Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 14 If you're wrong, admit it; getting beaten up is... impossible!

Of course, if they knew that the fight lasted less than two minutes in total, was one against three, and that all three of the beaten men ended up in the hospital, they would definitely not think that way.

But no matter what, the name Lin Tian has already left its first impression on many people in the league.

The next morning, Lin Tian acted as if nothing had happened, still driving his noisy Corvette to the training hall to prepare for today's training.

However, this time, as soon as he got off the car, he ran into Phil Jackson, who happened to be passing by as well.

"Good morning, Coach." Upon seeing the head coach, Lin Tian restrained himself slightly and became remarkably obedient.

"Just call me Phil, like them." Jackson looked at Lin Tian with a sly smile, his foxy expression making Lin Tian shudder.

This old man really looks like he's full of bad intentions!

"Lin, this seems to be our first face-to-face conversation?" Jackson continued, "You really made quite a scene yesterday."

"I hope this won't cause too much trouble for anyone. I will accept all punishment without any complaints." Lin Tian was serious about this. In this world, you have to admit your mistakes and accept punishment without hesitation...

Forget it, unless Tyson comes, Lin Tian is unlikely to get beaten up.

"Aren't you afraid the team will trade you, you troublemaker and troublemaker?"

Jackson looked at Lin Tian's attitude and suddenly felt very curious.

Did this kid never even consider that the team would trade him?

"If the team were to trade me, I don't think it would be you who came to talk to me personally. So I believe it must have been you who spoke up for me last night, Coach, that's why I stayed. I promise I will play well in the future!" Lin Tian looked at Jackson sincerely.

"It's good that you know how to work hard. We had a meeting last night until almost midnight to try and get you to stay!" Jackson narrowed his eyes, not denying Lin Tian's part about him speaking well of him, but using an ambiguous description.

Jackson still hoped that Lin Tian would feel some gratitude towards him, because that would make the team easier to manage!

Looking into Lin Tian's eyes, he felt inexplicably guilty and shook his head, saying, "Talking to you psychology students is so boring, there are no secrets at all. But let me make this clear: you may stay, but you won't escape any of the punishments you deserve."

"I promise to do it."

"The first thing is that you have to apologize." Jackson looked at Lin Tian, ​​and once again felt inexplicably seen through by Lin Tian's evasive answer. He quickly continued, "Don't worry, it's not about apologizing to those three guys who got beaten up. If all goes well, you won't see them in Chicago again."

"Krause will trade them before the season starts. You need to apologize to Steve for taking his clothes. Do you know that last night he waited on the court for a full 40 minutes in his soaking wet practice clothes before his family finally brought him some?"

"I will apologize to Steve." Lin Tian was genuinely a little embarrassed this time.

"I remember that was Harry's locker. I had absolutely no intention of embarrassing Steve."

"Harry's locker was to Steve's right, but that doesn't matter anymore, it's empty now." Jackson shrugged, then continued, "A $10,000 fine and a three-game suspension, is that alright?"

"No problem, I accept it." This punishment was much less severe than Lin Tian had imagined. He had originally thought he would be suspended for at least ten games!

After all, he showed no mercy yesterday.

Aside from deliberately avoiding vital areas such as the back of the head, chin, and throat, every punch was delivered with full force, aimed entirely at killing the target!

Either don't make a move at all, or if you do, make your opponent fear you for the rest of their life!

This is Lin Tian's basic principle in fighting!

After confirming that he would not be traded, Lin Tian's mindset was completely different when he walked back into the locker room.

Besides his increased confidence, his teammates' expressions towards him were also noticeably different.

Besides Kukoc and Wennington, the other players on the team also started greeting Lin Tian!

Lin Tian's teammates are much nicer to him than before!

Besides the fact that Lin Tian is really good at fighting and no one dares to mess with him anymore, it's also because everyone has realized that Lin Tian won't leave the team because of this incident. On the contrary, the three guys who got beaten up will have to find new teams.

This means that Lin Tian's position on the team is very secure! And he will most likely get a lot of playing time in the future. Even if he doesn't get much playing time, he is guaranteed to be the number one bodyguard and enforcer for the big shots. In the NBA of the 8s and 90s, almost every team had a few of these villainous players who were good at fighting and were also good at playing basketball.

In places like New York and Detroit, where gangsters congregate, 80% of the team members are like that!

And no matter where you are, players who are always ready to stand up for their teammates and are always at the forefront of any fight are highly respected!

Although no one said it outright, everyone knew that Lin Tian's status had suddenly risen to the level of a main player, below the Iron Triangle, and on par with players like Langley and Harper!

The future is limitless!

In the days that followed at the training camp, more and more people started hanging out with Lin Tian and playing together. Lin Tian was also very adept at integrating into the group! Naturally, he became more and more popular with everyone.

As for those three unlucky guys who got beaten up, they never appeared in the locker room again. Their lockers were cleaned and tidied up by the team staff! Throughout the Bulls, those three were as if they had never existed, completely forgotten by everyone.

For Lin Tian, ​​everything is getting better and more comfortable, and he is enjoying it more and more!

The only thing that hasn't changed is Jordan's attitude towards Lin Tian. As if to prove to Rodman that he wasn't afraid of Lin Tian, ​​Jordan still relentlessly targeted Lin Tian during training, repeatedly guarding him and hitting him with elbow after elbow. He was still fierce and showed no mercy!

In the blink of an eye, the one-month training camp has officially ended. Lin Tian has also made great progress during this month. In addition to becoming better at using his talent and characteristics to play the game, Lin Tian's teamwork with his teammates has also become better and better. His various abilities have also made great progress during the training camp!

The night before training camp ended and the Bulls were about to begin their preseason journey, Lin Tian lay alone in his room, opened his system, and wanted to check his current attributes!
