Legendary star

Chapter 321 Return to San Antonio

On December 2001, 12, the most watched Christmas game of the NBA25 regular season will kick off tonight. Today's two games are Jordan's guest at Staples against Los Angeles Lakers.

People, and Meng Xu returned to the Alamo Stadium to lead the Pacers away to challenge the Spurs.This year's two Christmas games have not yet started, and the attention they have received has far exceeded that of last year's Christmas game. Duncan, O'Neal, Kobe, Meng Xu, the strongest and most popular stars in the league, in Canada Jordan, who came back for the last time, these two games have already become the focus of much attention.

The first of the two games was the game between the Lakers and the Wizards. The Lakers basically retained the winning lineup of last season this season. In addition, they also signed several veterans with basic salary. Chemond is one of them.After tasting the sweetness of the rest last season, O'Neal is still playing and resting this season, the number of appearances and playing time have also shrunk significantly, and the average data has dropped to the lowest point after his rookie season. Even so, the Lakers Still achieved the league's second record of 6 wins and 18 losses.Compared with the Lakers, the current record of the Wizards is slightly worse. They are currently ranked ninth in the East with a record of 5 wins and 13 losses, struggling on the edge of the playoffs.Although this game is not a strong dialogue, but because of Jordan and Kobe, this game has received even more attention than the matchup between the Spurs and the Pacers.

After Kobe entered the league, due to the extremely similar style of play to Jordan, coupled with the fact that the league was in a hurry and went to the doctor, Kobe was labeled "Jordan's successor" as a rookie.And Jordan, after his second comeback, now has no previous dominance, so most of the media now have a kind of argument, that is, Jordan's comeback this time is to hand over the scepter in his hand, Who is the scepter given to?Naturally, Kobe is the best among many "Jordan successors", so today's game is also called the battle of inheritance.

Just after the game between the Lakers and the Wizards started, in the player channel of the Alamo Stadium, under the leadership of rookie Jamal Tinsley, the visiting Pacers players stepped into the court one by one, starting from Jamal Tinsley At the beginning, every Pacers player will enjoy the warm welcome of the fans at the Alamo Stadium, and the deafening boos echoed in every corner of the Alamo Stadium.

Just after the penultimate Reggie Miller walked out of the player tunnel, the boos on the scene stopped abruptly, because behind Reggie Miller, Meng Xu, as the Pacers' finale, walked out of the player tunnel last, accompanied by Meng Xu's appearance It was a tsunami of applause and crazy cheers from the fans.

When he stepped into the Alamo Stadium again and looked at the still very familiar faces on the sidelines, Meng Xu was also filled with emotion at the moment. However, when Meng Xu walked out of the airport and saw thousands of fans wearing Spurs No. 5 jerseys waiting there, and the cheers that greeted him the moment he walked out of the player tunnel, Meng Xu was really moved by these fans up.And Meng Xu also greeted the cheers and applause of the audience, walked directly to the center of the stadium, and waved to the fans in the audience.

"Meng, welcome back to San Antonio." At this moment, Popovich, who had already entered the court, came directly to Meng Xu's side and gave Meng Xu a hug.When Popovich and Meng Xu separated, and Duncan and Meng Xu hugged behind Popovich, the atmosphere in the entire Alamo Stadium reached its peak in an instant.

At this time, James Posey and Jermaine O'Neal, who were watching all this from the sidelines, looked enviously at Meng Xu in the center of the court. James Posey had played for the Nuggets for two years, and Jermaine O'Neal was in the However, when the two returned to their hometown this season, they were greeted with boos and abuse. Therefore, seeing that Meng Xu has left the Spurs and is still loved by so many Spurs fans, James Posey and Jermaine O'Neill are also very jealous of Meng Xu now.

"It's really a pity that such a historical pair has separated like this." Seeing Meng Xu and Duncan embracing in the middle of the court, Magic Johnson, the commentator of the game, also said very regretfully. Duncan and Duncan Meng Xu's combination can be ranked in the forefront in the entire history of the NBA. If such a combination has been together throughout their careers, then it will be a matter of time before they establish their own dynasty. Compared with Meng Xu Duncan, the Lakers' combination is not inferior.

"The Lakers are much luckier than the Spurs. Without the fetters of Duncan and Meng Xu, perhaps from now on, the West will be the Lakers' world." With the disintegration of the Wake Forest duo, the Spurs directly began to rebuild, benefiting the most There is no doubt that it is the Lakers.

"Meng, remember your promise, you still owe me a championship." When Meng Xu's former teammates from the Spurs came to greet Meng Xu, Duncan patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, and then the two separated up.

"Promise?" Looking at Duncan with a serious face, Meng Xu finally remembered. In Meng Xu's rookie season, after the Spurs achieved two consecutive championships, a group of Spurs players were drunk at the championship party. They, bragging together, must bring the Spurs the third championship in their careers, and now, only Duncan and David Robinson are still in the Spurs among the few people who were bragging together. Yes, the young general Johnson was traded to the Nuggets. After the Spurs failed to defend their title, Mario Elli and Sean Elliott chose to retire at the same time, and they also went to the Pacers. Also no longer exists.

"Haha." While Meng Xu was in a daze, Duncan suddenly rubbed Meng Xu's head vigorously, then left the field as if fleeing, and returned to the Spurs' bench, while the surrounding Spurs players were also killed. Duncan's sudden spoof made him fall back and forth.

"Asshole." Because he was afraid of becoming bald, Meng Xu hated being touched on the head and rubbed his hair. Before that, no matter who was touching his own head, Meng Xu would go berserk without exception, but this time, for Duncan's As a prank, instead of being angry, Meng Xu felt a little sad.

"Meng, do a good job. I hope you don't let me and the coach down." Duncan, who had just teased Meng Xu very funnyly, immediately recovered a paralyzed look after the starting lineups of the two teams entered the field. While hugging her in her arms, she blankly looked at Meng Xu who was not far away.

For the Spurs this season, after Meng Xu left, Derek Anderson was traded, and Mario Ellis and Sean Elliott retired, the entire outside line was replaced. After a busy summer, Popovich passed Several transactions, signed Steve Smith, Bruce Bowen, Stephen Jackson, and left the first-round pick Tony Parker, and basically completed the reconstruction, but compared with last season, the Spurs' perimeter The offense was significantly weaker.

In this game, the Pacers' starting lineup has not changed much, and it continues the starting lineup of the previous season, center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward James Posey, small forward Meng Xu, shooting guard Reggie Miller, point guard Jamal - Tinsley.

On the Spurs side, starting center David Robinson, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Steve Smith, and point guard is this year's rookie Tony Parker.
