Fanwai 2: The curtain call of the father and mother
October 31, 2014
Detroit, Empire Axis Arena.
Today is the opening game of the NBA 2013-2014 regular season.
Last season, under the leadership of Cameron Anthony, Eddie Curry and Brandon Roy, the Pistons won the fourteenth championship in team history and the twelfth since 1999.
The Pistons are undoubtedly the greatest sports club to date in the 21st century. They have created ten consecutive legends and written an immortal chapter of 12 crowns in 15 years.
Tonight, it is their championship flag raising ceremony and ring awarding ceremony.
There is also a ceremony-the retirement ceremony of Grant Hill and Mo Mengchen’s jerseys.
Many new fans are puzzled. Why is Dor. Mo the best player in NBA history and one of the greatest athletes in the 21st century? Why has Dor.Mo retired for so many years to get such an honor that he deserves?
The former Pistons general manager Joe Dumas gave the answer: “He hopes to retire with Grant.”
Hope to retire with Hill jersey, it sounds more like an excuse. For the world, Dor.Mo is a familiar and unfamiliar cultural symbol.
Before 2007, he was surrounded by people all over the world.
After 2007, people can only look for his greatness through the game video and the stories he left behind.
Occasionally he makes some news to attract the attention of the world, but he is no longer the focus of the world.
Tonight, after an interval of seven years, he will stand under the spotlight again, is he alright?
The Pistons defeated the old opponent Spurs in the opener and achieved the first victory of the season.
At the end of the game, the audience stood up together, Mo Mengchen and Hill, dressed in suits, slowly walked into the stadium.
Many elderly fans dragged their families to the scene and almost shouted their throats.
Seven years later, Dor. Mo, who is 41 years old, still looks young, unlike Hill who is bald.
Even if he has been retired for many years, the momentum that prevailed in the world still exists.
“I hope this group of people is crazy for me.” Hill said depressed.
Mo Mengchen said lightly: “This is called beauty in distance.”
“Yeah.” Hill said with emotion, “I knew that, I might as well retire with you.”
Mo Mengchen said with a smile: “If you retire with me, you can’t witness the great ten consecutive championships, nor can you surpass Bill Russell and become the player with the most championships in history.”
The Great Lord of the Rings has won 11 championships in total.
And Hill? In a more fierce and more competitive era, he created ten consecutive championships with the team. His 18-year career has played for the Pistons. He won 12 championships, surpassed Russell and became the player with the most championships in NBA history. .
Hill smiled, he really has no regrets, his career is so bright.
“Let’s count down!”
The audience at the scene counted down from 10, and the voice became louder.
The top of the screen shows the career highlights of Mo Mengchen and Hill.
In 1994, Hill joined the Pistons in the third round of the first round.
In 1995, Mo Mengchen joined the Pistons in the first round with the eighteenth pick.
They fought side by side to defend the strong enemy together.
In the first round of the 1996 playoffs, defeated the Magic in five games;
The 1997 semi-finals suffered a five-time defeat by the Bulls dynasty;
The 1998 Eastern Conference Finals tie-breaker was Jordan’s lore;
Then, the built-in music of the collection became inspiring, and the voice of the audience became more and more enthusiastic.
In 1999, the lockout season, this year belongs to Hill.

In 2007, the scepter was handed over, surpassing its predecessors, and nine consecutive championships were reached!
In 2008, ten consecutive championships set the era and dominate the league.
In 2009, injuries fell and myth shattered.
In 2010, the system changed and the battle was defeated.
In 2011, all the staff rose up, the Grand Hill finals came down, and the blood of the veterans had not yet shed.
In 2012, the legend will end and the Pistons semi-finals will be out.
In 2013, Grant Hill’s last dance, the Pistons won 12 championships.
The screen became dark, and a bunch of words appeared.
“Your legend, we have the honor to witness!”
With loud music, live lighting, Mo Mengchen and Hill need to make a final speech.
Hill’s speech took 20 minutes alone, Mo Mengchen was sleepy, and then he finally ended the speech that the smelly and long audience just liked.
“After listening to Grant’s speech, I almost fell asleep.” Mo Mengchen’s first sentence caused laughter at the scene.
Mo Mengchen moved forward slightly, accompanied by the shouting at the scene, saying: “I still have to say a word, long time no see.”
“I have met many people in my life. They gave me help and motivation to motivate me to move forward. If I want to thank, I am here to thank you all day and night. I think a lot, and the most I should thank is The city of Detroit.” The cry of the audience interrupted Mo Mengchen again. He had to stop and wait for the sound to stop.
“I have a special connection with Detroit.” Mo Mengchen said, “When I came here for training in 1995, I met my wife-Ephraim at the international airport.”
applause interrupted him.
“Since then, I feel like I will make some achievements here.”
When Mo Mengchen said “a little”, the audience at the scene was amused by him.
Even Hill was whispering: “That’s really big.”
“So, first of all, I would like to thank Detroit, and this great city for giving me love, friendship, and career.”
“I also want to thank the fans who came to the scene and failed to come to the scene, thank you for your selfless love and support.”
“I would like to thank my teammates for their tolerance and trust, so that I can lead them forward.”
Mo Mengchen said: “Finally, I want to thank my family for their support and help. They gave me love and motivation, so that you can see Dor.Mo on the court.”
The terrifying scream swept the Empire Axis Arena.
More than 30,000 spectators roared together.
“When you love a city and often wander through it, not only your soul, but also your body will be very familiar with these streets, so that after many years, a light snow that may be caused by the sadness and falling In sad mood, your legs will automatically take you to a favorite corner.” Mo Mengchen said, “This is what Detroit means to me, and this is why I am standing here tonight, thank you for your love. ”
Mo Mengchen’s speech was very smooth. It can be seen that he memorized the speech early, and he may have practiced it hundreds of times in private, otherwise he would not speak so fluently.
Hill took 20 minutes to give a speech. He only took less than ten minutes. When he handed over the microphone, the farewell ceremony also ended.
The voice of the scene was higher than a wave. Then, Mo Mengchen and Hill accompanied the family, watching the No. 9 jersey and the No. 33 jersey lift off, with the Pistons’ 14 championship flags, and Dave Bin’s No. 2, Chuck Daly’s No. 2, Bob Lanier’s No. 16, Vinier Johnson’s No. 15, Dennis Rodman’s No. 10, Isaiah Thomas’ No. 11, Bill Lamber’s No. 40, No. 13 by Jerome Williams, No. 20 by Jamal Magloire, No. 7 by Louis M. Roll, No. 30 by Rashid Wallace, together became Part of Pistons history.
Mo Mengchen and Hill embraced on the spot.
The greatest duo in the history of NBA, two superstars standing on President Hill, after tonight, they will bid farewell to their final force team.
The next day, the whole city of Detroit was still filled with the sad atmosphere of farewell.
Mo Mengchen returned to the Garryton apartment and stayed for a night. Originally, he wanted to sleep lazy. A strong golden retriever woke him up.
This golden retriever is Buddy’s daughter named Heidi.
Since it was born, Medela watched a movie called “Heidi and Grandpa”, so he named it Heidi.
Heidi woke up Mo Mengchen because someone came to visit, this person was no one else, it was Grant Hill who retired the jersey with Mo Mengchen yesterday.
“I do not welcome idlers here.” Mo Mengchen said to Hill.
Hill asked: “What are your next plans?”
“There is something wrong at home, I have to go back about the lion.” Mo Mengchen said.
Hill knew he was talking about the little lion he bought from the zoo, he had seen it.
In recent years, in addition to specializing in cooking and cooking, Mo Mengchen has also become a famous rancher in Australia, but his ranch is more like a hunting ground dedicated to Grace, like a small wildlife park.
His life is calm and interesting, unlike Hill.
“I plan to join TNT as a narrator.” Hill said.
Mo Mengchen said: “Say hello to Chuck and Kenny for me.”
Talking a few words, they decided to go out for a lunch and relive the feeling of the year.
Mo Mengchen and Hill dressed up, even the diehard fans can hardly recognize them.
Just like this, two people and one dog appeared in Detroit’s famous restaurants-Danny and Jiun.
They entered and chose a good location. The guests around didn’t recognize it, but cast a weird look on Heidi who followed them in.
“When did this restaurant open?”
“After you retire.”
“No wonder.” Mo Mengchen said this because he basically visited the restaurants in the city when he was in Detroit, and also rated the best restaurants and the worst restaurants. His memory is always good, he can’t remember There was such a restaurant at the time, so I asked.
The waitress came over, put the menu on their table, and saw the golden retriever sitting sideways, she said, “Sir, we have five rules here.”
“Oh? Which five?” Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.
In fact, he saw this on the wall long before entering the store.
The waitress was asked to roll her eyes, “No noise, no interference with other people’s meals, no smoking, no pets allowed~www.mtlnovel.com~ Do you say she?” Mo Mengchen pointed to Heidi, “She is not a pet, she Is my friend.”
said, Mo Mengchen lowered his head and said to Heidi: “This lady actually said you are my pet.”
So Heidi stared at the waitress with a fierce look.
“Please…please cooperate!” The waitress stepped back in shock.
Hill laughed: “Don’t tease her, shall we change places?”
“Wait, isn’t there five rules? You only said four.” Mo Mengchen said, “Is there another?”
“Our store rules.” The waiter can’t bear this stubborn weirdo. “One, no noise; two, no interference with other people’s meals; three, no smoking; four, no pets; five, unless you are Dor.Mo, he Enjoy all the privileges in our shop!”
Finally, the waitress gave a playful look at Mo Mengchen: “If you are Dor.Mo, let alone us, Detroit will give you a green light.”
Hill was crying and laughing.
Mo Mengchen slowly took off his wig, removed his beard, and finally took off his sunglasses. So, the face that was worth the price fell into the sight of the waitress.
“If there are no other questions, can we start ordering?”
