Legendary star

Chapter 619 The upcoming new season

As one of the strongest and most popular players in the current NBA and even the international basketball world, especially this year, Meng Xu not only led the team to achieve three consecutive championships, but also helped the Pacers create a prosperous dynasty. All the way through, he won the Olympic men's basketball gold medal. With this series of successes, the attention Meng Xu has received and his own popularity have reached a very terrifying level. If it is said that before the Olympics, Meng Xu Many fans began to compare Meng Xu and Jordan, and many fans sneered at it. After the Olympics, this kind of voice became much quieter. Even many neutral fans and the media began to discuss if the Pacers finished this season. Four consecutive championships, then the question of how to rank Meng Xu and Jordan.

On the second day after Meng Xu returned to Indianapolis, countless American reporters flocked to Indiana like sharks asking about the smell of blood, trying to dig out some big news from Meng Xu, but However, Meng Xu was very cautious and did not accept any media interviews. Without him, it was a lesson learned by Ginobili, which made Meng Xu a little worried.

In the Indiana World Championships in 02, the U.S. men’s basketball team lost to Argentina led by Ginobili in the semi-finals, thus missing the chance to win the championship at home. The U.S. men’s basketball team in the semi-finals was still criticized by the American media for a long time, and Ginobili, who led the team to eliminate the U.S. team, won the title of "Dream Team Terminator", but after Ginobili entered the NBA Later, he was hostile by the American media, and even dubbed Ginobili the "poor man's version of Meng Xu".

This is the case for a world championship, not to mention the disgraceful exit at the Athens Olympics. Although the elimination of the US team is due to the credit of all members of Group B, Meng Xu, who is the culprit, has learned from Ginobili. His fate was known without even thinking about it, so after returning to Indianapolis, Meng Xu kept a low profile.

"What's the matter, Xiaoxu, the condition is so bad, is it because the jet lag hasn't reversed yet?" Looking at Meng Xu, who was reclined on the sofa and listlessly watching TV, He Hui, who had just returned home, went straight to Meng Xu's room. Sitting next to him, the moon is full and the water is full and the water is overflowing. Meng Xu's reputation has now reached its peak, so this season is undoubtedly a very critical one for Meng Xu. If he is not careful, Meng Xu It is possible to fall from the top.

"It's a bit stressful." After seeing He Hui coming back, Meng Xu's mood improved a lot.

"Is it because of the Olympics? In fact, you don't have to worry too much. You and Ginobili are still fundamentally different. You have played in the NCAA, and you are more or less half a native American player, so relatively speaking Well, the American media should be more tolerant of you. Moreover, with your current popularity and the market behind you, you are far from being comparable to Ginobili. Even if something happens, the league and Nike will not sit idly by After guessing Meng Xu's worries in an instant, He Hui took Meng Xu's hand and began to analyze for Meng Xu, and at the same time, he was trying to persuade Meng Xu.

"The Olympics is just one of them. Another point is the team's business. This summer, the team's signings have not been smooth." The Pacers, who have won three consecutive championships, are now the public enemy of the entire league. Bird is also recuperating at home due to illness, and hardly cares about the Pacers' work, so the Pacers' reinforcement work this summer can be described as difficult. Two low-post rookies, Lithuanian defender Sarunas Jaskovy Hughes, Anfernee Hardaway who was traded to the Knicks by the Sun and then waived, this is what the Pacers have gained this summer. The current situation of the Pacers is indeed a bit worrying. Some people hope that the Pacers can continue to write glory, so naturally there is hope that the Pacers will fall off the altar, and then step on it hard.

"The so-called authorities are obsessed, and bystanders are clear. From my point of view, I don't think this is a problem. Although Reggie and his veterans have left, your main lineup has been completely preserved, so you are still in it. The strongest team in the entire league is precisely because of this, so many teams deliberately target you, because they fear you in their hearts, fear you, and with your strength, as long as there are no injuries or accidents, You will still be the favorites for the championship this season, so you don’t have to worry about this issue at all now, and it’s your top priority now to take the time to adjust your mentality and body.”

"Hmm." After hearing He Hui's words, Meng Xu also felt that it made sense, but when he thought of the cheating "God Killing Alliance" mission, Meng Xu was still a little uneasy. With the three consecutive championships in the NBA and the Olympic Games , Meng Xu is now about to enter the altar, and the media in Huaguo has already blown Meng Xu to the sky. Amidst the calls for four consecutive championships and surpassing Jordan, if the Pacers play off this season If you don't win the championship, the outside world will definitely blow up. Meng Xu, who has come to the present step by step, naturally knows how much hope and expectation he has now. Those supporters who regard themselves as gods , I absolutely don't want to see myself fail.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for Meng Xu to have no pressure. Of course, if Meng Xu can resist these pressures and overcome everything in the outside world, then Meng Xu will usher in transformation again, become more focused, and also become stronger.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat?" Although He Hui is also very busy now, as long as he has time, He Hui will always cook in person and cook something for Meng Xu. The food I ate was a matter of habit, and the taste of the nutritious meal customized for Meng Xu by Pacers' nutritionist was so bad that He Hui almost vomited when he ate it for the first time.

"Let's boil the beef. The ingredients are all ready-made." Meng Xu's recipe is tailor-made for Meng Xu by the nutritionist of the Pacers Club, so under normal circumstances, Meng Xu will eat strictly according to the recipe provided by the nutritionist. The food on the table really doesn’t have much taste at all. The chicken salad and roast beef have already made Meng Xu numb, so Meng Xu will occasionally improve a meal or two, eat a Chinese meal, or have He Hui personally cook or something .

"Okay, then just wait for a while, half an hour will be fine." Seeing Meng Xu who was in a good mood as soon as he talked about eating, a smile appeared on He Hui's face.
