Chapter 726: The Future Is Yours, The Present Is Mine
"LeBron, you played well tonight."
At 11:30 p.m. on May 27, U.S. time, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Cavaliers finally separated the winner after nearly 3 hours of fierce battle, although the Cavaliers made a last fight in today's game, but still could not avoid the result of being swept by the Pacers, and after the game, Meng Xu did not celebrate the victory, but walked to James who was in a daze on the sidelines.
"Did I finally force you to do your best?" For Meng Xu's praise, James did not think so, through today's game, James clearly understood the strength gap between himself and Meng Xu, and for his performance tonight, James was not satisfied, although James scored 27 points in the first half, 39 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists in the whole game, but in the critical third quarter, in the face of Meng Xu's blockade, James only scored 3 points, and Meng Xu under James' defense scored 23 points in a single quarter, If such a performance can be called good, then Meng Xu's performance today is that the gods have descended to earth.
"No, because tonight, I saw your spirit of never admitting defeat, we can accept failure, but we can't be defeated by failure." After seeing James take his comfort as a mockery, Meng Xu smiled and explained a few words to him.
"Thank you." After listening to Meng Xu's explanation, James also let go of the burden in his heart and hugged Meng Xu with open arms: "Meng, maybe next season, maybe next season, sooner or later, I will defeat you!" “
"LeBron, you're still young, you're already very strong now, this alliance will be yours sooner or later, but now he's still mine!" When he was about to separate from James, Meng Xu said very shamelessly again, the future is yours!
After a period of comfort from Meng Xu, James lost because of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the haze shrouded in his heart gradually dissipated, James believes what Meng Xu said, the future NBA belongs to him, and what he has to do now is to train harder, constantly enhance his strength, and look for opportunities to overthrow Meng Xu's domination in one fell swoop, so as to reach the peak of this league.
"Mike, you've done a great job, when I was in San Antonio, I never thought we'd meet in the division finals, and of course, luckily, I beat your team." After separating from James, Meng Xu walked to the side of Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown and hugged each other with this old acquaintance.
When Meng Xu was selected by the Spurs, Mike Brown was an assistant coach at the Spurs, and when Meng Xu left, Mike Brown was still an assistant coach at the Spurs, so Meng Xu and Mike Brown were also very familiar with each other.
"Meng, if there is a choice, I don't want my team to meet you in the playoffs." Although it is a little difficult to accept the ending of being swept by the Pacers, but now that the game is over, and Mike Brown has no prejudice against Meng Xu, so he returns to the court on the court, and returns off the court, after hugging Meng Xu, Mike Brown also joked with Meng Xu a little helplessly, although he said that he was unwilling to meet Meng Xu again in the playoffs, but Mike Brown thought that one day he could meet the Pacers again in the playoffs to take revenge.
While the players on both sides were still greeting each other and the victors comforting the losers, the staff on the scene were already preparing for the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony, and the Pacers, as the protagonists of the day, returned to the locker room to put on the championship outfits that the league had prepared for them.
。。。。。。
"Meng, first of all, congratulations to your team on winning the Eastern Conference championship again and reaching the Finals, this is the fifth time you have reached the Finals in the last six seasons, and in the entire history of the NBA, there are only three teams that can surpass you in this regard: the Celtics, the Lakers and the Bulls."
After the greetings on the court and the award ceremony, Meng Xu and James attended the post-game press conference together, and after Meng Xu just sat down, the media in the audience praised the Pacers' performance, although they were very disdainful of their behavior on the wall, but Meng Xu still accepted their praise and congratulations calmly.
These media are like this, when you are facing a difficult situation, or in a desperate situation, no one will help you, and even they are eager to step on your body, but once you become a winner, then you are the focus of thousands of pampering, except for some brainless media, most of the media will send you praise and praise.
"Meng, we all know that all the media are now discussing the topic of who is stronger, you or Michael, and you are also breaking the records set by Michael one after another, so many people think that you are better than Michael now, so, can you tell us what you think?"
"Smashing the field." Listening to the questions of the Los Angeles Times reporter, Meng Xu just had a good impression of them in his heart, and he was thrown out of the clouds in an instant, Meng Xu's most hated topic now is the discussion of who is strong and who is weak between himself and Jordan, not only because Jordan is Meng Xu's idol, but more importantly, the response to this kind of question is easy to recruit black, Meng Xu has a lot of fans now, if only the number, it has long surpassed Jordan, but Jordan's fan base is also very large, Mike's senior management, repeatedly stressed to Meng Xu that he should not get involved in this topic, so as not to cause confrontation between the supporters of both sides, after all, whether it is Meng Xu or Jordan, they are now the cash cows of Nike.
"Everybody knows that Michael is my idol, and of course it's not just me, Michael is the idol of a lot of people in this league, and we all see Michael as a guide on the way forward and someone we want to go above and beyond." In fact, Meng Xu didn't want to answer this question at all, but the league now has rules that can't refuse questions from the media at the post-game press conference, so when Meng Xu answered this question, he first pulled up many people in the league, after all, the law doesn't blame the public.
"As for the question of who is better between me and Michael, at the moment it seems that Michael is better because Michael has six championships and I only have five." Meng Xu couldn't admit that he was inferior to Jordan, and he couldn't say that he was better than Jordan, so Meng Xu transferred the question of who was stronger on both sides to whose champions were more.
"Meng, we remember, when you beat the Dallas Mavericks to win your fourth championship, you used to say that when you have more championships than Michael, you will choose to quit the league like Michael, I don't know if you are serious?" Compared with the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times is even more undisciplined, and has been holding on to Meng Xu's words for several years.
"Seriously, of course." Meng Xu, who answered the New York Times reporter's question with a smile, kept scolding MMP in his heart, and even greeted all the immediate family members of this reporter.
