So I am the god of basketball?

Chapter 116 The Chosen Son

Not only did he perform well in the game against the Jazz, but after playing against the Magic, Michael Jordan's condition has always been at a super high level. He can score 30 points at every turn. In an era when averaging 25 points per game can be considered a super scorer, Michael Jordan still shows what it means to "score as easy as drinking water." It is no wonder that some fans think that Jordan will average more points per game in the NBA 20 years later. There is no problem with scoring 40 points.

He doesn't look like he's been out of the league for a year and a half, he looks like he never left.

It can just be seen that Michael Jordan is getting more and more unhappy...

Even though he scored 30 points in a row, since Meng Lang scored 60 points on his head, he was not even in the mood to pretend to compete.

Finally caught Barkley and beat him up hard with the Suns, scoring 37 points on Barkley's head. But not to mention that the Bulls lost, Barkley was not annoyed at all. Instead, he looked at Jordan and said contemptuously: "Michael, did you work so hard to get 37 points? Then how did Dream get chopped off on your head?" 60 points?”

As the Orlando media said: "Now, Jordan has three accounts to settle with Dream!"

Compared to Jordan's dire straits, Meng Lang's reputation has soared after this game. In recent days, the media's evaluation of him has obviously increased. This can be seen from the NBA's two consecutive updates of the regular season MVP list. He has stayed in the first position and has not changed again!

"ESPN" even announced in advance that Meng Lang will become the NBA's new regular season MVP!

NBA officials seemed to acquiesce in the media's judgment. At the end of March, after beating the Bulls, the Magic lost another game in 3 games, ending the March schedule with a record of 6 wins and 13 losses.

孟浪在这段时间场均24.8分4.6篮板7.6助攻1.8抢断，投篮命中率51.4%，三分球命中率43.5%，罚球命中率96.2%。顺利拿下了3月的“月最佳球员奖”，这也是他今年拿到的第4次“月最佳”。

Except for the "Best of the Month" he won with Shaquille O'Neal and Hardaway in November, Meng Lang won the "Best of the Month" alone in December and January.

Four "Best of the Month" awards also put him far ahead of the entire league.

No matter how you look at it, Meng Lang has become the person closest to the regular season MVP this season.

It is worth mentioning that if Meng Lang really wins the regular season MVP, he will be the youngest regular season MVP in the NBA. He was only 21 years and 5 months old at that time.

All media are very optimistic about Meng Lang's achievement.

Regular season MVP is often a matter of course!

First of all, the Magic's record determines that this year's regular season MVP can only appear on the Magic. Because not only are they the number one team in the league, but they will also have a high probability of making history. In a season like this, with David Stern's urine, it is impossible for players from other teams to win this regular season MVP.

And if there were discussions from the beginning about who would win the regular season MVP trophy between Meng Lang and Shaquille O'Neal, then when Meng Lang scored 60 points on top of Jordan's head, these discussions could stop.

It's not that Shaquille O'Neal is inferior to Meng Lang. But now Meng Lang is more suitable to win the regular season MVP.

Only if he wins this regular season MVP can the popularity be filled!

Ok……

Shaquille O'Neal is actually a very popular player, but unfortunately, another guy with more popularity has appeared. And he had just done something earth-shattering.

For a long time in the future, even after this era has passed, Meng Lang's feat of scoring 60 points on Jordan's head will be mentioned repeatedly!

This is a certain thing!

Shaquille O'Neal saw it all, but this time, his emotions didn't rise and fall. He didn't have any reluctance, and even if he had, it was gone after Meng Lang scored 60 points in a single game.

The only thing he wasn't willing to accept was that whenever the competition was at its fiercest, Meng Lang could always make some big scenes and take advantage of the situation to widen the gap between him and him that would determine victory or defeat. And often at times like this, he couldn't stand up.

It was once in the finals and it is again tonight.

In fact, in Meng Lang's "60-Point God-Slaying Night", Shaquille O'Neal also scored a high score of 26 points, but this gleaming fire really cannot compete with the bright moon.

He has to admit that this season, he failed again!

Apart from this thought, Shaquille O'Neal had no other emotions.

The Orlando media has become more and more excited recently. As time comes to April, there are still 4 games before the end of the season. As long as the Magic can win 7 of the next 7 games, then they will You can make history and become the first team in NBA history to win more than 4 games in a single season.

This is a historic moment, and they look forward to this day coming soon.

After the Magic team worked hard in March, the entire team's offensive and defensive status has reached its best in the new season, so they defeated the Hawks and Heat without any blood, successfully increasing their number of wins to 3 games, one step closer than ever before. At the critical moment, there was only one game left.

In the next game, their opponents were none other than Chris Webber and the Golden State Warriors.

In the summer of 93, because of Meng Lang's words, Chris Webber avoided the original falling out with Nelson. Under the research and development of this "mad scientist", Chris Webber in the second season of his career -Webber has undergone a transformation:

First of all, he received the ball more and more frequently in the high post, and his control of the ball after receiving the ball also made Meng Lang very familiar. He was just like the omnipotent "all-around power forward" in the "Gorgeous King" later.

本赛季他的场均数据也上涨至20.5分9.6篮板4.9助攻1.5抢断1.7盖帽！

Under the leadership of him and the "Madman", although the state of "God's Left Hand" has further declined, the Warriors are still ranked sixth in the Western Conference. The Warriors have quickly passed the reconstruction period and entered another strong stage. .

However, facing the powerful Magic team, the Warriors did not put up much resistance.

The game ended quickly, and the Magic easily defeated the Warriors 114-97, 17 points.

With the 70th victory of the season, the NBA’s historic moment was also settled at this moment:

The scene of Magic players rushing towards Meng Lang and surrounding him became the headlines of major media the next day.

"With 70 wins in a single season, this new team has become the most successful new team in recent years!"

"The defending champion who is still growing? How high is the growth ceiling of this team?"

"The wave of the new era is more ferocious than we thought. The Magic make history!"

……

The Bulls also had a game yesterday, and Jordan scored 40 points. But today, the major media still chose to put the Magic's historic moment in the news headlines. This was a normal choice.

But Jordan's expression was extremely bad.

He really didn't like the feeling of being a spectator. More importantly, he knew very well that a new era was born after being grabbed the headlines again and again.

This was how he snatched a new era from the hands of the "Magic Birds".

just now……

Is it his turn?

Michael Jordan has always felt a sense of crisis, but now, he has to admit that the sense of crisis in his heart is stronger than ever before!

Meng Lang, who in his opinion was just an ant back then, had unknowingly grown into a being that could truly threaten his status.

more importantly……

Compared to his ups and downs, Meng Lang's journey along the way had no ups and downs. It was all a high-gloss crushing force, which made him extremely envious, and he felt a little bit like a lemon in his heart.

In fact, whether it is Larry Bird or "Magic" Johnson, their process of winning the championship is not tortuous. "Magic" won the championship in his first season in the league.

And Larry Bird also won the championship in his second season in the league.

This is the main theme of "Magic Bird Struggle".

They both quickly conquered the alliance.

After their era ended, it took Michael Jordan, who took over, eight years to taste the fragrance of victory.

But his momentum was even more fierce. After opening the victory champagne, Jordan opened three bottles in a row, directly maximizing his reputation!

His story also became an even bigger legend.

But no matter how legendary a story is, it must come to an end...

Meng Lang's appearance made him have to think more!

Look at the current situation...

Meng Lang has already won the championship in his rookie season, and in the second season of his career, he will also win the regular season MVP. Even defending the title seems to be within his grasp.

The first two years of such a career can be said to directly cover Johnson, who won the championship in the first season, and Larry Bird, who won the championship in the second season. None of them had finished defending their title, and now Meng Lang is about to finish it... Especially, looking at it now, his new era has begun on the shoulders of the founder of his legendary career.

This guy……

Jordan thought of such an adjective.

But he didn't dare to say it.

The sense of crisis in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

What Jordan thought but didn't dare to say, the next morning, "Sports Illustrated" said it.

Their latest issue of the journal features Meng Lang as the cover and a large title:

"The Chosen One!"

This……

If Meng Lang remembered correctly, the first person to be crowned the "Chosen One" shouldn't be...

Well, it's only 1995 now, and there are still 01 years left before 6. Thinking about it, it won't affect that guy becoming the second "Chosen One".

However, it is still a bit bold!

Meng Lang took a look at "Sports Illustrated"'s views on his "chosen son". It was nothing more than his performance in the NCAA before entering his career, especially his performance in the finals, as well as his performance after entering the NBA and before his career. Two years of strong momentum...

After reading the entire article, Meng Lang had only one thought: Am I really the "Chosen One"?

No wonder he thinks so, the momentum and luck are really too strong!

As soon as he entered the league, he had a survival system that was most suitable for him. The teammates around him were all very capable newcomers, and the head coach was experienced. Chuck knew how to glue a group of people together best in this league. -Daly. Whether it's getting on top or performing well, there's no big obstacle!

more importantly……

"Every night when he needs to respond, he can always give the toughest performance, including in the Octagon. The reason why Dream shines so brightly comes largely from this."

"The chosen ones are probably like this!"

This report caused a great response, especially in Orlando, which has made "The Chosen One" part of Meng Lang's poster. Meng Lang also has a new nickname, called:

The Chosen One!

I have to sigh, Michael Jordan’s traffic is huge!

Meng Lang had been with the Orlando Magic for a season, but there was no discussion on this scale. Now, a game against Jordan actually aroused such overwhelming support, and even had such a title on his head.

Although scoring 60 points is indeed shocking enough, there is one thing Meng Lang knows very well. If it were not for the 60 points scored by Jordan, I am afraid that no one else would be able to cause such a discussion.

And "Sports Illustrated" gave such a title and also focused on describing the smoothness of Meng Lang's career. Is it not connoting a guy who has been through the finals seven times but never entered?

However, no matter what their thoughts were, anyway, the label of "The Chosen One" was now placed on Meng Lang's head.

But the commotion caused this time was far more violent than Meng Lang thought. What he saw now was only the turmoil caused in the United States. Only when he returned to China from his trip to China in the summer did he know what he had caused. Such movement...

After playing the Warriors, the Magic's next game is an away game against the Cavaliers.

Having just broken the historical record and become the first NBA team to win 70 games in a single season, shortly after the Magic arrived at the airport, Chuck Daly announced that training was canceled to let everyone relax.

During this period, the entire Magic team has been tense in order to strive for 70 wins. Now it is time for everyone to take a breath.

This is Chuck Daley's experience.

When it's time to relax, he never imposes any restrictions. His credo is:

When you play, you must play happily!

Mainly, he is also familiar with the urinary behavior of these gangsters.

If they don't let them have all the fun, it's impossible to stop!

Self-control is a problem across the league.

Since you can't control it, then open the floodgates and release the water appropriately. Any man will enter the "Sage's Time" at some point.

So as soon as they arrived at the hotel, the Magic team hurriedly headed towards the nightclub. Hardaway also called out to Meng Lang. Meng Lang didn't refuse, and he hadn't relaxed for a long time, even though Madonna was now his girlfriend.

But his girlfriend can’t stop him from going to the nightclub, right?

Besides, he just wanted to change his mood and didn't intend to do anything else.

After sleeping with Jeannie Buss and Madonna, Meng Lang is becoming more and more picky and cannot afford to be cheap to those flesh and blood in the nightclub.

and……

There's really nothing fun about a nightclub in a small, shitty place like Cleveland.

Especially in early April, when the Magic had just finished playing in Atlanta, Steve Kaplan was really able to find opportunities to find opportunities. When he saw them coming, he immediately dragged the girls from the Gold Club to the hotel where the Magic were staying.

Meng Lang met Dita Vantis again, but nothing happened this time. Since the official announcement with Madonna, Dita has not contacted him.

"I'm leaving soon."

"Ah."

"Ah."

Even the conversation was so brief that it ended in just three seconds, and Vantis' eyes were full of resentment when he left. But Meng Lang had already taught her all the striptease skills he knew, and he really didn't know what to say.

After watching the performance at the "Golden Club" and watching these old ladies in Cleveland, it's no wonder that Meng Lang felt bored.

After staying for more than an hour, Meng Lang, who really had no interest, decided to go back to the hotel early. As soon as he left the house, he heard a woman shouting: "Robbery, robbery!"

The bodyguards accompanying Meng Lang quickly issued a warning.

One of them stepped forward to observe the situation.

"It's okay, it's just that a woman's bag was robbed..." The bodyguard who came back spoke very calmly.

Yes, this kind of thing is indeed common in the United States.

Meng Lang didn't say anything and was the first to get in the car. The car passed by slowly. When Meng Lang looked out through the window, he saw the woman slumped on the ground with a look of despair. I couldn't see clearly because it was too dark.

Unable to bear it, he finally said to the bodyguard next to him: "Here is a hundred dollars. You can give it to that woman and send her home by the way."

How should I put it, Meng Lang would not deliberately do these things, but if he really encountered him on the road, he couldn't help but want to do something without affecting himself, such as giving him 1 dollars in travel expenses, so that people could send her home.

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

The car started and headed towards the hotel.

The bodyguard who got out of the car followed Meng Lang's instructions and walked up to the woman: "Miss, I'm sorry that I couldn't help you just now. Here is 1 knives. Our leader asked me to give it to you. I hope it can be ok." I can help you a little. Is your home nearby? Our boss asked me to take you back to avoid another accident."

"Thank you, thank you..." The frightened woman thanked her repeatedly. She did not refuse and held the hundred knife tightly. There was no way, this 1 dollars was really important to her who lost her bag, it was enough to keep her and her children alive.

But she didn't bother the bodyguard to send her back: "My home is not in Cleveland. I just came here to try to find a job... Can I ask the name of your boss? My children and I will be very grateful to him."

The bodyguard felt that there was nothing to hide: "His name is Meng Lang. You should have seen his name and photo in newspapers often!"

"Can you please tell him? Gloria James and her children will remember this help!"
