Chapter 1093 The Lion King and the Lioness
"I'm not the only one who hates you?"
Regarding this matter, Hill did not deny it. As he said, if Mo Mengchen's retirement decision was made public, countless people would express their reluctance.
He is only 33 years old, even if the fragile knee is injured again, it is not a devastating injury, and he can wait until he is fully recovered before returning.
This is not the 60s and 35s of the last century. At that time, the level of medical care was not as perfect as it is now, and the careers of players were very short. People like Mo Mengchen who are good at taking care of their bodies should play at the age of 33 or later, only [-] Thinking about retiring at the age of six and leaving this huge family business behind, no matter how you think about it, it's not right.
Mo Mengchen asked: "Did JD ask you to persuade me, or did you come over and persuade me after hearing the news?"
"Is there a difference between the two?"
Big difference.
"If it's the former, it means that you are just entrusted by others."
"If it's the latter, it means you don't want to part with me, then I will be very happy, and then I will solemnly ask someone to send you out of my ward."
Hill was annoyed by him, so it's wrong to do anything with him?
"If it wasn't for JD, I wouldn't know about it," Hill said. "He didn't ask me to persuade you, he just felt that I needed to know about it."
This is the genius of Dumas, he doesn't need to speak, he knows Yi Hill's temperament, he will definitely not be able to sit still when he hears the news, even if he doesn't speak, the mother who has to worry about everything will rush to him Go to the hospital to persuade the old man to change his mind.
This old man is really bad.
Mo Mengchen didn't tell the truth, and sat firmly, waiting for Hill to continue.
"In that case, please open your mouth. I want to know how you can persuade me." Mo Mengchen said lightly.
His state of defending against the enemy made it difficult for Hill to speak. He did prepare a lot of rhetoric, but he also found that Mo Mengchen's attitude was firm. A reckless man who decides what to do next by patting his thigh.
"I just want to tell you that no matter what you do, you should think twice, let alone such a big thing?"
"You think I don't know the truth?"
Mo Mengchen asked back.
Hill remained silent, Mo Mengchen continued: "I've been thinking these days, what else can I do?"
"Personal honors, championships, and training successors." Mo Mengchen said slowly, "I have done everything I can do. If I continue to be a member of the Pistons, I can't find a way forward."
When he mentioned this, Hill suddenly thought of the goal Mo Mengchen had told him in the past.
"You said that tying the eighth consecutive championship is your goal, but surpassing the eighth consecutive championship is your goal. We have just tied the eighth consecutive championship, and there is another goal."
"So, I decided to retire next year. I believe we can achieve this goal at this time next year." Mo Mengchen asked with a smile, "When you say that, what goals do I have?"
Hill didn't expect this sentence and put himself in it: "Don't you like integers? The number 9 is not very good."
Hey, isn't it inappropriate to say this in front of me, the best No. 9 player in NBA history?
"I am the greatest No. 9 in history." Mo Mengchen paused, "I may also be the greatest player in history. What's wrong with retiring with nine consecutive championships surpassing the Celtics dynasty?"
Hill said: "You signed a 3+2 contract at the beginning. From this point of view, you were aiming at ten consecutive championships from the beginning. Why did you change your mind?"
"Because that's just one reason I convinced myself. Grant, everyone can fight for the honor, but the honor is always there. There will be a champion every year. You and I will grow old. The younger generation will take over sooner or later. It's time to put it down. I have to let go." Mo Mengchen said, "I am old and tired, and there is nothing to worry about."
Hill is still not persuaded: "I don't accept your decision."
"Unfortunately, my future is up to me." Mo Mengchen said, "If you have time, wait for me to leave the hospital, and we will take my family out together."
"where to?"
"I haven't figured it out yet."
The conversation ended here, Hill no longer entangled with Mo Mengchen's decision to retire, and this matter was temporarily suppressed.
Because the draft has just ended and the NBA offseason is about to begin, maybe Mo Mengchen changed his mind in two days.
Only when he actually announces that he will retire at the end of this season, all this will be irreversible.
At the beginning of August, Mo Mengchen was officially discharged from the hospital.
At this time, there has been a lot of commotion during the offseason.
The Lakers renew the contract with the KK combination at the same time with a maximum salary, ensuring that these two will play for the Lakers at least until 2013. If all goes well, these two are very likely to die for the Lakers at the same time.
At the same time, in order to make the team competitive for the championship, the Lakers are also recruiting as much as they can. The intention is obvious, that is, to rush out of the West next season.
The Timberwolves didn't do much action here, O'Neal was aging, James renewed his contract with a maximum salary, Payton retired, and Posey left the team.
Due to the geographical environment, it is difficult for the Timberwolves to buy players in the free market, let alone a trade. No one wants O'Neal—it cannot be said that no one wants it, but the transaction value is average;
Both James and Hamilton are not for sale. After excluding these three people, what is left is a bunch of scrap metal that others don't like.
The big moves of the Pistons are concentrated during the draft, and the next thing they have to do is to maintain the health of the players and the stability of the lineup, waiting for the arrival of next season.
mid august
Masai Mara National Park is very lively because of the arrival of two NBA superstars, Mo Mengchen and Hill, with their families.
This incident spread early, and some tourists who were not interested in wild animals also joined in the fun.
Usually the big guys come to Masai Mara to shoot animals, but today, most of the sightseeing cars are around the sightseeing cars of Mo Mengchen and Hill's family, and they take pictures with cameras and cameras from a distance.
"In this kind of place, can you restore your youthful vitality?" Hill asked with a smile.
"Maybe." Mo Mengchen looked forward lightly.
At this time, a group of lions appeared [-] meters in front of them.
The first male lion has a strong mane, a plump body, and is very vigorous. Behind him are about four adult female lions in different shapes, all of them are healthy, and there are several cubs, which look really mighty.
"Pilu, which lion group is this?" Mo Mengchen tried to put on a professional look. He knew a little about lions, but most of them came from documentaries, and he only knew one lion group in Masai Mara.
The tour guide said with a smile: "This is the Martha Lion Pride - our star here!"
"This is the Martha lion group?" Mo Mengchen looked over in surprise.
There are countless prides of lions in the vast Masai Mara National Park. Mo Mengchen got to know one of them through "Big Cat Diary", which is the Martha lions walking towards him.
Hill asked, "Is there only one male lion?"
He also can only rely on documentaries to understand lions, and subconsciously feels that the average lion group has two lion kings.
The tour guide said: "There were two before, but one of them was besieged and killed by three lions. Now there is only one left. It is our big star, because there is an obvious scar on the nostril. We call it Nuochi ” (Notch)
Mo Mengchen and his party passed by the Martha lions.
Mo Mengchen turned his head and glanced at the majestic solo lion king.
"It's amazing to be alone and dominate a pride of this size," Hill said.
"Isn't it? Nuochi is not only physically strong, but also very patient with kindergarten teachers and friendly to tourists. He is a very spiritual lion." The tour guide praised Nuochi as enthusiastically as his own children.
Seeing the real lion, all the children of the Mo family were very excited, Su Ge encouraged the sisters to attack Mo Mengchen together.
"Daddy, can we have a lion?"
"I want a lion cub!"
"Yes, just like the one being held in the mouth of the lion mother!"
Mo Mengchen gave Su Gela a white look, and the sightseeing car continued to move forward.
After a few hours, Mo Mengchen and Hill's family saw many animals. As the most popular creature in Masai Mara, lions appeared frequently today. They even witnessed the whole process of lions catching their prey once. .
After sitting in the car for three hours, from afternoon to evening, on the way back, they found a more interesting scene.
"Something will happen here soon, do you want to stop?" The guide found an unfamiliar lion group, and three or four female lions approached the male lion who was in poor health.
Because they live here all the year round, leading tourists to visit this and that, they have a keen intuition.
The tour bus stopped.
Suddenly, the lioness launched an attack on the male lion, one biting the legs, one biting the back, and the other kept swinging its paws and scratching and scratching at the male lion's cheek.
The male lion in poor health roared for help, and its two strong and healthy brothers appeared, and launched a counterattack at the group of shrews, beating them violently on the spot, until the lionesses who had just been violent to the sick male lion lay down and woke up. Belly.
"What's going on here?" Hill saw that this was from the same pride.
"It's the lion's instinct to attack the weak, and it's the lioness' instinct to reject the thin male lion." Mo Mengchen explained for the tour guide.
The guide said: "Yes, but it doesn't happen often because they have three landowner males and the other two males are in good health, and females usually don't behave like this."
If there is any regret, it is that Mo Mengchen and the others did not take pictures of this interesting scene.
On the way back, Mo Mengchen and Hill sat on one side.
"I always say, I'm a lion and you're a lioness, like those guys call you and me Papa and Mama."
"why?"
Mo Mengchen looked towards the distant grassland: "I am like the lion king in the lion pride, strong and never back down."
"The lion king will always grow old one day, but the lion group needs to be led by a young strong man. The fate of the lion king is to be replaced by a young lion." Mo Mengchen said, "Even if he is not replaced by a young lion, the lions in the group The lioness will also have a rebellious heart because of the old age of the lion king, and you can see it today."
"Those guys dare?" Hill didn't believe that those people in the team would not know who they were because Mo Mengchen was old.
"Yes, some old lion kings will be chased away by young people, and some old lion kings will be crowded out by lionesses because of their inability to lead the lion group." Mo Mengchen said, "There are also some old lion kings who will fight in their own lions. I chose to leave before my physical condition was at its worst."
Hill suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Mo Mengchen a long time ago. It should have been during the All-Star Weekend of a certain year. They talked about getting old. He told Mo Mengchen to be more friendly to young people, otherwise when he gets old, The gang may come back with even worse vengeance.
"I'm not going to let this happen."
When he answered that way at the time, Hill thought he had confidence in his own strength, but now it seems that he may have foreseen today.
People who have been strong for a lifetime will not accept being surpassed and challenged when they arrive.
Suddenly, Hill understood Mo Mengchen's decision.
As a friend, as a teammate who has fought side by side for 12 years, he should support each other.
"Why do I have to be the lioness and you the lion king?" Hill asked finally.
"Because you accept failure more easily than me. The lioness was born in the lions, grew up in the lions, and will dedicate her life to the lions." Mo Mengchen said, "Think about it, isn't this you? I'm sure , you will beat until you can't beat it, but I won't."
Although what he said made sense, Hill just didn't accept it.
