NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 18 Before You Win the Slam Dunk Championship with This Move

Chapter 18 Before you win the slam dunk championship with this trick.
"Damn, is this the superstar coming?"

As soon as Meng Jin entered the stadium, he caused dissatisfaction among some people.

They couldn't stand Meng Jin's arrogance as he wore gold-rimmed glasses, a fine suit, and was followed by a team.

It's more jealousy than dissatisfaction.

Meng Jin has qualifications that 99% of the candidates do not have.

In the stadium, Meng Jin saw some familiar faces, including Scottie Pippen and Bogues.

Pippen took the initiative to come up and greet Meng Jin. When Boggs saw Meng Jin, he took a detour without hesitation.

Meng Jin beat him badly in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, which is the biggest shadow in Boggs' basketball career so far.

"Hey! Meng, nice to see you again!" Pippen smiled and shook hands with Meng Jin.

"Scottie, how have you been recently?" Meng Jin responded.

"Everything went well. Several NBA teams thought my performance at the Portsmouth Invitational was good and invited me to try out."

"Good luck to you." Meng Jin shook hands with Pippen again.

After the two exchanged greetings, Pippen noticed the team around Meng Jin.

"Is this... your father?" Pippen asked, pointing at Falk.

"This is my agent, David."

After Meng Jin's introduction, Falk politely took the initiative to greet Pippen: "Hello, Scottie."

"Who are these two?"

"My trainer." Meng Jin's answer was simple and clear.

Pippen's head was buzzing. What kind of family is this? They even have a personal trainer?

Finally, Pippen pointed to the young woman behind Meng Jin and said, "This must be your girlfriend, right?"

Pippen's tone regained some confidence, and he was sure that he would not ask the wrong question this time.

Meng Jin frowned: "This is my bitch."

Pippen: ???
Can this be said so directly?

Pippen stood there for three seconds. He was still a country boy and had never seen many situations.

Before, Pippen felt that he and Meng Jin were not from the same world, but now he feels that they are not even in the same universe.

"We can train together during this period." Meng Jin said while hugging Pippen.

Pippen glanced at the trainer and whispered, "Will there be a charge?"

Meng Jin laughed: "Yes, but I've already paid for it."

"Meng, thank you for the invitation. I'd love to join you."

After hearing this, Pippen readily agreed that everything was fine as long as it didn't cost any money.

If the topic of money comes up, Pippen will definitely turn around and leave. Pippen has 12 brothers and sisters in his family, and the budget is barely enough to cover the cost, let alone the trainer fees.

"By the way, Meng, did you participate in the dunk contest?" Pippen turned back as if he suddenly remembered something before leaving.

"What the hell?" Meng Jin asked puzzledly.

Meng Jin thought that the Hawaii All-Star Game was just a name, but he didn't expect it to be a real All-Star game.

"You have been invited by the official. I think it is unnecessary to participate in this kind of dunk contest. It is better to save your energy for the competition." Falk said on the side.

"Why not? Tell them I'm going to dunk."

Meng Jin felt that this was an opportunity to show off, and he didn't want to give up any opportunity to show off before the end of the draft.

Meng Jin felt that with his creativity as a time traveler, it would be too easy to win the dunk contest in the 80s. He only needed to make a few moves.

"Come on, I'll go tell them that the dunk contest starts this afternoon." Falk shrugged.

In the morning, the teams were divided into groups. The format of the Hawaii All-Star Game was similar to that of the Portsmouth Invitational, but Meng Jin was not so lucky this time. Not only was he not assigned to the same group as Pippen, he didn't even know anyone on the team.

You should know that although there are no rookies predicted to be lottery picks, there are many players predicted to be first-round picks, including some players Meng Jin is familiar with.

In addition to Pippen and Bogues, Meng Jin also saw Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson and Reggie Lewis.

At this time, Reggie Miller's estimated draft pick was only in the middle to late first round, and all scouts thought he was too thin and his physical talent was too average.

A big reason why Boggs fell out of the lottery zone was his performance in Portsmouth. It can be said that Meng Jin beat him down 10 picks in one game. No wonder he turned around and left when he saw Meng Jin today.

Soon it was time for the afternoon dunk contest.

The scale of this dunk contest is very small, with only a few hundred spectators besides players, coaches and scouts.

The rules are also very simple. Each person will be deducted two points in the first round, and the two people with the highest scores will enter the finals.

Meng Jin was the last one to appear in the first round. After observing the dunks of the first three players including Pippen, Meng Jin had only one feeling.

ordinary.

Too ordinary.

The most difficult dunk is the one that is thrown to the ground and then dunked.

But it's not surprising. In 1987, the players' physical fitness was not developed and their creativity was insufficient. Even the NBA's dunk contest didn't have any innovative dunking moves, let alone this small event.

Meng Jin's simple and crude super windmill directly blew up the whole audience!
Everyone was amazed, how did this guy manage to be both graceful and violent?
To be honest, it’s not easy to combine the two into one.

Requires jumping height plus strength.

Meng Jin has both of these attributes at the top level, so it is not difficult for him to make a slam dunk.

For the second dunk, Meng Jin did a 360-degree turn and slammed it with both hands.

Neither of the two dunks was very creative. Meng Jin felt that he didn't need to think of anything fancy. Facing an opponent of this level, he could win with some simple and rough dunks.

After all, the best player among the opponents was Pippen.

Meng Jin's thinking was not to look down on Pippen. Pippen's jumping height was also amazing, but his limbs were not stretched enough when he dunked. In terms of elegance, he was still a long way behind Meng Jin.

After the judges gave their scores, Meng Jin and Pippen entered the finals.

Meng Jin's first dunk in the final dropped everyone's jaw.

Meng Jin retreated to near half court, then grabbed the ball with one hand, ran up, and jumped from the free throw line.

That’s right, Meng came in and dunked from the free throw line.

"BOOM!"

When Meng Jin landed, the whole audience was boiling.

Everyone looked at Meng Jin as if he were a monster.

Even Pippen, the opponent, couldn't help but mutter, "Did Superman just come?"

Pippen's words also reflected the thoughts of everyone present.

Meng Jin's second dunk was a reverse dunk from the baseline.

Not many people were paying attention to this dunk. Everyone was still immersed in Meng Jin's superman-like dunk from the free throw line.

In the end, Meng Jin won the dunk contest championship without any suspense.
