Chapter Eight hundred and fortieth I am so talented, what kind of person will I eventually become?
Every time he comes to Hill's house, Old Hill always invites Mo Mengchen to watch NFL games together.
Then, he had to listen to Old Hill over and over again about NFL in the 1970s, that is, how passionate he was in the era when he was active in the arena.
Just like Westfar always claimed that the NBA in the 1970s was the greatest era ever, the reason was that there was no absolute ruler in that era, and there was no team that completed two consecutive championships. A great jersey like Jabbar was considered the ruler of that era, but, as great as Jabbar, he only won one championship in the 1970s.
Mo Mengchen has his own opinion on this matter.
Maybe Jabbar is not as great as we thought?
In the 1970s, the most classic and dramatic finals in NBA history appeared. Mo Mengchen is sure that Westfar said this because he participated in the so-called most classic and dramatic final.
Everyone thinks their time is the greatest, and it turns out that it is not.
The golden age of NBA was the 1980s, and what about NFL? Mo Mengchen didn't know that all he could do was keep a humble heart and listen to Old Hill bragging.
During the chat, Mo Mengchen learned the secret of Hill's physical fitness so vigorously, and the answer lies with Old Hill.
Old Hill played for Yale University back then and was a star player who integrates football, baseball and basketball. He set the indoor and outdoor jump record and long-distance running record at Yale University that year.
Although it is just a university record, Yale University has produced many talents, and it is also a great thing to be able to maintain the record for a certain period of time. Hill has the current physical fitness, and Old Hill has made an indelible contribution.
"Dad, mom is looking for you." This year's coolie is the unlucky Curry. For several ball rights in the game with the Lakers, he contributed his body to Hill for free for a day.
Hill was not interested in his body, so Curry could only do some physical work at Hill's house.
Mo Mengchen stood up, escaped from Old Hill's claws, and came to the kitchen.
"It's you who cooks?" Mo Mengchen said with wide eyes.
"Tamiya is pregnant. Do you want Ephraim to cook?" Last year, Hill and Houston and others tasted Ephraim's craftsmanship together.
Hill is indeed a humble gentleman. Mo Mengchen is still surprised that he can finish the Thanksgiving dinner without changing his face.
However, Ephraim's cooking skills are not very good, and Hill's cooking skills are not very good.
Let's talk about this turkey.
The strange shape of this piece really makes people regret this turkey that died in vain.
The chickens are not going well. Not only is it destined to become a festival-based meal, but it is also ruined by others.
"If you can make a few good dishes, maybe my dad can shut his mouth for dinner."
Mo Mengchen and Hill reached an agreement on not liking to listen to old NFL stories about Old Hill.
Curry asked, “Is there anything I need to help?”
"Please eat these messy turkey meats."
“A mess?”
Before Hill got angry, Curry started eating. He was indeed very hungry. Turkey had a natural temptation to him. Even if it wasn't Thanksgiving, he liked to eat turkey.
"Have you heard it?" Mo Mengchen moved with sharp hands. Hill could only stand beside him and watched, and asked, "What?"
"Doug has the potential to become the new head coach of the Kings."
"Which Doug?"
Hill realized the answer to this question as soon as he asked. Who else could there be besides Collins?
Four years have passed, and Hill no longer cares about what happened at the beginning, but Mo Mengchen took the initiative to mention it, "Is there any problem?"
"I'm just worried about everyone in the Kings. If they were accidentally injured, would Doug remember how he used to trick a fool who had a brain into playing with an injury, and then half-coaxed and half-deceived everyone in the same way to give everything to the team like that fool?"
"I was not coaxed or deceived, I was voluntarily." Hill explained.
No matter how much arguments are made, Curry couldn't understand what they were talking about, and he ate all the turkey plates in a blink of an eye.
Hill asked, "Do you think the king would be a threat?"
"Do you think the Lakers are a threat?"
"Before ok, they are not a threat."
"That's right." This is also the embarrassment of Mo Mengchen. Although Time Travelers have foresight, in the face of this history that has been changed by him, he cannot take advantage of the Time Travelers' advantages. "If the Lakers are no longer a threat, then all the Western Conference strong teams except the Lakers will be threats."
Hill soon discovered that he was no longer useful in the kitchen. No matter what he said, Mo Mengchen refused to ask him for help, so he could only go out with Curry to buy some wine.
"Look at our future, don't let him drink." Mo Mengchen "reminded".
Although Curry was taken to the police station only because of an accidental drunk driving, it was later proved that he was just drinking and was completely unconscious at the time of the incident, the media that liked to demonize players would not miss this opportunity.
Curry, who was regarded as the future successor by Pistons fans, was naturally demonized.
Curry became an alcoholic. The reason why he lost weight so quickly was definitely because drinking too much alcohol has hurt his body. Although he was drinking every day, his performance was getting better and better. The media believed that this was because he was still young and the harm of alcohol could not be reflected. In a few years, he would lead the future of the Pistons like famous alcoholics such as Chris Mullin and Vin Baker.
Although it is nonsense, the media is confident, and Mo Mengchen also likes to laugh at Curry for this matter.
"What the hell do I have to get his respect?"
Curry asked while out with Hill.
"respect?"
Hill and Mo Mengchen have worked together for six or seven years, but they have never seen that bastard respect him. This rookie actually wants to get the respect of Dor.mo?
"Dream." Hill smiled, "maybe he will become amiable in his dream."
Curry's mother, Gale Curry, has to provide him with psychological counseling every day. She let Curry know that the pressure Mo Mengchen gave him is for his own good, and he should grit his teeth and persevere, rather than have grudges.
Curry has been persevering until now, and his performance has begun to improve, but Mo Mengchen's attitude towards him has not improved.
"Do you know Ricky Davis?" Hill asked.
Of course Curry knows this person. They have played games before. Davis was a Pistons player last season. This season, he was regarded as the absolute core of the Cavaliers, averaging 2165 per game. Maintaining this momentum, the All-Stars are expected.
"He has been on the team for three years and worked hard every day, but Mo never seemed to respect him," Hill said.
They bought the wine and prepared to go home.
Before the red light, Hill stopped the car and across the road, a stray dog died alone.
No one will kick a dead dog.—dor.mo
That night, Momonchen showed Hill's cooking skills. Old Hill's eyes shone after eating: "It seems that Grant didn't lie to me. You are really the best chef in Detroit."
No, it is the best in the world.
Curry was consuming dinner while he told himself to eat less, because he would have to accompany his siblings to have another Thanksgiving dinner when he got home later, but he couldn't stand it now.
They eat while watching NFL games.
Detroit has teams in the four major leagues, but because of the dazzling performance of the Pistons and Red Wings, the other two teams are rarely crowded. Among them, the Detroit Lions, which belongs to the NFL major league, plays every Thanksgiving.
Tonight, the lion was slaughtered by its opponent and was defeated.
The camera gave the Lions' quartile. He looked very young, but even the audience in front of the TV could hear the booing.
"Tom Wilmson, one of the most anticipated new stars of all time, Detroit people were expecting him to lead the Lions to glory, but he failed his talent." Old Hill shook his head, "What a pity."
"Oh?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile, "Is this guy having a lot of trouble off the field?"
"Not much," said Old Hill.
Curry felt relieved.
"He is addicted to alcohol."
Curry's butt cooled.
"Eat excessively, and you can't control your weight well."
The future of the piston seems to have lost its ability to chew.
"There is serious mental deficiency and cannot withstand criticism."
Curry couldn't help but glance at Mo Mengchen.
"In this way, this guy is really a hopeless parallel guy." Mo Mengchen smiled faintly.
After dinner, they each got up, the women were responsible for the aftermath, the old man continued to watch TV, Hill kept Curry, who wanted to go home, and asked him to visit his painting exhibition hall with Mo Mengchen.
It is no longer new that Hill likes to collect paintings by African painters. Every time he goes away, he will go to the local painting exhibition hall.
The collection of this art exhibition hall is worth millions of dollars.
Mo Mengchen turned around and came to the core area.
This painting is interesting. The content in the painting is a person looking in the mirror. It is usually sunny outside the mirror and half rainy. The borders of the painting also contain words left by the painter.
"Don't touch it randomly, this is my most precious painting." Hill led Curry to here.
"Is this painting expensive?" Curry asked.
"It's not expensive." Hill asked Curry to approach, "Eddie, what did you see?"
"Is this a self-portrait?"
"Maybe."
"Then the following words..." Curry wanted to read it, but the handwriting was blurred and he couldn't see what was written on it for a while.
Hill read the words left on it by the author: "The deepest fear in our hearts is not that we are useless; the deepest fear in our hearts is that our strength is far beyond imagination; it is extremely powerful, forcing us to ask ourselves: What kind of person will I become in the end with such a gift?"
A slight light flashed in Mo Mengchen's eyes.
Curry seemed to understand, but he seemed to understand nothing.
