NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 48 The Real MJ The Fake MJ
After taking a shower, Meng Jin walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

As soon as he opened the door, Meng Jin was dumbfounded.

The locker room was packed with reporters, and everyone looked at Meng Jin.

At this time, Meng Jin was shirtless, without even wearing any underwear, and his private parts were completely covered by a bath towel.

Most of the reporters gathered around Jordan.

Jordan sat sprawled in front of the locker, pointed at Meng Jin and said, "Hahaha, this rookie is being interviewed in the locker room for the first time, and he doesn't quite understand the rules."

The reporters burst into laughter after hearing this.

Jordan was in a good mood today and rarely praised his teammates in front of reporters.

"That guy Charles Oakley took care of all the rebounds. I felt very relieved when he was there."

"John (Paxson) shot the ball from the outside as consistently tonight. This guy is a natural shooter."

"Meng? I knew you would ask this guy. He is a capable guy. He made his opponent suffer tonight!"

"Horace Grant, Emmmm, he's also on the court. It's important to take the first step."

As soon as Meng Jin sat down, a group of reporters surrounded him.

"Sorry, you guys are too close, my balls are going to be exposed."

Meng Jin's words made the reporter laugh.

The reporters started asking questions without waiting for him to change his clothes.

The CBS reporter asked first: "Meng, you performed many dunks tonight. I want to ask you a question. How does it feel to pass through the clouds?"

Meng Jin smiled and said, "The air up there is nice. I like this feeling."

CBS reporter: "What does it feel like to play next to Jordan?"

Meng Jin: "His tongue is so flexible."

CBS reporter: "What do you think of Coach Collins?"

Meng Jin: "His dancing moves on the sidelines were pretty good."

The reporters were collectively silenced. Meng Jin's focus seemed to be different from that of normal people.

Meng Jin waved his hands: "Just kidding, Michael is an amazing guy, he is like a gold mine, I can learn something from this guy every day."

"Coach Collins is very passionate. From training to games, I can feel his energy all the time. It is this energy that drives the team forward. I also want to thank Coach Collins. He has a very good vision and let me play for so long in the first game."

The CBS reporter continued to ask: "How did it feel when you got your first professional point?"

Meng Jin: "I just remember that my chest hurt a lot. I was elbowed by Charles Barkley in the last round. That elbow almost sent me away, so I strongly suggested that he lose weight."

A reporter from the Chicago Times asked: "Meng, speaking of Charles Barkley, I just heard that he destroyed the away locker room. What do you want to say about this?"

Meng Jin: "I hope he has enough cash on him."

The reporters laughed again.

They had never met Meng Jin before and were worried that he would be difficult to approach before the interview, but it turned out that he was much humorous than they had imagined.

He is domineering on the court and humorous off the court, which is a great contrast.

The next person to ask a question was Chicago radio reporter Cheryl Rae Stout, a longtime friend of the Bulls.

"Meng, did you cause the injury on Michael's head? What happened at that time?"

When Cheryl Rae Stott asked this question, the scene became much quieter.

Many Bulls players, including Jordan, were listening to Meng Jin's answer.

If this question is not answered well, the team harmony that has just been established will probably collapse again. "Michael has already talked about this question before. Next question."

Meng Jin chose to keep silent. Jordan had already held a press conference, so there was no need for him to answer this question again. What if the version of the answer was different or the content was biased, that would be a slap in Jordan's face.

“Can you tell me about your becoming an honorary citizen of Los Angeles?”

Compared to the court, Cheryl Rae Stott seems more interested in Meng Jin's private life.

Meng Jin thought for a moment and said, "I helped the police subdue a wanted criminal, that's all."

"I heard that the police found you the next day. Why did you run away?" Cheryl Rae Stout asked.

"This is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, doing good deeds without leaving a name behind."

Cheryl Rae Stout smiled and said, "OK, next time you encounter something like this, you don't have to run away. This is America. If you are a hero, you must be rewarded accordingly."

Meng Jin said expressionlessly: "Cool."

Meng Jin was a little unhappy with the reporter's question, but he still tried his best to remain calm. Meng Jin knew the importance of maintaining a good relationship with this group of reporters. They have voting rights for many awards. In addition, in this era of paper media, a false report may ruin a player's image in the eyes of fans.

After asking a lot of nonsense, Cheryl Rae Stout finally asked a meaningful question: "Meng, I heard that you come to the training hall two hours early every day. You are the most hardworking person in the whole team. What I want to ask is, why do you work so hard?"

Meng Jin pointed to his arm: "What is this?"

Cheryl Rae Stott asked in confusion: "Skin?"

"What about inside?"

"Blood?"

Meng Jin nodded: "If you don't train, then the talent will only flow quietly in your blood."

Reporters took note of this sentence, which was very suitable as a news headline.

Cheryl Rae Stout asked the final question: "Meng, do you have a nickname?"

"Nickname?" Meng Jin shook his head. "Shouldn't you media help me choose this kind of thing?"

Cheryl Rae Stott smiled and said, "You have to come up with a nickname for yourself, like the Iceman or the Magician. In short, you have to have a shiny nickname that will attract people's attention in the newspaper."

"Hahaha, how about a violent freak?"

"He should be called the Boxing Champion!"

"How's the killer? I think he just murdered some 76ers player."

His teammates cheered on the side, and Jordan smiled happily, revealing his big white teeth.

Meng Jin ignored the group of guys. After thinking for a while, he said, "I think it's good to use the abbreviation of my name. Just call me MJ from now on."

Jordan's smile gradually froze.

Your name is MJ, then what's my name?
At the post-match press conference, Bulls coach Collins was very excited, and a rare glow appeared on his thin face.

He has been under a lot of pressure during this period and urgently needs this victory.

Collins praised his players highly.

Finally, Coach Collins singled out Meng Jin for praise: "He is definitely the biggest surprise of the new season. This guy is so wild, fearless, unbridled, and has no scruples! Watching him play is a pleasure, especially his dunks. There were a few times when I almost forgot to arrange tactics while watching him."

The reporter asked: "I'm curious, how many times can this guy take off in a game?"

Head coach Collins smiled: "You have to ask him, but I am very happy because I now have two men on my team who can think in the air."
