NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 91 Explosion! Meng Jinbu appears out of nowhere!

“Pause! Pause!”

Seeing that the situation was not right, Pacers head coach Ramsey quickly called a timeout.

Although the score between the two sides was not far apart, after Meng Jin's two consecutive dunks, the Bulls' momentum suddenly overwhelmed the Pacers.

Momentum is a subtle thing, invisible and intangible, but it can determine the direction of a game.

During the timeout, Ramsey did not get angry. It was normal to make mistakes during the game. Meng Jin's shot just now was indeed very sneaky, and even he himself did not notice it.

Ramsey called this timeout for two reasons.

First, slow down the bull's momentum.

The second is to arrange the next defensive tactics.

Ramsey didn't take the tactical board. He asked all the players to gather around him and said word by word: "In the next few minutes, the Bulls will definitely speed up. They will definitely want to use the momentum to play an offensive climax. Next, on the defensive end, I only want you to do one thing, retreat quickly."

The short break was coming soon. Coach Ramsey reminded the players before they went on the court: "If the ball is not scored, retreat immediately!"

Ramsay's skills are indeed much deeper than Collins'.

Because during the timeout, the tactic Collins drew on the tactical board was a quick counterattack, especially Jordan and Meng Jin seized the opportunity of the Pacers' missed shots.

Because once the Pacers make a shot, they can target Vincent when the Bulls serve the ball from the baseline.

In the first offensive round after the timeout, the Pacers made a beautiful cut and Fleming broke into the basket without the ball with the help of Williams' screen.

Fleming's positioning was beautiful, John Long's pass was also brilliant, and Fleming pulled it in the final moment.

With almost no one guarding him, Fleming missed the layup.

"Go! Go!"

Collins directed traffic on the sidelines.

Seeing Collins like this, Ramsay smiled slightly, indicating that he had seen through his opponent's underwear.

On the court, except for Stipanovic who grabbed the rebound, the other four Pacers players returned to the defensive half as soon as possible.

Meng Jin advanced with the ball at a steady speed. Three Pacers players were scattered at the edge of the three-point line, and one player was running towards the penalty area.

Meng Jin took a look and found that the formation was so loose?

What a great opportunity!

Accelerate and rush straight in!

The Pacers players were caught off guard, as they all thought Meng Jin was ready to slow down and play positional defense.

Meng Jin sprinted and took a big step to pass Chuck Person!
Others describe their strides as "steps", while Meng Jin describes them as "jumps".

The first step is outside the three-point line, a small step behind the free throw line, and then the second step is to jump directly in.

It was too late for John Long and Fleming to retreat.

Williams had just turned around when a UFO passed by him.

Meng Jin took two steps very violently, but finished very lightly, with a light flick of his left hand, he dribbled the ball into the basket!

Coach Ramsey was silent. Playing like this?
From a tactical perspective, he has already achieved his best, but Meng Jin's actions just now went beyond the tactical level.

Collins smiled and shook his head on the sidelines. As the head coach, Collins knew Meng Jin very well. He knew that Meng Jin could not be defended like this. Although four Pacers players immediately took up their positions to defend the half court, the space left for him was too large, especially Chuck Person, who gave Meng Jin two body lengths to allow him to speed up smoothly.

When it comes to defending Meng Jin in a fast break, the best way is for one person to block and prevent Meng Jin from rushing up, one person to cut and interfere with Meng Jin so that he can't take a big step towards the basket, and then one person to squat inside.

Such defense will make Meng Jin very uncomfortable at this stage.

Unfortunately, this is just theory. The formation cannot be so neat when counterattacking. The reality is that the defensive players would be lucky if they can run back before Meng Jin.

Commentator Heinsohn: "1v4! Meng broke through the Pacers' four-man defense and put the ball into the basket! I know that at this moment, the audience in front of the TV are all marveling at his physical talent, but I want to say something different. This guy's basketball IQ is really too high! He can see the best breakthrough route at a glance, which is why his one-stop breakthrough always looks so easy!"

As a legendary Celtics player, Heinsohn analyzed Meng Jin's move from a most professional perspective.

Mike German next to him added: "This is why I like watching him play. His offense is very clean, just like playing billiards. He looks at the balls on the table and knows how to hit them. He never drags his feet."

While the two commentators were chatting, Fleming scored two points with a mid-range shot.

46:42.

After the ball went in, four Pacers players quickly returned to the defensive half court, leaving only John Long to harass Vincent in the backcourt.

John Long made a big move, trying to stop Vincent from passing the ball quickly.

Vincent had no choice but to turn around and control the ball across half court.

The Bulls once again fell into a positional offense.

Meng Jin and Vincent passed the ball to each other, and Jordan ran to the corner. Meng Jin was in a hot state, and Jordan took the initiative to help him open up offensive space. In Jordan's eyes, winning is always the first priority. He also cares about statistics, but they have to come after victory.

Meng Jin got the ball and immediately broke through, but Chuck Person pushed him hard.

"I'm crying, I can see from your expression that you're about to cry."

"You want to find your mother? Find her and let her watch me beat you up!"

"Do you know why you can't get through? Because you're too weak, rookie!"

Chuck Person is definitely a talent. He can use his hands and mouth at the same time, and he can mess with your mentality while defending.

Meng Jin used all his strength to hit Chuck Person hard.

The impact was so strong that even the fans in the third row of the stands could hear it!

Chuck Person could have fallen back, but he didn't, thinking it was a sign of weakness, even though it would have allowed Meng Jin to be fouled. After the collision, Dave Korsin ran out to cover for Meng Jin.

Meng Jin and Chuck Person fought for a long time, and there were only 12 seconds left in the offensive round.

As soon as Dav Korsin ran to the free throw line, an outrageous scene happened. Meng Jin started from outside the three-point line!
It was not the first time that Meng Jin started from outside the three-point line, but before that he was always in a one-man show throughout the game and his speed was already fully up.

This round he started from where he was, and what was even more outrageous was that his first step was sideways!

No one knew what Meng Jin was going to do.

No matter how perverted you are, you can't get into the basket like this, right?

Chuck Person was quite proud of himself. He felt that Meng Jin's mentality had been ruined by him and he started to play randomly.

Meng Jin took his second step to a position within three-pointers on the right side.

Then stay in the air and attack!
"boom!"

The basketball hit the top of the backboard and bounced out.

If you look at it from the shooting angle, the ball was extremely off, but Meng Jin's purpose was not to shoot!
By the time Chuck Person reacted, Meng Jin had already slipped into the penalty area right under his nose.

The Pacers only had Herb Williams left in the paint, and center Stipanovic followed Korsin to the free throw line.

Herb Williams was facing the basket, and just as he was waiting to grab the defensive rebound, there was a sudden huge impact from behind.

Chuck Person felt filled with guilt when he saw this scene. If he hadn't missed the man completely, his brothers in the inside wouldn't have been tragically attacked by Meng Jin from behind.

"Bang!!!"

Meng Jin took the ball in the air and smashed it directly inside!

Throw yourself and buckle!

"Incredible! Incredible! What can I say? What else can I say? What the hell can I say?" commentator Mike German roared incoherently.

Heinsohn: "Dear audience, to be honest, if Mike German hadn't pulled me just now, I would have jumped out of my seat!"

Mike German calmed down a little and shook his head: "Meng was crazy with his dunks tonight. He brought a wonderful Christmas night to all the viewers in front of the TV, except for the Pacers fans."

Meng Jin once again brought some small shock to the American people in the 80s.

However, the home fans did not know at this time that a bigger shock would come in the next round.

While Pacers coach Ramsey was still thinking about whether to call a timeout, the Pacers made a mistake.

Jordan stole the ball from John Long from the front.

The basketball flew toward the boundary and Jordan made a diving save.

Although he was not in good shape tonight, Jordan did not slack off and tried his best on the defensive end.

The ball flew into the air, and Chuck Person and Meng Jin jumped at the same time!

Chuck Person had reached the top, and Meng Jin was still rising. Meng Jin waved his hand and grabbed the basketball. At this time, Chuck Person was just under Meng Jin's armpit.

Chuck Person is glad that he doesn't have Michael Jordan's habit of sticking out his tongue when playing basketball, otherwise his mouth would be dirty now.

After landing, Meng Jin continued to advance alone.

Before Meng Jin crossed half court, some Pacers fans had already started covering their eyes.

For the Pacers, every time he had the ball, something bad happened.

As it turned out, the fans' hunch was correct.

Meng Jin suddenly accelerated during the counterattack. Facing Herb Williams' defense, he first took a step to the right, then grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it over Herb Williams' head while jumping a big step to the left.

Here it comes! Here comes his Eurostep!

"Bang!"

Classic footwork, classic one-arm dunk finish!
The referee put the whistle to his lips, hesitated for a moment and then put it down.

Nope.

Two points valid!

At this moment, not to mention the Pacers players, even the Bulls players were surprised.

Jordan was stunned. He stared at the referee for a few seconds before making sure that the referee's whistle was not broken.

The Pacers players were very emotional. They surrounded the referee and asked him to change the call.

At this time, Meng Jin stepped forward. He rushed into the crowd alone and shouted, "Please respect the referee's decision!"

After that, Meng Jin took out his mysterious booklet again: "Come on, referee, explain the rules of traveling to these basketball beginners!"

The referee read the part that Meng Jin had marked, but the Pacers players did not appreciate it. They didn't care about the rules. They just knew that no one had ever used such a step when playing basketball since they were young.

In the audience, many Pacers fans expressed their dissatisfaction by shouting.

"Cheating! This is definitely cheating!"

"Dr. Naismith would not allow such a step!"

"Fuck referee! How much did he pay this kid?"

The scolding was harsh, but Meng Jin didn't care. The first time was always more painful. After he used this kind of footwork a few more times on the court, they would get used to it and even enjoy it.
