NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 172 The Craziest Party
"Rain Man Meng Jin? These guys can come up with all kinds of nicknames." Meng Jin threw the newspaper in his hand aside after saying this. He knew about his new nickname the next day.

First it was the answer and then it was Rain Man. Meng Jin felt that if he continued playing for a few more years, he would probably have to bear those nicknames of the younger generations.

"Damn, why are all your nicknames so nice? Look at the shitty nicknames the media gave me!" Grant complained.

"Isn't cobra good?" Meng Jin said.

"I don't like it. It's not elegant or domineering enough. That's not the point. The point is that this nickname is fucking shared. They also call James Worthy Cobra! Are these reporters so lazy?"

After Grant finished speaking, Meng Jin was a little overwhelmed, but who could blame them for having such obvious physical features and wearing glasses when playing basketball?
"In the next game we will play the Lakers. All you have to do is make some tough remarks before the game and then beat James Worthy during the game, and this nickname will be yours alone," Meng Jin joked.

"Not interested!" Grant said.

Meng Jin suddenly had an idea and said, "Don't you like the nickname Cobra? I've thought of a new nickname for you."

"What nickname?" Grant asked.

"It's also related to snakes, the black mamba." Meng Jin said.

"What the hell? I've never heard of it!" Grant cursed.

"A kind of extremely poisonous snake that can kill a person with one blow," Meng Jin explained.

"Sounds deadly?" Grant said.

"It's more than what it sounds like," Meng Jin said.

Grant nodded and said, "Next time a reporter calls me Cobra, I will retort that I am Black Mamba. To be honest, I don't think this nickname is the same, but at least I don't have to share the same nickname with James Worthy." After saying that, Grant turned around and went back to training.

The February schedule is a test for the Bulls. Each game is more difficult than the last. If they are not careful, they will suffer a series of losses.

On February 2, after arriving in Los Angeles, Meng Jin received a call from Magic Johnson.

Magic Johnson invited Meng Jin to his party, and Meng Jin gladly accepted. Although Magic Johnson is a smiling tiger on the court, he is quite nice to be a drinking buddy off the court. He knows how to have fun, and attending his party will definitely be a new experience.

Meng Jin is now immune to the virus and is incredibly strong, so he has no concerns about his health.

In essence, Meng Jin and Magic Johnson are the same type of people. They are both players who play crazily off the court and fight hard on the court.

"Welcome to the magician's paradise!"

When Meng Jin walked into the door, Magic Johnson showed his big white teeth and opened his arms to welcome him.

The party was held in a luxurious villa in Beverly Hills, which was equipped with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, bar, dance hall, home theater, and more than a dozen guest rooms. It could be said that it had everything.

“Is there a basketball hoop here?”

As soon as Meng Jin opened his mouth, Magic Johnson was stunned. I have everything to play with here, why are you asking if I have a basketball hoop?

Two seconds later, Magic said, "You want to play basketball?"

Meng Jin shook his head and said, "I'm not playing basketball, I just want to dunk to stretch my muscles."

Ever since he tasted the sweetness of dunking at a party hosted by Dr. Buss, Meng Jin would always ask if there were basketball hoops every time he went to a party.

"No! There's nothing like that at Magic's party! That's work, and here we just have fun!" Magic Johnson shouted in a joking tone.

Then, Magic Johnson pulled Meng Jin into the room, where various men and women had already gathered. The party had not officially started yet, but the air was already filled with the smell of hormones, as if a war was about to break out.

"There is only one requirement for coming to my party. Release your nature, release your desires, and be a primitive person!"

Meng Jin smiled and said, "I like this feeling."

Magic Johnson began to randomly introduce the women around him to Meng Jin, including models, child actors, striptease performers, university teachers, doctors, and clerks. Magic Johnson had only one criterion for selecting people, and that was beauty and hotness. He did not care about the occupations of these women.

These women were displayed in front of Meng Jin like commodities. Many of them were drooling over him. The women who came to this party were all eager to have something happen with the celebrities.

In a flash, Johnson disappeared like magic, as he had other guests to entertain.

Meng Jin didn't care. He took a glass of champagne and chatted with a university teacher next to him. Soon, the lights dimmed and dynamic music suddenly sounded!
"The party has begun." The university professor next to Meng Jin clinked glasses with him.

Magic Johnson rushed down the stairs wearing a mask and then he shouted: "The next show is a sexy chase!"

It was the first time Meng Jin heard this term and he didn't understand what it meant.

But the others were very excited, many of them were shouting, and the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak in an instant.

As soon as Meng Jin saw the atmosphere, he knew that "Sexy Chase" must be an exciting game. He did not ask the people around him what "Sexy Chase" was, as this would make him look like a novice.

Then, the crowd began to move, and the magician took the microphone and asked loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?"

"Next is a ten-second countdown, and then the ladies start running. After ten seconds, it's time for the gentlemen to perform!"

After hearing this, Meng Jin roughly understood what the so-called "erotic pursuit" meant.

Meng Jin couldn't help but sigh that these people were too perverted and too crazy!

Meng Jin originally thought that he was a playboy who had seen countless women and many situations.

But he felt like a novice in front of the magician.

"10!"

When Magic Johnson called out the first countdown, the university professor who had just chatted with Meng Jin looked at Meng Jin with a charming look and said, "I'll run to the swimming pool and wait for you there."

This is cheating, but it is allowed at Magic Johnson's party. There are no rules at Magic Johnson's party. Perhaps the only rule is that Magic Johnson does not allow anyone to be idle. Everyone must move!

Then, the university professor took off her high heels and ran forward, showing her contrasting and wild side.

……

……

"It's really crazy, it's like a primitive cross-breeding party."

The next day, after Meng Jin described the party scene to Grant, Grant shouted out loud.

Grant's voice was filled with surprise, envy, and dissatisfaction. He continued, "Can you call me for this kind of good thing next time?"

Meng Jin spread his hands and said, "You have to tell the magician that this is his party."

Grant clenched his fists. "Fuck! These successful people are so disgusting. I really want to be a successful person too."

Meng Jin patted Grant on the head and said, "Let's think about how to play well in tonight's game first." In the evening, during the warm-up phase, Meng Jin did not greet Magic Johnson, but just nodded and smiled at him. After all, the two had just met more than ten hours ago.

After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired, the Lakers' record was better than last season. The 42-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played the role of a stabilizing force in the team, but to some extent he also slowed down the team's offensive rhythm.

Players from both teams high-fived each other in the center circle and the game began.

Cartwright was the first to get the basketball in the jump ball, and John Paxson protected the ball across half court while observing Meng Jin's movement.

Meng Jin stopped at the right elbow area, turned sideways and used his left hand to hold AC Green, then opened his right hand, signaling John Paxson to pass the ball.

As soon as the ball was handed to Meng Jin, AC-Green immediately pressed the intercom to call for reinforcements.

"Someone come, someone come!"

Magic Johnson immediately surrounded him without any hesitation. This was a targeted defensive tactic arranged by Pat Riley at the beginning of the game. All teams in the league knew that the Bulls would let Meng Jin grab the start.

Meng Jin did not panic. He grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it above his head.

Meng Jin did not rush to deal with it. He waited until Magic Johnson was about to run in front of him before he threw the ball out to help his teammates create shooting opportunities to the greatest extent.

Byron Scott makes up the defense in front of John Paxson.

John Paxson has a high basketball IQ. He didn't shoot hard. Instead, he chose a very smart sideways pass to Jordan.

Jordan shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"Bang!"

There was a sound of iron, and it was a bit crooked.

You know, this is a big open opportunity. This year, Jordan signed up for the three-point contest, but he couldn't make this kind of shot. Meng Jin can basically predict his performance during the All-Star Weekend.
After Magic Johnson got the ball, he bent his body and moved forward quickly, but his speed was not good and his legs looked a little weak.

The magician fought until 4 a.m. last night. It is impossible to say that there was no impact, but he was not afraid at all, because Meng Jin fought until morning. At a.m., there were still sounds of ghosts howling from Meng Jin's room.

He felt that although his legs were weak, Meng Jin was not much better.

After getting into position, Magic Johnson faced Meng Jin directly. When he saw Meng Jin's face, he lost his desire to attack. In last season's finals, Meng Jin made Magic Johnson suffer a lot. However, Magic Johnson does not rely on scoring to drive the whole team.

Magic Johnson passed the ball to Michael Thompson, and Meng Jin took a step back, so he could either assist in defense or block Magic Johnson.

Michael Thompson took one dribble and passed the ball back to Magic Johnson.

The magician made a fake shot, but Meng Jin remained unmoved.

Meng Jin directly let Magic Johnson take a step back. He was very confident in Magic Johnson's three-pointer. Magic Johnson directly raised his hand and shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

The basketball goes hollow into the net.

Magic Johnson has changed a lot this season. He has worked hard on his shooting and increased his three-point attempts per game.

"Easy, too easy." Magic Johnson said to Meng Jin, shaking his head.

Meng Jin was not to be outdone and shot back, "You practiced shooting all night yesterday. It's a bit unreasonable if you still miss."

At the beginning of the game, the atmosphere between the two was still relaxed.

During the Bulls' offensive round, AC Green blocked Meng Jin again.

Meng Jin defended against Magic, but Magic did not defend against Meng Jin. First, it consumed a lot of physical energy, and second, he had little confidence in his defense. If he could not defend, the scene would be too ugly.

Meng Jin pulled to the weak side to attract the defense's attention, and Paxson passed the ball to Cartwright.

Cartwright backed up and turned and ran into James Worthy.

James Worthy made a timely defensive move, starting from Cartwright's blind spot and then making a clean cut.

James Worthy didn't stick to the ball, and immediately passed it to Magic Johnson after stealing it.

All the Lakers players started running. Magic Johnson took one step from the free throw line to collect the ball, then threw the ball back with a broad vision and graceful movements.

James Worthy followed up with a layup. He and Magic Johnson had a great understanding and knew long ago that Magic Johnson would pass the ball. He did not need to make any adjustments or preparations after receiving the ball.

The Los Angeles Lakers scored 5 points in a row at the beginning of the game, which was a bad sign for the Bulls. John Paxson was a little hesitant in this round, hesitating at the top of the arc for ten seconds, not knowing who to pass to.

Jordan ran to the free throw line to catch the ball.

After getting the ball, Jordan turned around and shot, but Magic Johnson blocked him from the side, blocking Jordan's shooting space.

Jordan was a bit careless in his jump and ignored the magician next to him.

The biggest talent in basketball games is still height. Magic Johnson's static talent is much better than Jordan's. Jordan was forced to do a pull-up in the air, but still did not shoot. He did not feel very good and chose to pass the ball after staying in the air.

After receiving the ball outside the three-point line on the wing, Meng Jin took a step inside and made a forced shot directly in front of AC Green.

"Shh!"

A solid hit.

AC-Green, the legendary virgin, can only guarantee that he will not ejaculate, but he cannot guarantee that Meng Jin will not ejaculate.

The Lakers attacked in a position. Magic Johnson passed the ball first, then received the ball outside the paint and tried to back-up Meng Jin. He headed the ball twice and easily entered the penalty area.

Meng Jin did not fight against Magic Johnson with all his strength. This was a trap set by Meng Jin. He let Magic Johnson in, waited until the position was deeper to lure Magic Johnson to shoot, and then blocked the shot.

It was a good plan, but Magic Johnson sensed the danger in advance. He did not dribble or shoot, but chose a long transfer to AC Green outside the three-point line on the other side.

AC Green took the ball and shot a three-pointer. The ball bounced out. Magic Johnson and Jordan fought for it. Meng Jin picked up the ball behind them, caught it and dribbled forward.

There was no one defending Meng Jin before the center circle. Meng Jin gradually increased his speed. AC Green blocked him one step outside the three-point line, but it was difficult to defend Meng Jin at this time.

Meng Jin made a signature push and changed direction, passing AC Green and starting directly!
The first step is to reach the top of the arc, and the second step is to jump directly from the free throw line.

Meng Jin often starts from places where no one thinks he will start, without any warning, and is difficult to guard against.

Before anyone could react, Meng came in with a long, low-altitude glide flight and then made a layup.

Lakers commentator Chick Hearn couldn't help but sigh: "I have seen many fast break masters, but Meng is definitely unique. He can always score the ball in a counterattack in an unexpected way."
