On the evening of June 13, 2008, the crowded Staples Center, many Hollywood superstars, celebrities from all walks of life, and a large number of NBA celebrities, as well as current NBA stars, were all sitting on the sidelines with a smile on their faces, whispering to the audience sitting around them, while waiting for the start of the fifth game of the finals between the Pacers and the Lakers.

With the Pacers already leading 3-1, today's game is likely to be the finale of the NBA2007-2008 season, and of course, today's game is likely to be the last game of Meng Xu's NBA career.

Since Michael Jordan retired after completing his second triple championship, the NBA has entered the Wake Forest era, and two players from Wake Forest University have won nine of the ten championships in the post-Jordan era.

So today's game not only represents the peak of Meng Xu's domination of the NBA, but also is likely to be the end of the Meng Xu era, so before the game started, it attracted the attention of fans from all over the world.

And today's game broadcast team is also quite luxurious, in ABC, TNT, ESPN, the three NBA broadcasters under the decision of the decision, today's game will be through ABC, TNT, and EPSN three TV stations, jointly broadcast live to the audience throughout North America, but also will use 47 different countries and regions in the language, in front of the world 215 countries and regions for global simultaneous live broadcast, so today's game, is likely to be one, Both viewership and viewership reached a new all-time high.

However, such an exciting game, and an unprecedented number of games, but can not make some people happy, in the largest box in the Staples Center, NBA commissioner David Stern, and several major sponsors of the NBA, are now solemn, there is no doubt that the last two seasons are the most glorious period in the entire history of the NBA, the record-breaking broadcast contract, breaking through the skyline ratings, more and more audiences, so that the NBA has surpassed the professional baseball league, become the second largest sports league in North AmericaBut now, just when the NBA's management and sponsors are looking forward to the NBA reaching new highs, the NBA's top brand has made the decision to retire.

So from David Stern to many sponsors present, they are very worried that this season will be the last glory of the NBA, after all, after Jordan retired, it took the NBA five or six seasons to slow down, and Meng Xu's current influence and the number of fans are firmly surpassing Jordan's back then.

However, there is a little consolation that Meng Xu has promised not to completely retire and disappear, and he will return to the NBA when the time is right, like Jordan, although having said that, it can be expected that in the few seasons when Meng Xu is away, the NBA will suffer a lot of losses.

Just when David Stern and others were still melancholy, Meng Xu had already walked out of the players' tunnel, unlike in the past, Meng Xu did not press behind the Pacers' team, but was the first to walk out of the players' tunnel, and these spectators at the Staples Center did not welcome Meng Xu with boos like the previous two games, but gave Meng Xu applause and cheers the moment Meng Xu walked out of the players' tunnel.

"This game is finally going to begin!" When the opening ceremony ended, the starters of both sides appeared one after another to start the warm-up, Magic Johnson on the sideline commentary seat, after seeing Meng Xu practicing free throws there, also had mixed feelings in his heart, as a Laker celebrity, Magic Johnson was disappointed in this season's finals, and even many times Magic Johnson was thinking that if there was no Meng Xu and no Pacers, the Lakers would have won the championship long ago, but Magic Johnson, like many people, did not want Meng Xu to leave the NBA.

Although before the start of this game, many people thought that the Lakers had no fighting spirit to continue fighting, but Meng Xu, who was warming up on the court, still had a serious expression on his face, after all, the game was not over yet, everything had not yet settled, and Meng Xu also believed that Kobe Bryant would not give up.

Sure enough, as Meng Xu expected, after the start of the game, the Lakers' performance up and down did not look like a team that had lost its fighting spirit at all, on the contrary, they fought for every ball on the court, not only played very tough on the defensive end, but also played a high efficiency on the offensive end, maybe they didn't want to see the Pacers lift the championship trophy on their home court.

In the end, when the game ended, 91-87, the Pacers defeated the Lakers by 4 points, thus defeating the Lakers with a total score of 4-1 and winning the NBA championship this season.

"This is a team that has been creating miracles, they have created an NBA all-time record of 60 wins in the regular season for six consecutive seasons, and two of them have entered the top three of the best records in NBA history, plus six championships in seven years, even the Lakers and Celtics, who have the Big Three, can't get two wins from them, if the best team in NBA history is held now, the Pacers will definitely be the best."

"And Meng Xu, this is a player full of legends, this is a player who has been creating miracles, 82 points in a single game in the regular season, 64 points in a single game in the playoffs, four double-doubles in the playoffs, and an average triple-double per game in the finals, his name is written all over the NBA's record list."

"Five-time regular season MVP, six-time Finals MVP, four-time All-Star MVP, four-time Defensive Player of the Year, four-time scoring champion, a first-team All-Defensive team for nine consecutive seasons and a first-team All-NBA team for eight consecutive seasons, he's without a doubt the best player in NBA history."

After the Pacers players on the court began to celebrate their championship, all the commentators in the courtside commentary seats all got up, congratulating the Pacers on winning the championship at the same time, but also making an inventory of Meng Xu's career.

At the award ceremony held later, Meng Xu held the O'Brien Cup with one hand and the MVP trophy of the finals with the other hand in the cheers of the audience, which was also permanently fixed on the photos by the reporters on the scene.

And this scene also became eternal at this moment! It has become the most unforgettable scene in the hearts of countless fans!
