You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 448 Suspicion of a rookie who stopped training hard

Chapter 448 Shutdown, Hard Training, Rookie's Guess

Deals followed one another, but these two were the most influential.

After getting Webber, the Blazers did not stop.

Soon, another news came out.

The Blazers sent Isiah Ryder and Greg Anthony to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Latrell Sprewell, who was suspended for a full year.

Sprewell received a 10-day suspension for attacking his coach.

When the news broke, the public was in an uproar.

The next day, the Warriors directly canceled the three-year contract with Sprewell, totaling 2370 million.The league also announced that it would impose a one-year suspension on Sprewell.Sprewell immediately applied for arbitration, and the arbitration result overturned the Warriors' practice of annulling the contract.

The one-year suspension period has not been lifted, and Sprewell is still on the list of suspensions. The Warriors, who are determined to rebuild, dumped him cheaply to the Portland Trail Blazers, who want to build a lineup of [-] million yuan.

Paying for a starter and a rotation, we got an All-Star swingman with excellent offense and defense. In terms of player value, the Blazers are definitely profitable.

Knowing this deal, Mo Mengchen felt helpless for a while.

Leaving aside how the young super battleship of the Kings will grow, the Blazers have now accumulated a strong book lineup.

Sprewell, Webber, Sabonis, if you want to nitpick, they lack a good point guard, others, nothing, this is a strong team with terrible depth.

The only question is, neither Sprewell nor Webb is a good guy, can these two get along and stick together?
Then, someone broke out that the 76ers were actively selling Jerry Stackhouse, the Jordan successor who has now spent his rookie three years, and he proved himself to be a versatile scorer, but a team, No need to have two scorers who need a lot of possession.

Philadelphia has pinned its future on Iverson, so Stackhouse is like a liability to them.

They aggressively sought trades, and as a result, no team was willing to accept except for the Washington Wizards, who wanted to be bad, but the Wizards could only provide Theo Ratliff and some role players who were neither fancy nor useful.

Ratliff is a player that the 76ers need. His defense ability can greatly make up for Iverson's defensive problems, but he averaged only 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in the Pistons last season.

Because of the Pistons' indirect rebound policy, the team's inside rebound data is not good.

拿一个可以场均砍下20分的全明星得分手去换11+5+2的内线蓝领？76人一时间难以抉择。

After the two big deals appeared, small deals continued.

Mo Mengchen turned off the TV very early, because the part he cared about has passed, and he didn't even see the Pistons choose Brad Miller with the last pick.

Because Miller didn't have any draft prospects, Mo Mengchen didn't worry about someone cutting off his beard.

He walked into the room and called Ratliff, Reed, and Bobby Jackson respectively.

All three of them are no longer in Detroit, and some of them even learned that they were traded through Mo Mengchen.

They expressed their reluctance on the phone, while also understanding that this is all business.

The three phone calls took more than an hour. On the phone, Mo Mengchen was no longer a strict father, especially with Ratliff and Reid. They talked with each other about the three years of working together, and finally blessed each other.

Perhaps the team realized that the lockout was coming, and they signed the three rookies they selected in the draft the day after the draft.

Rasheed Wallace's deal is done, but he still needs to clear his medical.

For his arrival, Detroit is very excited.

Fans are forgetful, and Ratliff and others are not so popular in Detroit. This is the sadness of blue-collar players. They are indispensable, but they are not rare creatures. Like or not, their role is to impede the opponent's attack.

The league can't wait to turn the NBA into a sports league with only fancy offense, defense?It's better for this kind of thing to go extinct as soon as possible.

As soon as the draft is over, the lockout is just around the corner.

As early as three days before the draft, the negotiations between the players association and the owner's camp had broken down.

The main difference between labor and management is naturally the salary of the players.

The owners naturally want to control the salary of the players. Although there has been a salary cap since 1983, there are quite a lot of loopholes in it, allowing the team to pay more than the salary cap limit.

One of these is the so-called "Larry Bird exception," which allows teams to re-sign their own players for salaries above the salary cap, resulting in significantly higher amounts for those incremental contracts.

Team owners naturally hope to cancel this exception and limit the maximum salary players can get.

At the same time, the owners also demanded improved standardized contracts for rookies to prevent rookies from becoming free agents after three years.

The players, on the other hand, hope to defend the interests they gained in the negotiations in previous years, and oppose changes to the current salary cap system, especially the reform of the Bird clause.Other stances by the NBPA include opposition to individual salary caps for each player and support for raising the base salary, which 1997 percent of players received during the 98-22 season.

The time when the negotiations broke down was June 6, the draft was three days later, and the NBA officially shut down nine days later.

This is also the first time that the NBA has had a lockout that may affect the progress of the next season. Everyone is not very "proficient". Therefore, the only impact of the current lockout is that the American Basketball Association cannot select elites from the NBA to participate.

They had no choice but to choose some players from the NCAA and some low-level professional players to play in the World Championships. Even a motley crew won the bronze medal for the US team.

From the selection of the US team, the influence continued to spread.

Teams are prohibited from trading players, trying out players and meeting with players.

Because of these things, Jordan, who was about to retire, had to stop his actions and support the players association as a member of Labor. On behalf of Labor, the big guys started an unprecedented wrangling with the owner's camp.

Some people hope that Mo Mengchen will also stand up and speak out.

Mo Mengchen's influence goes beyond the players. If he is willing to stand for the players, everyone will have more confidence.

As a result, Mo Mengchen was cut off from the outside world, going back and forth to the hospital, Garleton's apartment, and the private training hall for a month.

Because during the lockout period, the team had to cut off contact with the players, even if the relationship between Mo Mengchen and the team was like glue.

The Garryton Apartment is located in Detroit's Nero neighborhood. A year ago, Mo Mengchen funded the construction of a large comprehensive gymnasium here.

This is a stadium for citizens, with basketball courts, football fields, rugby fields, golf courses and ice hockey rinks inside. There are restaurants, cafes, cinemas, shopping centers and medical centers on the second floor. The third floor belongs to Mo Mengchen.

The third floor is entirely for Mo Mengchen, a large stadium with the most advanced facilities.

He named the gymnasium simply the Nairo Sports Center.

Today, he trains here for four hours.

Of course, he's not the only one.

After the lockout happened, the rookies who had just joined the team couldn't find a place to train, so they thought of Mo Mengchen. This team leader is now in Detroit, why don't you come to say hello first, and make him familiar?

Ricky Davis, Rashard Lewis, Brad Miller came here one after another.

Mo Mengchen agreed with them to train here, but basically did not interact with them.

Although Mo Mengchen didn't interact with them, he didn't leave them alone.

While they were training, The strongest becomes king training team under Mo Mengchen made a training plan for them.

Usually, Davis and others can only observe Mo Mengchen's training from a distance.

Mo Mengchen ignored them and practiced on his own. He just wanted to let these rookies know that he was not easy to get along with, so be prepared.

Losing to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals made Mo Mengchen understand one thing.

He hasn't done enough, besides the game, there is also the usual training, and as the "father" of the team, his sternness and meanness are not enough.

From now on, he will intensify the oppression of the people around him, forcing them to struggle to survive in the team. If someone can't stand it, he can open the door of the general manager and ask for a trade.

He has the confidence to make everyone terrified of him.

That's a start.

"You say, when will the war of words of these millionaires last?"

Mike Millen talked about the stoppage while helping Mo Mengchen pass the ball.

Karen Miller, a physical trainer of the TSBK training team, said disdainfully: "I don't care, it's not my money anyway."

"But it's all about our bosses, isn't it?" Mirren laughs.

Mo Mengchen has shot a thousand mid-range jump shots in a row, with a hit rate of 92%.

TSBK chief Finn Missick asked: "Mo, how do you think this will be resolved?"

Mo Mengchen patted the ball and said, "I'm not interested."

"Look, our boss doesn't care what happens to those idlers." Miller stared at Mo Mengchen obsessively.

Mo Mengchen has always ignored this fiery obsession, and he continued to shoot.

Until you hit a thousand goals.

The middle distance has been his training focus in the past two months.

The rookies who saw his training intensity from a distance were dumbfounded.

"Dor.Mo training so hard...?"

Davis suddenly tongue-tied.

As the oldest of the three, Miller thought about the question and pointed to the point: "If he is so cruel to himself, what will happen to us who are newcomers?"

Thinking of the not-too-distant future, the three rookies of the Class of 98 shivered like falling into an ice cave.
