Chapter 478: I hope you'll still be able to laugh after the game is over
"Hey, Meng, can you tell me what you said to Jermaine before that game started?" On the plane back to Indianapolis from Detroit, James Posey squeezed next to Meng Xu, stalking Meng Xu to tell him what he said to Jermaine O'Neal before that game, which caused Jermaine O'Neal to contribute 25+15 data in two consecutive games like doping, especially in the last game, Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo teamed up to contribute 11 blocks, and the Pistons' group of guys couldn't find the north, and Jermaine O'Neal and Mutombo's murderous performance, It is also one of the culprits of the conflict between the Pacers and the Pistons during the game.
"James, how do I think, you're looking more and more like a bastard now." Meng Xu, who was annoyed by James Posey, finally couldn't help it.
"It's certainly not a good thing to see you smiling so treacherously." Looking at Meng Xu, who took off his blindfold and scolded himself with a smile, James Posey stretched out his finger and pointed at Meng Xu, with his understanding of Meng Xu, this kid must have something bad again.
"James, you are usually dirty, so when you see everyone, you have to learn from me in the future, you have to become pure and kind."
"Don't talk nonsense, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly." Hearing Meng Xu say that he was like a white lotus, James Posey was a chill, who was elbowed by Sprewell and had a concussion, and after being stepped by Artest in this game, who kicked someone's calf when he landed? It's just that in front of so many people, I don't want to expose your old truth.
"Jermaine wanted to open an entertainment venue in Indianapolis, but he didn't have enough money, so he approached me." Meng Xu pulled James Posey directly to his side: "So I told him before the game that if he wins the short man in jumping, I will give as much as he lacks, but if he loses, there are so many people in our team, he wants to give one VIP to one person, and as long as we go to consume in the future, not only will we get a 20% discount, but all the drinks will be free." ”
"No wonder this guy works so hard! If you really lose the jump ball, it's no wonder if you don't get drunk by these guys. After hearing Meng Xu's words, James Posey immediately looked like he had a sudden realization, and then he looked around, and his eyes deliberately stayed on Reggie Miller's body for a few seconds. Reggie Miller's drinking, James Posey was afraid, he had been drunk by this old fellow more than once, and then settled the bill in a daze, and when he woke up the next day, he didn't know where his money had been spent.
After looking around and thinking for a while, James Posey came up again: "Meng, you know that I just signed a big contract last season, although I am not as good as you, a local tyrant, but now I still have a little spare money, why don't I join a share?" ”
"Why do you think about investing? Didn't Tim introduce you to a financial advisor? ”
"That YOUTAI guy doesn't look like a good person, give him the money, I'm not at ease, you also have to remind your senior, that YOUTAI can't believe it." When it came to the issue of investment, James Posey became serious, and between his words, it seemed that he thought of something sad. "We all play for youth, and if we are lucky, we can play for more than ten years and then retire like Reggie, if we are unlucky, maybe we will be injured that day, and no one will want to play before the age of 30, so we still have some money now, and plan for the future, after all, we can't eat basketball for a lifetime, no."
"James, aren't you usually like that?" Looking at James Posey's serious appearance, Meng Xu was really a little unaccustomed.
"George's son, called me for help a few days ago, saying that his father was bankrupt, George has only been retired for more than a year, he made almost 20 million US dollars, but he went bankrupt in only one year, after I heard the news, I was also a little scared, afraid that I was the same as George, so I wanted to take advantage of the money now and take it out in advance to make some investments."
The George in James Posey's mouth is George McLeod, and James Posey has been teammates in the Nuggets for two seasons, and just announced his retirement last season, and went bankrupt after only a year, which is really amazing enough.
"James, maybe we can start a company together, maybe when we retire, we can buy the next team with the money we make." In fact, opening an investment company was not what Meng Xu thought of, but He Hui's suggestion, after all, Meng Xu has made tens of millions of dollars now, and putting that money in the bank will only depreciate, so He Hui suggested that Meng Xu take out the money and start an investment company.
"No problem."
。。。。。。
On May 21, at the Bankers Life Arena in Indianapolis, Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Pacers and the Pistons, and possibly the final game of the series, will be held today.
"This sinister fellow!" Artest, who was expelled from the field in the last game and was almost banned for one game, just stepped onto the court and stared at Meng Xu with an unkind face. Recalling the conflict in the fourth quarter of the last game, Artest can only be described as a nest in his heart, although he is the first to step on his feet, but this insidious and despicable guy, when he landed, he had obviously avoided himself, but he also deliberately pretended to lose his balance, leaned back and made a movement to raise his feet, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, the place he kicked was not a calf, but his own life, no wonder Chauncy kept calling him a slut, a dignified superstar, the first person in the league, It's really cheap to do such a bad thing! What's even more infuriating is that the referee on duty actually sentenced himself to a malicious foul, blew two technical fouls in a row, and sent himself off the court, while turning a blind eye to his dangerous moves, the more I think about it, the more angry I become.
"Ron, calm down, we're in a tough enough situation." Billups, who was following Artest, saw the anger in Artest's eyes, and immediately grabbed Artest's arm and advised him to calm down, the Pistons have fallen behind the Pacers 1-3, although the Pistons were also 1-3 behind in the last round, but the current situation is more difficult than the previous round, and in the Pistons team, only Artest can limit Meng Xu a little, if Artest is not calm, and was sent off like in the last game, then the Pistons really have no hope at all.
"The Pacers have changed formations again? In this game, they once again returned to the lineup in the regular season, Jamal Tinsley started the game, and Meng Xu returned to the small forward position, Larry's adjustment is really incomprehensible! After looking at the Pacers' playing list, Magic Johnson shook his head, in the first two games, Meng Xu played the organization guard, and the Pacers used a devastating offense to win two games in a row against the Pistons, but in this game Larry Bird gave up the lineup that brought victory to himself, especially the change in Meng Xu's position, which made Magic Johnson quite complaining.
"Not even a clip? What the hell are they doing? "The first offense after the opening, Meng Xu, who received a pass from Jamal Tinsley, found that there was only one defender in front of him, Meng Xu, who was used to the Pistons' bagging of himself, and the first thing that came to mind was whether the Pistons had any conspiracy? And in this game, Artest obviously gave Meng Xu plenty of space when defending Meng Xu, and it was obvious that the Pistons' strategy in this game was to defend Meng Xu's breakthrough.
"I'm enough for one person, defend you, what else do you need!" After hearing Meng Xu's self-talk, Artest immediately went back, in the two games of the series G3 and G4, Meng Xu, who changed to an organizational guard, averaged 20 assists per game, but Meng Xu's score did not exceed 20 points in two consecutive games, and at the same time, due to the huge pressure on the Pistons caused by Meng Xu's breakthrough points, the Pistons' defensive strategy against Meng Xu in this game is basically normal. Perhaps the Pistons' defensive strategy is also a last resort, including Meng Xu, it is bound to let go of one of Hamilton and James Posey, and Hamilton and James Posey in these two games, with a very high open shooting percentage, told the Pistons, what kind of punishment we will be punished for emptying.
"Hopefully, you'll be able to laugh when this game is over." At the same time as Artest sneered, Meng Xu turned around and sideways against Artest, and dribbled to the top of the arc, while the rest of the Pacers players, after Meng Xu reached the top of the arc, all pulled away, allowing Meng Xu to play Artest one-on-one.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Meng Xu pass in such a way!" Meng Xu on the field, dribbling the basketball with his left hand and taking a step forward to make a breakthrough, shook Artest, and then changed his hand to the right side to break through, while protecting the ball half-sideways, his left foot JIAO fork step, and then a right shoulder turned over, when Meng Xu's series of actions were completed, Artest was directly shaken out by Meng Xu a meter away, watching Meng Xu shake off Artest, rushed to the basket very easily, faced Ben Wallace's block, and hit a layup, While Magic Johnson stood up to applaud Meng Xu, he also let out a sigh, this series of beautiful movements, the entire alliance can only be made by the former Hardaway and the current Meng Xu. And with the continuous injury, Hardaway, who has long lost his spirituality, can no longer do this kind of action, and Meng Xu's current breakthrough is also relying more and more on his body, either to crush the defender with his strong physical fitness, or to use his unmatched starting speed and large change of direction, and this kind of elegant and chic escape action is rarely seen now.
