On December 25, 2001, the NBA0102 regular season's most anticipated Christmas game will kick off this evening, with Jordan visiting Staples vs. Los Angeles Lake

Man, and Meng Xu returned to Alamo Coliseum to lead the Pacers to challenge the Spurs away. This year's two Christmas games have not yet begun, and the attention they have received has far exceeded that of last year's Christmas war, Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe, Meng Xu, the strongest and most popular stars in the league, plus Jordan, who has made a comeback for the second time, these two games have already become the focus of attention.

The first of the two games was the Lakers' game against the Wizards, who basically retained last season's championship-winning roster this season, in addition to signing several good veterans with base salaries, including six-time All-Star guard Mitch Richmond. After tasting the sweetness of the rotation last season, O'Neal is still playing and resting this season, the number of appearances and playing time have also shrunk significantly, and the average data per game has fallen to the lowest point after his rookie season, even so, the Lakers still achieved the second record in the league with 18 wins and 5 losses. Compared to the Lakers, the Wizards are now slightly worse off the record, currently sitting in ninth place in the East with a 13-12 record, struggling on the brink of the playoffs. Although this game is not a strong conversation, this game has received even more attention because of Jordan and Kobe Bryant than the matchup between the Spurs and the Pacers.

After Kobe Bryant entered the league, because his style of play was very similar to Jordan's, and the league was in a hurry to go to the hospital, Kobe Bryant was branded as "Jordan's successor" when he was a rookie. And Jordan after his second comeback now has no previous dominance, so most of the media now have an argument, that is, Jordan's comeback is to hand over the scepter in his hand, who will he give the scepter to? Naturally, he is the best Kobe Bryant among the many "Jordan successors", so today's game is also called the battle of inheritance.

Just after the game between the Lakers and the Wizards started, in the player tunnel of the Alamo Stadium, under the leadership of rookie Jamal Tinsley, the visiting Pacers players stepped onto the court one by one, starting from Jamal Tinsley, every Pacers player will enjoy the warm welcome of the Alamo Stadium fans, and the deafening boos echo in every corner of the Alamo Stadium.

Just after the second-to-last Reggie Miller walked out of the players' tunnel, the boos on the scene stopped abruptly, because behind Reggie Miller, Meng Xu walked out of the players' tunnel as the Pacers' finale, accompanied by a tsunami-like applause and crazy cheers from the fans.

When he stepped into the Alamo Stadium again, looking at the still very familiar faces on the sidelines, Meng Xu was also full of emotion at the moment, before today, Meng Xu had thought about the scene after returning to the Alamo countless times, and the problems he might encounter, but when Meng Xu walked out of the airport and saw the thousands of fans wearing the Spurs No. 5 jersey waiting there, and the cheers that greeted him when he walked out of the player tunnel, Meng Xu was really moved by this group of fans. And Meng Xu also greeted the cheers and applause of the audience, walked directly to the center of the court, and waved to the fans in the audience.

"Meng, welcome back to San Antonio." At this time, Popovich, who had already walked into the court, came directly to Meng Xu's side and gave Meng Xu a hug. When Popovich and Meng Xu separated, Duncan and Meng Xu behind Popovich hugged each other, and the atmosphere of the entire Alamo Stadium instantly reached its peak.

At this time, James Posey and Jermaine O'Neal, who were watching all this on the sidelines, looked at Meng Xu in the center of the court with envy, James Posey played for the Nuggets for two years, and Jermaine O'Neal was in the Trail Blazers for a longer time, but when the two returned to their hometown this season, they were greeted with boos and abuse, so seeing that Meng Xu had left the Spurs and could still be loved by so many Spurs fans, James Posey and Jermaine O'Neal are also very jealous of Meng Xu now.

"It's really a pity that such a historical-level combination is separated like this." Seeing Meng Xu and Duncan hugging each other in the center of the court, Magic Johnson, the commentator of this game, also said very regretfully, the combination of Duncan and Meng Xu can be ranked in the forefront of the entire NBA history, such a pair, if the whole career is together, then it is only a matter of time before you build a dynasty of your own, and the Lakers' pair is not inferior to Meng Xu Duncan.

"The Lakers are much luckier than the Spurs, without the bond of Duncan and Meng Xu, maybe from now on, the West will be the world of the Lakers." With the disintegration of the Wake Forest duo, the Spurs directly began to rebuild, and the biggest benefit is undoubtedly the Lakers.

"Meng, remember your promise, you still owe me a championship." When Meng Xu's former teammates in the Spurs all came over to greet Meng Xu, Duncan patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, and then the two separated.

"Promise?" Looking at Duncan with a serious face, Meng Xu finally remembered that in Meng Xu's rookie season, after the Spurs achieved two consecutive championships, a group of Spurs players were drunk and smoked when they were having a championship party, hugging each other and bragging about it, they must bring a third championship to the Spurs in their careers, and now, the few people who bragged together at the beginning, only Duncan and David Robinson remained at the Spurs, and the little general Johnson was traded to the Nuggets, Mario Elie and Sean Elliott after the Spurs failed to defend the title, at the same time, he chose to retire, and he also went to the Pacers, and the Spurs' former "outside four" no longer exists.

"Haha." At the same time as Meng Xu was in a daze, Duncan suddenly rubbed Meng Xu's head, and then left the court as if he was running away, returning to the Spurs' bench, and the surrounding Spurs players were also made forward and backward by Duncan's sudden spoof.

"Bastard." Because he was afraid of becoming bald, Meng Xu hated being touched on his head and rubbing his hair, no matter who he was before, as long as he touched his head, Meng Xu would go berserk without exception, but this time, for Duncan's prank, Meng Xu was not angry, but felt a little sad.

"Meng, behave well, I hope you don't disappoint me and the coach." Duncan, who had just made a very funny spoof of Meng Xu, immediately recovered his facial paralysis after the starting lineups of the two teams came on the court, and while holding the basketball in his arms, he looked at Meng Xu not far away with an expressionless face.

This season's Spurs, after Meng Xu left, Derrick Anderson was traded, Mario Elie and Sean Elliott retired, the entire outside line was replaced, through a busy summer, Popovich has signed Steve Smith, Bruce Bowen, Stephen Jackson through several trades, and left the first-round selected Tony Parker, which is basically a complete rebuild, but compared with last season, the Spurs' outside offense is obviously much weaker.

In this game, the Pacers' starting lineup did not change, and it continued the starting lineup before this season, with center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward James Posey, small forward Meng Xu, scoring guard Reggie Miller, and playmaking guard Jamal Tinsley.

On the Spurs' side, starting center David Robinson, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Bruce Bowen, scoring guard Steve Smith, and playmaking guard are this year's rookie Tony Parker.
