"Alright, guys, it's time for us to get out there and kick the New Yorkers in the ass." In the home team locker room of the Bankers Life Arena, after Larry Bird arranged the tactical arrangements for this game, all the Pacers players in the locker room almost stood up in an instant, and it seemed that they couldn't wait to play.

"Sweep them away." Jermaine O'Neal, who was standing in the front position, also raised his right arm and shouted slogans with excitement. Meng Xu and Larry Bird's wild words at the post-game press conference became the headlines of almost all newspapers yesterday in the sports section, although Meng Xu and Larry Bird did not mention in the team to sweep the Knicks, but as the main players of the Pacers, Jermaine O'Neal's goal is the same as them, that is, to sweep the Knicks, reach the finals, and win the championship.

"Sweep them away."

"Sweep them away."

Meng Xu, who was standing in the inner position of the locker room, saw his teammates in front of him, chanting slogans in unison with high morale, and also shifted his gaze to the place where Larry Bird was at the door, and looked at each other, Meng Xu nodded towards Larry Bird.

"Audience friends, I'm Michaels, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 0102 NBA playoffs brought to you by me and Erwin, the Pacers home game against the Knicks, the players of both teams have now begun to walk out of the player tunnel, and the exciting game is about to begin."

After finishing eighth in the East last season and being eliminated in the first round, when the Pacers entered the playoffs with the first record in the East again, Pacers fans were already looking forward to the Pacers' performance in the playoffs. In the three seasons that Larry Bird last coached the Pacers, the Pacers reached the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years and reached the Finals for the first time in history, creating the most glorious history of the Pacers in the NBA. Therefore, now Pacers fans also hope that this Pacers team can achieve another glory and even win the first NBA championship in the history of the Pacers.

When the Pacers players began to walk out of the player tunnel, the entire Bankers Life Arena instantly fell into a frenzy, and the fans in the stadium shouted the names of each player in unison, and when Meng Xu was the last to play as the finale, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak, and the uniform MVP shouts continued to echo in the Bankers' Life Arena.

"What a crazy bunch of fans." Seeing the cheering fans at the Bankers Life Arena, Magic Johnson also sighed with a smile. Indiana has always been a great place to play basketball, and with the Pacers' excellent record in previous seasons, the Pacers' home attendance has always been at the top of all teams in the league, and even in the 9900 season, the Pacers set a record of 41 regular season games sold out. Although the attendance rate of this season's Pacers is not as good as that of the 9900 season, with the recovery of the team's record, in the second half of the regular season this season, the Pacers' home game once again appeared a scene of hard to find a ticket.

"Well, what should I do?" Jeff Van Gundy, who had already stood on the sidelines in advance, looked at the high-morale Pacers up and down, his mind was already blank at the moment, the gap between the Knicks and the Pacers was very obvious, but before the start of this game, James Dowlan, the owner of the Knicks, had already given Van Gundy a death order to beat the Pacers. After Meng Xu and Larry Bird vowed to sweep the Knicks, and were already thinking about the next round, James Dolan didn't know if his brain was pumping, and he also instructed himself yesterday to solve the Pacers within 3 games, fortunately, this cheating guy did not publicly say it in the media, otherwise the Knicks will definitely become the biggest laughing stock this season, and solve the Pacers in 3 games? With the current strength and state of the Knicks, it is already a blessing to be able to avoid being swept away.

I don't know why, Van Gundy, who came to his senses, thought of his teacher Pat Riley, in the 9899 season Van Gundy led the Knicks, blacked out Pat Riley's Heat in eighth place in the East, and went all the way to the Finals, Van Gundy thought that his coaching level had surpassed his teacher, but the facts told Van Gundy that as the group of players selected when Pat Riley coached the Knicks gradually left the team, the Knicks' results became worse and worse year by year, and Van Gundy could not do anything about it.

"Maybe, these are my last games as a Knicks." Dowland Jr. continues to clean the mark of the Pat Riley era, just to create a Knicks as beautiful as the Lakers, but limited by his own ability, Van Gundy can't create a beautiful offense at all, and now the Knicks are becoming more and more like a four, Van Gundy is good at defense, but there are not many players in the Knicks team who meet his tactical requirements, the boss wants to attack, but the Knicks under Van Gundy can't play a beautiful offense.

"Meng, today's game is destined to be a tough game, but I still have to tell you that we will not give up." As a humble gentleman and has a good personal relationship with Meng Xu, Alan Houston is actually unwilling to get involved in the war of words between Xiao Daolan and Meng Xu in his heart, but as the leading player of the Knicks, Alan Houston still made his position clear in front of Meng Xu.

"Alain, I won't show mercy either." Based on Meng Xu's understanding of Alan Houston, although he seems to be a peaceful and even casual person on the surface, in Alan Houston's bones, he is also a tough guy who will not admit defeat.

The feud between the Knicks and the Pacers, needless to say, this round of the series is the seventh time that the two teams have met in the playoffs in the last dozen seasons, and every glory of the Knicks is stepping on the corpse of the Pacers, and the Pacers' most glorious moment was also achieved after killing the Knicks.

"Hmph, this game, even if I fight for my life, will stop you." When the starters of the two teams began to warm up, Ratril Sprewell stared at Meng Xu in the distance, and secretly swore in his heart that in the locker room, head coach Jeff Van Gundy told Ratril Sprewell that the key to whether the Knicks can win is the defense of Meng Xu, if Meng Xu can be limited, and the connection between him and his teammates, then the Knicks have a hope of winning, so Jeff Van Gundy hopes that Sprewell, this game can concentrate 120% of his spirit, to defend Meng Xu, to limit himAt the same time, Alan Houston will also cooperate with Sprewell to wrap Meng Xu.

Since Meng Xu entered the league, every time he met the Knicks, he would soar to a high score or make a big news, so Ratril Sprewell, who was opposite Meng Xu, would become a background board every time. In this year's regular season, Ratril Sprewell, who was annoyed and angry by Meng Xu, even had the idea of abolishing Meng Xu, but was knocked out by Meng Xu with an elbow.
