Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 380 Lin Tian is provoked on the spot! A challenge is issued for the 03 All-Star Weekend.

The discussion surrounding this epic offensive battle is absolutely exaggerated!

Because it's not just fans, media, and TV personalities who make shows; even current NBA players are talking about it like crazy.

There were so many elements in this game, so many records were broken, and so many of the statistics made it feel like an NBA live game!

Terrifyingly strong!

When many players first heard those numbers, they even suspected it was an early April Fool's joke, and that the reporters were playing a prank on them!

There's no way around it, it's just too outrageous!

Who would have thought that these two teams could play so dramatically in a match!

At the same time, almost all NBA players shared a remarkably consistent attitude towards this game.

Amazing! Incredible! Admirable! Shocking! Congratulations and praise!

Almost no one would say that this is a pointless battle for points, nor would anyone say that they don't defend, or that they wouldn't do this against us.

There's no way around it, that's 180 points!

If it's 150 points, some players might even have something to brag about, but 180 points? Or both teams scoring 180 points?

forget it!

Even in the All-Star Game, there's no defense, and the players are the best and most skilled in the league. How many points can they score? How many times can they get that many points?

Strong is strong!

Speaking out and being stubborn at this time won't make you seem smart; it will only make you seem like an idiot!

This level of interest has remained high for a long time, because this match is such a classic.

At least from that day onward, until all the stars from the East and West began to gather in Philadelphia, the discussion about this game never stopped.

Not only did they not let it go, it escalated even further!

Just like how kids share the TV shows they watched at home the night before, and even mimic Ultraman's latest special moves to study each other's poses, it's like how children share what they watched at home the night before, and how they mimic Ultraman's latest special moves to study each other's moves.

When star players meet their friends, they can't wait to start discussing the game!

Do you think you can do it?

"I can't, what about you?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I can handle 50 points in a single game, but a team scoring 180 points in a single game? I'd suspect they're using cheat codes!"

"Hey, Alonzo, if you were here, you could totally crush them, right?"

"You go if you can, but don't take me with you! I think my last kidney will burst before I can kill them!"

"Kevin, what about you? You're fast and good at defense, supposedly able to guard positions 1 through 5. What do you think of yourself?"

"I can't defend against it. I don't have the stamina to play 48 minutes straight without rest."

"Rasheed, your team used to go toe-to-toe with Indiana in 300-point games. How does this game feel? If you were in their shoes, could you beat them?"

"What do you think? Why don't you go yourself?"

In short, discussions among all kinds of star players permeated the entire Philadelphia, and even the All-Star Game itself was forgotten by the stars and fans, who were still enthusiastically discussing this epic battle!

The intensity of this discussion directly resulted in the Rising Stars Challenge on the first day of All-Star Weekend falling far short of expectations in terms of competition quality, content, attention, and viewership.

The decline in viewership, in particular, made Stern quite unhappy!

This year's Rookie Challenge brings together the 01 rookies, hailed as the strongest generation of giants, and the weakest generation of the last 10 years for a head-to-head showdown!

Well, okay, there really isn't much to see.

Even so, Stern couldn't accept the drop in ratings.

In particular, a large part of the reason for the decline in viewership is that fans are now watching CBS, which no longer has a broadcasting partnership with the NBA!

CBS, which was unable to broadcast the NBA All-Star Game, surprisingly launched a debate program at this time.

The discussion revolves around the quality and tactical details of the game between the Mavericks and the Pacers.

The results of it?

This piece of crap got higher ratings than the Rising Stars Challenge!

Fans would rather watch a few retired players in suits and ties and guest commentators spouting nonsense than watch the Rising Stars Challenge!

Stern was seething with hatred! He was furious!

How did it veer off course like this? Wasn't this year's Rising Stars Challenge entertaining?

Okay, it really doesn't look good.

But whether it's good or not, you'll have to see it to know, right?

Without even glancing at them, they went to watch a bunch of bastards spouting nonsense and talking trash.

You're insane!

No!

We need to think of a solution!

Frustrated, Stern sat in his temporary office in Philadelphia, pondering how to make tomorrow's individual events more interesting and attract more attention from fans and the media.

Otherwise, if this continues, we might as well stop broadcasting the game tomorrow and just dedicate a special program to discussing it!

Stop fucking playing!

Let's postpone the All-Star Game!

Stern was thinking and cursing at the same time, but he couldn't curse the person who started this. They did their best to play a game that would go down in history, and they were wrong?

This also enhances the league's attractiveness and competitiveness!

and many more.

The instigator?

Upon realizing this, Stern slapped his thigh, picked up the phone, and made the call!

"Who is it?" Luckily, Lin Tian had come out to use the restroom, otherwise, with the huge sounds of dinosaurs splashing water and pants rubbing against pants constantly vibrating his eardrums, Lin Tian would definitely not have heard his phone ring.

But since it's such a coincidence that he's out, I might as well pick him up.

It's fate!

"I am David."

"Stockton? What, you're back in shape? Go ahead and come back, let's see if I can break him again!"

"FUXX! I am David S."

"David Thompson? Sorry, I'm not your fan. Even if you called me three years in advance to recruit me to the Nuggets, I would never agree."

"David! David S."

"David Beckham? I'm your wife's, no, I'm your fan."

"Lin, can you please let me finish what I have to say? I'm the eldest..."

"Your voice sounds so familiar! We must have met before! Don't tell me, let me guess again! I'm almost there!"

"David Fincher! It has to be you! We met on the set of Star Wars! Do you need me to have a cameo role? I'd like to play a smart and charismatic villain, like Tyler in Fight Club! Or a psychopathic killer, like..."

"Stern! I'm David Stern, you son of a bitch! Now are you going to listen to me?"

"Oh, Mr. President, I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy right now. How about we talk again when we meet the day after tomorrow?"

After hearing Lin Tian's words, Stern was certain that this bastard was messing with him!

The person who just had the leisure to guess names one by one and even prepared to design a unique character for themselves, is now saying they're busy?

What are you busy with? Are you really calling David Fincher?

You're kidding me!

"Lin, you damned bastard! Can't you even listen to me properly just once?" Stern found that every time he interacted with Lin Tian, ​​he would get so angry that he wanted to burst into flames on the spot.

But each time, he had no choice but to contact Lin Tian.

孽 孽!

After taking a few deep breaths, Stern spoke up again to Lin Tian, ​​saying, "Do me a favor."

"Is there any benefit?"

"Fuck you! Are you never going to stop?" Stern felt his bottom line being trampled on step by step! In this alliance, besides Lin Tian, ​​which other bastard would dare to talk to him like that?

"Alright, go ahead and tell me, but I can't help with anything too difficult."

"You're going to be a judge for the dunk contest tomorrow night!" Stern once again forcefully suppressed the urge to explode, saying, "You can't refuse me! You've refused me too many times already! This time you have to say yes!"

"Sure, I'll agree. It's no big deal! I thought you were going to drag me into a partnership with Las Vegas so I could throw games and deliberately lose. You scared me to death!"

"Lin! You're a professional player! There are some things you can't say! Not even as a joke, understand?"

"Are you going to let me be a judge or not?" Lin Tian interrupted Stern impatiently. He just didn't understand why the old man was getting more and more irritable.

In other words, Lin Tian cannot gain experience points from anyone other than NBA players. Otherwise, in the time it takes to make just one phone call, Stern could probably max out one of Lin Tian's skills!

"want!"

"Should I help you persuade a few more guys to be judges? Like Michael, Vince, or Kobe?"

"You can persuade them?" Stern was excited!

He had wanted to do this for two years! But no one would give him the time of day, so he had to settle for second best and bring in Wilkins, "Spud" Webber, and Larry Nance, who are no longer as popular as they used to be, to be judges.

But tonight, is Lin Tian going to put together the gathering he's been wanting to organize for a long time?

"Is there any benefit?" Lin Tian continued to test Stern's bottom line, making Stern's lips twitch.

Then Stern finally said, "If you can persuade these people, I'll give you a little preferential treatment in next year's schedule."

"How much is 'a little bit'?"

"If you keep spouting nonsense to me, I guarantee I'll take some action against you!"

"Okay, okay." Lin Tian waved his hand at the air and said, "I'll get back to you in thirty minutes."

After saying that, Lin Tian hung up the phone, stretched, and went back into the private room of the nightclub.

Inside this enormous private room, spanning hundreds of square meters, all sorts of unspeakable scenes are currently unfolding!

For example, the ever-sharp Alonzo Mourning is hugging a girl and laughing, Ben Wallace is also hugging a girl and laughing, All-Star rookie and the first-generation bearded Anthony Davis is howling and groaning at the girl in front of him, and the most cringe-worthy one is Paul Pierce humming to a girl.

The world is going to the dogs! So many people! These guys, they don't even try to hide it!

Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!

"You're finally back!" A girl with a Latin American flair immediately moved closer to Lin Tian, ​​her hand quickly reaching out with practiced ease, clearly the result of years of hard work!

"Wait a minute!" Lin Tian bit the girl's ear, then pushed her away and walked straight to Iverson, who was sitting to the side, saying, "Want to chat?"

Iverson, who was currently immersed in a sweet moment, immediately nodded, then patted the girl next to him to stop, and sat up straight himself: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Lin Tian scratched the back of his head and said, "I wasn't teasing you, I just forgot."

Yes, Lin Tian was serious. He had really forgotten that Iverson had missed two weeks of games this year due to injury, which was why he was not selected for the All-Star Game. He was only here because he was the host of Philadelphia.

"FUXX!" Iverson immediately gave me the middle finger. Was he trying to taunt me? If not, I'd cut off Little Iverson right here and use him as a cigar!

Lin Tian: First, what you have is at most cigarettes. Second, I really wasn't teasing you.

However, Lin Tian quickly stood up and sat down next to Kidd. He pulled Kidd aside and said, "Jason, want to talk?"

"Hmm?" Kidd was much wilder than Iverson; instead of pushing him away, he went even further! He looked at Lin Tian, ​​signaling him to continue.

"This might be Michael's last All-Star game this year." Well, what Lin Tian said was completely different from what Stern had planned! Because right now, he'd thought of something much more fun to do!

It's rare for me to be on the same team as Jordan again. If I don't make fun of him, what kind of human being am I?

This might be his last All-Star game, so we have to make him feel right at home!

"What's wrong?" Kidd's brain was not receiving enough blood, and he hadn't yet realized what Lin Tian meant.

"I want to give him an MVP award. How about we help him out and give him a decent and perfect ending?"

"No problem, no big deal! I can't get it anyway." Kidd nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Lin Tian patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to continue, then turned around and went to the group of cousins ​​Carter and McGrady: "Discuss one thing? No, two things."

"No problem." Carter gave the OK sign without hesitation. He never hesitated to agree to anything the team leader asked him to do.

"Stern asked us to do him a favor and be a judge in tomorrow's dunk contest." Although Carter said it was no problem, Lin Tian still said, "Give him some face?"

"OK!" Carter's answer was simple and direct.

"The second thing concerns both of you: I want to give Michael an MVP award!"

Carter readily agreed to Lin Tian's request, and McGrady, though he also agreed, couldn't help but say after Lin Tian left, "Vince, don't you want to be the team leader somewhere else?"

"I don't want to, it's pointless."

"You have unlimited shooting opportunities."

"I have it now too."

"You can make a lot of money."

"I earn a lot now."

"You can gain more popularity!"

"I'm second in popularity in the league!"

"Then what the hell are you playing basketball for?" McGrady rolled his eyes, feeling that his cheap older brother was a hopeless case.

"I'm super happy and comfortable right now because I'm happy! You have no idea how much fun I had in Indiana!"

Hopeless!

McGrady shook his head and decided not to say anything more to Carter.

It's easy to get hooked!

Getting carried away makes it easy to lose!

Next, Lin Tian walked around the entire VIP box, chatting casually with almost every player from the East Team, and then everyone reached a consensus.

Give Jordan a surprise!

Let his All-Star game end perfectly!

It has to be said that the reason they were able to succeed so easily this time is because of the current group of stars in the East. They are basically all from the new generation, and the only one who has a bit of a grudge against Jordan is Mourning.

If it's Miller, Barkley, Ewing and their gang of bastards, hehe, don't even think about it!

We're here to make Jordan look bad!

But tonight, the only seasoned veteran, Mo Ning, is a straightforward person who values ​​relationships. Upon hearing that Lin Tian was going to do good deeds, he put aside his grudges and expressed his support for Lin Tian to be the leader of this session without hesitation!

Finally, Lin Tiancai came to Jordan's side and said, "Michael, Stern wants us to be judges for the dunk contest tomorrow."

"What's it to me? I'm not going." Jordan refused without even thinking!

"Alright then, I'll tell him that Michael was worried he wasn't the best and most popular one, so he declined."

"What do you mean, 'best' or 'highest'? You'd better be clear!"

coming!

Jordan's signature move: reverse psychology!

Lin Tian grinned mischievously and continued, "The five judges for tomorrow are all the most popular and best dunkers in the history of the Slam Dunk Contest. Vince and I will both be there. When the five dunk champions are together, the fans will definitely give them a crazy cheer."

"When the time comes, whoever gets the most applause, the loudest applause, and the longest applause will all depend on their individual ability and popularity! If you're even slightly lacking, you might end up at the bottom tomorrow."

"You think I'm afraid of you?" Jordan snorted. "I'll participate! I'll go too! I'll show you what years of accumulated popularity really mean, and what it means to be the most popular player in the league!"

"See you tomorrow." Lin Tian nodded, walked out of the private room again, and took out his phone to call Kobe.

The situation went surprisingly smoothly, and Kobe agreed almost without hesitation!

Then Lin Tian scanned the entire arena and found that, whether it was the current players or the active ones, there didn't seem to be any other dunk champions.

Then let Stern worry about the last spot himself!

So Lin Tian called Stern, told him about his achievements, hung up the phone with satisfaction, and went back to the private room.

The Latin American girl had been waiting impatiently for a long time. As soon as she saw Lin Tian come in, she looked worried that he would run away and immediately clung to him, like an octopus, and began to show off her basic skills!

Unfortunately, Lin Tian took the initiative, picked up the girl, and turned to leave.

He needs to find a secluded place!

The following evening, the three-point contest was held first, and European shooter Peja defeated Ray Allen, Miller, Pierce and others to win his first three-point contest championship!

Then comes the dunk contest!

The fans at the scene weren't actually very interested in the dunk contest.

To be honest, this year's slam dunk contest lineup is already quite good!

There are a new generation of high-flying players from Michigan, including Jason Richardson, who performed exceptionally well in his rookie year; Desmed Monsen, last year's Slam Dunk Contest champion; Steve Francis, the Rockets' star guard; and Gerald Wallace, the Knicks' rookie!

To be honest, these four players include a promising rookie, an All-Star starter, and a defending Slam Dunk Contest champion. Among them, only Wallace is of a lower caliber and not worth mentioning. The other three are all star players or key players being developed by their respective teams.

But for fans, their appetites have been spoiled by the spectacular performances of the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest! This year's Slam Dunk Contest is somewhat bland and unappealing!

But when the judges' platform was set up on the field and the MC quickly began introducing the judges for the night, the fans finally got excited!

First place goes to Kobe Bryant, the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest champion!

The second place goes to Lin Tian, ​​the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest champion!

The third greatest runner-up in history: Vince Carter, the 2000 dunk contest runner-up!

The fourth is hailed as the greatest of all time, a superstar who has given people countless classics: Michael Jordan!

The fifth person, completely different from the previous four, is Charles Barkley, who has become as fat as a ball! I don't know why he squeezed into this area!

"Charles, why aren't you doing the live stream? Aren't you afraid of getting your salary docked?" Lin Tian asked Barkley across Jordan.

"Our job has always been simply to appear on camera. The important thing is not to slack off and to promote the TV station itself. As for what role we play on camera or what we do there, that's completely unimportant!"

"Your job must be quite lucrative!"

"What's so easy to make money from? Sigh, let me tell you, I've been under a lot of pressure lately too."

"Fuck you! Can't you two see me? Why can't you just say what you want to say? Why are you acting all mysterious and talking through me? Or am I not allowed to listen to what you're saying?"

"It's not your turn yet, Michael," Lin Tian said with a smile, patting Jordan on the shoulder. "How about a bet? We'll bet on who'll be the champion tonight?"

"No betting! I'm not stupid, I'm not betting with you!" Jordan shook his head quickly!

Gambling is his favorite pastime, but giving away money is not!

"Didn't you bet with me before the season started? Were you an idiot back then? Hey, don't be a coward! We can all join in! Five people predicting together, right?"

"Of course not." Javi, the veteran NBA referee who had been standing in front of the table, looked at Lin Tian and the others as if they were monsters. "Shut your mouths! Whether you're joking or serious, this is a damn scoring competition!"

"With you guys scoring and making bets, how can we expect a decent result in tonight's dunk contest? It'll definitely be unfair!"

"If this segment airs, the entire league will face a serious public relations crisis!"

"So who do you think will win?" Lin Tian rubbed his head and asked Jia Wei, "We can take you with us."

"I think Mason has a chance to defend his title. Pshaw! I'm not guessing. Who wants to get involved in your game?" Javi spat, then left with a look of disgust.

This is too dangerous. Stay away from these five bastards, or things will get complicated later.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Jordan ignored Lin Tian and looked at Kobe.

Kobe has been staring at Jordan ever since he sat down here.

"Do you dare to challenge me to a one-on-one match at the All-Star Game tomorrow night?" Although Kobe is almost 22 years old, and although Kobe once scored 50+ points and beat Jordan in a single game last month, every time he sees Jordan, he looks exactly the same as when he first met Jordan 6 years ago.

It's as if he's never grown up!

But regardless of whether Kobe has grown up or not, Jordan felt he hadn't aged at all because of Kobe's challenge. He gave a rare, maternal smile and said, "Okay, we'll see! You really think you can beat me every time just because you beat me once the other day?"

"From now on, every single time, I will fight you with all my might! Every single time! I will never miss even one chance to face you again." Kobe's eyes even welled up with tears as he said this, looking like he could cry at any moment: "The opportunities are running out!"

"No, stop acting like Michael's dying! He's just old, not dead. Save those words for when he gets hit by a car and becomes a vegetable, gets cancer and doesn't have long to live, or is already buried."

Lin Tian curled his lip, interrupting Kobe's unnecessary emotional outburst.

"By the way, what have you been busy with lately?" Lin Tian leaned back in his chair, quite casually. Anyway, they weren't the main characters tonight; they were just five top-tier accessories, purely there to support Stern.

Besides, the camera won't be focused on them for a while; it's all on Richardson and the others who are warming up.

If we don't chat for a bit, what are we doing?

"I'm practicing my back-to-the-basket move! I've been watching a lot of Michael's game tapes from his last two years, and I'm going to learn something and then use this move to blow Michael away!" Kobe chuckled, shaking his shoulders as he spoke.

"Why don't you just ask him to teach you?" Lin Tian stepped back, indicating that the two of you could talk directly.

"I won't teach!"

"I'm not going to learn it, I'm going to steal it and beat him up!"

Well, those two are just being arrogant!

Lin Tianyi shrugged and said, "Then you can find someone else to learn from. Find someone who's better at back-to-the-basket fighting than Michael, wouldn't it be easier to beat him?"

"Nonsense, who can post up better than me?" Jordan said, as if to say, "Come on, name a few names and I'll hear it."

"Shaquille O'Neal!"

"FUXX, are you crazy?" Jordan reacted as if he'd heard a joke. This guy was just trying to pick a fight, wasn't he?

To Jordan's surprise, Kobe was stroking his chin, looking like he was really going to ask Shaq for a lesson.

After a few people chatted idly, the MC finished his pre-game introductions and warmed up the crowd, and then led the four players participating in the dunk contest onto the court, letting them start their performances one by one!

The first player to take the court is Gerald Wallace, who will be known as the "real-life Sakuragi" in a few years. He was drafted by New York last summer, but apart from his top-notch physical attributes, he has hardly had any playing time.

Perhaps because he hadn't had much playing time and hadn't experienced many big games, Wallace was clearly nervous. Several of his dunk attempts ended in failure, and he only managed to score the lowest possible score of 30 points, essentially eliminating him from the competition.

Next up for the dunks were Francis, who had competed with Lin Tian and Carter for the Slam Dunk Contest title, along with Michigan's high-flying Richardson, and the defending champion Mason, who took turns dunking.

This year's Slam Dunk Contest actually had a lot of hype, with Francis, who participated in the Game of the Century, Mason, who won the championship, Richardson, who swept almost all slam dunk contests outside the NBA, and Wallace, who had explosive athleticism.

The NBA's official pre-game slogan was "Reclaim the Peak, Return to 2000!"

This slogan shows just how much anticipation the dunk contest is from officials, the media, fans, and players alike!

But when the dunking actually started, whether it was because the five judges were too high-profile or the players had gone too far in Philadelphia, in any case, once the dunking started, everyone realized that this year's dunk contest was just so-so!

Apart from Richardson's outstanding performance, whose several between-the-legs and alley-oop spins were indeed powerful and beautiful, earning him 50 points, the other players were really unremarkable, with mediocre dunks.

Ultimately, Richardson gave the impression that he won the championship effortlessly and without any suspense, without even breaking a sweat.

So easy!

The fans who were easily present were dissatisfied. They shouted and demanded that Richardson make a few more spectacular dunks!

This guy clearly has several powerful moves he hasn't used yet!

As the fans cheered wildly, Richardson smiled broadly.

I'm so happy!

When you're extremely happy, it's easy to get carried away and lose control, and you might think about provoking others.

When he received the Slam Dunk Contest trophy and began his victory speech, he started with a bunch of empty words like "thank you," "grateful," and "honored," which made the fans in the audience want to yawn.

Then, he abruptly changed the subject and looked directly at the referee's table.

"I know everyone wants to see me come back next year! I can also tell you that I didn't even go all out. I still have several amazing moves that will drive everyone crazy that I haven't shown yet."

"If you want to see, I can come back next year! No problem at all! I have absolute confidence, I have countless moves, and I believe I am the best dunker in this league! I believe I can win the dunk contest no matter who I face!"

As Richardson spoke, his eyes were fixed on Carter, Kobe, Jordan, Lin Tian, ​​and Buck on the referee's bench.

Well, he didn't look at Barkley, he just glanced at him casually.

"But what I have to say is that this year's opponents were very boring. They didn't pose any obstacles for me or put any pressure on me. If next year's opponents are still at this level, then I won't participate."

"If you want me to come back next year, then you have to give me at least one opponent who's no less formidable than the 2000 'Battle of the Century'! To win, I need to beat the strongest; that's what makes it meaningful!"

"Otherwise, there's nothing to be proud of in defending a title."

Wow! You've got guts, kid!

That includes Kobe, Jordan, Lin Tian, ​​Carter, and many others!

Daring to provoke so many people? Aren't you afraid of being shoved to death?

Richardson: Don't be afraid! We're last in the West, are we afraid of them targeting us? What a load of rubbish! Let's get our attention and popularity going first!

The scene, which had been chaotic just moments before, immediately quieted down. The lighting technician was quite the entertainer, shining a huge incandescent light directly onto the judges' table, illuminating Lin Tian and the others.

The MC also stopped talking and looked over here, waiting for the people here to speak.

Will you agree?

Will they accept the challenge?

The fans at the scene were incredibly excited, just waiting for the referees in the referee area to speak.

Logically, the best course of action at this point would be for Barkley, an unrelated party, to stand up and make a fool of himself by saying "See you next season" to Richardson, and the whole thing would be perfectly resolved immediately.

Unfortunately, Barkley had the brains and the ability, but he just sat there with a silly grin on his face.

Motionless!

Who doesn't want to watch the excitement?

Sir Charles's favorite pastime is watching a spectacle!

If we stand up and cause trouble at this moment, giving Lin Tian and the others a way out, Sir Charles won't be able to sleep!

As for Jordan? If Jordan were 10 years younger, he might stand up right now and say, "No need to wait until next year, let's do it now."

But for now, let's just watch the show.

He and Barkley quickly joined forces.

As for Kobe?

This guy is just reckless and competitive, but he's not stupid at all. He knows very well that he's just a supporting character right now.

They want to fight the strongest! But who is the strongest?

Lin Tian and Carter!

So Kobe didn't say anything!

As for Carter? He has always followed Lin Tianma's lead.

If Lin Tian says he'll do it, he'll do it. If Lin Tian says he won't do it, he'll definitely wave his hand and say he's too old to do it anymore.

As a result, all the pressure fell on Lin Tian.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Lin Tian still didn't react at all. He just sat there, completely motionless except for his hands, which were hidden under the table and he didn't know what they were doing.

10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds.

Just as Richardson was getting tired of posing, and Barkley was wondering if Lin Tian had fallen asleep, he was about to stand up to give Lin Tian an out when Lin Tian suddenly grinned, stood up, and said, "See you next year!"

"I'm announcing in advance that I will participate in the 2003 All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest! I hope some people won't back out at the last minute and be too scared to participate!"

"Me too!" Carter stood up without hesitation when he saw his older brother's statement! (End of Chapter)
