You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 697 Three Blossoms

This is a turbulent offseason. With Duncan's decision to join the free market, the league has been fried.

Up to now, Duncan has played in Boston for three years and is eligible to activate the Bird clause. If he chooses to stay in Boston, he can receive more money, but correspondingly, given the current situation in Boston, it is difficult The East with the Pistons and Knicks is making waves.

"So far, there is no conclusion, I may stay."

Finally a reporter found Duncan, and the answer he gave was vague enough to make Boston fans restless, because they knew very well that once Duncan left, they would turn from a powerful forest in the East to a fish belly recognized by everyone in one fell swoop.

Several teams made aggressive offers to Duncan, led by the Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers.

The same feature of these two teams is that they can give Duncan a maximum salary, and at the same time, they are quite competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Although they are not a giant like the Celtics, even with the name of a giant, the current Celtics can't see any hope. If they stay here, they may not even win against the Knicks. How to shake the throne of the piston?
At the beginning of August, Mo Mengchen's mouthpiece, Henry Hussman, who has become famous in recent years, released the news: "Tim Duncan is more and more inclined to leave Boston!"

Boston was completely in a panic. In desperation, Pitino offered Duncan a shark-level super maximum salary of 7 million over seven years.

In other teams, Duncan can't earn so much money. A superstar with scarce commercial value like him, every big contract is very important, but for Duncan, money is not the first.

He cares about winning and losing, and he doesn't want to be a loser anymore, so he didn't say anything about the Celtics' supermax salary, just let it be there for people to watch.

If he can refuse such a salary, then money is not an issue for him.

Duncan's attitude is very clear. He is looking for a strong team with the same game philosophy as him. Not only must this team be strong enough, but the coach's team building ideas must also be approved by him.

The 76ers and the Pacers are in the lead, and the other giants can only look far away.

The Lakers have Shaquille O'Neal, so naturally they don't care about Duncan; the Knicks have no space and can't swallow Duncan's contract; the Celtics themselves have been caught as winners, so there is nothing to say; The team is not competitive, and Shifo doesn't like it either.

Therefore, either Duncan chooses money, or chooses between the 76ers and the Pacers.

The coach of the 76ers, Larry Brown, has coveted Duncan for a long time. With such a good opportunity, he must stand up and do everything possible to bring back the best power forward in the league for the team.

On August 8, Duncan met with Brown.

Just when the outside world thought that the Pacers would also send Larry Bird to meet with Duncan and use Bird's three-inch tongue to trick Duncan into his hand, Bird chose to resign.

He coached the Pacers for three years. Although he did not lead the team to the finals, the Pacers have always been a tenacious iron army under his command. Moreover, it was his Pacers who provided the world with a plan to attack the Pistons.

Long before the rise of the Pistons, in the 1998 Eastern Conference semifinals, they used muscle and the Pistons in six bloody battles, telling the world how to deal with running and bombing.Due to the strong rise of the Pistons, the teams can only pile up muscular men and play meat grinder games with them when they cannot slow them down.

Bird introduced this method, the Knicks and Heat carried it forward, and now, all teams in the league are preparing to use this method to deal with the Pistons.

The potential crisis has cast a chilling shadow over the Pistons' three-peat progress.

As a result, Bird, who had the opportunity to become a famous coach of the generation, chose to leave after three years of coaching the Pacers and retired.

The world was puzzled by this, only Mo Mengchen knew what it was.

This is what Bird calls the three-year rule.

Big Bird has always been a very assertive person. This was exactly the case when he was a player. He can use superb words to make opponents feel ashamed, and he can also deal wittily with the cardinal. Now that he is middle-aged, he also has his own understanding of coaching. .

Bird is practicing what he understands for coaches, what he calls the three-year rule.

"NBA coaches shouldn't coach a team for more than three years, because players will feel numb to the locker room with only one voice for a long time."

This statement is very one-sided, because all the coaches we are familiar with have been teaching on the same team for a long time.

The greatest coaches in the history of American sports John Wooden, Cardinals, Popovich, Jerry Sloan, Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, these people have coached the team for more than three years , and have achieved great success.

Although Mo Mengchen doesn't quite agree with Bird's three-year rule, but like many brainless fans, he will only send one sentence when he sees him resolutely doing this: "Big Bird is insightful."

The impact of Bird's departure on the Pacers' recruitment of Duncan is huge.

No one knows how Duncan reacted, but one thing is certain, when Bird chose to leave, Duncan's balance has tilted towards Philadelphia.

A week later, another Pacer move completely wiped out Duncan's chances.

Isaiah Thomas was appointed as the new head coach of the Pacers. Although the Smiling Assassin has no conflicts with Duncan, his coaching ability is really far behind Brown.

Going to the Pacers is equivalent to going to the second Celtics. Thomas' coaching experience and his team building philosophy are not recognized by Duncan at all. This matter suddenly lost its suspense. The world is waiting for Shifo The decision, in addition to the Indiana, almost everyone believes that the Pacers have been out.

Mo Mengchen pays close attention to this matter, because Duncan's choice will determine the pattern of the East.

Regardless of the 76ers or the Pacers, they are traditionally strong teams in the East. Duncan can seamlessly connect their system and make them the overlord of the East.

No matter who Duncan joins, it will give the East an extra super team that can compete with the Pistons and Knicks.

It is said that after Jordan retires, the league structure will change from strong in the east and weak in the west to strong in the west and weak in the east. How does Mo Mengchen feel that the fucking east is getting stronger and stronger?
To put it bluntly, it was the butterfly effect brought about by some restless traveler.

In mid-August, Mo Mengchen got his wish, and Ephraim became pregnant.

This shows that his "hard work" in the past two months was not in vain. On the day the pregnancy was confirmed, Mo Mengchen took Ephraim to the hospital for a B-ultrasound.

It turned out to be twins.

Ephraim blushed with excitement, but Mo Mengchen was surprisingly calm. He kept staring at the B-ultrasound.

Although Mo Mengchen is her husband, he is also a doctor, and he is a brilliant doctor. His expression does not seem to be happy.

"Is there a problem?" Ephraim asked worriedly.

"Did you know?" Mo Mengchen laughed suddenly, "there is a 30% chance of triplets."

(PS: I compiled the data myself)

Ephraim stared, and Adrian next to him opened his mouth wide: "Triplets? Sister, I heard that mothers who give birth to two children in Russia are called hero mothers. What about three children? Superman mothers? "

The gynecologists didn't deny Mo Mengchen's judgment, but they couldn't see it yet, because the B-ultrasound showed only two fetuses.

"Generally speaking, if there is a third fetus, he should hide behind the two fetuses and not be seen until he is six months old," the nurse explained.

Mo Mengchen didn't explain much, he does have a pair of magical eyes, and he can see things more carefully than others.

That bit of indistinct black shadow, that bit of outline, there is no mistake, it is the triplets.

Damn Grant Hill, next time we meet, I will.
The triplets made Mo Mengchen proud of Ephraim, but he was not excited about hitting the third ring with his bullet. What really excited him was that he could laugh and show off in front of Hill, who dared to use children as braggadocio The brazenness of the capital.

What a fucking pity, why does this guy represent the Dream Team in the Olympics?
At this time, it was mid-August, and the Sydney Olympics was in full swing. Hill, Garnett, Carter, Ray Allen, O'Neal, Kidd and others worked together to create the last invincible dream team.

Why is it the last one?Because in the next six years, the Dream Team will suffer consecutive shocking defeats.

It's a pity that that guy is shedding blood for the evil capitalism, and Mo Mengchen has to wait until the preseason training camp starts to taunt him severely.

"Doctor Mo, what's wrong with you?" Adrian saw Mo Mengchen's smile, which was ugly and frightening.

Although Mo Mengchen and Ephraim are married, there is no such thing as "brother-in-law" in foreign countries, and Adrian is also used to calling him "Doctor Mo", so he has not changed his words.

How could Mo Mengchen let the 14-year-old boy know the evil intentions in his heart?

He smiled and said, "I'm just proud of your sister, you're right, she's a superhuman mother."

Ephraim said shyly, "You are also a superhuman father."

"You are all supermen, so what am I?" Adrian asked.

"You're Superman too, Little Superman."

The news of Ephraim's pregnancy spread quickly, and countless people congratulated Mo Mengchen in various ways.

Hill, who was far away in Sydney, called and wanted to spy on the military situation before the two met again.

How could Mo Mengchen let him know the truth?Taiji fights, all kinds of ambiguous words are spoken, the poor Devil Mountain is dizzy, and finally said: "You said so much nonsense, why didn't you tell me whether it was a boy or a girl? ?”

"Vulgar! Are boys and girls that important? It's the 21st century, can you ask your old ideas to progress with the times?"

Devil Mountain: ? ? ?
