"38 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, a triple-double in the first game of the comeback, Meng Xu is back!"

"The old Spurs defeated the defending champion, and Meng Xu announced with facts: I am still the king of this league!"

"The defending champions lost the first game of the new season, and the Spurs are the favorites to win the championship this season!"

On October 31, 2012, the day after the opening game of the new NBA season, almost all the media in the United States were reporting on the first game of the new season between the Heat and the Spurs. It has made countless media look down on the Heat's road to defending the title, and they can play like this when they meet the Spurs, so what if they meet the Lakers?

Although there are only three games in the opening game of the new season, this game between the Spurs and the Heat is undoubtedly the most important of all three games, and it is the focus of everyone's attention. As for the Spurs, because the style of play has not been pretty, and Duncan is not as good as a year after year, so the attention of the Spurs is getting lower and lower, and the number of live broadcasts in the United States last season has even ranked tenth, but with the addition of Meng Xu, the number of live broadcasts in the United States of the Spurs immediately soared to the first place in the league, two more than the Heat, although Meng Xu has been retired for four seasons, but Meng Xu's influence and fan base are still very large.

In addition, there are many neutral fans who also want to see what kind of level Meng Xu has after his comeback, so the Heat's home game against the Spurs has become a game that the whole United States pays attention to, and in the game, Meng Xu not only showed a very good game state, but also led a group of old men of the Spurs to defeat the defending champion with the Big Three away from home, how can such a result not make people crazy?

Just when the whole country is talking about the Spurs and the Heat's new season opener, the Spurs have already left Miami and flew to Indianapolis, after Meng Xu's comeback, David Stern's new season schedule for the Spurs is also hard work, after defeating the Heat in the opening game, the Spurs will play against Meng Xu's old club Pacers on the road, and after the game with the Pacers, the Spurs will also face the Celtics, Pistons and Knicks, basically Meng Xu's sworn enemies in the East, Spurs are going to have a lap next to each other in the new season.

On November 1st, the Spurs played away against the Pacers, when Meng Xu was the first to walk out of the players' tunnel, Meng Xu was greeted by more than 20,000 spectators chanting in unison, and the audience in the entire Bankers Life Arena were all wearing Meng Xu's No. 5 Pacers jersey.

Although Meng Xu has only played for the Pacers for 7 seasons, if you want to select the greatest star in the history of the Pacers, then it must definitely be Meng Xu, because the honors that the Pacers now have are basically brought by Meng Xu, and it is precisely because of Meng Xu that the Pacers have jumped from a second-rate team with little background to a giant alongside the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls.

In fact, to put it mildly, the Pacers are still good to Meng Xu, during Meng Xu's tenure, the Pacers gave Meng Xu a lot of power, and Meng Xu's opinions can often influence the Pacers' draft and trade strategies, and after Meng Xu retired, the Pacers also chose to continue to implement the contract with Meng Xu, and paid a total salary of $53 million for three seasons for Meng Xu, who had retired at home.

And after Meng Xu chose to make a comeback for the Pacers, the Pacers management, who had been looking forward to it, was naturally hit, but even so, from the owner of the Pacers to the head coach Rick Carlisle, they did not say anything about Meng Xu, but after the Spurs officially announced Meng Xu's comeback, they also posted a long article expressing Meng Xu's blessings.

"Hello, Herbert."

"Hello, David."

"Hello, Larry."

After the appearance ceremony, Meng Xu walked directly to the sideline and hugged Herbert Simon, the owner of the Pacers, David Simon, the son of the deceased Melvin Simon, and Larry Bird, the president of basketball affairs of the Pacers, who were waiting there.

"Welcome back, kid." After Meng Xu retired, Herbert Simon, who had never been to the Banker's Life Arena again, learned that Meng Xu would come back today, regardless of his 90-year-old body, came to the scene in person, and sat on the sidelines, waiting for Meng Xu there.

"Thank you, Herbert." Meng Xu has always been very respectful of Herbert Simon and the deceased Melvin Simon, because as a businessman, they have never made a profit as the purpose of running a Pacer, and such an owner is undoubtedly the type of boss that every player likes.

"When will you come back to pick up my shift?" Originally, Meng Xu thought that when he saw Larry Bird again, the expressions of both parties would be very embarrassing, because Larry Bird sent away Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey, NN-Hilario, and Tyshawn Prince one after another, because of the champions who won the championship, Meng Xu used the person he used to hate the most, to describe the current Larry Bird, these words will undoubtedly make Larry Bird's heart very uncomfortable, so Meng Xu asked himself, with Larry Bird's temper, I will never forgive myself, but I didn't expect that in this meeting, Larry Bird not only took the problems that happened before as completely inappropriate, but also directly invited Meng Xu to enter the management of the Pacers.

"Larry, even if I really can't play in the future, I won't directly manage a team." After hearing Meng Xu's vague rejection of himself, Larry Bird, who thought that Meng Xu was still angry with himself, heard a sentence that made him cry and laugh: "I want to start with the coach first, because I want you to see that I not only play better than you, but I am also better than you as a head coach, and after that, I will consider becoming a general manager or something, of course, even if I am a head coach, I will be better than you." “

"Hahahaha, then I'll wait for you."

"Don't think about it, I didn't promise you anything."

After smiling at each other, Larry Bird and Meng Xu hugged each other again, compared to the hug of interest just now, Larry Bird and Meng Xu hugged each other tightly this time.
