You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 989 The road ahead is long, don't be discouraged

Chapter 992 The road ahead is long, don't be discouraged
"For the fans, this may be the best era ever in the NBA."

"The Detroit Pistons defended the championship with the most dominant season in history and achieved five consecutive championships. Before that, only the Celtics half a century ago had done this."

"As we all know, half a century ago, NBA teams were scarce and their competitiveness was weak. A playoff team only needed to beat one opponent in the same district to advance to the finals."

"The league has developed to this day. There are a total of 29 teams, attracting players from all over the world. The talent pool is getting deeper and deeper. It is more than ten times more difficult to rule the current league than in the past? Generally speaking, three consecutive Winning the championship this year is the limit of our era."

"But the Pistons changed that perception."

"77 wins, all playoff victories and defending championships, five consecutive championships."

"For other teams, this is the worst era in the history of the NBA." Elliott said, crying.

The Spurs reached the finals for the first time in history, and it ended in such a way that no one would be reconciled.

"Since 1999, the Pistons have never lost again. They have won the championship for five consecutive seasons. They are strong and strong, and there is no sign of decline at all."

"The scary thing is, judging from their personnel structure, salary, and age, they will still be the biggest favorites for the championship next season."

"The most desperate thing is that this team that has dominated the era has the fifth pick in the first round of the draft that will be held in ten days."

"They just had one of the most dominant seasons in history, and then they have to pick in the lottery? Think about it, from the perspective of the Pistons scouting team, can they pick the best player?"

This is even more desperate than 2001.

That year, the Pistons defeated the Lakers to achieve three consecutive championships, and then they had the third pick in the first round of the draft. They took this pick and selected Eddie Curry against numerous doubts.

Curry was questioned as a parallel import at the beginning, but now he is gradually playing out. Even if he can't become an All-Star player, as long as he maintains his current combat power, he is still an indispensable member of the Pistons.

The match scene was chaotic. Even though the Pistons had already won the championship four times, there were still people running around the field. They used this method to vent their excitement.

Mo Mengchen saw Kidd walking towards him.

2003 was the last time in Kidd's career that he led the team to the finals, which is based on his previous life.

He is already 30 years old. Even though there is a tradition of getting older and more eccentric in the guard position, for any player who is known for his comprehensiveness, getting older and declining athletic ability are all factors that reduce his strength.

It's just that the current Kidd is in the Spurs, and there are potential stocks such as Arenas in the team. Maybe the aging Kidd can continue to reach the finals under the leadership of Arenas, who is gradually reaching the peak.

Plus Gasol, who just finished his second year.

Maybe for some time to come, the Spurs will be the main competitor of the Pistons.

Kidd came in front of Mo Mengchen, his face was heavy, he didn't intend to admit defeat at all, and said with endless unwillingness: "We will come back."

Big Big Wolf will be angry if you say that.

Mo Mengchen didn't intend to shake hands and hug Kidd, especially after he said this, there was no need for them to shake hands and hug.

This guy doesn't even want to say a fake blessing, which is a bit too much for the truth.

Mo Mengchen walked past Kidd expressionlessly.

"Year after year, one after another." Dor.Mo whispered with a smile on his face, "You know, to me, you are just another corpse that fell in front of me, it's no big deal, Goodbye, defeated general."

Kidd clenched his fists angrily, he couldn't express anything else, a loss is a loss.

Only winners can be rampant.

Arenas is a little more youthful than Kidd, and he was able to reach the finals with the team in his second grade just now. This is a valuable experience.

Maybe Arenas will have a completely different life from his previous life because of this experience and Popovich's teachings.

"Mo, see you next year, I will defeat you sooner or later." Arenas said.

The major general's harsh words are not unpleasant, this is a sentence that every competitive person will say after failure.

Mo Mengchen simply shook hands with him without saying a word.

The last person to pay tribute to Mo Mengchen was David Robinson who had just played his last NBA game.

His career ended with the finals. The enthusiasm of the audience touched the big man. He burst into tears, not because he was sad for retiring, but because he didn't bring a ring to San Antonio. .

He felt unworthy of the praise he was receiving.

"My invitation is still valid, and the door of Detroit is always open for you." Mo Mengchen and Robinson embraced.

Robinson's one of the rare opponents he's embraced in recent years.

Robinson patted him on the back and said, "Thank you for your invitation. I have considered it, and I have decided to solemnly refuse you. My career is over, and I will always be a Spurs."

Already considered?Mo Mengchen sneered.

Robinson may not have considered this matter at all. He wanted to die with the Spurs from the very beginning, and a ring with a thigh hug was not enough to make him defect.

Robinson saw Mo Mengchen enter the alliance at a glance, and now Mo Mengchen sent him away in person.

Strange fate.

Interestingly, Robinson was the first player whose life was affected by the traveler effect.

Since Mo Mengchen turned over the first domino in the summer of 1996, which triggered the traveler effect and changed the fate of the Spurs, many things have changed.

The year 2003 in this life is hardly the same alliance as the year 2003 in the previous life.

The distribution of stars, the ranks of the top teams, and the basic structure of championship teams have completely changed.

To challenge the Pistons, there must be two superstars in charge, which is already a consensus.

Those with only one super player, such as the Knicks, Spurs, and Celtics in the Duncan era, will inevitably be defeated by the Pistons.

Robinson was supposed to join forces with Duncan, but now he waited for Kidd, and it was inevitable that he would retire alone in the end.

After the madness, the players have to return to the locker room.

In addition to the requisite champagne showers, there was time to set up the championship stage.

After Mo Mengchen greeted the coaches, he walked into the player tunnel.

The old place, Hill is still here.

On June 1999, 6, when the Pistons won the championship for the first time, Mo Mengchen and Hill hugged each other excitedly. At that time, they were 26 years old and the other 27 years old.

Now, they are all in their thirties, and the Pistons have also won championships year after year, creating a great cause of five consecutive championships.

Hill will no longer be so excited to hug Mo Mengchen, nor will he be so excited to cry alone because of his three consecutive championships. He is much more stable.

"It seems that you have completed the final attack on the Spurs." Hill decided that Mo Mengchen would stay on the court and talk trash to his opponent.

Am I that bad?

Mo Mengchen said indifferently: "The final attack? You are too serious, just a word or two of encouragement, and bid farewell to David by the way."

The Pistons' championship game and Robinson's retirement game happened to be the same game. Hill, who has witnessed Robinson's half of his career, felt emotional when he saw such a senior retire.When he saw the admiral accepting his fate, he couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.

A person who wins and is full of honor is certainly a hero.

But like David Robinson, who shot out the last bullet with a 37-year-old body, faced an irreversible defeat, and accepted the result sadly and solemnly, he can also be regarded as a hero.

"Mo," Hill said, "when we get old like David, can we meet a young man like him in the Finals who kills us?"

Mo Mengchen smiled faintly: "For me, that day will never come."

Everyone will grow old, only Mo Mengchen, who is full of self-confidence, dares to ignore the laws of nature.

Hill is used to his appearance, and finally asked: "I have achieved five consecutive championships, and also set the best record in the regular season. I won the playoffs and defended the title. I beat my opponent by 20 points in each game."

"Mo, is this our end?"

It can be seen that after years of fighting, each season until June, this makes Hill very tired, and he also needs a source of motivation.

Mo Mengchen looked at him and asked with a smile: "Do you think we really broke all the records?"

"What records are there?"

"After the league entered the merger era, no team achieved four consecutive championships, but we have five consecutive championships."

"We beat the Bulls' best record in regular season history by five games."

"We went unbeaten in the playoffs and replaced the 1983 Sixers as a true FO-FO-FO team."

Hill asked seriously: "What other records?"

"Indeed, the records after the merged era are gone." Mo Mengchen put away his smile and turned his gaze. Two majestic gazes seemed to point directly at Hill's heart through his body. "The records before the merged era Well, you never thought about it?"

At this moment, Hill's heart almost stopped beating, his eyes fixed on it, goosebumps all over his body jumped, and his thick hair stood up involuntarily.

He finally knew what Mo Mengchen's ultimate goal was.

Things he never thought about.

Things you can't even dream of.

A few years ago, this was simply out of reach.

But now, they have won five consecutive championships and have the potential to continue to compete for the championship.

"You're thinking"

Mo Mengchen walked past him and patted Hill on the shoulder, "There is a long way ahead, mom, don't be discouraged."

After finishing speaking, Mo Mengchen walked past him, Hill was silent for a few seconds, and followed, as if he had found a new source of motivation.

Together they came outside the door of the locker room.

Pushing open this door seems to be a more difficult thing than making that decision.

"Go!" Mo Mengchen said.

"Okay!" Hill responded and opened the door. Mo Mengchen hid directly behind him, and Devil Mountain suffered a lot of champagne attacks.
