Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 42 Jordan: I suspect you are disgusting me!

North Carolina, Charlotte, one of the host cities of the NCAA National Championship, North Carolina hotel.

Michael Jordan was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked quite relaxed and contented.

"Mike, Mike"

A sound, from far to near, quickly reached his ears.

He instantly recognized whose voice it came from.

Sam Perkins.

Sure enough, just two seconds later, Perkins' figure appeared in his room, looking at him with sweat on his face and holding several newspapers in his hand.

"Is something wrong, Sam?"

Jordan just glanced at Perkins and returned his gaze to the ceiling, as if there was something interesting up there that kept him lingering.

"Your opponent has appeared."

"My opponent?"

The senior brother's words finally caused some disturbance in his heart, and he said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about, Sam?"

"Where do I get my opponent?"

"In other words, I have no opponent at all."

The word opponent had never existed in his dictionary during his entire three-year college career.

It's not that there aren't people as strong as him, but the NCAA doesn't want to talk about this.

This is a word that will only be exaggerated by the media in the official professional league.

In the NCAA league, no matter what player they are or how strong they are, they only serve and play for the team, focusing more on the team rather than individual performance.

For example, North Carolina where they are located.

Their head coach, Dean Smith, is a more team-oriented head coach.

Any player must serve the team's tactics and cannot be above the team.

That's why Jordan felt baffled by Perkins' words.

"No?" Sam Perkins leaned over disapprovingly and threw the newspaper in his hand to him, "Let's take a look. The report above is not what you said."

"what?"

Jordan finally stood up.

He sat up straight, picked up the newspaper on the quilt, followed what the other party said, turned to the sports section, and started reading.

The first thing that caught his eye was an eye-catching headline:
"Change the track and start again, Su Wen caused shock again!"

Ok?
This headline made Jordan look puzzled. He expressed his disgust at ESPN's mysterious news headlines and at the same time aroused his curiosity.

What to replace the track?
What's next?
what with what?
The content of the entire report is a lot and at the same time very simple!
First, he praised Su Wen's outstanding performance at the fifth position in Auburn University's lineup, and then changed the subject and explained that the latter suddenly changed his position to the second and third positions in last night's game.

In the process of playing this position, he swept away the rumors in major reports that he could not shoot. Suddenly, Long Jinghu violently showed off his shooting ability, showing an extremely shocking shooting level.

12 for 9?
Good efficiency!

Jordan secretly affirmed Su Wen's performance, then looked up at Perkins, "Then what?"

He asked first, and then said to himself: "Okay!"

"From the fifth position to the second position, such a sudden change of position is really magical. He also played a good performance, but what happens next?"

Are there too few games where I have performed like this?Jordan said in his heart.

There was no mention of the word 'opponent' in this report, let alone his so-called 'opponent'.

Obviously, this is just wishful thinking by Perkins.

So, this guy is here to irritate me?

Jordan smiled disdainfully. What guy do I need to stimulate my opponent?

The only person who can be my opponent is Dean Smith, our head coach!

Seeing his disapproval and contempt, Perkins laughed and said, "Don't you think this guy is very interesting?"

"It's interesting, so what?" Jordan asked again casually.

"I think he will probably become your opponent when he enters the NBA in the future." Perkins said confidently: "I have a hunch."

Jordan disagreed and sneered: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Sam, I don't even know what I will be like when I enter the NBA, and you just arranged an opponent for me?"

"Why not?" Perkins replied matter-of-factly: "If such an opponent appeared, wouldn't you be more motivated?"

“Damn motivation!”

Jordan was too lazy to listen to his continued nonsense and threw the newspaper back, "I don't need any motivation!"

"He's not qualified to be my motivation!"

I have played high-quality games for three years. What qualifications does a freshman have to be my motivation right away?
Has his hair grown back?

On March 3, the fourth game day of the NCAA National Championship officially begins.

Because the University of North Carolina is close to Charlotte, it has become half of their home court.

Sitting on their home court, they faced tonight's opponent, a very powerful team, the University of Kentucky.

Although this team has lost all three games to Auburn University, there is no contempt for North Carolina.

Just because the opponent has powerful inside twin towers.As for Jordan himself, he had long forgotten about his 'opponent' and Su Wen, and was preparing for the battle with all his strength.

The game started soon. Dean Smith deployed offensive tactics against the Kentucky Twin Towers before the game, which was to lead the Twin Towers out and win with speed.

In layman's terms, it means pulling two big opponents out for military training.

This is how they arranged it, and this is how it was executed.

In the first few minutes of the game, Jordan was like walking a dog, rushing into the paint and pulling out, hanging Sam Bowie, and then cooperated with his teammates' inside attacks to help the team score consecutively.

When Kentucky called a timeout and locked horns with them in the paint, Jordan began to use his off-the-ball movement to stretch the opponent's defense and cut into the basket to score.

Under Jordan's thorough execution of tactics, the University of North Carolina's offensive cooperation became more and more tacit, like a precision-operating machine, each performing its own duties and constantly suppressing the opponent.

Defensively, they are like mad dogs, biting their opponents.

At the end of the first half, they led their opponents by 11 points with their more skillful tactical coordination and better mobility.

45:34
Although Jordan only made 9 of 5 shots, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, his mentality was very stable after seeing his team leading by so much.

In contrast, the University of Kentucky is a bit panicked.

In the first half, they tried their best to use their own tactical characteristics, but they were still broken down and eaten away by the North Carolina gang one by one, and they were unable to form effective offensive coordination.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

The University of Kentucky, which had finally adjusted its mentality, took the field boldly with the fighting spirit inspired by coach Joe Hall.

Unexpectedly, in the first few rounds of the game, North Carolina suddenly picked up the speed, constantly pushed the offensive rhythm, and wildly interspersed their defensive formations.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's jersey was North Carolina blue with the name of the North Carolina school printed on it in English, they would really have the illusion that they were playing Auburn University.

Even Jordan was very clever. After once pulling Bowie out of the perimeter and rushing to the basket to score, he somehow finally thought of Su Wen. Passing by Bowie, he suddenly said: "Hey, brother, that Su Wen , did you also hit you like I did tonight?"

Bowie was stunned at first, and then became furious.

You call me your brother, but your thoughts are so vicious?

You actually want to bring back my tragic memories?
Don't you know those were my darkest moments?

It's a pity that he can only be furious and unable to punch the opponent on the court.

North Carolina's sudden change had a great effect. With the continuous rapid offensive advancement, the University of Kentucky's defense was like a sieve leaking air everywhere, and the defensive formation was completely destroyed.

As a last resort, Joe Hall asked for a timeout again, interrupting the opponent's momentum.

Fortunately, they had played Auburn University three times before and were used to the rapidity of this kind of run-and-gun tactics. They quickly calmed down and began to play steadily.

In the next 10 minutes of the game, they finally relied on their strong inside line to hit the ball more and more smoothly, and hit a wave of 14:5 offensive climax.

However, the hole in front of them was too big, and it was difficult for them to recover the points difference for a while.

In the end, they lost 71:79 by 8 points and were eliminated.

North Carolina also relied on its tenacious defense in the last few minutes to successfully hold on to its advantage and advance to the quarterfinals.

Their next opponent is Virginia State, which also strangled Syracuse University.

Back in the locker room, Jordan and others washed themselves up, put on clean clothes, and returned to their hotel.

But to his displeasure, Sam Perkins entered the room first, turned on the television, and then quickly switched to ESPN.

"you are"

Jordan stared at Perkins closely, a little red-hot, and felt very baffled.

"I want to watch the news, Mike." Perkins laughed, ignoring his murderous look.

At this time, the voice of the ESPN sports channel news anchor came from the TV.

"Just half an hour ago, a highlight battle of the NCAA national championship just came to an end."

"Auburn University from Alabama fought fiercely for 40 minutes and finally defeated the University of Louisville 83:66 with a 17-point advantage and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals."

"In this game, Su, who had a great performance in the second position for the first time in the last game, once again performed outstandingly. In 31 minutes of playing time, he made 20 of 13 shots, 6 of 4 free throws, and scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 rebounds. Comprehensive data of assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.”

"Two consecutive 30+ performances once again proved his strength at the second position. He can perform well regardless of his position inside or outside."

Seeing this, Sam Perkins glanced at Jordan quietly, stood up pretendingly, and exclaimed, "Aww, another 30+? What a great guy!"

Jordan looked at the footage of Su Wen on the TV, and the boss was unhappy.

Are you disgusting me?
"go out!"

He forcibly turned off the TV, kicked Perkins out, and then closed the door forcefully.

"I don't want to see this stuff."

"baffling!"

After a while, when there was no more noise outside, Perkins seemed to have left. He hesitated, then turned on the TV again, his eyes fixed on him and his brows furrowed.

At this time, it was time for on-site interviews with reporters. Su Wen accepted questions and Jordan listened intently.

"We were in good shape tonight, or rather, we have always been in good shape!"

"My performance? Oh no, my performance is not important. What is important is that we played our own style and executed our tactics very well."

"Thanks to my teammates, the coaching staff, and the entire team for allowing me to stand on the stage of the top eight in the country!"

"What? Am I too humble? Oh no, everything I said is the truth!"

"This year's draft? Yes, there is a high probability that I will participate in this year's draft."
