Chapter 51 The North Shore Gardens (2)

"It's over." Seeing Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer again, Pitino's heart was bleeding, and finally brought the point difference back to within 10. The rookie on the opposite side scored two consecutive 2-pointers after entering the field. The difference widened to 3 points again.

At this time, Anthony Walker also looked at Meng Xu with some confusion. Before this game, Anthony Walker really didn't think that a rookie averaging 8 points and 6 rebounds per game could pose any threat to himself.Although his defense is not good, his offensive ability is at the forefront of the league's front line, and he also has a 3-point ability that he thinks is good. It is not a matter of minutes to blow up this rookie.

Therefore, Anthony Walker is also very disdainful of Larry Bird's evaluation of Meng Xu, and believes that only he is worthy of the title of Larry Bird's second.

This year is the fourth season of Anthony Walker. Anthony Walker can be said to be very familiar with every player in the league's small forward position, whether it is facing an all-around small forward like Grant Hill or Vince Carter. Offensive small forwards, or some defensive small forwards in the league, Anthony Walker can do it with ease, and even if it is not good, it can also explode each other.

So in this game, Anthony Walker also returned to the small forward position. He wanted to teach this kid a lesson, but this kid's performance surprised him. If Anthony Walker is in some pain, then Meng Xu's long-range shooting ability now makes Anthony Walker a little jealous.

As a player with a height of 2 meters and a weight of more than 06 kilograms, Anthony Walker does not like to go inside, but likes to shoot, especially outside shots. Although he thinks he is the best in the league. But for those players with 110-point accuracy, Anthony Walker is still very envious.

"What an interesting little guy." Seeing Meng Xuna's extremely similar shooting posture to Larry Bird's, as well as his excellent 3-point ability, the cardinal in the box showed a long-lost smile, and even made an unprecedented shot. He picked up a cigar, put it under his nose and kept sniffing.

"Teacher." Seeing the cardinal picking up the cigar, Bill Russell was also nervous. After the cardinal was diagnosed with a heart attack, he quit his favorite cigar.

Meng Xu showed two extremes in this game. In the first three quarters of the game, he tried his best on the defensive end and played very selflessly on the offensive end. However, after playing in the last quarter, he began to attack the basket frantically. The 3 consecutive offenses all ended with 6-point shots from the outside. This desire to shoot is jaw-dropping.

"A combination of an angel and a devil, no wonder Larry said that this little guy is the most like himself." The cardinal put the cigar on the tea machine, put away his smile, and said calmly.

"I just don't know what his potential is." After hearing the cardinal's final evaluation, Bill Russell nodded, but he was still not optimistic about Meng Xu's physical talent.

"At least it won't be worse than it is now, isn't it!" The cardinal picked up the cigar again, and after lighting the cigar, he didn't put it in his mouth, but held it between his fingers, letting it burn slowly, Let the smell of cigars permeate every corner of the box.

"It's still 5 points away." After Meng Xu hit a 3-pointer again, the head coaches of both sides did not call a timeout, and the game continued on the court.Meng Xu hit two 3-pointers in a row after the opening, but then missed 3 shots. Although he was still very calm on the surface, after three consecutive strikes, Meng Xu was a little flustered in his heart. Hit 3 2-pointers.

Glancing at the sidelines, Meng Xu noticed that Popovich had a livid face, while Duncan was covering his mouth and snickering on the bench.Popovich is a coach who attaches great importance to teamwork and defense. In his team, there will be basically no wave shots and stats. Even Duncan, the core of the team's tactics, as long as he misses two shots, he will Give the next offensive opportunity to your teammates, and you can't shoot again until you recover your touch.

As for Meng Xu now, ignoring his teammates and shooting casually, he was simply provoking Popovich's bottom line. After seeing Duncan's malicious eyes, Meng Xu knew that after the game was over, he would definitely be defeated. Moldy.

After realizing his mistake and the inhuman treatment he might receive after the game, Meng Xu also felt a chill down his spine.

"Boy, don't be too arrogant, this is North Shore Garden." When Paul Pierce appeared outside the 3-point line with the ball, he saw Meng Xu who was coming to defend him, and said angrily.

Several times in a row, no matter how he defended him, this kid didn't take himself seriously at all, and just took off from outside the 3-point line to shoot. The kind of shot that didn't take off high and was slightly backward was very similar. Larry Bird, and after this kid made a shot, he imitated Larry Bird's celebration, and his lungs almost exploded.

"Be careful. Don't lose the ball." Looking at the angry Pierce, Meng Xu just smiled.Although he is a small forward, Pierce's ball control is still very good. Meng Xu tried several times without breaking the ball in his hands.

"Asshole." Pierce was also a little embarrassed when he thought of the embarrassing scene where Meng Xu almost stole the ball just a few rounds ago.

When Pierce was about to break through with the ball again, he encountered the same situation as before. Under Meng Xu's close defense, Pierce couldn't get rid of Meng Xu at all, but was constantly forced to the sideline by Meng Xu.

Seeing that he was about to rush out of the sideline with one more step, Pierce made an emergency stop, retracted his steps, and attempted to pass the basketball.But at the moment when he was about to pass the ball, Meng Xu posted it again. Pierce felt inexplicably nervous and dropped the basketball.

After the basketball that fell from Pierce was caught by Meng Xu, Meng Xu directly accelerated towards the frontcourt. With Meng Xu's straight-line acceleration ability, every Celtics player on the field could only catch up.

"It's so fast." Pierce behind Meng Xu was even more stunned, and even forgot to return to defense.

Unable to see the shocked expressions behind him, Meng Xu can only feel his speed getting faster and faster at this moment, and even the whistling wind can be heard in his ears. When he rushed to the free throw line with the ball, Meng Xu never Unable to control his footsteps, Meng Xu flew up more than one meter inside the free throw line.

With a bang, although the take-off height was not enough and his body began to drop before he even got close to the basket, Meng Xu still completed the dunk relying on his huge inertia and super long wingspan.
