NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

As Lin Tian bullied Anthony and Stoudemire consecutively in the one-on-one duel this time, the atmosphere within the Knicks team became even better. Originally, these little guys were full of respect for Lin Tian, ​​but now after discovering that Lin Tian was still so scary, they became even more obedient.

They work extra hard during training and practice more consciously. The closer it gets to the start of the season, the more motivated they become. The more they practice, the more energetic they become, and the more motivated they become, the more they practice.

Old Nelson said that all this was completely within his expectations. With Lin Tian around, he was not worried about the team's chemistry.

Even if we don't consider Lin Tian's prestige and status in the team, just from the personal perspective of these people, they will definitely not do anything weird this season. They will definitely train and perform honestly.

After all, the Knicks this season are destined to be in the spotlight, and every game is destined to attract great attention. These young people will not miss this opportunity to become famous!
It's not just Smith, Wallace and others who are eager to show themselves. They hope to take advantage of the team's astonishingly high exposure rate this season to showcase their talents and get a big contract.

Even guys like Anthony and Stoudemire who have proven themselves and received maximum salaries hope that they can perform at their best this season.

Not just for the money, but for their own standing in the league and on the team.

Let me put it this way, after this season, Lin Tian will retire. At that time, who will be the boss of the Knicks?

Stoudemire or Anthony?
In terms of qualifications, Stoudemire entered the league a year earlier, but in terms of popularity, Anthony, a native New Yorker, has the advantage.

Anyway, these two people must compete hard and try to impress old Nelson and Dolan.

And this season is the best opportunity for both of them!

Old Nelson and Lin Tian both saw the competition between the two of them.

In order not to affect the team's chemistry, Lin Tian and old Nelson talked to the two of them separately.

"Melo, do you want to be a leader? You know, a leader doesn't just have to score, he has to do a lot of things! Pass the ball, organize, defend, motivate teammates, encourage teammates at any time, let them stay motivated, give teammates easy scoring opportunities, and give teammates data."

"What a leader has to do is to take on the toughest challenges! Who makes you the boss?"

"Amare, do you want to be a leader? You know, a leader doesn't just have to score points, he has to do a lot of things..."

Lin Tian said the same two sentences to the two people one after another 20 minutes later.

Then, it’s done!

It's that simple!
Lin Tian believes that these two people will definitely become more selfless than ever before this season!
Of course, the reason why these few basic and simple words of his are so useful is mainly because of his status in the world.

What did that sentence say?

If you have 3, 4, or 5 million, you will be very handsome even if you look like Jordan.

This is what Lin Tian is like now.

If you have 8, 9, 10 championships, then even if you fart it will be a wise saying!

The healthy competition between Anthony and Stoudemire will definitely help the team go further and more easily.

The entire Knicks training camp can be simply described as vigorous, full of fighting spirit, all-out efforts, and three consecutive goals!
With the end of training camp, each team is naturally gearing up to start their respective preseason games.

Stern knew that this was Lin Tian’s last year, and he knew better than anyone how to take advantage of Lin Tian’s identity and popularity.

This year, Stern sent the Knicks directly to two places.

They will play two preseason games in China and the Hornets, and have a China national derby.

Then they have to fly to Europe to play one game each against the Mavericks and Grizzlies in Berlin and Barcelona.

During the entire preseason, the Knicks had to travel across three continents and play against three teams. This journey was definitely the first in NBA history.

But of course, Stern is not a devil. He knows very well how much money and attention the Knicks can help him make this season. He is very worried that he will exhaust the team, especially Lin Tian. If Lin Tian gets injured, it will definitely be a loss for the entire league!

So, Stern planned four preseason games for the Knicks.

They only played 4 games in more than half a month. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Knicks went on a trip.

I can only say that Stern, this old fox, really has a good grasp of people's hearts!
If he dared to let the Knicks play a full eight preseason games and then run around, Dolan and Nelson would probably protest with curses.

The ghost is playing with you!
But now, everyone is happy and enjoying themselves, traveling everywhere and checking in with facial recognition, promoting the style and brand of the NBA while happily playing the game.

Achieve the best of both worlds!
During the preseason, Lin Tian’s greatest personal joy was not playing games, nor was it wandering around.

His greatest pleasure was calling Jordan and Bird.

"Larry, did you watch the Lakers game? Durant's preseason debut was great! He scored 15 points and 9 rebounds on 24 of 5 shots! How about Oden? Is he in good shape in training recently?"

"What? Injured? What a pity! Hey, it's okay, he will be back soon. It must be a minor injury. I think he can be the best rookie this year! What? Season over? What a pity! God is jealous of talented people!"

"If you had listened to me and chosen Du..."

Bird hung up the phone.

"Larry, don't be too sad. I think Durant didn't play well today! He only made 10 of 3 shots, it must be a waste! He is so big but so skinny, his career will not last long. But he played for 35 minutes today, I think this is the team giving him a chance."

"Give him a chance, but he's useless! Give him a chance, but he only made 3 shots! What's the point of playing? What's the point of playing all the time? If he can play but can't play well, it's useless!"

"If I were him, I would be so bad at playing that I might as well not play! Just like Oh…"

The phone hung up again.

These days, Lin Tian called Bird and it was such a great time!

Generally speaking, Lin Tian would call Jordan right after hanging up the call to Bird.

"Michael, long time no see! How did Tyrus play today? What? 5 points and 7 rebounds? It's a new system, that's normal. We need to give young people some opportunities and patience, and let them develop slowly."

"Don't think too much! The kid didn't play well because he couldn't adapt. It's definitely not because your Felton is not as good as Paul. It's definitely not because of that. Don't think in that direction. It has nothing to do with that, even though Paul almost made it to the playoffs last year."

"But almost didn't get in, didn't it? Almost won the lottery, didn't it? It's exactly the same as your countdown!"

"By the way, did you know that LaMarcus played in the summer league? His stats in the summer league seemed pretty good! He averaged 27 points and 18 rebounds in 11 minutes per game! But I don't think this stat is very useful."

"After all, my grandma averaged 18+11 in the summer league. How intense can that be?"

"What? In the two preseason games, he scored 23 points and 7 rebounds and 22 points and 9 rebounds respectively? The preseason is not very useful. His true colors will be exposed in the regular season! I heard that you guys paid two extra draft picks in exchange for Thomas? Don't worry, this deal will definitely be a big win! I'm optimistic about you guys!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about Aldridge. If you don't want to talk about this, then let's not talk about it."

"Let's talk about something happy. I watched today's top ten plays. Your new player, Brewer, did a really cool windmill dunk!"

"What? 8 out of 1 shots? That's the only one in one game? Oh, it's only 13 out of 1 shots in two games combined. That's okay! Ups and downs are normal! We also have bad days, let alone young people?"

"What's important is to have wonderful moments. Being able to enter the top ten is more important than anything else! He will definitely be criticized by Brown because he likes to gamble and steal and destroy the team's defensive system. You must give him psychological counseling and don't let the boy doubt himself and lose confidence."

……

During the past few days in Europe and Asia, Lin Tian followed the games between the Warriors and the Bobcats every day and called Jordan every day to motivate him.

After stimulating Jordan, Lin Tian called Bird to ask about Oden's injury recovery and show his care for the newcomers and his old club.

Mr. Lin, you are so considerate! So thoughtful!

As for the fact that Jordan and Bird wanted to send someone to kill Lin Tian after hanging up the phone, and wanted him to die, and smashed the office several times, it is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning at all.

Mr. Lin doesn't care.

Anyway, these two old guys can’t beat him, and anyway, these two old guys don’t dare to really fight him, right?

Come on if you dare.

Comfortable! This preseason tour is so comfortable!
With the end of this happy preseason journey, the Knicks returned to New York happily with a preseason record of 4 wins and 0 losses.

Next, they will prepare for their regular season opener!

For the second consecutive year, the Knicks will raise their championship banner at home!
The first successful title defense in the team's history.

Plus Lin Tian’s first performance in the last season.

After adding all kinds of factors together, the attention to this game is naturally full.

Also maxed out are the ticket prices for the game and the status of the fans at the scene.

The average ticket price for this game soared to over 220 US dollars, and the seats in the front row were out of stock and not sold to the public at all.

Rumor has it that the seats next to Spike Lee are all priced at more than 35000 US dollars!

These data all slightly broke the NBA regular season ticket price record. Before this game, the average ticket price for any regular season game had never been sold at this price.

It can only be said that with Lin Tian’s current appeal, coupled with the attraction of the huge city of New York, this year’s Knicks team is destined to be at the center of the entire NBA and even the entire basketball world!

It is also worth mentioning that the live broadcast plan for this season has already been announced.

The Knicks have a total of 54 regular season games broadcast live nationwide this season!

At least one of the games between them and the other 29 teams in the league will be broadcast live nationwide!

This influence, these numbers, and the attention the Knicks bring to their opponents are unprecedented!
Again, it’s the last dance of a retiring superstar, the last battle of the league’s top team in their quest for a three-peat, the league’s most popular offensive team, and the league’s most valuable super team.

These factors combined are bound to make every game of the Knicks this season exciting!
On October 10, the Knicks will face their first opponent of the season at home.

Golden State Warriors!
It is worth mentioning that the NBA officials have only arranged this one game tonight!

And on April 4, the last day of the regular season, there will also be only one game!
It’s still the Knicks, and their opponent is the New Orleans Hornets!
In the opening and final games, everyone gave way to Lin Tian and the Knicks!
The two opponents that the league has arranged for the Knicks and Lin Tian are also quite interesting.

The leaders of these two teams are both the hottest new stars in the league today, and they are also the No. 1 position!

Deron and Paul!
Stern's plan was so obvious, there was no hiding it at all.

The main focus should be on things like inheritance, succession, handover, torch relay, etc.

Lin Tian's meaning was quite direct in response to Stern's open calculations.

If you want to take the torch, no problem.

Come grab it yourself!
But expecting me to give it to you is impossible!
On the opening day, the Knicks players entered Madison Square Garden early. Like the fans, they couldn't wait!

They want to get their championship rings as soon as possible, and they also want to see the championship flag rise as soon as possible.

As soon as everyone walked into the stadium, they felt dizzy.

Madison Square Garden is a sea of ​​blue tonight!

Everyone wore the Knicks' unique blue T-shirt, but this time the name of the Knicks was no longer written on the jersey.

This time, there were neat slogans written on it.

"Again!"

No one knows whether this slogan means that Lin Tian should sign another contract or that the Knicks should win another championship.

But apparently that doesn't matter.

Because the fans have gone crazy.

When they saw their heroes walking into the stadium, they went crazy!

Madness is the roar and hysterical cheers sweeping from all directions. In the first game of the new season, Knicks fans showed their unparalleled passion!
On this night, the front row of Madison Square Garden was naturally filled with big names.

From the star players of the New York Yankees and the Mets to New York's celebrities, rappers, actors, politicians, and wealthy people, the status of Madison Garden tonight is no less than that of Staples Center!

Of course, there is also Spike Lee, an old friend of the Knicks. This crazy fan has long been a die-hard fan of Lin Tian. He is in his old position in the front row, shouting the craziest, most arrogantly, and loudest!
Sitting next to Spike Lee were retired Knicks stars.

Ewing, Starks, Oakley, Monroe, Frazier, Reed and others were all present to support their juniors and also to feel the glory of their juniors!

Of course, Houston and Ward, who just chose to retire during the offseason, also joined the ranks of retired stars, sitting next to several other big guys, smiling happily.

In addition, sitting directly opposite this group of players is Charlize Theron, who has regained her peak beauty and successfully lost weight. There is no doubt that Theron is the focus of the audience tonight.

When the camera was turned to her, all the fans in the stadium roared in unison.

"Mrs. Lin!"

"Mrs. Lin!"

She has a child with Lin Tian and has undoubtedly become a good friend of the Knicks!

Even many girls at the scene said: Losing to her is okay, it's acceptable.

But Theron's appearance also meant that Hilton, who usually resides in Madison, and the Olsen sisters who appear from time to time were not there.

Sisters, you have to have some shame too.

You, Mr. Lin, have officially announced that you have a child. At the very least, we shouldn’t be so shameless as to appear in the same frame with the real person in the future, right?
To be honest, when Lin Tian walked into the stadium and saw only the powerful Charlize Theron sitting there alone, he was relieved.

He was really worried about the possibility of a Shura Field.

It would be really scary if the Hilton and Olsen sisters joined forces.

After all, among these four, one is rich, two are very tacit, and the remaining one is young and dares to say anything. If five people meet...

Hiss, I tremble just thinking about it, no!

It’s better not to let Charlize Theron come here in the future.

Otherwise it would be too scary.

But, what’s the saying?

New York is a sloping place. Whatever you fear, it will happen!
Before Lin Tiansong had even finished breathing a sigh of relief, he saw four beautiful girls, dressed in bright clothes, with their heads held high, their chests puffed out, and their manners high and proud, walking into Madison Garden.

Then, the four of them walked forward without turning, sat around Sharon and surrounded her directly.

Looking at this situation, it is true that the sisters are of one mind and their strength can cut through metal!

If it were a girl with less courage and spirit, she would probably be scared to death if she was surrounded by people like this.

That is, Charlize Theron, still holding her head high, as if she didn't see the four people at all.

Not only was she arrogant, she even took the initiative to attack!

"My dear, our daughter, the angelic Claire, just recorded a video to cheer you up. Would you like to take a look?"

How can you anger four women with just one sentence and leave them speechless?
How can one sentence make four women want to kill you but unable to do it?

Charlize Theron did it. It's been less than 3 months. She sleeps for almost 20 hours a day. She can't do anything except crying and giggling. How did Claire record the cheering video?

Anyway, judging from Charlize Theron's expression, one sentence is enough to explain that my daughter can record anyway, what do you four slutty bitches have to do with it? (End of this chapter)
