Chapter 726 The future is yours, the present is mine

"LeBron, you played really well tonight."

At 5:27 p.m. on May 11th, US time, the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Cavaliers finally came to a conclusion after nearly 3 hours of fierce fighting, although the Cavaliers made a final effort in today's game , but still could not avoid the result of being swept by the Pacers, and after the game, Meng Xu did not go to celebrate the victory, but walked to the side of James who was in a daze on the sidelines.

"Did I finally force you to use all your strength?" James didn't take Meng Xu's praise at all seriously. Through today's game, James clearly realized the strength gap between himself and Meng Xu. James was not satisfied with his performance. Although James scored 27 points in the first half and 39 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists in the game, in the crucial third quarter, facing Against Meng Xu's blockade, James only scored 3 points, while Meng Xu, who was defended by James, scored 23 points in a single quarter. If such a performance can be called good, then Meng Xu's performance today, It's the gods descending from the earth.

"No, because tonight, I saw your spirit of never admitting defeat. We can accept failure, but we cannot be defeated by failure." After seeing James take his comfort as a mockery, Meng Xu smiled at him Explained a few words.

"Thank you." After listening to Meng Xu's explanation, James let go of the burden in his heart and hugged Meng Xu with open arms: "Meng, maybe next season, maybe next season , sooner or later, I will defeat you!"

"LeBron, you are still young, you are already very strong now, this league will be yours sooner or later, but now he is still mine!" When he and James were about to separate, Meng Xu said again very shamelessly , the future is yours!
After a burst of consolation from Meng Xu, James lost the Eastern Conference finals, and the haze that shrouded his heart gradually dissipated. James believed what Meng Xu said, the future NBA belongs to him, and what he has to do now is Train harder, constantly enhance your own strength, and look for opportunities to overthrow Meng Xu's rule in one fell swoop, so as to reach the pinnacle of this league.

"Mike, you did a great job. When I was in San Antonio, I never thought that we would meet in the conference finals. Of course, fortunately, I beat your team." After parting with James , Meng Xu walked to Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown and hugged this old acquaintance.

When Meng Xu was selected by the Spurs, Mike Brown served as an assistant coach for the Spurs. When Meng Xu left, Mike Brown was still an assistant coach for the Spurs, so Meng Xu and Mike Brown are also very familiar .

"Meng, if there is a choice, I don't want my team to meet you in the playoffs." Although it is difficult to accept the ending of being swept by the Pacers, the game is over now, and Mike Brown He didn't have any prejudice against Meng Xu, so he returned to the field and returned to the field. After hugging Meng Xu, Mike Brown also made a joke with Meng Xu, although he said He didn't want to meet Meng Xu again in the playoffs, but what Mike Brown thought in his heart was that he could meet the Pacers again in the playoffs one day, so as to avenge his hatred.

While the players from both sides were still greeting each other and the winner was comforting the loser, the staff at the scene were already preparing for the award ceremony of the Eastern Conference champions. As today’s protagonist, the Pacers also returned to the locker room to go Wear the championship gear the league prepared for them.

. . . . . .

"Meng, first of all, congratulations to your team for winning the Eastern Conference Championship again and reaching the finals. This is the fifth time you have reached the finals in the last six seasons. The only teams that surpass you in this respect are the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls."

After the pleasantries on the court and the awards ceremony, Meng Xu and James attended the post-match press conference. As soon as Meng Xu sat down, the media in the audience praised the Pacers' record. He was very disdainful of their sloppy behavior, but Meng Xu still accepted their praise and congratulations.

These media are like this. When you are facing difficulties or are in a desperate situation, no one will help you, and they even want to step on you, but once you become the winner, then you will be the winner. The focus of thousands of pets, except for some hard-headed media, most of the media will send you praise and flattery.

"Meng, we all know that now all the media are discussing who is stronger between you and Michael, and you are breaking Michael's records one after another, so many people think that you are already Better than Michael, so, can you tell me what you think?"

"It's a mess." Listening to the Los Angeles Times reporter's question, Meng Xu felt a little affection for them just now, but was thrown out of the blue in an instant. The topic Meng Xu hates the most now is who is stronger and who is weaker between himself and Jordan It was discussed, not only because Jordan is Meng Xu's idol, but more importantly, the response to this kind of question is very easy to recruit. Meng Xu has a lot of fans now. If only in terms of number, they have already surpassed Jordan. Yes, but Jordan’s fan base is also very large. The executives of Mike’s company have repeatedly emphasized to Meng Xu not to get involved in this topic, so as not to cause confrontation between the supporters of both sides. After all, both Meng Xu and Jordan are now It is Nike's cash cow.

"Everyone knows that Michael is my idol, and of course it's not just me. Michael is the idol of many people in this league. We all regard Michael as a guide on the way forward and an object we want to surpass." In fact, Meng Xu didn't want to answer this question at all, but the league now has regulations that cannot refuse media questions at the post-match press conference, so when Meng Xu answered this question, he first pulled in many people in the league. Does the law not blame the public?

"As for the question of who is better between me and Michael, at present, Michael is better, because Michael has 6 championships, and I only have 5." Meng Xu can't admit that he is not as good as Jordan, nor can he say that he is worse than Jordan. Strong, so Meng Xu shifted the question of who is stronger between the two sides to who has more champions.

"Meng, we remember that when you beat the Dallas Mavericks to win the fourth championship, you once said that when you have more championships than Michael, you will choose to quit the league like Michael. I don't know you Are you serious?" Compared with the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times is even more unscrupulous, holding on to Meng Xu's words for several years.

"Of course it's serious." Meng Xu answered the New York Times reporter's question with a smile on his face, but he kept cursing MMP secretly in his heart, and even greeted all the immediate family members of the reporter.
