Chapter 1003: The latest situation of the piston
Chapter 1003: Recent Pistons
"Dad!" cried Sogla, "Mr. Dumas is such a knowledgeable man. I asked him many questions and he gave me good answers!"
Dumas wanted to complain in person, but Socra's praise of "learning and talented" made him very useful, and nodded with his brows stretched.
Knowledge and talented? Mo Mengchen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Dumas, who seemed to be fatter, and patted his son's head carefully: "Sucra, sincerity is a very valuable quality, we cannot speak nonsense."
Dumas twitched his eyebrows and almost failed to drop the tableware in his hand.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to help." Socra saw the opportunity and ran away.
Mo Mengchen watched him enter the kitchen and sat down in front of Dumas: "You didn't say anything strange to him, did you?"
"You may not believe it," Dumas said. "Sogra was asking me why the Pistons had to change the offensive system. He was only 4 years old and he actually knew such profound things!"
Mo Mengchen never felt that the tactical system was so profound, but since Dumas felt that way, that's it.
"I just want to know, why are you here?" Mo Mengchen asked knowingly.
"I haven't seen each other for two months, I miss you very much," Dumas said. "What's the problem if you take the time to come and meet your old friend?"
Mo Mengchen smiled and said, "So, you won't suddenly take out something for me to sign, right?"
Dumas stared at the moon-fall steak that he had only eaten one-third.
This steak is regarded as the best steak in the world by him. Later, Mo Mengchen also developed a quick-frozen and heated version. Although the taste is much different from the ones I have made, I can barely put my stomach on my stomach in days without Mo Mengchen.
Now the founder of the Moon Lost God personally made a steak for him, but he was constantly interrupted and his appetite gradually disappeared.
"Are you sure you want to start contract renewal negotiations on the dining table?" Dumas thought this was not a good occasion.
Mo Mengchen doesn’t have so many odors. Dumas sits in the private room. There is an advantage here, the space is independent and privacy, and customers entering the store will not see them sitting together.
When Dumas finishes his meal, they go out together and will surely attract a large number of onlookers.
So, this is the best negotiation location.
"You either talk to me now or wait until I finish my vacation." Dor.Mo doesn't give you the opportunity to bargain.
Dumas has known him for ten years, and his unchanging dominance is as vague as when they first met in 1995.
Who would have thought that it was already ten years ago?
Who would have thought that the lost genius who was completely unpopular and thought that he could not even hold up a game had created the most amazing myth in modern sports history?
In the past seven years, Mo Mengchen has been elected as the regular season MVP four times and the finals MVP six times. It is better not to mention the best lineup, compared with his championship, it is just a touching touch.
Dumas wiped the oil stains on his mouth with a towel, placed the unfinished steak on the plate and placed it aside.
Then, he took out the cursive script for renewal from his file bag.
There is no need for an agent to be present, Mo Mengchen can review the contract details by himself and then negotiate.
This is a 6-year, 90 million contract extension.
If you include those game prizes, plus the selection of the Best of the Week, Best of the Month, All-Stars, and Best of the Best of the Team. The total amount of the contract will reach 110 million.
"If you are not satisfied with money, you can talk about it again, just a cursive script." Dumas believed that Mo Mengchen was not interested in money.
Salary is a symbol of status for him. He takes more, proves that his status is transcendent, not what money he needs.
"Did I act like a greedy man before?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.
"If Dor.Mo gets less salary than Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Shake O'Neal, etc., we will become the laughing stock of the world," Dumas said. "This is the boss's words."
Duncan, Kobe, O'Neal and others?
What a flow?
Mr. Bill Davidson, do you say that the number one power forward in history, the second shooting guard in history, and the top five centers in history? - Is it appropriate to add the "like-flow" suffix of three people who are enough to enter the top 100,000 pantheons in history?
Wait, this seems to be a matter in the past life.
In this life, as of August 16, 2005, Duncan, Kobe and O'Neal have 0 championships.
If they retire now, it would be like a superstar in the 1990s suppressed by Jordan. By 2047, the 100th anniversary of the NBA, they may be selected into the top 50 of the top 100 superstars in NBA history.
But that's all, because only the champion can measure whether you are great or not.
"I have signed such a big contract, what should I do if I renew other contracts?" Mo Mengchen asked casually.
Dumas said: "We will stay what should be left. You don't have to worry about salary space. The boss will not be stingy about the luxury tax he should pay."
Even though the Pistons are determined to maintain the lineup, some people will always leave.
John Salmons and Rashid Wallace, the seven-time champion of the Pistons, all left because the team could not meet their high salary.
Salmons joined the Hawks.
Rashid signed the Grizzlies for 80 million in 6 years.
Salmons is a restricted free agent, letting him go because the team needs to maintain flexibility in space.
As for Rashid, with the Pistons' salary space, he can no longer get two maximum salaries at the same time.
The Piston had to choose between Momonchen and Rashid, and of course there was no suspense in the result.
Rashid chose to leave for the last big contract of his career.
"I don't need such a long contract," Mo Mengchen said. "Just as before, I need a contract option."
“What year is the option?”
"The third year."
Dumas breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that Momonchen would play for the Pistons for at least three more years.
"Is Paul's health okay?" Mo Mengchen asked.
Dumas shook his head gently: "Just that's it, you know, the postoperative recovery is not going well."
They are talking about Paul Westfal, who led the Pistons to win seven consecutive championships. Westfal missed most of the season due to physical discomfort last season, and most of the time it was led by Adam Frauses.
Later, Mo Mengchen personally performed Westfare's surgery, but his recovery was slow and his health was getting worse and worse. The hospital believed that he needed to take a good rest and could no longer lead the team to fight.
Although coaches don't have to play games, pre-match preparation, supervision and training, tactical research and hard work in each season, the physical and mental consumption is no less than that of the players.
"Where is Jerome?" Mo Mengchen asked.
"I have recovered and my athletic ability is not as good as before, and I am currently undergoing recovery training at the Henry Ford Center," Dumas said.
After Mo Mengchen understood the general situation, he stopped talking.
Seven years are enough to make many people old.
Westfal was exhausted, while Jerome Williams broke his Achilles tendon in a game in the 2003-2004 season.
In the playoffs last season, Jerome chose to return but was injured again.
A blue-collar player like Jerome is a youthful meal. Every time he returns to the factory for overhaul, his functions in all aspects will deteriorate, and he has suffered two consecutive major injuries, almost polishing his athletic ability.
Rashid's departure also took away the mark of an era.
From then on, no longer did the Pistons treat booing as cheering players, and no longer did the players enjoy the enthusiastic booing of the home audience.
Afterwards, Dumas said that he would send someone to print the new contract and send it.
After the meal, Dumas stayed overnight and rushed back to Detroit the next day to prepare for the preseason training camp.
That night, Momonchen returned to Duamelize's home and called Hill.
Hill is planning a ligation in recent days because he and Tamia have had three daughters and they don’t want to have children due to their age.
The easiest way to maintain a pleasant nightlife without wanting children is to ligate.
Mo Mengchen suggested waiting for him to go back and perform surgery on him personally.
But how could Hill give Dor.Mo the chance to play with his little brother? He refused on the spot and said: "When did you have a ligation?"
Mo Mengchen really never did it after traveling through time.
"I can learn if I haven't done it."
"You can practice with me?"
Devil Mountain was furious on the phone.
"So, are you going to reject the best surgeon on this planet?"
"It's just a ligation surgery, is it worth one in ten thousand accident probability?"
Since he had said this, Mo Mengchen had to give up.
Some people can maintain their friendship for decades, but they rarely talk to each other when they meet.
Mo Mengchen and Hill have known each other for ten years. In the past ten years, there have been eight months of the year (including preseason training camp) to train and play games.
Their friendship is indestructible.
Tonight, Mo Mengchen just wanted to say a few words to Hill, without any other purpose.
I think it is a feeling for the recent events.
In the next half month, Mo Mengchen maintained training as usual, went to the steak master to cook a few dishes and accompany his family. His life was dull and his return date was approaching.
