Chapter 756 Retire after winning the championship?
"Meng, is what you said to the media yesterday true?" On February 2008, 2, the day of the All-Star Game, Meng Xu, who hadn't woken up yet, was surrounded by a group of people including Kobe, James, and Wade. I was stuck on the bed and asked him what he said to the media yesterday, whether it was a momentary gaffe, or he really had such a plan.

"What did I say?" Meng Xu, who was still sleepy, was a little confused for a while after seeing the large group of people surrounding his bed. What did he say to make them like this? Mobilize the crowd to block yourself.

"Look at this." After seeing that Meng Xu was still a little confused, Kobe directly threw the newspaper in his hand to Meng Xu.

"This one." Picking up the New York Times that Kobe threw over, Meng Xu rubbed his eyes after looking at the headlines in the sports section, and said to the people in front of him, "I said it, what's wrong?"

"Want to retire after winning the championship? Go and live your dream!" After getting Meng Xu's affirmative answer, Kobe's attitude changed immediately. After scolding Meng Xu angrily, he slammed the door and left.

"Boss, have you been stimulated by something?" After Kobe left, Meng Xu's room became cold in an instant. After waiting for a long time, Dwyane Wade asked Meng Xu softly, Behind Wade, Chris Paul and Andre Iguodala also looked at Meng Xu with the same expression as Wade.

"What kind of stimulation can I get? I just feel that I have less and less fighting spirit. In the past, I was eager to compete and win, but when you find everything is within your reach, you will feel that everything has become less and less meaningful."

"Pretentious!" After Meng Xu finished speaking, everyone at the scene fell silent again, and Anna's voice sounded next to Meng Xu's ear. Meng Xu's words could be said to be Hong Guoguo's pretentiousness.

"Okay, I'm just retiring. It's like you're holding a memorial service for me. Be happier. There's a big meal waiting for you tonight." Looking at the group of people in front of them, they all looked depressed. , Meng Xu was also very angry, what kind of expressions were they all, those who didn't know thought they were holding a memorial service for some old senior.

"Okay, okay, it's all gone, I haven't woken up yet." He stretched out his arms and waved at them, and Meng Xu pulled up the quilt again and covered his head.

After Meng Xu got into the bed, everyone in the room left one after another, but Meng Xu, who had been woken up, was not sleepy at all, and opened his eyes in the bed, thinking about what happened yesterday.

Due to the fact that the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is becoming more and more mediocre, the NBA invited a few veterans to participate in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. In the end, Meng Xu won this year's Slam Dunk Contest with two 49-point dunks. The champion of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and also became the oldest All-Star Slam Dunk King in NBA history.

And after all the All-Star games were over that day, Meng Xu was blocked by many media outside the player channel. Originally, Meng Xu thought they would ask some questions. Congratulations, you won the honor of Dunk King.Or as the oldest slam dunk king, what do you think, but the reporter from the New York Times, the first question he came up with was: Meng, if you won the championship this season, would you choose to retire? ?

Meng Xu has never forgotten that GB reporter until now. After asking questions, he had a smug expression on his face. Ever since Meng Xu made the joke that he would retire after surpassing Jordan in the third consecutive year, these reporters from the New York Times, Every so often, he would jump out to remind Meng Xu, trying to embarrass Meng Xu.

"Of course I will keep my promise." Meng Xu, who was secretly cursing MMP in his heart, answered the GB reporter's question with a smile on his face, then squeezed away from the crowd and returned to consciousness.

Although the number of championships surpassing Jordan has become a common topic under the constant speculation of the New York Times, but Meng Xu has really reached the point where the number of championships may exceed Jordan. If the Pacers win this season, Then Meng Xu, like Jordan, has created two dynasties, and it is even more terrifying with 7 championships in 6 years. Therefore, when Meng Xu was interviewed by many reporters, he said very clearly that he would abide by his original promise. The news that Meng Xu may choose to retire after the end of this season immediately made headlines in the sports section of most newspapers.

After Meng Xu's words became the focus of public opinion on the day of the All-Star Game, even the limelight of the All-Star Game was overshadowed for a while, and He Hui, who is Meng Xu's agent, has now become the leader of all NBA stars. One of the busiest agents, from NBA commissioner David Stern, to Pacers owner Simon Brothers, to numerous sponsors, all called to inquire about the authenticity of this matter.

However, in this "Meng Xu's retirement" turmoil, there are also many countercurrents. Lakers star Kobe Bryant and Cavaliers star LeBron James said in an interview with reporters that they would not let Meng Xu be so easy. After all, the premise of Meng Xu's retirement is to win the championship this season, and it is still unknown whether the Pacers can win the championship this season. If he was defeated in the post-match, what Meng Xu said now was like saying nothing.

"The Pacers are a strong team, but they have lost many key players this season, so their playoffs this season will not be as easy as in previous years. Cavaliers, Celtics, It is possible to keep them out of the finals, so I think it is a bit premature to discuss about Meng's retirement after winning the championship." James, who has the title, undoubtedly does not want Meng Xu to retire like this, because James has not yet realized his wish to defeat Meng Xu when he entered the league, so James' first thought after reading the newspaper was that he must Eliminate the Pacers in the playoffs this season.

"What LeBron said is very good. This is my opinion. Even if Meng's team succeeds in breaking through from the East, I will let you know that his era of dominance is over. Do you want to win this season's championship and then retire? None! "Compared to LeBron James, Kobe was less reserved when he was interviewed. Kobe wanted to beat Meng Xu even more than James, so he would never allow Meng Xu to lose to himself. retired before.
