Chapter 193: Lin Tian: I'm willing to give up the starting line to Michael! Miller, Barkley: I do, too!
In this game, Miller hit 6 3-pointers and scored 27 points, and Barkley also hit a big double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds, which is the biggest contributor to the Pacers' victory in this game!
On the Bulls' side, Pippen slashed a triple-double of 30 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Kukoc also scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.
And the post-match interview of this game is a little different from the previous games.
That is, there are very few reporters at the press conference, and there are only two or three big cats and kittens, and people who don't know think that this is the scene after the game between the Nuggets and the Grizzlies.
But if you walk out of the press conference and come to a certain passage inside the stadium, you will be surprised to find it...... There are dozens of reporters gathered here, and they are gathered in the middle of a group, and they are conducting interviews.
I am afraid that there are only two people who can attract so many people to interview at the United Center.
Michael Jordan, who has gone home, and Lin Tian, who is surrounded by reporters!
"Lin, what do you think of tonight's game?"
Looking at the first reporter to ask a question, Lin Tian couldn't help but say, "You guys are blocking me here, do you really want to ask me what I think of this game?" β
"What do you think about Crawford sending you off the court with Jordan? Do you think this is the right decision? β
"Very stupid sentence." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "And ordinary stupid questions." β
Lin Tian looked at the reporters in front of him, and he was a little impatient, what are you doing to warm up?
Grab the key point and storm quickly!
Don't waste your time here!
What's going on on the side, what's interesting?
"Well, Lin, we all know that the NBA officially released the final results of the All-Star voting today, and your good buddy Michael Jordan was not selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star starter, but two of your teammates were selected, what do you think about this?"
Here it comes!
Lin Tian coughed and cleared his throat, looked at a group of reporters who were extremely expectant, and said with a smile: "Michael is very great, he is the number one superstar in the NBA in my mind!" He deserves all the accolades, and he's been the unstoppable starting guard for the Eastern Conference Stars since the first year of his career. β
"He deserves it all! But I have to say that the NBA is a great league that is constantly moving forward and never stopping, just look at this year's All-Star starters: Duncan, Garnett and Kobe Bryant in the West are all career starters, and Mutombo in the East has beaten Ewing, an older center. β
"Grant Hill and I are also young stars in our playing years."
"What I want to say is that the guys who came into the league '90 and even '93 are ready, and we're ready to show our talent not only to the fans at the All-Star Game, but also to show our talent to the fans on a higher and better stage!"
Lin Tian believes that half of his remarks are nonsense, and those reporters will definitely be able to find the key points.
The core and focus of so many words can actually be summed up in five words.
Jordan is out of gas!
Lin Tian's words, of course, caused a discussion among the reporters in front of him, and after a riot, a reporter raised his hand and said: "Lin, the Pacers have three people selected for the All-Star starting lineup this year, what do you think about this?" β
"Well deserved." Regarding this kind of problem that sounds like there is no way to stir up trouble, Lin Tian said that Lao Tzu will make him able to stir up trouble!
"This year's Pacers are the best and strongest team I've ever been to, and I know you'd say the Bulls in the first two years, we won 70 games in a row, but we didn't have three people in the All-Star starting lineup at the same time, did we?"
"Both Charles and Reggie deserve to be in the All-Star starting lineup! Whether it's their resume or their performance this year, I think they're the best choice for this year's All-Star Game! β
It's hard to compare! Just put the two teams together and compare them! With a single sentence, Lin Tian blocked back the questions prepared by several reporters below.
Before they could ask, Lin Tian answered directly!
Rush to answer, it's not like that!
Lin Tian's 'rush to answer', the reporters at the scene were caught off guard, and the scene was silent for dozens of seconds, and only then did another reporter stand up and ask another question.
"But isn't Reggie's data too much to look at? He averaged only 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, except for a 3-point shooting rate of 45%, ranking second in the league, he really can't compare with Jordan in other aspects. β
"I don't need you to repeat Reggie and Michael's stats for me, but what I'm going to say is, when did the NBA's All-Star starters tie to the stats? Isn't it true that fans can watch whoever they want? The fans like to hear it, and the rest of the people don't meddle in their affairs and say what they don't deserve to be worthy. β
"At the very least, Reggie has more votes than Michael, which proves that there are more fans who want to see Reggie start than there are people who want to see Michael, and I think it's a very simple math problem, not a complicated comparison problem."
"So, Lin, who do you think is better, Michael or Reggie? Who deserves to be on the All-Star team? After rubbing a few times on the periphery, a reporter finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and came to a single knife straight into and smashed Huanglong! The question that was most of everyone's mind was asked.
"Nothing deserves to be an All-Star, they all deserve to be selected, and they all care about this spot, especially Michael! I'm sure he must be sad now, he must feel abandoned by the fans, that the whole world doesn't love him anymore. β
"But I have to say that Michael is still a good buddy of mine, and I really think he deserves to be an All-Star starter! If he really wants to be a starter, if he wants to start the All-Star Game, I'm willing to apply to the league and ask Michael to be the starter instead of me! β
"Are you willing to give up your All-Star starter for Michael?"
"As long as Michael says a word, I will not hesitate!"
Lin Tian, who said this answer, felt that his face was now full of holy light, focusing on a duke's selflessness and a knife in both sides!
I'm such a good brother, Jordan, where are you looking for it!
And similar questions were not only raised by reporters in this 'sub-venue' of the players' tunnel, but also at the official press conference attended by Bird, Barkley and Miller on behalf of the Pacers.
As for the answer?
Miller: "Michael is one of my best friends, and I'm willing to give up the starting position for him, and while the fans want to see me more, and while the fans may want to see the Pacers backcourt duo continue to shine on the All-Star court, I can give up my position as long as Michael wants!" β
Barkley: "Me too! β
Miller: "All-Star starters, just a symbol, a false name, I don't care about that at all, I only have the championship in my heart!" I just hope to win the championship this year, and I don't care about anything else! β
Barkley: "Me too! β
One reporter pressed on to get Miller to give a clear answer: "So, if Michael called you now and asked you to relinquish your All-Star starter, what would you say to him?" β
Miller: "Everybody has something they care about, Michael wants to continue his 12th consecutive All-Star start, I know his feelings, we've been friends for many years, and if he says up, I'll definitely give him the starting spot!" β
Barkley: "Me too! β
After reporters asked several questions around the All-Star starters, the press conference was officially over, and Barkley, Miller and Bird happily walked in the direction of the locker room.
As for Lin Tian, he had already dealt with the reporters, and he was almost at the door of the locker room at this time.
Today's mood is really happy!
Unfortunately, Jordan didn't give any interviews due to his ejection and the team's loss, and instead chose to go straight home, which led to him getting to see these interviews as early as tomorrow morning.
What a pity!
But Lin Tian is very sure that it is possible for him to sing the double reed with Miller and Barkley, and Jordan will directly rush to Indiana with a knife to cut people.
This is definitely a direct slap in the face, and the three of them take turns slapping Jordan in the face!
Moreover, their plan has to be interesting if the Pacers win tonight!
If you lose, saying anything that makes the starters not care about the starters or anything is almost meaningless and completely insincere.
It's easier to be seen as a clown.
But if you win, then it's easy to say anything!
Regardless of whether the media and fans think that Lin Tian's three people's speeches are true or false, whether they are good or ridiculed, anyway, if someone asks Lin Tian and the three of them now, they will definitely unanimously say: We are ridicule, we are sarcasm, we are falling into the well, that is, you Jordan care about this and want this but can't get it!
Well, there is no little kindness and no little kindness.
Just for the disgusting people!
What Lin Tian regrets most now is that when he went to Jordan's house as a guest before, he didn't leave two pinhole cameras in his home, otherwise, he would definitely be able to see the live broadcast of Jordan angrily flipping the table tomorrow!
It's a pity, it's a pity!
When Lin Tian walked to the door of the locker room, the door of the Pacers' locker room suddenly opened, and Dumas happened to come out of it, as soon as he saw Lin Tian, he hugged him, pulled him out of the locker room, walked to a corner next to him and said, "Lin, I have to talk to you about something." β
"Something went wrong in the locker room?" As soon as Lin Tian saw Dumas's solemn expression, he knew that something must have happened in the locker room when he and Miller and the others were away.
"Jaylen, this guy just said something not very nice when he was chatting with Crohill and Best." Dumas hesitated for a moment, then continued: "I don't like to speak ill of people behind my back, but he said that Reggie and Charles can make it to the All-Star because they have a good relationship with you." β
"If you talk about actual contributions, he is the one who should be selected as an All-Star, and he also said that there are some old dogs, so they should give way as soon as possible, instead of relying on seniority to delay the growth of young people."
"What did Crohill and Best say?" Since the last time Rose went to the office to chat with Bird, he expected that this guy might cause trouble in the middle of the season, and he is now curious about whether Rose has succeeded in forming a gang.
"Best is just because of the status of the team, it's not easy to leave and it's not easy to stop, so he can only keep nodding to deal with it, but Crohill, this guy obviously also feels that Charles occupies his time and position, and he feels that a rookie with the tenth pick in the first round should get more playing time and opportunities, instead of sitting on the bench."
"I see, Joe, thank you so much." Lin Tian patted Dumas on the shoulder, he had long known that Rose might make trouble, but he thought it would be after the end of the season, but he didn't expect that before the All-Star Game arrived, this guy couldn't help it.
At the end of the day, it's the money that's messing around.
As a rookie in 1994, Rose entered the league and signed a five-year, $10 million rookie contract with the Nuggets who drafted him at the time.
This year, it's already the fourth year.
In other words, next season is his contract year, and this season, the team can talk to him about an early contract extension.
But this guy waited until now, and Bird didn't talk to him about an early contract extension, and what does his own status in the team say? It's very embarrassing.
According to the data, he is the team's No. 2-3 person, but in terms of actual status and right to speak, he is a little better than the taciturn Schmitz in the starter, and much worse than Dumas, the leader of the locker room, and the fifth in the team.
At the same time, head coach Bird likes to use veterans and doesn't believe in young players, which makes Rose's playing time more confusing, although he has played very good statistics this season, and even if there are not so many All-Star starters on the team, with his statistics and the Pacers' record, he could probably be selected to the All-Star bench team.
But now, the team has 3 people selected as All-Star starters, and Rose must feel that his chances of being selected as an All-Star bench have greatly reduced a lot!
Alliance, too, is about balance!
In the case that his performance is not so impressive, the head coaches of other teams in the league will not let the Pacers have four people selected for the All-Star Game.
And more importantly, if he doesn't enter the All-Star, Rose will have a lot less leverage in contract extension negotiations, and the amount of his next contract will likely be much lower.
After all, you can't make it to the All-Star, and in the eyes of many fans and executives, that's a world away!
If you don't enter this year, it will affect Rose's wallet!
So of course, he is very unhappy with Dumas, Miller, and Barkley, who are not in good form this season, but occupy a lot of playing time and shots.
It's just that Lin Tian really didn't expect this guy to be so impatient.
At this time, Bird and the other three also attended the press conference, and Lin Tian immediately called them over and repeated what Dumas had just said.
Miller's eyebrows rolled up obviously, "This kid, I don't know how many pounds and taels I weigh, do you?" Didn't he even watch the footage? How many of his stats are the opponents who encompass us and dare not let us go, so they selectively let go of the easy balls he let him take? β
"How many of them are Lin Yi's balls in place and fed directly into his mouth?"
"Now, he actually wants to mess with us?"
"I'm going to beat him up!" Barkley scolded and rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go to the locker room to ask for guilt, but was dragged back by Miller, who was still indignant just now.
"You're crazy Charles, you're going to beat him up now, how will the team manage it in the future? Do you want chemistry and teamwork? If you beat him up now, we'll have to fly half of this season's champion! β
"Then what do you say! Are you going to just put up with it? Barkley spread his hands and looked at Miller.
"Bear with it." Miller surprised everyone's expectations, and nodded directly: "For the sake of this year's championship, a few words of hi, refreshing, and it's not a big deal, as long as this kid knows in his heart and doesn't continue to expand the scope and severity of the trouble, I'm not going to settle accounts with him." β
"If we are completely stiffened because of such a small thing, affect the team's chemistry, and finally cause the team to fail to win the championship, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
"So, Lin, Joe, Larry, what do you think?"
After listening to Miller's words, Bird also nodded and said: "Reggie is right, not bothering him is the best way to ensure the unity of the team's locker room, maintain unity and maintain the same goal until we win the championship, this is the only goal we should have this season!" β
"I don't care, I never take this kind of thing to heart." Dumas, who has always been calm and unscrupulous, also nodded in agreement with Miller's approach.
"You can't just leave it at that." Lin Tian said suddenly: "If he says something he shouldn't say, he should be responsible, if we continue to let him go like this, who knows what ugly things he will say next?" Who knows if he will do anything irreversible to the team? β
"If you wait until that time to regret being too indulgent now, it's too late, let me be this bad guy, and I'll make him apologize to Reggie."
"Then let's keep it private, there's no need to save a little face for him in front of everyone." Miller added after a moment's thought.
It can only be said that for the championship, this stubborn and rebellious shooter really gave up too much!
The team boss, the right to shoot, the tactical position, and the data, now he is almost scolded in the face, and he chooses to forbear.
Three minutes later, Rose, who had been called out of the locker room, walked a little apprehensively to the side of several bigwigs, he was a smart man, and he knew very well why he was brought here.
But he was very worried, because he didn't know what they were going to do with him.
You won't just beat him up, will you......
I heard that on the first day of the rookie season training camp, Lin Tian beat up Brown and others, and he was so fierce that he directly kicked out a few people who opposed him from the team!
Should I ...... That's what happened, right?
Just when Ross was worried, Lin Tian said straight to the point: "Jay, what is the matter with calling you here, you know better than anyone else, we are willing to guarantee your face, but you also have to apologize." β
"Apologize?" Rose was stunned for a moment, then looked at Miller, Barkley, Dumas and others in front of him, he swallowed his saliva, and quickly passed the current situation in his mind, this guy immediately chose to bow his head.
"Reggie, Charles, Joe, sorry! I'm just so happy to win, and I'm joking with Austin, and I swear, none of what I just said is true, I'm really just joking! β
"You'd better, you're really kidding!" Lin Tian suddenly stepped forward, his head almost on Rose's forehead, and said to him in a cold tone: "The first and last time, this team will not allow this kind of situation of saying bad things about teammates behind his back!" β
"If you have a problem, then say it face to face, arranging teammates behind your back, is the bottom line of a team, my team, this situation is not allowed, understand?"
"Understood! Lin, even if I was joking just now, I didn't say a bad word about you! Really, you can ask Joe, I'm loyal to you! You are the eternal leader of the team in my mind! Rose swallowed, frightened by Lin Tian's momentum, took a step back, and leaned almost completely against the wall.
"Yes, Reggie, Charles, are you all satisfied?" Lin Tian nodded, looked at the other people, and after seeing that they all nodded, Lin Tian patted Ross on the shoulder and said, "You go back to the locker room first, we still have something to say." β
Rose immediately felt like he had been pardoned, how could he dare to stay for half a minute, and he didn't dare to ask if there was anything he needed to do, and left the scene quickly.
"I don't think this guy will be completely honest so easily." Lin Tian looked at Rose's back and said, "Larry, you have to make a plan in advance." β
"Don't worry, I know what is most important this year, and I also know what I should do, if he has another time, no matter whether it is serious enough or not, I will definitely send him away as soon as possible!" Bird's tone is also very cold, and the most disgusting thing about the most traditional player like him is that someone is chewing on the root of the tongue and talking nonsense within the team.
"Let's go, then." Lin Tian knew that tonight's matter, at Miller's insistence, was temporarily over, but he had a very clear feeling that Rose's matter had just begun!
After all, he clearly heard it just now that Ross was sowing discord, deliberately raising himself and lowering Miller, that is, this team is bent on winning the championship this year, otherwise Barkley and Miller in previous years will have to fight for Rose's words!
This kid is even worse than he imagined!
Lin Tian felt that he had to think of a way to deal with possible problems at any time.
Rose was babbling gibberish in the locker room, which was nothing league-wide, and even within the Pacers, there were a lot of people who didn't know what was going on, and they thought it was a simple night to win.
But tonight wasn't an ordinary winning night by any measure.
Just look at the crazy printing presses of newspapers and newspapers all over the United States and the countless reporters who stay up late to write and work overtime, you know that there will definitely be a lot of big news tonight!
"The All-Star Voting Results Are Out! Lin Tian greatly refreshed the NBA All-Star vote record! γ
A New Era is Coming! The NBA's first foreign ticket king was born! Lin Tian leads the latest starting lineup of the All-Star Game! γ
"3 people become all-star starters for the first time! A new era is coming sooner than a new century? γ

"The youngest all-star starter in history is born! 'Peter Pan' is under the age of 19 and has become a starter, setting a record! γ
These are not too obvious tendencies, or they are not news issued for the sake of making trouble, they can only be regarded as hors d'oeuvres, and what can really cause a big brawl among fans across the United States has to be those media that publish news completely for the sake of making trouble!
Lin Tian said that the new generation of young players is ready, and they will take over the old school stars! γ
"This season's All-Star Game may become a showdown between the old and the new?" When will the newcomer take over the torch from the seniors? γ
"Lin Tian called the Pacers the best team he has ever been to, and they deserve to be a three-man co-starter!" γ

"Fans can watch whoever they want!" Lin Tian bluntly said that no one has to be selected! γ
Shocked! Jordan is very concerned about the All-Star starting spot, and he has called Lin Tian to hope that Lin will give up the starting position! γ
"11 years in a row All-Star starter record or interruption, will Jordan call the Pacers trio?" γ
"All three of the Pacers said they didn't care about the All-Star starters, and if the league agreed, they would all be willing to let Jordan start!" γ
To care or not to care! The three Pacers are more than Jordan, showing the pattern! γ
Miller: While fans want to see Indiana shine as an All-Star, he's willing to give up his starting lineup for the sake of friendship. γ
Miller: Jordan cares about this, and I'm willing to fulfill him! γ
Miller: Everybody cares differently, I want a championship, and Michael wants to continue his streak! γ
β¦β¦
There are all kinds of reports like this, and because the Pacers guys are making trouble, the media can't wait to quickly interview the stars of the teams that also have games this night, wanting to know their views on this matter.
Anyway, it's none of their business, the stars naturally spoke freely and began to express their positions.
Kidd: It's a shame that Jordan didn't make the start, I grew up watching him play, he's my idol!
Iverson: Anyone in this league asks me to give up a starter, and I refuse to do so, with the exception of one person, and that's Jordan!
Kobe Bryant: I'm very happy to be an All-Star starter, and I'm really looking forward to playing against Michael! He's always been my idol!
O'Neill: Oh! I'm so excited! My little brother Kobe Bryant and I will play together! Oooh! I love All-Stars! I'm going to give you a great show! come onοΌ
Malone: It's all idiots who vote! Michael and I should both be starters! And not some hillbillies and weak shooters.
Peyton: I'm so happy to be the king of the West, it's the first time I've won this honor! But I have to say that if Michael really wants a starting spot, I'm willing to give it up to him! He deserves it!
Ewing: I'm going to beat Mutombo, I'm going to prove that I'm more worthy of starting than him! Michael will do the same, what? Are they done with the regular season? That can only be next year, and we all know that Michael is careful.
Duncan: Huh? Oh! Forehead... Starting? Wow, that's amazing! I am very happy!
β¦β¦
With all kinds of speeches and comments, the All-Star voting results have become a topic of common concern and discussion among fans across the United States overnight.
Especially when the next morning, almost all sports media in the United States used very large and conspicuous pages and headlines to report on this incident, and in the face of the overwhelming news everywhere, the fans' enthusiasm for discussion became more and more high!
Subway, bus, private car, restaurant, office, park, road......
As long as you walk the streets of the United States, as long as you are next to someone, you will almost certainly hear someone discussing the All-Star ballot.
This has become a national topic completely.
And the fans are actually talking about one more hot topic than the players and commentators-
That's the signal that Stern had his subordinates send.
Can an American player break the record of 4 million votes?
When will the American players take back the honor of All-Star vote winner?
Stern's layout one year ahead of schedule makes next year's All-Star Game full of highlights and hope!
Fans, we can't wait!
Even Stern himself has begun to imagine that next year's All-Star vote king will have more than 5 million votes!
Well, as for the offseason labor and management to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, Stern simply forgot about it for the time being.
Stern was so sure he could get the collective bargains right and keep the alliance thriving, and he didn't know how many idiots he would meet and how much trouble he would be annoyed with this summer.
Those, it doesn't matter now!
The most important thing now is this year's All-Star!
And for Lin Tian, the most important thing now is Jordan's attitude!
Or rather, Jordan can bring him something good!
In order to be able to see the broadcast of the system to him for the first time, even if Lin Tian only returned to Indiana with the team in the early hours of last night, he still got up early very rarely, he got up from bed at 7 o'clock in the morning, poured himself a glass of milk, and read the newspaper leisurely.
Next, let's see when Jordan sees the report.
At this time, at Jordan's house, Juanita was quickly packing two breakfasts, asking Jeffrey and Marcus to quickly put them in their pockets, and then kept urging the two of them to hurry up.
"Mom! What's going on? Is there going to be an earthquake? Why are you letting us have breakfast on the road? I don't like to eat in the car, I like to sit at the table and eat breakfast. Marcus pouted, feeling like his dining habits had been broken.
Jeffrey, who was a little more mature, suddenly said: "Mom, you don't want to go for a divorce with Dad, that's why you kicked the two of us out!" We've grown up, and we've endured everything! You can tell us the truth! β
"You two, get me out at once, or when your dad comes out of the gym and sees these newspapers, you will definitely die today!" Juanita sighed helplessly, she had already read the newspaper in advance.
She is very sure that Jordan today must be another angry day! If the two little Jordans hadn't been allowed to run away quickly, they would definitely have to go to school crying today.
Jeffrey, who was already 9 years old and could read a lot of words, glanced at the headline of the newspaper, and even though he was only 9 years old, he immediately understood his mother's painstaking efforts.
Lin Tian called the Pacers the strongest team he has ever stayed in, and although they won't win 70 this year, the Pacers can definitely win the championship! γ
According to Jeffrey's experience, just this one title is enough for his father to be angry for 5 minutes, find him 3 times, and scold his brother and cry 2 times!
After glancing at the thick wad of newspapers again, Jeffrey was sure: Run! Gotta run!
He took Marcus's hand and said, "Let's go, Marcus, stop being verbose!" Believe me, if we don't leave now, we won't have to leave this morning! β
Watching the two little Jordans get into the car with the bodyguards quickly, Juanita finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least, the innocent child is safe, isn't it?
She looked at the wad of newspapers, she really wanted to throw them all in the trash, but she also knew Jordan's temper, unless he made Jordan amnesiac, otherwise the first thing he did after his morning workout from the gym was to read the newspaper while eating.
Ay.
After a deep sigh, Juanita also knew that there were some things that could not be escaped, so wait!
Unless...... Or do you want to run away yourself?
After 10 minutes, Jordan walked out of the gym, wiping his sweat and curious: "Honey, what about Marcus and Jeffrey?" They started school so early today? β
"Well, they got up early today and ate quickly, so they just left." Juanita said: "My dear, you better be prepared, today's newspaper is not very friendly. β
"Unfriendly? When have they ever been friendly? Jordan snorted, sat down in his place, and casually flipped through the newspaper and saw the article Jeffrey had seen.
Lin Tian called the Pacers the strongest team he has ever stayed in, and although they won't win 70 this year, the Pacers can definitely win the championship! γ
Jordan's eyes narrowed, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "That's it?" My dear, I'm not so stingy yet, the season has been going on for so long, and I wouldn't be angry for an article of this level. β
"This is just the beginning." Juanita sighed and motioned for Jordan to continue.
And then......
Jordan's face became more and more exciting, and he didn't say a word.
After 30 minutes, Jordan made a phone call with a black face: "Tim, make me a new training plan, the kind of training plan that challenges my physical limits, and I want to be even more terrifying before the playoffs come!" β
"Michael, you're kidding." The person who answered the phone was Jordan's queen trainer, the famous Tim Grover, who is not only the most well-known and expensive personal trainer in the league today, but also the best and most famous personal trainer in the league in the next 20 years!
Since Jordan, Kobe, Wade, Arenas and other super outside scorers have been his clients and are full of praise for him!
With so many top stars with very different personalities at the same time, Grover certainly has his own unique approach.
But he and his clients have only been in contact during the offseason, because there are so many practices, games, and travel in the middle of the season that even the craziest players can't contact Grover for training at this time.
They only call Grover when they want to practice in the offseason.
There is a limit to human energy!
"You don't care about that, just say if you have any extreme training methods that can drain all my energy and get improved." Jordan didn't explain to Grover and asked questions directly.
"If you're not afraid, of course I have a way! But I promise you'll want to die of pain for the next two months! At the same time, because of exhaustion, the probability of you getting injured will definitely increase, have you really thought about it? β
"When is the fastest time to come to Chicago?"
"This afternoon." Grover has already said what he should say, and since Jordan still let him go, he will definitely come to the client's side as soon as possible: "Old rule, I will first analyze your current training volume and physical condition, and then use this to plan a new training plan for you, we'll see you in the afternoon." β
"My dear ......" Juanita opened her mouth, if there was one person she disliked the most in this league, it would be Grover.
Because this guy is also a madman, a complete lunatic! The kind of madman who won't stop if he doesn't train people until they vomit.
Looking at Jordan, who will turn 35 years old in half a month, Juanita is really a little unbearable.
"I know my body, and I can do it." After Jordan finished speaking, he stood up directly, and then threw all the newspapers into the trash: "I'll go to the gym and practice for another half hour." β
Indiana, who was leisurely eating breakfast, waiting for Lin Tian, who was gifted by nature, straightened up suddenly.
Here it comes! It's finally here!
(End of chapter)
