NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 19: A soldier never tires of deceit
Off the court, agent Falk and trainer Tim discussed Meng Jin's performance.

"The training effect is very good. His jump is obviously lighter than before," praised Falk.

Meng Jin was also able to dunk from the free throw line before training, but it was not so light and easy. The feeling of jumping was visible to the naked eye.

Tim Grover deadpanned, "He's just starting the first phase of training, that's all. I can help him get better."

Falk nodded without saying anything. Tim Grover seemed very confident in his training plan.

Meng Jin's popularity continued into the second day's main competition, where he led the team to victory with a big double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds.

On the third day, Meng Jin faced the biggest challenge of the All-Star Game in Hawaii. The team he faced was led by Reggie Miller and Pippen.

In addition to the two, the team also has Chris Wilp and Greg Anderson, two big men who are predicted to be selected in the first round.

At the beginning of the game, Meng Jin's center Martin Nesley was blocked by Chris Wilp.

Although he is 218cm tall, Martin Nesli's movements are very impressive. The opponent took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, creating a 5-on-4 situation in the frontcourt.

Pippen cuts to the basket with the ball.

Under normal circumstances, Pippen would definitely dunk this ball.

But when he saw Meng Jin rushing towards him, he was frightened.

Pippen twisted in the air, trying to avoid Meng Jin's layup.

But that’s how it is on the basketball court. The more you avoid your opponent, the less likely you are to score.

Pippen's ball went straight over the bridge and fell into the hands of Meng Jin's teammate.

Meng Jin sprinted forward, reaching for the ball while running.

After receiving the ball from his teammate, Meng Jin started a long-distance run.

A funny scene occurred on the field. Martin Nessli just ran to the half court and then had to turn back.

Meng Jin seemed to ignore this teammate, he just focused on accelerating and left him behind with a single step on the accelerator.

Meng Jin's advance once again surprised the scouts on the scene. At this time, the scouts all had the same thought in their minds: this guy is a complete monster. He is twice as fast as people of the same height!
Pippen was left behind by Meng Jin, and Reggie Miller ran back along the center line. He had experienced Meng Jin's bounce yesterday, so he had no illusions about blocking Meng Jin's dunk. Reggie Miller just wanted to stand under the basket when Meng Jin attacked the basket to see if he could commit an offensive foul on him.

But soon, Reggie Miller found that this idea was also a fantasy.

Outside the three-point line, Meng Jin took the ball directly.

Although some of the scouts had seen Meng Jin do this many times before, they were still shocked.

Meng Jin took a big step and glided, stretching his long arms. He drew a beautiful arc in the air and then pressed the basketball into the basket!
Tim Grover applauded and said: "This is his killer move, the fast break. I don't think anyone can defend him even in the NBA."

Another trainer, Greg Sam, nodded in agreement: "To stop him, you have to foul him before he gets going."

Falk took a long time to say one sentence: "When I watched Michael Jordan play, I always felt that some of his technical moves could be learned by ordinary people. But I couldn't learn anything from watching Meng play, not at all."

After Falk finished speaking, the two trainers around him laughed. Grabbing the ball from the three-point line and dunking, what is there for ordinary people to learn?
As far as basketball of this era is concerned, Meng Jin is definitely a supermodel!
Meng Jin's dunk aroused Pippen's fighting spirit.

Although Pippen was a little afraid of Meng Jin's talent, he didn't want to be suppressed by him all the time.

All players are competitive, even the honest Pippen is no exception.

In the next round, Pippen actively positioned himself and asked for the ball. After getting the ball, he first feinted and then passed the ball to his teammates to complete the organization.

Pippen was very active in this round, he wanted to attract the attention of scouts.

Pippen wanted to turn the game into a stage for him and Meng Jin.

But life often goes against one's will, and another teammate soon stole his limelight.

Reggie Miller took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Meng Jin pounced on him from the side.

"Snapped!"

Reggie Miller was blocked.

His peripheral vision actually caught sight of someone on the side, but Miller's intuition told him that he couldn't block the ball because there was clearly some distance between them.

Reggie Miller's judgment was correct. If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to block it, but the person who came was Meng Jin.

"Reggie Miller, a super three-point shooter, I won't let you shoot from beyond the three-point line easily." Meng Jin floated past Reggie Miller and threw down a sentence.

Miller glanced at the weirdo and said nothing.

After the restart, Miller cut to the basket with the help of a screen and scored two points with a layup.

Duane Washington controlled the ball across half court. He is considered Meng Jin's most powerful teammate. He scored 13 points and 5 assists in the last game and is predicted to be selected in the second round.

Duane Washington dribbled to the top of the arc, and Meng Jin came up and handed over the ball.

Big center Martin Nesley was mentioned to the high position.

The quality of Martin Nesly's screen was average, but Meng Jin didn't expect him to block Pippen. He let him come up mainly to clear the inside.

After the pick-and-roll, Meng Jin relied on Pippen to accelerate and took a big jump step into the penalty area.

Pippen didn't lose his position, but this is the most speechless. He didn't make any mistakes but still couldn't stop others from entering. Meng Jin is better than him in terms of speed, strength and jumping, and Meng Jin's temporary partner said goodbye to him yesterday afternoon, so he is in particularly good physical condition today, like a tiger coming down the mountain.

After entering the restricted area, Meng Jin directly pressed Pippen and made a layup.

Wait, the arc of this throw is not right?
The scouts present were shocked again.

Other people's casting arcs are all upwards, why is this guy's arc downwards?
Meng Jin said there was nothing he could do because he jumped too high and due to his static talent, his hands were above the basket.

There is no point in throwing the ball up in this situation. The purpose of throwing the ball up is to avoid the defender's offensive means. Now there is no one who can interfere with your shot, so it is more reasonable to throw it downwards.

"Bang!"

There were some minor flaws in Meng Jin's finishing, and the ball hit the rim and bounced out.

Pippen turned around immediately after landing, he wanted to grab the defensive rebound.

However, when turning around, Pippen forgot to block the opponent, and Meng Jin flexibly got in front of him and jumped twice to complete the dunk.

"Scottie! A UFO just flew over your head!"

Pippen could do nothing about Meng Jin's nonsense because he was speaking the truth.

Reggie Miller weaved through the crowd on the next possession.

The way he plays is similar to that of a long-distance runner, running at all costs just for a split-second shooting opportunity.

Meng Jin immediately went over and said, "Reggie, I'll let you shoot. You can only shoot three-pointers in front of me, just like when you were playing one-on-one with your sister."

Reggie Miller's sister Cheryl Miller is a super star of women's basketball. She has been bullying Reggie Miller since he was a child. It can be said that Reggie Miller's three-point shooting ability was forced out by his sister, because he couldn't even get into the three-point line under his sister's defense.

However, this story only spread after Reggie Miller became famous, so now he is very confused, how did this guy know about this?
Is he from the FBI?
Or him and his sister...

In any case, Reggie Miller's mentality was still disturbed to a certain extent.

"Bang!"

Missed three points.

Point guard Duane Washington dribbled across half court and attacked in a positional battle, and Meng Jin blocked the position to ask for the ball.

Pippen stretched out his left foot and stuck it next to Meng Jin.

Half way around?
Playing this with me?
Meng Jin smiled slightly, then turned around and ran back the next second.

The opportunity came all of a sudden.

However, Duane Washington did not pass the ball and shot directly from the top of the arc.

"Bang!"

Missed.

Duane Washington raised his hand to signal Meng Jin: "Sorry, I thought you were going to grab the rebound."

"fine."

Meng Jin patted his butt and ran back to defend.

Meng Jin knew that your bad tacit understanding was just a lie.

Everyone wants to have more chances to shoot and perform more in this kind of game.

Reggie Miller once again made wild runs in the offensive round.

I have to say that this kind of running position is indeed very effective. If Meng Jin hadn't specifically stared at him, he would have had two open opportunities to shoot three-pointers.

Meng Jin blocked Reggie Miller, and there was a brief vacuum under the basket, but Reggie Miller did not pass the ball, as he wanted to show himself more on the scoring end.

Meng Jin spoke again: "Come on, let me hear the sound of iron hammering."

Reggie Miller couldn't stand it anymore: "You damn barbarian, you only know how to dunk, you don't know what it means to play with your brain."

Meng Jin took a step back: "I'll let you shoot."

Reggie Miller raised his hand decisively.

He thought that his provocation had worked, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Meng Jin's trap.

The moment Miller made his move, Meng Jin pounced on him.

Miller's anus tightened and he was forced to raise the arc.

Although he wasn't blocked, he lost his usual shooting feeling.

"Bang!"

Strike the iron again.

Reggie Miller looked at Meng Jin with resentment, are you trying to be dirty, kid?

Meng Jin smiled slightly. All’s fair in war. This is basketball!
