"Xiaoshang, pay attention to adjusting the camera, if you wait for a while to start broadcasting, you are still like this, I am afraid that your bonus this month will not be enough to deduct." At 5 p.m. on May 11, 2003, just before the start of the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Pacers and the Pistons, the Pacers' home banker life arena is preparing for Meng Xu's regular season MVP awarding ceremony, and CCAV5 will broadcast the whole game and the award ceremony live today.

"Brother Su, I'm a little too excited now, and my hands keep shaking again." Shang Song, who was adjusting the camera, was also very embarrassed after hearing Su Qun's words.

"Xiao Shang, you are far worse than Xiao Li at this point, look at Xiao Li, what is Taishan collapsing in front of him and his face does not change, Xiao Li is now." Su Qun smiled while pointing behind him, looking calm-looking newcomer Li Mo. After Mr. Xu Jicheng, who partnered with Su Qun, was transferred back to China to be responsible for CCAV's publicity work on the Olympic Games, Su Qun became the general person in charge of CCAV in the United States, and the CCAV team in the United States has also increased from the initial three people to more than ten people now, and a few more interns came just after the Spring Festival this year, and they are responsible for interviews, live games, and the number is also increasing, from the beginning of only following Meng Xu's game, to now everywhere, Lakers, Mavericks, Spurs, Pacers, NetsAs long as it is a strong dialogue match, CCAV will now arrange live broadcast or recording.

"Su, Mr. Su, I am, it's the first time I've seen such a big scene, it's too cramped." Hearing Su Qun praise himself, Li Mo, who was standing behind Su Qun and Shang Song, stammered and said, not because of how good his psychological quality was, but because it was really the first time he had seen such a big scene, and he was already a little overwhelmed, and he felt that it was superfluous to stand anywhere, so he could only follow Su Qun quietly.

"Hahahaha, in fact, I'm just as nervous as you, winning the regular season MVP for a second consecutive year, and there are few people in the history of the NBA who have done it, let alone a Chinese like us, I think I'm more excited now than when I married my daughter-in-law."

As the eighth player in NBA history to be elected as the regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons, and the first player in the history of the Pacers to win two regular season MVPs, the MVP presentation ceremony for Meng Xu held at the Bankers Life Arena today is more grand and solemn than the MVP award ceremony held at Madison Square Garden last season and the subsequent celebration ceremony held at the Bankers' Life Arena, not only in the Bankers Life Arena, but also in the square outside the court. The Pacers Club has also arranged a grand celebration ceremony, and everything inside the Bankers Life Arena will be broadcast live on the big screen outside the stadium, and tens of thousands of Pacers fans who cannot enter the stadium will participate in today's event outside the stadium.

"Brother Su, you're coming out, you're coming out." After the Pistons and Pacers players appeared one after another, the lights on the scene dimmed instantly, and the beams of all the floodlights in the court gathered at the exit of the players' tunnel at this moment, and gradually moved forward with Meng Xu's appearance, until Meng Xu stepped onto the temporary circular stage in the center of the court.

Although this year's award ceremony is grander than last season, because he already has a regular season MVP trophy, when Meng Xu knotted the regular season MVP trophy from David Stern today, he obviously lost the excitement and excitement of last year, and the acceptance speech was more relaxed than last year, with no tears, only laughter and stories.

。。。。。。

After the award ceremony was all over, at half past seven in the evening, the first round of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA2002-03 playoffs finally began, and the Pacers vs. Pistons game was played at the same time, and there was a game of the first Mavericks in the West against the fourth Kings in the West, although there were no major changes in team personnel, but compared with last season, the king's game state and team were obviously weakened a lot, and it took 7 games to decide the winner against a weak team like the Trail Blazers. Therefore, most of the media is not very optimistic about the Kings in this round of the series between the Kings and the Mavericks, so ABS did not arrange to broadcast the game between the Kings and the Mavericks live today. The game between the Pacers and the Pistons is going to be broadcast live to the whole United States and even the world today, and with the regular season MVP award ceremony and Meng Xu's huge popularity now, the Pacers vs. Pistons game has become the only focus today.

"In today's game, we must give Mr. MVP a big gift!" On the edge of the Pistons' bench, the Pistons players who were about to come on the court, led by team leader Ben Wallace, formed a circle, and Ben Wallace roared loudly to cheer on his teammates around him. There is a certain gap between the Pistons and the Pacers in terms of the overall strength of the team, especially the thickness of the bench lineup, but after the 1-3 reversal in the first round of the playoffs, the current Pistons team has unprecedented unity within the team, and the morale is high. What about the first place in the regular season? What about the strongest alliance? We, the Detroit Pistons, just don't admit defeat, we will never be like the Bucks, before the battle!

"Victory, victory, victory。。。。。。" Led by Ben Wallace, several of the Pistons' starters, Chauncey Billups, Artest, Damon Stoudemire, and Clifford Robinson, all put their hands on Ben Wallace's arm, shouted the slogan of victory, and walked onto the court. Due to the personal feuds between Mutombo and Billups, Artest and James Posey, every game between the Pistons and Pacers this season has been a spark splash, and the game between the two teams does not need to be mobilized at all. If the grievances between Mutombo and Billups on the court can still be mediated, then the grievances between Artest and James Posey cannot be resolved, as a rookie in the same year, Artest and James Posey do not deal with each other, and even people in the previous game, because Artest used some disgraceful means in the process of defense, and there were conflicts, and this year these two people are even more crazy, at an NBA players' union dinner attended by former President Clinton, Artest and James Posey didn't agree on a word, so they fought, and Clinton's intercession was useless, it can be said that Percy and Artest are basically at the point of incompatibility, and the Pacers and Pistons' final game, the two almost fought again.

"The starters of both sides have officially debuted, whether it is the Pacers or the Pistons, their starting lineup has not changed much compared with the previous round, the Pistons who reversed the Magic in the first round of the playoffs, it looks that the morale is quite high, and the Pacers' side is still as calm as ever, without the slightest interference from the outside world, especially Meng Xu, who has just won the regular season MVP trophy, is still calm, and Meng Xu, who was holding the MVP trophy high just now, is extremely excited, it is simply two people."

"Although the Pistons are a little worse than the Pacers in terms of roster depth and overall strength, it is not easy for the Pacers to win against the Pistons in today's game. The Bucks did not put the slightest pressure on the Pacers in the first round, so although the Pacers' road to promotion looks the easiest, but among the eight teams in the second round, the Pacers are in the worst state, plus they have rested for more than a week since the end of the first round, on the other hand, the Pistons, they only ended the series with the Magic the day before yesterday, and their game is far better than the Pacers, and after a 1-3 reversal, The confidence and fighting spirit of the Pistons have been greatly improved, and it can be seen from the looks on their faces that they are very confident in this series. From Magic Johnson's words, it can be heard that Magic Johnson is very unoptimistic about this round series between the Pacers and Pistons. The series G5 of the Pistons and the Magic and the seven-tie-break battle are all Magic Johnson as the on-site commentator, the defensive oppression shown by the Pistons in those two games really shocked Magic Johnson, the overall shooting rate of the Magic in the two games was compressed to below 40% by the Pistons, and the G5 was only 33%, especially the Pistons' small forward Ron Artest, who was physically strong, had excellent movement speed, tough defense, and was extremely aggressive, and Maddie was defeated by his defense in the next three games. The hit rate is only 35%.

"It's true, sometimes the series ends too early, which is not a good thing, but I believe that with Larry and Meng Xu's mediation ability, they will be able to adjust their form to the best in two games at most." Unlike Magic Johnson, Michaels is very optimistic about the Pacers' path to advancement, after all, the strength of the two sides, and the regular season record are there, as long as the Pacers play normally, 5 games, up to 6 games, they can solve the Pistons.

"Maybe the Pacers and Pistons will give us a different game today!" Looking at Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace, who have entered the middle circle, Magic Johnson suddenly has a special hunch that the Pistons are the team that concedes points per game and defensive efficiency second this season, while the Pacers are ranked fourth, so in today's game, the two teams are likely to contribute a dull and crazy game.

"Huh? Jermaine actually lost to Ben Wallace while jumping the ball? When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Pacers fans, who were accustomed to jumping ball victories, found that this time Jermaine O'Neal actually lost to Ben Wallace in the jump ball, and the Pacers also lost the first wave of possession very rarely.

"Larry, this piston is a little different today?" As soon as the game began, Lester Connell discovered the Pistons' problems today, Jerry Stackhouse, who was the core of the Pistons' outside line, did not hold the ball today, but switched to playing without the ball, the Pistons' ball was transferred to Chauncey Billups, and Cleverd Robinson left the basket and pulled to the top of the arc to block and cooperate with Billups, which was in the past, it should have been Ben Wallace and Stackhouse to block and dismantle, this change of the Pistons on the court, The targeted deployment that the Pacers made to Stackhouse before the game has largely failed.

"Looks like Rick is still a little bit better." After hearing Lester Connell's words, Larry Bird, who was sitting on the bench, touched his chin and instead showed a smile of appreciation and relief.

"Larry, should we change our defensive strategy and let Richard switch to Billups?" After the Pistons' tactics became clearer and clearer, the Pacers naturally had to change their pre-game deployment, although Larry Bird did not bring it up, but Lester Connell, as an assistant, was obliged to remind him at this time.

"Not for now, let's see how many hole cards Rick still has, and by the way, put a little pressure on the boys, don't you think they've been too easy since they entered the playoffs? It's as if the championship is ours, and if we don't correct their mentality in time, we will capsize in the gutter sooner or later. Larry Bird waved his hand, rejecting Lester Connell's suggestion and leaving it to the players on the pitch to play.

Back on the court, Billups got rid of Jamal Tinsley through a block with Clifford Robinson, and after seeing that it was Jermaine O'Neal who switched to his defense, Billups did not recklessly use the so-called mismatch advantage to single Jermaine O'Neal, but passed the ball to Stackhouse who came from the other side of the court, and Starhouse, who was entangled by Hamilton, did not make a shot, but threw the basketball directly in the direction of the basket after receiving the ball.

"Very good passing, an aerial relay from Stackhouse and Ben Wallace!" At the moment when Stackhouse threw the basketball, Ben Wallace, who was on the right side of the basket, very tacitly moved half a step sideways to get rid of Mutombo, who was stuck with him, and then jumped up, and when the ball arrived, a powerful one-handed slam dunk, Ben Wallace scored two points for the Pistons.

"Beautiful!" Rick Carlisle, who was standing on the sidelines, waved his arms and shouted into the arena. As Larry Bird's former teammate and assistant coach, although the outside world basically mentions Carlisle, they say that he is Bird's younger brother and Bird's disciple, but only Carlisle and Bird know that the two of them are also teachers and friends, and they are the closest partners, so Carlisle also wants to defeat Bird and prove to the world that he is not the "Bird's little brother" in their mouths.
