"Congratulations to the Pacers for their longest winning streak of the season and the longest winning streak in franchise history!" As soon as the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Bankers' Living Arena erupted in a tsunami of cheers, and after beating the Magic at home, the Pacers' winning streak came to ten, which is not only the longest winning streak this season, but also the longest in the history of the Pacers.

"Meng, next time, I will definitely not lose to you again!" Maddie, who looked regretful, had not yet walked into the player's tunnel, but found that Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal were already waiting for him at the entrance of the player's tunnel, and after hugging each other, Maddie punched Meng Xu in the chest, as if to vent the resentment in his heart.

"Tracy, you're going to never beat us, your teammates." Before Meng Xu could speak, Jermaine O'Neal directly hugged Maddie's shoulder, not knowing whether he was comforting Maddie or sarcastic. In today's game, the Magic could still score with the Pacers in the first half, but in the third quarter, after the Pacers pressed the whole court, the Magic collapsed directly, and the Magic only scored 10 points in the entire third quarter. Although under the leadership of Maddy, the Magic also fought back in the fourth quarter, but as soon as the Pacers pressed, the Magic collapsed again, and after this collapse, the Magic couldn't organize an effective counterattack, 85-103, and the Magic finally lost to the Pacers by 18 points, which is undoubtedly desperate. Although Maddie scored 40+ again in this game, it was useless, and it didn't make sense to lose the game, no matter how good the data was.

"How is Grant now?" Maddie, who was not in high spirits, became more and more depressed after hearing Jermaine O'Neal say that his teammates were rotten, and after Meng Xu on the side saw this situation, he immediately asked Maddie about Hill's situation.

"Grant has no hope again this season!" After shaking his head, the frustration in Maddy's eyes was already very obvious, Grant Hill has been reimbursed for three consecutive seasons, all of which were reimbursed for a serious injury season without playing a few games, but Hill now occupies one-third of the salary space of the Magic, so Hill's contract has always been a big problem for Magic management. In addition, although Maddy is now the boss of the Magic, any transaction from the team is not discussed with Maddy, especially this season when the Magic traded Mike Miller, as a friend of Mike Miller, after learning that the team had plans to trade Mike Miller, Maddie found the management and asked to veto the deal, and at the same time said that as long as Mike Miller was traded, he would retire, but in the end Mike Miller was sent away. Not only that, but dissatisfied with the Mike Miller trade, Maddie poured all his anger on the court, and throughout the month of February, the Magic achieved an excellent record of 10 wins and 2 losses, so the general manager of the Magic even said that he would trade all of Maddy's friends in the Magic. You can imagine how depressed Maddie must be in this team atmosphere.

"Alas, you two bastards, you really can't open any pot, tonight, you two have a treat." After a while of comfort from Meng Xu and O'Neal Jr., Maddie's mood finally improved.

"Meaningless, Meng is now a local tyrant, he will invite him tonight." Jermaine O'Neal put his left hand around Maddie and Meng Xu with his right hand, and at the same time squeezed his eyebrows at Meng Xu, meaning that tonight, you will bleed.

"My agent is very strict with me right now, and she doesn't allow me to have more than $200 in cash on me, and she's taken my card away, so, Jermaine, you know." Although Meng Xu's tone seemed to be complaining, as long as He Hui was mentioned, Meng Xu had a special look on his face.

Due to the hot sales performance of the Odin series, according to the sharing agreement in the contract between Meng Xu and Nike, last year alone, Meng Xu received nearly $30 million in pre-tax dividends from Nike, and in addition to Meng Xu's current annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, and various endorsement contracts, Meng Xu's annual income has reached $60 million, even if it excludes layers of taxes, Meng Xu's annual income is more than $30 million, which is a veritable local tyrant, so in recent times, Meng Xu has always been lavish and often invites his teammates to dinner, asked his teammates to go to a nightclub, and after He Hui learned about these circumstances, he immediately confiscated all of Meng Xu's bank cards, and only left Meng Xu $200 in pocket money.

"Meng, you know, I have a mother, a daughter, and a brother, and they all have a lot of expenses now, and you are still a bachelor, so 。。。。。。" After hearing Meng Xu's words, Jermaine O'Neill also began to cry poor.

"Alright, alright, you two bastards, I'll ask tonight." Maddie, who was annoyed by Meng Xu and O'Neal Jr., directly interrupted O'Neal Jr.'s complaints: "What's the matter, forget it if you lose the game, and invite you bastards to go out and have fun." ”

After the end of the home game with the Magic, the Pacers set off for the West again to meet the last Western road trip of the season, due to the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Kings, these Western giants, in the first half of the regular season, the Pacers have played against them, so the Pacers' road trip is relatively easy, Timberwolves, SuperSonics, Jazz, in addition to the Timberwolves are stronger, the remaining two teams, after losing their own stars, This season's record is not as good as before, and the Jazz are now even more of a bullied fish.

On March 17, the Pacers played against the Timberwolves away, due to Garnett's continuous improvement, gradually showing dominance, so the Timberwolves' record in recent seasons is getting better and better, from a fringe team competing for a playoff ticket, has gradually grown into a Western giant, ranked fifth in the West last season, although it was eliminated in the first round, but the five big battles with the Mavericks also made people see the hope of the Timberwolves, this season's Timberwolves are even further, through a series of consecutive wins after the All-Star break, It is already quietly ranked third in the West.

Although the Timberwolves with Kevin Garnett can also be called a strong team inside, but today under the joint strangulation of Mutombo and Jermaine O'Neal, Garnett's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory, and Jermaine O'Neal also played the best game in the history of Garnett's confrontation today, shooting 9 of 18 from the field, scoring 26 points and 16 rebounds, comprehensively surpassing Garnett's 18 points and 9 rebounds.

106-95, in the case of Garnett's poor performance, the Pacers defeated the Timberwolves very easily, Meng Xu shot 12 of 23, 3 of 7 3-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, and scored 36 points again, extending his consecutive 30+ scoring record to 11 games.

"Wally, why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Meng Xu, Percy and Szzambiak are rookies in the same year, and their personal relationship is also very good, so every time Meng Xu is a guest in Minnesota, Szambiak has to do his best as a landlord, and this time is no exception, but during the banquet, Meng Xu saw that Szzambiak frowned and looked preoccupied.

"Wally is worried about the summer contract extension, right?" James Posey on the side seemed to have seen the clue, and before Szzerbiak could speak, he said it in advance.

"Yes, this year is my contract year, I originally wanted to play hard, sign a big contract in the summer, but I kept getting big injuries and small injuries, and I missed more than 20 games before the season ended." Szebiak smiled self-deprecatingly, then shook his head as he spoke.

Although Szczebiak and Meng Xu Posey are both one-year rookies, but because Szczebiak is the No. 6 pick in the first round, the Timberwolves directly signed a 4-year 10 million contract with him, which made James Posey, who could only sign 3 years and 3.6 million at that time, and Meng Xu, who was 3 years and 3 million for two years, were envious, but when Meng Xu, Posey, and even Brand's rookie contracts have ended, after signing a big contract, Szebiak still has an annual salary of less than 3 million. Originally, he was able to contribute an average of 19 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game last season, and after scoring an average of 25+6+6 data per game in the series against the Mavericks in the playoffs, Szczebiak, whose contract expired this summer, can sign at least 6 years and 80 million, or even 6 years and 90 million big contracts, and the Timberwolves in order to have enough salary space when renewing Szczebiak, even Billups gave away for nothing, but Szczebiak was injured at the beginning of this season, And it is a repeated injury, compared with last season's statistics, including shooting percentage, have declined across the board, so the Timberwolves are now hesitating on the issue of Szczebiak's contract extension.

"What's the big deal, if the Timberwolves don't renew your contract, you will come to the Pacers, anyway, you won't be able to win the championship if you stay here, and when the time comes, we will find a way to get Elton and Andre, and our five musketeers will sweep the entire league together." James Posey, who saw through Szczebiak's thoughts, patted Szczebiak on the shoulder, and wanted to comfort him.

"James knows it's a joke, I'm going to the Pacers, where do you have my place." Szczebiak also knew that Posey was trying to comfort himself, but Posey's statement was obviously unrealistic, not to mention how the Pacers got Elton Brand and Andre Miller, the Pacers' current lineup, the two positions of small forward and point guard, have long been saturated, and not to mention that the Pacers can give themselves a big contract, even if they go, there is no playing time. And there is also a very important point, that is, the boss of the Pacers is Meng Xu, not James Posey, if Meng Xu invites him to the Pacers, he may still consider it.

"Wally, everything will be fine, James and I both believe in you!" After Posey, Meng Xu also put his arm around Szczebiak's shoulder, Meng Xu can't be like Posey, what promises and invitations to Szzambiak do, Posey is used to being very arrogant, and he won't think about it so much, but Meng Xu can't, Meng Xu not only has to think about his team, but also for Szzambiak, just like Szzambiak said, even if he goes to the Pacers, does the Pacers have his place? Himself, Posey, Prince, Miller, Hamilton, Simmons, the Pacers now have six guards, and the current Pacers can't give Szczebiak a big contract, Meng Xu doesn't want Szczebiak to easily sacrifice tens of millions for the so-called friendship.

After the game with the Timberwolves, the Pacers came to Seattle, in fact, if you want to calculate according to the record, this season's supersonic record is actually passable, with the supersonic's current record of 34 wins and 33 losses, if it is placed in the East, it can also be ranked sixth, but the supersonic are in the fiercely competitive West, not to mention the fifth, not even the ninth, and the SuperSonics are currently four wins away from the Grizzlies who are ranked eighth in the West, and there are still 15 games in the regular season to end. Barring a string of routs from the Grizzlies, the SuperSonics have little hope of making the playoffs, let alone a 36-31 Suns ahead of the Grizzlies.

Although the strength of the supersonic is obviously inferior to the Pacers, the superSonics still fought with the Pacers until the last moment, especially because of the loss in the finals, and Derrick Fisher and Rick Fox, who were sent to the supersonic by the Lakers, were even more enemies when they met each other, and a trivial regular season game was actually played everywhere, but in the end, the Pacers still defeated the SuperSonics 96-89 away and won 12 consecutive victories.

On the same day that the Pacers defeated the SuperSonics, the Mavericks lost to the Spurs on the road, and after 40 days, the Pacers are back in the top spot in the league.
