uncle mu left, only 58 years old.

the oldest trees, the tallest mountains.

i now want to believe the rumors about his age when he was still playing, just to feel better.

of the three major centers in georgetown, ewing is the oldest and mourning is in the worst health (he had kidney problems), but uncle mu left first?

dikembe mutombo moplando mukamba jane jacqui wontobi was born in kinshasa, reportedly in 1966, although many people don't believe it. at that time his country was still called zaire. two hundred years ago, in the indian state of gujarat, there was a tiger with this name. zaire is now called congo, and the national emblem features a leopard head, ivory, spear, arrow and palm.

if there was someone in the world who could combine the elements of tigers, leopards, elephants, spears, arrows and palm leaves, they would have the ferocity of tigers, the speed of leopards, the thickness of elephants, the fighting spirit of spears and arrows, and the palm leaves. the tall one is uncle mu.

uncle mu is 218 centimeters tall. when viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side. the height varies from near to far. mourning, who is 208 centimeters tall, later said that when he saw mu dashan for the first time in georgetown, he thought: "that's so damn tall!"

some people have always said that uncle mu is old. 1996. the denver nuggets were scattered with injuries and were preparing to rebuild around the 1995 no. 2 pick mcdyess. that year, jordan signed a one-year contract of 30 million, and shark, juwan howard and mourning all received 100 million contracts. uncle mu took a five-year, 56 million contract to go to atlanta. some media in denver are making fun of him, saying that his official age is thirty years old, and god knows his age.

but that didn't stop him from winning the rebounding title with the hawks (he had several shot-blocking titles before), allowing the hawks to win 50 games in consecutive years. , the hawks also felt that he was a bit old, so they traded the 76ers for the shot-blocking leader ratliff.

the result is well known: he won his second rebounding title with the 76ers and assisted iverson in the 2001 finals.

his second spring, third spring, and fourth spring have never stopped. in 2007, when he was 40 years old, he could still collect 19 rebounds and 5 blocks in a single game. by the way, he invited the young bynum to have a hot pot, surpassing sky hook and getting the second-highest number of blocks in history at 3,190. he seemed unwilling to touch the block record held by the greatest player in rockets history. "leave that to my brother olajuwon. i won't be able to defeat him then, so leave it to the next generation to break."

that was 2007, and yao ming was out. although he was an old man, he was not only able to eat, but he could also eat the young man opposite him with his skin and flesh, and pick his teeth with a bone.

if a person occasionally gets stronger with old age, you say that is the second spring. but for him to be the second best every time he plays day and night, that's another matter. how many people are bustling and bustling, and the worldly glory has gone away, but uncle mu stands still in heishan without saying a word or smiling. every spring, the mountains are green and beautiful. you think he can't fly and once the dust has settled, he can immediately throw you into a sandstorm.

uncle mu is a good teammate.

reggie williams only became happy when he was with the nuggets, abdul rauf was in despair as soon as he left the nuggets, and stice was troubled by injuries as soon as he left mu dashan. as soon as he arrived with the hawks, laettner immediately played the only all-star game in his life, steve smith's scoring immediately hit a career high, and blaylock immediately won the only two steals in his career. he went to the 76ers, and iverson played the only finals in his life.

wherever you go, iron trees bloom, the poor suddenly become rich, the weak team and the black eight strong team revive, one person gets the tao, the chicken or the dog ascends to heaven, no matter zhang, li, si, cat or dog, all reach the peak of life in an instant, this is the lucky general.

before he came to the rockets in 2004-05, the rockets didn't know what 50 wins was for seven consecutive years. he came to the rockets as a substitute for five years. the rockets were plagued by injuries, but they continued to win 50 games in the regular season.

dameng has only won 50 games five times in his life with the rockets.

from the age of thirty to forty-two, uncle mu missed the playoffs twice in the past thirteen years.

uncle mu is one of the best defenders in basketball history.

he's from georgetown. that man who graduated from college has been hammered by lightning and axes. it is ruthless and precise when it comes to destruction, and it is solid and durable when it comes to confrontation. mutombo brought this to the nuggets in 1991. in 71 games in the first season, he had 210 blocks and 870 rebounds.

in 1994, the nuggets were eighth in the western conference and faced the supersonics. the sonics took the first two games 2-0. rain man dominates above the rim. at that time, nuggets veteran dan issel said this to the players: "we are participating in the playoffs this year to accumulate experience." the nuggets came back with a wild victory in the third game and narrowly defeated the fourth game in overtime. mutombo had 13 rebounds and 6 blocks in the third game, and 16 rebounds and 8 blocks in the fourth game.

he said this after the game: "i don't like to be rude. but this is the playoffs. you have to learn to take the initiative and make yourself more comfortable."

in the fifth bloody game, kendall gill's layup sent the sonics into overtime, and dashan dominated everything. 16 rebounds and 8 blocks, and finally won the game. he lay on the ground and raised the ball to the sky, laughing. black eight.

the supersonics that he failed to beat were the sonics that failed in 1993 and 1996. if it hadn't been for him, maybe the supersonics wouldn't have been so successful in winning the championship that year?

the follow-up that few people mention: after the nuggets defeated the supersonics in eight games, they had a bloody battle with the jazz in the semifinals - first falling behind 0-3, and then mutombo blocked 18 shots in three games to come back to win three games. they lost a game and were one step away from the western conference finals. if the nuggets are a little bit lucky and get past the postman and stockton, then the 1994 western conference finals will be:

peak dream vs shot-blocking king mutombo.

just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

of course, uncle mu is not a nice guy either.

crossing elbows, removing stools, touching the belly, pressing the lower back when the referee is not paying attention, and shaking hands at the opponent are all endless.

the ultimate product of the collection is his fan finger and contemptuous eyes after blocking the shot. although he shook his head once after being dunked tit for tat by jordan in 1997, he still carries these two tricks as his trademarks and walks around the world. it's part of his defense and he knows all the secrets of it. the secret of his senior brother ewing is to push the opponent to the sideline with a violent foul when he is getting aggressive, so-called "let him wake up." uncle mu's fan finger has more functions: making people fear, fear, irritate, shame, hate, and anger. make it impossible for the person opposite to be in a calm state. he waved his finger and said no to the greatest figures of that era - and among the greatest figures in basketball history - without fear: dream, robinson, shark, ewing, mourning, postman, barkley, rain man…and jordan.

in the 2001 and 2003 finals, shark's second ring and duncan's second ring both had to step on uncle mu.

in cantonese translation in the old age, jordan is called jordan, kukoc is called gu gao, and uncle mu was once called mo tangbao. at first glance, he thought it was something like laohuo tangbao. of course, he is the spokesperson for hot pot.

hot pot is about excitement, boiling over high heat, and thick soup. thousands of sentient beings can be put in and rinsed. picky eaters will always think that the taste of hot cakes is not exquisite. but hot pot is the toughest, thickest and most heroic food. you have a broad mind and can cook anything. you can sit around the stove and eat with great joy.

chinese fans' deepest sense of identification with him should come from his years playing for the rockets.

many players said that wherever mu hotpot goes, there will be laughter, loudness and a hot atmosphere. georgetown is rich in tough guys, and he is more heroic than ewing and mourning. until the spring of 2009, even if he didn't play many games, he was the best cheerleader on the rockets bench. he is the most suitable image for a great man in the world of martial arts. everything about him is big, including his boat-like shoes. how could a man whose smile changes his face and shakes the earth when he roars like this, could be in a bad locker room?

until the 2008-09 season, he fought to the end for the rockets and ended with an injury.

he (and junior brother mourning) fought until the end and fell on the battlefield. he came off the field in the portland rose garden to a standing ovation from the visiting team.

he said in january 2007, "sixteen years ago when i came into this league, i told myself, i have to be remembered for one thing. and that was one of the greatest defensive players to ever play the game. one."

he did it.

in december 2006, yao ming was injured. alston was worried at the time. "we lost a big guy, a big guy who has been carrying the team forward for the past two seasons and is now on pace for mvp. this hurts so much."

then uncle mu stood up.

two days after christmas 2016, the rockets faced off against a net that had lost center kristic. mutombo started and had 10 rebounds in 19 minutes. nets insiders moore, collins, and bonner only had 8 points and 11 rebounds in total. the rockets beat 96-71 by 25 points.

two days later, the hawks came to attack. last season's ncaa super rebounder "landlord" sheldon williams grabbed 11 rebounds in 30 minutes, but the rockets blasted a 29-14 super climax in the third quarter. tombo grabbed 11 rebounds in the third quarter and 14 in 21 minutes, allowing the rockets to enter the fourth quarter with a 75-46 lead and easily solve it.

on the last day of 2006, the rockets played against the grizzlies. mutombo had 11 rebounds in 22 minutes, including 7 offensive rebounds, while the grizzlies had only 10 offensive rebounds. the rockets defeated the grizzlies and entered 2007 with victory.

on january 3, 2007, the rockets faced the supersonics. mutombo grabbed 12 rebounds in 28 minutes among the young rebounding heroes wilcox, collison and petro, and the team won 4 consecutive games. after the game, he finally spoke. "we don't know exactly when yao ming will come back. so you can't hold anything back. jeff (van gundy) is asking each of us to play to the best of our abilities... when i need to rebound, i always have a lot to spare. energy. now, i will do everything i can to help the team win.”

after that, he battled with the jazz's young forwards (boozer, okur) for 35 minutes, grabbing 8 offensive rebounds - 9 for the jazz team - and a season-high 19 rebounds. the rockets won 5 consecutive games. "i told them," mutombo said, "don't expect everything to go well tonight. they beat us really hard in salt lake city, so we have to find something to repay them."

on january 12, 2007, nba officials allowed him to wave his finger. "as long as it's not directed at the opposing player, no technical foul will be awarded." after breaking kareem abdul-jabbar's record,

during the rockets' 22-game winning streak in 2008, yao ming was injured midway. after that, uncle mu scored 4 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks against the wizards, 4 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks against the grizzlies, and 2 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks against the nuggets. completed 22 consecutive victories in one breath. even after the 22-game streak ended, he met young tyson chandler in new orleans. he had 10 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. in the playoffs that year, the rockets lost to the jazz in six games, but he had 39 rebounds and 11 blocks in 123 minutes.

even in his last game before retiring, as the rockets' substitute center, he witnessed yao ming score 24 points on all 9 shots and defeat the rose garden. he also had 9 rebounds and 2 blocks in 18 minutes.

at his official age of 42.

opposite trail blazers substitute center? auden.

in the next round of the series after uncle mu retired, yao ming's career came to an end, and oden ended his last healthy season. in one round of the series, the different fates of the three mountains are really disappointing.

for such a good man, i always feel that he will do a lot.

in 1987, he went to qiao da university and wanted to be a doctor. within a year he learned english. by the time he graduated, he could speak english, french, portuguese, spanish, and five african tribal dialects. has double majors in linguistics and diplomacy.

his respectable mother died young of heart disease. in nine years, he raised $29 million—15 million of which was his own—to build kinshasa's first new hospital in forty years. he is one of the most public-spirited figures in the history of professional sports.

his philanthropy, his hospital, his tv station, his image representation for the congolese people, his call for poverty equality, his welfare for international players and so on.

i always think that he will end his basketball career at the age of 42 and stop wagging his fingers in fighting and blocking shots. he should have more roles in life to complete, right? after becoming an old man on the basketball court, we should continue to joke about cutting down trees and living longer in life, right?

anyone who has lived through that era knows this story: every time i asked uncle mu his age, he would say that every time the children there grew one year old, they went to the mountains to cut down a tree. how much was cut? have no idea. the tree has long been cut down.

i want to believe this story now. maybe he is already 60, 70 or even 80 years old.

it has to make people miss you a little, right? fans who have experienced those years, especially rockets fans, must understand that when injuries continued, there was a man who was bold, hard-working, tall, strong, and calm, who fought through rain, carried sharks, chased dream, blocked duncan, elbowed ewing, and pushed mourning. the old man who was wagging his finger with jordan, "he is stable when he comes out", how rare it is.

in a world where accidents are frequent, when there is no way to retreat, everyone has hoped that there will be a reliable guard behind you who will stand upright and pat you on the back, saying, "don't panic, i'm here."

the oldest trees, the tallest mountains.
