NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 41 Military Advisor Meng Jin, Online Advice

The third day of training camp.

Michael Jordan arrived half an hour earlier than usual.

As a result, he found that Meng Jin was still on the court, still sweating profusely.

How early is this coming?
Jordan soon realized that this was not a coincidence, and there was someone in the team who was more hardworking than him!

This was unbearable for Jordan.

Jordan strives to be the best in everything. He is the kind of person who would rather pee farther than anyone else.

Jordan has secretly made a plan to come to the training ground an hour earlier tomorrow!

Meng Jin glanced at Jordan, then said to the trainer, "Michael is really hardworking. He still comes to the gym early every day to train despite this."

“That’s the key to his success,” Tim Grove said.

Meng Jin smiled and said: "I am not curious whether this is the key to his success. I am curious whether he can really see the basket."

Jordan's eyebrow bone was cracked, and the gauze and bandages almost covered his right eye, and the mask also interfered with his vision.

Grant came to the training hall humming a little tune, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately when he saw Jordan.

Grant thought that Jordan would rest for a few days because of his injury, so that he could catch his breath and avoid being scolded less.

I never expected that this guy was cruel to his teammates and even crueler to himself.

In the afternoon competition, Collins deliberately put Meng Jin and Oakley together.

This would be better, at least the two people don’t have to confront each other directly, which can reduce some conflicts.

Collins soon realized that his decision was wrong again.

The two men refused to give in to each other when fighting for the rebound and elbowed each other at the same time.

Seeing the two people who were not easy to deal with, Jordan got angry.

Jordan first stopped the game, then yelled at the two men: "What do you two want to do? Fight each other? And then hit me again when I'm trying to stop the fight? Don't you think the scars on my face are enough? Shit!"

Seeing Jordan's anger level reach 100%, Meng Jin and Oakley restrained themselves.

In the following competitions, Jordan played with anger.

Whenever Jordan gets angry, Grant is in trouble.

This has almost become an iron rule in the training camp.

"Idiot! Go get the ball!"

"Idiot! Didn't you have enough to eat? Why are your hands and feet so weak?"

"You damn idiot!"

Jordan scolded other players to stimulate their potential and hone their will, but he scolded Grant simply because he was displeased with him.

Grant was almost dizzy from being scolded. He now wished Meng Jin would punch him and put an end to it all.

Halfway through the game, Bulls general manager Jerry Krause arrived.

"Jerry, why are you here?" asked head coach Collins.

"I'm afraid that if I don't come again, this place will become a gladiatorial arena," said Klaus.

"I can control the situation." Collins said confidently.

"That's not what it says in the newspaper," said Klaus.

Krause had planned to make great achievements in the new season, but negative news started flying around before the regular season even started.

Krause is very dissatisfied with Collins as head coach.

When Jordan saw Krause coming, he started yelling again.

"Who the hell picked this idiot to play for the Bulls!"

"What on earth can he do?"

"Even a pig can tell this guy isn't cut out for basketball!"

Jordan is an expert at making indirect accusations. On the surface, he was criticizing Grant, but in reality, he was scolding Krause.

Only three days into the training camp, Grant was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He wanted to pack up and go back to college.

After training, Grant ran to Meng Jin's room to talk.

Meng Jin is Grant's only friend on the team.

As Grant spoke, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and snot and tears started flowing.

Meng Jin also felt that this was not a good thing to continue.

Although Grant is a submissive person, he will definitely have psychological problems if he is bullied like this every day.

As Grant's best brother in the team, Meng Jin gave advice: "Horace, you have to learn to fight, in simple terms, learn to solve problems."

Grant looked into Meng Jin's eyes and asked, "How do you fight?"

Meng Jin showed his fist and said, "Be tougher! Don't be so timid."

Grant clenched his fists as if his Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened. "I understand, Meng. From today on, after I finish my training, I will come to your place to learn boxing for an hour."

Meng Jin: "Wait wait, what are you going to do!?"

Grant: "I'm going to be tough!"

Meng Jin was almost laughing at Grant's anger: "Horace, you misunderstood me. I meant for you to confront him! Fight him! Show your attitude!"

Military strategist Meng Jin offers advice online.

Grant nodded after listening to this. This sounded reasonable.

Meng Jin has been against Jordan since the start of the tryout, but Jordan admires this guy very much.

Does Jordan have a hobby that makes him like this?

……

The next day, during the team competition, as soon as Michael Jordan got the ball, Grant mustered up his courage, blushed, and yelled at him, "Michael, give me the damn ball! Let me get a back-up shot!"

"Go away!"

Jordan glanced at him, puzzled.

Two minutes later, Grant mustered up his courage again and rushed to Jordan: "Michael! I just found an open spot! That's my shooting range, let me end this damn round!"

"Are you fucking crazy?" Jordan kicked him right in the ass.

Grant covered his butt, wondering why the plot was not what he had imagined.

On this day, Grant was even worse off than the previous two days.

In the previous two days, Jordan only attacked him mentally, but on this day he also attacked him physically.

Grant suffered a mental and physical breakdown.

Grant found Meng Jin again that night.

Meng Jin didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him: "Horace, when you can't hold on, just think about the number on your bank card."

Grant's rookie salary in his first year reached 50 US dollars. You have to know that the purchasing power of the US dollar was extremely strong in the 80s. 50 US dollars in that era is equivalent to 24 or 800 in 900 years, or maybe more. Meng Jin is not an economist, so he doesn't quite understand the specific numbers.

Just think of it as being a dog for the salary and bear with it.

Unexpectedly, when the issue of salary was mentioned, Grant almost cried.

“I lost all my damn money in the stock market.”

Meng Jin: "What!? A whole year's salary?"

Grant nodded. "My broker told me not to keep my money in the bank but to invest it. He suggested that I invest in stocks, and I also brought in my friends."

Meng Jin asked, "Did your friends invest a lot?"

Grant: "Most of it is my savings from a few years of investment, but it doesn't matter, my agent said it will rebound soon."

Meng Jin patted Grant on the shoulder and said, "It's better not to contact these friends in the future if you can."

Meng Jin knew that this was the largest stock market crash in American history, a day known as "Black Monday" in the financial world, when countless people lost their fortunes.
