On the court, Lin Tian and the Pacers players celebrated excitedly, then came to the sidelines to interact with the fans for a while, and then came to the scene of the press conference!

After such a crazy game, tonight's press conference must be crazy and joyful!

Lin Tian, Bird and Lewis, who scored a career-high 17 points in the playoffs tonight, came to the press conference together.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to the Pacers for another great game! Larry, how do you feel after winning a game like this? As soon as he saw the three people sitting down, a reporter immediately laughed and began to ask questions.

"Very good." Bird said lightly: "Although as a coach, I prefer an easy 20-point win. But seriously, tonight's Lin made me forget that I was a coach! I became a complete fan and got into the perspective of a fan! ”

"So, I enjoyed it so much! I feel like I've just seen one of the best Finals in NBA history! ”

"But the good thing is that Larry hasn't completely forgotten that he's still a coach." Lin Tian next to him smiled: "If he forgets to make a substitution and call a timeout, it will be really bad." ”

Lin Tian's joke caused the reporters to burst into laughter, and then one reporter said, "Then Larry, we have all seen your employment tonight, I have to say, great and very unconventional!" ”

"Webb, the team's second-in-command, only played 21 minutes and scored only seven points, and I don't even think Wallace and Davis would have gotten any chance to play in the fourth quarter if it weren't for the foul troubles!"

"Also, for the use of Lewis and the last minute to take Perkins, a veteran, these two substitutions had a very magical effect! What do you have to say about that? ”

"Chris wasn't in great shape tonight, and the Lakers defended him very well, which made it difficult for him to play! But I have to say, he didn't play badly at all! He's made a really good contribution, first of all, passing and playmaking, I know he doesn't have a lot of assists, but who delivered the lethal assist in the most crucial moments, after blocking and dismantling Lin? ”

"And who made so many beautiful passes in regulation time and instigated the team's attack? Without Chris, we probably wouldn't have scored 100 points tonight! He's really amazing! And then there's the defense he's not good at, always criticized, and tonight he has actually done it to the extreme! ”

"His anticipation and choice of O'Neal's help defense, especially the one who caused O'Neal's walking violation, was perfect! Chris didn't score a lot of points tonight, but I'm very happy with his performance! I think he played great! ”

After supporting Webb's wave, Bird paused and continued: "Also, I think we should focus more on this young man next to me on this night. ”

Bird patted Lewis on the shoulder and said:

"I told him that night in the Eastern Conference Finals he was going to be the brightest night of his career so far, but looking at it now, I obviously underestimated him! He's better than I thought he was, stronger than I thought he would! ”

"In less than half a month, he has created a new personal peak!"

Bird's sudden praise made Lewis, who was only 20 years old, very embarrassed, this guy scratched his head, he really had never seen such a big scene tonight.

A reporter immediately understood what Bird meant, stood up and said, "So Rassad, tell me how you feel, how did it feel to shoot four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter?" ”

"Awesome! I can't believe I scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, even now! I can't believe I hit every shot I made! Especially after seeing the final score and thinking that if I missed even one of them, we could lose outright, I felt even more incredible! ”

"Great value! Lin described my goals after the game, saying that every goal I scored was worth a fortune! ”

"We've all noticed too, this is your contract year!" Another reporter stood up at this point, and the reporters finally couldn't help themselves and began to get to work: "After such a good performance in the playoffs, would you seek to leave the team in the offseason?" ”

"No!" Lewis said categorically: "This is my home, I love Indiana, me"

"You'd better stop talking about Rashad." Lin Tian suddenly interrupted Lewis and said, "In case some team offers you a nine-figure contract, you'd better get out of here and get that damn money." ”

"Nine figures?" Lewis was stunned for a moment, he obviously never thought he could possibly take such a big contract.

"You deserve it!" Lin Tian patted him encouragingly and said, "My man, he is worthy of all the contracts!" He won't let anyone down! ”

Lin Tian's generosity and openness really moved Lewis's heart, he looked at Lin Tian's side face, and silently made up his mind in his heart!

"As long as the contract is about the same, I must stay in Indiana! Stay here and build a dynasty! ”

As for if it's too bad

Hundreds of millions of contracts. It's not impossible to leave!

Lewis said he would denounce everyone who wanted to get him out of Indiana!

Unless they give too much.

The next press conference site directly became the scene of Lin Tianzhuang X.

"A triple-double of 60+? I didn't feel anything, I just felt a little tired, after all, I played almost the whole game tonight, and as for the stats or anything, I didn't even look at it. ”

"The ball that the man has scored? No, no, no, I haven't practiced it, never, it's just that I suddenly felt like I could do this in the air, and then I came to one, and the result was not bad, and I was willing to give me a 9 for this action! ”

"The highest score in the history of the Grand Finals? It's okay, after all, if I had thought about it, I could have broken this record a long time ago, wouldn't I? It's just that it was really unnecessary before, Shaq and the Lakers forced me to do my best. ”

"Other teams would have been broken down when I was doing this, and I could have gone down and rested when I scored 45 points at most."

"Some advice for Shaq? Don't score so many points next time, if he gets 25 points and 10 rebounds and loses, at least he won't feel so sad in his heart, and he still loses after scoring 60 points, this feeling is too bad! I know very well how he is feeling right now, I know it very well! ”

"Huh? It's not empathy, I've just seen Michael look sad and almost cry. ”

"Well, yes, it was after the Eastern Conference Finals game two years ago when he scored 66 points, I saw Michael's shoulder twitching, I must have cried."

"I hope Shaq doesn't cry."

Fuck your mother's shit!

!

FUXX!

Your grandmother is crying!

Far away in Washington, Jordan, who has been proud and happy recently, and has almost officially announced that he will be at the helm of the Wizards next season, angrily smashed the extremely expensive Cuban cigar in his hand on the TV.

I'm so angry!

When did Lao Tzu cry?

How can you tarnish people's innocence out of thin air?

Jordan could imagine that the next time he appeared among his friends who were bastards, the bastards would definitely look at him with joy.

Then all sorts of ridicule followed.

What" I heard that you were beaten by Lin and cried? ”

"I watched that game, you were hung up and beaten by Lin!"

What can Jordan do?

Explain that the matter between the god of basketball and his former teammates, is being hung and beaten not hanging, is it a friendly exchange?

Isn't that the whole scene full of joy?

The most disgusting thing about this matter is that Jordan can't explain it, no matter how he explains it, it all seems fake, and it all seems to be trying to cover up!

Nobody believes it!

In other words, even if everyone knew that Lin Tian was talking nonsense, they were willing to believe it.

After all, Jordan was beaten and cried, and he was so funny when he heard it!

What else can Jordan do besides suffer this dumb loss?

No way out!

However, at this time, Jordan has confirmed that he will be at the helm of the Wizards in the new season, so well

Hey, next season, there's a chance to get revenge on you bastard!

In addition to Jordan himself, Lin Tian was the first person to know that Jordan was unhappy.

"Michael Jordan has mood swings and drops 200 XP!"

A wonderful prompt sound came, and Lin Tian said: Comfortable! Very comfortable!

He knew that Jordan, a voyeur, must be watching the game in front of the TV now!

Happy wool, wool in the air, the sheep themselves bald and then the wool courier to the door.

Happy!

Compared with the Pacers' press conference, which was very joyful, full of jokes, the atmosphere on the Lakers' side was not so relaxed, O'Neal, Kobe and Jackson walked into the press conference together.

In addition to being friendly at the beginning, the reporters asked about what it was like to lose the game, Jackson's tactical questions, and O'Neal's regular questions such as whether he would be disappointed if he lost the game after getting 60+20.

But after the warm-up, the reporters' fox tails couldn't wait to be revealed.

"In the final moments of this game, Kobe Bryant hit the iron twice and was directly tackled once, what do you think about this? Is this part of your tactics, Coach Phil? ”

Let's start stirring up!

"It's my tactic! I arranged for Kobe Bryant to shoot when he had a chance, and I also asked him to hold the ball, but there were some problems with tonight's result, what if Kobe Bryant made all three shots? Did he become a hero? ”

"Isn't it a little too paranoid to have a guy who once made four consecutive three-hits in the playoffs to execute this kind of critical offense and shoot it in a row? Maybe at that time, Kobe Bryant should choose to break through? ”

"No, Kobe Bryant has made a lot of these shots, he's got a height advantage, he's got a lot of range, he can do that! That's why he should shoot! Jackson continued to protect Kobe: "Or that sentence, what if he hits?" His shots were all good chances, but he was a little less lucky. ”

"Shaq, then." The reporters saw that Jackson didn't get in and didn't give them any chance to stir up trouble, so they immediately changed their goals, looked at O'Neal and said: "As an inside giant who has the ability to score 60+ points in a single game, you didn't receive the ball at all in the last few rounds, will you be angry?" ”

"Why should I be angry?" When it was time to protect the little brother, O'Neal did not hesitate to maintain his support for Kobe: "Didn't I make a mistake in the end? I ended up being caught in the middle of two guys, and wouldn't it be stupid to pass me back? ”

"Without my teammates feeding me, I could have scored 20 points at most tonight! If it weren't for Kobe Bryant to contain and pass the ball to me, I might not even be able to score 30 points tonight! My teammates have worked hard and have done everything they can to help me open up space and give me a chance to play singles! ”

"It's that I didn't do well enough, if I hadn't been blocked by the front play, if I hadn't had that offensive foul, if I could have blocked Forest's throw at the end, then tonight would have been us!"

"So, I'm very angry at the actions of your good brothers, my little brothers, who denounced me afterwards! All I can say is: if this is the case in the next game, and Kobe Bryant still gets this opportunity in the next game, then keep shooting! ”

"I'm sure next time, he'll be hit! Even if he doesn't shoot, I'll help him get the rebound! I will always support my little brother! ”

O'Neal and Jackson's hard bracing made Kobe very moved, and the guy patted O'Neal's shoulder sitting next to him to express his gratitude, and then took the initiative to say: "I played badly tonight!" There is nothing to deny this, rotten is rotten, garbage is garbage! ”

"If I hadn't been too bad, we would have won!"

"This is the last time! This is the last time I've dragged my teammates back this season, I'll go back and continue to work hard, I'll go back and watch the footage of the game! I'll let everyone know that I could be better! Then, next time, I'll shoot that damn ball! ”

Jackson continued to pick up Kobe's words and said, "In this game, my players have done everything they could!" But the Pacers did just as well, and this kind of game is essentially a contest of luck, and it is normal for two teams that have done it all to see who wins and who loses. ”

"Tonight, obviously the Pacers are closer to perfection than we are, that's it."

"By the way, kudos to the Pacers players! Everyone except Lin Tian played very well tonight! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Rashad is a contract year this year, right? Hahaha, I'm going to get Jerry to keep an eye on him, give him a huge contract, and bring him to the Lakers! And Chris, to be honest, it's not all bad for Chris and Lin to be on the same team, after all, if the two of them are together, I only need one team headache. ”

"If the two of them each lead a team, it would be really bad because then we would have to deal with two top teams led by super talents!"

"That's a lot harder than playing against a team!"

After Jackson said this, his eyes behind his glasses narrowed, even if this kind of sowing discord would not have any effect 99%, but after he finished speaking, he could feel happy, and he already felt satisfied!

A contented Jackson stood up and gave Kobe Bryant and O'Neal a look.

Then, the three of them got up together and left the scene of the press conference.

Next, they have something else to do.

O'Neill, who was about to vomit, hurried back to the hotel to rest.

Jackson is going to start watching replays of the game and looking for where the team can improve next.

As for Kobe, he's going to practice.

When he returned to the locker room, he grabbed the two team's assistant coaches and told them that he wanted to practice his strong 3-point shooting against defense, as well as his reaction and ball protection ability after being cut during a jump shot!

Even if the second game of the finals will start the day after tomorrow, Kobe Bryant still has to improve himself as much as possible!

Even if he can't stop being cut by someone, Kobe Bryant must be able to react quickly after being cut by someone, protect his basketball as soon as possible, and prevent the opponent from playing fast attack directly!

In short, he is going to torture himself!

Although both Jackson and O'Neal expressed their recognition and support for Kobe, Kobe himself was obviously not satisfied or reconciled!

He himself knows very well that the last moment of the night will be to lose at his hands! It's that he didn't make it, it's his continuous iron hits and mistakes that caused the team to lose!

………………

Alert! Webb was angry in the locker room after the game, saying that he had been 'underpriced'! Webb's relationship with Bird came to a freezing point! 》

Who's the culprit? The championship is about to be won, and the Pacers have broken out rumors of infighting! 》

"It's all about money!" The Pacers have one of the top five salaries in the league, and if they keep their current roster, their salaries will increase even further! 》

"The new luxury tax package will be implemented starting in the 01-02 season, how much more will the Pacers have to pay if they maintain their current roster?" 》

"In order to keep the core offensive group, the Pacers have put Ben Wallace on the shelf! 》

In between the first and second games of the finals, all kinds of news and reports poured out, and the media frantically reported all the news related to the finals.

But this time compared with the previous finals that Lin Tian has participated in, there is a big difference!

That is, at least a third of the reports are stirring trouble!

For example, when Lin Tian was reading the newspaper, he saw all kinds of reports about the Pacers' infighting, salary, contract, salary space and the like.

This is during the Grand Finals!

Normally, this kind of news will start to be reported wildly after the end of the season, but this year, it was inexplicably half a month earlier!

Very abnormal!

Although the media in the United States likes to stir up trouble and is good at stirring up trouble, unless they are mortal enemies or really have a blood feud, they will not make trouble during the finals!

After all, the media would like to see a series of exciting events more than to make trouble!

That's where they make money, and that's the tacit understanding between them and the alliance.

After all, you can't kill chickens to get eggs and fish with all your might!

But this year, everything is different.

Lin Tian, who was a little unhappy and inexplicable, was actually very worried when he walked into the locker room, because he knew very well that so much such news broke out at this time, which is likely to have a serious negative impact on the team, and it will really affect the team's chemistry!

He was worried about what would go wrong in the team's dressing room.

It's not that I'm afraid that it won't be solved, and it's not that I'm afraid that someone will make trouble.

Lin Tian is confident that he can solve all problems.

He's just annoying, he's disgusting!

Pure nausea.

At this time, this group of media really has no lower limit.

But when Lin Tian just came to the door of the locker room, he heard bursts of laughter and noise coming from inside.

Then Bird's laughing voice came out.

"What are you guys! When I played the Finals against the Los Angeles people, guess what? And the Los Angeles media said that McHale and I were gay! ”

"Lao Tzu has inexplicably become the spiritual leader of that group of dead glass! FUXX！ Do you know what was in Lao Tzu's mailbox during those days? It's all love letters from that kind of! I'm disgusting! ”

Just listening to Bird's words, Lin Tian reacted completely.

Los Angeles media mess up!

As the entertainment capital of the United States and even the world, the city that claims to have the most paparazzi, media, entertainment reporters and the most media power in the world, relying on the power of the media to make crazy things during the finals is indeed their usual off-the-shelf move.

I have to say that Bird, an old guy who has been entangled with the Lakers for many years, really knows very well about these tricks of the Lakers!

Moreover, the experienced Bird obviously guessed that the team would definitely have some psychological problems because of the Los Angeles media, so he came to the team's locker room early in the morning to communicate with the players, and by the way, also told some old news that the devil knew was true or false, so that the players could have a good time.

"Larry, you're not gay?" Lin Tian pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in: "You don't want to tell them a story, just here to try to whitewash yourself!" ”

"Fuck off! Lao Tzu likes women! Lao Tzu has loved women since he was 3 years old! At the age of 80, I still like women! Bird said without an image of a middle finger: "But I have to say that the ability of the Los Angeles bastards to do the whole job is really much worse than before." ”

"They used to be able to do more work, but this year's play is really boring."

"Do we have infighting over such trivial matters? It's ridiculous! ”

Bird shrugged his shoulders and said, "Gone are the days of show time, and the Los Angeles media of that era has degraded to the point where it is unsightly. ”

"Don't talk about that useless Larry!" Lin Tian waved his hand disdainfully and said, "You just look me in the eye seriously and say that you are not gay!" ”

“FUXX！” Bird scolded: "Lao Tzu is not! ”

"Say you swear to God, you're definitely not!"

"I swear to goddamn God, I'm definitely not!"

"What's not?"

"It's not. FUXX！ You're not done, aren't you? ”

Lin Tian and Bird had a fight, and in the locker room of the Pacers, there was a burst of laughter, and the players dispelled the nausea after seeing various reports this morning.

But Lin Tian, who sat in his seat and began to pack up his things, also knew very well that although this time it was the media in Los Angeles who was deliberately making trouble, what they said was indeed the truth.

The Pacers' salary situation is indeed not very optimistic, and they will have a lot of trouble this summer.

The first is Chris Webber's contract, he can choose to jump out of the 6-year 57 million contract to become a free agent this summer, judging from his performance and strength, a 7-year salary of about 90 million, he is absolutely deserving!

and Dale Davis's contract is also expiring this year, and this blue-collar player who is fierce defensively, can grab boards, block and help defend, and the market price this year is also between 6 million and 8 million.

Then there's Lewis' two-year final salary, which also expires this summer, and he also faces a contract extension.

Then there are the two veterans of Mullin and Perkins, if they win the championship this year, with their current form and age, there is a high probability that they will retire.

If you look at it this way, Bird's workload this summer is definitely huge!

And even if Webb, the hardest one, doesn't jump out of his contract and waits until next year, Bird's workload next year will be huge.

Because Carter and Christie's contracts will expire next year, Carter will definitely get a maximum salary, and Christie's level can at least get a middle-class level, that is, a contract of 5-7 million.

And Reggie Miller, whose contract has also expired, after taking the cheap contract for so long, does the team have to give this meritorious man a decent decent?

Big head!

Lin Tian just thought about it, and he felt a big head for Bird!

Especially considering that from next season, his salary will reach 19.7 million, which means that next year he will beat Garnett and O'Neal and others, ranking first in the league's salary list!

However, Lin Tian is also full of confidence, he firmly believes that every dime he gets is worth it, and he also firmly believes that he should get the highest salary in the league!

Soft eggs and unconfident cowards will find good guys and strong teammates through pay cuts, when did Jordan take a pay cut? When did O'Neill take a pay cut? Take as much as you want, without thinking about the expenses and difficulties of the capitalists!

I, Lin Daguan, am justified in getting the highest salary!

Of course, there is another kind of person who, after receiving the maximum salary, starts to complain about the team's lack of reinforcements and the team's lack of competitiveness, and asks the team to trade him.

Lin Tian felt that this kind of person was as shameless as the previous kind of person.

If you take how much money you can do and occupy the team's budget, then grit your teeth and play out the value of the extra money you get!

If you want to get more money and want the team to find you a top helper to compete for the championship, this is the standard and standing!

To put it simply: if you don't have the ability, take less, and if you have the ability, take more.

Do as much as you want!

Anyway, Lin Tian thinks: he should get the highest salary in the league!

At the same time, as Lin Tian said at the press conference: he will not use anything like brotherhood to ask one of his teammates to take a big salary cut to stay in the team!

If he could have taken 10 million, for the sake of the championship and feelings, he would have stayed in the team for a friendship price of 9 million, then he would have stayed.

But if people could have taken 10 million, and you have to ask people to take 5 million for some dreams, ideas, and brotherhood, then you are purely robbing.

So Lin Tian has been ready for a long time, if Bird asks him to persuade Webb and Lewis to stay in the team this summer, if it is really just a little worse, then help, but if it is much worse, then Lin Tian will definitely encourage them to get a lot of money!

"Lin, come on." After chatting with the players in the locker room for a while, after completely eliminating the impact of the Los Angeles media's off-the-board moves, Bird waved at Lin Tian and motioned for him to come out with him.

Walking to the door of the locker room, Berdra led Lin Tian into another room, then closed the door and said, "How is it?" What do you think? ”

"What do you think? them! They are looking for teeth all over the ground! Let the Los Angeles media not even be able to let out a fart next! Lin Tian expressed his confidence without hesitation.

"Not that." Bird shook his head and said, "I'm asking you, what do you think of our offseason this year, or this year and next year?" There's no way I'm going to leave everybody. ”

Speaking of this, Bird sighed and said: "I talked to the boss, he is willing to pay the luxury tax, but it is only a little, if you are raising a 20 million or even 30 million level player, plus Chris and Vince two 15 million level, and then there are Ben, Doug, Reggie and other other players." ”

"The team has to pay 3-40 million US dollars in luxury tax every year, and the boss will definitely not be able to withstand it, in the final analysis, although our boss is willing to spend money, but it is not to the point of throwing money as a stone to play, except for New Yorkers and Los Angeles, other teams, I am afraid that no one will spend money like this."

After listening to Bird, Lin Tian also understood what Bird meant, this is asking Lin Tian what he meant, so that Lin Tian can make a choice among those teammates who are about to become free agents!

Who stays, who doesn't stay.

"Chris has to stay." Lin Tian said without much hesitation: "He is almost irreplaceable, his ability and technical characteristics, looking at the entire alliance, there is no second replacement, so, he must stay!" ”

"As for the rest of the guys, do your best!"

After Lin Tian said this, Bird was obviously relieved.

He was really worried that no matter what Lin Tian said, he would leave everyone behind and let the team continue to win the championship.

Then he's really out of line!

There was even a sentence that Bird didn't actually say.

That's what the Pacers owner told him.

It's just that if Lin Tian really doesn't care about it and wants Bird to keep all the current lineups and continue to win the championship, then the team can only seek some huge changes!

As for how huge?

The boss didn't say anything, but Bird knew exactly what he meant.

Trade Lin Tian!

Taking advantage of Lin Tian's current trade value at the highest point, the team can still remain competitive by making a move on a high price in exchange for other top players and draft picks!

It's ruthless, but that's the NBA, that's business.

If the luxury tax is not used, then the stay will be gritted and kept, but the luxury tax system, which will be officially implemented next season, will definitely make 90% of the owners of the league be cautious when spending money.

After all, when the time comes, it will be a doubling mode of spending 1 yuan and paying 2 yuan!

Except for New York and Los Angeles, the bosses in other places really don't dare to do this!

Including Chicago! If there had been a luxury tax system in the 90s, Reinsdorf would never have hesitated to negotiate that $30 million contract with Jordan, and he would even buy Jordan a plane ticket and drive him on a plane to New York.

Go wherever you like!

Don't come back, have a nice trip!

It's the same for the Pacers, Lin Tian can bring championships and glory, but if the team owner spends 100 million a year on player salaries for the championship in this era, then they will definitely say: Bye-bye!

Instead of letting Lin Tian make trouble in the team and causing the team's record to decline and Lin Tian's transaction value to decline, it is better to take advantage of Lin Tian's peak of transaction value and sell him early, and also seek to maximize a benefit.

But fortunately, Lin Tian's words relieved Bird and made Bird completely relaxed.

At the very least, you don't have to tear your face, do you?

Everyone's happy!

As for who will stay in the summer, and who will leave?

At least now it's certain that Webber won't be gone, will he?

With Lin Tian and Webber here, Bird is confident that the team will be maintained at an extremely high level! As for the rest

Let's talk about it next summer!

In the training hall chartered by the Lakers, Jackson had the curtains closed, all the lights turned off, and the entire training hall was pitch black, and the only thing that was lit up was the projection on the white wall.

The movie shown above is Saving Private Ryan.

The players of the entire Lakers team are watching intently.

Well, except for Hubble.

When this guy was on the Bulls, he had watched the movie with Jackson several times, and he was completely uninterested at this point.

If it weren't for the fear of being targeted by Jackson, he would have fallen asleep by now.

Fortunately, at this time, the movie has come to an end, and it is about to enter the subtitles, and Hubble can be regarded as having survived.

But then, when the movie ended and Hubble breathed a sigh of relief, Jackson walked to the projector with a smile, took out another tape, and changed it in.

Rocky 5!

A 1990 sports inspirational movie, written, directed and acted by Stallone, and it is also the IP that Stallone can become a super-first-line actor in Hollywood!

Many Lakers players, especially Kobe Bryant, who grew up in Italy as a child and haven't seen much old movies, have really not seen this 90-year-old movie!

But after Hubble saw the opening credits, he couldn't help but scream.

What Hubble wants to do most now is to find Stallone and beg him to hurry up and shoot Rocky's sixth part.

Otherwise, he's really going to vomit.

Jackson, how much does this guy like these old movies, and how much he likes to watch them again and again!

He didn't expect that poor Hubble played for the Bulls for many years and then turned around and came to the Lakers again?

In a frenzy!

In a frenzy!

Hell knows this is the first time Hubble has watched Rocky with his teammates!

As a guy who doesn't like to watch movies very much, and he doesn't like boxing, this kind of movie is explosive after watching it once, and it feels like a real dick after watching it twice, and it is worth reminiscing after watching it three times.

But just watch it again and again?

Kill him!

Hubble felt that his youth was all wasted watching old movies, and now, he even misses Jackson's yoga class, and even the book he gave him, what is it called, "War and Peace"?

It doesn't matter, Hubble hasn't even finished reading the preface anyway.

But at least, Hubble would rather read a book now than watch Rocky 5 again!

Perhaps the only good news for Hubble is that saving Private Ryan lasted 169 minutes, compared to 107 minutes for Rocky 5! He could have been tortured for a whole hour less.

Well, because I've watched it too many times, Hubble has long remembered the duration and various details of these classic inspirational and bloody war films, and then

Then Jackson said: You kid is too young!

Rocky 4!

The good news is that Rocky has only made 5 films, at least now Hubble doesn't want to urge Stallone to make "Rocky 6", and he even wants to destroy all the discs and videotapes of the first five.

Well, the other piece of good news is that Jackson finally didn't let his players keep watching because time was running out.

The remaining 1-3 "Rocky", Jackson didn't let them continue to watch.

But the bad news is that Jackson didn't let the curtains be opened, just told everyone to take a break, stretch and go to the toilet.

And then?

Then it was time for the yoga session that Hubble had just been thinking about and missing!

"Relax your hearts and forget about the unpleasantness of the past."

"Forget all the distractions, forget the failures and the iron."

"Even, forget about the series, forget about your profession and the Lakers."

"Empty yourself, empty yourself completely."

"Imagine yourself as a butterfly."
