NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 23 A world where only one person is hurt?
"Scottie, Scottie!"

Meng Jin called Pippen twice before he came to his senses.

Pippen is a little nervous now, and all his attention is on Jordan.

Pippen: "What is it, Meng?"

Meng Jin whispered in his ear: "I will definitely give him a fucking slap when I get a chance later."

"Who to dunk on?" Pippen was still a little confused.

"Who do you want to detain? That arrogant guy!" Meng Jin raised his voice.

Pippen: "Oh, shit! That's Michael Jordan."

Meng Jin: "The one who dunked was Michael Jordan!"

Meng Jin patted Pippen who looked timid and said, "He is just an ordinary person like us, with two arms and two legs. If we find the right opportunity, we can dunk on him. Even if he is not selected by the Bulls, we can still brag about it when we go back home."

Pippen's eyes lit up, what he said made sense!
Meng Jin's two sentences made him excited. Before going on the court, he kept repeating to himself: "I must dunk on Jordan. I must dunk on him!"

I don’t know if it was the power of suggestion, but Pippen got a chance in the third round after the opening!
Jordan lobbed the ball to Hopes Grant in the paint, but Meng Jin jumped high from behind him and slapped the pass away.

The red team that Meng Jin was in launched a counterattack on the spot.

Kenny Smith pushed the ball to the center circle, looked around, and passed it to Meng Jin.

Although Pippen rushed forward, Jordan was right beside him, and Kenny Smith knew how powerful this old North Carolina senior was.

Jordan's previous nickname was Black Cat. He was as agile as a cat and could easily steal the ball if you weren't paying attention.

Meng Jin took the ball and pushed forward. Standing in front of him was a trainer who was only 178cm tall.

Because it was a small joint tryout, the white team that Jordan was in was short of manpower, so Jordan grabbed a trainer to make up the number.

Meng Jin pressed his center of gravity and directly carried the trainer away.

It is too difficult for an ordinary person with a small body of 178cm to fight against Meng Jin.

The trainer took two steps back and did not chase after him.

Why would you work so hard for just that fixed salary every month?

Meng Jin continued to advance and Jordan moved closer to him.

One step inside the three-point line, Meng Jin gently threw the ball.

Jordan looked back and saw Pippen had already taken off.

"Bang!"

Pippen dunked with both hands, so domineering!
"You dunked a big one on Michael Jordan! Scotty!"

Meng Jin rushed over and bumped chests with Pippen to celebrate.

"Yes! I did it!" Pippen was also excited.

Jordan looked at the two people celebrating, speechless. Pippen's dunk was at least three and a half body lengths away from him. Is this also called a dunk?

Jordan turned around and vented his anger on Grant: "You piece of shit! If you can't catch the ball, don't go inside to get a position!"

Jordan is indeed the first generation of pressure monster. He will criticize anyone he is unhappy with, even his temporary teammates.

Grant was already a little timid as it was his first time playing against Jordan, and he was even more confused after being scolded like that. In the next round, he bumped into his teammates while running.

Jordan's anger was not so easily eliminated. In the next round, he got the ball and backed up Pippen, then took a super fadeaway shot.

"Shh!"

Pippen just watched Jordan complete the flying goose feeding in front of him, unable to do anything.

In the next two rounds, Jordan continued to single out Pippen.

A slam dunk from the left after a triple threat, and a sudden stop after dribbling with the right hand.

Jordan hit Pippen three times in a row, almost swollen his face.

Meng Jin felt that he had let Pippen down.

Pippen also felt a little regretful. He realized now that he shouldn't have provoked Jordan. This guy was too petty. He would take revenge when he had a grudge, and he would do it on the spot.

The worst thing is that this guy has the ability to do whatever he wants on the offensive end.

After teaching Pippen a lesson, Jordan turned his target to Meng Jin.

The Red Team was in a positional battle. After setting a screen, Meng Jin took the ball and played against Jordan in a mismatched position.

After Meng Jin scored the goal, he took a big step with his right foot and then changed direction drastically.

Meng Jin wanted to use the information gap to attack Jordan, but he didn't expect that Jordan was very familiar with his playing style. Meng Jin impressed Jordan in the NCAA finals, and Falk also mentioned Meng Jin to Jordan several times.

"Snapped!"

Jordan pressed his center of gravity and the Black Tiger made a steal.

Meng Jin has good ball-handling skills, but this is only for a college player and is not good enough compared to Jordan.

In order to keep up with the speed of the ball, Meng Jin did not lower his center of gravity completely before pushing the ball and changing direction.

It was very dangerous to do this kind of high dribble change of direction in front of Jordan.

Jordan's speed was not only reflected in the moment he stole the ball. As soon as Meng Jin turned around, Jordan had already rushed to the center circle.

Jordan's physical condition during this period was very strong, and he gave his all whether it was a regular game or a training match, whether facing NBA players or college players.

"Bang!"

The basket rim wailed as Jordan blew it up.

After landing, Jordan trotted over to Meng Jin and said, "Is that all you can do? Go home and drink your milk!"

Meng Jin was confused. First of all, I didn’t mess with this boiled egg.

Second, I still didn’t provoke this boiled egg.

Meng Jin felt that the only possible explanation was that Jordan was too aggressive and would trash-talk a dog even if it passed by on the basketball court. But that was not the case. Jordan's presence here was not accidental. He came here to observe Meng Jin and to help the two juniors from North Carolina.

The Bulls have the 8th and 10th picks in the first round this year, and Jordan's idea is to sign at least two of the three.

Red team's attack turn.

Meng Jinka reached for the ball in the low post, and Pippen ran around the baseline to create space.

Both of them had chances, but Kenny Smith didn't pass the ball.

Kenny Smith and Joe Wolfe set a pick-and-roll.

Both of them are from the prestigious North Carolina school and have a sense of superiority. Moreover, they are both lottery favorites, so it is normal for them to look down on Meng Jin and Pippen.

Meng Jin has gotten used to it. He has been discriminated against since the Portsmouth Invitational, and sometimes even encountered racial discrimination. It is normal to be subjected to racial discrimination in America in this era.

Fortunately, Meng Jin is not a fragile person. He can always convince his teammates and opponents with his performance on the court.

After the pick-and-roll, Kenny Smith passed the ball to Wolf, who hit the rebound at the basket.

A very standard academic combination.

After scoring, Jordan rolled his eyes at Grant again, his eyes full of disgust.

White team attacks.

Jordan held the ball on the outside, set a screen and then switched to defend Meng Jin.

Jordan pressed in sideways, looking like he was going to post up.

The moment Meng Jin pushed forward, Jordan turned around quickly, with perfect timing.

Meng Jin's turning speed is not slow either. Although he is one body length behind Jordan, he has the advantage of static talent.

If Jordan dared to make a layup or dunk in front of him, Meng Jin felt that he could block it.

The two men jumped at the same time, and Jordan suddenly did a drifting pull-up in the air as if he had the ability to predict the future, and shot the ball into the basket from the other side of the basket.

Meng Jin was a big name in the training camp before, but in these two rounds he realized the gap between him and the top players, and Jordan beat him into a fool.

After Jordan scored, he spoke again: "Were you guarding me just now? I didn't see you."

Meng Jin also has a bad temper. He ran to the frontcourt to ask for the ball with anger.

Kenny Smith still didn't pass the ball. After the pick-and-roll, he chose to take a jump shot at the top of the arc.

"Bang!"

There was a sound of iron.

Just as Meng Jin was about to return to defense, Pippen rushed out from the baseline and grabbed the rebound!
The moment he landed, Pippen immediately passed the ball to Meng Jin on the outside.

Meng Jin was almost moved to tears. Brothers are always reliable.

Pippen cursed in his heart the moment he passed the ball. He originally wanted to land, turn around and jump shot to look cool.

As a result, he didn't control his center of gravity well when landing and almost fell out of bounds.

Fortunately, I saw Meng Jin before I fell.

After Meng Jin got the ball, he made a fake move, then bent down and dived forward!
The defensive player failed to keep up, and Jordan came over to defend immediately.

Although Meng Jin has lowered his center of gravity very low, Jordan is even lower!
Seeing that Jordan was about to steal the ball again, Meng Jin suddenly collected the ball and turned around.

This ball catching method is very extreme, it is not done by clamping, but by grabbing.

Thanks to these big hands, if it was 0.5 seconds slower, the ball would have been cut off by Jordan.

The moment Jordan turned around, his eyes were full of shock.

What shocked him was not Meng Jin's extraordinary ability, but how this kid's steps could be so big?
He was in a high position just now, but he turned around and stepped directly into the paint area?
Jordan had seen the world, but he was still surprised. This physical gap could not be made up by defensive skills.

Grant rushed out from the inside, failed to brake, and crashed directly into Meng Jin.

Meng Jin kept his balance in the air and made a layup with his right hand!
During this period, Tim has been asking Meng Jin to train his core by using a solid ball while doing sit-ups, and now the effect is evident.

Even though he was fouled in the air, Meng Jin was still able to find balance and score the goal.

After scoring, Meng Jin chose revenge immediately.

"Michael, I'm sorry, I might have drifted too fast into the turn just now. If you didn't see it clearly, I can demonstrate it again next time."

Jordan was so angry about this trash talk that he immediately raised his head and said, "Who do you think you are talking to, kid?"

"Michael Jordan, the man who can only see my taillights."

The two men were arguing with each other, and Krause was watching with great interest. Head coach Collins also found it interesting.

Whether it is a formal competition or a training match, there must be some excitement to make it more interesting.

After spraying, Meng Jin stood on the free throw line.

When it came time to take free throws, Jordan turned his attention to Grant again.

That’s right, anger doesn’t go away, it just moves.

"You country bumpkin, if you can't f*cking defend yourself, get out of here!"

At this time, Grant huddled in the corner, shivering.

helpless.

at a loss.

Overwhelmed.

My opponent bullied me.

My teammates scolded me.

Is this the world where I'm the only one hurt?
