You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1001 Anthony said that if only LeBron had been chosen in the first place

When I joined the Pistons, everyone thought I would be the next core player, but when the fans found out that I didn't appear on the stage in the preseason, some people began to worry about me. Everyone knew that the Pistons were a team. A dynasty team with top competitiveness.

To become the core of a top dynasty team requires talent and strength beyond imagination. Obviously, in the winter of 2003, I did not have it.

The fans value me as much as I have confidence in myself.

I believe that I will be the starter, I believe that I will be the core, and I believe that I will be regarded by everyone as the future of the dynasty.

I believe a fart, it turns out that "I believe" farts are useless.

During the preseason, countless fans turned on the TV hoping to see me.I clearly remember the first preseason game we played against the Timberwolves. Why do I remember it so deeply?Because that's LeBron's team, the media and fans have been comparing us since we started the league.

You should know my attitude on this matter, I might as well tell you here.

I fucking hate it.

Moreover, the media comparison directly buried my friendship with LeBron, don't think I am shirking responsibility.Saying the same thing too much will allow other people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it, such as Dor.Mo.

After getting along with the preseason training camp, I found that he is not a lovable Boss.He successfully destroyed my admiration for him, and this matter successfully proved the scientific nature of "distance produces beauty".I don't like Dor.Mo anymore.

I don't know when Dor.Mo started to compare LeBron with me, and it was extremely frequent.

I'd be distracted in practice and he'd say LeBron wouldn't be like that.

If I'm not in a good state one day, he will also say that if it is LeBron, I don't have to worry so much.

What annoys me the most is that he thinks my offense is inferior to LeBron's.Are you kidding about the banana split?My offense is as good as ten LeBrons!
Well, back to that game.

The reason I'll never forget that fight is that I didn't play for a second and got a major humiliation.

I was going to start as planned, but I did something stupid the night before the game.I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all the time, I just wanted to get up early to do something, and then I ran into my "brother" from my hometown.You must know that the Pistons are the most watched team in the world, and we play reporters and media outside the hotel.Anything anyone does around the hotel is documented by the media.

Me and "bro" had a great time talking, giving him money, and making gangsta gestures, and that moment was what the asshole media wanted.

I was photographed by the media the moment I made the gang gesture, and within a day I had national exposure.

You know, Mr. President is the most taboo for players to be mavericks, and we will never allow us to get involved in gang fights.I admit that I have some gang background, but my friendship with them is only limited. I know a few friends who have played since childhood, and they are indeed active in gangs. What does that mean?Am I breaking the law by keeping in touch with them?Sadly, I have the perfect excuse to defend myself, and Dor.Mo doesn't want to hear me.

He used privileges to ban me from preseason games.

I was suspended for five games.

What was supposed to be my night of the show ended early, and they kept me in the hotel and I was not allowed to go anywhere, and I had to watch the game live and take notes.I have to hand it over to them for inspection, and if I don't do it, I will be punished more severely.

My resistance to authority rose to the top in an instant.

But I am sober, I am angry, I am very clear, as a rookie, I have no foundation in the team, if I have a bad relationship with Dor.Mo, my future will be bleak.

You guys think I'm going head-to-head with Dor.Mo?Tsk, I'm not stupid, even Chicago Fat Boy can't do such a stupid thing, how could I do it?

The preseason game that day was fantastic.

It's hard to see Dor.Mo, Grant Hill, Sharks and LeBron playing at full strength during the regular season.

And in the preseason, it became a reality.

Dor.Mo wants to educate LeBron that the Sharks and the Pistons have a feud.He also wants to prove himself, to prove that he is not old, to prove that he is not the emperor's little follower, and to prove that the Lakers made a wrong decision to send Kobe away in order to keep Kobe.

LeBron’s performance more or less exceeded my expectations. His three-pointers felt good that night. The Pistons’ defense was not in place, allowing him to make four three-pointers. Those four three-pointers made the Timberwolves On par with the Pistons.

102 is better than 101
The Timberwolves, who seemed completely incomparable with the Pistons, lost only 1 point.

LeBron's debut got a 100-point rating.

Grant considered him a once-in-a-decade talent.

Dor.Mo didn't comment on LeBron, but explained why I didn't play.

He graciously admitted that it was my incident that caused the Pistons to impose a team suspension.

Someone brought the question to LeBron, and his answer opened a rift between us, who had been friends before.Right after he gave the answer, I started to feel extremely upset and angry.

"I know what to do and what not to do. I am a player, a good citizen who abides by the law. I just want to show my best side to the outside world. This is the duty and responsibility of a public figure."

Dor. Mo's attitude towards LeBron is contemptuous, but he has given approval to the way he handles interviews.

It was his answer that made my anger rise: "Compared with the college student on our team who received a serious college education, the Timberwolves' high school rookie is more sensible. Now I think the high school player may not be as immature as we thought. "

This is the first time Dor.Mo has publicly criticized me in LeBron's name, but it won't be the last.

I admit it was my fault, and that's how my relationship with LeBron started.

I hate hearing people say he's more mature, selfless, and well-rounded than me, and I hate Dor.Mo even more for comparing him to me, and I always lose in the comparison.

What I hate the most is that when I mess up anything, Dor.Mo will always say the last sentence in an unbearable tone: "If only we had drafted LeBron in the first place."

You can think that I am stingy, and you can also think that LeBron is innocent, but few people are born generous. Only when you stand at a high enough height can you be qualified to be generous, otherwise you will only be as upset as I am.
