Chapter 173: We Are the Champions

"Sister Hui, you really don't need a ticket?" On June 14, 2000, perhaps the last game between the Spurs and the Pacers, which was about to start tomorrow night, he held a few free tickets provided by the Pacers club, but Meng Xu had no place to settle it, and Meng Xu did not know many people in the United States. called to find He Hui, but he didn't expect He Hui to say that she also got a free ticket, I really don't know what channel she got the ticket, you must know that even if it is a Spurs, not everyone has a free ticket.

Although this game has not started yet, basically everyone has treated this game as the last game of the finals, many players in the Spurs have begun to invite relatives and friends to watch this game, originally Meng Xu received ten free tickets, but when he heard that Duncan was going to invite all the players and coaches of the Vic Forest Devil Deacon team, Meng Xu took the initiative to contribute five free tickets, after all, Wake Forest is also his former parent team, and let those former teammates, Coming to watch yourself win the championship can also greatly satisfy your vanity.

It's just that the remaining five tickets, but there is no place to place, after thinking about it, Meng Xu took out his phone, turned out the phone book, and began to call a few people's phones, after participating in this year's All-Star Rookie Game, Meng Xu and several rookies in the same year, Wallis Zebiak, James Posey, Elton Brand, Andre Miller, several people have also established a deep friendship, several people will often talk to each other on the phone, and even every time they play away, the home team has to bleed once, Although they are all rookies this year, because of the top picks in the draft, those guys are all local tyrants who have signed big contracts.

In the end, Meng Xu successfully sent these free tickets out, but because Elton Brand had already gone on vacation, there was no way to come. For the sake of their status in the team next season, several others voluntarily gave up their vacations and stayed in the club to train hard. After Meng Xu promised to reimburse the air ticket and room and board, these guys rushed to Indiana, and James Posey even brought his younger brothers and sisters, and said that he wanted to take them to see the big scene and increase their knowledge.

On June 15, 2000, the fifth game of the Spurs and Pacers finals was about to kick off in one hour, at this time the entire bankers life arena was already full of people, but unlike the previous two games, there were not many Pacers fans in this game, after learning that the team was leading 3-1, countless Spurs fans came from San Antonio, eager to see the Spurs defend the championship on the road, and achieve consecutive championships.

And this game is likely to be the last game of the Finals this season, many entertainment stars who want to use the NBA stage to gain popularity will not miss such an opportunity, today's Bankers Life Arena, sitting in the first few rows are almost all stars of the American entertainment industry and some celebrities from all walks of life who want to get close to NBA stars, and those real fans, facing the first few rows of seats that have been hyped up to sky-high prices, can only choose to buy those back seats.

And in this game, the top management of the NBA league led by David Stern was also all present in this game, because the Spurs are likely to win the championship, Larry? The O'Brien Cup has been brought to the scene, and at the same time, Bill Russell, who is responsible for presenting the MVP of the Finals, has also been invited to the scene, along with the main sponsors of the NBA, as well as a lot of accompanying staff, and even many NBA celebrities have been invited to watch the game.

"I really envy this guy, he can win the championship in his rookie season." Looking at Meng Xu, who was already warming up on the court, Wallis Zebiak, who had just sat down, showed an envious expression.

"Well, I don't know if we have a chance to win a championship." Andre Miller on the side also shook his head, unlike Meng Xu, although the draft picks of several of them are very high, whether it is the Cavaliers, Nuggets, or Timberwolves, they are all that kind of small clubs, and the boss is buckled, raising a superstar is basically the limit, and even a team like the Cavaliers Nuggets is basically a star with a head and a face, and they are not willing to go to this kind of place.

"yes." Although the Timberwolves have a supergiant like Garnett, due to the salary cap and the slamming boss, the current Timberwolves are facing the fate of disintegration at any time.

"Look at you, like the old man, we are still young, and we still have a lot of time, even if we are old and can't play, can we find a stronger team and mix a ring." James Posey, who came with a few brothers and sisters, doesn't have as many ideas as Szczebiak and Andre Miller, and James Posey, who was born in the slums, now wants to sit in the main position and then win a big contract, so as to completely change the lives of his brothers and sisters.

Shaking his head and not speaking, in Szebiak's heart, if he can't rely on his own strength to win the championship, instead of hugging his thighs and rubbing a championship, it is better to maintain his dignity and not this so-called champion.

When the game started, the Banker's Life Arena, which had been occupied by Spurs fans, erupted into violent cheers every time the Spurs players scored a goal, and Meng Xu, who was enjoying this cheer on the field, had no way of knowing that several of his friends were looking at him with envy on the sidelines.

"Brother, that No. 5 playing posture is so handsome, I will be like him in the future." When Meng Xu completed an extremely elegant pull-up jump shot, James Posey's younger brother pointed at Meng Xu on the court and shouted loudly.

"Handsome has a fart, I can prevent him from." James Posey, who has a black line, said with a little disdain, he has always been the idol of his younger brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect that after half the game, these guys would defect, and they wouldn't have brought them if they knew it.

"James, you seem to have been beaten by Meng last time." Szzebiak on the side grinned and said with a smile.

"Wally, you'll be up to you next season." James Posey expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Szambiak's behavior of exposing his shortcomings in front of his younger brothers and sisters, and even twisted Szambiak with his hand below.

In the end, in this game, facing the low-morale Pacers, the Spurs won easily 75-90, and when the game ended, the Spurs fans on the court stood up and sang that we are the champions, and the Spurs bench players on the sidelines instantly rushed into the court, surrounded several players on the court, and even fell to the ground.

"Champions, champions, we are champions." The Spurs players, who had already formed a circle on the court hand in hand, shouted loudly above the Bankers' Living Arena.
