Chapter 156: Where are you standing?

The first day of training camp laid the whole tone.
"In addition to worrying about their injury, the current progress is very good, they are becoming a passionate team."
On the tenth day of training camp, Detroit BOG made a Pistons feature.
The high-intensity training camp makes everyone stretch a string, because once someone slacks, Mo Mengchen's words will follow.
"He has done more than he did last year."
Coach assistant Dane Stanton told the media.
He also told a story.
"Louis M. Lor's performance was relaxed on the second day, so Mo stared at him all day. That was definitely the most painful day since the offseason. For us, the most important thing is that they are willing to Obey Mo's leadership."
Stan used the term leadership.
This also surprised the BOG reporter.
Anyone who does not know the Pistons will think that this is Hill or Dumas team, the actual situation is the opposite, they all have their own role, and the person who leads them is Mo Mengchen.
Barkley gradually integrated into here.
However, there is a phenomenon that makes Collins uneasy.
The tough guys headed by Barkley seemed to value Mo Menchen's opinions more than obeying him.
Barkley, Mahon, Wallace, Jerome Williams, these four formed the same camp, especially Wallace, after the ghost knew he had made that almost scrapped action on Barkley, Why can they become such good friends.
These four people have the same characteristic of playing hard, always issuing the strongest confrontation, and provoking the opponent while playing.
Barkley's rubbish, Mahon's iron elbows, Wallace's defense and Williams' consistently high-energy performance plus unforgettable barking.
This group is quite unique within the Pistons.
It is not easy to lead these four people, because of their arrogance, Collins encountered this problem.
When he wants them to do something in the game, they will not promise in the first place.
Buckley's eyes will be put on Mo Mengchen, he hopes to hear the latter's opinion.
For the head coach, this is unbearable.
"The coach's instructions, you just do it." Mo Mengchen said so every time.
Collins could see that Mo Mengchen was also helpless, and the Buckleys seemed to want to push him to an awkward position.
This is why Collins talked to Mo Mengchen today.
Mo Mengchen was selected into the team himself. He took a fancy to Mo Mengchen when he was in the doldrums, and tried his best to take him down with the highest order of the year.
He believed that Mo Mengchen would not disobey him.
Maybe not.
"Mo, sit down," Collins said.
Mo Mengchen sat down naturally and looked at the layout in the room. Some were too plain, just a stack of information, notebooks, pens and telephones, nothing else.
"Coach, is there something?" Mo Mengchen asked.
Collins laughed: "How do you think the training camp has been going on so far?"
"not bad."
Mo Mengchen didn't know Collins's idea, he could only answer slowly like a frog in warm water until he stated his intention.
"Not bad? You turned the training camp into a battlefield, and each of them is desperately, which is very dangerous."
Collins's words sounded like criticism, but the smile on his face reflected his opinion: he didn't dislike it.
Mo Mengchen said: "If harmonious training can help us win, I also hope that our atmosphere can be more harmonious."
"It's just that history has proved that the champion's teacher is even different from the training." Mo Mengchen said, "Michael Jordan calls this the crash course of the champion."
Jordan?
Collins was almost caught in. He called Mo Mengchen not to discuss the atmosphere of the training camp with him. It didn't matter. He even supported this fierce competition.
"Mo, the team has a lot of newcomers this year. My job is very heavy."
"You work hard."
It doesn't matter to me anyway.
"No, it's you who really worked hard." Collins smiled. "With a player like you, every coach will feel relaxed because you will help them lead the team."
Here, as it is, this guy has a smaller mind than Barkley.
"Coach, I just did what I should do. The person who leads the team is you." Mo Mengchen refuted Collins. "From bottom to top, each of us knows who the team leader is."
Collins is still laughing, he now laughs more fun than a few seconds ago: "Really?"
"It's true."
Since you have the nonsense to talk to me, then you have time to draw others into the corner and talk, that is the way to get around them, not to try me in this yin and yang.
"Mo, I need your help."
Collins said: "You know Matt is ready to launch a triangle offense in the team?"
"Slightly heard."
The ears are almost cocooning.
Collins said straight: "I played this tactic in the Bulls, I don't like it."
Then you were fired.
"We are also not suitable for this tactic."
You don't know if your shoes fit properly.
Mo Mengchen underestimated the situation of Collins. It seems that Jones's offensive is fierce. Collins can't stand it anymore. He needs the support of the players.
Doesn't anyone from the teaching assistant team help him speak?
Collins finally said: "I heard you have a lot of research on tactics, what do you think?"
Here comes, shall I stand in line?
"Coach, we won 48 games last season and played five games with the Eastern Conference runner-up in the playoffs, which can completely correct your tactics." Mo Mengchen said.
Collins' eyes brightened: "So, do you think triangle offense is not suitable for us?"
Sorry, Doug, I won't stand in line.
Collins carried Mo Mengchen in one hand, he was very grateful for it, but on this issue, he must not make an irrational choice in order to repay Collins.
Collins was a loser, always.
Mo Mengchen reminded himself repeatedly, and then said: "No, I don’t see it that way. The clothes don’t fit properly, and they are not suitable for us. We have to know after we put them on. Similarly, whether the triangle offense is suitable for us, we have to try it. I just knew that we currently only know that the existing system is suitable for us, because we used it to enter the playoffs."
The disappointment on Collins' face was clear.
Mo Mengchen was not biased, he stood in the middle.
"Well, it seems that this matter needs to be considered long." Collins said, "You go to train."
His tone was much colder.
It seems that I let him down.
Mo Mengchen turned and walked out of the office.
The coaching staff is even more divided than expected, and Jones does not seem to be a single player. He certainly has other supporters.
If this were not the case, Collins would not be so flustered.
The player’s opinion should be placed at the end. He wants to solicit me so urgently for one reason: there are more assistants supporting Jones than him.
"Is it sprayed? Let you ruin the world on the training ground all day long, someone should have cleaned you up!"
Houston was blowing wind in Mo Mengchen's ear.
"If you have nothing to do, you can hit the wall and die, just don't make noise around me." Mo Mengchen said.
Houston said facelessly: "I want it!"
During the training camp, the team had a lot of activities, and Mo Mengchen was also very busy.
The frequency of going to the hospital has been reduced. At first it was once a day, but later it became three days.
The fewer visits to the hospital, the slower the growth of attribute scores.
In the one-and-a-half month preseason training camp, Mo Mengchen only performed 30 operations.
These surgeries eventually brought him to 32,000 accumulated attribute points, and he had the opportunity to improve again before the start of the season.
Think about this time last year, his total evaluation was less than 60, just a year of kung fu from 52 to 66, and then entered the offseason, so far only increased by 4 points total evaluation.
The higher the overall evaluation, the more difficult it is to improve, and Mo Mengchen has a more intuitive understanding of this, because he is currently progressing slowly, whether it is training or attribute points.
There is a strong competitive atmosphere in the team, and there are many problems.
The starting ball problem.
How Hill and Buckley neutralized the ball.
Can Barkley make sacrifices for the team, to what extent has Hill's three-pointer developed, and what growth has Houston made...
Mo Mengchen never considered himself, because he now only has a total rating of 70.
It's cruel to say that, but he is indeed not a player who can decide the game.
There are also starting lineups.
Collins now insists on Thorpe and Buckley starting together, so that Ratliff can only wait for opportunities in the second team.
Needless to say Wallace, this season is destined for no early days.
Media day
Unlike previous years, there have been a lot of media this year, and the Pistons have not held such a huge media day in a long time.
The outside world is full of expectations for this new Pistons team.
Last season, their lineup was deformed, and the result was still playing five games with the Magic. Nowadays, the short board is fully reinforced and has a rare lineup depth in the history of the team. The expectations of the outside world are not high.
"Mo, behave a bit more fiercely."
The cameraman wants to take an imposing photo~EbookFREE.me~Houston is a genius, he said at this time a piece that was talked about by others: "Why does it take time to wait? When we are training Trip, pay attention to the doctor’s expression, and you will know what the most vicious person in the world looks like."
This story later became as popular as the joke made by the magician when the Dream Team took a makeup photo.
Mo Mengchen rolled his eyes on the spot, and the reporter took a classic photo in time.
Media Day is the pre-season training camp, and it is the easiest day in a boring month.
There is no competition for life and death, no rubbish, no training, no reprimand from Mo Mengchen, only laughter and screaming.
Everyone enjoys the day, except Mo Mengchen and Collins.
One of them is worried about the new season, the other is worried about the differences of the coaching staff.
