follow the rules, after all, Iverson is famous for his love of ball, Iverson's desire to attack, even Carter himself is ashamed of himself.

After receiving the ball, Maddie glanced at his cousin in the distance, and when he saw his cousin Carter nodding at him, Maddie's heart was also moved, and soon, facing Meng Xu who rushed up to defend him, Maddie pinched the basketball with one hand, his body was slightly sideways, and his steps were separated.

"Tracy, remember the game we had in the Waterhouse Center? Now this stage is bigger than there, and now, let's move on to that unfinished showdown. "The stage without an opponent is lonely and lonely, and it is precisely because of Larry Bird that Magic Johnson is even greater, and Larry Bird is the same. And the reason why Jordan retired was also because of the lack of an opponent with sufficient weight. And Meng Xu, since the beginning of this season, has always regarded Kobe and Maddie as his biggest opponents in the future, and every duel with Kobe Maddie, it will also make Meng Xu feel bloody, so in this game, when Meng Xu saw the uninterested Maddie, Meng Xu now wants to stimulate his fighting spirit and let the two have a bloody anser-ball again.

"Do you want to continue the showdown between us?" After hearing Meng Xu remind himself in his ear, Maddie also remembered that game again, although his team lost, but the duel with Meng Xu in that game made him feel extremely happy and comfortable, and then just for a moment, Maddie, who was still sleepy-eyed, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and turned into a sharp sword that had been unsheathed.

"Meng, I'm not going to be polite." After Maddie shouted at Meng Xu in a low voice, a feint on the spot, and then stepped out towards the left side of Meng Xu's body, after being blocked by Meng Xu, Maddie made two cross-steps in front of Meng Xu, and at the same time that Meng Xu followed his continuous shaking, Maddie suddenly took a step back, jumped directly outside the 3-point line, and hit the 3-point dry pull.

"Tracy's shooting is just so floaty." Larry Bird on the commentary bench was also impressed by Maddie's shot, every action of Maddie just now, from dribbling to feints, to the final step back and dry pull-up and jump, is so beautiful, even after the jump, the body in the air is so stretched, this is a highly talented, and at the same time the play is also very ornamental.

"I think at this point, Meng Xu's performance is not inferior." Just after Larry Bird's words fell, Magic Johnson directly pulled Meng Xu out to refute Larry Bird. And back on the court, after Maddie pulled out Meng Xu once, this time the Western All-Stars attacked, Kidd also handed over the basketball to Meng Xu again, and all the rest of the Western All-Stars also pulled away, letting Meng Xu go to have a one-on-one duel with Maddie.

And this time Meng Xu did not break through Maddie, but took a step forward with the basketball in his left hand, made a move to break through and shook Maddie, and then then changed hands to the right side to break through, and at the same time semi-sideways to protect the ball, the left corner * crossed step, followed by a right shoulder turnover, in one back turn after another, one step to the left side of Maddie, and then retreated to the spot and jumped sideways, when Meng Xu's series of actions were completed, Maddie could only pounce on Meng Xu very reluctantly, But by the time Maddie jumped to interfere with Meng Xu, the basketball in Meng Xu's hand had already been thrown.

When Meng Xu hit this goal, the entire MCI Center Arena, including the Western All-Star bench, all the people were boiling, and David Robinson and Nowitzki rushed to the sidelines very exaggeratedly waving the towel in their hands, and the big fat man in the suit and leather shoes also opened his mouth wide, looking at Meng Xu who was high-five and Duncan on the court in disbelief.

"Meng Xu and Tracy may be the most watchful players in the league right now." In just one round, Michaels put a very big hat on the duel between Meng Xu and Maddie.

"Yes, Meng Xu and Tracy are undoubtedly the two best small forwards in the league now, and they play in a way that is very similar to Anfernee and Grant back then, maybe after Scotty, Anfernee and Grant, the league will once again usher in two talented small forwards." Now Larry Bird looked at Meng Xu and Maddie, who were still facing off on the court, and also sighed, just 7 or 8 years ago, that is, not long after he retired, this league ushered in a prosperous era of small forwards, Scottie Pippen, who gradually entered the peak, and Anfernee Hardaway, Glenn Robinson and Grant Hill, who had just entered the league, but with Pippen's aging and Hardaway's injury, Hill and Robinson have never been able to prove their ability to lead the team, so the small forward position, Since Larry Bird and Pippen, there has never been a supergiant, and now the duel between Meng Xu and Maddie, as well as the talent the two are now showing, undoubtedly means that this league will once again usher in a small forward boom.

"Larry, Meng and Tracy are not small forwards, Tracy is playmaking guard now, and Meng is playmaking guard now, playmaking guard." After Larry Bird said the words of the extraordinarily talented small forward, Magic Johnson immediately began to refute him, and when he said Meng Xu, his tone was repeated heavily.

"Tracy, pretty, very nice pullup jumper." Seeing that the quarrel between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson would break out again, Michaels, who was sitting between the two, also began to change the topic at the right time.

Just after Maddie's jumper hit, after the last 3-point miss, Meng Xu gave up fighting with Maddie for 3 points, but rushed to the basket again, this time the All-Stars in the East faced Meng Xu's breakthrough, and still had no way to deal with it. Now the cheers and cheers of the entire MCI Center Arena are wave after wave, and the duel between Meng Xu and Maddie is really exciting.

On the court, whether it is the Eastern All-Star or the Western All-Star, they are creating opportunities for the showdown between Meng Xu and Maddie, and Meng Xu and Maddie are also inseparable on the court, and at the same time, the two of them have no way to prevent each other now, whether it is Maddie's dry pulling, or the kind of stop-and-go jump shot after lateral movement, or Meng Xu's shaking on the spot, or even Meng Xu's weird and crazy breakthrough method, it is an offensive method that is impossible to defend. In the end, when the substitution time came again in the second quarter, in these 6 minutes, Meng Xu shot 6 of 9 and 3 of 5 3-pointers, scoring 15 points. Maddy, on the other hand, also scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, 2-of-4 3-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

"It's a great matchup." Pat Riley, who was sitting in the audience, also gave his heartfelt applause and praise to Meng Xu and Maddie.
