Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 35 The Plague of Gambling Tables!

With Lin Tian's ejection and the widening gap between the two teams, the game quickly lost all suspense. In the end, the Bulls won a resounding 33-point victory, 109-76, easily taking the game.

乔丹轻轻鬆鬆，上场30分钟拿下31分5篮板4助攻，皮蓬也是拿下了15分7篮板5助攻的全能数据，罗德曼拿下4分15个篮板的招牌数据。

As for Lin Tian, ​​although he scored 7 points in a row in the second quarter to widen the score gap, he was unfortunately ejected before he could play much in the third quarter. He only played for a total of 11 minutes, but he still managed to score 12 points and 3 assists. In terms of per unit time, this output is definitely good!

In the post-game interview, Jordan surprised everyone by suddenly speaking up for Lin Tian!

"The referee's calls tonight were a load of crap! Absolutely rotten! Utterly rotten. I don't know why they sent off Lin. What did he have to do to deserve being sent off? Just because he embarrassed a softie and let him off easy? If embarrassing an opponent warrants ejection..."

"Then I have nothing to be afraid of, because I get ejected every game, I get sent off every game! What I do every night is humiliate my opponents, beat them to a pulp! I think the league is bullying rookies, they're bullying Lin! If I had done that move..."

"Alonzo wouldn't dare do anything, and the referee certainly wouldn't eject me! If I had to comment on tonight's events, Alonzo would be a cowardly bully! Also, the referees tonight were idiots! Their calls were so stupid! Why was Lin Ping sent off? I will always support my teammates, it's that simple!"

Jordan's words have been widely circulated by major media outlets and have become the headline of the night!

SEPN: "Mourin clashes fiercely with rookie! Jordan speaks out in defense after the game!"

TNT: "Jordan's blunt statement that Mourning is a softie offends the entire Miami team, all for a rookie!"

CBS: "A furious outburst for a rookie! What magic does this year's 52nd overall pick possess?"

ABC: "Offending a league bigwig after only two games! Why is this rookie so arrogant? It's because he has Jordan's support!"

MSG: This is a top-tier team! Even superstars stand up for rookies!

Bleacher Report: "The return of Jordan and the rookie! A new best duo may emerge on the Bulls' road to the championship!"

On the plane back to Chicago from Miami, Lin Tian looked at the newspaper he had brought with him before boarding. He really hadn't expected that Jordan would speak up for him.

But this guy didn't say a single word to me after the game, and now that he's on the plane and his cards are twitching, Jordan hasn't said a single word to Lin Tian.

At that moment, a waiter came over and handed Lin Tian a note, saying, "This is from Mr. Michael."

Lin Tian glanced at the nearly 50-year-old woman and couldn't help but sigh: "Capitalism isn't something we can all learn from!"

In capitalist countries, flight attendants are not all tall, beautiful young women; at least half of them are middle-aged women or grandmothers!

This is utterly inhumane!

As Lin Tian pondered this, he unfolded the note, which contained only one sentence: "I don't owe you anything anymore!"

Goodness, what a smug person!

Lin Tian sighed, then suddenly revealed a trace of guilt.

Not only did he "scam" Jordan out of $400 million, but now he's making this arrogant guy feel like he owes him something? That seems a bit excessive.

However, explanations don't seem to help?

Jordan certainly wouldn't believe it.

Since he won't believe it... how about we lose a little to him today and let him regain some confidence at the gambling table?

Thinking of this, Lin Tian suddenly felt compassion and stood up.

He decided that tonight he would grit his teeth and aim to lose $5!

Yes, lose him 5, let Jordan get off the plane happily, consider it as making up for him!

As for whether losing 5 this time will make Jordan think he's good again and insist on betting with Lin Tian again next time... Lin Tian swears that this is not a pig-slaughtering scheme!

He didn't think that much, and his heart wasn't that dirty!

However, to Lin Tian's surprise, he was discovered as soon as he stood up and took a step toward the makeshift gambling table!

"Ah, I suddenly feel sleepy." Pippen was the first to stand up and walk away.

"I need to write a letter to Madonna! She wrote to me last month, and I haven't replied yet," Rodman chimed in, jumping up as well.

"I only earn a little over a million a year, and I don't even get 400,000 in hand, so I'm not going to participate anymore." Cole was incredibly honest; he stood up and ran away.

Finally, only Jordan, out of pride, didn't run away. He looked at Lin Tian somewhat awkwardly. This guy, who was always fearless, thought he was the best in the world, and whose confidence and arrogance were exaggerated to an extreme, was now speaking with a trembling voice: "Then...then...how about...a couple of rounds?"

Even for someone like Jordan, losing 400 million at once is acceptable! But to be aiming to lose 400 million every time you board a plane...

Jordan is just a god on the basketball court, not a god of printing money. He can't withstand that!

Besides, he just likes gambling, not losing money!

Within the Bulls, everyone was certain that, aside from fighting, Lin Tian was equally invincible at the gambling table.

He's now a "gambling table plague"! Everyone avoids him like the plague!

"Forget it, you guys play, I'm just going to the bathroom." Lin Tian finally understood that after the last time, he had become the most unpopular person at the gambling table among this group of people.

I doubt anyone on the entire Bulls team would dare to bet against them.

…………

For the next two weeks, Lin Tian and the Bulls continued their relentless cycle of games, training, games, training, games, training...

Lin Tian and Jordan, just like before, were locked in a fierce battle of wits in every training session.

Jordan, that awful guy, would still beat Lin Tian horribly in every training session, showing him no mercy.

If it were just a matter of being crushed, that would be one thing. But after losing 400 million on the plane and speaking up for Lin Tian in front of the media, Jordan seemed to feel that he no longer owed Lin Tian anything. So, all that remained between Jordan and Lin Tian was the hatred of losing 400 million dollars!

From then on, Jordan's trash talk and dirty tricks against Lin Tian became increasingly exaggerated and vicious! Many people even felt that the two had some deep-seated grudge!

For example, Phil Jackson!

Jackson knew how little respect Lin Tian showed Jordan, and how stubborn Lin Tian was even when he was getting crushed.

He was very worried!

I'm worried that one day Lin Tian might lose his temper and cripple Jordan!
