You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1110 Extra Story: Mom and Dad's Curtain Call

2014/10/31

Detroit, Empire Axis Arena.

Today is the opening game of the regular season of the NBA2013-2014 season.

Last season, under the leadership of Carmelo Anthony, Eddie Curry and Brandon Roy, the Pistons won the No. 14 championship in team history and the No. 1999 championship since 12.

The Pistons are undoubtedly the greatest sports club so far in the 21st century. They created a legend of ten consecutive championships and wrote an immortal chapter of 15 championships in 12 years.

Tonight is their championship flag raising ceremony and ring awarding ceremony.

There is also a ceremony-the retirement ceremony of the jerseys of Grant Hill and Mo Mengchen.

Many new fans are very puzzled, why is the best player in NBA history, one of the greatest athletes of the 21st century - why did Dor. Mo get the honor he deserved after so many years of retirement?

Former Pistons general manager Joe Dumars gave the answer: "He wants to retire the jersey with Grant."

Hoping to retire the jersey with Hill sounds more like an excuse. For the world, Dor.Mo is a familiar yet unfamiliar cultural symbol.

Before 2007, he was surrounded everywhere in the world.

After 2007, people can only find his greatness through game videos and the stories he left behind.

He occasionally makes some news and attracts the attention of the world, but he is no longer the focus of the world.

Tonight, after seven years, he will be in the spotlight again, is he okay?

The Pistons defeated the old rival Spurs in the opener and won their first victory of the season.

At the end of the game, the audience stood up together. Mo Mengchen and Hill, dressed in suits, walked into the stadium slowly.

Many elderly fans dragged their families to the scene, and they almost broke their throats.

Seven years later, the 41-year-old Dor.Mo still looks young, not as bald as Hill.

Even after retiring for many years, that invincible momentum still exists.

"I wish these people were crazy about me." Hill said gloomily.

Mo Mengchen said lightly: "This is called the beauty of distance."

"Yeah." Hill said with emotion, "If I had known this, I might as well have retired with you."

Mo Mengchen smiled lightly: "If you retire with me, you won't be able to witness the great ten consecutive championships, and you won't be able to surpass Bill Russell and become the player with the most championships in history."

The great Lord of the Rings career won a total of 11 titles.

And what about Hill?In a more intense and competitive era, he created ten consecutive championships with the team. He played for the Pistons in his 18-year career. He won 12 championships, surpassing Russell and becoming the player with the most championships in NBA history. .

Hill smiled, he really has nothing to regret, his career is so brilliant.

"Let's start counting down!"

The audience counted down from 10, and the voice became louder and louder.

Mo Mengchen and Hill's career highlights were played on the top of the screen.

In 1994, Hill joined the Pistons with the third overall pick in the first round.

In 1995, Mo Mengchen joined the Pistons with the No.18 pick in the first round.

They fought side by side and defended against powerful enemies together.

In the first round of the playoffs in 1996, he lost five games in the bloody battle with the Magic;
In the semi-finals of 1997, the Bulls were defeated in five games;

In the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals tie-breaker, Jordan lore;

Then, the built-in music of the collection became exciting, and the voices of the live audience became more and more enthusiastic.

In 1999, the season was suspended, and this year belonged to Hill.

In 2000, at the turn of the century, Dor.Mo "witnessed" the sixth game of the finals to kill the Lakers with free throws, and the kingship was confirmed.

In 2001, Gor.Mo came, and the three consecutive championships were achieved!

In 2002, Eddie Curry joined and turned the legend. Are they the future of the Pistons?

In 2003, 77 wins in the regular season, [-]% in the playoffs, five consecutive championships, the Pistons touched eternity!
In 2004, the greatness continued, unstoppable.

In 2005, the expansion draft, the Pistons were seriously injured, so what?Don't underestimate a heart chasing the best in history.

In 2006, Rashid traveled westward, Hill was reimbursed for the season, and Dor.Mo was alone?No, legends don't die.

In 2007, the scepter was handed over, surpassing the predecessors, and achieved nine consecutive championships!
In 2008, ten consecutive championships established the era and dominated the league.

In 2009, injuries fell and myths shattered.

In 2010, the system changed, and the Eastern Conference was defeated.

In 2011, all the staff rose up, and the Grant Hill finals fell from the sky, and the blood of the veterans has not yet been shed.

In 2012, the saga would come to an end, with the Pistons out in the semifinals.

In 2013, Grant Hill's last dance, the Pistons united to win 12 championships.

The screen became pitch black, and a mass of words floated out.

"We are honored to witness your legend!"

Accompanied by high-spirited music and live lighting, Mo Mengchen and Hill need to give a final speech.

Hill's speech by himself took up 10 to [-] minutes, and Mo Mengchen felt drowsy listening, and then he finally finished his stinky and long speech, which the audience liked very much.

"After listening to Grant's speech, I almost fell asleep." Mo Mengchen's first words caused laughter from the audience.

Mo Mengchen moved forward slightly, and following the shouts from the scene, he said, "I still want to say something, long time no see."

"I have met many people in my life. They have given me help and motivation, and inspired me to move forward. If I want to thank you, I can't thank you enough for a day and a night here. I have thought a lot. What I should be most grateful for is The city of Detroit." The audience's shouts interrupted Mo Mengchen again, and he had to stop and wait for the sound to stop.

"I have a special connection with Detroit." Mo Mengchen said, "When I came here for a trial training in 1995, I met my wife, Ephraim, at the international airport."

Applause interrupted him.

"From that point on, I just felt like I was going to make a little difference here."

When Mo Mengchen said "one point", the audience was amused by him.

Even Hill was muttering: "That's really a big point."

"So, first of all, I want to thank Detroit for the love, friendship, and career that this great city has given me."

"I would also like to thank the fans who came to the scene and those who didn't. Thank you for your selfless love and support."

"I would like to thank my teammates more, thank them for their tolerance and trust, so that I can lead them forward."

Mo Mengchen said: "Finally, I would like to thank my family for their support and help, their love and motivation for me, allowing you to see Dor.Mo on the court."

Horrific screams swept through the Empire Axis Arena.

More than 3 spectators roared together.

"When you love a city and have often wandered and explored it, not only your soul but your body become so familiar with the streets that, years later, in a puff of light snow, perhaps caused by sorrow, In sadness, your legs will automatically take you to your favorite corner." Mo Mengchen said, "This is what Detroit means to me, and this is why I am standing here tonight, thank you for your love. "

Mo Mengchen's speech was very fluent. It could be seen that he had memorized the speech script early on, and he might have practiced it hundreds of times in private, otherwise he would not have spoken so fluently.

Hill spent less than 10 minutes in his 10-minute speech, and when he handed over the microphone, the farewell ceremony ended.

现场的呼声一阵高过一浪，接着，莫蒙尘和希尔，陪同家人，注视着9号球衣和33号球衣一起升空，与活塞的十四面冠军旗，和戴夫·宾的2号、查克·戴利的2号、鲍勃·兰尼尔的16号、维尼尔·约翰逊的15号、丹尼斯·罗德曼的10号、以赛亚·托马斯的11号、比尔·兰比尔的40号、杰罗姆·威廉姆斯的13号、贾马尔·马格洛伊尔的20号、路易斯·M·洛尔的7号、拉希德·华莱士的30号、一起成为了活塞队史的一部分。

Mo Mengchen and Hill hugged on the spot.

The greatest duo in NBA history, the two superstars standing on the President's Hill, after tonight, will bid farewell to the team they have played for their entire lives.

The next day, the whole city of Detroit was still filled with the sad atmosphere of farewell.

Mo Mengchen went back to Garidon's apartment to stay overnight. He wanted to sleep in, but a golden retriever in his prime woke him up.

This golden retriever is Buddy's daughter, named Heidi.

Because when it was born, Madeira watched a movie called "Heidi and Grandpa", so she named it Heidi.

Heidi woke up Mo Mengchen because someone came to visit him. This person was none other than Grant Hill, who retired his jersey with Mo Mengchen yesterday.

"I don't welcome idlers here." Mo Mengchen said to Hill.

Hill asked, "What's next for you?"

"There is something at home, about the lion, I have to go back." Mo Mengchen said.

Hill knew he was talking about the lion cub he had bought from the zoo, which he had seen.

In recent years, Mo Mengchen has become a well-known rancher in Australia in addition to specializing in cooking and cooking, but his ranch is more like a hunting ground exclusively for Grace, like a small wild animal park.

His life is peaceful and interesting, unlike Hill.

"I'm going to join TNT as a commentator," Hill said.

Mo Mengchen said, "Say hello to Chuck and Kenny for me."

After chatting for a while, they decided to go out for lunch and relive the feeling of the year.

Mo Mengchen and Hill dressed up, and it was hard for even die-hard fans to recognize them.

In this way, two people and one dog appeared in Detroit's famous restaurant - Danny and Jon.

They entered and chose a good place. The guests around did not recognize them, but cast strange glances at Heidi who followed them in.

"When did this restaurant open?"

"After you retire."

"No wonder." The reason why Mo Mengchen said this is because when he was in Detroit, he basically visited all the restaurants in the city, and even rated the best restaurants and the worst restaurants. His memory has always been very good, he can't remember There was such a restaurant at that time, so I asked this question.

The waitress came over and put the menu on their table. Seeing the golden retriever sitting obediently on the side, she said, "Sir, we have five rules here."

"Oh? Which five?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.

In fact, he had seen this rule on the wall long before he entered the store.

The waitress rolled her eyes when she was asked, "No noise, no disturbing other people's meals, no smoking, no pets."

"Are you talking about her?" Mo Mengchen pointed at Heidi, "She is not a pet, she is my friend."

As he said that, Mo Mengchen lowered his head and said to Heidi: "This lady actually said that you are my pet."

So Heidi put on a fierce look and stared at the waitress.

"Please cooperate!" The waitress backed away in shock.

Hill laughed and said, "Stop teasing her, why don't we change places?"

"Wait, isn't there five rules? You only mentioned four." Mo Mengchen said, "Is there one more?"

"Our store's rules." The waiter could hardly stand this nagging weirdo, "One, no noise; two, no interference with other people's meals; three, no smoking; four, no pets; five, unless you are Dor.Mo, he Enjoy all the privileges in this shop!"

After finishing speaking, the waitress paused and looked at Mo Mengchen playfully: "If you are Dor.Mo, let alone us, the whole of Detroit will give you the green light."

Hill didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mo Mengchen slowly took off the wig, the beard, and finally the sunglasses.Thus, that priceless face fell into the sight of the waitress.

"If there are no other questions, can we start ordering?"
