NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 46 NBA doesn't seem that difficult
"Three scores, three dunks! Who on earth is coming to the NBA this year?" Hubie Brown laughed.

"I like this kid, he makes me see something different," said Tommy Heinsohn.

Then, Hubie Brown analyzed Meng Jin's steal.

Hubie Brown: "Barkley's counterattack just now was too hasty. If he could be more steady before passing the ball, maybe he could have avoided a turnover."

His partner Tommy Heinsohn disagreed with this statement: "No, no, no, I think there was no problem with Barkley's pass, both in terms of timing and height. It was Meng who jumped too high. His height, wingspan and jumping speed caused Barkley's mistake."

Tommy Heinsohn appeared to be trying to exonerate Barkley, but in reality he was praising Meng Jin.

This Celtics legend is known for being outspoken and picky, and fans who are familiar with him know that it is not easy to gain his approval.

Less than half a quarter after Meng Jin came on the court, he got a Meng fan, and a picky Meng fan at that.

While the two commentators were chatting and laughing, the 76ers scored a goal with the help of teamwork, and center Tim McCormick finished the goal.

16:19.

The Bulls were on offense and Michael Jordan got the ball at the top of the arc.

After the screen, Jordan shot from a 45-degree angle on the right side of the free throw line.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the net.

The ball was hit very cleanly.

Starting this season, Jordan intentionally increased his mid-range shots. This is the first season of his active transformation.

In the first three seasons, Jordan focused on attacking the basket. His impact was so strong that other NBA teams were looking for strong men who could knock Jordan down directly.

Jordan also realized that if he did not transform, the rest of his career would be plagued by injuries.

Throughout the summer, Jordan has been further improving his mid-range shots. People were only impressed by his dunks and pull-ups. He wanted to prove with his actions that his shooting was not bad, at least much better than imagined.

76ers attack,
Cheeks dribbled to the weak side and the team spread out.

Cheeks suddenly started, and Paxson was a little slow and couldn't keep up with his speed.

Meng Jin at the top of the arc immediately moved back in.

Cheeks handled the ball very reasonably. After one dribble, he immediately passed it to Roy Hinson at the top of the arc.

A very simple and effective tactic.

Roy Hinson missed the mid-range shot without any interference.

After a disappointing season, Roy Hinson shows no signs of rebounding in the new season.

Roy Hinson joined the 1986ers in the 1987-76 season. In order to get him, the 76ers paid a high price - the No. pick that year.

Many teammates, including Barkley, have high hopes for this guy.

As a result, in his first season, his statistics dropped drastically.

1985-1986赛季他场均能拿到19.8分7.8篮板2.3盖帽的全明星数据。

Just one season later, those numbers were 13.9, 6.4 and 2.1.

The hit rate also dropped from 53.2% to 47.8%.

The key is that he is only 26 years old!

It's hard not to wonder if this guy is taking drugs or smoking them.

Barkley secretly approached management more than once and asked them to give this guy a urine test to confirm that his guess was correct.

However, all were rejected by management.

Just kidding, if it is really found that this stuff has been taken or smoked, it will be difficult to sell it later.

Roy Hinson's shot was a bit off. With no one guarding him, it hit the front of the basket slightly and almost missed the target.

What to do if teammates are unreliable?
Barkley said he could only rely on himself.

Feizhu rushed into the basket with his keen sense of smell, picked up the rebound and shot.

Jordan jumped up from behind to interfere, and Barkley missed the first shot.

After the second jump, Barkley grabbed the rebound again.

Get up strong on the spot!

Hit in hand-to-hand combat!

18:19.

After watching most of the game, Meng Jin's intuitive feeling was that Barkley would be exhausted if he played four full quarters like this.

Chicago Bulls offensive possession.

Jordan made a strong breakthrough from the top of the arc.

The 76ers' defense was tightened, and four people came to cover Jordan, which was very exaggerated. Jordan passed the ball to the outside line under the defense of four people.

Paxson failed to catch the ball and lost the opportunity for an open shot.

By the time he regained control of the basketball, Cheeks had already caught up with him.

There are 12 seconds left in the attack time of the round.

Paxson quickly looked for Jordan.

The Bulls players developed a psychological dependence. When there was not much time left in the offensive round, they just had to give the ball to Jordan and he would take care of everything.

After Jordan got the ball, he didn't dribble it, but passed it directly to Meng Jin in the inside.

Meng Jin's shot was not deep, just a small step outside the penalty area.

After getting the ball, Meng Jin did not turn to the front nor did he hesitate to try hard. There was not enough time to attack, so he had to use the simplest and most brutal method of play.

Meng Jin turned around and walked towards the baseline!
Meng Jin turned very quickly, but failed to shake off Roy Hinson.

Roy Hinson took the lead and seized the advantageous terrain!

"boom!"

Meng Jin dribbled the ball vigorously with his right hand and suddenly turned in the opposite direction!
Just as Meng Jin raised the ball above his head, 76ers center Tim McCormick rushed over and committed a foul.

"Snapped!"

Tim McCormick was very cruel and hit Meng Jin's arm, leaving a slap mark.

Tim McCormick didn't want Meng Jin to dunk again. The sound of him pounding the basket tonight almost gave him a nervous breakdown.

"Continuous turns! The person who just performed this move was not a small guy, but a 213CM big guy! Meng Jin's magic is still continuing!" Hubie Brown exclaimed.

"There was a ballerina at the Chicago Stadium today," Tommy Heinsohn joked.

The two commentators' styles complement each other, Hubie Brown is more serious, while Tommy Heinsohn is more playful and humorous.

"What's going on? Didn't you say I was defending a rookie? Did he just move like a rookie?"

Roy Hinson complained loudly before Meng Jin went to the free throw line.

Roy Hinson played very unhappy tonight, and his teammates were even more unhappy, especially McCormick, who is also an inside player.

Tim McCormick pointed at Roy Hinson and said, "Stand in your defensive position and keep an eye on him. I don't want to hear you complain and I don't want to see that guy dunk!"

Roy Hinson responded: "Go! Then go and defend. Since you think it's so easy, then this good thing is for you."

Tim McCormick shouted back even louder: "Go talk to the coach!"

Meng Jin had been secretly observing at the free throw line; he also wanted to see his teammates fighting each other.

In the end, the two of them just bickered and didn't fight, which was a bit boring.

"Bang!"

Missed a free throw.

"If you could shoot free throws half as well as you dunk."

Meng Jin thought it was an opponent who came to talk trash, but when he turned around, he saw a boiled egg?

Meng Jin glanced at Jordan and said, "This is the first time I've seen someone talk trash when his teammates are shooting free throws."

“I’m trying to inspire you.”

"Thank you so much, this one is for you, Michael."

"Shh!"

The second free throw was made.

In the rest of the first quarter, Meng Jin became more and more relaxed.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls led the 29ers 25-76.

Meng Jin's statistics were 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.

Everyone around him told him how intense the competition in the NBA was.

The trainer told him that there wouldn't be much room for breakthrough after entering the NBA.

The coach told him that he should start with defense first when he gets on the court because offense is not something a rookie should consider.

Meng Jin made sufficient preparations for his debut.

It turns out that I was a little over-prepared.

The NBA doesn't seem to be that difficult.
