Chapter 47 Dirty Defense

Under the circumstances that the shooting feel was mediocre and there was no way to break through, Anthony Walker finally changed his offensive method and resorted to his best post-up singles. Get to the edge of the paint and turn back for a jumper.

Popovich called a timeout after Anthony Walker scored twice in a row with this near-rogue approach.

"Meng, your defense is too clean, don't you want to compete for this season's morality award?" As soon as he returned to the bench, he heard Popovich yelling at Meng Xu.

"Well, I understand." Looking at the furious Popovich, Meng Xu nodded.The Spurs are one of the teams with the oldest average age in the entire league. The shortcomings are obvious, and there are many advantages, that is, rich game experience, including David Robinson, Sean Etrio, Avery Johnson, Mario- Eli, Jalen Jackson, are all veterans who have been in the league for more than 10 years. In normal training, Meng Xu has been played by these people a lot, and these people have taught him everything. Meng Xu has a lot of experience in offense and defense, but most of them are small moves, such as pushing knees, kicking ankles, stepping on toes, and even how to use such small moves secretly, including how to escape the eyes of the referee.

A healthy body is the capital of a player, and many of these small moves are dangerous. If they are not done well, or if they fail to grasp the scale, they may cause injuries to the opponent. I have seen too many talented players die because of injuries. However, even the former head of the Spurs, David Robinson also fell from the peak due to injuries.So in Meng Xu's heart, he was somewhat resistant to these small actions.

"Meng, don't have too much burden. Cheers, applause and injuries are all part of the game." Assistant coach Mike Budenholzer comforted Meng Xu, who had a strange expression on his face.

After the game restarted, Anthony Walker played back singles with the ball again. Meng Xu quickly stuck up and used all his strength to withstand Anthony Walker's back.

"You're really pure. Don't worry about whether Anthony Walker will get hurt. You should think about how to complete the task." Just as Meng Xu was still struggling with his thoughts, Anna's voice came out at the right time. appeared in the ear.

Only 3 minutes into the second quarter, Anthony Walker scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. According to his current offensive momentum, if he cannot find an effective way to deal with his post-up singles, Anthony Walker will win this game. It's not hard to get under 30 points.

"Let the wicked be the wicked." After making up his mind, Meng Xu resisted Anthony Walker and stretched his right foot to a distance of less than 5 centimeters from his heel.

Just as Anthony Walker moved forward twice and arched back vigorously, Meng Xu let go of the hands that pushed Anthony Walker, made a posture of being pushed away by Anthony Walker, and then moved his right foot towards Anthony Walker's heel kick away.

The moment Anthony Walker exerted his strength, there was no support behind him. Coupled with the sudden pain in his heel, Anthony Walker sat down on the ground directly, and the basketball was also dropped.

Glancing at Anthony Walker lying on the ground, Meng Xu rushed towards the basketball rolling in the frontcourt. After successfully picking up the basketball, Meng Xu scored two points with a one-handed dunk.

After the dunk, Meng Xu didn't celebrate, but quickly ran to Anthony Walker who hadn't got up yet, trying to pull him away.

"Bastard, get out of here." Anthony Walker, who was pulled up by his teammates, pushed Meng Xu away and limped away.

"Fatty, don't be too arrogant." Seeing Meng Xu being pushed and staggering, Samaki Walker rushed up immediately and shouted loudly at Anthony Walker.Duncan on the side, Antonio Daniels also quickly surrounded him.

"Samaki, don't be impulsive." With apologies to Anthony Walker, Meng Xu stepped forward and hugged Samaki-Walker.Meng Xu is still very grateful for these teammates who stand up for him, but now that the team is leading, an outbreak of conflict will only be detrimental to the Spurs.

Hearing Samaki Walker yelling from behind, Anthony Walker, who had already walked away, finally couldn't control himself and turned back again. The Celtics players on the field also stepped forward to hold Anthony Walker.

Soon the referee on duty blew a technical foul for Anthony Walker and Samaki Walker, and a conflict that was about to spark was quelled in this way.

"Boy, you're really dirty." Anthony Walker held the ball with one hand and turned sideways to Meng Xu. After the words fell, Anthony Walker lowered his body weight and put his shoulders on Meng Xu.

"Beep" As soon as Anthony Walker exerted his strength, he found Meng Xu made an exaggerated movement, his body flew backwards, and lay straight on the ground. The referee on duty immediately whistled Anthony Walker for an offensive foul.

"Fack, this kid is flopping, he's flopping." Seeing Meng Xu clutching his chest with a painful expression on his face, Anthony Walker immediately dropped the basketball and went to the referee on duty to argue.

"Are you questioning my penalty?" The referee held a whistle in his hand and stared at Anthony Walker with a serious face.

"Anthony, calm down." Pierce behind him immediately stopped Anthony Walker who was still chattering.

"Greg, I just realized now that this kid still has some brains."

When Meng Xu was pulled up from the ground by other Spurs players, the assistant coach of the Spurs was also a little excited and said in Popovich's ear that Meng Xu's two defenses just now can be said to be very smart.In the case where the body bounce is not as good as the opponent, appropriate small movements can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and this is basically an unspoken rule in the league. For this kind of secret confrontation between players, the referee on duty is also invisible. Jing, as long as you don't let me see, you can play whatever you want.

In terms of using small moves, there are many master players in the league, and Stockton of the Jazz is one of the leaders. Rodman even publicly criticized him as the dirtiest player in the league. special care.

Seeing Meng Xu's performance on the court, Popovich is also very satisfied at the moment. Meng Xu's defensive awareness and anticipation are top-notch, but due to the influence of physical fitness, facing some players who rely on physical talent to play , is often powerless.Moreover, Meng Xu's defensive moves in the past were too clean, so clean that Popovich was a little speechless. Originally, Popovich thought that Meng Xu had little game experience and would not use small moves reasonably. Popovich even instructed the Spurs to Some old players imparted some "experience" to Meng Xu. Even though they have used these "experiences" very proficiently on the training ground, it is rare to see Meng Xu use these small tricks on the court.
