"Why is it only five o'clock, why did you wake up so early today?" Although he didn't go home until two o'clock in the morning last night, because his mind was full of that pit father's God-killing Alliance mission, Meng Xu only slept for less than three hours and couldn't sleep anymore.

"Hey, forget it, let's get up and find something to eat." Touching his rumbling stomach, Meng Xu got up and walked out of his room, but when he passed by the door of He Hui's room, Meng Xu deliberately stopped and listened secretly through the door, because Meng Xu and He Hui's parents are currently in Indianapolis, so Meng Xu and He Hui don't dare to be too casual now.

"Woke up so early!" Before Meng Xu reached the kitchen door, he heard He Hui's voice coming from the kitchen, and before the sky was clear, He Hui was already tinkering with breakfast in the kitchen.

"I drank a little too much last night, I want to come down and find something to eat, why do you get up so early." After looking upstairs, Meng Xu walked into the kitchen, then hugged He Hui's waist from behind, and pressed his head on He Hui's shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Just after Meng Xu's mouth was on He Hui's face, He Hui twisted his body, wanting to get rid of Meng Xu. The relationship between Meng Xu and He Hui has not been told to their parents, not that they don't want to say it, but they don't know how to speak, Meng Xu's parents have always regarded He Hui as a daughter, and He Hui's parents have always regarded Meng Xu as a son.

"It's okay, Mom and Dad must be asleep this time." Like a thief, after hugging He Hui and kissing him, Meng Xu quickly stepped aside and opened the refrigerator to find something to eat, Meng Xu was also afraid that his parents, or He Hui's parents, would suddenly appear behind the two of them.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're still so scared." After seeing Meng Xu walk away, He Hui smiled at Meng Xu, then turned around and continued to make breakfast: "Don't eat cold in the morning, it's not good for your stomach, you can bear with it for a while, and breakfast will be ready immediately." “

"Well, okay then." After closing the refrigerator that had just been opened, Meng Xu pulled out a chair from under the dining table and sat on it.

"What are you two whispering?" Just when Meng Xu was about to say something, the voice of He Hui's father came from outside the kitchen, he was really afraid of anything, fortunately, when Meng Xu hugged He Hui just now, He Hui's father had not gone downstairs, but after seeing He Hui's father walk into the kitchen, Meng Xu lowered his head a little weakly, grabbed a newspaper from yesterday and pretended to read it.

"Dad, why don't you sleep more? Breakfast will be ready soon, so go and call my mom and uncles and aunts down for breakfast." He Hui is also extremely weak now, for fear that his father will find out something.

"When you're older, this sleep is naturally less, but you, who are young, get up so early every day." looked at Meng Xu, and then looked at He Hui, He Hui's father shook his head and walked to Meng Xu's side and sat down, and also picked up a newspaper, while reading the newspaper, he glanced at Meng Xu from time to time, in fact, Meng Xu and He Hui's affairs, the parents of both sides have long seen it, and they are also happy to see it, and Meng Xu and He Hui still feel unaware, thinking that others are still in the dark.

"Xiao Xu is going to participate in the championship parade organized by their club today, so I get up early, and I have more things to do, not only to deal with Xiao Xu's sponsors, but also to deal with a bunch of things in 5M, 12 hours a day is not enough, let alone sleep." He Hui explained to his father while frying eggs.

"Hey." Shaking his head, He Hui's father stopped talking.

"Xiao Xu, over there of the national team, Coach Jiang called again last night, and he asked you when you will be able to report to the national team, the national team is now alone with you, this year is the Olympic year, the task of the national team is very heavy, and the pressure and burden on Coach Jiang's side is also very great." After a brief silence, He Hui quickly began to change the subject.

"I also know that Director Jiang is in a hurry, but the sponsor is also in a hurry, so let's hurry up and finish arranging all the activities on the sponsor's side, and then return to China." The offseason is the happiest time for most NBA players, not only to try some food that they usually want to eat but dare not eat, but also to take several girls out on vacation, or wave money to wander around various nightclubs and Fengyue places unscrupulously. But for Meng Xu, the offseason is not so good, as the current NBA's top brand, Meng Xu has a huge group of sponsors behind him, and these sponsors are naturally not given money in vain, so as soon as the offseason comes, these sponsors will come to the door, or shoot new contracts, or attend some activities hosted by sponsors, especially Nike's biennial global tour promotion, which is even more life-threatening, and the itinerary is more dense than the terrifying four games a week.

"The phone rang, it was Director Jiang." He Hui, who was frying eggs and hot milk at the same time, took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket after hearing a ringtone, and after taking a look, he handed it directly to Meng Xu.

"I didn't bother you by calling you so early, did I?" As soon as the phone was connected, Coach Jiang Quan's voice came from the earpiece.

"It's okay Director Jiang, I've already gotten up, I just said that I would call you back after breakfast, you see you called."

"Xiao Meng, the Olympics are about to start in less than two months, you have to hurry up, the above has already given us a death order." Jiang Quan is a straight person, so he didn't engage in those twists and turns with Meng Xu, as soon as the phone was connected, he went straight to the point, and asked Meng Xu when he would be able to report to the national team, the Chinese men's basketball team won the bronze medal for the first time in the last Olympic Games, so the basketball management center also hopes that the Chinese men's basketball team can go further in this Olympic Games, so that Jiang Quan, as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, can imagine the pressure on his body, the United States team, the Argentine team, the Serbian and Montenegro team, which one is hard stubble, The Chinese men's basketball team wants to reach the finals in the Olympic Games, but it is a difficult thing.

"Coach Jiang, I have to participate in the club's championship parade and some activities of the sponsors, so I will try to compress my time and strive to return to China at the end of next month." Meng Xu pondered for a moment, then gave his own answer, this morning the Pacers will hold a championship parade, because the Pacers have achieved three consecutive championships this season, so the Pacers club plans to extend the time of the championship parade from one day to three days, so that every corner of Indianapolis, and everyone can share the joy and glory of the dynasty. After the championship parade, Meng Xu also had to participate in the shooting of some new advertisements such as McDonald's, Apple, Coca-Cola, etc., and after that, he had to follow Nike to Adidas' base camp Europe to smash the field, and after these intensive schedules, Meng Xu could go to the national team to report.

"I don't care, before July 15th, you have to come back to report, I will tell you in advance, the Federation is considering letting you be the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics, you must not drop the chain for me." Hearing Meng Xu say that he could only go back at the end of next month, Jiang Quan immediately became anxious, the Olympic Games opened in mid-August, and you only went back at the end of July, where is there enough run-in time for only ten days, so Jiang Quan directly threw out a big bomb, coercion can only be lured, the flag-bearer of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, that is the supreme glory, I don't know how many athletes are staring at it, but Jiang Quan knows very well that the other athletes in the delegation can only think about it, because the flagbearer of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has always been selected from the men's national basketball team, In this year's standard-bearer selection, there are only two candidates, one is Yao Ming and the other is Meng Xu, and from the perspective of the influence of the two, Meng Xu has a greater chance of being elected, and Jiang Quan is also biased towards Meng Xu.

"Really?" In the last Olympic Games, when Liu Yudong held the national flag and walked in front of the Chinese Olympic delegation, Meng Xu, who was in the middle of the team, was envious for a long time, and the feeling of being focused by the whole world was extremely desired by every distant mobilizer, not to mention Meng Xu, who liked to be in the limelight and was a commotion.

"On July 25th, I will see if I can cancel some activities and go back 5 days early."

"No. 20, don't be haggling." Seeing that under his own "temptation", Meng Xu finally gave in, Jiang Quan's tone also showed a little relaxation, although the 20-day run-in time is not much, but it is basically enough, after all, several main players of this national team Meng Xu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi are very familiar with each other, Jiang Quan also knows that several of them will train together every offseason, so there is no problem in terms of cooperation.

"Okay, don't delay your breakfast, by the way, finally congratulations to you, congratulations on winning another championship, you don't know how much Da Yao and roughly they envy you."

"Congratulations when you have to hang up the phone, don't you think it's a little late?" Jiang Quan's character, Meng Xu still knows it very well, although Jiang Quan is straightforward, and he is also very strict in competition training, and sometimes he is even a little unkind, but in private, it is okay to joke.

"Doodoo 。。。。。。" Before Meng Xu finished speaking, Jiang Quan hung up the phone directly.

"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth." Putting down the phone and seeing He Hui's father looking at him with "bad intentions", Meng Xu immediately slipped away.

。。。。。。

"Tracy McCready broke with the Magic and made a public statement hoping the Magic would trade herself!"

"Countdown to Tracy McCready's departure, Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Heat, multiple teams offer Magic."

After breakfast, on the way to the club, Meng Xu habitually bought a step of newspaper at a roadside stall, and most of the headlines were about Pacers and Meng Xu, but the later report made Meng Xu a little surprised, Maddie was going to leave the Magic, no wonder Maddie called him yesterday, and the teams that participated in the competition for Maddie made Meng Xu's eyelids jump, Meng Xu was worried yesterday that no one of the six stars selected by the system would snipe him. I saw the news in this regard this morning, the Lakers, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Heat, no matter which of the above teams Maddy finally joins, it will bring a huge threat to the Pacers, especially the Mavericks, Timberwolves and Heat, these three teams are strong enough, if they get Maddy again, that picture, Meng Xu doesn't dare to think about it.

"Meng, have you seen the news?" Parking the car on the side of the road, Meng Xu, who was worried about holding a newspaper, received a call from head coach Rick Carlisle, it seems that Rick Carlisle is also very worried after seeing the news that Maddie is leaving, although Maddie's Magic record last season was the bottom of the league, but Maddie is a top ten superstar in the league after all, no matter which team Maddie ends up joining, it will be a very shocking deal, especially those teams that are strong in their own right, in case they get Maddie, Then it would be enough to shake the current pattern of the alliance.

"I see, Rick, are we going to get Tracy, or get involved in Tracy's fight?" After Reggie Miller and the veterans are likely to retire, the Pacers' No. 2 and No. 3 positions are now short of people, and an important point is that if the Pacers can get Maddie, then Meng Xu will not have to worry about the Rausch God-killing Alliance mission, Meng Xu, Maddy, plus Jermaine O'Neal, even if the rest of the people are on together, Meng Xu is not worried, but this kind of lineup, Meng Xu can only think about it.

"It's hard, but we can try to make an offer to the Magic and get involved." With Maddy's current status and ability, it is impossible to exchange a bunch of role players, but the Pacers do not have a top draft pick, and the most valuable Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal will definitely not be traded, so the probability of the Pacers getting Maddy is very low, plus some unspoken rules of trade in the league, it is unlikely that the Magic will trade Maddy to the Eastern Conference, but it is still possible for the Pacers to get involved, disrupt the situation or get a piece of the pie.

"Oh, by the way, Rick, do we have plans for reinforcements now?" Meng Xu also knows that the possibility of the Pacers getting Maddie is almost zero, so Meng Xu can only rely on the team's reinforcements in the offseason to fight against those guys who want to snipe him, but judging from the current salary space of the Pacers, it will basically be a small reinforcement, or like last season, sign a bunch of veterans.

"I'm already looking for a candidate to strengthen the club, what do you want to go to the club, let's discuss it."
