So I am the god of basketball?

Chapter 21 Isn’t this newcomer too perfect?
  No matter how ferocious the rumors are, they all follow a pattern:
  Come fast, go fast.

Just like the love described in Jay Chou's "Tornado".

It's just that the rumors about "Meng Lang kicked Jordan's ass hard" did not subside in the next few days, but intensified.

The reason lies in Michael Jordan's ambiguous attitude.

When these rumors spread like snowflakes across the United States, reporters from several more authoritative media immediately called Falk to inquire about the authenticity of the matter.

They expected to hear the angry curses of the domineering Falk. ——They have made such preparations, which means nothing will happen, and these rumors can be ignored. They may even spontaneously write a report to clear Jordan's name.

But the result is:
  The call was not connected!
  Falk avoided the question!

This is a very strong signal that these rumors are not necessarily false.

then……

They also joined.

There is no way, this wave of traffic is too big!
  The name "Meng Lang" has been mentioned again and again these days.

As he became famous, he received an even more enthusiastic following at Duke.

This time it wasn't just Duke students. A swarm of reporters poured into Durham, scrambling to get him an exclusive interview.

The 18-year-old Meng Lang has become the focus of basketball reporters across the United States.

To put it a little more exaggeratedly, under the background that the "Dream Team" had just won the Olympic gold medal, the entire North American sports circle was paying attention to Meng Lang.

Chuck Daly looked at the turmoil caused by his words and lit a cigar with satisfaction. The satisfaction in his heart at this moment is comparable to when he led the Pistons to win "two consecutive championships".

Michael Jordan is also smoking a cigar.

It's just that his expression is completely opposite to Chuck Daly.

The gloomy face made him, who was already black, look even darker, like a layer of tar on his face.

He could immediately hold a press conference and denounce these rumors, but the problem is... Meng Lang's performance against him in the training camp was no worse than those rumors.

This is what hurts him the most!
  He could only remain silent, pretending not to respond to these rumors, and waiting for the public opinion to subside on its own.

Jordan couldn't help but think of Meng Lang again.

This was the time when he should have been proud, but now he was completely making Meng Lang's wedding dress.

This damn rookie should be very proud now!

Meng Lang was indeed very proud now, but it wasn't because of the focused attention from the outside world. He had already been happy about this a few days ago.

He never gets carried away with things like this.

After all, he is almost 40 years old!

Duke's trainers and nutritionists conducted a comprehensive physical test on him today, and the final results showed that the 2kg muscle gain goal he had previously set has now been completed.

Now he weighs 96kg, but his body fat rate remains the same as before.

Through testing, it was found that all aspects of his physical coordination were not affected by the 2KG weight.

This point is quite critical.

When the future LeBron James first entered the league, his body flexibility was actually very good, and his shots did not feel stiff. But as he gradually gained muscle, his flexibility deteriorated, and even his fadeaway jump shot became a "figure eight jump."

Although in basketball it is enough to put the ball in, posture is not important. Data shows that non-standard postures do have an impact on shooting percentage.

What made Meng Lang most happy was that he could finally resume his normal diet.

And next, he just needs to devote himself to shooting training.

The 96-point mid-range shooting potential made him hungry. He couldn't wait to drain all these potential values ​​immediately, and then use this 96-point mid-range shooting to fry fish in the NCAA.

Anyone who has played games knows that "fish frying" is a very pleasurable thing.

Well, not only playing games, but also "fish frying" in any aspect is a very happy thing.

At the end of August, Meng Lang improved his CIC ability from 8 points to 70 points, and at the same time he received a call from Old K.

Old K had just finished his follow-up work as an assistant coach for the "Dream Team" and returned to Durham without stopping. His first phone call was also to Meng Lang. He couldn't wait to transform Meng Lang's rough jade.

Let’s start with the team’s tactical system.

"Only when you fully understand the system of this team can you integrate better!"

Meng Lang knew that this was intended to subtly instill in him the concept of "team".

18-year-old high school students are so easy to deceive!
  It's a pity that Meng Lang has the soul of a middle-aged man inside his body, and he can see through Old K's underwear at a glance.

However, since Old K took such good care of him, he had no intention of confronting Old K. Besides, going against the head coach in the NCAA is not a wise choice.

Anyway...

Everyone's understanding of the team is different.

Some people think that when losing, their own win-loss value should be separated from the team's performance; some people think that "a team does not have individuals, but there are special individuals who win!";
  Meng Lang can naturally have his own understanding. He believed that Old K would understand him when the time comes.

and……

Is old K really stubborn?
  Not necessarily!

Later, 2018 was destined to be a record-breaking year in the history of the Duke team. In the summer of this year, Duke recruited the top three high school students in the United States: Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam - Reddish has all his followers.

That year they played the simplest and crudest D-D-M offensive system.

That is to use personal abilities to continuously score points!
  Also this year, Duke's four top freshmen, in addition to the top three high school students in the country, and Tre Jones, an equally talented freshman, scored 77.3% of the team's points.

Old K is the one who can arrange "superstar ball".

If he didn't have such a tactical concept before, then being an assistant coach in the "Dream Team" will also make him discover that winning is such a simple thing!

So, what can he do against old K?

During the following period, Meng Lang took the writing "tactics" prepared for him by Old K, reading them as "team" materials, and studied them carefully. His understanding of Duke's tactics became more and more thorough.

Having seen Meng Lang's outstanding personal abilities in the training camp, and now seeing Meng Lang's outstanding basketball IQ, the satisfaction in Old K's eyes can hardly be filled.

Oh, by the way, this guy’s mentality is also great!
  A few days ago, a group of media came specifically for him, but he did not indulge in the exposure. He rejected them all and devoted himself to special training to improve himself.

This newcomer is too perfect, right?
  Old K suddenly realized a problem:
  With such a perfect newcomer, the team also has top NCAA players such as Grant Hill and Bob Hurley. It is not allowed to be unable to defend the title in the new season.

　Let's count the tickets, buddy
