"The craziest start ever!" On November 16, 2003, when the first nine rounds of the NBA season were all over, USA Today, one of the most professional basketball newspapers in the United States, used such a headline on the front page of its sports section. Compared with previous seasons, the strong teams have been unable to enter the state after the start of the new season, and staged various embarrassing scenes of overturning in the gutter, the first 9 rounds of games in this season are completely another picture, after the end of the 9 games after the start of the new season in the East, the Nets, who won 7 games, can now only rank fourth in the East, because in front of the Nets, the Pacers and the Heat, the records of the two teams, all 9 consecutive wins! After the Pistons lost to the Heat in the opener, they also won all eight games. In the West, the Mavericks also won 9 consecutive games at the beginning of the game, and after the Mavericks, the Spurs won 8-1 and the Timberwolves won 7-2, which can be said to be rare in history.

However, there are also a few teams that have performed unsatisfactorily in the new season, first of all, the Lakers, after Kobe Bryant's successful ascension, although Kobe Bryant personally played explosive personal data, in the first 9 games of the new season, 5 games have been cut 40+, and currently ranks second in the scoring list with an average of 38 points per game, but in these 9 games, the Lakers have only won 3 games, with a 3-6 record, which can be said to be miserable, although 9 games, from 82 games in a season, it is just the beginning, But now watching the Heat Salted Fish led by O'Neal turn over, from a fish belly competing for the top pick, to the second in the East and the third in the league, many media have vaguely criticized the Lakers for sending O'Neal away and leaving Kobe Bryant's choice. In addition to the Lakers, the Celtics, who had high hopes in the East, did not perform well at the beginning of the season, because the Celtics' schedule after the start of the new season was too ghostly, and after losing to the Pacers, Heat, Pistons, and Nets in a row, the Celtics currently have a record of only 4 wins and 5 losses. However, compared with the Lakers and Celtics, the most surprising thing is the Magic, although the Magic has not entered the second round in the past few seasons, but the Magic can also be ranked fifth in the East, but the Magic of the new season, in the case of basically no major changes in the team's personnel, did not win a single game in the first 9 games, ranking first in the league with a record of 9 consecutive defeats, which is also the most bizarre thing after the beginning of this season.

On the evening of November 18, in the home locker room of the American Airlines Arena, the home of the Heat, although the game with the 76ers has ended, the Heat players who have defeated the 76ers and have won 10 consecutive victories are not overly excited now, nor do they go to the shower to change clothes, but still stay in the locker room, because the team's boss, the only core O'Neal, is sitting in a chair watching a game on the TV that has not yet ended, before the head coach goes to participate in the post-game press conference, And when the team's boss didn't speak, all the Heat players present also sat in the locker room and waited quietly.

As one of the three strongest players in the NBA and the most dominant interior player, O'Neal never thought that he would be sent away by the Lakers, but after losing to the Pacers in the finals for two consecutive years, O'Neal, who was still at his peak, was traded to the Heat by the Lakers. O'Neal changed his lazy attitude in previous seasons, and in every game of the new season, O'Neal did his best, what did O'Neal for, in order to prove himself to the Lakers' management and everyone in the league, to prove that he was still the omnipotent shark, so after coming to the Heat, O'Neal set a goal for himself, in this season, O'Neal not only had to lead the Heat to defeat the Pacers to win the championship, but also to break Meng Xu's monopoly on the regular season MVP.

After coming to the Heat, O'Neal regained his former glory, not only led the Heat to 10 consecutive wins, but also averaged 33 points per game, 13.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 3.3 blocks in these 10 games, scoring, rebounding, and blocks all ranked in the top five in the league, not only that, O'Neal also won last week's best player in the East, and in the new MVP rankings, O'Neal also ranked second, It can be said that the current Heat team, under the leadership of O'Neal, has really had the strength to win the championship, and now the praise of O'Neal by the major media can be said to be overwhelming, and some media have even publicly belittled Kobe and the Lakers when touting O'Neal, in this case, what is O'Neal's dissatisfaction? What else is he waiting for?

What O'Neal is waiting for now is the result of the Pacers' away game against the Kings, if there is anyone in this league who O'Neal hates the most? That is neither Kobe Bryant nor the management of the Lakers, but Meng Xu of the Pacers, it is the Pacers led by Meng Xu who destroyed their Lakers, destroyed their dreams of winning consecutive championships, and destroyed their unique position in the Lakers, and also destroyed the dreams of Malone and Payton. Therefore, O'Neal is now full of thoughts about destroying Meng Xu, destroying the Pacers, and also destroying the dreams of the veterans who go to the Pacers to hug their thighs to win the championship, and only in this way can the resentment in O'Neal's heart be eliminated!

And it is also very important that although O'Neal has performed so well in the new season, both O'Neal and the Heat have always been pressed down by the Pacers, although the Heat and the Pacers have the same record before today, but the Heat are ranked second behind the Pacers, ranking second in the East, and in the MVP rankings, Meng Xu also stabilized O'Neal. Due to the departure of a lot of championship members of the Pacers in the offseason, with the addition of a group of veterans, the Pacers, who were named Indiana Nursing Home, were not favored by most of the media, but after the start of the new season, the Pacers' performance was a big surprise, winning all the first 9 games, and Meng Xu, as the core of the Pacers, won 3 doubles in 5 of these 9 games. Now the average data per game is also an astonishing 29.9 points, 11 rebounds, 13.2 assists, 3.9 steals, 1.9 blocks, in addition to the block data ranked 12th in the league, the other four statistics are all ranked in the top ten in the league, and assists and steals are the first in the league, which is why Meng Xu can surpass O'Neal in the MVP rankings.

Although the game between the Pacers and the Kings will not end in 3 minutes, O'Neal also shook his head in disappointment when he saw the score of 106-92 between the two sides on the TV, but after thinking about it for a while, O'Neal was relieved, and it was undoubtedly too much to expect the Sacramento Queens to snipe the Pacers.

"Okay, disperse, disperse, let's take a shower and change clothes!" After seeing that both the Pacers and Kings had changed their main lineups, O'Neal shouted a few words to his teammates around him with a sullen face, and began to take off his shoes and change clothes.

"Shaq, this guy is really powerful, it's normal for the king to stop him, but that's fine, the Pacers will come to Miami in a few days, and we'll take care of him by ourselves when the time comes!" Seeing the sullen expression of his old buddy, Moning, who is a rookie in the same class as O'Neal and now plays as a substitute for O'Neal, is also constantly comforting O'Neal on the side. I have to say that although Mo Ning doesn't say it, but in his heart, Mo Ning still admires Meng Xu, a player who has just entered the league for four seasons, has won three championships, two regular season MVPs, and two finals MVPs, that is, Jordan does not have so many achievements and honors at his age.

"Well, I'm going to teach that kid a hard lesson!" After hearing Mourning's comfort, O'Neal also nodded, counting on other teams to snipe the Pacers, it is better to kill the Pacers himself, and that hateful boy, and only in this way can he prove that he is strong against that kid.

。。。。。。

"It's finally over this grueling mission!" In the away game against the Kings, Meng Xu only played 30 minutes and scored a triple-double again, although Rick Carlisle arranged the tactics for himself in the new season, in conjunction with the style of play in front of Meng Xu, so that Meng Xu brushed the triple-double is like a bag, and at the same time, it also makes the Pacers' tactical cooperation more threatening, but Meng Xu doesn't like this style of play a little too much, after all, whoever holds it for a long time will have negative emotions in his heart, but now it's okay, after the end of the game with the King, Meng Xu finally completed this advanced task, and in the later games, he no longer had to be cautious all the time.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Royal Road Advanced Mission, the upper limit of all attributes is +1, and at the same time obtaining the exclusive Royal Road player, the Destiny Aura!" The first time Meng Xu returned to the locker room, he went into the bathroom and entered the system space, and after Meng Xu received the reward for the advanced task, Meng Xu's attribute panel changed again.

Host System Level 18, Experience 1332/10000, Points 1724, Remaining Attribute Points 0, Remaining Skill Points 8, Host Height (201), Reach (221) Speed (80+20) +6, Strength (100+10) +6 Overflow, Agility (69+50) +1 Overflow, Bounce (100+10) +6 Overflow, Endurance (100+5) +1 Overflow, Explosive Power (95+5) +1.

Player's comprehensive ability evaluation 99 (S-) (This player has unparalleled physical talent, and all-round offensive ability without dead ends, as well as excellent defensive ability, is a superstar who can change the direction of the game by himself, and is a historical player with the ability to create his own dynasty.) ）

Special Title: Basket Terminator, Additional Attributes: Strength Limit +5, Speed Limit +5, Paint Zone Confrontation Ability Increases by 10%, Air Confrontation Ability Increases 5%. Attaching special status, Talent Suppression, which can suppress the opponent's physical talent in the game, all players who come into physical contact with the host, the strength and speed attributes will be randomly reduced to varying degrees, and the physical consumption speed will be increased by 10%.

Special Status: Royal Destiny Aura, all teammates present at the same time as the host will receive a 5% special status bonus.

"Aura of Destiny! Aura of Destiny! No wonder everyone says that the royal players are the easiest players to succeed, and it turns out that this is the reason! Seeing that after completing the task, the special state he obtained, which was similar to the special state of the King's Certificate, Meng Xu suddenly understood a lot of things, why in the history of the NBA for so many years, most of the people who were able to lead the team to success were members of the Royal Road, and it was also why many role players who played well next to those King Road players did not have the magical performance of the past after changing the environment.

"This is natural, the king player can let his teammates play 105% or even 110% of the strength, while the domineering player can only let his teammates play 100% of the strength at most, as for the killing player, many times, it will affect the normal performance of his teammates, which is why compared to the king and the domineering, the killing road is the easiest to break through, but it is also the most difficult to lead the team to success."

"Anna, didn't you say that after completing all three advanced tasks, you will be able to enter the Holy Path on your own?" After looking at his attribute panel again, Meng Xu asked a question to Anna beside him, according to what Anna said before, after Jordan successfully promoted to the domineering, killing, and royal paths, he embarked on a unique path of the Holy Dao, but now Meng Xu has also completed these three different paths, but he has not found that he has any special changes.

"Completing these three advanced tasks is just the beginning, you also need to find a way to integrate them together, or be able to switch between these three paths like Jordan, only then can you reach the top of the basketball world like Jordan!"

"There is another question, I am already an S-level player now, is it that no matter how my attributes are improved, there will be no change?"

"You're just an S-level player now, although the highest strength evaluation in the system is only 99, but the strength evaluation of 99 is also divided into S-, S, S+ three, the kind of situation you said doesn't exist at all, unless you can break through all your attributes to the upper limit of the system, otherwise your ability will still increase with the increase of attributes!"

"Maybe there's nothing wrong with the current style of play!" After sitting in the system space and thinking for a while, Meng Xu said to himself, the tactics arranged by Rick Carlisle for Meng Xu are undoubtedly one of the tactics that are most in line with the playing style of the royal player.
