So I am the god of basketball?

Chapter 114 His best brother beat his most admired idol into leg cramps!

Phil Jackson was so angry that he didn't dare to express his anger.

Jordan continued his form from the previous game. In his impression, when Jordan showed such form, there were really few teams that could withstand the Bulls' offensive.

But he didn't expect that Jordan was in such ferocious form that Meng Lang could keep up with his scoring rhythm.

Even across the league, there are very few players who can do that.

What's even more exaggerated is...

Meng Lang not only kept up with Jordan's scoring momentum, but also had a tendency to suppress him.

This……

is that true?

Phil Jackson had never seen the 18-year-old Meng Lang who competed against Jordan in the training camp, so at this moment, his eyes were full of shock.

He wanted to call a timeout to interrupt Meng Lang's momentum, but seeing Jordan asking for the ball directly from the backcourt without saying a word, he also knew that he absolutely couldn't call a timeout at this moment.

Because, Jordan's competitive spirit is completely up!

Meng Lang still tried his best to provide enough confrontation to make Jordan's every move as difficult as possible.

But there is a very big disadvantage between him and Jordan:

strength!

In all aspects of core strength, Meng Lang is no match for Jordan. He relies solely on his resilience to fight. As long as the difference in explosive power is large enough, Jordan can easily create space with the ball.

This is also the reason why he could only watch Jordan score goals even though he was not out of position defensively.

There was no problem with his defensive position, but he did not give Jordan enough confrontation to interfere with his shooting rhythm. This kind of defense has no impact on Jordan, it can only be said that it has no impact at all.

Meng Lang is also aware of this situation, so he tries to provide enough interference before continuing the confrontation to delay Jordan's entry into the offensive rhythm and allow him to consume more physical energy. This is also a way of defense, and may not be effective for one or two rounds.

But if it continues, a little will add up, and the consumption of physical energy will be considerable!

Don't forget, Meng Lang has been using off-the-ball running to consume his physical energy on the offensive end... - Jordan's physical fitness is definitely a problem. After a few off-the-ball running at the beginning of the game, his eager look changed. It can be seen.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, Meng Lang is now implementing the "Michael tactic"!

So far in this game, the only thing Meng Lang is sure of is:

His physical fitness is better than Jordan!

Then just endure it and see who can't hold it any longer first!

In this way, the first quarter ended quickly. Meng Lang and Jordan played the entire first quarter.

Chuck Daly originally wanted to replace Meng Lang, but the look in his eyes from Meng Lang prevented him from doing so. The third move of the "Stay Jordan" tactic:

If necessary, Meng Lang will play the full 48 minutes in this game!

Regarding his provocation against Jordan, as long as he does not end the game, Jordan will definitely not end the game.

Facts have proved that he did achieve such a hatred value.

He didn't quit, and Jordan refused to quit.

Because Jordan knew very well that if he chose to sit off the court, this little bitch would definitely say some trash talk to him that he couldn't stand every time he passed by. Now that he has guessed what this guy will do, it is naturally impossible for Jordan to let him do it!

After the first quarter, Jordan scored 14 points, and Meng Lang's score was even higher, he scored 17 points.

The number of goals scored by both men is actually the same:

6 times, but Meng Lang hit 2 more three-pointers than Jordan!

The Magic lead with an 8-point advantage.

Hardaway successfully matched up with Pippen. Meng Lang scored 3 more points than Jordan. The remaining 5-point lead was due to the Magic's inside advantage.

And if Jordan can't beat Meng Lang, then the result of this game is basically determined!

Jordan took this situation seriously.

He kept wiping his sweat with a towel, but he still couldn't stop the sweat from appearing.

It can be seen how much physical energy he consumed in the first quarter.

But it's no wonder that in the first quarter, he continued to play singles, coupled with the constant pursuit of Meng Lang, the physical exertion was continuous. Don't forget, he just scored 55 points in the last game, and this game was only 2 days away from the last game.

Phil Jackson had already seen his opponent's intention, and he asked: "Michael, do you need to let Scotty defend that Chinese kid?"

If Pippen pursues the defense and Jordan continues to invest in the offensive end, he might be able to suppress the kid's offensive state. but……

Isn't this guy in great shape tonight?

Is it possible to really score 50 points on top of Michael's head?

Mike Breen also mentioned this: "Dream has already scored 17 points. According to this momentum, he is really likely to score 50 points! Under Michael's defense..."

When he said this, Brin's voice trembled slightly.

He really didn't expect that Meng Lang would be able to perform in such a good state at the beginning.

You know, he made such remarks before the game. With Jordan's temper, how could he not give him some color? I'm afraid he tried his best from the beginning.

In fact, it can be seen from Jordan's defensive state that he did try his best.

Can……

I just can't guard against Meng Lang!

Meng Lang's state tonight is really awesome!

This explosive state gave Mike Breen a sense of deja vu.

Meng Lang has had this kind of explosive scoring power in the past, and more than once. In his memory, there were two times. One was against the Seattle SuperSonics in the regular season last season, and the other was in Game 2 of the Finals. Section 6.

But although Meng Lang was in this state not just once, but...

It's really surprising to see him perform in such a state against Jordan.

Is this guy really going to create a new era?

When Meng Lang came off the court, Hardaway, who had been sitting on the court for two minutes, handed him a towel to wipe his sweat. Meng Lang threw the towel back into his hand: "Why are you wiping it? You didn't even sweat from beating Michael, right?"

Hardaway: ...

The reporter accompanying the team next to him smiled and recorded Meng Lang's saucy words.

After the pretense competition was over, Meng Lang, who felt a burst of pleasure all over his body, took the towel again and wiped it on randomly. When he was waiting for Chuck Daly to lay out his tactics, he said: "Let me come in as soon as the second quarter starts! "

At the end of the first quarter, he specifically observed Jordan's status, and I have to say that this "suffering Jordan" tactic was very effective. The obviously rising and falling chest showed the pressure he put on both offense and defense in the first quarter, which accumulated and successfully affected Jordan's physical fitness.

Next, of course, we have to continue to exert our strength and force this guy from the field to the field as soon as possible!

Have a great time tonight!

"beep!"

The buzzer sounds and the second quarter is about to begin.

Jordan looked at the players on the Magic team and almost cursed:

This little bitch is so mean!

Because he suddenly saw Meng Lang's figure among them.

He still didn't understand why Meng Lang did this?

This is obviously because he scored 55 points in the last game and knew that his physical fitness had not fully recovered, so he used his physical fitness to a crazy extent!

He chose to try to ignore Meng Lang's appearance.

but……

"Michael, why don't you play? Well, the old man is like this. He loses his physical fitness after just one quarter!"

"Let Klaus find you two more substitutes. I think you only have enough physical strength to play one quarter!"

"Otherwise, you can play as a substitute, so that you can avoid me. I believe that with your ability, it will be no problem to play in the second team!"

After only three rounds, Jordan could no longer bear it. He threw the towel on the bench and glanced at Phil Jackson:

I'm coming on!

At this time, it was only 45 seconds before the second quarter started.

Pippen was sitting next to Jordan and he had to say:

I knew this kid's mouth was venomous, but I didn't expect this kid's mouth to be so venomous!

Kukoc, who was next to Pippen, couldn't help but asked his "enemy": "Scotty, what happened between the two of them!" Meng Lang provoked Jordan and gave Kukoc This "Jordan fan" was dumbfounded.

This is also the first time he has seen someone dare to provoke Jordan like this!

But Jordan still couldn't suppress this guy's performance.

Pippen snorted coldly: "There are too many things that happened, and I can't explain them all at once."

He still hasn't forgiven Kukoc for snatching his knife from his hand.

"Damn guy, I hope you can keep being so tough!" Jordan looked at Meng Lang with completely angry eyes. Like a "mad cow" who saw the red cloth, he wanted to be killed by Meng Lang, a bitch.

Meng Lang looked at his appearance and already had a lot of dirty words waiting to be spoken.

Jordan, who was completely crazy, took his most serious attitude at present. He no longer talked with Meng Lang, but focused on both offense and defense.

He swore that he would crush Meng Lang's self-confidence!

Meng Lang also began to feel more pressure.

Michael Jordan is indeed the "incarnation of God." Meng Lang was already under great pressure on both offense and defense in the first quarter, but only after the second quarter began did he realize how bad his defense was.

If we talk about the first quarter, he can also slightly restrict Jordan's catching and rhythm before shooting.

At this moment, his defense was completely torn apart by Jordan.

Can't guard against it, can't guard against it at all!

On his own offensive end, he thought Jordan's defense had reached his personal limit. But in the second quarter, Jordan, who was even more angry, showed Meng Lang how suffocating "Best Defensive Player"-level perimeter defense was under the rules of the 90s.

It became more difficult for Meng Lang to catch the ball, and he even had to use pick-and-rolls and screens. This was the first time that he encountered such a difficult defense when he turned on "Buddha's Light".

He had to give up the fantasy of having any restrictions on Jordan on the defensive end and focus more energy on competing with Jordan.

The effect of "Buddha's light shining everywhere" is maximized...

Meng Lang's sharp offense made Jordan look at Meng Lang with admiration again.

He once believed that the ultimate projection in this league was Larry Bird. The combination of smart catching and erratic passing was so powerful that even he couldn't guard against it.

This is why he respects Big Bird so much.

At this moment, he felt like he was back when he was young, back to the feeling of facing Larry Bird.

Do not……

Meng Lang's shooting is more domineering than Larry Bird!

His strong shooting and off-ball movement are both more deadly abilities than Larry Bird's.

Jordan tried his best, but at the end of the second quarter, his scoring in a single quarter reached a new high tonight, with 16 points, but Meng Lang still beat him, Meng Lang scored 19 points!

Same as the first quarter, still 3 more points!

This three-pointer is like a gap. No matter how hard Jordan tries tonight, he cannot cross it.

It was very similar to the early days of his career, when facing Larry Bird and his Celtics, no matter how hard he tried, he was swept twice.

damn it!

Jordan looked at the halftime data. After two quarters, he scored 30 points. Meng Lang was even better, he scored 36 points!

The Magic's lead is now even higher by 10 points!

What makes Jordan even more unhappy than being suppressed in scoring is:

He felt a tricky feeling in Meng Lang, similar to Larry Bird. ——The 18-year-old Meng Lang once gave Jordan a tricky feeling like Thomas and others, and three years later, this tricky feeling has become stronger and more accurate. Jordan knew very well that there was only one person who could give him such a tricky feeling with this style of play, and that was Larry Bird!

I don’t believe it anymore, I can’t guard against this guy!

Jordan was breathing heavily, but his eyes became brighter.

At this moment, his "big heart" that refused to admit defeat began to burn fiercely again.

In the third quarter of the game, Meng Lang finally understood why so many fans later suspected that Jordan had a basketball system. His sudden growth of 20cm in his senior year of high school was proof. What's more, this guy can always burst out with a stronger feeling of the game at critical moments of the game.

Or use another word instead:

Game dominance!

In the first half, Meng Lang, under the "Buddha's Light", seemed to completely defeat Jordan's defense.

But in the third quarter, Jordan was able to find an even more suffocating defense. Under this defense, Meng Lang "only" scored 9 points in a single quarter...

Jordan focused more on restricting Meng Lang from catching the ball and pressing him in the first step. At the same time, during the confrontation, he took advantage of his better core strength and frequently blocked Meng Lang in advance, making it impossible for Meng Lang to complete the entire technical movement. ——Meng Lang's ability to hold the ball and make movements is average. Under such high pressure, Meng Lang can only pass the ball out more often. Without this part of the forced shooting, Meng Lang's shots will also be reduced a lot. So even though Meng Lang's performance in this quarter was still outstanding, he only scored 9 points in a single quarter because of few shots.

But Jordan was not happy.

Because even with just these 9 points, Meng Lang scored more than 45 points in this game!

He is still 50 points away from scoring 5 points on his head as he said...

Damn it, he was really going to trick me!

What's worse is that Jordan seems to have no chance of getting back on the field.

If he can score 50 points on Meng Lang's head, then even if Meng Lang really scores 50 points on his head, he can still save some face.

But the problem is that Meng Lang's defense in the third quarter consumed so much physical energy that it affected his personal offense. Although Meng Lang only scored 9 points, his score in a single quarter was only 7 points.

Now Meng Lang has 45 points, but he only has 36 points!

The most fatal point is...

His physical energy is almost exhausted!

Meng Lang's "Tactics to Survive Jordan" finally had obvious results after three quarters.

At this moment, Jordan somewhat regretted that he had consumed so much physical energy in the last game. He played overtime against the New York Knicks and scored 55 points. There is no need to elaborate on the physical energy consumed.

Yes!

But even though he was exhausted, Jordan's eyes were still bright.

We can't fall down like this, we mustn't fall down like this!

Jordan repeated this sentence in his heart, and after the start of the fourth quarter, he was in a state like a drowning man, clinging to the straw in his hand, about to drown, and everyone could see that he was grabbing this Straw can't save him anything at all, but...

"Shh!"

"Three-point shot from Michael Jordan!"

Jordan was just relying on this tone to keep scoring.

Even Meng Lang couldn't help but curse:

What kind of monster is this!

Aren't you still dead despite the blood?

Meng Lang knew that Jordan was difficult to beat, but he never expected that he would be so difficult to kill!

It's the last moment, but this guy can still hold on for so long.

This made Meng Lang have to wonder how difficult the script of this game would have been if Jordan had not consumed so much physical energy in the New York Knicks game!

The good news is…

He was also cheating tonight!

"Shh!"

In the next round after Jordan made a three-pointer, Meng Lang immediately responded with a three-pointer.

After this three-pointer, Jordan's always resolute face finally showed a trace of discouragement, and the Bulls' immortal "corpse" collapsed.

At 2 minutes and 34 seconds of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson took the initiative to raise the "white flag" and prepared to replace Michael Jordan, Pippen and others.

At the moment he came off the court, Jordan fell headfirst into Pippen's chest, then lifted one foot up and returned to the bench with Pippen's help with a painful expression. Amid the uproar, the Bulls team doctor hurried over to check.

The end result is:

Calf cramps!

That is to say...

Hardaway looked at Meng Lang blankly.

His best brother beat his most admired idol into leg cramps!
