On April 11, 2004, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 107-86 at home, winning the 73rd game of the season, although after the game, it was already more than 11 o'clock local time, but before the game started, the Pacers fans who had been waiting in front of the TV, waiting for this exciting moment to come, poured into the streets in advance and began to celebrate wildly. For a while, the atmosphere in Indianapolis was as crazy as Christmas.

Prior to this game with the Knicks, when the Pacers defeated the Raptors 92-80 on the road on April 9, the season's record officially came to 72-8, and since the Pacers' last two games were at home against the Knicks and Bulls, almost everyone believes that the Pacers will break the 72-10 regular season record set by the Bulls in the 95-96 season this season.

As for the fact that the Pacers are about to refresh the best record in the regular season, the media and public opinion in the United States are extremely crazy at this time, coupled with the promotion of the now very developed online media, making the game between the Pacers and the Knicks become the focus of attention of basketball fans and media all over the world, and even the upcoming European Cup in Portugal has been overshadowed by this "very ordinary" NBA regular season.

"Boss, I miss the days when I fought side by side with you now." After the game, Jamal Tinsley, who was already a Knicks player, did not return to the locker room immediately, but waited on the sidelines for the Pacers to finish the celebration before walking to Meng Xu's side, hugging Meng Xu with both grievance and envy.

After Jamal Tinsley's contract ended last season, the Knicks offered him a 6-year, $48 million contract, and in the case of the Pacers' inability to match, Jamal Tinsley had to go to New York, in one season of the Knicks, Jamal Tinsley averaged 32 minutes per game, and was able to contribute 16 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1.7 steals. The Knicks, who were treated cheaply by the second-in-command Sprewell, only have a 29-51 record so far, and Jamal Tinsley, who has been accustomed to following the Pacers to kill all sides, still can't accept the embarrassing situation of missing the playoffs for a while, especially when he sees the Pacers' current brilliant record, when he thinks of his current situation, Jamal Tinsley is more and more aggrieved, you must know that in Jamal Tinsley's heart, he never thought of leaving the Pacers and going to another team.

Pursed his lips, the words that had already reached his mouth, Meng Xu swallowed it alive again, Meng Xu just wanted to say to Jamal Tinsley that not everyone can be together forever in a team until he retires, but these words, Meng Xu still did not say in the end, because Meng Xu knew that these words not only did not play a enlightening role for Jamal Tinsley, but it was likely to make him even more sad.

"How old are you, why are you still crying?" After Meng Xu, James Posey also ran over, and with James Posey's character, he naturally wouldn't take Jamal Tinsley's troubles to heart.

"Hmph." Jamal Tinsley, who was originally going to hug James Posey, walked away directly from James Posey after hearing James Posey's teasing, but Jamal Tinsley still said in his heart: "73-8, 35 consecutive wins, if I still stay in Indiana, it would be great!" “

"73-8! The Pacers set a new record for the best regular season in history! “

"The best team in NBA history, the Indiana Pacers!"

On April 12, after the Pacers beat the Knicks to set a new record for the best regular season, almost all of the media headlines were about the Pacers. However, for these guys who have no discipline at all, the Pacers have broken the Bulls' best record, so the Pacers will naturally be pulled out and compared with the Bulls of the year.

Most things and records in the NBA will be debated, but the debate about who is the best player in history and the best team in history is very small, Jordan and the Bulls who created two dynasties are deservedly the strongest kings in both aspects, but with the Pacers breaking the Bulls' best record and it is very likely to create their first dynasty, although Meng Xu still can't shake Jordan's status, but the debate about who is the strongest team in history has now been mentioned again.

The Bulls in the 95-96 season, 72-10 in the regular season, 40 consecutive wins at home, but it is a pity that the longest winning streak of the Bulls in that season is only 18 games, which is also the reason why the side that supports the Pacers believes that the Pacers are stronger than the Bulls this season, although this season is not over, but the Pacers have broken the best record in the history of the Bulls, and also broke the record for the longest winning streak in a single season held by the Lakers at the beginning of the season, so in the eyes of Pacers supporters, This season's Pacers are already the best team in history.

Although the rows of data listed by the Pacers' supporters look very convincing, there are not a few fans who support the Bulls, because whether it is the Lakers with 33 consecutive wins or the Bulls with 72 wins, they are the championship teams of the season, and this season's playoffs have not yet begun. to be qualified to talk about the strongest team in history.

And the important component player of the Bulls back then, Pipamppi and the second master also said in an interview with reporters: "73 wins have a hairy use, whether it is strong or not to take the championship to speak, we have 6!" ”

In an interview, Dennis Rodman also unceremoniously said that if this Pacers and that Bulls play a series, then the current Pacers will definitely be swept by them.

Compared with the two big mouths of Pi Erye and Big Worm, Jordan was a lot more low-key when he was interviewed: "The current Meng is similar to me, and even a little more comprehensive than me, but if the two of us are really right, he will definitely not be able to prevent me, of course, it is very difficult to prevent him." Jermaine is also better than Dennis on the offensive end, but defensively, Jermaine and Dennis are a little worse. And they don't have a player like Scott either, what? Reggie, you say? That guy is too old, if it weren't for Meng Xu, I'm sure Reggie would never have tasted the championship. As for Dennis's let's play a series, although the sweep is a bit exaggerated, but one thing I agree with is that the winner will definitely be us, as for the score? If it's a divisional playoffs, it should be 4-3, and if it's a finals, it's definitely 4-2, why? Because I'm Michael, and with the finals I played, there would never be a tie-break!'

Although Jordan's words seem to be more low-key than Pippen and Rodman, in Meng Xu's opinion, Jordan's B this time is definitely a classic, and the seemingly low-key words reveal connotation and show off everywhere, especially the sentence that as long as I participate in the finals, I will never grab seven, and it is extremely domineering.

"What? That guy says I'm old? It's just putting P, I can definitely blow him up now! 4 to 2? That's what that guy really said? It seems that he is still a little self-aware, and I also think it will be 4 to 2, of course it will be 4 to 2 of us. After Jordan's interview was exposed, Reggie Miller, who had always been not very friendly with Jordan, immediately jumped out, although Jordan has retired, for the dirtiness of the past, Reggie Miller has basically let go, but after hearing Jordan sarcastically hugging his thigh, Reggie Miller couldn't help it anymore, and even when he was interviewed by reporters, he didn't even want to mention Jordan's name, and replaced Jordan with that guy throughout the whole process.
