"Erwin, after the Spurs won last season's championship, you predicted that this season's NBA is likely to form a two-way battle between the East Pacers and the West Spurs, but so far in the new season, the Spurs have indeed continued the strength of the Finals, ranking first in the West with a record of four wins, but the Pacers don't seem to have come out of the shadow of the Auburn Hills incident, and their start is simply terrible."

"El, it's all temporary, and I'm sure the Pacers will soon find their rhythm to win, and maybe after today's game, they'll end their embarrassing losing streak." Under Michaels's banter, Magic Johnson's face was somewhat unbearable, but Magic Johnson continued to insist on his opinion.

Whether it is the Spurs who won the championship last season, or the Pacers who lost the division finals because of the Auburn Hills Palace, they have completely retained the main lineup of last season, and with the addition of Meng Xu and Tim Duncan, the two top two players in the league, Magic Johnson firmly believes that this season's NBA will inevitably be the world of the Spurs and the Pacers, and the final championship will definitely be one of these two teams.

"Haha, Erwin, you've always had so many big points." Michaels, who couldn't "convince" Magic Johnson, could only sigh at Magic Johnson's dead duck's mouth.

Although today is Wednesday, there are as many as 12 NBA games played at the same time tonight, and in these 12 games, there is no shortage of Pistons vs. Kings, Nets vs. Raptors such a revenge battle full of betrayal and blood, as well as Mavericks vs. Rockets, Pistons vs. Heat, this continuation of last season's playoffs, but the most watched in these games is undoubtedly the Spurs' home game against the Pacers.

On the one hand, it is the defending champion, on the other hand, it is one of the most popular teams in the entire NBA, and with the "Wake Forest Twins" who are firmly in the top 3 of the league, such a game can attract countless fans and viewers without any hype, so ABC TV Network, as the main broadcaster of the NBA, did not hesitate to abandon the other games in this round and focused all the energy and topics on this game between the Spurs and the Pacers.

When the visiting Pacers team walked out of the player tunnel one after another, when Meng Xu, who was wearing the No. 5 jersey, was the last to enter, the boos in the SBC center came to an abrupt end, accompanied by Meng Xu stepped on the court was a very warm applause, of course, in the middle of the applause, mixed with sparse boos, although Meng Xu has left the Spurs for five seasons, but Meng Xu still has a high popularity in San Antonio, and the Spurs club is not as completely torn in the face of the Magic and the Raptors in dealing with Meng Xu's problems, So every time Meng Xu visited the SBC Center or the Alamo Stadium, the Spurs fans at the scene did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, as if Meng Xu was still wearing the Spurs' No. 5 jersey.

"I have to say that anyone who sees such a scene will be very envious of the treatment Meng has received here, although he has only played here for two seasons, but in the hearts of San Antonio fans, Meng Xu has become one of the most special players in the history of the Spurs." As a special guest of this game, Sean Elliott, who once fought side by side with Meng Xu, is very envious of the treatment that Meng Xu is receiving now, you must know that Sean Elliott has played for the Spurs for 11 seasons, and assisted Tim Duncan and David Robinson to win two championship trophies for the Spurs, but in the vote for the greatest player in team history initiated by Spurs fans some time ago, Sean Elliott's votes were not as good as Meng Xu, who only played for the Spurs for two seasons. So for Meng Xu, Sean Elliott has always been very envious and jealous, not only these fans, but even Spurs head coach Popovich and the current core of the Spurs Tim Duncan, they obviously have a special emotion for Meng Xu, and this special emotion will never appear in themselves.

"Sean, maybe my words are a little blunt, maybe these words will hurt you, but I still want to say that Meng is the kind of player who can never be forgotten, there is no doubt that without Meng, maybe there will be no Spurs' second championship, and the combination of Meng and Thiem is the kind of combination that will make people's blood boil at any time." After Meng Xu left the Spurs, he led the Pacers to win three championship trophies, so as long as a Spurs fan has a fantasy, that is, if Meng Xu did not leave the Spurs, how many championships could the Spurs win? Perhaps this fantasy also exists in the minds of the Spurs' management!

The meaning of Magic Johnson's words, of course Sean Elliott can hear it, not to mention those Spurs fans, even Sean Elliott sometimes thinks that if Meng Xu did not leave after losing to the Lakers that season, but chose to stay, then the current Spurs will be more crazy and invincible than Jordan's Bulls, with the current age and state of Meng Xu and Tim Duncan, if they can stay with the Spurs, they can bring 7, 8, or even 10 championships to the Spurs.

"Meng, welcome back to the SBC Center." After the appearance ceremony, Meng Xu took the initiative to walk to the Spurs' bench and hugged Popovich who was full of spring breeze.

With Meng Xu and Duncan hugging each other, the atmosphere in the SBC center reached its peak, compared with Kobe and O'Neal's kind of tearing up their faces and scolding each other in the media at every turn, Meng Xu and Duncan still maintain a very good relationship even after separation, and Spurs fans are also happy to see it, maybe in their hearts, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Meng, I heard that you are having a bad time now? The bunch of Bichi in New York sprayed you a lot, so in today's game, I decided to give you a big gift. After separating from Meng Xu, Duncan showed a rare smile.

"What? Are you ready to release water? After hearing Duncan's words, Meng Xu's heart immediately thought, could it be that Duncan and Popovich are going to release water today? Is it that they see that they are in a difficult situation now and are ready to pull themselves along?

"Drain the water? No wonder, don't you think a five-game losing streak would be exciting? ”
