Fanwai 3: Our journey
I have been hesitating, how to unfold my final chapter? First of all, I can’t give you the answer. It’s 2015. I can’t tell you what my life is like after I retire. I don’t know if I can be like Dor. I have dedicated my entire career to Motor City.
You just need to know that until 2015, I still played for the Pistons, and I reached a four-year contract with the team in the summer of 2015.
Now I might need to start with the 2013 opener.
It was the opener, the flag-raising celebration, and the night of the retirement of Dor.Mo and Grant’s jerseys.
They are so special for the Pistons that the team is unwilling to extend the days of retired jerseys.
Actually, NBA teams will not hold the grand days together.
Long 82 regular season games, what are you most afraid of? Is boring.
has a gimmick, which can attract the audience. The Pistons will simultaneously raise the flag raising ceremony and the legendary player jerseys retirement on the same day, which is actually not in compliance.
I believe that the management is after much consideration, and later I learned that they chose to retire this day, only because Dor.Mo is only willing to come to the United States on this day.
So settled.
We have ushered in the most special opener in history.
There has never been an opener in the history of the NBA that made it so solemn as if it was the day of the league’s dissolution.
All seats in the Imperial Axis Arena are full.
There are countless people in the square outside the stadium.
The presence of a large screen allows fans outside to see it even across the street.
How many people are on the scene? can not say it clearly.
That day, we defeated our opponents under the witness of Dor. Mo and Grant.
Then the real highlight began.
Officially produced moving salute highlights, Dor.Mo and Grant highlights are put together, just as they run through each other’s career.
The peak of Dor.Mo is full of Grant.
Grant played 7 more years than Dor. Mo, but his best 11 years were spent with Dor. Mo.
They each gave a speech.
Dor.Mo is still the same, he didn’t particularly thank anyone. In his eyes, we are the ones who should thank him. I must say that he is right. He doesn’t need to thank anyone.
This is Dor.Mo I know.
Whether it is his series of “please witness” legends, consistent coolness, or those junk stories that fans are talking about, it is those things that constitute Dor.Mo.
I failed to witness their peak, but I was fortunate to work with them, so it’s not bad.
When Dor.Mo’s No. 9 and Grant’s No. 33 rose, I heard Fatty said: “Shall we do the same one day?”
“Must.” Brandon didn’t embarrass him.
I snorted softly. Although I believed in my heart that the three of us would get Dor.Mo and Grant like glories in the future, is it my person who works against Fatty? How can I not oppose him?
“What are you humming?” Did he really not understand or pretend not to understand?
“Humph!”
I am consistent.
Seeing that I didn’t explain, Fatty snorted arrogantly. Brandon rolled his eyes in place. I’m sure he called us stupid in his heart.
After the show ended, Grant came to meet us and we asked Dor. Mo where he was. The result was that he had left.
To be honest, we have some regrets.
After he retired, he rarely contacted us. As far as I know, only Brandon has contacted him. Brandon is a piece of glass and often needs a warranty. Dor. Mo is the best doctor. Although he does not have surgery, he can make a plan for a reliable doctor to operate on him. In addition to this, only Grant and he maintain a fixed contact.
Sounds like he is very unforgiving.
But if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it.
Few Pistons players who entered the team in the millennium can establish a personal friendship with Dor.Mo. Fatty may be one, but he is always silent about Dor.Mo’s whereabouts and current situation.
Since 2000, Dor.Mo has established his status as a river and lake, and he has become a sacred existence in the eyes of young people.
outsiders saw him as fearful as a tiger, and we suffered more.
Many times, we dare not even look up at him. What is our intention to establish friendship with him? And he didn’t want to bring the connection on the field to the field.
So when he retired, the only connection between us ceased to exist.
We are not the kind of relationship that would be commensurate with brothers and friends, but the influence he brought to us and the mark left on us will accompany us all our lives.
Without leaving a word, perhaps the best greeting.
He is still him, I believe he also hopes that we are still us. It was the group of promising young men who assuredly delivered the team.
We started the journey of the new season.
Two months ago, everything went smoothly, and in 2014, Brandon was injured.
We are used to being injured as soon as he has a good performance. Even if it is a minor injury, the team also starts the highest level of preparation.
lost the All-Star level master control, our record has fluctuated.
suffered a losing streak, but the win rate in a single month was only 50%.
I was furious in the locker room and used all the vulgar words to teach young people.
I watched the rookie who just entered the team being sprayed by me out of control but without any trace of enjoyment, only sad.
The dynasty is going to continue, but it is not enough for us alone.
Dor.Mo and Grant, like our age, have found a suitable successor. This is another big problem that bothers us.
The Pistons can complete the ten consecutive championships, not only the stable core players, but also the constant flow of fresh blood.
From 1995-2007, that is, Dor. Mo’s 12 years in the team, even if we do not have the advanced draft right, we can also get some results in the draft conference.
When Dor.Mo retired, the tradition of draft Taobao followed him.
The current core team is still left by the previous generation.
centered on me, Fatty, Brandon, Gerrard, Michael (Conley), and Weber (Webster).
Michael is quite satisfactory, Weber’s development is not as expected, Brandon is hurt, and the fat boy is not healthy. Even I can’t guarantee the attendance rate.
The reason for the retrospect is that our management can no longer introduce high-quality fresh blood as it did then.
has been rumored that Dor.Mo controls the Pistons draft. At first no one believed, but looking at our drafts over the years, I have to believe it.
When I was feeling emotion, Fatty said.
He calmed down the rookie who collapsed and made me lose my temper.
“Now is not the time to cry, we still have things to do.” Fatty said calmly, I rarely see him being so serious and serious, “The father and mother’s tasks have been completed, they helped the team get ten consecutive championships, Now that the baton is in our hands, what are you going to do?”
I can’t help but ask him: “Maybe you can tell us what to do.”
“I think we have our own mission.”
“For example?”
Eddy Curry said with a loud voice: “There are more championship flags raised in the Imperial Axis Arena than in the garden.”
Many people say that our transformation lies in the winning streak after the All-Star break, but I will tell you that transformation started at this moment.
We have goals, just like Dor.Mo them.
End of the All-Star Weekend, Brandon came back, we overwhelmed into March, did not lose all month.
In April, only lost 2 games.
We were originally in a weak position and we went straight to the top of the league.
Moreover, there was a huge controversy about the selection of MVP.
Brandon Roy-I must play his name all-he only played 66 games, but snatched his crown from LeBron.
Brandon became MVP!
judges are not based on 22 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game, but in 66 games he played, the Pistons lost only 4 games.
On scoring, he is not as good as me;
On the comprehensiveness of data and the importance of defense, he is not as good as fat boy;
But he has exactly what I and Fatty are missing.
He has Dor.Mo’s decisive courage to kill and his mother’s generosity, but unfortunately it is unhealthy, otherwise he can become the best defender of this era.
Eastern Conference finals, my fate confrontation with LeBron was staged again.
This round of the series has three iconic moments.
Game2, Brandon misplaced LeBron and hit a quasi lore;
Game5, the fat boy swallowed Chris Bosh.
Game6, I got 40 points, the Miamiers failed to drag the game into the tie-break.
So we once again leveled the east, I won the confrontation with LeBron and went to the finals to face another recognized forward better than me: Kevin Durant.
He led the Dallas Mavericks to kill.
The series also played six games. Fatty and I ruled the offensive and defensive ends of the sixth game.
The Mavericks ended the season with a defeat.
We won the fifteenth championship banner. I was elected as the most valuable player in the finals. This is my third time as the most valuable player in the finals. Please note that I did not disrespect my mother, but I have as many FMVPs as he does!
After the season, Rashad Lewis and Brad Miller retired hand in hand.
They were the mainstay of the Pistons dynasty. After winning three consecutive championships, they left the team for their own development and became an All-Star in the new team. When they were old, they returned to the starting point and helped us win the 13th championship in 16 years. I have only respect for them.
This championship put the Pistons one step away from the Celtics championship.
We are very excited about this.
The departure of Brad and Rashad made our second team lack of response points and shooters. The 2013-2014 season champion seems to have made some people in our team overdrawn.
At the beginning of the 2014-2015 season, Fatty was reimbursed for 1/2 season due to cardiac surgery.
Pistons fans are worried about Brandon, but I hurt the hip groove.
So Brandon stayed in the game for two months~www.mtlnovel.com~ When I came back, he still didn’t change his face and continued the game.
The team wanted him to take a break, but he refused because his body did not feel any discomfort.
As a result, he really did not suffer from injuries. Instead, fat and me and injuries stopped, which directly affected the team’s game plan.
We stumbled to end the regular season, the playoff semi-finals were eliminated and failed to complete three consecutive championships.
I don’t want to make any excuses, but if I and Fatty are not injured, I think we are fully capable of completing three consecutive championships in this less competitive season.
Once the season was over, Gerald, who had been suffering from injuries for many years, chose to retire.
Next, Michael Reed also chose to retire.
Fortunately, Manu stayed.
After , this is the moment.
As you know, I just signed a renewal contract with the team. Until I am 35 years old, I will be a Pistons player.
Our business has not been completed, our journey has not been completed, I don’t know what will happen in the future, I only know Fatty, Manu, Brandon… and me, we will hold Dor.Mo, Grant, Gerrard, Jerome, Darja, Brad, Rashad, Louis passed the torch they passed on.
