On April 27, 2002, after the end of the series with the Knicks, the Pacers returned to Indiana by special plane, when the Pacers walked out of Indianapolis International Airport, Meng Xu was stunned by the scene in front of him, in the square in front of the terminal, gathered at least tens of thousands of Pacers fans, all of them wore Meng Xu's No. 5 jersey, and a very few wore the "Odin" series of special commemorative jerseys, and these fans saw Meng Xu holding the regular season MVP trophy after seeing The fans at the scene immediately took action, holding banners aloft and chanting the slogan "MVP, MVP ......" in unison.

"Larry, isn't this pomp a little too big?" Meng Xu held high the regular season MVP trophy and showed it to the fans in the square, Meng Xu, who originally thought that there was nothing to do, unexpectedly found that a double-decker bus decorated with flowers drove over the square, and on both sides of the bus were huge portraits of Meng Xu, and the Pacers Club actually arranged a celebration ceremony for Meng Xu that was no less than the championship parade.

"Meng, you're the first MVP in Indiana history, so you deserve it." Larry Bird patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, signaling Meng Xu to board the bus, the celebration ceremony arranged by the Pacers Club for Meng Xu is now officially started, the bus will carry Meng Xu, around the downtown area of Indianapolis, and then arrive at the Bankers Life Arena, where there are nearly 20,000 Knicks fans waiting for Meng Xu, because of this year's MVP ceremony, it was put to Madison for the first time, so the resentful Pacers club, and the Simon brothers last night, It was decided to arrange an unprecedented celebration ceremony for Meng Xu, so the Simon brothers returned to Indiana overnight after the game and personally worked out this special celebration ceremony.

"Hopefully, on June 20th, we will be able to hold another ceremony like this." Looking at the double-decker bus that had gradually moved away, and the cheering crowd in the square, Reggie Miller whispered very quietly, according to the current schedule, this season's finals will end before June 20, and the meaning of Reggie Miller's words is self-evident.

"Reggie, believe me, believe in Meng, and believe in yourself, believe that we will bring Indiana a championship." Larry Bird hugged Reggie Miller, the diffuse smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a resolute look, Larry Bird was born in Indiana, although during his time with the Celtics, Larry Bird won countless honors, various MVPs and championships won a bunch of them, but Larry Bird's lifelong dream is to bring a championship trophy to Indiana and the Pacers.

"Larry, I've been waiting for too long, too long." Reggie Miller is 35 years old and has played in the NBA for 15 seasons, and like all veterans, at the end of their careers, all they dream of is a championship, and only by getting a championship ring can they leave with peace of mind and end their career without regrets.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, After the end of the week-long parade around the city, Meng Xu returned to the Bankers Life Arena with the regular season MVP trophy, and as soon as he stepped on the podium, Meng Xu first thanked the Pacers' management and fans at the scene as usual, and then began his MVP speech.

"I am a Chinese from across the ocean, my father is a basketball player, so since I was very young, I began to contact basketball, I love basketball, basketball is my life, but I have no basketball talent, although I have been practicing hard, but until I was 18 years old, no one thought I could become a professional basketball player。。。。。。" Because the celebration ceremony was too sudden, Meng Xu didn't prepare the speech in advance at all, he could only improvise, the moment the first sentence was spoken, Meng Xu was still smiling, but as the speech deepened, perhaps remembering the difficult years, Meng Xu began to choke as he spoke.

"In order to pursue my basketball dream, I came to the United States, to Windsor City, thanks to Coach Odom, although I was very poor at the time, Coach Odom still selected me to the Devil's Deacons team, and it was there that I realized my basketball dream and entered the NBA league, thanks to my sister He Hui who has always taken care of me, thank her for her support and encouragement all the time." Wiping his tears, Meng Xu whispered, and Anna, thank you.

"Thank you to Mr. Popovich for bringing me into the NBA, to Tim Duncan, and to Mike, because of their selfless help, I have the opportunity to be the person I am today. Thank you to Larry and Herbert, Malvin, for bringing me to Indiana, for your support and trust, because of your support and trust, I can be the MVP, and this trophy belongs not only to me, but to you, to all of you. And this MVP trophy is just the beginning, and I will use my career to bring more glory to Indiana. ”

In the process of Meng Xu's acceptance speech, it was terminated several times because of choking, and every time there was a pause, the audience at the scene would send the warmest applause to Meng Xu. Nearly an hour later, the ceremony of celebrating the award, which was intertwined with tears and cheers, dreams and applause, finally came to an end.

After the grand celebration, the Pacers disbanded on the spot and will take a three-day break off before preparing for the second round of the playoffs. In the first round of this year's playoffs, after all three games, only one team from the Pacers advanced to the second round, and the rest of the teams were all tied 2-1.

First of all, the Eastern Conference, the Nets, who are second in the East after the Pacers, face off against the Raptors, who are seventh in the East, but in their first home court, the Nets overturned in the gutter, Carter, who was a guest in that game, scored 48 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists, leading the Raptors to a 113-98 victory over the Nets, but the Nets, who were relieved, won two games in a row in the fire, and currently lead the Raptors with a total score of 2-1.

After the Nets, it was the Pistons ranked third in the East against the Magic who were sixth in the East, in their two home courts, the Pistons defeated the Magic without the slightest suspense, and the Pistons won an average of 16 points per game in both games, although Maddy averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game, but under Artest's defense, Maddy's shooting rate was only 43%. After losing two games in a row, the Magic, who returned to the center of the water house, united as one, and finally relied on Maddy's quasi-lore to defeat the Pistons by 87-86, 1 point advantage, and avoided the fate of being swept. And in this game, the TV broadcast camera also frequently showed Hill in a suit on the sidelines.

In all the matchups in the East, the smallest difference in strength is undoubtedly the fourth ranked Celtics and the fifth ranked 76ers, and the regular season rankings, every game between the two teams is extremely intense, every game is played until the last minute to determine the winner, the 76ers won an away game, but the first game after returning to the home court, the 76ers lost, in five games of 3 wins, the 76ers have undoubtedly stood on the edge of the cliff.

The top four Kings, Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks, all took a 2-0 lead after two rounds, and in the third round, they all lost, which can be said to be very tacit.
