"We're already thinking about the next round."

On May 30, 2006, in the visiting locker room of the American Airlines Arena in Miami, less than 3 hours before the start of the fourth game of the series between the Heat and the Pacers, and on the TV in the Pacers' locker room, the ABC television network was broadcasting a special feature about this round of the series, and interviews with the players on both sides before the start of the game. Almost all of the Pacers players in the locker room were solemn and angry.

After losing the second home court on May 25, the Pacers team set off for Miami, but in the first away game on May 28, the Pacers lost again, not only that, the Pacers' interior core Jermaine O'Neal was also injured in the game and will miss at least two games, so the public opinion of the Pacers is popular again, and O'Neal, who has won two games in a row, seems to feel that he has won the game, because as long as the Heat wins the home court on May 30, The Miami Heat were about to get the entire series, so in a pre-game interview with reporters, O'Neal proudly uttered the famous phrase "We're already thinking about the next round." “

We are already thinking about the next round, this sentence is a well-known sentence in the entire American sports world, Larry Bird and Meng Xu have used this sentence to mock the New York Knicks, and also mocked the Detroit Pistons, especially in the playoffs this season, before the division semifinals began, in the face of the provocation of Pistons forward Peja Stojakovic, Meng Xu said "We are already thinking about the next round", this extremely lethal sentence, as the Pacers finally swept the Pistons 4-0," We're already thinking about the next round", a phrase that once again became popular across the United States.

It is precisely because Meng Xu used this sentence to mock the Pistons in the last round against the Pistons, so when O'Neal used this sentence to disgust the Pacers when he was interviewed by reporters, the Pacers would be surprisingly angry, and what O'Neal is doing now makes them more uncomfortable than eating a fly.

"Okay, don't look at it, everybody." Seeing that the atmosphere in the dressing room was clearly wrong, Rick Carlisle turned off the TV and took out the tactical board that had been prepared in advance.

"The importance of today's game is self-evident, so we have to win this game, and only by going back to Indiana with a win can we win the whole series."

"Jermaine can't play today, so we're going to play small-ball today, NN, you play the No. 5 position, you won't get any help from your teammates today, you're going to face the big fat guy alone, remember, don't try to wrestle with him under the basket, just go around the front to defend him, and one thing, try to avoid fouls." Although the Pacers still have two interior lineups, Mutombo and Jeff Foster, after Jermaine O'Neal's injury, Rick Carlisle finally gave up the idea of starting Mutombo and prepared to line up a big and four small lineup today.

"James, you start today in the No. 4 position, TySean plays the No. 3 position today, Men plays the No. 2 position, and Tony continues to play the No. 1 position, according to the arrangement we set up in the afternoon training, to play this game."

。。。。。。

"Hey, Jermaine can't play today, otherwise we'd have equalised." In the press box of the American Airlines Center, several reporters from Indiana are unwillingly discussing this game, the injury and absence of the main interior Jermaine O'Neal is undoubtedly a very big blow to the Pacers, and the Pacers are now in an unfavorable situation of falling behind by a large score, so that these reporters from Indiana have no confidence in the past when they speak.

"Hmph, this group of hillbillies, it's like Jermaine plays, and the Pacers can win Yes, no matter who plays, the Pacers have only one result, and that is to lose." As Indiana's sworn enemy, the New York Times reporter, after hearing the discussion of the Indiana reporters near him, started the ridicule with disdain, because the New York Knicks are really not angry, so the New York Times according to the theory that the opponent's opponent is a friend, to support the opponent of the Pacers, after experiencing the disappointment of the Pistons, the Miami Heat finally made them feel that God has eyes, and the annoying Indiana Hillbilly can no longer be arrogant.

"Jerry, I know you're envious of us, who makes the Knicks so unscrupulous, you haven't done a live playoff interview in Madison in a few seasons? It's pathetic, I don't know when the next playoff interview you're going to do in Madison. "Because of the life-and-death hostile relationship between the Pacers and the Knicks, the relationship between Indiana and the New York media is getting worse and worse, especially these reporters who have been doing exclusive interviews on the scene, they don't like each other, and they sneer at each other at every turn, New York reporters scold Indiana reporters for being dirt buns, hillbillies, and Indiana reporters scold New York reporters for being nouveau riche and vampires.

"Hmph, when the game is over, I'll see if your mouth is still hard." The New York Times reporter who was choked by the Indiana reporter could only curse in his heart, the Pacers were brutally abused by the Heat today, who made the home team in New York so uncompetitive, as soon as he thought of this, the New York Times reporter greeted the Dowland family fiercely in his heart, if it weren't for this NC, the Knicks would not have fallen into the current situation.

Just when the reporter named Jerry was still secretly slandering Xiao Daolan, the American Airlines Center suddenly erupted in boos, and in a burst of boos, the visiting Pacers players began to walk out of the players' tunnel one after another, and when Meng Xu walked out of the players' tunnel for the last time, the boos on the scene reached its peak, which was also mixed with various invectives starting with F.

For these boos and abuse, Meng Xu has always maintained a smiling face, from the beginning of entering the league, Meng Xu has regarded this kind of boos and abuse as a welcome ceremony, the louder the away boo, the more excited Meng Xu is, so after walking out of the player tunnel, Meng Xu waved his arms and waved to these away fans who "welcomed" him.

"Meng is still as optimistic as ever." Michaels on the sideline commentary bench, after seeing Meng Xu waving his hand out of the player's tunnel, was amused by Meng Xu, waving to the away fans with boos, which can be regarded as Meng Xu's signature move, although he has seen it countless times, but every time he sees Meng Xu's appearance ceremony, Michaels can't help laughing.

After Meng Xu's special appearance ceremony, the boos on the scene came to an abrupt end, because after the Pacers, the Heat players who were playing at home began to play, compared to the boos when facing the visiting team, the home team was greeted by deafening cheers and applause, especially when Dwyane Wade and Shaq O'Neal came out, the fans at the scene applauded and shouted their names in unison.
