You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 589 The Fifth Hint

The first home game of the Pistons this season will be held on November 11th. At that time, they will also carry out the championship flag-raising ceremony and ring award ceremony at home.

This day is very special for them.

And this day's opponent is the 76ers from Philadelphia.

The new season has begun, and the enthusiasm of the Pistons remains high, because they had a scandal in the preseason, but they beat their opponents in the finals of last season on the opening night.

Some media who were ready to shoot at them had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

There will be many people participating in the evening game.

Team owners, shareholders, sponsors, politicians.

Pistons star Dave Bing confirmed that he will attend tonight's game. He is a popular candidate for the next mayor. He came from the Pistons and chose to go into politics. The Pistons are the cornerstone behind him. He is closely related to the Pistons. The stronger Detroit's momentum is, the more advantageous it will be for the next year's election.

What's interesting is that Dave Bing's biggest competitor, who has been biased towards the Red Wings in public opinion before, but Keith Patrick, who has no clear team, will also come to Auburn Hills to watch the game as a guest tonight.

Before the start of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers who came from afar said early that they would not enter the arena to witness the Pistons' championship flag-raising ceremony and ring awarding ceremony.

Their attitude towards this matter is quite controversial, because except for the overall runner-up, most teams are willing to witness the raising of the championship flag and the awarding of the ring.

Although there is no such thing as good fortune in the West, watching the other party receive the highest honor at a close distance is also a kind of encouragement to oneself.

However, just thinking about how the 76ers were eliminated in the playoffs last season, it is not difficult to understand why they don't want to witness the sacred moment of the Pistons at home.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference last season, the Pistons met the 76ers.

Because of the huge gap in strength, the 76ers lost three games in a row without much resistance, and were simply eliminated. Perhaps in their view, the Pistons' championship flag and championship ring were stained with their blood.

That night, the entire Pistons team came to the scene an hour early.

Except for Joe Dumars, all the champion members of last season stayed on the team. Joe Dumars, who was promoted to general manager, also attended the event tonight. He will also receive his third championship ring tonight.

The championship trophy was displayed at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and David Stern made an impassioned speech.

"I am very happy to see the rise of the Pistons. For a long time, Detroit has been a big sports city"

"Your greatness has attracted the attention of the world."

"Now I announce the official start of the championship ring awarding ceremony."

The Pistons players came to the field wearing uniforms, and Stern walked up to them and handed out the rings one by one.

Team owner Bill Davidson first accepted Stern's congratulations.

Stern does have a man to thank for building a super popular team that may have had little to do with him, but he is the one who pays the bills.

He must be the most important, there is no doubt about that.

Barkley's eyes are particularly eager. This is something he has been looking forward to for more than ten years, and now he is finally getting it. Starting today, he is also a person with a ring.

Stern walked up to him and said, "Congratulations, Charles."

Barkley, who has been reckless all his life, also said politely at this moment: "I am very honored, sir."

Barkley took Stern's ring and regarded it as a treasure.

"Chuck, you have a ring too." Dumas laughed.

Barkley is all about being silly.

Then, Stern finally walked in front of Hill and Mo Mengchen.

Hill first, the two congratulated each other like gentlemen, the president handed the ring to Devil Mountain, and then went to the next one.

Mo Mengchen faced Stern.

Last year's Finals convinced Stern that Mo Mengchen was crucial if the NBA wanted to reach new heights after Jordan's generation retired.

This 26-year-old young man is topical, powerful, influential, and has a vibrant team. The ratings of the fourth and fifth games of the finals last season all broke 17, second only to Game98 of the 6 Finals and Game93 of the 6 Finals.

"Keep going, Mo."

Looking at this young man who appeared like a comet and illuminated the league, the president said meaningfully.

Mo Mengchen smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you."

He took the ring.

He didn't wear the ring on his finger, what he valued was not this symbolic ring, what he valued was victory, defeating his opponent in the finals, watching the opponent's year-long efforts in vain, everyone was frustrated Even a heartbroken look.

That is the real victory.

That's the thrilling victory.

The ring is just a decoration.

Then came the flag-raising ceremony of the championship flag. The lights in the audience were dimmed, and the music of "Legend Never Dies" sounded. Amidst the cheers of everyone, the championship flag of the 1998-1999 season was raised above the Palace of Auburn Hills. It carried the history and glory. Will be remembered by this arena forever.

In the next ten minutes of warm-up time, Mo Mengchen brought his championship ring to the family seats.

Ephraim, Madeira, and Adrian sit here.

Because Ephraim has always wanted to see the championship ring, Mo Mengchen brought it to Ephraim as soon as he got the ring tonight.

Madeira and Adrian also brought their heads closer, wanting to see what Mo Mengchen and the others had been fighting for a whole year.

"Can I put it on my hand?" Ephraim asked.

Mo Mengchen asked: "Which finger do you want me to put on for you?"

Ephraim put away the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and little finger of his left hand, leaving only the ring finger outside: "Just wear it on this."

Ring finger?OMG, [-]th hint this month!
Ever since they returned from Duamarez in August, Ephraim has been thinking about getting married. She has been stimulated, and she may also feel that she is not young—she is the same age as Mo Mengchen.

She didn't say it directly, but hinted in various ways.

Tonight's hint was a clever one.

"No problem." Mo Mengchen put the championship ring on Ephraim's ring finger.

"Is Dor.Mo proposing to her girlfriend?"

"Ring finger!"

"Did you see it? It's the ring finger!"

"NOOOOOOO!!!"

Mo Mengchen's fans are going to be heartbroken.

Ephraim teased ambiguously, "Are you proposing to me, Doctor Mo?"

"If yes, this proposal is not formal enough, because I didn't kneel on one knee, let alone ask your opinion." Mo Mengchen replied cautiously.

Ephraim asked, "Then you want to know my answer?"

"Let's wait until the game is over."

If you don't go, something will happen.

Mo Mengchen turned around and left, returned to the field, ready to warm up, he didn't know what he was hiding.

After four years of acquaintance, he knows Ephraim from the bottom up, and their relationship has no room for improvement other than entering the palace of marriage.

"You proposed?" Hill asked.

"No." Mo Mengchen said.

"No marriage proposal?" Hill asked in surprise, "Then why did you put the ring on her ring finger?"

Mo Mengchen said, "Ephraim asked for it."

Hearing this, Hill's expression became even more playful: "Don't tell me you don't understand what this means."

"I understand, I'm just... I'm just not ready yet." Mo Mengchen said.

Hill is not easy to get involved in this kind of thing, he finally said: "Take the initiative, it will not look good to be forced into marriage, and you don't seem like an indecisive person."

Mo Mengchen's resistance to marriage comes from his previous life.

He believes that marriage may destroy a relationship, because the feeling and meaning of two people are completely different from being passionately in love to being married.

The two lived together from then on, and there would be conflicts in their habits, hobbies, and interests. Over time, they became conflicts. Through the precipitation of time, love either became dull or turned into a close family relationship. No matter what, Mo Mengchen None are ready.

Two minutes later, the 2ers returned.

This season, the 76ers made a good deal in the offseason for the playoffs.

They finally sold Jerry Stackhouse, in a big deal.

That deal landed them Clifford Robinson, whom Larry Brown had been dreaming of, and at the same time, they threw Theo Ratliff a big contract in the offseason, incurring the former Pistons player Under his command, he formed a sturdy inside pair of double halberds.

Robinson is in a help defense situation, with unlimited vitality, and the offensive end can be pulled beyond the three-point line to shoot the basket; Ratliff is also good at help defense. The difference between him and Robinson is that one is a half-court sweeper, and sweeps up gaps and omissions. One is the big devil who protects the penalty area and protects the basket. As for his offense, after three years of training by Mo Mengchen, he has developed a stable free throw line jumper.

Two insiders who can defend and shoot ensure that Iverson will get enough space to break through.

After Larry Brown joined the 76ers, Iverson was placed in the 2nd position, and Eric Snow was reused. As Iverson's law enforcement and porter, he served as the starter in the 1st position, specially used to mark the opponent The outside star can share the pressure on Iverson to the greatest extent.

These four, together with small forward George Lynch, a swingman who graduated from North Carolina, are the starting five for the 76ers this season.

The Pistons, who have always had a great advantage in the interior, encountered a rare game where the interior defense might not be as good as the opposing team.

With Rasheed out, Ben Wallace may be exhausted and overwhelmed by himself.

"Have you figured it out?" Hill asked.

Mo Mengchen said: "How to defend against Iverson? No."

"No, what I'm saying is, have you figured out how to propose?" Hill asked.

Mo Mengchen almost exploded: "Are you finished?"

"I decided to propose to Tamia on Thanksgiving. Do you want to come with me? If you don't know how to propose, I can teach you." Hill patted his chest freely.

He doesn't really think that I don't know how to propose, does he?
Mo Mengchen gently pushed him away: "Take care of yourself, idiot!"

At this time, Mo Mengchen had already started to think in his heart: what would happen if he got married?
He thought about all the beauties of marriage, but at the end of the beauties, the faces of Sievers and Madeira suddenly appeared, and all the beauties in his mind were like broken glass, leading him into endless darkness.

"Mo, I'm going to score 50 points at your home court tonight!" Iverson shouted, "I will do what I say!"

"Even if you are given 50 shots, you still can't get 50 points!"

Mo Mengchen, who was feeling depressed, suddenly found someone who took the initiative to hit the gun, and he said directly to Houston: "I will switch defenses with you."

Defensive object changed from Iverson to Snow?

No one will refuse this kind of proposal, unless they are stupid/forced.

Houston happily accepted Mo Mengchen's proposal, and greeted Snow with a smile.

"Do you think you can guard me?" The game hadn't even started yet, and Iverson and Mo Mengchen were already full of gunpowder.

Mo Mengchen stopped firing, and the referee stepped forward with the ball.

Both sides wanted the ball at the start.

The referee blows his whistle and the game is about to start, he holds the ball and throws it in the air
