You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

13 Me too

"What do you think of today's trial training?"

asked Nets coach Butch Baird.

"As our scouts tell us, Ed O'Banno has incredible talent and deserves a lottery pick."

It was offensive coach Casey Hein who spoke.

Head assistant coach Bod Rice said: "You saw how he used his talent, he can fill our second unit athletic ability."

"Then what do you think of Mo's performance?"

Baird asked.

That's what he wanted to ask. This group of people didn't know what was going on. It was obvious that Mo Mengchen was the one who performed the best in the trial training, but they kept talking about O'Bonno.

In today's trial training, Mo Mengchen's performance was beyond criticism.

All tests were successfully completed, and the performance in that competition was even more amazing.

What amazes O'Bonno the most is his ability to coordinate his teammates. You know, among his teammates are Ed O'Bonno, a big lottery favorite.

Even a rookie like O'Bonno willingly followed his lead.

Today, Obonno scored 21 points with Mo Mengchen's feed.

But Mo Mengchen was the one who performed the best. Apart from organizing, his versatility was also fully demonstrated.

On the offensive end, he had 8 points and 11 assists.

On the defensive end, he had 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 turnovers.

"Mo has a maturity beyond others," Hein elicited his point of view, "His height is outstanding, and his skills allow him to switch back and forth between the first and second positions. If he doesn't have such a serious injury history, He even deserves a lottery pick."

"Yes, if there are no injuries."

Baird looked to the team doctor.

"Chris, what do you think?"

When it comes to this topic, Baird needs to get the most authoritative opinion.

When Chris Dua heard Baird's question, he first said: "I read Mo's medical records. If anyone suffered from his injury, it is a problem whether he can still walk now."

"But he stood up, and through today's trial training, we can even make a hasty conclusion: he is recovering well."

"Or he fully recovered."

"But the history of three ACL tears is still there and we can't forget that."

Baird was a little disappointed, the Nets needed a commander too much.

The team does not lack absolute talent, nor does it lack scorers, but it lacks a brain that can connect these advantages together.

This is Baird's first year as a head coach. He hopes to lead the team out of the quagmire and make a good start for his coaching career.

The first few years of any coach's career are crucial.

Just like we often say that rookies watch for three years, countless NBA coaches have filled in ugly strokes on their resumes because they were in a rebuilding team in the first few years of their careers, and have never been in the coaching position since then.

"So, what's your opinion?" Baird pressed.

"If I were to choose, I would be more cautious, at least I shouldn't make a decision here."

This statement caught the attention of others.

"You mean?"

"Mo used to be a doctor."

Dewar smiled bitterly: "From his resume, he may be a better doctor than me."

"He works in the best hospital in the world. He has completed more than 100 operations in the past year without failure. This feeling is like Magic and Michael Jordan who just entered the league."

"He is such a good doctor, he should know how fragile his knee is, so why should he give up his great prospects?"

In the end, Dewar expressed his opinion: "If it were me, I would let him have a full-body examination. I need to see his physical condition, especially the health of his knees, before making a decision."

"I mean, if he's really a can't-miss player, we've got to do it."

In the face of authority, no one can put forward opinions that disagree with it.

Just like what Dewar said, Mo Mengchen really played a performance that should not be missed in today's trial training.

"Chris, you have a great suggestion."

Baird wanted to make a decision: "Any other opinions?"

The crowd was silent.

"Okay, Anderson, call Mo's agent."

Things finally turned around, and the happiest person was Baird, who really liked Mo Mengchen so much.

Mo Mengchen lives in the hotel.

He is thinking.

His medical history has become a liability, and no matter how well he performs in workouts, teams will have doubts.

Now, he soaks his legs in hot water and massages himself.

Whether it's training or tryouts, as long as it's over, he will do it.

Getting rid of fatigue quickly is one way to avoid injury.

Even in modern times, there are still many secrets in the human body that cannot be known.

The body, brain, and nerves will warn through various methods.

If you come home from a tiring day and feel something is wrong, be aware that it is not a hallucination, it is your body sounding the alarm, telling you that something is wrong and you need to fix it.

Some people do nothing, and the cancer is found to be terminal after a few months.

Some athletes don't take it seriously, so they suffer ACL-level injuries in a game.

Every injury is traceable.

Mo Mengchen also knew that his knees were very fragile, so every game, he would not sprint at the fastest speed, nor would he persistently seek confrontation.

He won't play too aggressively until he finds a way to keep his feet from hurting.

However, this problem must be resolved now, and he has to provide the NBA with a proof of "I can play in the NBA".

Tryouts alone are not enough.

Mo Mengchen is thinking of an idea,

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Good news." Mo Mengchen said.

On the other end of the phone, Patton's voice was very excited: "New Jersey wants your medical report, is this considered good news?"

"When?"

"They have designated a hospital where you can go for a medical checkup anytime."

"Did they say anything else?"

"They say it's a routine check, you can do it or you don't have to."

Mo Mengchen took his feet out of the hot water, wiped them with a towel, put on slippers, and went outside.

He remembered that Ed Aubanno was staying at the same hotel as him.

If I remember correctly.
On the same floor, Mo Mengchen walked to a room in the farthest corner.

"Bang bang."

"Which one."

"it's me."

Aubonuo opened the door, saw it was Mo Mengchen, and said pleasantly: "Come in, thanks to you today!"

"Do you want to go for a physical examination together tomorrow?" Mo Mengchen asked.

"Medical examination? What physical examination?"

Aubonor looked as if he really didn't know about it.

"It's nothing." Mo Mengchen glanced at his room, there was nothing special, and then said, "Do you want to have some supper?"

"My agent says I need to be in perfect shape so it doesn't hurt my athleticism"

"You probably only consumed 1800 calories today, but to maintain your figure, you need to consume at least 2300 calories a day, do you know what that means?"

"What's more, you have also experienced high-intensity trial training."

Mo Mengchen said: "This is not only for us to sleep well at night, but also to maintain a good figure. Your agent is right, you need to maintain a good figure, but I only agree with this sentence."

In O'Bonno's eyes, Mo Mengchen is like a... It's strange to say that, but he really thinks that Mo Mengchen is like a boss.

He always does the right thing and gives the right advice.

"If you don't want to eat, I'll go by myself. I heard there is a Japanese ramen restaurant downstairs."

With that said, Mo Mengchen got up to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Aubonuo stopped Mo Mengchen, "We are comrades who have fought side by side, and I will go with you."

On the way, Mo Mengchen thought about tomorrow's medical examination.

The Nets did not allow lottery picks like O'Bonno to provide physical examination information, or in other words, for them, O'Bonno's physical examination information is just a procedure. It doesn't matter if he does it, or he doesn't do it, or he does it later. .

And he needs to do it.

If he doesn't do it, the Nets will not consider him again.

It is precisely because of his valuable ability in the trial training that the Nets need to understand his physical condition. In this regard, he cannot guarantee the results of the physical examination.

With three torn ACL knees, his legs will look fragile in the film.

Mo Mengchen and Aubono walked into the Japanese ramen shop.

The store manager here is a Japanese. When he saw them coming, he bowed politely and said, "Welcome, both of you?"

"Yes." Mo Mengchen said.

"Please sit down, what do you want to eat?" The store manager took out the menu.

Mo Mengchen looked at Aubonuo, wanting to hear his suggestion.

"Mo, I've never eaten Japanese food, so you should order some." Aubono smiled dryly.

Mo Mengchen said to the store manager: "Two servings of beef ramen for two, and a plate of dumplings."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"Mo, I heard you used to be a doctor?"

Aubono asked.

"Yes," Mo Mengchen said proudly, "I used to be a very good doctor."

"I'm sure you are now too," said O'Bonno.

Mo Mengchen poured a glass of juice: "I wish I was a good player rather than a good doctor."

"Trust me, you really are, you're the dream teammate that everybody wants," O'Bonno said.

"However, I regret what happened to you." O'Bonno glanced at Mo Mengchen's legs, "If it was me, I might have given up basketball a long time ago."

"I can still walk, I can still run, my legs can do whatever they want, why give up?"

Mo Mengchen asked flatly: "Each operation requires standing for several hours, and some even more. This burden on the knee is no less than a game."

"However, basketball games are more intense after all."

"Ed," Mo Mengchen was about to say when the ramen and dumplings were served.

Smelling the fragrant ramen, Mo Mengchen said: "I heard that there are more than 700 ways to express "yes" in Japanese, but none of them can express "no" clearly."

"me too."
