Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 627 Pelinka: I have never seen such shamelessness

"Did they really say that at the press conference?" In stark contrast to the pessimistic, desperate, and dejected mood that permeated the entire Los Angeles area, Stern was quite excited after hearing the Lakers' trio express their emotions.

"Yes, Mr. President, that's what they all said." Xiao Hua looked at Stern and asked, "What do you think we should do next?"

"Let's issue the fines first. Give those four bastards from the Knicks a hefty fine each! They've had their fun cursing, and we need to collect the interest we owe them."

"As for what happens next," Stern chuckled, looking at Xiao Hua, "what do you think?"

"I think this is a great opportunity for us! We all thought that a drop in ratings for the fourth game was inevitable, and we were even prepared for the ratings to be halved."

"But now, when O'Neal and Jackson say things like that, I feel like our chance has come! The best chance has arrived! We can pull off something big!"

"I can contact some media outlets and radio stations and have them produce, broadcast, report, and update all sorts of news and nostalgic videos about the Lakers over the next two days. I can even contact fan groups I know and have them prepare some parades or events."

"Keep this team, keep Shaq, keep Phil, and things like that."

"In that case, I think the ratings for the fourth episode won't drop too much, and might even see some growth!"

"We'll do it your way!" Stern's eyes showed obvious appreciation; he liked this guy!

……

"I love this car!" Lin Tian looked at the car, which had been quickly transformed and everything had been done in just a few days. He walked around it for a while, and then actually tried turning on the car stereo. After that, he closed the door and went out to listen to the sound.

There was absolutely no sound!

The soundproofing is really good!

Then Lin Tian drove around the car several times, admiring the brand-new decorations and handcrafted interior. He liked it!

Of course, what Lin Tian liked most was the car's primary purpose!

"Robert, go down and listen to this car. The sound insulation is amazing!"

As soon as Pelinka got out of the car, Lin Tian locked the door, then turned around and threw the still-unresponsive Theron onto the bed.

"Come on, let Rob check out the car's shock absorption and sound insulation from the outside!"

Outside the car, Pelinka got out and walked around, saying that the sound insulation was really good! He even pressed his face against the car door and couldn't hear any movement or sound from inside.

Pelinka was even a little tempted; maybe he should get one for himself?

Then, this guy wanted to get in the car and chat with Lin Tian for a bit more.

And then?

Then, of course, the car's sound insulation was just too good. Lin Tian couldn't hear Pelinka knocking on the door at all. If he couldn't hear anyone knocking, he naturally couldn't open the door, right?

Enraged, Pelinka cursed several times, then, grimacing and grumbling, drove off in his car.

In his entire life, he had never seen anyone as shameless as Lin Tian, ​​except for himself!

More than an hour later, the RV door opened, and Theron and Lin Tian, ​​both disheveled, stepped out.

"What a blunder. I haven't even added water to the car yet, so I can't take a shower." Lin Tian scratched his head, somewhat helplessly. "But it seems the car's sound insulation and shock absorption are excellent. I didn't even know when Robert left."

"I need to go home right now. I'm all sweaty and feel terrible. I need to go home, take a shower, and go to sleep." Theron was still lying there limply.

Lin Tian was also very happy and easily sat in the driver's seat he had always dreamed of. He was about to experience the surging power of this big baby!

Another point worth mentioning is Pelinka's efficiency; he truly deserves praise!

In just a few days, in addition to quickly finding someone to renovate the entire vehicle inside and out, Pelinka also took the opportunity to find a huge ranch less than 100 kilometers from New York, quickly bought it, and had people start building things like protective netting.

In a week at most, we'll have a completely safe space set up for Tyson—well, now Lin Tian's new toy—where no one can go in and the little one can't get out, so he can roam freely. Pelinka even found a lot of sheep, deer, and other animals that aren't very aggressive to put in there too.

If it's free-range, then let it be completely free-range! Let them choose what they want to eat.

Lin Tian was extremely satisfied with this.

He was so satisfied that he deleted the phone numbers of his new agent and assistant.

Pelinka's service is so good, I can't switch to someone else!

Can't the company's big boss even choose his own agent and assistant?

Impossible! I can use whoever I want, I'm so happy.

Pelinka, upon learning that Lin Tian was determined to enslave him to death, was utterly helpless and could only quickly update a job posting.

"Seeking a full-time agent for an NBA player. Requirements: female, 18-25 years old, fair-skinned and beautiful, with a great figure, cheerful personality, elegant speech, high emotional intelligence, quick reflexes, strong stress resistance, excellent professional skills, able to handle the boss's unreasonable demands and exploitation at any time. No experience required. Salary is very high and negotiable."

Yeah, they're hiring agents, but the requirements have absolutely nothing to do with an agent's actual job.

Those who saw this job posting commented: "That damn Pelinka, is he looking for a wife for himself...?"

Another noteworthy point is that Tyson actually took Lin Tian's advice and started applying for a visa to travel to China.

This guy is really ready to go to China and try his luck!

Then, before setting off, this guy diligently practiced Chinese. These past few days, whenever he called Lin Tian, ​​he would start swearing with phrases like "your grandpa's," "your grandma's legs," and "you are my Lin Bei," which annoyed Lin Tian quite a bit.

How come this damn thing happened to me first?

As for Lin Tian, ​​although he had never worked in the Chinese entertainment industry, he didn't have any truly close friends.

But how should I put it?

Lin Tian and Tyson—just those two names together make it incredibly difficult to find anyone who dares to cause trouble, disrespect them, or set traps for them. If some guy were foolish enough to do something like that…

Lord Lin respected him as a true man!

Finally, it's Game 4 of the finals!

At the same time, this game could very well be the last game of the season, and also the last game of the OK duo playing together!

These two guys went from being the undisputed elder brother of O'Neal at the beginning, to Kobe becoming stronger and the two gradually sharing the spotlight, and then to them looking down on each other and disliking each other.

And in the end, they actually developed a mutual respect for each other because of their poor record and inability to win the championship, each believing that the other was their best partner.

Thinking about this, Lin Tian sighed: He really is a spreader of love in the world! He specially helps those star players who don't get along to find their friendship again, turning them from quarrels into close friends.

Jordan and Pippen, Kobe and Shaq.

These two pairs, who could compete for the title of the greatest duo in NBA history, were originally irreconcilable enemies who couldn't stand each other and wished they could tear each other apart and throw them into the sewer.

Now, thanks to me, Master Lin, our relationship is incredibly close!

Don't ask, just ask. I, Lord Lin, am a peace ambassador and should receive the Nobel Peace Prize!

As for your question about what happens to the teams that were dismantled by Lin Tian because they faced him and were subsequently disbanded?

Lin Tian said: What does this have to do with me! They have poor mental fortitude, how can you blame me?

The main theme is shamelessness!

The fourth game in Los Angeles, although Staples Center was still packed, all the celebrities were there, and everyone was still enthusiastic, the atmosphere was somewhat different.

For example, tonight many fans chanted O'Neal's name in unison when he entered the arena.

"Shaq, stay! Shaq, stay!"

The fans are still very reluctant to part with this adorable big fat guy.

Although Los Angeles hasn't won a single championship in recent years, most people understand that it's not the team's or O'Neal's fault; it's because Lin Tian is just too good.

We really can't beat them.

Considering the victories and joy that O'Neal has brought to the team over the years, he has truly brought everything here except for the championship!

So the people of Los Angeles are quite tolerant of O'Neal!

Besides chanting for O'Neal to stay, some fans hoped Jackson would stay, others hoped West would stay and give it another try, and of course, many fans held up various signs to cheer on the team.

In short, this night in Los Angeles, in addition to the atmosphere of revelry, there was an extra sense of sadness and farewell.

"Hey, you fans are using moral blackmail! After all this, I feel bad about sweeping you all." For the first time since Game 1 of the Finals, Lin Tian found O'Neal and Kobe and chatted with them.

"Then just throw the game and lose."

"We don't need you to be embarrassed!"

Kobe and Shaq opened their mouths almost simultaneously, but said completely opposite things.

"That's why I hate this bastard." The first sentence was said at the same time, and the second sentence was truly spoken in unison.

"You two are such tsundere monsters." Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to these two.

Even though their relationship has been good for the past two years, they insist on acting like they hate each other.

They're as childish as elementary school students.

"However, no matter what, we'll both give it our all tonight! We haven't given up, and we'll do everything we can to make you lose!"

"Don't even think about sweeping us away!"

"You two are wrong," Lin Tian said with a smile. "It should be: Don't even think about sweeping us aside again!"

"By the way, how many times have I swept through your territory before? There have been so many times, I really can't remember."

"I'm going to kill you tonight." O'Neal gave him the middle finger and turned to leave.

"Me too!" Kobe gave the middle finger and turned to leave.

Lin Tian could sense that after falling behind 3-0, the two guys were noticeably more relaxed, and they exuded a more carefree aura.

Lin Tian certainly didn't think that these two guys had given up.

On the contrary, the two of them let go of all burdens and pressures, and completely entered a state of mind where they were going to lose anyway, and they would make sure to take a piece of your skin no matter what.

Normally, players in this state are most likely to put up explosive statistics!

Tonight is dangerous!

If we're not careful, those two might actually steal a victory from us!

Lin Tian glanced at the two men's backs, then returned to the Knicks' bench to have a final conversation with Don Nelson, while also relaying the news to the rest of the Knicks team.

"They've let go of their burdens? We don't have any burdens to let go of either." Little S spread his hands and said, "It's 3-0 already, what burdens could we possibly have? Just beat them to a pulp!"

"With the experience of coming back from a 30-point deficit in the last game, I feel we can beat any opponent! We can defeat all strong rivals!" Anthony was equally confident!

With both of them performing well, the rest of the team is naturally even more confident.

That's right! Just as they said, the Lakers have just let go of a burden they already had long ago!

With their strong confidence and unwavering determination, coupled with the absolute confidence gained from the crazy comeback in the last game, the Knicks will not be careless or relaxed tonight, nor will they be nervous at all.

Tonight's Knicks are the best Knicks ever!

Soon, both teams' players took to the court, ready for the jump ball.

The fourth game of the series is about to begin!

Both sides remained the same, without any personnel adjustments. After playing three matches in a row, both sides were extremely familiar with each other.

They know their opponents' habits, weaknesses and strengths, and how to deal with them!

From this perspective, the two teams, completely free of burdens and pressure, might just deliver the most exciting game of the series tonight!

"Beep beep!"

With the sound of a whistle, the competition officially began!

O'Neal once again defeated Okur, securing the first offensive possession for the Lakers. Fisher quickly advanced the ball up the court and passed it to Kobe.

Facing Lin Tian, ​​Kobe took a probing step to feign a drive, then pulled up and launched a three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp sound, Kobe opened the game with a three-pointer!

Okur immediately reached the baseline under the basket and quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian. Lin Tian sprinted with the ball, accelerating to his maximum speed in the blink of an eye. Then, when he reached the wing outside the Lakers' three-point line, he suddenly slowed down.

This slowdown caused the entire Lakers' retreating defense to slow down as well.

Then a huge space appeared in the Lakers' defense. Lin Tian jumped up and passed the ball to Stoudemire, who was cutting to the middle. Stoudemire took the ball with one hand, started running, and jumped up again with a powerful one-handed split shot!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the Knicks responded quickly and fiercely!

On the Lakers' second possession, the ball was passed to O'Neal under the basket. The big man continued his unstoppable dominance under the basket, turning past Okur and slamming the ball into the hoop with both hands!

Okur, who had just taken an elbow and a dunk, received the ball at the top of the key in the frontcourt and took advantage of the gap when O'Neal couldn't defend him, pulling up and shooting a three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

After a crisp sound, the score was tied 5-5 in the first minute!

And they all say it's a scoring distribution of dunks plus 3 points.

It's clear that both teams are in good form, and they both seem to be playing very well and relaxed tonight!

"Come on! Let's see what kind of last-ditch comeback the Lakers can pull off! We'll hold off their counterattack and then let them die peacefully!"

"Even if we lose, we'll rip the New Yorkers' skin off! We'll make them win the game covered in blood! Want to win the championship? Then you'll have to completely crush us first!"

"If they can't kill us, we'll kill them!" O'Neal shouted, raising his arms to remind his teammates to stay focused and win tonight's game!

"How's it going?" In the same private box, Stern sat on his sofa, glancing at the match below with half-hearted eyes, but his attention was clearly not on the game.

"Over 3000 million! Although it's not as high as the last game, it's much better than I expected." Xiao Hua looked at the data report in his hand and said, "This is just the beginning of the competition, and tonight there's a friendly match that's been touted as the most anticipated warm-up game before the World Cup: England vs. France!"

"Considering the diversion of visitors due to this football match, 3000 million people is a remarkably impressive figure!"

"Based on our estimates, when the second half begins, which is when that football friendly ends, our viewership for this match will see a huge surge."

"Conservatively speaking, it should be no problem to exceed 4000 million people, and if the score remains close in the fourth quarter, then this number could very well exceed 4800 million again."

"I have to say, the hype surrounding O'Neal's final game with the Lakers was absolutely brilliant! President, you're a genius! Without your plan and idea, our viewership tonight definitely wouldn't have exceeded 2000 million!"

Stern was quite pleased with Silver's quiet flattery, even though the idea was actually Silver's. Who wouldn't like a subordinate who doesn't take credit for himself?

Entrusting this alliance to him might actually be a good idea. (End of Chapter)
