What does Uncle Mu mean by shaking his fingers?
"Want to score in front of me? No! " Mutombo can shake his erect index finger left and right in front of his lips again, which is a must-have program for "Africa Mountain" after covering his opponent's lens. Mutombo, the backup center of the Rockets and the best defender in the past, waved his finger at the helpless defender after scoring and made his signature move. This uncle who has been in NBA 15 years still has a place in the Rockets. On Beijing time 165438+ 10 18, Pierce, an expert from Rocket official website, wrote, Mutombo's work-do you remember the first time Mutombo shook his fingers at those helpless defenders? I don't think he even knows when it is. Is it in Denver or Atlanta? "I have to review my previous videos to find out when I started shaking my fingers," Mutombo obviously showed great interest in this question. "My last season in the Nuggets was at 1995-96, or my first season in the Hawks, which was 1996-97. At that time, my name was Dashan. Mu Dashu has been wandering in the league for nearly 15 years, and he is still a firm substitute for Yao Ming in the Rockets. Beijing time1October 23rd 165438+ When the Rockets play Wizards at home, the first 5000 fans with tickets will get Mutombo's rocking doll. The reason why it is a rocking doll is that, unlike other rocket dolls, this new doll does not shake its head, but shakes its fingers. Mu Dashu, who has been the best defender of the year in the NBA for four times, has not announced his retirement after the end of this season. The veteran who tirelessly builds hot pot in the NBA has no intention of quitting. " "I think waving fingers is my patent, my trademark and my legacy in the game," Mutombo said. I often see some children shouting' I am Mutombo' while playing, and then shaking their fingers. It's really interesting. I hope people will always remember me as a great shot blocking expert. "Mutombo's current role in the Rockets is not only as a substitute for Yao Ming, but also to teach Yao Ming his unique blocking skills. In the league's blocked shot list, Uncle Mutombo ranked third after Olajuwon and Jabbar. Under his guidance, Yao Ming has also made great progress in defense and blocking, averaging 1.8 blocks per game in the new season. " "I like watching him make that gesture," said Rockets guard Snyder, admiring Uncle Mu's finger-shaking. He is still a great blocking expert, and he still does the same thing day after day on the court, which is very commendable. "Mutombo still remembers the most blocked shot in a game." That's the Nets. I covered 1 1 blocks in a game. All the fans were shaking their fingers at me. The scene is spectacular. From then on, I stopped waving to the players and waved my fingers to the fans. "Another interesting thing happened in the playoffs of 1997, when Mutombo claimed in the league that Jordan could not dunk on his head, but after Jordan dunked in front of him in a game, he shook his finger at Mutombo as if to say," I am the best dunker. For his future destiny, Mutombo thinks it will be a very good choice to stay in the Rockets coaching staff. Regarding when to retire, Mu Dashu said that although there is this idea now, there is no specific time yet, and it is necessary to wait until February next year, when children and family will be the main factors for me to consider. Now, Mutombo ranks third among NBA players with 3 159 blocked shots. As long as it covers 365,438+0, he will surpass Jabbar and rank second, second only to "Dream" Olajuwon, with a career record of 3,830.
