You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 454 Welcome to the Pistons, you idiots!

On October 10, the games in the first two weeks of the new season were officially cancelled, and the 13 games originally scheduled for November were also cancelled.

This is the first time in NBA history that a game has been canceled due to a labor dispute.

What makes the bosses happy is that even if the game cannot be played, the TV broadcast contract signed by the league before is still valid, and the bosses can get part of the income from the TV broadcast contract.

停摆继续，11月和12月的比赛同样被取消，其中包括1999年的全明星赛，本来那届全明星赛定在1999年2月14日在费城举行。

The negotiations dragged on for longer and longer, and there was a lot of discussion. CBS Sports even revealed that after a heated negotiation between the two sides, Stern and the executive director of the players union left angrily again. There are signs that the entire season may be cancelled.

Time came to November, and the lockout still showed no signs of being resolved.

Mo Mengchen ended the closed training. In his own name, he called his Pistons teammates for a month and a half gathering in northwest Arizona.

Think of this gathering as a self-organized training camp for players.

Mo Mengchen had to know how his teammates were doing.

This gathering is not mandatory, the players come spontaneously, if they don't want to come, it's okay, Mo Mengchen doesn't force it.

But everyone with a clear mind knows that in the Pistons, no one can refuse Mo Mengchen's invitation.

Grant Hill was the first to travel to Arizona to meet Momochen.

Mo Mengchen set the training location in an area called Pampauf. Here, the only advantage is that if you want to relax, you can go in groups to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Grand Canyon of Colorado.

Mo Mengchen and Hill haven't seen each other for several months. Although they have kept in touch by phone, the last time the two met was in July.

Shibie needs to be admired for three days, let alone a hundred days?
Hill gave Mo Mengchen the feeling that his lower limbs were stronger than last season, and his left and right thighs were as thick as old tree roots.

"How's it going?" Hill asked.

Mo Mengchen said with a faint smile: "I went back to my hometown, everything is fine."

"Really? I'm not good. I shoot 3000 three-pointers every day."

Hill told Mo Mengchen his training plan for the past four months. In addition to other training, shooting training occupied the main content of his training.

3000 three-point shots every day, which is almost the amount of training Mo Mengchen practiced when he practiced three-pointers the hardest.

"If you don't improve after training, it's a waste of effort." Mo Mengchen first poured cold water on Hill.

Hill smiled confidently: "Yes, in order to increase my enthusiasm for training, I put the poster of the Eastern Conference finals on my training ground. I will see the scene of Michael killing us every day."

Do you try your best?
Mo Mengchen remembered some interesting things. In various sports in China, especially those with advantages, once they are upset and lose the championship, they will make a large poster of the opponent's winning photo and paste it in the training hall to stimulate the players' enthusiasm for training. .

Mo Mengchen doesn't like this kind of stimulating training method very much, because as long as he has hatred in his heart and is unwilling to fail, he will train spontaneously, and he doesn't have to recall those bad things all day long.

Maybe this method is more useful for a good boy like Hill.

"I didn't expect you to like Michael so much. Next time we meet, I will convey it to you." Mo Mengchen said with a faint smile.

A few days later, the three rookies from the class of 98 arrived in Panbofu, they were the second batch to arrive.

"I like Ricky, he trains with passion."

On the first day of practice, Hill was very impressed with Ricky Davis, and he was surprised that the latter fell to the [-]th pick.

"Rookie, it was a mistake for you to fall into this position, and it was even more a mistake for Houston to trade you to us. Try to prove this point." Hill encouraged.

Davis nodded excitedly. This is Grant Hill, the No. [-] small forward in the NBA in the past two seasons. How could he be so optimistic about him?
Is there any reason not to train hard?
"He doesn't need to prove that his pick and being traded was a mistake, he just needs to prove that it wasn't a mistake that we traded Bobby back for him."

Mo Mengchen's sarcastic remarks made Davis stand on pins and needles.

How dare Brad Miller and Rashard Lewis say more?One trains more seriously than the other.

"Is it necessary for people to hate you for the first training?" Hill asked helplessly.

"It's not the first time." Mo Mengchen said, "After the lockout happened, they couldn't find a training venue, and they practiced with me at the Nairuo Sports Center for a while."

"Oh?" Hill was surprised, "Why didn't you invite me to join you?"

Mo Mengchen has no interest in training with Hill: "Probably because I don't want to see your face?"

Hill gave him a nod, and practiced three-pointers alone with the ball.

He has developed the same habit as Mo Mengchen. If he wants to practice three-pointers, he will cut off the net. In this way, if he misses a shot, he will have to spend a lot of energy to pick up the ball, and he has to be careful with every shot.

Learning Mo Mengchen's training methods does not make Hill ashamed. In his eyes, Mo Mengchen is the best shooter in the world. What's wrong with learning from the best shooter in the world?
It was by training in this way that Hill gradually understood why Mo Mengchen had such a stable hand feeling.

There is a difference between a hoop with a net and a hoop without a net.

A basket with a net will make people feel very comfortable when scoring a goal. Everyone who likes basketball should not hate the sound of basketball and basketball kissing.

However, that voice cannot make the shooter judge.

It’s different without the Nets. The ball will clearly let you see how it enters the basket every time, the arc, landing point, and strength are different. The number of shots increases, and you can even predict it in advance before it hits. Drop point.

For four months, 3000 three-pointers a day.

In other words, he has shot at least 120 three-pointers in the past 36 days.

Hill's three-point shooting posture has not been revised much, but his three-point shooting is indeed much more stable.

Mo Mengchen can feel it from the sidelines, the calmness of the shot, the lightness after the shot, and the comfort when he fiddles with his fingers. It is hard to believe that this is the player who was caught outside the three-point line in the playoffs last season. Duke Devil Mountain, which can't be thrown in three meters.

"Yes, it seems that you have really gone through a lot of hard training."

Mo Mengchen said lightly.

Hill shot 100 of 91. He gently squeezed his waist and said, "I just don't want to be put three meters away."

"Do you know?" Mo Mengchen still wanted to hit him, "On the training ground, there are many people who shoot accurately, but in the game, there are many people who can't shoot accurately. I heard that Shaquille O'Neal shot 70% of his three-pointers during training. , but have you ever seen him shoot a three-pointer during a game?"

He made Hill's scalp tingle.

Devil Mountain said angrily: "Why can't you say something positive?"

"Because I want you to be sober. No matter how accurate your shots are on the training ground, it's useless if you don't shoot correctly during the game."

The two quarreled like this.

The rookie on the side shivered.

This is the team atmosphere of the Pistons?What the hell are we here?

A day later, Louis M. Lore, Prester Lauderdale, and Joe Dumas also joined Momochen's party.

When there are more veterans, life will be difficult for novices.

According to Hill's statistics - high-achieving students like to do such meaningless things - each of them runs an average of 11 times a day. Rashard Lewis, a high school student, is the worst, running an average of 14 times a day. Numerous times, he helped carry countless bags, but in the end he was blamed by Lauderdale, who didn't know if he would stay on the team next season.

"Rookie, let me tell you, if you can't handle the things I told you, it will be even more difficult for you when other people come."

Listen to this, Lauderdale is still good for him?

Lewis nodded and said yes with a smile on his face, already scolding this stupid big guy who didn't even know if his mother would stay on the team next season.

Last season was Lauderdale's second season. He was the first-round pick in the 96 class and signed a 2+2 contract. Because the league was suspended, the team had no time to give him an answer.

Therefore, Lauderdale's future is also uncertain now.

Lauderdale asked Mo Mengchen before.

Mo Mengchen reassured him, but Lauderdale didn't think too much about it.If he can't stay, even if Mo Mengchen doesn't tell him the result, he will be mentally prepared.

If nothing else, it's that he can stay with the team.

What Lauderdale thought was right, Mo Mengchen advocated keeping Lauderdale.

The reason is simple. He has a height of 224 cm and a weight of 150 kg. They need such a big meat shield against OK in the future.

Second, he's hardworking on and off the court, and when it comes to garbage time, Lauderdale's stats on the court are some of the most comedic of all time.

Every stat he gets makes his teammates happy. Such a happy fruit, what reason is there for him to leave?

Two days later, Barkley, Rasheed Wallace and Scott Pollard came to report together.

When Barkley came to Pemberf, his weight had reached 138 kilograms, which was inhumanly fat.

This is the first time Roar Tianzun participated in the training camp of the Pistons. He was very reserved, and Mo Mengchen organized an intra-team match that day.

His aggressiveness towards his teammates soon led to a backlash, with Rashid at the head fighting against Mo Mengchen's oppression.

The battle went into two overtimes, and Mo Mengchen scored a three-point lore in the end.

"Welcome to the Pistons, you idiots!"

After the ball was scored, Mo Mengchen stretched his legs and kicked the ball into the air, and shouted at Rashid and others who had just arrived.

"This is the coolest fucking welcome I've ever seen!"

Also a level 95 player, Rashid liked Mo Mengchen's style, and he was not disappointed by the loss, so he stepped forward to give Mo Mengchen a high-five.

Do you feel like someone is missing?

Yes, there's one more person who didn't come.

Alan Houston, who purposely waited until the end to join the party as a way of displaying his detachment.

Because of this incident, Mo Mengchen called Houston "the tail of the crane" in the next half month. CIC Wang strongly opposed it, but it was of no use.

　Today is five more, ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month, thank you for the reward from Shangchairen 83
