Chapter 369 The Golden State Slam Dunk King is Online! A Little Kid Crying Alone!
Barkley somehow got hold of two of those face masks that you wear on your face, the kind that make a whistling sound when you blow on them, and then your eyes, nose, and tongue all pop out quite a distance. This guy kept hovering around Jordan from the second half of the game.
Then, while wandering around, he kept taking every opportunity to blow the whistle, which made Jordan furious, wishing he could pin Barkley to the ground and beat him up to vent his anger.
Lin Tian's actions weren't much better than Barkley's, but he was clearly worse.
He and his players were cheering for Jordan.
"Michael! Victory is certain!"
"Michael, Michael, I love you!"
"Michael is our life! We are the Michael cheerleaders!"
"Keep it up! One more point!"
"Get fired up, Michael's team! You are the 'Flame Men' team that never gives up!"
To be honest, when the score is close, this kind of cheering can give the players a huge boost, making them more motivated and determined to give it their all.
The problem is that Lin Tian's team only started cheering when Jordan's team was down by more than 30 points, and when the whole team clearly didn't want to play anymore and were only thinking about not getting beaten up.
That behavior is full of mockery.
If you add Lin Tian's wicked grin and gloating expression, the purpose of these guys cheering for Team Jordan becomes even more obvious!
That's definitely malicious.
Now, Jordan wants to pin Lin Tian and his teammates to the ground and beat them up!
And that Rodman, still wearing sunglasses, arms crossed, standing there motionless, trying to look cool and profound! I want to punch him too!
And what's so scary about Barnes, Pietrus, and Perkins? They're just a little intimidating-looking, right? Do you think they can actually beat you up on the court? You have no backbone or guts! Disgraceful!
I want to pin them to the ground and beat them all up!
Anyway, after this game, Jordan wanted to punch more than 40 people!
And this time, he made up his mind: he would never come again!
bully!
Is everyone just putting on an act? Can't even win a single game, huh?
Every time I choose someone, before the fight, they all boast like they're the chosen one, the savior, or the next king of the league. But what happens after the fight?
Shit is not!
FUXX!
Luckily, I still have Kwame! Luckily, I saw the boundless energy and enormous potential hidden within this big guy!
After this talent show ends, I'm going to Washington, D.C., to give Kwame special training! We'll train together for the whole summer, and I bet he'll dazzle everyone!
That damn Lin, you made a bet with me, didn't you?
7 points and 4 rebounds per game? Or 8 points and 5 rebounds per game? Never mind! It doesn't matter!
I'll personally guide you and train you into a super rookie with 20+10 stats!
Just wait to die!
"Achoo!" Brown, who was playing NBA LIVE on his PS2 at home in Washington, suddenly sneezed. He had no idea that his life was about to undergo a dramatic change, nor did he know that Jordan was already thinking about how to torture him so that he could become a 20+10 level superstar!
Right now, I feel a chill run down my spine and I'm shivering!
"Michael Jordan's emotions have fluctuated, resulting in a loss of 100 experience points!"
With that sound, the system's broadcast finally ended. Just now, the system had been broadcasting to Lin Tian more than ten times in a row, like popping beans, all of which were big gifts from Jordan!
This series of gifts also reminded Lin Tian of all the moments he had fought alongside Jordan!
This league really can't do without Jordan!
Without Jordan, this league would earn at least 30% less each year!
Thank goodness, he's back! Michael's coming back!
Lin Da Guanren's happy life is about to return!
After the game, according to the rules, although Jordan's and Barkley's teams can continue to train with the trainers, they will be eliminated from the show. From now on, they will only be able to train and watch as spectators.
Of course, they still have one last chance: Lin Tian and Rodman can choose two players from the team they defeated to add to their roster.
"I won't choose. I have enough people here, and I don't want newcomers to affect my brothers' playing time." Lin Tian shook his head, indicating that he would not choose.
Rodman took off his sunglasses, glanced disdainfully at the Jordan team players, and finally looked at Jordan's face, shaking his head: "They're all cowards, I won't choose them either."
FUXX!
It's not like I'm afraid of you! It's not like I'm afraid of your team, so why are you acting like a coward in front of me?!
Jordan's anger flared up instantly, and his scalp was practically deformed by the hair that was still growing out of the way he was trying to win the championship.
I'm so angry!
Increase Kwame Brown's training intensity by another 10%! He has to perform at his best! We can't wait, we simply can't!
After the first climax of the show, Barkley and Jordan's team disbanded, and Jordan hurriedly left Hawaii.
His contract stated that he could leave early or stay, but Jordan, who had been collectively humiliated by everyone, was in no mood to stay and watch the show. He had to go back and give Brown a stern talking-to!
The holiday is over!
As for Barkley, this guy who loves watching the excitement naturally stayed. He had no tasks or pressure in the upcoming games, but he would still get his money. He would be a fool to leave directly. He might as well stay here and wander around to kill time!
On the other hand, after the day's matches, the remaining two teams are each allowed two days off before starting their next training session.
Then, Rodman and his gang of criminals simply disappeared!
Yes, they disappeared! They chased away everyone who wanted to film, and even Butler and Barnes threatened the cameraman, making him too scared to follow.
Then, Rodman swaggered away with his men.
Staff member: That was the closest I've ever come to death! I couldn't bear to follow along, I absolutely couldn't!
MSG staff lost track of a group of people, so they naturally reported it immediately. Dolan was really scared when he heard it. With Rodman's character and the lousy temperament of his men, what could they do if they weren't allowed to follow them?
Instead of breaking the law, Dolan cut off his own head and gave it to Rodman to kick around like a football!
He immediately called Rodman, hoping to salvage the situation.
If something goes wrong, his show will be canceled in its third season!
"Don't worry, boss. I'll take the kids out to do something fun and they'll be back tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, my foot! Dennis, you bring your men back right now! Have you considered that half of the people you're with are minors? There are places they can't go anywhere. If something happens to them, you'll never earn any money in your life!"
"I know what I'm doing," Rodman said with his usual nonchalant attitude. "I'm just showing them around for some fun, I promise we won't get caught!"
Look! People are saying they're guaranteed not to be discovered, not that they're guaranteed not to do anything bad.
At least, he's quite sincere!
If they guarantee it won't be discovered, then you can't be at ease at all!
Dolan was extremely anxious and frustrated, but unfortunately, this place was Hawaii, not New York, and he didn't know where to start looking for someone.
"Don't worry, Dennis knows what he's doing." At this crucial moment, Lin Tian stepped forward, patted Dolan on the shoulder, and reassured him.
"Are you sure nothing bad will happen?"
"Who knows, but there's no use worrying about it." Lin Tian shrugged and said, "On the bright side, his team won't get bullied. I even suspect that some of the younger guys are carrying one of these things."
As he spoke, Lin Tian gestured an American-style iaido pose to reassure Dolan.
Oh, you can protect yourself? Then I'm not at all relieved!
I'm even more worried now!
What, are you planning to start a street brawl and kill a few people when a real conflict breaks out?
Dolan, who has always been fearless and thought he was the best in the world, is now genuinely getting anxious.
Next season, they're saying they won't leave their home base of New York. Next season, they're saying they won't hire someone like Rodman who they can't control at all. It's just asking for trouble!
"Lin, how's it going? Where did Dennis and the others go?" Old Curry asked curiously as soon as he saw Lin Tian return.
"Let me give you a piece of advice, Dale," Lin Tian shrugged. "Don't let anyone from Stephen or Dennis's team hang out with you. They'll definitely lead you astray!"
"And you guys are the same," Lin Tian said to James, Wade, and their group. "You'll be dragged down with you."
"I'm not afraid of that. When I was in Baltimore, I often wandered the streets. I've seen it with my own eyes," Anthony couldn't help but say, eager to show off.
"Carmelo!" Lin Tian suddenly looked at Anthony sharply, and then said, "If you really want to make a name for yourself in the NBA and fully realize your potential, you must manage yourself and you must distinguish between what you can and cannot do."
"But they are all my family."
"I know I didn't ask you to leave your family, nor did I ask you to do anything. I just want to tell you what a proper man should do."
"It's not about saving face or loyalty, or doing illegal things with your brothers to show guts! That's what little boys do! Anyone would do that!"
"But if you consider yourself a good man, then what you should do is pull your brothers out of their misbehavior, stop them from going astray, and guide them onto the right path, instead of letting them use your reputation to mess around."
"Boys do things simply and directly; they do what they want to do. Men, on the other hand, do things that may not be understood by others, but are certainly the right things!"
After hearing Lin Tian's words, Anthony nodded. Lin Tian was not sure if he understood, but he did not intend to say anything more.
Just from those few sentences, Lin Tian already felt that his words had a strong fatherly tone, and his persona had completely gone astray!
He wouldn't say a word if he didn't genuinely like players like Anthony.
Just as he couldn't persuade Jordan to choose Brown, he might not be able to persuade Anthony to leave the gang.
Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit awkward, the youngest member, Curry, suddenly said, "How about we have a dunk contest? I just learned a couple of moves from Lin! I guarantee I'll be able to dunk!"
"Let's go then!" Lin Tian clapped his hands and said, "Dale, me, and Borg will be the referees. Who else wants to participate?"
"Me! Me! Me! Me!" Curry, the proposer, immediately raised his hand excitedly, looking confident and ready to show everyone his dunking skills.
"When did he learn to dunk?" Lin Tian asked curiously. This kid didn't know how to dunk when he first came. How did he learn it in just a few days?
"He can't," Dell Curry said firmly. "Last night, I just lowered a basket by 10 centimeters, and he thought he could."
"Stephen must be your biological son!" Lin Tian nodded, suddenly filled with anticipation for the dunk contest!
Next, Anthony, Wade, and others stepped forward eagerly, ready to dunk. Then Lin Tian noticed that James, who had the best physical attributes and flew the highest, was still sitting on the floor.
"LeBron, aren't you going to show off a couple of moves?"
"I don't want to be labeled a dunker," James shook his head and said. "I don't like dunking either. For me, a layup is the same as a two-pointer."
Lin Tian scratched his head, thinking that this kid was really something.
How to put it? It reminded Lin Tian of his childhood, probably during his elementary and middle school years.
At that time, Lin Tian had just watched Dragon Ball, and he scoffed at Launch's big steamed buns!
I'm absolutely obsessed with the character of Lan Qi, who changes personality whenever she sneezes!
So Lin Tian also created a persona for himself at that time.
When he wears a wristband on his left hand, he is a warm, sunny, and eloquent young man. When he doesn't wear a wristband, his other personality emerges: a cold, ruthless, and taciturn world-class assassin with exceptional skills!
It features a cruel, cold, sensitive, and fierce character!
Lin Tian played this game for two days, and eventually, amidst Lin Jun's military boxing + Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff and the curses of "I'll make you a killer! I'll make you a top-tier player!", Lin Tian gave up on the setting of having a dual personality.
Then?
Then, for a long time afterward, Lin Tian was sometimes an aloof poet whose talents were not recognized, sometimes a depressed young man whose family had fallen on hard times, and sometimes he would just smile foolishly at the air.
When someone asks him what he's laughing about, he says, "I'm marveling at the beauty of this world. I wonder how long this world can last? Every time I think about destroying it with my own hands, I feel a pang of reluctance."
And then?
Forget it, I won't say anymore. Being tied to a tree by my own father is a bit embarrassing.
Well, the reason Lin Tian said all this is to express that he understands James very well.
Young people, huh!
It's perfectly normal for people to like posing, creating a mysterious persona, and elevating their social status!
Lin Tian didn't say anything more, but instead watched the players' dunking performance!
Anthony and Wade are two monsters, each with their own unique abilities, capable of flying and disappearing into the ground!
The rims were clanging loudly as 360-degree dunks, windmill dunks, and tomahawk dunks were performed. Even Lin Tian couldn't resist and went up to perform his signature windmill dunk from the free-throw line!
When Lin Tian returned to the referee's area after his dunk, he saw Curry sitting there hugging his legs, looking utterly bewildered, with tears streaming down his face.
"No way! I dunked it last night! I could do it last night, why can't I do it today? It doesn't make sense. Do I really have no talent? But I want to be the dunk contest champion!"
Look... this kid's method is so simple!
They have clear goals and dreams, even if they are unrealistic and outrageous, but they do have dreams, right?
As for whether it can be achieved.
After a day of rest, the training camp resumed with training, simulation preparations, and daily filming.
To Dolan's relief, Rodman finally returned to the show's location with his team around noon the next day. Just by looking at them, you could tell that what they did the night before must have been very much in line with their appearance and persona!
Dolan didn't even ask where they went; he was afraid his heart wouldn't be able to take it! Now that everyone was back safely, it had nothing to do with him anymore!
Soon after, the final internal battle, the match between Lin Tian and Rodman's team, officially began!
There's not much to say about the game itself; it was a close match. Rodman's team was indeed fierce and ruthless, but Lin Tian's team was no pushover either, especially with two NBA veterans on the sidelines. The two sides fought all the way to the very end, with neither side gaining the upper hand!
In the fourth quarter, Lin Tian substituted Muggsy Bogues and Stephen Curry, preventing them from playing.
This is a place where young people make their name, but these two older folks are just going through the motions, putting in a little effort to help their son chase after his idols! They're really risking their lives for them!
The two experienced veterans had no complaints whatsoever. They were just there to have fun, and they didn't really care whether they played or not, how much screen time they got, or how much exposure they received.
The entire fourth quarter then fell to the players led by the 03 trio, and the score remained close, making it difficult to determine a winner!
Lin Tian's team has better natural talent, with incredible aerial and ground-based abilities, while Rodman's team is aggressive and fierce in defense.
With 10 seconds left in the game, Rodman's team was still leading by one point!
Then James, who was still playing point guard and hadn't fully developed yet, dribbled and drove to the basket, drawing a double team. He then made a sudden lateral pass to West, who was standing on the wing preparing to go for the rebound. West was unprepared after receiving the ball, and his shot bounced off the rim!
Rodman's team won!
This criminal gang, the least favored before the competition and assembled by the laid-back mentor Rodman, won two consecutive matches! Next, they will represent the show "Produce Camp" in those international battles!
Lin Tian's work is pretty much over. He doesn't feel any regret. Whether he's a champion or not, it's just a show! As long as he doesn't lose to Jordan, everything is fine.
His final task was to gather everyone in the team together for a good chat and to give them some parting words.
David West: I'll practice my mid-range shot! I won't miss it again if I have the chance!
LeBron James: I will continue to play the basketball that I believe is right and reasonable! When I'm double-teamed, I will pass to an open teammate; basketball is a team sport!
Anthony: If I have another chance to win, I will control the ball from the start of the possession and I will make the fatal blow myself!
Wade: Lin, do you think I should enter the draft next year or the year after?
After a series of polite exchanges and clichéd events, Lin Tian chose to leave early, as his brand activities around the world were about to begin!
This summer, he is destined to be just as busy as ever!
From Europe to Asia, and then back to China, to have a good reunion with his family, and then the day after his grandfather started urging him to get married and asking what color his girlfriend was, Lin Tian took a plane and ran away, returning to Indiana!
By the time he returned to Indiana, it was already the end of August, and he still didn't have much time.
Now, he needs to prepare for the exhibition match that Dana Bai has prepared for him at the end of September. What did Dana Bai give this match?
Was it the World Martial Arts Tournament or some kind of ultimate crossover battle between top martial artists?
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that as soon as Lin Tian got off the plane, he knew who his opponent was!
There are too many reporters!
"Lin, are you absolutely certain of victory in this challenge against Tyson?"
"Rumor has it that although you're fighting in the octagon, you two will be using boxing rules, is that true?"
"Tyson is a notorious criminal. Wouldn't you worry about damaging your reputation if you fought him?"
"Rumor has it that Tyson's appearance fee is as high as $2800 million! Is that true?"
"Did you prepare any special moves for Tyson this time? We heard you once knocked out Malone in one second with an armbar!"
"Would you focus on ground techniques and then defeat Tyson using ground fighting, which Tyson isn't good at?"
"Would you engage in a direct confrontation or use a defensive, maneuvering strategy to fight him?"
"Do you take special care to protect your ears?"
Are you worried about getting knocked out?
Lin Tian immediately understood what was going on based on this series of questions.
Dana White really found himself a formidable opponent!
Damn, isn't that a bit too strong?
If you ask 100 people who the best boxer or the strongest champion in boxing history is, you'll probably get 100 different answers, each with its own reasons.
However, if we were to choose the strongest heavy hitter, the most aggressive, the most brutal, the most entertaining and powerful boxer in history, Tyson would most likely be voted number one!
His popularity, the sensation he caused, his charisma in the boxing ring, and his bloodthirsty fighting style have driven countless people crazy for him!
Many people even directly called Tyson the strongest single fighter among 60 billion people on Earth!
Even though Lin Tian possesses multiple fighting talents and the attributes of various top athletes, and once easily crushed all opponents to win a gold medal at the Olympics, leading many to call him a genius fighter whose talents were wasted on basketball, Lin Tian himself is extremely confident in his fighting ability.
But when faced with the sudden challenge of visiting the Thai Forest, I still felt a little apprehensive.
Yes, Tyson is past his prime. After losing to Holyfield twice, this most terrifying attacking monster in boxing history is now widely recognized as no longer possessing top-level skills.
Although he won a few more matches afterward, his opponents were all unknown players, such as Karami.
How nameless and anonymous were these opponents?
Even if you search for their names on Chinese encyclopedias 20 years from now, you won't find any Chinese translations!
It's that bad!
Because his opponents in several consecutive matches were too weak, many people have come forward to criticize Tyson for being afraid to fight against top boxers, and some have even mocked him as a coward.
But these are not the biggest problems Tyson is facing now. His biggest problem is that these people are right! His condition is indeed no longer comparable to his peak. His speed, strength, and endurance have all declined significantly due to his irregular and indulgent lifestyle.
Coupled with Tyson's own indiscretions and declining reputation, many people who once regarded him as a hero now believe that he is no longer worthy of appearing in the boxing ring.
This has resulted in Tyson, who used to earn over $3000 million per fight at his peak, now commanding far less.
At the same time, he found himself in an awkward situation.
That means if he continues to fight relatively unknown fighters like Karami, it will only further damage his reputation, appearance fees, and status. But if he's put to fight against truly top-tier boxers...
Well, Tyson knew very well that he was no match for those top monsters anymore!
Right now, it's not suitable for him to play against weak opponents, nor is it suitable for him to play against strong opponents, so what about playing against opponents who are neither strong nor weak?
They don't want to fight him either.
After all, Tyson's power still lingers! Apart from those hot-headed young people eager to show off, most of the other guys with some skill really don't dare to fight him.
All these factors combined have caused Tyson's income to plummet. This money-making monster, who earned hundreds of millions of dollars in his career, is now in dire financial straits due to his consistently poor financial management, extravagant lifestyle, unreliable agent, and the massive sums of money he has paid out in several lawsuits.
If Lin Tianji is correct, it should be in 2003 that Tyson, who owed banks more than $5000 million, filed for bankruptcy. After a large amount of his assets were sold off, he still owed banks more than $2000 million!
This momentum didn't finally subside until around 2020.
In short, after a little thought, Lin Tian understood Tyson's current predicament.
Lack of money, lack of opportunities, lack of exposure
Okay, it's almost missing everything!
Then, after calming down, the slight guilt I felt earlier disappeared.
Instead, there was excitement!
Extreme excitement!
This is a chance to face off against a top-level boxer!
Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn't help but breathe faster.
This exciting event caused Lin Tian's adrenaline to surge instantly; he couldn't wait any longer!
Then, the first thing Lin Tian did was to call Dana Bai.
"You bastard, you promised Tyson a $3000 million appearance fee?"
Yes, Lin Tian's first reaction was to feel sorry for him!
He does want to fight Tyson, but is it worth spending 3000 million to fight someone?
Why didn't Lin Tian choose to ambush Tyson on the streets of Los Angeles and then randomly pick a fight with him in the street?
The cleanup costs after the fight won't even be one-fifth of this amount!
"Are you kidding me, boss? Where am I going to give him 3000 million? Boss, have you forgotten that we only spent 200 million to buy this league? Am I crazy? I'm going to use 15 UFC fighters to fight one match."
"So how much did you give him?" At this point, Lin Tian was genuinely curious.
Because Dana White was right! This guy really doesn't have any money.
However, as Tyson, although he lacks opportunities and desperately needs money, he is not at the point where he would lower his value by dozens of times to fight a match for a fee of hundreds of thousands or millions.
After all, once some things drop, they can never go back up!
So normally, unless someone is truly starving and has nowhere else to turn, a guy of Tyson's caliber would rather cut back on his own spending than lower his status.
"Not a single point," Dana Bai said smugly. "Or rather, not a single point at this stage!"
"What I'm giving him is something more important: the opportunity to reinvent himself, to return to the public eye! The chance for everyone to see him as a reformed prodigal son, to become a new icon of the league, and to create a new history, to become a future icon and legend of a top-tier fighting league!"
"You think you can get him to box for free just by promising him a free meal?" Lin Tian said, disbelieving! Tyson is a veteran who's been in the business for decades. Even if he's down on his luck, he wouldn't just come to compete after eating a whole pie!
"I gave him shares!" Dana White said smugly. "Didn't you give me 5% of the shares? I gave him 1%, and I also promised him extra dividends and that he would become a UFC icon alongside you! Of course, there's also 45% of all the profits from this boxing match, and I'll also have someone design a completely new persona for him."
"It's the kind of story where a prodigal son turns over a new leaf, realizes his mistakes, and teaches young people not to follow in his footsteps."
"I also contacted AND1, and they're willing to contribute some money to organize this high-profile competition, because they're also preparing to enter the fighting game industry and release some fighting equipment!"
"And if he plays well in this fight, I've also promised Tyson I'll help him get in touch with AND1 and see if we can land some endorsement deals! He really needs that right now!"
"Besides these, there are some other benefits, but they don't cost much. Simply put, I gave him an opportunity—an opportunity to earn more money in the future without affecting his status."
"To put it simply, you've painted a huge pie in the sky for him." Lin Tian suddenly realized that this Dana White and Pelinka were really the same kind of people.
They are all exemplary and skilled at getting something for nothing with just their words!
People like that are indeed prone to success!
However, since Dana Bai was saving Lin Tian's money anyway, he naturally had no objection to it.
Next, Lin Tian had a good chat with Dana Bai about the time, place, and rules of the competition before starting his special training.
The rules of the match are exactly the same as those of a UFC title fight. There are a total of 5 rounds, each lasting 5 minutes, with a 1-minute break between rounds.
If no winner is determined within the round, the referee on the sidelines will score the points based on the scores of both sides to determine the winner!
The competition is scheduled for September 15th, exactly 20 days from now, and will be held at the MGM Garden Arena, one of the largest and most luxurious complexes in Las Vegas.
This arena can accommodate more than 20,000 boxing fans at the same time and is one of the most upscale venues in Las Vegas. Countless top boxing matches have been held here, including those featuring Ali, Mueller, Lewis, and Tyson, who all gave their blood and sweat here!
As for Lin Tian?
After understanding the situation and making a phone call to Pelinka, Bird, and others, Lin Tian quickly threw himself into training!
Dana Bai found three highly professional full-time trainers and sparring partners to train Lin Tian and provide him with targeted reinforcements!
After all, although Lin Tian had proven his strength in the Olympic Games, the environment of mixed martial arts is completely different!
This place supports any style of martial arts, whether you use fists, feet, elbows, knees, or throws, grapples, smashes, or grabs, it's all fine!
This is a place to test a fighter's all-around abilities; this is a place to verify your multifaceted qualities.
If there are any weaknesses or shortcomings, the opponent will inevitably seize the opportunity and lose the game!
Therefore, even though Lin Tian is facing Tyson this time, there are quite a few people in the public who are optimistic about him!
After all, no matter how good Tyson's boxing skills were or how beautiful his footwork was, he was still a complete novice in mixed martial arts, with no experience and no fights to his name.
His ground skills, throws, and leg techniques are definitely not that great!
As for Lin Tian
Well, actually Lin Tian has never shown his all-around fighting skills, so no one knows what level he is at or whether he can adapt to the UFC rules. But the problem is, he's young!
Young people have a strong ability to learn and progress quickly!
If both people are complete beginners with no experience, then someone like Lin Tian will definitely be more receptive to new things and more likely to absorb new skills!
Even so, there are only a few people who are optimistic about Lin Tian, while most people still believe that Tyson can win this crossover battle!
Judging from the initial support rates and odds given by Las Vegas, 68% of people favor Tyson to win the fight, while only 32% favor Lin Tian.
Looking at the odds... Tyson is 1 to 1.3, while Lin Tian is 1 to 3!
It was basically a crushing defeat, though it wasn't quite a complete one-sided affair.
Lin Tian completely ignored this situation and devoted all his energy to training! He had never trained so intensely, not even on the basketball court!
Aside from necessary rest, meals, and relaxation time, Lin Tianquan trains like crazy 24 hours a day! And the most telling proof of Lin Tianquan's life-risking training is the number of trainers!
At first, there were only 3 trainers training with Lin Tian, but in less than a week, the number of people training him reached 6!
The previous three couldn't hold on and sought help from Dana White.
This guy's training intensity is too high!
Time flew by, and Lin Tian, caught up in the frenzy of training, barely noticed the passage of time.
One day, after training ended, a coach suddenly came up to Lin Tian and said, "There will be no training for the next three days. You need to relax your muscles and find the most comfortable and best state. Our suggestion is that you rest for a day first, and then go to Las Vegas two days in advance."
"Scout out the location there, get a feel for it, and after a couple of days of rest, it'll be your ultimate fight with Tyson!"
"We're all rooting for you to win! I even bet $3 that you'll take the match. If you win, I'll make a fortune!"
"I won't let you lose." Lin Tian smiled and patted his coach, who had trained with him for almost 20 days, to express his gratitude. "So, what about you two now?"
"Vacation! Rest!" The guy immediately gave a wry smile. "The intensity of these past two weeks has been just too much. We all feel like we're going to be ruined! Lin, I have to say, you really are a genius! A genius we've never seen before!"
"I've never seen anyone like you. Your rate of progress, your speed of absorption, and your comprehension—seriously, I mean, are you really not considering switching to professional fighting? I think you're born for this!"
"Let's forget about it," Lin Tian said with a smile. "Playing basketball, I can earn 4 to 5000 million a year. Boxing? Okay, if I were at Tyson's level, wouldn't I earn tens of millions in one game?"
"Then all I can say is that I truly love basketball." Lin Tian shrugged, then suddenly seemed to remember something, walked to the drawer, took out a stack of checks, swiped them a few times, tore off one, and handed it to the coach: "This is a personal gift. Take the guys out and have some fun. I'm also very grateful for your contributions!"
"We've already received our paychecks," the coach said, quickly accepting the check and stuffing it into his pocket, while adding with a completely insincere politeness, "It's all part of our job! We shouldn't have taken this money under any circumstances!"
Tsk tsk tsk, look at that! Who says only Chinese hypocrisy exists?
American hypocrisy is on a whole new level!
Skip the part where they're being insincere and pushing each other around, and fast forward to the part where they stuff it into their pocket and shout, "This is the last time!"
It features a fast pace!
Worth learning from. (End of Chapter)
