NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Look, the most important guys in the West are here." Not long after McGrady and Hill, a pair that looked and felt distant, left, four more heavyweight guys arrived.

Kobe and O'Neal, Iverson and Garnett!

These four guys occupy the four starting spots in the Western Conference, and their teams are currently ranked second and third in the Western Conference respectively.

"Hey, long time no see." Lin Tian smiled and waved, "I thought the No. 1 in the West would arrive first, after all, Steve and his team are playing away in the East. I didn't expect you guys to arrive first."

"Before the season started, I thought you two teams would fight for first place in the Western Conference for the entire season, and the winner would not be decided until the end of the season. I didn't expect that although you two teams are still fighting for second place in the Western Conference, the result is that you two teams are fighting for first place in the Western Conference."

"Kobe, hold that bastard for me. Allen, Kevin, you two help me, hold him down. I am going to kill this damn guy today." O'Neal took off his sunglasses and yelled at the guys around him with bared teeth.

"Go ahead if you want." Iverson rolled his eyes and said, "If you can hold that bastard down, I'll hit him in the head a few times! If you can't hold him down, I'm sorry, I don't know you, Shaq."

"If this guy wasn't so good at fighting, he would have been beaten to death long ago." Kobe also muttered, then walked up to Lin Tian and others and high-fived them. Before leaving, he said, "This year's championship must be ours!"

"Kevin, Allen, he said he wants to win the championship this year!" When Lin Tian heard this, he immediately shouted at Iverson and Garnett next to him.

“We’ll see.” Iverson glanced at Lin Tian. Even though he knew that he was trying to sow discord, he couldn’t help but say something harsh: “We won the Western Conference Finals last year, and we can win this year too!”

"No, you won't meet them in the Western Conference Finals this year." Lin Tian raised his finger and shook it a few times, saying, "You are the second and third in the Western Conference. You can only meet them in the Western Conference semifinals at best."

"Unless one of your two teams is ready to be overtaken by the Mavericks, you can meet in the Western Conference Finals."

"I don't want to say another word to this bastard! Where is the car you prepared for us?" The four people whose soft spot was poked by Lin Tian again showed complete tacit understanding.

He ignored Lin Tian, ​​looked at Xiao Si and Anthony, and let them take him to the car.

When the two guys came back again, Lin Tian found that they were standing very far away from him.

At least half a meter farther than just now.

"Do I smell bad?" Lin Tian looked at the two little brothers and said, "Why are you so far away from me?"

"Boss, the way you talk makes it easy for you to get into a fight with others." Xiao Si confessed truthfully.

"Amare and I are wearing our most expensive outfits today, so we decided to stay away from you. In case someone is so ignorant as to punch you, we are afraid that his blood will stain our clothes." Anthony followed closely and expressed their concerns.

Good man, are you afraid that I, Master Lin, will be too harsh?

That's right, there is really no one in this league that Lin Tian is afraid of! In other words, no one in this league is Lin Tian's opponent! Even if some "black belt" Mbenga or James Johnson from a fighting family enters the league in the future, they will definitely not be Lin Tian's opponent.

The only thing that Lin Tian is a little worried about is the "Black Mountain White Bear" Pekovic who will enter the NBA in a few years.

This guy is the one who brings hundreds of his men to practice American-style Iai. You can't afford to offend him.

Wait, speaking of American Iai…

It seems that there is someone in active service that Lin Tian can't afford to offend.

"Lin! Long time no see! I love you! I love New York! Although the Bay Area is great! But I just love New York!" A guy wearing sunglasses and with a very sturdy upper body also got off the plane, opened his arms, shouted exaggeratedly, and walked towards Lin Tian.

The first generation of the Holy Lance Ranger, Gilbert Arenas.

A madman and a psychopath, but also a ruthless man who dares to play American Iai and bring a gun into the locker room.

Lin Tian never messes with guys like this who are just a step away from being a psychopath.

Who knows if they will take out a shotgun and hit me?
Seven steps away, the gun is fast.

Within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate!

Lin Tianke didn't dare to bet that there were no bullets in his gun.

What if?
The son of luck was shot in the head by a crazy critic because of his foul mouth, which led to the end of his rebirth journey. It is not embarrassing enough to tell this story to others.

Just imagine if there was a penguin group for reborn people or a forum for time travelers.

As soon as people enter, they are told things like 'unified the three realms and died of old age', 'unparalleled in the world, too bored to live the rest of his life so he committed suicide', 'there is nothing fun in this interface, failed to cross to another interface and ended up dying', 'married 100 wives, gave birth to 300 children and finally died of exhaustion'.

Where is Mr. Lin?
'Because of my foul mouth, a madman shot me in the head with a spray gun.'

How terrible!

In a matter of minutes, he could become the laughing stock and the most popular figure among the big guys.

Others like those with the surname Xiao, Ye, Fan, or Leng Bingning who loved Yumeng Cuishuang, Leng Suanling who cleverly took over Wang Shichang, all regarded Master Lin as a joke.

Therefore, the honored guest! Must be treated as an honored guest!
No matter what Arenas is here for, even if he is just participating in a skills challenge, he should be a guest of honor!

"No, how did you get out from here? There are flights between New Jersey and New York?" Just after seeing Arenas off, another guy appeared here that Lin Tian could never have expected.

Jason Kidd of the New York Nets.

There is only a river between the two places. You can get there by driving across a bridge. Why are these two people coming out of the airport?

"Did you encounter an illegal taxi driver and take a detour?" This was the only reasonable reason Lin Tian could think of now.

If we hadn't taken a detour, would we be able to get out of this place?

"All-Stars? We have to feel the atmosphere of being received by the host!" Kidd stretched happily and said, "Let's go? Let's find a place to have fun together?"

"Have some shame. You didn't even make it to the All-Star Game. What are you doing here? To eat and drink for free?" Lin Tian was speechless with this guy. Your team has two players who were selected as All-Star starters. Yao Ming and Carter are not here. How can you be here alone to get free food and drinks?
"I participated in the skills competition, and I want to win the championship this year!" Kidd is not ashamed of it but proud of it. A guy of his status can be complacent without making it into the All-Star Game. Looking at the entire NBA, there are definitely no more than three guys with such a nerve!
"If you can win the skills competition, Shaq will be the 3-point king. His three-point shot might be more accurate than your jump shot from the top of the arc." Lin Tian was too lazy to pay attention to Kidd. He waved his hand and asked him to find the minibus by himself, and then he continued to wait for people here.

He wanted to see what kind of birds and beasts would appear today.

"Are those two guys on good terms?" After waiting for a while, Lin Tian poked Anthony's shoulder with his elbow and pointed forward.

There was a group of three. James and Wade were having a great time chatting happily while walking side by side in front. Behind them was Chris Bosh who was listening to music with headphones on and immersed in his own world and did not join in the chat.

"Before, I had the best relationship with LeBron, but you know, since I was selected by the Knicks with the No. 1 pick, I have been blocked by LeBron." Anthony shrugged and said, "As for Devin, he has a good relationship with everyone and he is always popular."

"I guess these two guys are planning to find a place to gather and play ball together!" Lin Tian said with a sly smile, "Believe it or not."

"I don't believe it!" Anthony shook his head without even thinking, "These two guys are not 34 or 5 years old and haven't won a championship yet. They are so young and they are planning to play together. Do they have any shame?"

"If your team wasn't as strong as it is now, and was just barely able to make the playoffs, and the team and you personally hadn't made any breakthroughs for years, what would you think?" "Just work hard and make another step forward! What else can you think of?" Anthony shrugged.

“Unless I’m 35 and have accomplished nothing.”

Anthony added one more sentence, then opened his arms and shouted, "Devin! LeBron! Chris, long time no see! Let's go, our boss has prepared a grand welcome ceremony! Let's have fun together tonight!"

"Carmelo is not sincere." Lin Tian touched his chin and said softly: "I think this guy must want to try to be the boss himself."

"Really? I don't believe it." Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said, "He is just not smart, but not stupid. He will not challenge your authority."

"What if we change places?"

"What kind of idiot would voluntarily leave New York?" Stoudemire said without hesitation: "I think he will definitely continue to play in New York."

Lin Tian and Stoudemire's chat ended here, because Anthony had already led Wade, James and three others to the front of the group. James was still smiling so brightly, and clapped his hands with Lin Tian and said, "Melo is one of my best brothers! He said you take good care of him, Lin, thank you!"

"The three of us became friends in your creative camp. You must not remember it! Thinking back to the days we spent there, it seems like it was just yesterday! I will always miss those days, Lin! You were our guide."

"Then let's get on the bus quickly. Almost everyone who should have arrived at this time today has arrived. We don't need to wait for the rest." Lin Tian glanced at his watch, then at the few people standing next to James. Without saying much, he led James and the others directly towards the minibus.

No waiting, set off now!

The reason for not waiting for others is that the bus is almost full, and the other is that according to the flight number revealed by the alliance, it will take a while for the remaining people to arrive, so there is no need to continue waiting here.

The last reason is: those who love to play and make noise have already arrived, and the rest are basically not interested in tonight's occasion at all, and waiting for them will only spoil the fun.

For example, Duncan and Yao Ming who didn't appear.

And more importantly, there are about 10 NBA stars sitting in the car.

They are all top names, and they are all guys with high aspirations.

There are grudges between quite a few of them, some look down on each other, and some even want to tear each other apart.

In short, this group of people gathered together in a place where there were no cameras and waited. Who knows if there would be bloodshed if they waited any longer.

Lin Tian doesn't want the All-Star Game to be reduced in roster before it even starts.

Then old man Stern might really use an AK47 to shoot himself.

It’s better to start the party early!
Under the stimulation of alcohol and hormones, all disputes and hatred will turn into the most extreme happiness!
So Lin Tian gave an order, Xiao Stoudemire cheered, and the car loaded with stars set off!
Target, Hilton Hotel!

Dozens of minutes later, this inconspicuous car parked in front of the hotel. This year's All-Star Game's official partner and the accommodation prepared by the league for the stars was here, so the stars got out of the car with great interest without any hiding or covering themselves.

Today they are not afraid of any paparazzi or gossip.

We are not here to have fun, we are here to stay and prepare for the 3-day All-Star Weekend which starts tomorrow!

The main theme is to be swaggering and have a clear conscience!
At the entrance of the hotel, there were naturally countless reporters and fans at this time. As soon as the stars got out of the car, the fans made earth-shaking shouts and roars, and the cameras in the hands of the reporters kept flashing.

The stars have long been accustomed to such occasions. Some of them would greet the fans with a smile, some would even take photos and get autographs, but more people could not wait to walk towards the hotel.

They heard it on the way.

The venue Lin Tian prepared for them is awesome!
When you are in New York, you can’t miss this event! The earlier you go, the earlier you can enjoy it!
The group of people hardly even stayed at the door, but walked towards the hotel in a mighty manner, and then couldn't wait to find their rooms, change clothes, and gather at the elevator!

Everybody came out as quickly as possible, either wearing swimming trunks under their bathrobes, or just coming out in their swimming trunks without putting on anything.

But there are also some who don't fit in.

For example, Kobe, this guy actually changed into sportswear and sneakers, holding a big cup, indicating that he was going to practice more.

"What the hell are you talking about extra practice? I'll break the legs of anyone who practices extra today!" O'Neal shouted and took the lead, tearing off Kobe's vest. Poor Kobe didn't have time to protest because Lin Tian behind him pulled off his sweatpants.

Good guy!
What was exposed was not Kobe's Black Mamba, but a pair of fancy swimming trunks.

It's purple and gold in color.

"That's so naughty, Kobe!" Lin Tian was no longer sleepy when he saw this thing. He opened his mouth and teased Kobe: "Whose hole is your little snake going to crawl into tonight?"

Lin Tian's ridicule caused everyone around to laugh. Kobe blushed and said, "I just want to do a few strength training first, and then go find you guys! And it's not just me, Shaq did it too! He said that during training, you can pretend to be working hard in front of others, and then be lazy!"

"This way others won't know I'm being lazy!"

"Shut up!" O'Neal grabbed Kobe's neck and held him under his ribs. Regardless of Kobe's frantic struggle, O'Neal said, "When we get up there, I'm going to throw you directly into the water!"

There were bursts of laughter and booing again. Everyone was excited now. Even McGrady, who was in a bad mood, was laughing with his eyes narrowed.

Then, the elevator arrived, and everyone got on it together, heading toward the rooftop.

When Lin Tian first came to the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel, he did not have the status he has now. At that time, he was at most just emerging.

At the same time, Lin Tian thought of the last New York All-Star Game, which was hosted by Ewing and attended by veterans of the previous generation. Of the participants in the last New York All-Star Game, only himself and O'Neal were still present this time.

The remaining old guys had disappeared into the alliance long ago without anyone noticing.

What a change the world has undergone!
Another thing that made Lin Tian feel that the world had changed a lot was the layout of the rooftop.

There was a pool party on the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel before. Although the water was hot and everyone was wearing little, it was a purely open-air design after all, and New York was still very cold in February.

If you don't play quickly, you will easily catch a cold.

It can be said that a few years ago, heating here depended entirely on hormones!
But this time, it's completely different!

Hilton actually added a layer of transparent glass cover to the rooftop garden and many large air conditioners hidden in the corners.

In this way, not only will the temperature rise significantly, but you won't have to worry about catching a cold even if you sit in a corner without moving or just do some small-scale movements!

More importantly, the glass ceiling on site will not affect everyone's enjoyment of the New York night view and starry sky while having fun.

Not to mention that there were countless beautiful girls and several guys who had sneaked here early.

A pool of wine and a forest of meat!
Fallen!
Seeing everyone eager to try, Lin Tian no longer held back and cheered loudly, then shouted: "SHOW TIME!" (End of this chapter)
