Mo Mengchen continued his special training, while the Pistons had to accept a sad fact in the next few days.

Whether Mo Mengchen retired or not was another matter. Someone chose to retire first and chose to retire.

On September 7, 2006, Jerome Williams rejected the Pistons' two-year minimum salary and announced his retirement.

As one of the members of the 96 Golden Generation, Williams played for the Pistons for ten years of his career and won eight consecutive championships with the team, making great contributions to the establishment of the Pistons dynasty.

This gorgeous piston is the only player with a bad boyish temperament that perfectly fits the blue-collar city of Motor City.

His ferocity and rudeness, his toughness and cruelty.

People call him the most loyal minion under Dor.mo, which is by no means to belittle him. Over the past ten years, he has won the love of fans with unforgettable penalty areas.

"I am very sorry to announce this. Big     j will always be part of the Pistons country. We will always miss your passion and blood. I hope everything goes well in the future." The Pistons official also spoke out later.

Soon, Joe Dumas announced: "We will retire Jerome's jersey on Christmas Eve."

Although Williams has never been the core of the team, he is not even the main player. He averaged 18 minutes per game in his career. Such a substitute has played in the crowded Pistons for ten years and witnessed the eight championships of the Pistons dynasty. He deserves the treatment of a retired player.

After Dumas announced this, he brought back his fairy spirit to his precarious popularity. He scolded him for fewer fans, but there were still many.

"I have played with Dennis Rodman, and I have been teammates with Rick Mahon. I have seen many tough guys, but Jerome is the toughest person I have ever met." Mo Mengchen said in an interview. "His retirement is sad. I will always miss the days and nights of fighting with him."

Young people send away some veterans every year, which is an inevitable rule.

Newcomers are influx and elderly people are withdrawn, and those who can persist until they are 40 years old are benchmarks in the industry.

Most people like Jerome Williams who play roughly, don’t play much time but end their career early due to injuries.

Mo Mengchen sent away many people, but this was the first time he had a teammate around him who entered the league later than him but retired one step ahead of him.

Others may not have that much touch, but Williams is different. They experienced failure and victory together. He witnessed the history of the Pistons dynasty, and he entered the league a year later than Momonchen.

Moreover, the two famous "Dad" and "Mom" are common in the Pistons and have far-reaching nicknames, which come from Williams' creativity.

Even for such a small character, he has many stories.

Now that he announced his departure, Mo Mengchen was deeply moved.

In a sense, this incident deepened his idea of ​​retiring next year. He was old and the young man was becoming more and more competitive. Moreover, he did not want to be the old turtle who sent away all his peers. He would turn around and walk away with pride when he was still fighting.

September 15

Every year's preseason training camp starts from today.

Like in previous years, this year's preseason training camp is still held at Naruo Sports Center.

"I heard that the recovery equipment has been upgraded here this year?" Hill asked when he first arrived.

Mo Mengchen repeatedly tied his shoelaces: "It seems that yes, it also cost me a lot of money."

Money? Hill didn’t expect Mo Mengchen to care about money?

99.9% of people on earth care about money, but Mo Mengchen is definitely one of the few people who don’t care about it. His salary, advertising endorsement and other income can only be regarded as a little "pocket money" compared with his other income.

"What's new?" Hill asked.

"Some projects we cooperated with Silicon Valley are new things that have not yet been officially put into use. We signed a cooperation plan and handed over to us for the first time."

"That is, we are teenage mice in the laboratory?"

"You can't say that," Mo Mengchen said. "The mice usually don't leave the laboratory alive, but we can."

At this time, Lore ran over and said, "The coach let us gather."

"Come together, Dad." Hill shouted.

"What's the big deal about being late for an old man like us?" After waiting for eleven years, Dr. Mo finally had the opportunity to rely on his seniority.

Mo Mengchen and Hill slowly came to the training ground to meet.

Mo Mengchen saw this year's rookie.

Roy, Lowry and Millsap.

The three future All-Stars cast respectful eyes on Mo Mengchen and Hill.

The three of them joined just in place of retired Jerome Williams, Dale Davis and Prince who was traded.

Although the league is deliberately trying to weaken the Pistons, for Mo Mengchen, weakening is only temporary. As long as he is given time and has sufficient draft picks, he can replenish the lost talents one by one.

Now, the talent within the Pistons has expanded again.

Young people like Anthony, Curry, Ginobili, and Gerald take over; Momontchen and Hill still have energy; Magloyl, Martin, Tony Allen, Martel Webster and others all need playing time, and now Roy, Lore and Millsap are added.

How to allocate playing time is a difficult problem.

At present, Mo Mengchen doesn't need to worry about this.

Players need to make progress in a process. These people will not suddenly demand better role positioning and more playing time. At the earliest, they have to wait until the next year, and by then, he will retire.

This is a question left to Anthony and Curry, who, as the bosses, should know how to do it.

Frauses glanced at everyone and said, "Old rules, we just gathered, there may be some problems with our condition. Let's have a confrontation first, let me see if you can still play ball."

In this confrontation, Momonchen and Hill were excluded.

Anthony led a team, and the people around him were Lowry, Martin, Gerald and Magloyle.

Curry led a team, and his teammates were Roy, Ginobili, Webster, and Millsap.

Judging from the lineup, the black and white teams are both operations of two main players leading three substitutes, but Curry's white team has two rookies.

The game began soon, the Blacks jumped to the ball, Anthony transferred the ball to Lowry, ran through the half, stuck Webster at low post, and caught the ball and made a comeback.

"Second grade, you are sorry for your defense as the No. 6 pick." Anthony opened fire directly at Webster.

Hill said in surprise, "Although the annoying guy is not here, there is no shortage of imitators in this world."

Mo Mengchen sat down and continued to observe.

Anthony's trash talk made the temperature of this confrontation continue to rise. Curry took on the heavy responsibility and continuously penetrated Magloire's defense. The black team was defeated by just hooking hands on the left and right sides.

Then, Roy took the ball. Although he was a rookie, he was not behind. He immediately integrated into a confrontation atmosphere full of gunpowder. When he used his left-handed dribble, Mo Mengchen once suspected that he also had the skill of "left-handed assassin". As the second position of 198 cm, his left and right hands were incredibly balanced.

This should be his first time playing a confrontation with his teammates. His confidence and calmness are not like a rookie at all. This may be the advantage of older rookies. Their mentality is becoming more mature and they will not be unable to find their direction like those 18 or 19-year-old young people.

Roy, who has played for four years of college games, is quite confident and calm.

If Anthony and Curry spontaneously increased the intensity of the confrontation and surprised Frause and Hill, then Roy's performance surprised everyone.

"I want to apologize to Tyshaun." Hill said excitedly, "I have forgotten our little prince when I see Brandon's performance."

People who are fond of the new will not have a good ending.

So Mo Mengchen said to Hill: "You should worry more about yourself."

Hill said heartlessly: "What do I have to worry about?"

"I thought you could still beat the sixth man or something at first, but now, unless the coach is extremely biased, you should beat the seventh man." Mo Mengchen smiled.

This is what is called "people who like the new and get tired of the old will not have a good ending."

Frauses also felt that Roy's combat power might not be better than Hill, who had not played for a year, but for the sake of Gu Quan's mother's face, he could only say; "Brendan is indeed very talented and energetic, but he is not healthy enough. I will not give him too much playing time before the New Year comes."

"Oh?" Mo Mengchen asked, "Why aren't healthy enough?"

"You're going to ask Logan," said Frauses. "It was him who told me to control Brandon's training volume and playing time."

This is the benefit of comprehensive technology. Roy is a mature player. He knows that the hidden dangers of injury will reduce his competitiveness, so he used comprehensive skills to cover up physical discomfort, but he could not escape the eyes of the team doctor.

Logan Ines is the successor of David Wise, who was appointed by Momonchen and Wise. They generally believe that this is an expert in sports medicine, and he will provide security for the pistons. Momonchen can rest assured and Wise can retire with peace of mind.

"Since there is an injury, why not let him withdraw from this confrontation?" Mo Mengchen said, "Brenden is young, don't let him fall into the root of his illness. It is not advisable to train with injuries or play with injuries."

Frauses looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Stop his training and ban him from playing until the hospital provides a complete healthy physical report and passes the Logan level, otherwise don't let him play," Mo Mengchen said.

Mo Mengchen knew very little about Roy's death. He only knew that Roy had a problem with his knee. As for what happened behind him, he didn't know whether he was a glass man or his bad luck.

But according to his experience, there is no glass man, only glass team doctor.
