The moment Chuck Daly agreed to Michael Jordan's request, Old K almost cursed directly:
Are you going to ruin this generation of NCAA?
Facing Michael Jordan like this and the "Dream Team" who just lost, Old K is sure that no team on the planet can beat them.
Not to mention winning, just being able to hold on for a period is considered good.
The college sparring team had just reached the peak of their self-confidence, and then they encountered a head-on blow. Just thinking about their expressions after the game that they were so frustrated that their eyes were empty and they wanted to go home to find their mother, Old K couldn't stand it. .
Only now did Old K realize that it was not just Meng Lang who was being used as a pawn, but also the entire college student sparring group!
Chuck Daly has long thought about using the energy of these young people to teach the "Dream Team" a lesson called "vigilance."
damn it!
Even he is a pawn, which is perhaps what makes Old K most unhappy.
He thought they were at least on the same level.
Now it seems that the water in the NCAA is still too clear.
It actually feels pretty good to face a bunch of college students with stupid eyes.
Old K once again rejected any prospect of coaching in the NBA in the future.
After cursing Chuck Daly at least ten million times in his heart, he conveyed the news to everyone in the college training group that he would have to play a training match with the "Dream Team" tomorrow. This is his job responsibility.
"Be careful, guys. They didn't show their real strength today. To be precise, not even one-tenth. If there is a defeat tomorrow, don't take it to heart. After all, this is the dream team. They can defeat Their once is enough for you to leave your name in history! One day when this story is revealed, your name will also be discussed for three days and three nights!"
What makes Old K happy is that Carlsimo has the same idea as him. He is also afraid that the self-confidence of these children will be destroyed. This was a group of young people who were supposed to have great potential, and he was vaccinated in advance.
Now there are two people protecting the children's self-confidence.
Unexpectedly, Hardaway asked: "What if we beat them twice?"
Oh, No!
god!
This kid is completely crazy!
Old K resisted the urge to close his eyes.
The glory of defeating the "Dream Team" will indeed make some people unable to see the path under their feet and his weight. But the impact of reality will teach him how to behave. He suddenly felt that such a setback might not be a bad thing for these young people.
Human beings are such contradictory and entangled creatures.
The excited college student sparring team members gathered for dinner together and still talked about this big victory.
Before coming, none of them thought they could do such a glorious thing. This is worth bragging about for eight lifetimes. If Old K hadn't told them not to reveal this matter before the end of his speech, they would have taken out their mobile phones and sent text messages and phone calls to their relatives, friends, dogs and cats to show off this matter. .
"Meng, you made that guy Laettner so angry today, it was so fun to watch!" Chris Webber took the initiative to clink glasses with Meng Lang. In this year's finals, he often asked Leitner to talk trash. However, he was not a "trash talker" and held back a lot of anger. He always believed that if he was a "trash talker", he would be able to dominate the language. If he has the upper hand, he won't miss the last mid-range shot, and the championship may belong to Michigan.
Although Meng Lang will be a member of Duke in the new season and they may encounter enemies in the NCAA national championship, at least they are still teammates for now.
Meng Lang didn't feel much pleasure.
Laettner was very famous in the United States during this period, but in Meng Lang's perception, he was just an ordinary NBA main player. There's no comparison with Chris Webber.
It's like kicking away a wild dog that has been barking at you on the side of the road.
This wasn't enough to make him feel proud.
"Brothers, do you think we can beat the Dream Team again tomorrow?" Hardaway suddenly stood up and asked excitedly, his eyes full of expectation.
Defeating the "Dream Team" today gave him a huge boost.
The feeling of joy after winning was something he had never experienced before.
He hopes to win again!
other people……
Why don't you want to?
However, just the words "Dream Team" made them less confident and shouted "I will definitely win again".
The "Dream Team" is the kind of team that even if you win once, you are not confident that you can win the second time.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Hardaway, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to cheer him up, was embarrassed.
Fortunately, Meng Lang spoke up: "If you win, you will gain blood, if you lose, you will not lose. Anfernee, don't think that you will definitely win. Even if we have to suffer a little for those bitches like the 'Dream Team', we will still be considered a winner." Isn’t it?”
His words received more recognition.
The vibe is positive again.
Grant Hill "disappeared" after the dinner, and Meng Lang could probably guess what he was doing. He should have gone to comfort his unlucky senior, Leitner. Today he can be said to be the most embarrassing person in the room. With his arrogant self-esteem, he definitely can't stand such a thing. It is also possible to scratch his arm with a razor blade. With a character like Hill's, it's impossible not to comfort him.
Sure enough, Hill came back half an hour later, with a look on his face that suggested he had done something wrong, and smiled guiltily at Meng Lang. It's like a wife who goes out to have sex and is worried about being discovered.
"Man, I hope you don't blame me!"
A gentleman is magnanimous.
Hill finally confessed to Meng Lang, "I have been fighting side by side with Christian for two years. I don't want to see him sink. I am not choosing to take sides. I hope there will be no estrangement between us because of this matter... "
Then he added his true feelings about today's game: "You are one of the most comfortable partners I have ever worked with!"
This "one" was added in a hurry when he caught a glimpse of Hurley in the room.
It's obviously a movie about three people, but I don't deserve a name. Hurley has no other choice but to pretend to have gone to bed long ago.
Meng Lang waved his hand magnanimously: "Man, I won't misunderstand you, but I know that I will definitely get up very late tomorrow."
"I will prepare a sumptuous breakfast for you in the room." Grant Hill reacted instantly, showing excellent instant power.
Comfortable!
However, what woke Meng Lang the next day was not the aroma of the breakfast that Grant Hill had brought him as he imagined, but Hardaway's loud voice and the banging of the door.
After being woken up for two consecutive days, Grant Hill couldn't bear it anymore and finally said something uneducated: "I'm going to prepare the sack first, guys, we must make this guy speechless forever!"
Hurley had a more crude way. He wanted to drug Hardaway to stun him, and then find a gay guy to slap his mouth hard, making him feel sick whenever he spoke in the future.
"Are you this energetic every morning?"
Hill went to the toilet, flushed away his urine and dissatisfaction, and then opened the door. But looking at Hardaway's face, he still gave up and asked angrily.
The excited Hardaway did not pay attention to these details. He raised the newspaper in his hand: "Guys, we reported it. Many media guessed that we defeated the 'Dream Team', and we attracted huge attention!"
This is the main reason why he came to training camp!
Fire it up hard!
Yesterday, Old K told them that the defeat of the "Dream Team" could not be disclosed to the outside world. He was very frustrated for a time. He did not expect reporters today to be so smart.
It's a pity that most of the headlines are about Alan Houston.
His popularity is nothing compared to Houston.
But no matter what, this is good news!
"By the way, Meng, these are all news about you, I brought them all for you!" Hardaway handed the other newspapers in his hand to Meng Lang, "These are all!"
so much?
Meng Lang was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that he would be the center of attention.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed a very incredible thing that a yellow man suddenly appeared in the college student sparring group.
News, its main purpose is to arouse people’s curiosity!
Meng Lang just glanced through it.
Caddy?
He didn't expect that Old K would actually give him such an identity, but his identity was indeed sensitive.
It's just that Old K's rhetoric didn't fool him successfully. These reporters were quite capable and found out the news about him joining Duke in one day.
In this era when news does not circulate, even in the superpower United States, this requires a certain amount of connections.
This is a good situation. Even before entering the NCAA, reporters are already racking their brains to learn more about him. The success rate of his "Famous Battle" has been greatly increased. But he also knew that this was just the beginning.
Putting the newspaper aside, his expression didn't change much.
Hardaway showed an awkward expression and asked: "Aren't you excited? Brother, you have been in so many newspapers!"
Some of them are even headlines!
Even for a top NCAA player like Hardaway, such a large amount of coverage is not always available.
Meng Lang said: "80% false news and speculation, how can this make me happy?"
This was another reason why Meng Lang's expression did not change.
He reported it not because of his strength, but because of his skin color and the identity given to him by Old K. This is not something to be happy about.
When we came to the arena, the number of reporters squatting there became even larger today.
Some reporters came because the "Dream Team" was suspected of losing, some came because of Meng Lang, and some simply wanted to do some interviews.
But no matter what the reason is, it is correct that their target is these college students. They want to pry open the mouths of these college students and get the inside story they want to know from their mouths.
Just like whether their guess is true!
Unfortunately, the uniform team of the "Dream Team" maintained order throughout the entire process and did not let them get close to these college students at all.
They could only watch as this group of "big power" figures disappeared at the gate of the arena again.
In the arena, the "Dream Team" has begun to warm up. Compared with the relaxed yesterday, today's "Dream Team" is much more serious and at least treats this as a game.
After about half an hour, the two sides, which had almost finished their warm-up, officially started their second training match.
The starting lineups of both sides are still the same as the previous game.
Only this time, the one who takes the lead is the "Dream Team."
With more concentration, more cooperation, and better condition, the guys in the "Dream Team" demonstrated with practical actions what "excellent players" are. In just one day, their condition recovered to 60% to 70%.
This is enough for them to clean up the college student sparring group.
Less than 4 minutes into the first quarter, the "Dream Team" launched an 11-3 "scoring surge" with full pressure.
Old K quickly raised his hand and called a timeout.
Every NCAA player came off the court gasping for air.
Not long after the game started, they already looked exhausted.
Old K knows that this is not physical fatigue, but psychological fatigue.
The serious "Dream Team" gave them a suffocating feeling on both ends of the offense and defense, which just made them lose their breath. Playing for 4 minutes is as long as playing for 40 minutes.
This is the "dream team"!
Old K wanted to say something to comfort these children.
Unexpectedly, Grant Hill spoke first: "Mike, we need Meng, can we let him play?"
Old K: Huh? ? ?
"What?"
