"Uncle Meng, look, Xiao Xu is out!" On June 4, 2002, just two days after the end of the Western Conference Finals between the Kings and the Lakers, the 2001-2002 NBA Finals kicked off. Gathered in the square outside the Staples Center, revelrying. And He Hui, as Meng Xu's agent, also came to the scene to watch Meng Xu's basketball game for the first time today, at this moment in a well-located box in the Staples Center, not only He Hui, but also Meng Xu's parents, He Hui's parents, as well as Huaguo men's basketball head coach Jiang Quan and his assistants, as well as Meng Xu's friend Wallis Zebiak, Andre Miller and a large number of people were invited by Meng Xu to watch his first solo trip to the finals, in addition to these people, Originally, Meng Xu also invited Duncan and Popovich, but he was scolded by the two.

At this moment, everyone in the box was watching the Pacers players who were coming out of the players' tunnel intently, and when Meng Xu appeared at the end of the team, Meng Xu's parents and He Hui's parents were full of pride. Wallis Zebiak and Andre Miller are envious, the Timberwolves where Szebiak is located, were eliminated in the first round this year, Andre Miller is even worse, the Cavaliers didn't even enter the playoffs, so watching Meng Xu lead the team into the finals, the mood of the two at the moment can be imagined, especially James Posey, the eyes of the two looking at him were full of jealousy, I really don't know what kind of incense this guy burned, he was traded from a fish belly like the Nuggets to the Pacers, and lay down behind Meng Xu into the finals. If you get the championship ring this year, with James Posey's stinky personality, it is indispensable to show off in front of the two. And Jiang Quan, the head coach of the Huaguo basketball team, stared at Meng Xu, who had walked out of the player's tunnel, with full thought, and at the same time shook his head inadvertently.

"Lao Meng, Xiao Xu is out of luck now, and if you look at the NBA battles, it is really different from the domestic CBA!" Watching Meng Xu open his arms and walk onto the court in the face of cheers and boos from the audience, He Hui's father was also smiling, He Hui's father and Meng Xu's father were young, and the two had the same birthday, plus the relationship between Meng Xu and He Hui, the two families are now getting closer and closer.

"Yes, Lao Meng, Meng Xu playing here can be regarded as winning glory for the country, and even many national leaders are his fans." Jiang Quan also took this opportunity to compliment Meng Xu's father, Jiang Quan came this time, not only to watch the finals, but actually had very important things to discuss with Meng Xu and his agent. This year is a big year for the national team, not only the World Championships, but also the Busan Asian Games, in order to ensure that the men's basketball gold medal can be won in Busan, the senior management of the Basketball Association hopes that Meng Xu can go to Busan to participate with the team. But when the national team recruited Meng Xu for the Sydney Olympics, it reached an agreement with the Spurs, Meng Xu only participated in the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and other games could choose not to participate, so the Basketball Association sent the head coach of the national team Jiang Quan to the United States to do Meng Xu's work, after all, the Asian Games is also an opportunity to win glory for the country, and now Meng Xu is no longer in the Spurs, and the agreement reached between the Basketball Association and the Spurs should not have any effect. It's just that in the past few days since he came to the United States, Jiang Quan has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to speak, so Jiang Quan also wants to take advantage of today's opportunity to talk to Meng Xu's agent He Hui and Meng Xu's parents first.

"Director Jiang, let's watch the game today, what's the matter, let's talk about it after the game is over, after all, you see that there are so many outsiders present." As soon as Jiang Quan spoke, He Hui seemed to see through his intentions, and directly blocked the possibility of him continuing. In fact, before Jiang Quan came, the Basketball Association had already talked to Meng Xu on the phone once, and Meng Xu was not resistant to participating in this year's Asian Games, but Meng Xu put forward a condition that embarrassed the Basketball Association, so that Jiang Quan personally went to the United States to persuade Meng Xu to come.

Due to last year's offseason, Meng Xu found an opportunity for Wang Zhizhi to train with Duncan and Jermaine O'Neal, so in order to quickly adapt to the NBA and improve his strength, Wang Zhizhi refused the domestic call and did not return to China to participate in the National Games, but this time Wang Zhizhi can stab the basket, under the deliberate distortion of facts by people and the media, Wang Zhizhi is scolded in China, and the Basketball Association also took the opportunity to announce that Wang Zhizhi was expelled from the national team. And after Meng Xu heard the news, his head immediately became big, because in Meng Xu's opinion, it was his kind act that harmed Wang Zhizhi, so when the Basketball Association wanted Meng Xu to participate in the Busan Asian Games this year, Meng Xu also took the opportunity to propose that the national team restore Wang Zhizhi's identity, and at the same time bring Wang Zhizhi in the World Championships after the Asian Games.

And the Basketball Association rejected Meng Xu's request, jokes, last year, the Basketball Association was righteous and awe-inspiring, and Wang Zhizhi was expelled from the national team in righteous words, if he resumed his national team status in less than a year, wouldn't it be clear that the face of the senior leaders of the Basketball Association, in this case, the Basketball Association can agree to Meng Xu's request, but with Liu Yudong and Hu Weidong's injury again, Wang Zhizhi was expelled, if he didn't bring Meng Xu again, Jiang Quan really didn't have full confidence to win the gold medal in Busan.

After hearing He Hui's words, Jiang Quan was embarrassed to continue, and could only smile awkwardly at He Hui, who had a cold face, and then turned his head to watch the game that was about to start. And Meng Xu's father obviously felt this embarrassing atmosphere, and looked at He Hui with a puzzled expression, but He Hui smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

"Hey, Elwin, which side are you on today?" As the starters of both sides began to warm up, the starting line-up for the game was also sent to Michaels, but before opening his mouth to introduce the starters of today's game, Michaels first asked Magic Johnson a very difficult question to answer.

"This insidious blue pool." Magic Johnson, who was originally smiling, instantly solidified the smile on his face after hearing Michaels' question, the Lakers are his parent team, and Meng Xu is his favorite player, so whether it is for Magic Johnson to choose which side to support, it is very difficult to choose, and Magic Johnson also knows that Michaels has been looking for an opportunity to regain the position of Meng Chui from his own hands, so Magic Johnson can't let Michaels' conspiracy succeed anyway, Therefore, after scolding Michaels fiercely in his heart, Magic Johnson still spoke very gentlemanly: "In today's game, both the Lakers and the Pacers have a chance to win, the Pacers pay more attention to the team, and the Lakers rely more on superstars, so the play of Kobe and O'Neal is the key to whether the Lakers can win, and whether they can be limited is also a prerequisite for the Pacers to take away a victory from Staples." ”

"Erwin, your point of view sounds a little ridiculous, as we all know, the Pacers are Meng Xu's team alone, and the Pacers' tactics are all around Meng Xu, while the Lakers play a triangle offense, which requires much more coordination and tactics than the Pacers, and you say that the Pacers play team basketball and the Lakers are superstar tactics, which sounds very unacceptable." Michaels would not let Magic Johnson go so easily, so when Magic Johnson's voice just fell, Michaels, who thought he had found a flaw, asked again.

"Al, many problems can't just look at the surface, although the Lakers pay more attention to tactics, but Kobe and Shaq have accounted for more than half of the Lakers' total team in scoring and shooting, and the meaning of superstar tactics is already very obvious. The Pacers, on the other hand, have a stronger sense of teamwork, they both know how to sacrifice and dedicate, and on the court, they pass the ball more often and have better tactical execution. Magic Johnson said as he looked meaningfully at O'Neal and Kobe Bryant on the court, whether it was O'Neal or Kobe, they were the kind of talented and arrogant players, they would not, and could not be like Meng Xu and Duncan, who could sacrifice their interests and status for the sake of the team. Magic Johnson has always believed that the character of a team is closely related to the character of the team's leading players, and the current atmosphere of the Pacers is inseparable from Meng Xu's character, and Meng Xu has been imperceptibly branded with sacrifice and dedication in Duncan's heart forever because of his two seasons in the Spurs, and this brand is difficult to erase.
