NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 372 Official Lin is in danger! The moment closest to death in life!
At noon the next day, Lin Tian climbed out of bed with a huge sense of satisfaction.

As soon as he woke up, he felt pain all over his body.

Tyson's punches were really heavy. When he was in a state of excitement yesterday, he didn't feel anything bad. After completely relaxing today, Lin Tian really felt like he was about to fall apart.

"Richards? Richards? I need you to help me." Lin Tian lay lazily on the bed. Since his whole body ached, he decided not to move at all, just like last night!

Well, although Lin Tian can't remember many things about last night clearly due to fighting with Tyson, drinking and celebrating, and being very tired, there are some things that he can't forget. Theron last night, that Call me heroic!
Theron felt sorry for Lin Tian and was worried that he would feel pain when he moved.

What a considerate girl!

However, after Lin Tian called several times, he found that no one was paying attention to him. He could only reluctantly get up from the bed, and then walked around the hotel room.

Then, Lin Tian discovered that the girl was gone.

Not only were the luggage and clothes gone, but a note was left on the table.

"I'm leaving, don't look for me."

Good guy, Lin Tian is just a good guy, why don't you play with me?

Then, Lin Tian saw what was underneath the note, and his whole body went numb.

A marriage certificate and a wedding photo.

Numb, completely numb.
I'm... married? Are American public officials so desperate?
Yesterday, Lin Tian finished boxing, attended the press conference, and went to the bar to have a drink. By the time Theron insisted on dragging Lin Tian to walk around on the road, it was at least the damn early morning, early morning, Are you still working?

Are all your capitalist civil servants 007?
Fortunately, there was no need for Lin Tian to recall what happened last night, and there was no need for Lin Tian to continue to worry. The considerate Theron added a line of words on the back of the note.

"As long as you don't go to the church to hold a ceremony and register, that thing doesn't have much legal effect. It's just a commemorative version and a Las Vegas specialty project. You can continue to have fun. I'm very happy. Bye."

Good guy, Lin Tian is good guy again!
He was no longer numb at this moment, he just wanted to know why Theron went crazy all of a sudden?

Holding the wedding photo, Lin Tian looked over it over and over. Theron was beautiful and had a good figure. If only she could wear this outfit when she was riding a horse last night.
Pooh! What words!

Now is not the time to think about this! I, Lin Daguan, am not this kind of person!

The point is, why did Theron escape? Did I call someone by the wrong name last night?
It's all Tyson's fault!
I'll throw him like a sack next time!
Lin Tian was thinking, and then he saw the newspapers scattered on the table.

Then, Lin Tian understood!
"Hollywood's new generation of goddesses appears in Las Vegas!" Suspected to be in love with Lin Tian! 》

That's it? Keep turning!

"Lin's tentacles are all over Hollywood!" You can question his character but not his taste! 》

Hiss. This is a bit dangerous, but it’s not that serious!
"A breakdown of the actresses who have had scandals with Lin, with different styles and beauties!" The oldest is nearly forty and the youngest is under 20! 》

This... Bellucci is the one who should be angry. Why are you, Theron, angry?
Lin Tian was looking for clues while reading and flipping through, and then he found the report that was likely to make Theron leave.

"Reporters photographed Lin and Theron walking on the streets of Las Vegas. Lin bluntly said that Theron was not his girlfriend, and they were just ordinary friends! 》

This is it!
Lin Tian slapped his thigh, indicating that the case was solved!

Now that the case has been solved, we have to find the real culprit!
Let him pay for his actions!

Go find that paparazzi, beat him up, put him in a sack, tie him with rocks, and sink him into the Pacific Ocean!
Lin Daguan is a basketball player, not an arms seller, so he can't do this.

If the culprit cannot be moved, we have to start with Theron.

Lin Tian confidently took out his phone and called Pelinka.

"Rob, I want Charlize's assistant's phone number."

"How could I have that?" Pelinka spread his hands, indicating that he didn't have such a thing.

"Stop talking nonsense. Her little assistant is 20 at most. She has blond hair and big waves and practices yoga. How the hell do you not have her phone number?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes. Pelinka might not even know the brand of other people's toilets. It’s clear as day, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with yourself here?
"Okay, okay, but I haven't gotten started with Catherine yet. You can't be so unethical! It's not enough to have Charlize, and you want to compete with me for an assistant?"

"Damn it, can you hurry up?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to this guy who was keen on drinking soup with Lin Tian.

Pelinka also saw that Lin Tian was not in good condition. While reading the phone number, he asked curiously: "Did the car roll over?"

"We got the certificate." Lin Tian said this, then hung up the phone, and then put Pelinka's number on the blacklist.

Let this bastard guess the real situation! I don't believe you are not in a hurry.

I'll let you play tricks on me, but I'm going to deal with bastards like you!

After taking care of Pelinka, Lin Tian started to call Theron’s Catherine. Unexpectedly, this girl, Theron’s personal assistant, didn’t know where Theron had gone!
He just said that his boss suddenly gave him a holiday and let him have a good rest for a few days.

"Then where does your boss go when he's in a bad mood?"

"Dallas!" This time, the assistant said without hesitation: "The boss's mother is in Dallas. She has a ranch there. She takes time out to accompany her mother every year."

"Exact location!"

Solve the case again!

After getting the detailed address, Lin Tian was not in a hurry, called the hotel service, and then lay back on the bed.

He was really tired and in pain.

Anyway, Theron can't be lost. He needs to rest for 1-2 days and recover his health before going. It just so happens that Theron has calmed down at that time, so he is relatively easy to coax!
Three days later, at the Dallas Airport, Lin Tian, ​​who had just led his team to win the Asian Championships, waved excitedly to Lin Tian and said, "Brother, why are you here in Dallas? There are also things you like to play here?"

"No." Lin Tian said without hesitation: "This poor place is better than Cleveland and Salt Lake City. If there is nothing wrong, I won't come. I'm just looking for someone. You have to take me somewhere." "

"Okay." He roughly took the note handed over by Lin Tian, ​​without saying anything, drove the car and started moving forward with Lin Tian!
It took almost 4-5 hours to drive from the morning until the sun was almost setting. Then I finally stopped, then pointed at the huge farm opposite and said: "It's right here!"

"Thank you, brother." Lin Tian got out of the car, stretched greatly and said, "If I ask you to go back directly without waiting for me, wouldn't it be very unreasonable?"

"I'm going to die in the car after driving for 10 hours straight." He rolled his eyes and said, "But I won't bother you, Brother Lin. There is a small town ahead. I'll go there and look for a place." If we go back together tomorrow, please give me a call."

After roughly speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and drove off without further ado.

Look! What a good brother!
No wordiness, no nonsense, just do what you are told, no matter what, just one sentence will do!

It's a pity that he is too honest and doesn't like to play!
Otherwise, Lin Tian would take him to experience the beauty of the entire United States no matter what!

But seeing his current proud appearance, Lin Tian was also happy for him. I heard that this guy just completed a contract extension with the Mavericks this summer and signed a new three-year, 3 million contract.

With this contract as a foundation, the bad incident that affected his life will definitely not happen again next summer.

Of course, as far as the current situation of the China Men's Basketball Team is concerned, even without this contract, that situation will probably not happen.

I'm here, Mr. Lin!

Lin Tian didn't bother to say too much about who was right or wrong about that matter.

If I have to say it, I would say that officials only care about their own authority and face, while journalists only want to make money and publicity, and they generally don’t know how to express their thoughts. Things that could have been solved by just sitting down and chatting are almost impossible. Ruined one of the most talented big men in the history of the Chinese team.

The gain outweighs the loss!
Without thinking any more, Lin Tian stepped over the fence as a Dongguan boy and walked towards the lonely house in front of him.

"Oh!"

There was an explosion, and Lin Tian felt a gust of wind blowing past his ears, followed by an unpleasant smell of gunpowder. When Lin Tian looked down, he found that less than two meters in front of him, there was A crater.

"If you take one more step forward, I will smash that disgusting face of yours! Get out of my ranch now, immediately, immediately! No guests are welcome here!"

A middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair, dark skin because she was often exposed to the sun, a stout figure, and a standard Texas-style cowboy outfit appeared in front of Lin Tian.

In Texas, in the countryside of Dallas, it's normal to see a woman dressed like this, it's one of the hallmarks of the area.

However, if she was holding a smoking shotgun in her hand and pointing it directly at Lin Tian's head, that would be a little abnormal.

"I'm Charize's friend, I just came to chat with her!"

"Oh!"

There was another muffled sound. This time, Lin Tian was almost hit in the face by the gravel and soil that bounced off the ground. Although he did not see the bullet hole, Lin Tian was sure that the bullet was definitely not more than 1 meter away from him!
This is a crazy woman!

Lin Tian quickly gave a definition to this middle-aged woman in his mind.

"I get five assholes every week who claim to be Charlize's friends! Guess what? You're lucky! Because I didn't drink today and my gun is spot on!"

"Just last week, I shot an unlucky guy in the knee!"

Having said this, the woman suddenly opened the leather buckle on her waist, took out a bottle of what was most likely wine, and took several sips.

"So now, what do you think of my drinking capacity? Can I miss it in one gulp, or ten gulps, huh?"

"I am really Charize's friend. You can let her come out. As long as she sees me, I guarantee that the misunderstanding will be resolved!"

Facing the crazy woman with a gun, Lin Tian was very honest.

Just kidding, American Iai + Texas cowboy + a sip of wine, who the hell dares to mess with that?
Especially if someone looks like he is a very accurate marksman, that would be even more dangerous.

Who knows if she drank too much.

The middle-aged woman took another sip of wine and said, "What you said is very uncreative. I see at least five of Charize's friends every week. By the way, after drinking, My hands will be a little shaky."

"Are you sure you won't leave yet?"

"I will never leave until I see Charize!" Lin Tian said righteously, saying that I will not leave today!

"Bang!" The third gunshot sounded, and Lin Tian felt that his feet could already feel the warmth of the bullet.

At the same time, his whole body was already covered in dirt from the bullets that bounced off the ground.

This man's marksmanship is so accurate!

big head!

But Lin Tian still didn't leave. He still raised his hands and said: "I just want to talk to Chariz. She really knows me. You may also know me. My name is Lin, and I am an NBA player."

"Why don't you say you are the press secretary of the White House or a European royal family? That might scare me more." The woman took another sip of wine, and the gun remained motionless, pointing at Lin Tian's head.

This is definitely the most dangerous moment in Lin Tian's life!

But he still didn't leave, he still stood there motionless.

As for the reason?

At the house 200 meters away, there was a vague figure swaying there. The girl's cowboy hat was pulled down very low, but you could tell that the girl was looking this way!

Judging by his body shape, he is most likely Theron!
Therefore, Lin Tian was sure that he was very safe. No matter what the relationship between this woman and Theron was, Theron knew that she was coming to him with a gun, so Lin Tian was convinced that this was the test Theron gave him!

I am very safe!

Lin Tian gave himself a mental stamp in his mind again, and then glanced at the girl wearing a cowboy hat in the distance.

"I've never seen such a thick-skinned person! You really think I don't dare to blow your head off, do you? I count to three, if you don't turn around and get out, I guarantee you will never be able to leave Texas in your life!" The middle-aged woman's patience It seemed that it was finally gone. He cursed and raised his gun again and started counting!
It must be the final test!
Lin Tian told himself in his heart, let yourself hold on!

"2!"

It's impossible to actually shoot!
No, where’s the damn 1?
"Go to hell, kid!"

As soon as the curse word came out, an exclamation suddenly came over.

"Lin? Mom? What are you doing?"

coming! finally come!
"Oh!"

Suddenly there was another gunshot, this time very close to Lin Tian!
Lin Tian even felt that something was leaving him!
hat! It's a hat! The Indiana-colored hat turned into pieces and disappeared from Lin Tian's head. Lin Tian even smelled a burnt smell.

He quickly reached out to pat his head, and then put out the fire that had just sprouted a few sparks.

Then, Lin Tiancai saw Theron who was getting off a horse. At this moment, Theron didn't look like a sassy female knight at all. Her face was full of worry, and she quickly ran to Lin Tian's side.

"Are you okay? Did it hit you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Such as tinnitus, dizziness or other concussion symptoms?"

"I was hit." Lin Tian was very frightened at this time. His feet went soft and he lay directly in Theron's arms: "My heart was hit by you!"

After sending out the disgusting earthy love words, Theron's face turned red obviously, and then he pushed Lin Tianda away and said: "I thought I made it clear enough, it's over between us."

"No, I don't know at all." Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm just here to ask you what you mean!"

"Let's not talk about it for now." Theron shook his head and turned to look at his mother, who was a bit thicker than her, but her eyebrows were somewhat similar to hers: "What are you doing? What if you shoot someone else again?”

"No, my gun is very accurate! Unless he really attacks me, he is very safe." Theron's mother, Gerda Theron, shrugged, looking confident.

But at this time... Lin Tian remembered another thing that terrified him.

The girl he had been looking at, a hundred meters away, was still standing there.

In other words...Theron suddenly came back from somewhere else.

In other words...if Theron didn't arrive in time, he would really be doomed.
Mad, what a big loss! Chasing a girl almost cost you your life! "You hit his head!" Theron's voice became louder obviously: "If it had been off by two centimeters, he might have died!"

"Then it's not your fault, he's the bastard who made you sad, right? Lin?" Gerda snorted.

"Well, maybe there is a little misunderstanding between us." Lin Tian touched his hair that was still a little sticky, interrupted the mother and daughter and said, "Can we go in and talk?"

"As you wish, you are not my guest." Gerda glared at Lin Tian, ​​said nothing more, but turned around and walked towards her house.

"Let's talk while we walk." As for Theron, he held his horse with one hand and walked with Lin Tian with a worried look on his face and said, "Why are you here?"

"Coming to find you!" Lin Tian said as he should.

"I mean, why don't you leave? My mother would never just shoot at someone. She must have warned you many times! Why don't you leave first?"

"Because I haven't seen you yet." Lin Tian said, but what he was thinking was: because I thought I had already seen you.

"You are really a damn bastard." Theron shook his head and continued: "But you should not expose yourself to a stranger's gun. You should never do this! How do you know who she is? ?”

"I think she looks a lot like you. I think she is a good person and won't really shoot!" Lin Tian continued to talk nonsense.

At this time, the two of them had walked to the house, and then Lin Tian saw the 'girl' who almost killed him.

A scarecrow in full denim!
If I had known that this thing wasn't you but a scarecrow, I would have run away at the first shot!
One step later, I, Lin Daguan, wrote the word "林" upside down from left to right!

But now, Lin Tian thinks: Wrong call!

This is the Son of Destiny!

Not only was I uninjured, but Theron was also shown his incredible bravery.

The two people didn't say much next, but walked into Theron's room. Theron helped Lin Tian take off his muddy clothes, checked his head to make sure he was fine, and then found another set of clothes to give to him. Lin Tian changed.

Lin Tian turned over and pressed Theron under him: "Why do you have men's clothes in your house?"

"Prepared for you." Theron said resignedly: "I have been waiting for this day. When you come to my house, I will formally introduce you to my mother. Then we will eat together, ride horses in the pasture, and herd sheep. What."

"I didn't expect that your first meeting with my mother would be so unpleasant. If I had known, I wouldn't have said bad things about you in front of her."

Hearing Theron's true feelings, Lin Tian couldn't help himself. He closed his eyes and leaned over gently.

After a long time, Lin Tian pointed to a wedding dress and a suit on the wall and said, "Are these the clothes we wore that day?"

"Yes, but to you it's just a costume. Just think of it as acting in a play with me." Theron shrugged and said, "You want to know why I left? It's because I found that I left. I won’t drive you anymore.”

"There are still so many girls around you, and maybe there will always be so many girls, but I am gradually beginning to be dissatisfied with being just one of so many girls!"

"Now at least I'm married to you. Even if it's fake, I'm still happy. My wish has come true, so it's time for me to leave. It's that simple."

"But you shouldn't tell untrue stories to your mother. It was so untrue that she almost blew my head off." Lin Tian couldn't help but touch his head again, it was so scary!
American Iai is so scary!
"Actually, I didn't tell her anything, but she would collect all the reports she could find about me, and then my mother would easily know it was you." Theron sat up and looked at Lin Tian.

"What about now? Are you going to leave me now?" Lin Tian continued to ask.

"No." Theron said very decisively this time, "If there is a man who is willing to lose his life for me, I don't know what reason I have to leave him!"

"Lin, I won't leave again unless you drive me away!"

Seeing Theron's eyes that were about to get hairy, Lin Tian decided to exercise again!
My head almost exploded. Would I be worthy of myself if I didn’t do it again?

"I don't care what you two are doing in there, but now, it's time to eat!" At the critical moment, Gerda's voice came, still very impatient, still with a hint of disgust.

Also, who is a good person who can accept his girl and a man staying in the room for an hour at a time without covering up at all?

If she doesn't just come in with a gun, Gerda has received a higher education and is a well-educated and polite person!

Lin Tian thought of Gerda holding a gun, stood up quickly, got dressed and said, "Shall we go to dinner?"

Lin Tian's cute but cowardly look made Theron laugh completely: "That's great. If you hadn't come to me, I might never see you like this in my life!"

"Don't be afraid of my mother, she is very reasonable!"

"Be reasonable? If I hold a shotgun, I must be very reasonable!" Lin Tian was still frightened: "Does she hold a gun like this to strangers every day?"

"Every day, because someone breaks into our house and wants to take some pictures of me." Theron shrugged. "But she almost never fired a gun!"

"Then why me?" Lin Tian was confused!

Basically no shooting? Bullshit! One of these girls must have lied!

He obviously almost got killed just after entering the ranch!
What a liar!
"Because she knows you." Theron pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table and said: "She has read so many of my reports, and of course she has also read some of yours. She has long known about our relationship and about you. Who are you and what do you look like?”

"So from the beginning, she was targeting you!"

Good guy!
Lin Tian is such a good guy!
She finally knows who Theron learned her acting skills from! Lin Tian gave Gerda 90 points for her acting skills in the scene just now! In addition, Lin Tian will give 95 points to that shotgun! And award the best actor trophy to that shotgun!

Good fellow! The trajectory is so stable! If there is a slight deviation, hiss, it’s terrible!
"I'm just helping my daughter out." Gerda sat down with the food and said, "When are you leaving?"

"Mom! I want to stay with you for a few more days!" Theron immediately acted coquettishly.

"Come on, I want to shoot this bastard when I see him. For his safety, you two had better leave early tomorrow morning, otherwise I'm not sure if my next shot will be so accurate!"

Gerda waved her hands impatiently, then lowered her head and started eating. She didn't say a word for the entire meal. As for Lin Tian, ​​she didn't dare to say anything.

Really shivering!
However, fearful and timid, when Lin Tian and Theron walked around the pasture after dinner and then returned to the room, Lin Tian quickly returned to his true nature.

He pointed to the wedding dress hanging on the wall and said, "How about you wear this!"

The main theme is a bold and courageous character, fearless and unafraid!

Early the next morning, when Lin Tian and Theron packed their things and were about to leave together, Gerda walked up to the two of them. She looked at Lin Tian with a gloomy face and said: "Boy, I brought Charizi Leave it to you, but if you make her angry again and make her come back here crying."

"I don't care what the reason is, but I promise to put a gun in your mouth and blow your whole head off! Do you understand?"

"Mom! We are just friends!" Theron snorted and replied something that even Lin Tian found incredible!

friend? What friend? The kind of good friends who sleep together at night?

"I don't care how you young people play, or what your relationship is. I don't care about that." Gerda ignored Theron, but continued to stare at Lin Tian closely: "What I'm asking is, do you know? "

"I know! I know!" Lin Tian nodded quickly, showing the most well-behaved side of his life.

Then, Theron finally stepped on the accelerator and drove away!

Survived! Got away alive!

This is what Lin Tian thinks.

"She must like you very much." Theron was obviously in a very good mood: "If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have said so much to you!"

"She also likes to joke." Lin Tian said with a smile: I just hope that next time I joke, if I don't open my mouth, my head will be shot, if I shut up, my face will be smashed. "

"Gerda is probably the least joking person I have ever met in my life!" Theron suddenly tilted her neck and said, "I dare say she is definitely serious!"

seriously.
Really
of.
Looking at Theron's serious face, Lin Tian suddenly remembered another thing——

And then he took Theron at his word.

Gerda, you are absolutely serious!

At the very least, Theron's father must have thought Gerda was joking.

Lin Tian would never make this kind of mistake!

Lin Tian swallowed, and he suddenly began to expect the system to give him something good again, such as grabbing a blank blade with bare hands, 100% bullet dodge, or similar life-saving skills.

Otherwise, it would be really scary.
"Okay Lin, you don't have to worry too much." Theron looked at Lin Tian's rare moment of cowardice and couldn't help laughing: "When you mess around, just don't let her find out, my mother Except for things related to me, I basically don’t read entertainment news.”

"That's good, that's good! Then I'll feel relieved." Lin Tian stroked his little heart, it was safe!

"FUXX! Lin, you are really a damn bastard." Theron rolled her eyes. At this moment, she was a little confused about what kind of shit Lin Tian was.

"A normal person shouldn't say at this time that he will never find another woman. Shouldn't you reassure me?"

"My dear, you have to know that this is difficult! But I swear, I will never lie to you!"

Lin Tianyi's words are taken for granted, and the main character has no shame at all!
After this time, Lin Tian simply drove with Theron and drove around Texas for a long time. They had a good time at many scenic spots. During this period, they were of course attracted by many reporters and paparazzi. , fans saw it and caught it.

But the two people have obviously reached a tacit understanding that goes without saying. No matter who asks or interviews them, they always say the same thing: just friends!
Even though a reporter directly published a photo of the two holding hands walking by the Medina Lake, the two still said: just friends!
Very tough!

The main thing is that as long as the two of us are not photographed doing errands, then we are definitely just ordinary friends, and we are shameless and refuse to admit it!

After the two of them wandered around Texas for almost a week, they had enough fun. Then they parted ways in Houston, and Theron had to return to Los Angeles to continue his work.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he has to go back to Indiana.

The training camp for the 2001-2002 season is about to begin!

However, what Lin Tian never expected was that as soon as he got off the plane, he would be surrounded by countless reporters!
More than half of them are not sports reporters but entertainment reporters!
"Lin, are you and Charize engaged?"

"Excuse me, is Charize pregnant?"

"We heard that Charlize rejected all the passionate scenes in the new film and announced that he would not do any more passionate scenes from now on. Is this for you?"

"Excuse me, are you secretly married?"

"Okay, okay, everyone, okay!" Lin Tian spread his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he said: "I said, we are just ordinary friends!"

"But you were seen walking hand in hand!"

"You were even seen kissing in a bar on the street!"

Seeing the unwilling reporters, Lin Tian decided to come up with a trick! He stretched out his hand again and said: "Everyone, I don't deny what you said, it all happened."

"But what I want to say is, what can these prove? We are indeed ordinary friends!"

"We walked hand in hand, went out together, and even took a photo in a wedding dress. I admit it! But this does not mean that we are married or in a relationship."

"This can only prove that we did this together. Other than that, it can't prove anything!"

Awesome!
The reporters below have seen many big scenes and interviewed many difficult people, but this is really the first time they have seen Lin Tian so shameless and shameless!

Do you really admit everything, but admit nothing?

Seeing the surprised eyes of the reporters, Lin Tian was very satisfied!

Sure enough, magic attack is the most invincible attack!
I, Lin Daguan, tried to trick Tang Niu... No! Lin Shao's inequality, how do you deal with it?

response?

Can't handle it! The version is 20 years out of date! After 20 years, I still haven’t used this technique. I can’t handle it at all!

After easily dealing with reporters, Lin Tian finally returned to his long-lost home in Indiana!
He can relax completely and have a good rest for a few days!

Of course, it's just a few days.

The team's training camp will officially start next Monday!
Then there are the preseason, regular season, playoffs, and finals.
After a busy summer comes an even busier season!
In addition, after finally being free, Lin Tian also contacted Bird, Pelinka and others to learn about the situation of the Pacers and the entire league.

For the Pacers, whose goal is to win three consecutive championships, the most important thing they have done this year is to maintain the stability of the lineup!
In the summer, Bird retained Christie, the hero of the team's three championships in the past four years, for a price of 3 million over three years!

In Bird's words, when Christie stayed this time, he made a lot of concessions in terms of the amount and length of the contract!

It is said that Sacramento and several other teams have offered him a four-year contract worth around 4 million!

But after much thought, Christis decided to stay!
Stay with the Pacers and create a true dynasty!

In addition to renewing Christie's contract, another thing Bird did was not renew his contracts with Carter and Harrington, two players who were getting better and better!

It's not that he didn't want to, but that he really couldn't withstand the pressure from his boss.

Originally, according to the intention of the two owners, they wanted to sell these two guys whose rookie contracts were about to expire in exchange for some future assets during the offseason, when their contract amounts were low and their transaction values ​​were high. of!
They want to start saving money!

But Bird used his sharp tongue and spent almost the whole summer discussing this matter with his two bosses.

In the end, the Simon brothers gave in and said they would not participate in the management of the team or force the team to make a trade.

But their request is also very simple: save money!

The luxury tax can be paid, but the maximum is 1500 million. Any more and they will ask Bird to clear salary space!
Except for Christie, the Pacers did not introduce any other free agents with a minimum salary or above this year. They just continued to sign people with a minimum salary, and then renewed their contracts with the old comrades in the team, thus forming their new season's team. line-up!

At the same time, with the opening of training camp, the league also announced the salary cap and luxury tax threshold for this season!

Perhaps because Lin Tian, ​​Dayao, Yu and other Chinese players joined in advance, the league's income is slightly better, so this number is higher than the number in Lin Tian's memory, but it is also higher than Bird's previous estimate. The optimal state is somewhat worse.
