Chapter 1001 Time is like water
Time is like water. Due to the famous Dor.Mo, this famous person, there are countless tourists visiting.
Because people heard that Dor.Mo would return to his hometown to live in a small house almost every August.
However, no one knew the specific address of Dor.Mo. I only heard that he would return to his hometown to rest and cook a few dishes at the steak master branch he opened.
Only the lucky guests will eat the dishes he cooks.
Therefore, every July and August, customers in Duamerez's steak branch are endless.
Two years ago, the Pistons had just won five consecutive championships, and Dor.Mo returned to Duamelize again. She felt that the store was a bit outdated and spent a lot of money to renovate before leaving.
Today, Duamerze’s Steak Master Branch is not only the most exquisite restaurant in the town, but also first-class in Melbourne.
The Steak Dashen Branch has become one of the town's external attractions. In order to attract customers, the manager of the Steak Dashen Branch specially set up a bronze sculpture of Dor.Mo outside the store, which contains handprints left by Dor.Mo.
Just like the Jordan statue outside the Chicago United Center, every visitor who comes to Duamelize will take a photo with this bronze statue.
It was mid-August, and it was the day when Dor.Mo went home to rest.
Another man came from Detroit from thousands of miles away.
He is Joe Dumas.
He traveled across the ocean to Australia, not for travel, but just wanted to talk about renewal with Mo Mengchen.
This summer, Momonchen's contract expired and became a free agent again. Strangely, no team showed the intention of wanting to bid.
Because the whole world knows that Mo Mengchen and the piston are firmly tied together, prospering and losing together.
He wants to sign a contract, and he also signs a contract with the Pistons.
To retire, it is also retirement from the Pistons.
Some people believe that Mo Mengchen will choose to retire, and there is nothing worthy of his nostalgia in the NBA. He has proved that he is the king of this era. The Pistons under his command have far surpassed any team since the era of the league's merger.
If you don’t consider competitiveness, only the Celtics half a century ago can compare with it.
As the captain of this space warship, Mo Mengchen's achievements are enough to overlook the Alliance.
No one compared the Magician to him anymore, because the Magician was nothing compared to him. As early as when he defeated the Lakers, who were also known as the luxury battleship and the Redemption Team in the 2004 finals, he completely surpassed the Magician and became the first point guard in history.
Since then, the person he compared was no longer a magician, but Michael Jordan, who has been firmly sitting on the top throne of the Pantheon.
Dor.Mo oh MJ ?
This is a problem that plagues the world, but not Dumas.
In Dumas' heart, Mo Mengchen is the best player in history. Jordan's career is great and legendary, but he has never led a team like Mo Mengchen to make it difficult for him to look up.
The three consecutive championships in the 1990s were certainly shocking the past and present.
But...Mo Mengchen led the Pistons, and has won seven consecutive championships from 1999 to the present.
Dumas' trip was to bring the founder of the dynasty back to the team.
He does not allow Mo Mengchen to retire. This guy is only 32 years old this year. With his playing style, he has at least five years of peak period. What should he retreat?
He came to Duamelize, and finally, with the guidance of the driver in the town, he arrived at the street where the steak god was.
"Sir, have you seen the sycamore tree in front of you? The steak god is opposite the tree." The driver enthusiastically guided Dumas.
Dumas nodded slightly.
The last time I came here, it was four years ago.
At that time, the steak god in Duamelize had just been open. This town was like the American countryside in the 1970s. There were no such good roads, no so many gorgeous buildings, and no merchants all over the streets.
The person who brought all this was Mo Mengchen.
His property moved into Duamelize, and the investment and new construction were invested. With his financial resources and personal influence, Duamelize easily turned into Melbourne's richest town.
"This is the influence of that guy." Dumas smiled, "Who said he was unpatriotic?"
He just loves his home more.
Dumas slowly walked under the sycamore tree, opposite the steak god.
This sycamore tree is growing well. Dumas remembers that there were no sycamore trees here four years ago. This tree may have been transplanted or planted in recent years. It was autumn and there were countless fallen leaves.
Dumas believes that this area is the most hated by cleaners, and fallen leaves are their mortal enemies, and they spend a lot of time cleaning the streets every day.
In fact, he felt that leaving some fallen leaves on the street was more autumnal.
Thinking of this, Dumas raised his feet and entered the Steak God branch.
"Hello, sir, please come in." A woman who may be in high school or college led Dumas into the restaurant.
Black people are not uncommon in Australia. They are immigrant countries themselves. In addition, in order to enhance their competitiveness, the sports department vigorously introduced African immigrants, mainly South Sudan. These African black people cannot see any clues at this time, but in the future, they will bring vitality to the Australian sports community.
"Is Dor.Mo in the store?" Dumas asked.
The waitress smiled and said, "You are lucky. The boss will cook for you personally, which is only one in a thousand."
"It seems I'm having a good time today." Dumas smiled.
He opened the menu, flipped around, and soon came across a striking dish: Joe Dumas' favorite - Yuelong Steak.
This is the new steak made by Mo Mengchen two years ago. Dumas was so fond of it after taking a bite. He also helped shoot advertisements for free, and it became a hit.
"It's him." Dumas said to the waiter, "Tell him that I'll cut seven times in the middle of the steak, one deep and one shallow, and the last one must be heavy and powerful, so that the sauce can be evenly distributed!"
Dumas believed that as long as the waiter conveyed the original words, Mo Mengchen would know who the guest was.
The waitress was stunned: "Hello, can you please say it again?"
So Dumas really said it again.
After listening carefully, the waiter asked, "Are you Mr. Joe Dumas?"
When Dumas heard this, he was amused. His fat face was full of tyrants: "Am I so famous in Australia?"
The waiter couldn't help but smile and said, "The boss has given him a special order. If he ordered the moonrock steak, he said a lot of strange things. And if the other party is a black man, it may be Mr. Joe Dumas."
"A bunch of weird words?" Dumas said angrily, "This is the code that the guy agreed with me!"
"Wait a minute, I'll inform the boss now." The waiter left with a smile.
With endless customers, Dumas believes that the restaurant's revenue must be considerable.
But Mo Mengchen certainly doesn't care about this little money. With this guy's value, he probably can open the steak god all over Australia with just a little finger.
It's just that there's no need for this.
At this time, Dumas saw a poster in the center of the restaurant.
If he read it correctly, it should be the poster of the Pistons' 2003 victory over the Spurs.
On the poster, Mo Mengchen and Hill held up the FMVP together.
That was the only time in history when two teams in the finals were selected for the FMVP.
That is the greatest season in history.
Dumas won a total of nine championship rings in his player career and management career. If he was asked to choose his favorite one, his answer would definitely be this one in the 2002-2003 season.
This season, he did not play a game as a player, but was more on the outside.
As an audience member, he was extremely honored to witness the Pistons' regular season 77 wins.
Afterwards, the complete victory in the playoffs brought the Pistons' legend to a higher level, and five consecutive championships were achieved, and they proved that they were the unique rulers.
That year later, Pistons' boss Bill Davis was delighted and Dumas was also the president of basketball affairs operations, and his career went to a higher level.
In a blink of an eye, it was already two years ago.
Two years have passed, and when he recalled the moment of winning the championship, looking at this poster, the games seemed to be replaying in front of him. The splendid Pistons team was the strongest team in his mind in history.
It cannot be said that it is in his mind, because most of the official NBA lists and selected by many professional media, 95% of the lists have selected the Pistons as the strongest team in history.
The Pistons were not selected as the strongest media or list, either they were not in the market or to attract attention. Once they were besieged by the outside world, their purpose would be achieved. When the time comes, they would come out and admit their mistakes and let the Pistons return to the top of the list, and the matter would be over.
"It's really nostalgic." Dumas said with emotion.
After that season, the Pistons obtained a draft pick from Cameron Anthony through a trade and trained him as a successor.
The pistons are so strong that the outside world believes that their rule is unshakable.
There has never been an unshakable dynasty in the world.
In the summer of 2003, a major event that shocked the alliance occurred in the trading market.
The Lakers made a big deal with the Timberwolves, which was famous for the league's history with O'Neal, Shaw Brian and two future unprotected first-round picks.
The Lakers' OK era ends from now on.
The history of O'Neal and Kobe's competition came to an end.
In order to get O'Neal, the Timberwolves sent Garnett and Nene to Los Angeles.
The Lakers' OK era is over, but the brand new KK era has arrived.
With Kobe and Garnett, two ruthless people with unlimited competitive desires and a wild beast, the Lakers recruited soldiers and introduced two veterans of the 1990s who were determined to be ringed. For a moment, the important task of overthrowing the Pistons dynasty and ending the Detroit rule fell on the Lakers.
Thinking back at this point, Dumas sighed.
