Chapter 1: You can do anything, but you shouldn’t play basketball!
In September 1995, Chicago, known as the Windy City, was no longer too warm. The temperature of about 9 degrees was definitely not the most suitable and comfortable temperature.
But at this time, the entire city of Chicago was in chaos, with excited and cheering people everywhere and people who spontaneously took to the streets to parade and revel.
Of course, it’s not about Black Lives Matter or buying for 0 yuan. Today, the whole city is really excited.
Because just a few hours ago, the Chicago Bulls held the league's annual media day for the new season. It is said to be a media day, but in fact it means that every team in the league has gone through the baptism and reorganization of the entire offseason. The first full appearance of the season! The reason why Chicago fans are so crazy and excited is because their god, the city's hero and idol, the famous Michael Jordan said something on media day.
"This year, we are the champions!"
Yes, just such a sentence is enough to make the whole city go crazy! Although, at the end of the regular season last season, Jordan had returned to the Bulls after saying the famous "I'm back!" and led the team to a 13-4 record in the regular season. The record was eye-catching, but in the playoffs, Jordan, who had been away for a long time, failed to withstand the young 'Shark' and 'Penny', and was kicked out by the Magic with a score of 4:2.
Although the Bulls lost, everyone can see that neither the Bulls nor Jordan were in the best condition last season, especially Jordan. After two years of extremely failed baseball career, he was at best last season. It shows a level of less than 70%.
As the number one paranoid in NBA history, less than 10 days after being kicked out of the playoffs by the Magic, Jordan had already ended his vacation and started crazy training! The results of his training can only be seen from the perfect muscle lines, energetic and extremely confident state he showed on the media day... The God of Basketball is back! Because of this, when he directly and arrogantly challenged the entire league on media day and said the words "We are the champions," no one thought he was arrogant or arrogant. All Chicagoans only thought he was crazy. ! It’s been 2 years!Does anyone know how we Chicagoans have been spending the past two years? We have to endure Pippen as a leader, although he is very strong, but that's all. We have to have our butts kicked continuously in the playoffs by New York, Miami, Charlotte, Orlando, Indiana, Phoenix, and San Antonio. Well, Chicago has been laughed at by almost the entire league in the past two years!
There is no way, Jordan's enemies are all over the league.
But now, a 100% Jordan is back!
All of this makes the team so perfect and makes everyone on the team so pleasing to the eye! Jackson's foxy grin, Rodman's mischievous look, and Pippen's bitter face.
Including the Asian rookie who is as frail as a pretty boy and is more suitable for filming movies than playing basketball, they all look so lovable! Yes, there is another Asian rookie in this year's Bulls team who looks like a pretty boy!
His name is Lin Tian, a 22-year-old Chinese native. He is a player selected by the Bulls with the 52nd overall pick in the second round this year.
Lin Tian graduated from the NCAA Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. As one of the eight top Ivy League schools, the University of Pennsylvania's Psychology Department is world-renowned. It is the first institution of higher learning in the world to establish a psychology department. At the same time, Lin Tian is taking the exam. When I entered the University of Pennsylvania, a top major, I received a full scholarship! In addition, Lin Tian has a perfect face full of oriental characteristics that can make countless girls unable to take their eyes away after just one glance, coupled with a perfect figure of 191 cm tall, 205 cm wingspan, and 33 cm.
Of course, Lin Tian, who came to the United States to study in junior high school, naturally has a pretty good family background. In this era, ordinary people cannot afford the sky-high fees for studying in the United States.
His parents were the first people in China to go into business. With a good background and excellent vision, the Lin family had already accumulated eight-digit assets in the early 90s!From every aspect, Lin Tian is a young talent. His family background, knowledge, appearance, ability and figure are all the same! But for such a person, normally he would either shine in the field of psychology after graduation, or return to his hometown to inherit the family business, but Lin Tian chose the path of playing basketball!
This is just like Schwarzenegger decided to take a break from acting to pursue politics, and O'Neal changed his career to teach children how to shoot free throws and 3-pointers.
In particular, the University of Pennsylvania is completely different from the Pennsylvania State University next door. The University of Pennsylvania is a strong academic school and has produced countless celebrities in politics and business. However, in sports, it is so bad that you can't even see it.
But Penn State University is a powerhouse in the NCAA. Not only does it dominate the Big Ten Conference, it is also the alma mater of many NBA players! All I can say is that Lin Tian, Penn State, and the NBA are completely irrelevant!
But Lin Tian has only one attitude towards these doubts and denials: I am willing!I like it!You can't control it!
For four years in college, at the University of Pennsylvania, a school that had no basketball scholarships and paid no attention to basketball, Lin Tian worked hard and trained like crazy. During his four years on the team, he broke various records in this basketball desert school and set the best record in team history. ! In his senior year, Lin Tian led a group of teammates to enter March Madness for the first time in school history. Although he was easily defeated by UCLA in the first round with an exaggerated score of 77:40, Entering March Madness is enough for Lin Tian’s name to remain in the history of the University of Pennsylvania forever!
At least from some perspectives, Lin Tian is already a 'well-known alumnus' like Buffett, Franklin and others!
In his senior year, Lin Tian also averaged points, assists, rebounds, and steals per game. Although this data looks like a lottery, Lin Tian is at Penn after all. This kind of data is produced in this basketball desert.
In the eyes of those scouts and NBA management, his data is compared to Damon Stoudamire, the 'Little Flying Squirrel' from Arizona, who is known as the strongest guard this year, averaging 22 points, 7 assists and 1 steal per game. That's a huge difference!
This fully shows that the similar data, effects and influence played by different teams facing different opponents are completely different! This is why Stoudemire was the 7th pick in the first round, and Lin Tian tried his best to be selected by the Bulls with the 52nd pick in the second round, barely making it to the NBA!
As for why Lin Tian doesn't want to be a doctor or a promising career like a second-generation rich man, but insists on playing in the NBA, the reason is very simple -
This is Lin Tian's second life!
He came from time travel!
As a time-travelling person, Lin Tian has a problem, but his problem makes him very helpless.
