Legendary star

Chapter 642 The Battle of Gods and Buddhas (1)

"Ervin, after the Spurs won the championship last season, you predicted that the NBA this season will likely form a two-horse battle between the East Pacers and the West Spurs, but the new season has continued so far, and the Spurs have indeed continued. The strength of the finals, ranked first in the Western Conference with a record of four victories, but the Pacers seem to have not yet come out of the shadow of the Auburn Hills incident, and their start is simply terrible."

"El, all of this is temporary. I believe the Pacers will soon find the rhythm of winning. Maybe after today's game, they will end their embarrassing losing streak." Under Michaels' banter, the Magic Magician Johnson's face is somewhat uncomfortable, but Magician Johnson still continues to insist on his point of view.

Whether it is the Spurs who won the championship last season, or the Pacers who lost the division finals because of the Palace of Auburn Hills, they have completely retained the main lineup of last season, plus Meng Xu and Tim Duncan, two top two players in the league , Magic Johnson firmly believes that the NBA this season will inevitably be dominated by the Spurs and the Pacers, and the final championship will definitely be one of these two teams. That's all, it's nothing.

"Haha, Erwin, you are always so reasonable." Michaels, who could not "convince" Magic Johnson, could only sigh at Magic Johnson's dead mouth.

Although today is Wednesday, there are as many as 12 NBA games played at the same time tonight, and in these 12 games, there are many revenge battles full of betrayal and dog blood, such as the Pistons vs. Kings, Nets vs. Raptors. Mavericks vs. Rockets, Pistons vs. Heat, this is a continuation of last season's playoffs, but the most watched of these games is undoubtedly the Spurs vs. Pacers game at home.

With the defending champion on the one hand and one of the most popular teams in the entire NBA on the other, plus the "Wake Forest duo" who are firmly in the league's top 3, such a game does not require any hype at all. Attracting countless fans, the ABC TV network, as the main broadcaster of the NBA, did not hesitate to abandon the other games of this round, and focused all its energy and topics on the game between the Spurs and the Pacers.

As the visiting Pacers team walked out of the player tunnel one after another, when Meng Xu, wearing the No. 5 jersey, entered the field last, the boos at the SBC Center stopped abruptly. Applause, of course, in the middle of the applause, there are also sparse boos. Although Meng Xu has left the Spurs for five seasons, Meng Xu still has a very high popularity in San Antonio, and the Spurs are dealing with Meng Xu. On the issue, it is not as thorough as the Magic and Raptors, so every time Meng Xu is a guest at the SBC Center or the Alamo Stadium, the Spurs fans at the scene are not stingy with their applause and cheers, as if Meng Xu is still wearing the same No. 5 jersey as the Spurs.

"I have to say that anyone who sees such a scene will be very envious of the treatment Meng has received here. Although he has only played here for two seasons, in the hearts of San Antonio fans, Meng Xu has become a part of Spurs history. One of the most special players in the world." As a special guest of this game, Sean Elliott, who once fought side by side with Meng Xu, is very envious of the treatment Meng Xu is receiving now. En Elliott played for the Spurs for 11 seasons, and assisted Tim Duncan and David Robinson to bring back two championship trophies for the Spurs, but in the game initiated by the Spurs fans some time ago In the voting for the greatest player in team history, Sean Elliott's votes were not as good as Meng Xu, who only played for the Spurs for two seasons, so Sean Elliott has always been very envious of Meng Xu It's not just these fans who are jealous, even the Spurs head coach Popovich and the current core of the Spurs Tim Duncan, they obviously have a special emotion for Meng Xu, and this special emotion , will never appear in oneself.

"Sean, maybe my words are a little blunt, and maybe these words will hurt you, but I still want to say that Meng is the kind of player that will never be forgotten. There is no doubt that without Meng, there may be no Spurs." The combination of Meng and Tim is always the kind of combination that will make people excited.” After Meng Xu left the Spurs, he led the Pacers to win three championship trophies, so Anyone who is a Spurs fan will have a fantasy, that is, if Meng Xu hadn't left the Spurs, how many championships could the Spurs have won?Perhaps the Spurs' management also has this fantasy in their hearts!
Of course, Sean Elliott can hear what Magic Johnson said, not to mention those Spurs fans, even Sean Elliott sometimes thinks, if Meng Xu lost to the Lakers Did not leave after the season, but chose to stay, then the current Spurs will definitely be crazier and more invincible than Jordan's Bulls. With the current age and state of Meng Xu and Tim Duncan, if they can stay in the Spurs , Let alone bring 7, 8, or even 10 championships to the Spurs.

"Meng, welcome back to the SBC Center." After the appearance ceremony, Meng Xu took the initiative to walk to the Spurs' bench and hugged the cheerful Popovich, just as Meng Xu and Popovich hugged each other Immediately afterwards, deafening cheers erupted from the SBC center.

With Meng Xu and Duncan embracing together, the atmosphere in the SBC center reached its peak. Compared with Kobe and O'Neal's tearful breakup, which was always scolding in the media, Meng Xu and Duncan even after they separated , still maintains a very good relationship, and the Spurs fans are also happy to see this happen. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

"Meng, I heard that you are not doing well right now? The gang in New York has been slamming you a lot, so for today's game, I decided to give you a big gift." After parting from Meng Xu, Duncan showed a rare expression. a smile.

"What? Are you going to release the water?" After hearing Duncan's words, Meng Xu immediately thought, are Duncan and Popovich going to release the water today?Is it because they see that they are in a difficult situation and are going to give themselves a hand?
"Let the water go? No wonder, don't you think it's exciting to lose five games in a row?"
