So I am the god of basketball?

Chapter 134 Why has he improved again!

On August 8, Meng Lang launched his third signature shoe:

"The Chosen Generation".

After successfully defending his title in June this year, Meng Lang became the first player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP in the first two years of his career, and also won a regular season MVP. His personal popularity has also reached the highest level in his career.

For such a historical player who created a new big scene in the NBA, Adidas does not dare to neglect. Starting from August this year and ending in June next year, Adidas will release three "signature shoes" in a row.

Named respectively:

"The Chosen Generation", "The Chosen Second Generation" and the "Chosen Three Generations"!

Each model has subtle changes, not just the color matching.

This is a big move, and it has never happened before in the history of Adidas.

The reason:

In addition to cutting off the "leeks" of the fans, the most important thing is to show the importance to Meng Lang. You know, this is already the third year of Meng Lang's contract with Adidas. At the end of this year, Meng Lang's endorsement contract with Adidas will end.

Adidas went all out to show their attitude.

However, I have to say that this desperate look is very Adidas.

For Adidas, their emphasis is directly proportional to the release speed of new shoes.

Right now, there is really no player that they value more than Meng Lang.

Speaking of which, since Michael Jordan, Adidas' luck in signing new players has been suppressed by Nike. Just relying on Jordan, Nike has gradually become bigger and stronger in the NBA, taking away a large piece of the basketball shoe cake that belongs to Adidas.

After signing Meng Lang, Adidas finally felt proud and proud, and also signed Grant Hill. The luck of the past two years seems to have returned to their side.

The good news right now is that Chris Webber is trying to terminate his contract with Nike through contractual means.

If this really happens, it means that in the two drafts of 93 and 94, Nike only captured one of the "rising stars" Hardaway. Such a sign will help Adidas regain its dominance in the sneaker market. , it’s so beneficial.

Of course, Adidas also knows very well that in the current situation, Meng Lang is about to become a free man, and Nike will definitely not sit still and wait for death. A "Meng Lang defense battle" does not just happen in Orlando.

Adidas will also have to accept this test.

So now they really pay 100% attention to Meng Lang.

No, there was originally a trip to Asia for Meng Lang this summer, but it was canceled because Meng Lang received an invitation from the "Breakfast Club". They did not blink an eye at the advance publicity expenses that had been incurred for this purpose.

As long as Meng Lang is happy, everything is fine.

However, because the original "Asia trip" was cancelled, Meng Lang also cooperated very cooperatively between Los Angeles and New York for the launch of new shoes.

On August 8, the first stop of the press conference was Los Angeles.

When Meng Lang arrived, Madonna drove to the airport herself and intercepted him.

She couldn't wait to see the "enhanced version of Meng Lang".

During this time she has been taking care of her body.

"This time... it should be okay, right?"

Madonna devoted herself wholeheartedly, and then she discovered that Meng Lang was bigger...

Throw away your armor and lose your armor!

It should be said that Madonna is also a sister who can sing and dance for a whole performance, and her physical fitness is quite good.

But in front of the "enhanced version of Meng Lang", it was completely inadequate.

Do you understand the "perfect combination of explosive power and skills"?

Madonna likes it even more!

After cleaning up Madonna, Meng Lang still had time to attend the "New Shoe Conference" held by Adidas. Interestingly, many fans could be seen at the scene holding "solicitation posters":

"Come to the 'City of Angels', Dream, this place is worthy of your status!"

"Dream, I look forward to having you come to Los Angeles!"

"Los Angeles needs you to save it and make the Lakers great again!"

……

Coincidentally, at the next stop of the New York Knicks' new shoe launch conference, New York fans also had various slogans hoping that Meng Lang would return to the Knicks:

"As long as we can get you, dream, we can lose anything!"

"Come to the Big Apple, it needs an owner!"

"Dream, the 'Basketball Holy Land' welcomes you!"

……

The rookie season has not yet begun, but the battle for Meng Lang has already begun!

The trend quickly made headlines in larger media outlets.

It's no wonder that Meng Lang is only 21 years old now, and there are still almost three months before he turns 22. At this age, he is actually about the same as this year's rookie.

But the "95 generation" still needs to prove himself, but he still achieved such results and personal honors. Which team wouldn't rush for the "21-year-old rookie"?

It's just that the two gangs grabbed it like this, and the Orlando media and fans couldn't sit still.

When Meng Lang returned to Orlando after the new shoe launch conference, he saw a large group of fans at the airport coming to pick him up. The scene was not much different from the "Champions Parade".

Thinking about the way these people treated him two years ago, and looking at their appearance now, it can only be said that performance is the best "medical beauty" for players.

With the results, there are cheers everywhere...

Then the problem is coming...

If that's the case, why does it have to be in Orlando?

Meng Lang is a narrow-minded person!

This has never changed whether at Duke or in Orlando.

Just like when Duke invited him to give a speech this year, he refused outright.

Unless Old K came to invite him, he would definitely not go back... And Old K obviously knew his temper very well and never called him at all.

This is true for Duke, and he will be no exception for Orlando.

Time came to September, and there was only half a month left before the training camp of the new season. "Space Jam" was filming in full swing. The director team approached Meng Lang and wanted him to have a guest role, but Meng Lang didn't want to praise Jordan. I had stinky feet, so I refused.

When he refused, Jordan called him "little bitch" again.

他 说:

When Jordan defeats me, I will play a supporting role for him!

Naturally, these words were hyped up by the media again. The opposition between Meng Lang and Jordan has become increasingly clear.

Mentioning Jordan will inevitably mention Meng Lang, and mentioning Meng Lang will inevitably include Jordan's name.

Meng Lang naturally doesn't mind, but for Jordan, this is not a situation he can accept, but this situation also reminds him that in the following season, if he cannot defeat Meng Lang, then the script of "Two Heroes Fighting for Hegemony" will be It's inevitable.

Even worse...

Maybe he was the one who gave Meng Lang a bad thumb.

This is something he will never allow to happen!

On September 9, Meng Lang received a call from Madonna. Her voice on the other end of the phone was faintly excited. Just by deliberately lowering her voice on her behalf, Meng Lang seemed to be able to see that beautiful face full of joy:

"Dream, I have it, I have it!"

Meng Lang didn't react at first, and then he was stunned for two or three seconds.

I have……

Your own child?

This is a very strange feeling, something Meng Lang has never experienced before traveling through time.

So at this moment, there was a brief silence for him.

"Dream, dream?"

"Ok?"

It was only when Madonna shouted that he came back to his senses.

"Will you announce this news?"

"Of course!"

Meng Lang agreed without hesitation.

This kind of thing should have been announced by him!

On September 9th, under the arrangement of Tai Lun, reporters from all walks of life gathered in Orlando. In two days, a lot of gossip had actually spread, but their calls to Madonna did not get a definite answer. , Madonna’s agent either didn’t answer the phone, or said: “I don’t know, I don’t know, wait for the result!”

At this time, Meng Lang suddenly held a press conference, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties.

Meng Lang, who was sitting in front of the microphone, looked at the fans whose eyes almost flew out of their sockets and suddenly smiled: "Everyone must have heard some rumors in the past two days. Let me clarify here, this is not Rumors, yes, the ones everyone has heard, I have a child with Madonna!”

"Crack, click, click!"

As Meng Lang finished speaking, various shutter sounds of different speeds continued to sound.

His words directly shocked the entire United States.

Who is Madonna?

The country’s “Queen of Pop”!

Although there have always been scandals, she has had many men.

But the culture of this country made her become "the most attractive woman". Of course, her stunning face is indeed a huge bonus. But even though I heard about her "love news", I never heard about whose child she was pregnant with.

But now, Meng Lang allowed her to get pregnant willingly...

This, what kind of "winner in life" is this!

Early the next morning, not only sports magazines, but also all kinds of gossip headlines were about Meng Lang and Madonna. Meng Lang became the "winner in life" envied by men across the United States.

After all, whatever he did on the court, it was also what he did off the court: getting Madonna pregnant. These are all things a man dreams of doing.

Now he's done it all!

This……

Meng Lang once again saw the influence of Madonna, and he suddenly gained a lot more endorsements. All in all, he earned about 1000 million more in a year. Well, that adds up to only half of what Madonna gave him...

Well, Madonna is a woman of her word!

I said 2 million, that’s 2 million!

She hit Meng Lang's card directly without even telling Meng Lang.

It was only two or three days before Meng Lang discovered that Madonna had paid him. He quietly knocked back the 2 million.

After pushing and pulling twice, Meng Lang didn't refuse anymore.

Meng Lang accompanied her to the first pregnancy test. Looking at the little bean on the ultrasound machine, Meng Lang felt really magical. Madonna was so excited that she almost cried. Having a child is what she wants to do most at this stage.

Now my wish is finally fulfilled.

After that, Madonna announced that she would temporarily stop her performing career until the child was born, and she planned to take care of the baby with peace of mind. After Meng Lang stayed with her for a few days, she decided to let Meng Lang return to Orlando.

The reason...

"You'd better go. You're here and I can't do anything. This is an even greater torture for me!"

On September 9, Meng Lang returned to Orlando.

In the afternoon of that day, a courier came to his door and brought him a mailed package signed for his face. Meng Lang opened it and saw that it was a large-scale photo of Jenny Buss.

She still used this trick!

The original Jeanie Buss, in order to recruit stars from other teams, went to Playboy to take a set of large-scale photos, and then sent them to the Lakers' recruiting targets. As a result, she became a famous socialite in the NBA.

Meng Lang was not surprised to receive the package. It was of this size, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Is this considered pornographic propaganda?

Of course, Meng Lang was not in the "sage time", so he watched it with gusto.

"Use this to test the players. Which player can withstand such a test!"

Then when Meng Lang received a text message from Jenny Buss at night, he realized that his was the only super-large one, and the others were not as exciting.

Meng Lang was no longer so confused.

After all, even if you have the intention to sacrifice for the team, isn't this scale too big?

Is it really necessary to sacrifice to this extent?

Seeing that Meng Lang didn't reply to the text message, Jenny Bass called immediately:

"Congratulations, you are a father!"

Meng Lang chuckled lightly.

The words were good, but the tone sounded a little off.

"Whenever... let me get pregnant too!"

"..."

Meng Lang could chuckle a moment ago, but now he was holding his breath. But I still couldn't help but say something in my heart:

My damn charm!

"Can you even make a joke? When did you become so timid? Or is Madonna really convinced of you?" He asked three times in a row, becoming more and more jealous.

Meng Lang laughed, hung up the phone, and started studying Jenny Buss's large-scale portraits again.

On September 9, the Magic's closed training camp opened.

Shaquille O'Neal has been unhappy all summer, and the closed training camp has started, and he has not yet recovered. No, the party he would hold in the name of "captain" in previous years was not held this year.

Mainly he himself felt that this was a silent irony.

Because no one on this team regards him as the "boss" of this team. No, not only no one on this team regards him as the boss, but also not many people outside think that he is the boss of this team.

There is another guy with a gloomy look, "Cobra" Grant.

When Pat Williams first discussed contract extension with him in the summer, he was very happy, but as soon as the salary he wanted for the extension was announced, the Magic management stopped talking, which made him feel embarrassed and very of embarrassment.

The Magic's closed training camp for the new season begins in this atmosphere.

"Oh my god, you just stayed in the 'Breakfast Club' for 4 weeks and you developed such a confrontation?" Hardaway and Meng Lang had their first bullfight since the summer. After a few rounds of confrontation, he had a look on his face. Are you lying?" The funny expression on his face was filled with uncontrollable shock, "Isn't this a big change?"

"No wonder Tim Grover said that in front of the media!"

Tim Grover was interviewed a few days ago and talked about "Breakfast Training Camp" and said: "Michael will awaken your memory. The familiar him is back, but there is another person who will surprise you. Dream is here. The changes this summer will also make your eyes shine!”

In this case, it increases the expectations of the outside world, including Hardaway.

Now he finally understands why Tim Grover gave such a high evaluation.

No, this evaluation is really not high at all. It can be said to be...

Seek truth from facts!

Meng Lang's confrontational ability has really improved a lot compared to last season.

Hardaway's eyes were full of admiration.

He also practiced hard this summer. He thought he had made considerable progress, but compared with Meng Lang, he was obviously still inferior. But this is Meng Lang, it’s normal!

Hardaway always had one word for Meng Lang:

Convinced!

"Where exactly is 'Breakfast Training Camp'?" Hardaway's eyes were filled with curiosity.

Meng Lang did not break Jordan's rules: "That place, when you have the opportunity, let your idol take you to practice for a while, you will know!"

"Perverted?"

"Quite perverted!"

……

Shaquille O'Neal, who was not far away, had a panoramic view of the confrontation and conversation between the two of them. The expression on his face felt a bit like "having eaten some shit":

no……

Why has he made progress again!
