"A game against the Pacers? We have only one goal, and that's win, and not only that, but I'm going to destroy their interior and wreak havoc on their baskets, and I'm going to prove to Larry what a mistake it was to send me away, and I'm going to use my performance to make the Pacers repent of what they did! ”

"Meng is the best star in the league, he is the idol of countless people, I was in high school, I watched him play, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be merciful in this game, as long as he dares to get into our basket, I'm going to teach him a good lesson."

On October 31, 2002, in the home team locker room of the Bankers Life Arena, the Pacers sat at home to face the Suns, the Pacers players were making final preparations in the locker room, and the TV set not far away was playing the picture of Stoudemire giving a pre-game interview, and it can be seen that although it has been a few months, Stoudemire is still angry about the Pacers sending him to the Suns. In the first game of the new season for the Suns and SuperSonics, Stoudemire, who came off the bench, only played 28 minutes, scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

"This kid is really crazy, I must let him know in this game why the flowers are so red." Jermaine O'Neal, who was sorting out his sneakers, immediately became calm when he heard the sound coming from the TV, destroying their interior line and wreaking havoc on their baskets, Nima, this is trying to step on me on the top position, right? Although Jermaine O'Neal is still far from the NBA's top interior line, it is not just a cat or dog that can ride on the head and be powerful.

"Today's young people really don't know anything about the importance of the matter, and they don't have any rules at all!" After Jermaine O'Neal, Mutombo also spoke, and after saying that, he deliberately raised his arm and blew on his big elbow: "It looks like I need to keep him calm and calm, which will be good for his career." ”

After seeing Mutombo and Jermaine O'Neal's actions, the Pacers' locker room immediately erupted in laughter, although Jermaine O'Neal usually looks cute, but this guy is definitely not a good stubble. Not to mention Mutombo, because there were not many intersections before, so when Mutombo first came to the Pacers, Meng Xu was almost deceived by his kind eyes and happy expression all day long, and thought he was a good gentleman. Later, the Pacers and the Pistons met in the preseason, a very ordinary preseason game, but the two teams played sparks, the two leading players of the Pistons, Ben Wallace and Billups, were eager to kill Mutombo with an expression, from that time on, Meng Xu knew that this guy who looked good-faced was definitely not a good stubble, after the game, Meng Xu specially went to check some information about Mutombo, this check, Meng Xu was really taken aback.

Since Mutombo entered the league to the present, there have been at least more than 20 players who have had close contact with Mutombo's big elbow, especially in the more than 1 year of playing for the 76ers, Mutombo has elbowed Ray Allen, Chris Charles, and elbowed Vince Carter twice, as for the grudge between Billups and Billups, it was during Billups's time with the Timberwolves, in an offense, Mutombo elbowed Billups's mouth and broke Billups's front teeth. In last season's game between the 76ers and Pistons, Mutombo clashed with Ben Wallace again, and the two almost put on an all-out show on the court. Although Mutombo's big elbow is not as famous as Marlon's iron elbow, just looking at the series of victims under Mutombo's big elbow is enough to be shocking.

"Dibeken, Jermaine, no matter how you say it, you are also old-timers, you are still a rookie, just a child, even if you are a little open-mouthed, it can be forgiven, after all, we all came from that time, who has not yet been in the second year of secondary school." Just after Mutombo and Jermaine O'Neill both stated that they wanted to repair Stoudemire, Meng Xu, who was chatting with Reggie Miller on the side, immediately stopped and told the two of them a big reason, wanting to stop them from staging some radical behaviors in this game, but just when Jermaine O'Neill seemed to have been persuaded by Meng Xu and nodded at Meng Xu, Meng Xu changed his words: "However, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, as a senior, we must not indulge them, we can't tolerate them, Not only that, but we also want to help them correct their mistakes, adapt to this league, and become a professional player as soon as possible, so I decided that I was going to deal with him personally in this game and pass on some of my life lessons to him. At the end, Meng Xu also stretched out his finger and looked around: "None of you are allowed to interfere." ”

"Alright, alright, it's time to play." Larry Bird turned off the TV in the locker room, and then clapped his hands at the smiling Pacers players in the locker room, signaling that they were leaving the locker room, and when Meng Xu passed by, Larry Bird pulled Meng Xu again: "You were serious just now?" ”

"Yes." Meng Xu nodded towards Larry Bird, but there was a feeling of helplessness in his heart, I don't want to.

"Well, go ahead, be careful not to get hurt." After getting Meng Xu's affirmative answer, Larry Bird still patted Meng Xu's shoulder with some unease, no matter how a rookie Stoudemire is, he is also a big guy who is 6 feet 10 inches tall and weighs more than 240 pounds.

。。。。。。

"I read what Amare said in the pre-match interview, and I have to say that this is a rookie with a lot of personality, and in the last game against the SuperSonics, Amare was really good, like Larry said, he has the potential to be Kevin and Thiem, but I would suggest that he focus more on the game and the training pitch rather than on these pointless war of words." Like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson is also very optimistic about Stoudemire's potential, but Magic Johnson is also somewhat dissatisfied with Studemire's nonsense under the provocation of the media. No matter what the reason, a rookie who has just entered the league stands up to provoke Mutombo, Jermaine O'Neal, Meng Xu, and other long-established predecessors, it is easy to cause public anger.

"It's true, the Pacers are much stronger than the Hypersonics, and the interior of Debaken and Jermaine is one of the strongest interior combinations in the league, and with Amare in his current state, it is unlikely that they will be beaten." Although Stoudemire contributed a double-double in his NBA debut, scoring 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks, it was a supersonic that had begun to rebuild, a team that didn't have any decent interior line, so Michaels was also looking forward to it, and Stoudemire's performance when he met the league's first-class line, whether he was a hero or a bear, would be verified in this game.

"Well, but it's hard to say, if Amare can really do what Tim Duncan did in his rookie season, maybe he could beat Jermaine and Debecon."

Tim's rookie performance? How can there be so many Duncans? As soon as Magic Johnson's voice fell, Michaels began to complain, Duncan was selected to the All-Rookie Team for the second team and the All-Defensive Team for a while, although Stoudemire was very talented, but compared to Duncan in his rookie season, it was still significantly inferior by several levels.

While Michaels and Magic Johnson were discussing Stoudemire, as this year's rookie, Stoudemire was already the first to come out of the tunnel.
