NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 39 Meng, you are a fucking genius

After the summer league ended, Meng Jin received another call from his father in the far East.

Lao Meng: "What? You did something heroic in America?"

Meng Jin was speechless: "Dad, this happened last month"

Domestic news always lags behind, and Meng Jin and his father sometimes feel like there is a serious network delay.

"Last month? Why didn't you tell me when you called?"

"You didn't ask!"

"I won't allow it next time. Also, the United States doesn't advocate bravery. They advocate calling the police. If something happens, the police will respond. That's their duty."

"Oh, you are quite knowledgeable."

"Of course, your father also has contact with foreign clients! Don't think that I don't know what's going on abroad just because I can't speak English!"

Meng Jin said a few perfunctory words to him and hung up the phone.

After the summer league, Meng Jin entered the boring training period again.

There are still three months until the training camp opens.

The regular season will begin not long after the training camp. Meng Jin feels the urgency of time and he has to hurry up to practice, otherwise the triple experience will be gone by the time the regular season comes.

October 10, Chicago Bulls training camp.

At 6:30 in the morning, Meng Jin had already appeared at the Angel Guardian Arena.

At this time, there are still two and a half hours before the training officially starts.

During this holiday, Meng Jin has developed a habit of getting up early to practice basketball. He is woken up by his biological clock at 6 o'clock every morning without fail.

At around 7:15, Jordan walked into the training hall.

"boom!"

When he was still 7 or 8 meters away from the stadium gate, Jordan felt something was wrong.

He heard the ball bouncing.

Jordan is usually the first one to arrive on the team. He feels that the training volume assigned by the coach is too small, so he is used to practicing for an extra hour before training.

There is someone here earlier than me today?
Jordan was curious.

When I walked into the gate, I saw Meng Jin practicing mid-range jump shots. His whole body was wet and it was obvious that he had been there for some time.

After shooting for a few minutes, Meng Jin finally saw Jordan.

"Hey! Michael!" Meng Jin took the initiative to walk over and say hello.

"Hey!" Jordan responded indifferently.

Meng Jin discovered that Michael Jordan changed into a limited edition skin today and wore a transparent mask.

This was the doctor's advice, Jordan's nose had just healed and needed mask protection.

Meng Jin smiled and teased, "Michael, the look is great."

Jordan didn't say anything, staring at Meng Jin with murderous eyes.

If Meng Jin hadn't bumped into him, he wouldn't have to wear a mask for the next few months.

Meng Jin continued, "Oh! Michael, I think this look suits you very well. Maybe it will become your symbol, just like Batman's mask."

Jordan finally spoke up: "Shut up! If you say another word, I'll make you wear the same damn mask as me tomorrow!"

The conversation between the two ended again in this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

Jordan changed into training clothes and went to the other half of the court to practice shooting.

As he finished speaking, Jordan looked at Meng Jin closely.

no change.

A little stronger than before.

A punch would probably hurt more.

Jordan has a sharp eye. Meng Jin is 3 kilograms heavier than when he was in the NCAA and now weighs 113 kilograms.

In addition to weight gain, several months of hard training have also allowed Meng Jin's various attributes to improve to varying degrees.

Shooting trainer Greg Sam did not lie to Meng Jin. After a holiday of hard training, his mid-range shot increased to 73.

This data is not high, but at least in the NBA it is the type that can be shot when there is an opportunity.

Tim Grover's special training on leg strength further improved Meng Jin's speed and jumping ability.

In addition, Meng Jin's physical attribute also increased significantly. It would be strange if his physical attribute did not increase.

At around 8:30, head coach Collins arrived.

Collins saw Jordan first: "Oh! Michael, you look like you just walked out of a sauna."

Then he turned around and saw Meng Jin, who looked like he had been drenched in rain. "GOD! This guy is even more of a heavyweight!"

At around nine o'clock, all the players arrived.

Collins blew a whistle, signaling everyone to line up.

Players, coaching staff and staff stood in two rows.

Jordan glanced at Grant and said, "Well, this idiot still knew to report."

Grant looked aggrieved as he encountered workplace bullying on his first day at work.

None of his teammates around him sympathized with him or comforted him.

Because everyone here has been bullied by Jordan!
This boiled egg has an extremely bad temper and will start scolding if he is not satisfied.

"Okay! Quiet!" Collins shouted and began to lecture.

"First of all, let's welcome the new rookies!"

"Mon, Horace, Tony, Jack."

Four players, Meng Jin, Grant, Tony White and Jack Harry, stepped out.

After a brief introduction, Collins began his speech.

"Last season, we made it to the playoffs together. Are you satisfied with just reaching the threshold of the playoffs? I am not satisfied anyway. I want to keep moving forward! I will keep moving forward with you! This season we have added fresh blood, and all the players are ready and full of energy! What is our goal? Our goal can only be that damn trophy!"

"It's not far from us, it's right in front of us! It's within our reach! What we have to do is to go all out until we reach our goal!"

With the passionate speech of head coach Collins, the Chicago Bulls officially opened the 1987-1988 season!

"The commentator has a great tongue," Oakley muttered as Collins spoke.

Jordan shrugged and said nothing.

Before coaching the Bulls, Collins was a commentator for CBS, a true TV personality.

And he is only 35 years old, even the same age as some veterans in the team.

When he first came to the Bulls, no one believed he could lead the team well. Collins proved himself to be a qualified coach. In his first year, he helped the Bulls improve their win rate by 10 games.

However, he has not yet proved himself to be an excellent coach, let alone a championship coach.

Young Collins, like this young Bulls team, still has a long way to go.

The Bulls have five new players this year, including the rookies and last season's point guard Sam Vincent of the Seattle Supersonics. Bach took these new players aside and taught them how to run tactics and memorize secret codes.

Grant immediately felt dizzy when he saw dozens of tactics.

The same is true for other rookies.

The types of tactics in the NBA are more numerous and more complex than those in the college league.

To be honest, Meng Jin didn't know what the point of the Bulls formulating so many tactics was.

Fight or give the ball to Jordan?
Meng Jin took a quick look at the tactics and suggested that everyone go out and try it out, after all, what you learn from books is always superficial.

Grant was surprised: "Meng? You memorized all these tactics?"

Meng Jin glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, of course not. It is better to learn these tactics in training and remember them more firmly."

Grant touched his head and said, "It's a bit difficult."

Meng Jin: "What's so difficult about basketball? It's not like you're building a rocket. You just need to look for open teammates when attacking and keep an eye on the ball when defending. Come on, Horace."

"Meng! You are a genius!"

After hearing this, Grant suddenly understood. What he said made a lot of sense!

Grant discovered since the summer league that Meng Jin seemed to have a kind of magic, a magic that made everything simple.
