NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 49: Learning from Jordan
"Meng! This car is so cool!"

Grant was drooling as he touched the customized Ferrari Testarossa that Meng Jinxin had brought.

"It's just a means of transportation." Meng Jin replied.

Grant glanced at Meng Jin. Ferrari as a means of transportation? You've got it right again.

"boom!"

Grant closed the car door and got into the passenger seat: "Give me a ride."

Grant is now familiar with Meng Jin and has become very thick-skinned.

Meng Jin glanced at him and refused coldly: "Sorry, Grant, I still have something to take care of."

"What is it?" Grant asked.

"I need to practice more." Meng Jin replied.

"What!?"

Grant's face was filled with shock, but shock was only superficial; admiration was Grant's truest psychological activity at the moment.

In this era, no player will run back to the training hall for more practice after getting 20+10 and helping the team win.

No one, not even Jordan, the training maniac, would do this.

Grant obediently got down from the passenger seat. He saw Meng Jin's determined eyes. Just when Grant's admiration was about to reach its peak, a female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." The voice sounded charming but a little artificial.

Grant looked back and saw that the man looked familiar.

After looking the other person up and down, Grant remembered.

This is Jennifer, a member of the Chicago Bulls cheerleading squad.

Grant was impressed by her because she looked not only elegant but also distinctive.

Although management didn’t like cheerleaders to have contact with players during this era, they didn’t explicitly ban it.

"Me?" Grant pointed at himself like a pervert.

Jennifer walked around Grant and went to Meng Jin: “You didn’t say you brought a brother with you.”

Meng Jin: "He can take the bus back by himself."

Grant: ???

Shit! Am I a human?
Grant just watched Meng Jin drive away in his luxury car with the beautiful woman.

Grant roared wildly in his heart, is this what you call extra training?
If Meng Jin could hear Grant's roar, he would definitely smile faintly: "Waist and abdominal strength is also part of the exercise."

"Meng, you are just a stud, just a beast"

After a friendly exchange, Jennifer laid on top of Meng Jin and spoke weakly.

As a cheerleader, Jennifer was absolutely confident in her physical fitness, but that was before she met Meng Jin.

Halfway through the game, Jennifer wanted to stop it.

She felt that Meng Jin's attack was too fierce and her restricted area had been broken into like a sieve.

Meng Jin's average dunk frequency of once every five rounds made her miserable.

However, Meng Jin decisively rejected Jennifer's request.

Want to leave halfway through the game?

Meng Jin will never tolerate people who have no competitive spirit!
After the game, Jennifer was exhausted and twitched occasionally.

Meng Jin didn't care about it. It was normal to have cramps after exercise.

Jennifer didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. She closed her eyes and said, "It would take a whole cheerleading team to deal with you."

Meng Jin's mouth curled up slightly: "This is a good idea. I plan to connect the two bedrooms and put a super large bed in it. The kind that can accommodate ten people."

Jennifer laughed out loud after hearing this. She was successfully amused by Meng Jin and thought he was very humorous.

When Jennifer slowly opened her eyes and saw Meng Jin's serious expression, she realized something was wrong.

"Meng? You're not serious?"

"Jennifer, thank you. You gave me inspiration." Meng Jin kissed Jennifer and said, "I decided to reward you again."

"no no!"

The next day, Jennifer woke up at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Meng Jingang came back from a morning run. The next game is on November 11, so Collins gave the whole team a day off.

When Jennifer saw Meng Jin coming back, she immediately acted coquettishly and said that she wanted to go out for dinner with him and go shopping.

Meng Jin's house is located in the Lincoln Park community in the north side of Chicago. It is a three-story apartment. It was found by agent Falk, and Meng Jin is very satisfied with it.

The house is about two miles away from the city center and is surrounded by beach gardens, zoos, museums, and most importantly, it is safe. This community is a wealthy area in Chicago.

The house is not too big, with a total area of ​​about 260 square meters, just right for Meng Jin to live alone.

Faced with Jennifer's request, Meng Jin refused without even thinking about it.

He and Jennifer were just friends, and he didn't want her to cross the line, nor did he want to give her the wrong impression.

Meng Jin said that this house has no fixed hostess, and any woman he likes can come here to experience a day trip.

This is Meng Jin’s attitude towards life.

He is not a playboy, he just wants to do his bit to contribute to the girls' happiness.

As for contracting a disease, Meng Jin was not too worried. He had taken sufficient safety measures and had a system. As long as he completed 50% of the path of [Born Champion], he would be able to gain a skill that would make him immune to all viruses and diseases.

The 50% progress is not too difficult for Meng Jin, as long as the Bulls can get past the second round this season.

Jennifer was also very tactful. She simply packed up and left.

We all come out to have fun, and having fun is the most important thing.

After lunch, Meng Jin received a call from Tim Grover. The Bulls gave Meng Jin a day off, but his two personal trainers did not.

Meng Jin's stunning performance in his debut gave the two trainers greater motivation. Their training plan was effective, which further stimulated their motivation.

They want to see what level Meng Jin can reach in the NBA if he continues training like this.

After a day of rest, the Bulls resumed normal training.

After the morning physical training, head coach Collins held a team meeting and assistant coach Bach served as the team's analyst.

He was in the video room analyzing his next opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.

"Dominique Wilkins, everyone is familiar with this guy. Don't let him rush up, try to force him to the left, let him dribble with his left hand, finish with his left hand, don't give him the opportunity to launch an air raid."

Bach was a military man and often used military terminology in his analysis classes.

"If Dominic dribbles to the baseline and double-teams him, that guy has problems passing the ball. Last season, his usage rate was 31% and his assist rate was only 10%. They put him in a difficult position and let him mess up his offensive rounds."

"This guy doesn't like to run. The Hawks usually use two inside players to take turns to screen him and let him catch the ball smoothly. What we have to do is to try to let him catch the ball away from the basket. If he wants to shoot a three-pointer, let him do it. If he wants to break through, just do what I just said."

"In this game, the Hawks' second-leading scorer Doug Rivers is absent. You know what I mean, right? We should pay special attention to Dominique Wilkins. The lower his efficiency, the higher our chances of winning."

In the afternoon, the Bulls had an intra-squad competition.

Jordan specifically targeted Meng Jin in today's competition.

After each single-player match with Meng Jin, Jordan would yell at him, "MJ? Is this MJ's level?"

Obviously, Jordan is still bothered by what Meng Jin said in his last interview.

It’s confirmed that he is narrow-minded!
After the match, Meng Jin said to Jordan: "Michael, let's have a one-on-one match."

The teammates around him were all shocked, and no one in the team dared to talk to Jordan like that.

Jordan was also shocked. In the team, he would randomly pick a lucky teammate to beat up, and no one dared to challenge him!

Jordan felt his authority was challenged, so he grabbed the ball and threw it to Meng Jin: "Come on."

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

A few seconds later, the sound of muscles colliding filled the entire stadium.

Teammate Paxson commented: "Michael is serious. He didn't take the playoffs this seriously!"

After the game, Jordan won 11-3.

After winning the game, Jordan continued to repeat himself: "You're the only one called MJ?"

Meng Jin expressed his dissatisfaction: "Michael, do you have the guts to put one on my head?"

Jordan, who was about to leave the court, immediately put down his backpack.

Not convinced?

If you don't agree, continue.

In the second one-on-one game, Meng Jin took advantage of Jordan's desire to dunk over him and blocked two of his shots.

"Michael, you still need to practice your dunking. Do you want to sign up for a class with me?"

11:4.

After winning two games in a row, Jordan suddenly discovered a problem.

Although he won, he didn't feel happy, but a little unhappy.

There is only one truth to this question.

Although Meng Jin lost the duel, he did not lose in eloquence.

What part of the body is the most difficult to defend against?

Of course it’s the mouth!
Although Meng Jin couldn't beat Jordan, he just refused to give in.

It just so happens that Jordan is also the kind of person who has a strong desire to win.

The two of them fought one-on-one from the afternoon to the evening.

For this reason, Jordan postponed his golf game and canceled his card game.

He just wants to defeat Meng Jin!
The members of the coaching team were the most miserable. They didn't dare to leave and had to take turns on duty to watch over the two men, fearing that they would accidentally start fighting.

Meng Jin was not simply competing with Jordan. A one-on-one duel was also a good opportunity to learn from Jordan. During the fight, Meng Jin was observing Jordan's movements closely.

Meng Jin was very interested in one of Jordan's moves, that is, every time he caught the ball, Jordan had a very fast and realistic fake move.

The amplitude is small, but this kind of shaking is very lethal to the defensive players who are concentrating. Sometimes the defensive players' brains haven't even reacted yet, but their bodies have already taken a step forward.

Jordan always manages to take advantage of the moment when his opponent's center of gravity shifts to pass the ball and break through.

This trick is the most practical for Meng Jin.

As long as he slightly shakes the opponent's center of gravity, Meng Jin can dribble the ball and drive straight in for a dunk.

Very rogue.

This quick shaking move is not difficult, but it is not easy to learn its soul and essence.

A lot of details are needed.

Halfway through the duel, Meng Jin asked directly: "Michael, was your footsteps like this when you were shaking just now?"

Jordan stood directly next to Meng Jin and gave him some on-the-spot teaching.

"When you kick out, don't sway too much, and lower your center of gravity when you kick the ball."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, but you have to observe and judge your opponent's center of gravity by their feet."

The assistant coach on the sidelines opened his eyes dazedly.

Seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded. He just took a nap, so how did the duel turn into an exchange meeting?
