NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 347 Lin is injured! The injury is serious enough to affect the All-Star Game and playoffs!

"The Pacers narrowly defeated the Warriors by 2 points, Lin Tian only scored 43 points! 》

"Stop 8 games!" Lin Tian's consecutive 50+ record has finally come to an end. Let's look back at Lin's performance in these eight games! 》

"8 consecutive games with 50+ points and 9 consecutive games with 40+ points, Lin's performance this season is terrifying! 》

"The Strongest Mode!" When his teammates fell, Lin's performance was so strong that it made people crazy! 》

"Only fourth in the MVP rankings?" Continuing this ranking, Lin may be able to average 40 points per game this season! 》

"Never underestimate the heart of a madman!" When Lin wants to score, no one can stop him! 》

"The King of January!" Looking back at Lin's performance when he became Player of the Month for the first time in January 1 years ago! 》

"The legend begins here!" In January 5 years ago, when Jordan was absent due to injury, Lin took the first step to becoming a top point guard! 》

"Still a mystery to this day: How did Michael Jordan sprain his ankle 5 years ago? 》

"A lot of doubts! Anorectal doctors gathered outside Michael Jordan's room, but the injury announced was an ankle sprain? 》

"FUXX! What the hell is this! It's none of my business! Lin gets 50 points, it's none of my business! Did these reporters grow up eating shit? Is there nothing in their minds except shit?" In the office of the president of the Washington Wizards, Jordan angrily smashed the newspaper in his hand on the table!

He was really furious right now.

Lin Tian scored 8+ in 50 consecutive games, awesome!
Lin Tian made 13 three-pointers in a single game, awesome!
But it’s none of my business!

You report it, just report it, why bother me, it’s just bullshit, why the hell are you bringing out the most painful and despairing thing in my career? Is it your rice that I eat with my sprained feet?
When Jordan is extremely angry, that's when Wizards players are unlucky.

After all, he is not the type to be sulky alone and get angry at himself. He is the type to vent his anger immediately when he is unhappy!
"Boss, you're here." In the Wizards' training ground, their interim head coach Leonard couldn't help but trembled when he saw Jordan coming in.

After all, the Wizards have only won 9 games now. With this kind of record, the most dangerous person for this team is the head coach! As long as the boss is in a bad mood, he can be fired and laid off at any time.

Every time he saw Jordan, he was terrified.

"Here, where are the players?" Jordan chewed gum, but what he wanted was not the head coach's reply. He went straight to the training ground.

"Richard? Come here and play one-on-one with me!" Jordan glanced at the players on the court and casually pointed to the team's second-year guard. Hamilton, who was not wearing a mask, said: "Come and play two-on-one."

This is Jordan's way of venting his anger, beating up little Karami on the team!

Hamilton's face immediately turned into a bitter melon, full of bitterness.

Serious people, who wants to play one-on-one with Jordan?

Even though this old guy is already 40 years old, his energy is not less at all. Not only is it not less, it is even more fierce!
In particular, this old guy not only has the same energy, but his skills, abilities, shooting accuracy and other things have not declined at all!
Not only is it almost impossible to win in a duel with him, but you also have to endure his almost non-stop trash talk!

It's definitely a physical and mental torture!

"Hitting 13 3-pointers in a single game is awesome, isn't it?" Jordan just stood with Hamilton, raised his elbow and hit Hamilton on the chest, muttering: "You little bean sprout, If I didn’t beat you until you cry for father and mother, you wouldn’t even know why the flowers are so red!”

Of course Lin Tian didn't know about Hamilton's screams. What he knew was that the team's schedule was finally a little simpler.

He finally no longer has to score 50 points to ensure the team's victory.

In the last 1 games in January, Lin Tian's score did not exceed 4 in 3 games. In the remaining game, he only scored 40 points.

Compared with Lin Tian's crazy scoring journey in the first half of the month, his 8 consecutive 50-point performances, his performance in the last few games is really "mediocre"!
And when the Pacers played their last game on January 1, Lin Tian's experience card finally ended, and his crazy journey this month finally came to an end.

This month, the Pacers played a total of 13 games and achieved a perfect record of 13 consecutive victories. Lin Tian himself scored 8 points in 50 games! It's still continuous. At the same time, there were only 3 games where the score did not exceed 40 points. In the remaining 10 games, the score exceeded 40 points in all!
Lin Tian's average data per game this month has also reached a very exaggerated level.

场均47.7分8.1篮板6.9助攻3.5抢断和1.2盖帽！

His three shooting percentages reached 59.4%, 49.8% and 94.1% respectively!

It is worth mentioning that he averaged 47.7 points per game in a single month, ranking fifth in NBA history!

As for the top four.
It's the same person again! The inescapable monster, Wilt Chamberlain!
But Lin Tian's performance this month can definitely be called a 'monster of the new era'!
Terrifyingly strong!
Incredibly strong!

Apart from these words, I really can't find any suitable words to describe Lin Tian.

He really did it all!
When the team was short of major generals, he carried the team by himself and led the team to consecutive victories. While regaining first place in the Eastern Conference, he also bloodbathed several of the league's top teams!

Kings, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Magic...

The Pacers' schedule this month was not easy, but Lin Tian withstood it and led the team to a complete victory without Carter and Webber!

Of course, he also won 3 Players of the Week and this month's Player of the Month! His ranking in the MVP rankings has reached the first position without any suspense, and he has destroyed the entire league!

The Pacers' record has gone from 12 wins and 21 losses at the end of December to 9 wins and 34 losses today! They once again firmly occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference, and they once again come to the first place in the strength list. Now their record is not as good as the Lakers with 9 wins and 36 losses!

This month, the Pacers went from fourth in the league to second in the league!

而林天自己的赛季场均数据，在1月份开始之前，是26.3分11.1助攻6.2篮板3.1抢断。

By the end of January, Lin Tian's statistics had reached a terrifying 1 points, 32.9 assists, 9.8 rebounds, 6.7 steals and 3.2 blocks!

A crazy month!

In this month, although Lin Tian's assists per game dropped by almost 1.5, his scoring experienced a crazy surge, from 26 points to nearly 33 points!
This huge improvement of 7 points directly allowed Lin Tian to go from fifth place in the original scoring list to surpass Kobe, O'Neal, and Stackhouse, and reach second place!

He is only 0.1 points away from No. Iverson!

Even if Iverson hadn't been in equally hot form this month, averaging close to 35 points per game, he would have been overtaken by Lin Tian long ago!

But if everything goes according to the rhythm of January, Lin Tian can overtake Iverson in at most a week and win the second scoring title of his career!
After all, his recent state is really terrifying!

For fans, the most painful and happiest thing at this time must be that the Pacers' lineup is finally in order again!

Carter and Webb, who had been absent for almost 2 months, finally fully recovered. After getting the consent of the team doctor, they chose to return to the court on the same day!
On February 2st, these two guys made a successful comeback in the Pacers' home game against the Pistons!
The reason for choosing this time couldn't be simpler.

It’s the first game after comeback, find a soft persimmon and give it a good squeeze!
And long before this game started, the fans had a very bad premonition!
Lin Tian was afraid that he was about to paddle!

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Lin Tian entered passing mode!

In the first round, he sent an alley-oop pass to Carter, assisting Carter to complete a powerful two-handed windmill dunk!

Then Lin Tian and Weber's pick-and-roll cooperation reappeared on the court. Lin Tian knocked the ball on the floor with one hand, and Weber also held the ball and completed a one-arm dunk!

Two consecutive assists in the first two rounds are enough to illustrate Lin Tian's attitude towards tonight's game!

You two have just come back. Let's play around a little more to get a feel for it. Leave the place to you guys!

This night, Lin Tian only took 15 shots in total and scored 24 points, but at the same time he sent 17 assists!
Obviously, rather than competing with Iverson for the honor of scoring, Lin Tian wants to continue to monopolize his ranking on the assists list!
After all, after the surge throughout January, Lin Tian's assists per game ranking has dropped from first place to, well, just second place!

This year, no one in the league averages more than 10 assists per game. Only Kidd's 9.9 assists are temporarily ahead of Lin Tianyi and ranked in front of him.

But judging from Lin Tian’s efficiency in sending assists tonight
Well, if Kid pulls his crotch once, he will be overtaken by Lin Tian again!
On a night when Lin Tian only scored 24 points, Iverson was in Philadelphia next door, but he was on full fire and scored 53 points in the whole game, slightly widening the gap between Diudiu and Lin Tian. Working hard for the first scoring title in his career!
In the past few years, Iverson has been the runner-up in the scoring list several times. If second place is the biggest loser, then Iverson has really lost!

This year, we finally got a new coach, and he is still the kind of open coach who allows Iverson to play his best without any interference or restrictions. This style of play has greatly improved Iverson's status and statistics. .

So of course Iverson will not miss the opportunity this year!
He wants to win his first scoring title!

As time enters February, this season’s All-Star voting event has officially ended!

After crazy voting by fans around the world, the ten starting players for the East and West have been announced!
In the West, the Los Angeles twins O'Neal and Kobe Bryant both received more than 200 million votes and were once again selected into the All-Star starting lineup. The other guard selected was Jason Williams, who received 140 million votes. Si!
This is also the second time in his career that 'White Chocolate' has become an All-Star starter. His selection has caused quite a bit of controversy.

If we talk about Lin Tian's previous life, Williams was the biggest legacy outside of the All-Stars and the one who was most deserving of being selected among all the players who had not entered the All-Star game.

So this time, Williams has transformed and become the weakest player among all the players who have become All-Star starters for two consecutive times!
Countless people began to question the voting mechanism and methods, and questioned what kind of league the NBA is, whether it is a circus or a competitive sport!

If it's a circus, then it's not too much for Williams to win 10 MVPs, but if it's a competitive sport, then Williams' level is still far from being an All-Star starter.

All I can say is that if you gain something, you will lose something!

But no matter what kind of public opinion crisis Williams encountered, he himself didn't care at all, while AND1 not only didn't care, but even added a lot of firewood to it!

They directly produced several new signature 'Trash Talk T-shirts' as Williams' peripheral products.

Arrogant or inspirational slogans such as 'You know nothing', 'I am the first starter in the All-Star Game', 'Don't be afraid of rumors', 'Savage growth', etc. have also become another brand new slogan on the streets. Landscape.

If the guards in the Western Conference are just controversial, then in the forward position, the Western Conference has a gap! With Duncan and Malone traveling to the East, except for Garnett, who is considered a top player, the other forwards in the West are really old and young, not worth mentioning.

In the end, Garnett was undoubtedly selected as the first forward in the Western Conference. He received 278 million votes, second only to O'Neal, and was the player with the second most votes in the Western Conference. However, another starting forward in the Western Conference, It's much shabbier.

Scottie Pippen, who has aged further this season and only averaged 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, became another starting forward in the West with 78 votes, relying on the dilemma of having no Tigers in the Western Conference. !
Fans were obviously dissatisfied with Pippen becoming the All-Star starter, but the problem was that when they looked at the Western Conference frontcourt, they finally discovered: Pippen is the one, you deserve it!
It can be seen from this point that a large number of Western forwards traveled eastward, which has resulted in a situation where they are really out of touch!

Compared to the west, the voting results in the east are equally interesting.

The top vote-getter at the center position is Alonzo Mourning, but he is still fighting an arduous battle with kidney disease. Although he has not announced that he will be reimbursed for the season, everyone knows that he may not be able to play this season, let alone this season. It has ended!

At the same time, in the ranking of Eastern Conference forwards, Carter, who had just returned from injury, was ranked first and was selected without any suspense. However, the second ranked forward was Grant Hill. Another player who has not announced his retirement for the season, but who knows who? When will the poor guy be able to play.

The ranking in the backcourt is much simpler: Lin Tian and Iverson are ahead of everyone else by a cliff and easily selected.

In other words, Lin Tian is ahead of everyone else by a cliff, while Iverson is ahead of everyone except Lin Tian!

Lin Tian raised the All-Star voting record again this year, directly getting 570 million votes! It was 10 more votes than last year, and Iverson got 290 million votes, ranking second in the entire league. As for Tracy McGrady, who ranked third, he only had a pitiful 130 million votes. Even Iverson's Not half of it was achieved.

To put it simply, in the final roster of the Eastern Conference, two positions are underperformed, and two and a half positions are weak.

At the same time, this also means that there will be two replacement quotas in the Eastern Conference. At that time, Stern will appoint two lucky guys to replace Mourning and Hill as the new All-Star starter!
In addition, when it comes to candidates for the All-Star individual competition, Stern wants to find Lin Tian and Carter, two brothers, to participate in the slam dunk contest and have another peak showdown.

But Lin Tian refused without even thinking!
I'm not interested. I've already won the most powerful slam dunk title in history. Even if I get a lot of this thing, I can't make it a living. I might as well leave a way for others to survive.

Well, I’m talking about Carter!

Theoretically speaking, with Carter's dunking ability, in recent years, apart from Lin Tian, ​​only Jason Richardson, who will enter the league next year, can barely compete with him. No one else can be Carter's opponent. Carter should be able to capture this slam dunk king.

Unexpectedly, Carter refused directly, saying that if Lin Tian didn’t go, I wouldn’t go either!
Then? Then AND1 quickly called Lin Tian and asked him to persuade Carter.

They have even thought of advertising slogans such as the two dunk kings taking off side by side. If Carter doesn't participate, wouldn't that make it difficult for me, Fat Tiger?

Of course, AND1 would not call Lin Tian specifically because of such a small matter. They had another purpose for calling Lin Tian: sneaker contract!

Previously, Lin Tian signed a five-year contract with AND1, which included basic salary, bonuses and various commissions. After that contract was released, it triggered a lot of discussion and countless people Everyone thinks AND 5 is crazy! Well, even the three founders of AND1 actually thought they were crazy.

They actually provided Lin Tian, ​​a defender who had just played for one year, with such a huge contract called the 'second sneaker contract in history'.

But fortunately, the final result is perfect! Lin Tian and AND1 both got what they wanted, and both parties made a lot of money. This cooperation is also called the most successful win-win cooperation after Jordan and Nike!

After taking over Lin Tian, ​​AND1's reputation, influence, sales and weight around the world have gradually expanded, and they have gradually begun to compete with top brands such as Adidas and Nike.

At the same time, their contracted players are already second only to Nike, ranking second in the league! In addition to Lin Tian, ​​it also has two All-Star starting level players in Carter and Williams! If you only look at the level of top players, AND 1 is no worse than Nike!
AND1 has successfully globalized and scaled its brand, becoming a world-class sports brand and the favorite of street teenagers around the world.

Lin Tian, ​​on the other hand, has also made a lot of money with the help of the AND1 brand. In the past few years, AND1 has given him millions of dollars every year just from the dividends and profits of his sneakers! The share alone is higher than the sneaker contracts of more than 95% of the players in the league!

It can be said that Lin Tian and AND1 definitely achieve mutual success and win-win cooperation!
But no matter how good the cooperation is, the contract will expire sometimes. When the contract expires, it must be renewed!
That five-year contract will expire in July this year. What AND5 means is that there is no need to wait until July to listen to other brands' quotes. We can directly renew the contract in advance and let other companies like Adidas and Nike Get out of here!
Regarding AND1's proposal, Lin Tian didn't say much. If you want to renew it in advance, then let's continue it!
After all, for an athlete of Lin Tian's level, after so many years of cultivating this brand, suddenly changing careers would definitely do more harm than good. His brand image needs to be reshaped, he needs to re-create products, and he also needs to risk whether the fans will accept it. risks of.

Unless AND1 went crazy and gave Lin Tian some insulting offer to enslave him, otherwise, Lin Tian would have almost no need or idea to change brands!

Then Lin Tian thought of the three AND1 founders with dreadlocks and reggae hair, each of whom looked more street-level, more rock-n-roll, and more like a second-rate person than a big business owner. Lin Tian felt: What he thought A bit much. Those three guys were very interested in Lin Tian, ​​and Lin Tian could even envision those three people coming to negotiate with him.

"Lin, we are old friends. Let's open the skylight and talk openly. We will directly give you a price that you can't refuse. Then you sign the contract directly. Let's go to a happy place to have fun!"

Well, that's most likely the case.

After making an appointment with AND1, Lin Tian hung up the phone.

As for the fact that they asked Lin Tian to help persuade Carter to participate in the dunk contest, Lin Tian didn't take it to heart anyway, and Lin Tian felt that they didn't take it to heart either.

Negotiating a new sneaker contract is the top priority!
There was a 3-point contest next, and Stern also invited Lin Tian. He meant to let Lin Tian go up and continue his work.

But Lin Tian once again expressed no interest and would not go!
"Your old projects are not interesting at all. So, when you develop something new, call me again. I will definitely go then!"

"That's what you said!" When Stern heard this, he immediately became excited: "Let's see you next year!"

After Stern finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Lin Tian a chance to react!
It's a deal, no regrets! See you next year!
After hanging up the phone, Stern called the technical department directly: "You guys, design a new and fun All-Star individual game for me, one that defenders can participate in. Design it immediately, and I will invest in it next year." Use it to make this thing a new single challenge!"

Well, Stern actually has no clue at the moment and has never thought about this matter at all, but if Lin Tian agrees, he must let Lin Tian come! Otherwise, what if this thing is delayed for another two years and Lin Tian, ​​a bastard, turns his back and refuses to act like a rogue?
That would be a big loss!
Stern hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

In fact, he is very dissatisfied with the results of this year's All-Star voting!

It's not that he is dissatisfied with the selected players, he doesn't care who is in the starting lineup and who is not. Even Stern feels that the best 10 players are full of controversy, and the best 10 players can trigger the kind of discussion and controversy that Williams had. That’s great!

All he wants is attention and traffic!
What Stern was dissatisfied with was Lin Tian's vote count!
Only 570 million!
Too little! It stands to reason that based on Lin Tian's performance in January this year, Stern originally thought that Lin Tian would explode in one fell swoop and directly push the voting record to 1 million!

But who knows, this is only an increase of 10 compared to last season!
It's too slow!
Even if this number is already 100-90 times higher than the 5 million or 6 without Lin Tianshi, what does it mean that people are so dissatisfied? What is easy from frugality to luxury, but difficult to return from luxury to frugality!

If there were no changes every year, Stern would not be dissatisfied. But now, after two consecutive years of explosive growth in the number of votes, this year's number of votes has stagnated. This situation makes Stern very unhappy. .

If you sail against the current, it will retreat if you don't advance!

After thinking for a long time, Stern came to a conclusion about this year's situation where there was almost no change in the number of votes.

Indiana is not worthy of Lin Tian!
Their market is still too small, and there is no way to fully develop Lin Tian's business potential!
Delay things! What a delay! We must find a way to let Lin Tian change his environment. Everything is for the alliance!

You Indiana, if you suffer a little loss, you'll be fine, right?

How many more years does Lin Tian have on this contract? 3 years?
You have to think of a solution in advance.

Think of a way to satisfy everyone and make everyone feel comfortable.

At the same time, Carlisle sat in front of Bird in the Pacers' president's office and said, "Larry, I have something to discuss with you."

"What? Just say it Rick, to be honest, you are doing really well this season! Even better than I thought! You have to keep working hard!"

Bird had a relaxed smile on his face. The team could still hold the first place in the Eastern Conference despite the absence of three generals. Of course he was happy!

"I think Lin is hurt!"

But his smile froze on his face in the next second. What the hell?

injured? Or do you think he was hurt? Bird's good mood disappeared in an instant. He looked at Carlisle with wide eyes and said, "What happened? When did it happen? Where was the injury? How did you find out? You mean he was injured and played A long game?”

"Then you are riding a horse and asking him to increase his strength? Are you crazy or are you out of your mind? Send him back for examination immediately! Come back for examination immediately!"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Carlisle realized that the way he spoke was wrong, scratched his forehead and said: "I mean, I think he can be hurt."

"In the past month, he played too long! He didn't rest for almost a whole month. He faced the league's top opponents for the whole month. He had to face the opponent's double-team defense for the whole month. And isolated.”

"We have won 14 consecutive victories, but I think that now that everyone is back, it is time to let Lin take a rest in advance. Otherwise, if he is too tired and suffers from overwork, he will end up in the playoffs near the end of the season. He suffered an injury during the game or playoffs."

"What you said makes sense." Bird nodded in agreement with Carlisle's words. He felt that Carlisle was right!

Lin Tian really needs to rest.

"Especially since Lin joined the league in 95, he only lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals in one season. In the remaining seasons, he reached the finals and won the championship! And the only series he lost, Lin also played almost every game and played the highest workload of his career."

"This summer, Lin also played in the Olympics and more than ten warm-up games! He didn't take a break all summer! And so far in Lin's career, he has almost never missed a game due to injury! The reason for his absence from the game , all because of fighting and being banned from the league.”

"So really, he really needs to take a break and relax. Maybe it doesn't take much time, but 1-2 weeks, I think it's okay."

"I agree." Bird, who was a player, didn't say much. He nodded directly and said, "It's up to you! I'll leave it all to you!"

In the next few days, the league's games continued. After winning another game, the Pacers finally lost again. Their winning streak ended at 15 consecutive victories.

At the same time, the league also announced the substitute lineup for this year's All-Star Game, the entries for each individual event, and the Rookie Challenge.

Everyone began to feel a little more relaxed at this time. After all, the All-Star Game is coming!

Everyone can enjoy the rare All-Star Weekend, recover from their exhaustion, and enjoy a wonderful show.

This time of year is also considered by many to be the most boring stage of the long regular season. Players will relax at this time, resulting in low quality games. The league will also try to arrange some games during this period. Come and play a less high-profile game.

The alliance will basically not arrange those focus games and key battles during this time period to prevent the games from being unsightly and affecting the alliance's brand.

In short, at this stage, especially after the All-Star Game rosters are announced, stars from all walks of life will inevitably paddle and relax in advance.

And this year’s king of paddling is undoubtedly Lin Tian!

On February 2, the Pacers did not have a game today, and the entire team trained as usual.

After Lin Tian changed his clothes and was on his way to the training hall as usual, he accidentally kicked the water glass that Ben had just finished drinking. The water glass fell over and the hot water spilled all over the floor.

"Ben, after you drink the water, can't you put the water cup away? Come over here with a mop and mop the floor clean!" Lin Tian looked at the water stains all over the floor and felt that Ben's quality was low.

How could anyone just put a water glass in the middle of the road?

"Did you kick the water glass?" Carlisle stretched, walked over from behind Lin Tian and said, "Are you okay, Lin?"

"He just kicked the water glass, not swallowed it into his stomach." Lin Tian felt that Carlisle's question was very strange.

Something's wrong? What could happen to him?

After kicking the water glass, he broke his toe and was sidelined for 2 months? He felt that Carlisle's team had suffered too many injuries recently and was a bit disappointed.

Indeed, if the toe is broken like this, it is indeed a bit exaggerated, and it is not logical.

In order to be logical, we can only slightly beautify the whole process.

"Well, that's it. When Lin was walking, he accidentally stepped on a water glass and sprained his ankle, but it was nothing serious. There was no structural damage or swelling, just some pain."

"It's just the initial stage of a grade one sprain. If it's the playoffs now, and Lin bites the bullet, he may be able to play, but at this time of the season, we don't think it's necessary to let Lin take risks, so to be cautious, he probably can play." I will be out for 1-2 weeks to check if there are any other complications in my ankle.”

Just when Lin Tian stepped on the water cup!
It was the night when he kicked the water cup. Lin Tian was playing games at home, and then he received a call from Pelinka inexplicably. Pelinka asked Lin Tian to take a look at the team's daily injury situation, and then Lin Tian Then I found out that I was on the injured list.
Even what Carlisle said at the press conference, Lin Tian saw it later in the form of replay.

what's the situation?
I'm hurt and I don't know it?

Lin Tian, ​​who was deeply confused, originally wanted to call Carlisle to ask, but before he could call, Carlisle called.

"Have a good rest, Lin. If you want to play in the All-Star Game, take a week off and come back after the All-Star Game. If you don't want to play in the All-Star Game, take a 2-week break and come back after the All-Star Weekend. This way you can get extra Got 3 days of rest.”

"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Tiandao: "I just want to say, I was injured, why didn't I know?"

"The organization thinks that you have been too tired recently and played too much playing time, so we have decided that you should take a break. But you should not run around. If reporters find out that you have disappeared or gone to other cities to do something, Yes, they will inevitably report it randomly, which is not a good thing for you. "

Carlisle said very considerately: "But in nightclubs in Indiana, it's okay to be arrogant! In our own stores, you know best which one is safe!"

"Have a good rest, enjoy your vacation, and leave the team's affairs to us."

Lin Tian looked at Carlisle who hung up the phone quickly, as if Carlisle was afraid that he would argue with him on the phone that he didn't need to rest and could continue to call.

Lin Tian said: Brother, you are completely overthinking it! Brother, I’m not that dedicated either!
Paid vacations are still mandated by the organization.

Why should Lin Tian refuse such a good thing!

It’s time to play with life and death, and it’s time to take a break, so there’s no conflict!

Could it be that Carlisle didn't communicate with Bird, so he didn't know how low his moral integrity was?

Bird: I communicated, but I also think you love basketball very much, and I’m afraid you will refuse this kind of thing!

In short, Lin Tian and the team quickly reached an agreement. Lin Tian will miss 2 weeks due to injury and will return after 2 weeks.

Then, Lin Tian made another call to Pelinka: "I won't go to Washington to play in the All-Star Game. I will stay in Indiana. Please help me arrange an appointment with the AND1 guys to Indiana. Let's It’s time to take this time to talk about the new sneaker contract!”

"Do you need me to call people from Nike or Adidas? They are also willing to sign you. We can put some pressure on AND1 and ask them to raise the price." Pelinka's voice came over the phone, full of excitement. They are all chicken thieves.

"No need, Austin and the others are our own people, and they don't need to use such low-level business methods. And if they really can't figure it out and make any ridiculous offer, then we can just let them out!"

"Understood." Pelinka's style has always been simple and direct. After solving the matter, he quickly continued: "Then there is a group of people who I think you can meet. They also want to talk to you. Cooperation, I think, is very interesting!”

"It's okay. Let's do it during the All-Star Weekend next week. Let them all come and let's sit together and have a chat!" Lin Tian didn't ask who Pelinka had found for him to talk about cooperation, and he didn't care. .

After so many years of cooperation, he still has absolute trust in Pelinka. Although this guy is a bottomless bastard and a very thief businessman who likes to take advantage of loopholes and make money, there is absolutely no need to worry about his business ability!
Very reliable!

This guy won't find himself any silver throat pills or Dali Pills to endorse.

Even now, Lin Tian doesn't have many endorsements. Pelinka cherishes Lin Tian's feathers very much and is unwilling to let him have endorsements that can bring in money but affect his personality and worth. He has received various endorsements. All very particular.

What Lin Tian didn't know was that at this time in Boston, in the nightclub office where Pierce had treated and Lin Tian had a fight, two white men were gathered together, watching a video.

It was the surveillance video of 2VS15 between Lin Tian and Miller that night!
"It's so exciting! Hey, look at the coordination of this guy's front and back hands and fists! It's really wonderful! I've watched this video 20 times, and it's still so exciting!" A bald-headed white man waved his fist excitedly and watched the movie. The video is also analyzed.

"The forward kick he made at the beginning was really accurate and hard, and he kicked the dagger off the black man's hand! This time, the position of the kick was not accurate, or someone reacted and counterattacked with the knife, or even if the position was wrong If you make a mistake, it’s possible to kick the blade directly!”

"But looking at this kid's appearance, he is obviously confident and confident! A natural fighting prodigy! His playing in the NBA is really a waste." Another white man also expressed his opinion on Lin Tian's live fighting.

"But, let me tell you, White, no matter how beautiful and exciting this thing is, it is only a video of less than 2 minutes. Do you need to come to my place to watch it when you have nothing to do? You can just copy it and take it away. Isn’t that enough?”

"You are here where the crime happened! It's really exciting to see this thing at the crime scene!" The bald man known as White said with a smile: "Hey, I have contacted the people over there recently. I hope I can work with him to come up with something new and interesting!”

"You want to fight him in the ring? Then I'll take this store out, and you will die in the ring! Then I can directly own 10 stores!" The guy who seemed to be the owner of this nightclub immediately laughed at himself. This old guy.

"You won't be able to laugh any longer Lorenzo."

"Because you want to borrow money from me again, right?" Lorenzo rolled his eyes and said, "I will not lend you money."

"It's not a loan, it's an investment! If everything goes well, we can invest in a project together, which will definitely make a huge profit. And it's a long-term investment, which will definitely make you a fortune!"

"Come on, the profitable businesses I know are either selling fans or selling arms, but I'm not interested in either of them." Lorenzo still shrugged uninterested: "Or, at least you have to Give me a very detailed and rigorous plan and I will consider it.”

When White heard that his old buddy finally relented, his eyes immediately lit up. He knew that what the old buddy said meant that he had great investment intentions!
It seems that I am absolutely right to pester him every day for the past few months and not let go of this idea! Things are finally making progress!

If a man wants to succeed, he must be thick-skinned!
