NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 34 Honorary Citizen of Los Angeles

The next day, noon.

Meng Jin woke up from the big bed.

I found a person lying next to me.

When Meng Jin saw Reggie Miller's face, he was furious.

According to the original plan, the one lying next to me at this time was the hot blonde or the hot red-haired girl.

Maybe both together.

Anyway, it definitely won’t be this bald guy.

Meng Jin originally wanted to try out the new skill [Ten Sprays in One Second].

Now it's all in vain.

Meng Jin became angrier and angrier, so he punched Reggie Miller on the arm.

"OH! GOD! I'm being attacked!"

Reggie Miller suddenly woke up from his dream and jumped up.

Seeing Meng Jin's face, Reggie Miller calmed down: "Meng?"

Reggie Miller looked around: "Where is this?"

I first asked questions, then covered my head and tried to recall, but in the end I couldn't remember anything.

Reggie Miller performed the three-step walk of a drunk person in front of Meng Jin.

"Reggie, if I knew you couldn't drink so badly, I would never help you with special training."

Reggie Miller tortured Meng Jin to death last night.

The two ran for two blocks to avoid the police.

Then Miller fell.

Meng Jin was a little panicked at first. He thought Reggie Miller was dead until he started snoring.
Meng Jin dragged Reggie Miller for two or three hundred meters before finding a hotel.

Hearing this, Reggie Miller began to recover some of his memories.

"Damn, why would I get into a fight with someone in a bar?" Miller looked extremely regretful.

"To be precise, he's a pervert, a black man with a bald head wearing a tight skirt."

"Stop talking." Reggie Miller retched. Every word Meng Jin said pierced his heart.

"I thought you two were in love, brother."

Reggie Miller shook his head and said nothing.

He closed his eyes and confessed.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes again with a look of annoyance: "Meng, I'm dead. It will be all over the news tomorrow. Indiana fans will kill me. My career may end early."

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Reggie Miller shuddered, now his nerves were on edge.

Meng Jin looked through the peephole and said, "Relax, Reggie, relax. My agent is here."

"Your agent? How did he know I was here?" Reggie Miller asked puzzled.

"I called him last night and asked him to help us settle this matter." Meng Jin said as he opened the door.

"Meng, you'd better have something urgent to do. In order to catch the earliest flight, I didn't even have breakfast."

After Falk came in, he glanced at Reggie Miller, then at Meng Jin: "Change your taste?"

Meng Jin: "Reggie Miller, the rookie selected by the Pacers this year, my brother."

"Oh~ I remember him. I saw him at the All-Star Game in Hawaii. He's a promising rookie."

After saying this, Falk gave Reggie Miller a thumbs up.

"So what's the urgent matter you were talking about on the phone?" Falk asked.

Meng Jin made it short: "We had a conflict with someone in the bar last night."

Falk's expression suddenly became serious: "Don't say that you two killed someone."

Meng Jin: "No, Reggie got involved with a transvestite in the bar, and then they got into a fight on the dance floor. They rode around on the dance floor, and I knocked the man down with one punch. That's it."

Falk laughed and said, "It sounds like you ruined Reggie's plan."

"Shut up! Meng, first of all, I'm not involved with him, and secondly, we're not riding around."

Reggie Miller said he also wants to save face!
If you describe me like that, people who don’t know me would think I’m gay!
Falk thought for a while: "I roughly understand what it is. Tell me which bar. I will find out what the transvestite is doing now. If the media hasn't broken the news yet, I will try to suppress it. If the news has already come out, let me handle the public relations. I will take care of everything. What you have to do now is to stay here and don't show up." Meng Jin nodded. This agent was a reliable choice.

"Ding dong!"

At this time the doorbell rang again.

Falk glanced at the peephole, then turned and said, "Guys, there's a change of plan. The police are here."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Open the door! Los Angeles police!"

The police went from politely ringing the doorbell to rudely knocking on the door.

Falk deliberately delayed opening the door. He was teaching Meng Jin what to do next.

Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: no matter what the police ask you, just shut up and keep silent.

Let's wait until the lawyer arrives.

Ten seconds later, Meng Jin opened the door.

Two police officers, a man and a woman, walked into the room.

The fat black police officer in the lead asked, "Sir, why did you open the door so late?"

Meng Jin: "Falling asleep."

"Three people together?" asked the female police officer.

"Does it violate California law?" Meng Jin asked back.

"No." The female police officer said and looked at Meng Jin: "Are you Meng?"

Meng Jin nodded.

"Did you go to the Rainbow last night?"

Meng Jin didn't say anything or express any opinion. He remembered Falk's words very clearly.

"Did you knock this man unconscious?" Another police officer took out the photo of the cross-dressing man.

Meng Jin still didn't speak.

"Meng Jin, the No. 1987 pick in the NBA in 5, someone witnessed you knocking out the person in the photo at the Rainbow Bar last night, and there was more than one witness."

Meng Jin appeared to be as calm as an old dog on the surface, but he was cursing madly in his heart.

Damn, there are bad people among the American people!
"OK, come back to the police station with us."

Hearing this, Meng Jin finally spoke: "I will notify my lawyer."

The two police officers looked at each other in surprise.

Then the female police officer spoke first: "Notify the lawyer? Why do I need to notify the lawyer when I receive the Honorary Citizen Award?"

This time it was Meng Jin and his three companions' turn to look at each other in bewilderment.

After the fat black police officer explained, Meng Jin and his three companions finally understood that after Meng Jin KO'd the cross-dressing guy last night, the police quickly arrived at the scene and unexpectedly discovered that the guy was a wanted criminal.

God damn honorary citizen!

Can you become an honorary citizen for fighting in a bar?
Meng Jin did not expect this reversal.

Reggie Miller also had a black question mark on his face throughout the game.

What the hell?

Is this even possible?

Just as the two police officers and Meng Jin were about to leave the room, Reggie Miller quickly stopped them: "Um, officer!"

"what's up?"

"I also participated in subduing wanted criminals."

The police looked at Meng Jin, who nodded: "Yes, Reggie and the wanted criminal fought for a long time, and then I dealt him a fatal blow.

A day later, photos of Meng Jin and Reggie Miller holding Los Angeles Honorary Citizens certificates went viral in major sports newspapers.

Meng Jin was helpless as he became famous for violence once again.

But compared with the previous times, at least this time it is positive.

Many years later, Reggie Miller mentioned this incident in his autobiography, Against the World.

"I know many fans are interested in the fact that I am an honorary citizen of Los Angeles, but what I want to say is that this is definitely the most thrilling night of my career, no, it should be said that it is the most thrilling night of my life. In 1987, one night after the draft, Meng Jin and I went to the bar to have some fun. I saw a man with strange behavior on the dance floor. Yes, even though he was dressed in women's clothes, I still knew it was a man at first glance. He was looking for targets on the dance floor, and then he seemed to put drugs in a young man's glass. I could have ignored it and walked away, but my sense of justice did not allow me to do so. I went up to argue with him, and then we wrestled together. In the end, Meng Jin and I worked together to subdue this guy. Later, my sixth sense was proved to be correct. The Los Angeles police told me that he was a wanted criminal."

Everyone likes to beautify themselves, and Reggie Miller is no exception. Therefore, in a person's life, many truths are only known to himself and a few people around him.
