Chapter 992: The road ahead is long, don't be discouraged

"For fans, this is perhaps the best time the NBA has ever seen."

"The Detroit Pistons defended their champions in their most dominant season, achieving five consecutive championships, and before that, only half a century ago, the Celtics had done this."

"As we all know, half a century ago, there were few NBA teams and weak competitiveness. Playoff teams only need to win an opponent in the same zone to advance to the finals."

"The league has developed to this day, with 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, winning the championship for three consecutive years is the limit of our era."

"But the piston changed that perception."

"77 wins, defending the title in the playoffs, and five consecutive championships."

"For other teams, this is the worst era in the NBA ever." Elliott said, bursting out tears.

The Spurs reached the finals for the first time in history, but it ended in this way, and no one would be willing to do so.

"Since 1999, the Pistons have no defeat, won the championship for five consecutive seasons, with strong troops and no signs of recession at all."

"What's scary is that judging from their personnel structure, salary, and age, they will be the biggest favorites for the championship next season."

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

"They just played the most dominant season in history and then had to pick the best players in the lottery? Think about it, with the perspective of the Pistons scout team, can they pick the best players?"

This is even more desperate than in 2001.

That year, the Pistons defeated the Lakers to win three consecutive championships, but then they had the third pick in the first round in the draft. They took this pick and chose Eddie Curry with countless doubts.

Curry was initially questioned as a parallel player, but now he is gradually playing out. Even if he cannot become an All-Star player, as long as he maintains his existing combat power, he will be an indispensable member of the Pistons.

The competition scene was in a mess. The Pistons had already had four experiences in winning the championship, but there were still people running around. They used this method to vent their excitement.

Momonchen saw Kid coming towards him.

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

He is already 30 years old. Even though the guard position is getting more and more demonic as he gets older, for any player who is known for his comprehensiveness, getting older and athletic ability declines are factors that deteriorate their strength.

However, Kidd is in this life with the Spurs and the team, and there are potential stocks such as Arenas. Perhaps the old Kidd can continue to enter the finals under the leadership of Arenas, who is gradually reaching the peak.

Plus Gasol, who had just passed the second grade.

Perhaps in the future, the Spurs will be the main competitor of the Pistons.

Kidd came to Mo Mengchen with a heavy face, without any intention of admitting defeat, and said with endless reluctance: "We will come back."

You will be angry if Big Big Wolf says that.

Mo Mengchen did not intend to shake hands and hug Kid, especially after he said this, they did not need to shake hands and hug them.

This guy doesn't even want to say fake blessings, it's already a bit too much.

Mo Mengchen walked over Kidd with a expressionless face.

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

Kidd clenched his fist angrily. He could not make any other statements. If he lost, he would lose.

Only winners can be rampant.

Arenas has a bit more youthful atmosphere than Kidd. He was just the second grade and was able to reach the finals with the team. This is a valuable experience.

Perhaps because of this experience, coupled with Popovich's teaching, Arenas will walk out of a life that is completely different from his previous life.

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

The major general's ruthless words are not bad. This is a sentence that every competitive person will say after his failure.

Mo Mengchen simply shook hands with him without saying much.

The last person to greet Mo Mengchen was David Robinson, who had just finished his last NBA game in his life.

His career ended with the finals, and the audience's enthusiasm touched the big man. He looked in tears, not sad about retirement, but about not being able to bring a ring to San Antonio.

He felt that he was not worthy of the praise he received.

"My invitation is still valid, and the doors of Detroit are open to you at any time." Momonchen and Robinson hugged.

Robinson's rare opponent in recent years has been given to him.

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

Has he considered it? Mo Mengchen sneered.

Robinson may not have considered this matter at all. He wanted to spend the rest of his life from the beginning. A ring holding his thighs was not enough to make him betray him.

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

Strange fate.

Interestingly, Robinson was the first player to be affected by the time traveler effect.

Since Mo Mengchen opened the first domino in the summer of 1996, it triggered the time traveler effect, changing the fate of the Spurs, and many things have changed.

The year 2003 in this life is almost not the same alliance as the year 2003 in the previous life.

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

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

Those who only have one super in charge, such as the Knicks, Spurs, and Duncan era, are inevitably defeated by the Pistons.

Robinson was supposed to join forces with Duncan, but now he is waiting for Kidd and he will inevitably retire alone in the end.

After the madness, the player has to return to the locker room.

In addition to the necessary champagne shower, there is also time to set up a championship stage for the scene.

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

The old place, Hill is still here.

On June 26, 1999, the Pistons won the championship for the first time, Mo Mengchen and Hill hugged each other excitedly, at that time, one was 27 years old and the other was 26 years old.

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

Hill will no longer be so excited that he hugged Mo Mengchen, nor will he be so excited that he will cry alone because of creating three consecutive championships. He has become much more steady.

"It seems you have completed your final attack on the Spurs." Hill determined that Mo Mengchen would stay on the field and squirt trash with his opponent.

Am I that bad?

Mo Mengchen said lightly: "The final attack? You are so serious, just a few words of motivation, and say goodbye to David by the way."

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

Those who win and are full of honor can certainly be called heroes.

But like David Robinson, who was thrusting his 37-year-old body to knock out the last bullet, faced with an unchanging defeat, accepting the result sadly and solemnly, can be regarded as a hero.

"Mo," said Hill, "When we get old like David, can we meet a young man in the finals like him?"

Mo Mengchen smiled faintly and said, "For me, that day will not come."

Everyone will grow old, and only Mo Mengchen, a guy with a lot of confidence, dares to ignore the laws of nature.

Hill was used to his appearance and finally asked: "I have achieved five consecutive championships and have also set a record for the best regular season, defending the title in the playoffs, and won 20 points in each game."

"Mo, is this our ending?"

It can be seen that he has been fighting for many years and played until June every season, which 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 are the records?”

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

“We have raised the Bulls’ best record in regular season history for five games.”

"We maintained a complete victory in the playoffs, replacing the 76ers in 1983 and becoming the real FO-FO-FO team."

Hill asked seriously and seriously: "What are the records?"

"Indeed, the records after the merger era are gone." Mo Mengchen put away his smile and turned his eyes. Two majestic gazes seemed to be looking through Hill's body and pointing directly to his heart. "What about the merger era before the merger era, have you never considered it?"

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

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

Something he never thought of.

Things that 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 want to..."

Mo Mengchen walked past him and patted Hill on the shoulder, "The road ahead is far, mom, don't be discouraged."

After saying that, Mo Mengchen walked past him, Hill was silent for a few seconds, followed, and seemed to have found a new source of motivation.

They came out of the locker room gate together.

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

"Go!" Mo Mengchen said.
Chapter completed!
