Chapter 512: Who Will Continue to Win Victory
Due to the crazy record of the Pacers, Heat and Mavericks at the beginning of this season, the first 14 games after the start of the new season have maintained all wins, so the entire American basketball community, in the recent period, all the eyes and attention have been focused on these three teams, and the three teams have won 14 consecutive wins at the same time, which is a grand occasion that has not appeared in the entire NBA history, so whether it is the fans who support the teams, or the people who eat melons from the outside world, We are all looking forward to these three teams continuing this crazy record, but this kind of good wish is destined to be a luxury.
On the evening of November 28, 2003, the Pacers visited the American Airlines Arena to face the Miami Heat, no matter who wins or loses this game, the Pacers and the Heat will have one team's 14-game winning streak to be ended, so today's game is also the most watched game in the eight games tonight, in this case, the ABC television network will also change today's game to a national live broadcast game.
"Are you confident that you can beat the Heat and win 15 in a row? It's hard to say, the Miami Heat are a very strong team, they have Shaq, they have Alonzo, and Eddie, they have a very good group of players, the Heat are a very strong team, they will be the biggest obstacle in our way to defend the title, but tonight's game, we will still do our best to take a win away from the American Airlines arena! After Larry Bird resigned due to illness, the newly appointed Rick Carlisle no longer restricted Meng Xu from being interviewed by various media reporters before and after the game, and without Larry Bird's restrictions, Meng Xu now has a tendency to become a big mouth, but the modesty and restraint in the bones of the Chinese still make Meng Xu somewhat restrained, unlike O'Neal, who fired at the Pacers and Meng Xu a week before the start of this game.
"What is the response to Shaq's provocation? Shaq is one of the greatest centers in the history of this league, although we have defeated the Lakers led by Shaq for two consecutive seasons, but we have never really limited him, so it is normal for Shaq to say that he will tear us apart, he has such ability! ”
"Meng, do you mean that the result of today's game will still be the same as the finals, Shaq will win the data, and you will win?" Because of Meng Xu's current status as the first person in the league, as long as there are Pacers participating in the game, whether it is a pre-game or post-game press conference, Meng Xu is a well-deserved protagonist, originally after the newly appointed Rick Carlisle is no longer restricted, Meng Xu still enjoys this feeling of being surrounded by countless reporters and being held by the stars, but after a long time, Meng Xu can't stand it anymore, this group of undisciplined guys is really too chicken thieves, often inadvertently A sentence is actually a trap, Meng Xu has been led into the ditch by them several times this season, but with the more times he falls into the pit, Meng Xu has learned to be smart, and for some overly sensitive questions and topics, he either avoids answering, or just pulls around, wanting to confuse the past.
Although after the start of the new season, the Pacers' state is very hot, Jermaine O'Neal, who got a big contract, in the first 14 games, he can contribute an average of 23 points, 13 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, 3.3 assists per game, rebounds and blocks are all ranked in the top five in the league, and basically have secured the position of the fifth largest forward, and Rick Carlisle signed a group of veterans this summer, which is also impressive. There will be one or two to break out, and Reggie Miller is also rejuvenating this season, Reggie Miller, who averaged less than 10 points per game in the regular season last season, has nearly doubled in the first 14 games of this season, and can score 17 points per game, which makes people call Reggie Miller rejuvenation.
But compared to the Pacers who are in hot form, the Heat's performance this season is also quite strong, O'Neal needless to say, this season is O'Neal's hardest season in recent seasons, and how terrible O'Neal is without reservation is a thing that everyone knows. Because of the rise of Kobe, Eddie Jones, who was sent to the Hornets, has been tepid in his performance after leaving the Lakers, and Eddie Jones, who entered the All-Star three times during the Lakers period, has been an All-Star in the Hornets and the Heat for 5 seasons, and has not been an All-Star once. And this season, when his former partner O'Neal came to the Heat, because of O'Neal's huge deterrent power on the offensive end, basically every team playing the Heat will choose to pack O'Neal, so Eddie Jones's various statistics this season have been greatly improved, especially in terms of shooting percentage, which is directly higher than last season.
And Dwyane Wade, who was selected by the Heat with the No. 5 pick this season, also proves Pat Riley's excellent vision, before participating in the draft, because of his height and age, Dwyane Wade, who was looked down upon, used his outstanding performance to prove to everyone that he is worthy of this pick, although Dwyane Wade's current performance is still some distance from LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, who are the favorites for the best rookie, but Dwyane Wade is currently averaging 16 points and 4 rebounds per game, With 6.5 assists, there is no doubt that they are among the best of all the rookies this year.
Although the Heat's current starting power forward Udonis Haslem and playmaking guard Damon Jones still look a lot worse, it will not be so easy for the Pacers to get out of the American Airlines arena in today's game.

"In today's game, as the two teams in the Eastern Conference that still maintain a winning record, the only goal of the Pacers and the Heat is to beat the opponent and continue to maintain their winning streak while hitting a higher streak record!" The players on both sides have not yet walked out of the player tunnel, and while the highlights of the Heat season are being played on the big screen at the scene, as the commentator of this game, Michaels has already been unable to hold back the excitement in his heart and began to mention the negative side of the game.
"The Heat's record this season is quite good, Shaq is once again in three years ushered in the best time to be crowned regular season MVP, as long as the Heat can end the Pacers' winning streak at home today and continue their winning streak, then Shaq is likely to win the second regular season MVP trophy of his career this season!" Although Larry Bird resigned from all his positions with the Pacers due to illness this summer, the thoughts that Magic Johnson had been aroused still couldn't let go, so when the Lakers announced their dissolution this summer and head coach Phil Jackson also resigned, Magic Johnson tried again and recommended himself to coach the Lakers to Buss Sr., but in the end, the Buss Jr. brothers and sisters would rather choose a scum like Frank Humberland to coach the Lakers than Magic Johnson to join the Lakers. Because in the eyes of the Buss brothers and sisters, the Lakers can have a Jerry West, and Magic Johnson's influence on the Lakers is no worse than Jerry West, in case Magic Johnson becomes the next Jerry West after joining the Lakers, then the Buss brothers and sisters are not "leading the wolf into the room", so the Buss brothers and sisters, who already had a rift last season, have an unprecedented consensus on the selection of the Lakers' coach. Careerist "Comes to the Lakers." Needless to say, the old Buss's plan to invite Pat Riley back to Los Angeles must have been disturbed by these two "losers", so after Magic Johnson was rejected by the Buss brothers and sisters, he basically broke off the idea of coaching the Lakers, but renewed his contract with ABC for another year, and went to be his own commentator with peace of mind.
Because of the crazy momentum of the Pacers, Heat and Mavericks after the start of the new season, the stars of these three teams, Meng Xu, O'Neal, and Nowitzki, also occupy the top three in the MVP list, while Meng Xu and O'Neal rely on better personal data than Nowitzki to occupy the top two on the list. Although the new season has just begun, basically all the media have reached a consensus that this season's regular season MVP will definitely be one of the three of Meng Xu, O'Neal, and Nowitzki, so in the case of basically the same team record, the mutual confrontation record between these teams has become a very important point, Tim Duncan won the regular season MVP that season, it was because of the confrontation between each other, Chris Webber was steadily suppressed, and Webber was finally reversed, Won the regular season MVP.

"Today's game, we must win! Do you understand! In the home team locker room of the American Airlines Arena, after completing the tactical arrangement, O'Neal, as the boss and leader of the team, was standing in the middle of the locker room, yelling loudly at all the teammates around him! Since the start of the new season, O'Neill has been waiting for this day, under the hype of the media, since a few days ago, O'Neill and Meng Xu's air spraying has begun, and officially from that time, O'Neill is eager to hope that this day will come as soon as possible.
"Victory! Win! Win! Encouraged by O'Neal, there were bursts of shouts in the Heat's locker room, especially Udonis Haslem and Dwyane Wade, two rookies with high spirits.
