You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1054 Gobbling, gobbling

17th Chapter [-] Gobbling and Gobbling

The plane landed in Houston, and Mo Mengchen appeared with Anthony and Curry, attracting a large number of media.

A total of four people came for the Pistons trip.

Not to mention Mo Mengchen, Anthony and Curry who participated in the All-Star Game, there is also Jerome Williams who joined in the fun.

An important reason why Jerome followed the rare holidays to Houston was that he thought this might be his last All-Star Weekend.

He's been seriously considering retirement lately.

Although he can still play games, his fragile body prevents him from doing his best as he was when he was young. Coupled with the fact that the team's positioning is becoming more and more marginalized, the idea of ​​​​retirement also arises.

As for his final decision, no one knows, Mo Mengchen had no choice but to invite him to go to Houston together, maybe the atmosphere of Space City can arouse his idea of ​​playing for a few more years.

Garbage dog is still the main substitute for the current Pistons, but it is not because of his strength, but because of the rare shortage of personnel in the Pistons this season.

Rasheed's departure left their power forward position extremely weak, and Gerrard is adapting to this position. Jerome and another veteran Dale Davis will help him share a lot of pressure.

"Dor.Mo, what impression do you have of Houston?"

"Of course, Houston and I are old acquaintances." Mo Mengchen joked, "I'm talking about Alan Houston."

The savvy reporters laughed out loud.

The three Pistons were famous in the league back then. Houston was also a meritorious player of the Pistons Dynasty. The first No. [-] player in the first three championships made great achievements for the establishment of the Pistons Dynasty. player of.

"Alan Houston has suffered consecutive injuries in recent years. What do you think is the reason?" A local reporter asked.

The media in Aerotropolis loves and hates Houston. What they love is that he is indeed capable, otherwise the team would not have taken him away from Detroit with a maximum salary.

In the first few years after signing the maximum salary contract, Houston reached the peak of his career. He teamed up with Pierce and brought the Rockets to the semifinals in the best year.

Just when the fans were looking forward to their next development, he was injured, and he was injured consecutively. He had just recovered from his injury, and after playing a few games, he returned to the factory for overhaul.

Mo Mengchen expressed deep sympathy, but there was nothing he could do: "The sky is unpredictable, and I don't know what caused Alan to be seriously injured."

"As a doctor, can you give him some advice?"

"Believe me, the Rockets' team doctor gave him more comprehensive advice than me." Mo Mengchen said, "No one wants to be injured. Sometimes we have taken all precautions, but injuries will still come to us."

Mo Mengchen is definitely the best player in the league to maintain his body.

When he entered the league that year, the team doctors of each team believed that he could not survive a season. As a result, he not only survived his rookie season, but also played eleven consecutive seasons in a healthy state.

From 1995 to the present, the most serious injuries Mo Mengchen suffered were colds, cramps and strains, and his left and right knees were never injured again.

This is generally considered a miracle by sports medicine experts.

Many people hope that Mo Mengchen will publish a book about sports and health preservation, but Mo Mengchen has always refused.

Everyone knows the so-called maintenance, and there are only a few things. If there are hidden dangers in this area, they will definitely do enough maintenance, but some people are just unlucky and will get injured.

He has maintained his health all these years. On the one hand, it is luck, on the other hand, it is the help of the system, and on the other hand, it is maintenance.

No matter how high his attributes and overall evaluation are, the health attribute points of his left and right knees are both 35 and 30, which is already the minimum health standard for the system.

He has been able to survive without injury, and he often feels lucky for himself.

After dealing with the reporter, the Pistons and their party got into the special car of the bodyguard Luca Adriano brought by Mo Mengchen.

"Where are we going, Dad?" Curry asked.

"Since I'm in Houston, I have to go to this place." Mo Mengchen said, "I really like a noodle shop."

As a textbook licking dog, Jerome echoed: "It's definitely not wrong to be valued by the old man."

"Don't tell me too soon," Anthony said recently, more and more like to contradict others, "everyone has different tastes."

Adriano took them to the place according to Mo Mengchen's instructions.

This is a Chinese-style noodle restaurant with a very Chinese name. It says "Old Place" in Chinese, and it is marked with striking pinyin letters in Chinese.

"Mr. Mo, I knew you had to come." The owner of the old noodle restaurant, surnamed Tang, is from BJ.

Mo Mengchen brought in everything including Adriano: "Why does the boss know I'm coming?" (Chinese)

Boss Tang smiled and said, "All-Star Weekend, it's spread all over the neighborhood. You have such a big wrist, of course you will participate. I'm thinking that you don't like other places besides my noodle restaurant."

Mo Mengchen smiled lightly and said, "I'm easy to arrange, but my friends are tricky, so you need to worry more."

"Hey, these Yankees are easy to deal with!" Boss Tang said with a smile on his face.

Because he heard Mo Mengchen say "I'm easy to arrange", if this old man thinks he is easy to arrange, there should be no one on earth who is not easy to arrange.

Every time Mo Mengchen went to an away game, the restaurant in that place would suffer, especially the restaurant opened by the Chinese. If the taste was not right, he would point it out on the spot.

If a number one person like him thinks the food is not tasty, those who come here for the name will naturally leave for the name.

When Mo Mengchen came to visit with a few pony boys, Boss Tang was also apprehensive for a long time, and finally got a suspected compliment of "Finally there is a family that can eat noodles".

Mo Mengchen and his teammates were seated, and Boss Tang hurried to the kitchen to give orders.

"Dad, what were you muttering to him just now?" Curry asked.

"I'll let him treat you well." Mo Mengchen said, "Even if it's unpalatable later, you have to finish the food and don't waste the food, understand?"

Everyone agreed.

After a while, hot noodles were served, and Mo Mengchen's color was obviously different from the others.

Curry's noodle is the version carefully improved by Boss Tang to cater to the taste of Americans, while Mo Mengchen's is the authentic Chinese taste.It’s not that Boss Tang’s cooking is so good, but that other Chinese noodle restaurants in the vicinity have forgotten the original method in order to cater to American tastes, and the food they make is disgusting and unpalatable. How can a person who is so happy leave the table angrily after just one bite?No, he is well-bred if he didn't overthrow those shitty American Chinese food.

Everyone began to taste, and the evaluations given were relatively consistent.

It's all a good word, I don't know if it's for Mo Mengchen's sake, or it's really delicious.

"Dad, didn't Alan say there was a stage play tonight?" Seeing Jerome like this, he was also invited.

Mo Mengchen nodded, "Do you want to go with me?"

"Since we're here, it's not for nothing. I'm curious how this guy acts." Jerome said with a smile.

Anthony and Curry were not interested in this matter. When they joined the team, Houston was no longer in the Pistons, so there was no friendship.

These guys were eating noodles and dumplings, their mouths could not be idle, pointing out the country, full of enthusiasm.

The most intense dispute between them is this year's starting center in the Eastern Conference.

"What do you think, Yao or I, which one is more worthy of starting?" Curry asked confidently.

Because all the people present were teammates, and the only person who was not a teammate was Mo Mengchen's bodyguard. This girl should not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, but should follow along with a few compliments.

Anthony asked: "In addition to scoring more rebounds and assists than him, what other advantages do you have?"

Curry didn't expect Anthony to be so harsh: "Is this not enough?"

"Not enough, you don't have 13 billion Chinese people as the foundation, of course not enough." Anthony gave him a blank look.

In fact, no matter what stats Curry puts up, it is impossible for him to grab the starting lineup from Yao Huang.

In his rookie season, Yao Huang overwhelmed O'Neal with the crowd tactics from the East and became the center player with the most votes. That was the peak O'Neal, a beast with an average of 30+14+4 per game. Was upstaged by rookie Yao Huang, let alone now?
In terms of statistics, Curry averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game this season. He is basically regarded as one of the top three centers in the league. Except for O'Neal, who still has a lot of power, no center is obviously stronger than him.

It's just that in the Pistons, his statistics are watery in the eyes of others, because there are two outsiders, Mo Mengchen and Anthony, to help him share the pressure.

Regarding this matter, it is still Jerome who sees it most clearly: "The All-Star starter or the All-Star substitute is just a reputation, no distinction is made, there is nothing to argue about, do you still want to play 30 minutes to entertain the public? With this What's wrong with energy?"

Jerome almost went to Mo Mengchen's heart.

Since he announced the identity of Ethan in the 1997-1998 season, he has been elected as the vote leader for nine consecutive years and eight times. The only year he was not the vote leader was the last year of the second dynasty of the Bulls. He lost to the unstoppable Jordan by a narrow margin. .

In the past nine years, eight of the good vacations were wasted on the All-Star Weekend. Even in the first two seasons when he was not selected as an All-Star, for the sake of socializing, he worked tirelessly to follow Hill, Dumars and others to the All-Star Weekend. The city joins in the fun.

It can be said that in 11 years, he has not had a carefree All-Star vacation like everyone else for ten years.

While chattering and gobbling, the time passed quickly and my stomach was full.
