Pacers, after thinking about it for two days, Meng Xu finally chose the Pacers, although compared with New York, Indianapolis can only be regarded as a small city, and the Pacers are not as rich as the Knicks, but compared to the Knicks, Larry Bird and Reggie Miller's personal door-to-door visits, so that Meng Xu feels that the Pacers are more sincere, and the Pacers' team building ideas are also more clear, in addition to not throwing money like the Knicks and the Trail Blazers, all other teams can give Meng Xu, the Pacers can be satisfied.

At the same time, after leaving the Spurs, Meng Xu does not want to, nor will he give anyone a hand, and the Knicks now have two All-Star outside linemen, Latrill Sprewell and Alan Houston, and their positions with Meng Xu overlap, although the Knicks promise to build a team with Meng Xu as the core, but whether it is Alan Houston and Latril Sprewell, who is still in his prime, All-Stars, none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, especially Ratril Sprewell, nicknamed "Crazy Man", This guy is not a good match, and Knicks management has made it clear that they won't send him away this season. Therefore, Meng Xu still has some doubts about the sincerity of the Knicks, Meng Xu does not want to join the Knicks on the first day, and the team will have infighting the next day.

In the end, when Meng Xu participated in this year's McDonald's summer training camp, the Pacers, Spurs and Nuggets completed a big trade involving 6 players from 3 teams, and the Spurs sent Meng Xu away in a forward and backward way, and at the same time got the Pacers' main power forward Austin Crohill, and the playmaker Travis Best, as well as the Nuggets' sixth man, Woshan Leonard, and two first-round picks from the Pacers and the Nuggets. The Pacers sent three starters of star Jalen Rose, Austin Crohill and Travis Best, as well as the Pacers' No. 16 pick this year. The Nuggets sent the team's sixth man, Woshan Leonard, and backup forward James Posey, as well as the No. 10 pick in the first round this year, and got the Pacers' All-Star small forward Jalen Rose.

In the case that Meng Xu is already a free agent, even if Meng Xu directly signs with the Pacers, the Spurs can't say anything, but Meng Xu insists on signing first and then changing, which is also a surprise for the Spurs, so the Spurs' requirements are not high now. But Larry Bird's performance can only be described as righteousness, in Bird's original words, since it is a transaction, then it must be worthy of Meng Xu's value. After Meng Xu left, Sean Elliott and Mario Elli retired, the Spurs are currently very short of people in various positions on the outside, and at the same time, Popovich has been seeking draft picks at the top of the season while searching for goods in the free market, but the Spurs can not pay much chips, it can be said that through this transaction, the Spurs got everything they need.

Originally, the Pacers were going to use All-Star outside Jalen Rose, and the team's two starters, Austin Crohill, Travis Best, and this year's first-round pick to exchange for Meng Xu, but because of Jalen Rose's annual salary of tens of millions, the contracts between the two sides cannot be equal, and the Spurs don't want to eat Jalen Rose's remaining 4 years and 52 million big contract, after all, the Spurs are now, David Robinson and Tim Duncan both have tens of millions of contracts, and Jalen Rose's salary of $12 million next season is higher than Duncan. Therefore, under the mediation of Larry Bird, the two sides brought in the Nuggets who urgently needed to change. Jalen Rose averaged 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists per game last season, so this is undoubtedly for the Nuggets who have been looking for an All-Star outside to partner with Antonio McDyce to form an inside-out supercombination.

As for James Posey, it was Meng Xu who asked Larry Bird by name, after Meng Xu decided to join the Pacers, Larry Bird was delighted, and also asked Meng Xu to recommend a few players that Meng Xu felt was suitable for his style of play, after carefully looking at the Pacers' existing lineup, Meng Xu recommended James Posey to Larry Bird, James Posey has excellent defensive ability, and can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, although Posey's height is only 2.03 meters, but James Posey is very good at defending big man players, Even Nowitzki has suffered from him, and James Posey's outside shooting is also good, and his 3-point shooting rate last season exceeded 35%, which can be said to be a very suitable player to partner with Meng Xu.

At the same time, it is certain that next season, without a partner like Duncan, Meng Xu will put more energy on the offensive end, so on the defensive end, Meng Xu must have a bodyguard to be responsible for the opponent's outside core, Reggie Miller's current physical condition is definitely not good, and the Pacers' current lineup does not have an outside defensive leader. Originally, Meng Xu also wanted to bring Szczebiak to Larry Bird, but after looking at Reggie Miller, Meng Xu dispelled this idea, after having himself, James Posey and Reggie Miller, the Pacers really don't need anyone in the position of scoring guard and small forward, even if Szzambiak comes, there will not be much playing time, which will hurt him.

After deciding to join the Pacers, I don't know what He Hui said on Nike's side, anyway, when Meng Xu saw Pete Williams for the second time, this guy had a grudge on his face, Meng Xu could still see it very clearly, after Meng Xu rejected the Knicks, especially Meng Xu chose to join the sworn enemy Pacers in New York, so it can be expected that Meng Xu's sneakers have basically lost their chance with the New York market, and when he thinks of the market of at least millions of pairs of sneakers in New York, Pete Williams is a burst of flesh pain, The promotion of the "Odin Generation" has now begun, and it is beginning to accept reservations, you must know that the price of the "Odin Generation" is a record $201, which is the only sneaker that dares to price the signed sneakers at $200 after Jordan and Penny, and after Nike released the rumor that Meng Xu was going to join the Knicks, just in the New York area, the pre-sales of the "Odin Generation" exceeded 200,000 pairs, just when Nike was ready to make persistent efforts, Meng Xu chose to join the Pacers, Nike's resentment can also be imagined, this is a direct loss of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

But after all, Indianapolis is also a large city with a population of nearly one million, and the population of the entire Indiana state is more than 6 million, although it cannot be compared with New York, but it is more or less a large market, and the consumption level of Indianapolis in the United States is also considered to be in the middle high, and it is not a problem to sell hundreds of thousands of pairs of sneakers. Therefore, after Meng Xu decided to join the Pacers, Nike also hurriedly organized personnel and went to Indiana to start the layout of the local market.

"Hey LeBron, you've improved a lot compared to last year." In the interval between the warm-up games, Meng Xu sat with James again, compared with the young James last year, this year's James is obviously a lot more mature, and his progress is also very obvious, and his body is stronger, although he has not checked James's current information, but according to Meng Xu's observation in training, this year's James already has at least 80 or so strength. Unlike last year's soy sauce, this season's James also became the leader of a group as he wished, and he played well.

"Meng, I don't think this is enough, my current goal is to challenge you." After hearing Meng Xu's praise for himself, James said very directly, on the training ground yesterday, James had a heads-up with Meng Xu, but the result made James very frustrated, and now James does not have the strength to challenge Meng Xu.

"Then this summer, you can come to Indiana and train with me." Looking at James's serious expression, Meng Xu patted him on the shoulder, since he was abused by James at that peak in the system, Meng Xu has been looking forward to the little James in front of him to enter the league as soon as possible and accept his baptism on the field.

"Okay." James agreed without the slightest consideration, Meng Xu is now one of the strongest outside lines in the entire league, and being able to train with Meng Xu will definitely be of great help to him.
