Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 752 Launching the Charge! All Point Guards in the League Speak Out to Paul

"I think Chris can become the best point guard in the league after me!"

At the press conference after the game, Lin Tian, ​​unlike his usual sharp-tongued and aggressive self, smiled and praised Paul, whom he had completely crushed.

"Chris is amazing. He's a natural-born playmaker. He was born for basketball. His energy goes far beyond his size. Anyway, if you asked me to choose a so-called successor or the best point guard in the league after I leave, I would definitely choose Chris!"

"Of course, it might be a bit impolite to say that he is my successor, because Chris should not be anyone's substitute or shadow, nor should he be anyone's successor."

"He is Chris Paul! I believe this name will remain in history, and even time will not erase his mark."

Lin Tian's words truly elevated Paul to an extremely high position, which excited all of Paul's fans.

He knows football! Lin Tian, ​​he really knows football!

This is how Paul's fans feel right now.

Of course, Lin Tian is not the kind of good person who mentors younger generations, promotes young people to the top, and selflessly provides help.

Throughout his life, he was never associated with the word "good person."

In any case, everyone who knew Lin Tian, ​​as well as those who were willing to think a little deeper, immediately guessed Lin Tian's thoughts and plans.

That bastard is putting Paul on the hot seat!

Now, whether Paul liked it or not, he became the one who stood out from the crowd, and as the saying goes, "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."

Besides, Paul isn't even that outstanding yet!

He's just a bit sturdier than most pieces of wood.

But you can always find three or five pieces of wood that are as sturdy as him, or even more sturdy.

Lin Tian had just elevated Paul to a pedestal, so the other guys naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Lin Tian.

Everyone has suffered enough at Lin Tian's hands. At this point, there's no need for anyone to cause him any more trouble.

That's not just looking for trouble with Lin Tian, ​​that's just asking for trouble.

There's no need for that, guys.

Let's just bully Paul!

"Never even made the playoffs, and you dare to call yourself the future number one point guard?" O'Neal leaned back in his chair, chewing gum, and said to Nash beside him, "Steve, I think you're the one who should be saying that."

"If you said Chris would be your first point guard after you retire, that would make more sense. You actually snatched an MVP award from Lin! Your status and ability are far beyond what those kids can compare to!"

"Alright, Shaq, when have I ever cared about that? I don't care." Nash shrugged, looking completely nonchalant. "What I care about more is the result this season! We really don't have much time left, do we?"

"Alright everyone, that's enough for tonight. Go back and get some rest for tomorrow's opening game! This year, we have to go even further! Let's work together to win that damn championship!"

Nash said he didn't care, but if you looked closely at the corner of his locker, you could see a schedule, and the game between the Suns and the Warriors was marked with several lines by Nash.

That old bastard cares a lot!

"I played him eight times in two years, and I dominated him eight times! I was also an All-Star last year." Deron Williams of New Orleans smirked, stroking his signature mustache. "He's the best point guard, so what am I, the one who treated him like a toy?"

"The 0th defender?"

Deron Williams' words drew a burst of laughter. The Hornets are united this year and have great confidence in going further and returning to the playoffs!

"Yi, Lin is the best at both basketball and fighting, but he doesn't seem to be very good at choosing a successor." Deron turned around and joked with the team's newcomer, Yi Jianlian.

"Yeah, Lin is really good at basketball." Yi Jianlian, who was new to the team, was still a bit slow and couldn't quite keep up with the team leader's words. He just mechanically answered Deron's question.

Deron, having been rebuffed, simply shrugged. Out of respect for Lin Tian, ​​Yi Jianlian wouldn't be bullied or targeted by anyone within the Hornets. Everyone knew Lin Tian was notoriously petty and protective of his own.

Not only did no one bully Yi Jianlian, but many people on the team also took good care of him!

With a high draft pick and the backing of big names in the league, Yi Jianlian's treatment within the team is definitely excellent.

But his problem is that while he was with the national team and the domestic Tiger Bank team, he could still joke around and get along well with everyone, but when he got to the NBA, he was completely different.

He is taciturn, doesn't joke, and can't integrate into the team.

Of course, it's not a matter of personality. Lin Tian has done a lot to help Yi Jianlian regain his confidence over the past few years, trying every means to make him more mature and outgoing.

The effect is quite good.

But Lin Tian overlooked or forgot about one issue.

He forgot to give Yi Jianlian a crash course.

Because I didn't find a private tutor for my younger brother to learn a foreign language, although Yi Jianlian's English level is okay, when he is really put into an environment where everyone speaks English at a super fast speed with various accents and slang, he still falls short.

Keep trying and work hard!

"That idiot Lin, what does he know about being the best point guard! In terms of achievements, it's me; in terms of individual honors, it's Steve. When did it become Chris's turn, that rookie who never even made the playoffs?" In Denver, Billups was also watching TV angrily.

With an Finals MVP award, he had absolutely no liking for a rookie like Paul who had never even played in the playoffs.

"Kill him!" Baron Davis, with a big beard and a thuggish look, who looked more like a gangster than an NBA star, grinned and downed a large glass of beer. He had already figured out how he would make Paul look bad in the upcoming showdown.

"I'm a point guard too," Arenas muttered, looking more like a shooting guard than a point guard, his face equally displeased.

"I'm a point guard too!" Despite his recent struggles, Allen Iverson of the Orlando Magic, who was still second in scoring last season, shares the same attitude.

In short, in the blink of an eye, overnight, the Warriors and Paul not only suffered a defeat and a brutal, complete blowout, but also received malice from almost half the league.

Paul has become the target of everyone's criticism. Every point guard in the league who can be considered a top player is eager to try their luck against him and see who is the future number one point guard.

As I said before: If we can't afford to mess with Lin Tian, ​​then we can't afford to mess with you, Paul.

I'll beat you to death!

Along with my dissatisfaction with Lin Tian, ​​I'll take it all out on you, Paul, and beat you to a pulp!

This would prove that you, Paul, are not good enough, not some future top point guard, and it would also prove that your judgment, Lin Tian, ​​is just so-so.

What's the use of being good at basketball if you can't judge people? Just like the previous GOAT, he can't judge people and has terrible judgment!

If we consider the inside and outside of the city as an average, then those guys and you, Master Lin, are practically on the same level, almost indistinguishable.

Of course, if those who have this idea knew how many rookies Lin Tian recommended to Bird while he was with the Pacers, and how many rookies he recommended to Bird and Jordan after leaving the Pacers, they would know that they are very wrong. Lin Tian's eye for talent is simply amazing, he is incredibly accurate in judging people!

Yes, of course, he definitely cheated.

But no matter what, whether everyone was simply trying to vent their anger, to teach Lin Tian a lesson, or to prove themselves great.

In short, Paul is definitely going to have a bad season.

He is destined to face even greater challenges this year, and every match he plays will undoubtedly be incredibly difficult.

To put it another way, the challenges that Paul and the Warriors have faced this season are probably more than those faced by the defending champion Knicks!

After all, there aren't that many championship-caliber teams in the East.

In the West, there are several point guards who are willing to go toe-to-toe with Paul...

Kidd, Nash, Davis, Deron Williams, Billups...

These guys are all really eager to teach Paul a lesson!

These teams will each have to play four regular season games against the Warriors, which makes 20 games in total. And that doesn't even include players like Parker, Iverson, and Arenas from the East.

If we take all of this into account... the Warriors might not be able to take off again this season.

Lin Tian is a really bad guy!

The kind of wickedness that wouldn't be a problem if they didn't kill Paul.

But just as the league's point guards were eager to test their skills against Paul and show him what they were capable of, Lin, the instigator of the whole affair, was facing an unprecedented challenge.

Charlize Theron left in a hurry after watching the opening match. This summer, she officially announced that she had a child out of wedlock with Lin Tian, ​​a super popular star. The amount of attention she has generated this year is enormous.

In addition, her dedication in losing weight quickly and returning to work immediately has earned her a thumbs up from many movie fans.

As a result, my friend is extremely busy, with one job after another.

From various commercial events and award ceremonies to film offers for my main job, it was a constant stream of offers.

Even tonight, if it weren't for the Knicks raising their flag and presenting the championship banner—a rather important occasion—Theron would definitely not have had time to watch the game.

There's no way around it; now that it's been officially announced, no matter how pure the feelings between the two are, their respective teams will try every means to make their relationship a little less pure.

Looking back 20 years, this is called "business" and "distributing materials".

Necessary joint appearances and displays of affection are indispensable. Even before Theron boarded the plane, her team had already started releasing various press releases about her dedication, good condition, and working herself to the bone.

Once you get to this point, there's no way around it.

So, with Theron running away so quickly, what kind of huge trouble will Lin Tian face next?

Twins plus Hilton.

When these three people appeared at Lin Tian's house at the same time, Lin Tian's first reaction was to stand up and run away.

I bet each of these girls is carrying an AK!

Even if the sisters didn't manage to get an AK, they should at least each have a machete, right?

Unfortunately, just as Lin Tian turned to leave, the door slammed shut with a bang. Elizabeth had circled around and blocked Lin Tian's escape route.

The four players executed a perfect team fight, gaining an absolute advantage.

"What are you doing...?" Lin Tian had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

After all, he couldn't just throw Elizabeth to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, then leap out of the window and escape, could he?

It hasn't gotten to that point yet.

"If Charles has it, we want it too!" Hilton, the underachiever, unknowingly became the leader, sitting in the middle, with the twins on her left and right as her protectors.

The three people, who have always been at odds and always bickering, have actually formed a defensive alliance.

"Are you guys crazy?"

Looking at the three women in front of him, Lin Tian truly felt that they were all insane.

Otherwise, the whole world has gone mad.

A top American socialite and heiress of a giant corporation, and two young celebrities and entrepreneurs who became teen idols and have billions of dollars in assets, are pressuring me to have children with them.

They didn't even come one by one, but all at once?

"I lost the argument today! I've never lost an argument in my life, but I lost because I don't have a child! If I had one in my belly, I would have given Charlize a piece of my mind!" Hilton gave a rather childish, but also very much in line with her persona.

"We just want it!" the twins said in unison, but judging from their expressions, Lin Tian could guess that the two sisters had definitely been brainwashed by Hilton and came here in a daze, full of resentment.

I'll definitely regret it tomorrow morning!

I wonder if Theron would regret using his daughter to provoke these people if he knew the situation Lin Tian was facing tonight?

They drove a crazy old woman completely insane, and incidentally drove two top students insane as well.

It's not worth the risk!

"We're not here to discuss things with you," Hilton once again displayed her boss-like demeanor. "We're here to inform you!"

"But we're not that shameless, we won't keep bothering you!" Alish was also caught up in the moment and said something he would never have said before.

"Whether it works out or not depends on tonight! After tonight, we promise we won't bother you again!" Mary Kate offered a condition that Lin Tian couldn't refuse.

"Elizabeth, you go home first." Then, without waiting for Lin Tian's reply or refusal, Alish turned his attention to Elizabeth: "Things are settled here, you're done."

"No! I can help too!" Elizabeth's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

They discard the donkey after it has served its purpose, they kick away the bridge after it has been crossed—they are utterly inhumane!

Good grief, my mission tonight is just to shut that door? Am I Chris?

"What can you do to help? Go! Get out of here right now! You can't help at all!" Mary Kate knew what her third daughter was thinking, but she didn't know that Elizabeth had already been won over by Lin Tian!

"I'm not leaving!"

"Get out!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"Get out!"

……

"Get lost!"

Finally, Hilton grabbed Elizabeth by the neck, opened the door, and threw her out, yelling into the darkness, "If this chick doesn't go home, take her home!"

"Watch out, this is my best friend's sister. If she gets hurt, you'll be in big trouble!"

Hilton's words made Lin Tian understand why the girls were so arrogant and confident.

After all, Lin Tian is currently one of the most popular and high-profile people in the United States, and his house would normally be surrounded by paparazzi from all walks of life.

Lin Tian had already planned tomorrow's headlines if these four girls dared to swagger into his house.

Even after having a child, Lin Tian remained a womanizer, spending the night with four women after seeing Theron off!

"24 Hours of Logging! Four Women Have Not Appeared After Entering Lin Tian's House!"

……

Judging from Hilton's words, there are obviously no paparazzi outside right now. In fact, she's probably surrounded by her "professionals."

The people had already taken care of everything and cleared the area.

Paparazzi?

Paparazzi also need to make a living. They know which places they can and cannot film in.

Tonight, they have to stay far away, otherwise they might end up as a sack at the bottom of the Hudson River.

Can't be bothered.

Given the situation tonight, even if Lin Tian rushed out, he would probably be pinned back down by more than a dozen burly men in black in no time.

It looks like I can't escape tonight.

"Alright, Lin, let's get down to business." Hilton slammed the door shut. "Don't say another word of nonsense!"

In this situation, what else could Lin Tian say? He could only nod.

At the same time, he finally understood what all those useless gadgets the system had given him before were for—they were meant to deal with tonight's situation! (End of Chapter)
