"Lin! You deserve all the praise. I'll be forever grateful and happy that I successfully recruited you to Indiana!" Bird hugged Lin Tian tightly, then handed him the basketball for the game: "Here you go!"
"It's like I'll feel the pain and resentment for the rest of my life because I didn't recruit you back then, even though we showed our utmost sincerity." Magic Johnson followed up, displaying his usual graciousness: "Beautiful dunk, beautiful block, congratulations!"
Then West walked over, and 'LOGO MAN' patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, saying, "I never regret anything I've done, but now, I really regret not having pulled some more strings back then and recruited you into my ranks at all costs!"
"But maybe next time? Your contract will expire eventually, right?"
"You two bastards." Bird couldn't take it anymore.
What's going on here? I'm still breathing! Can't you see that?
"Get the hell out of here! If any of you say another word to Lindo, I'm reporting you to the league for illegally recruiting players still under contract!"
"You can't keep Larry, just like you can never keep your high school sweetheart! Lin is destined to leave." The Magician laughed. "The doors of Los Angeles will always be open for him!"
"Get lost!" Bird rolled his eyes, then turned around, put his arm around Lin Tian, and left.
Cherish life, stay away from Los Angeles jerks!
On the other side, Kobe was still sitting on the floor, silent and motionless, blaming himself incessantly.
If he hadn't missed the free throw, the team would still be in overtime! If he hadn't missed Lin Tian, the team would definitely have already won the championship trophy!
It's all my fault!
Just like in the series against the Jazz 5 years ago, he shot 4 consecutive airballs.
It's all my fault!
What interrupted Kobe's self-blame was Jackson's hand and smile.
"Phil, I've let you down."
"No, not at all! I'm not disappointed at all," Jackson said with a smile. "On the contrary, I'm proud of you, Kobe! I still won't take back what I said; you're still the best shooting guard I've ever coached!"
"Am I really better than Michael?" The recent defeat made Kobe lose confidence for the first time in his life.
"Okay, I admit, you're not as good as Michael right now. You missed free throws, you left your man open—Michael wouldn't make those mistakes," Jackson shrugged. "But I have to say, Michael has made countless mistakes too, he's experienced failure time and time again!"
"He only made it to the Finals for the first time in his seventh year in the league, and you? You're only in your fifth year! In some ways, you're already better than him at the same stage!"
"So, losing isn't scary. What's scary is lying on the ground after losing and not getting up, getting stuck in the defeat and unable to move on! That's the scariest thing."
"Finally, Kobe, I won't take back what I said. You're definitely not as good as Michael right now, and you're inferior to him in many ways, but I believe you will become the best shooting guard I've ever coached!"
"You can definitely do it!"
"I understand, Phil!" Hearing Jackson's words, Kobe quickly stood up and looked at Jackson, saying, "So, in many ways, he's worse than Michael. Specifically, in what ways?"
Kobe's rapid emotional shift surprised even Jackson, who even wondered if the bastard had been faking his discomfort.
Then, Jackson patted Kobe on the shoulder: "No need to rush, we have plenty of time and opportunities! Now, go and show some class."
"Go congratulate Lin, congratulate Reggie, congratulate everyone on the Pacers! They won fair and square; we just weren't good enough."
"I see!"
Watching Kobe walk straight toward Lin Tian, Jackson sighed, then quickly turned around and walked toward O'Neal, who was also somewhat dazed.
And this big guy still needs some guidance!
Everyone else's season is over, but Jackson's season has just begun!
Next season, he wants to make his team even stronger!
He wouldn't be willing to lose to the same team for two consecutive years!
He's going to fight back!
I am the greatest coach in the NBA!
Jackson was busy giving the players psychological support one by one, aiming to restore their confidence while also ensuring they continued to train hard throughout the summer.
Meanwhile, Carlisle couldn't do anything. He was pinned to the floor by the Pacers players, and a dozen bottles of champagne, several buckets of drinks, and several buckets of ice were poured over him in turn. Carlisle was already soaked to the bone, but he was still smiling!
Leading a team to a championship in its first year as head coach! That's an incredible achievement! Looking at the entire history of NBA games...
Okay, right now, Bird, who's pouring a bucket of ice over his head, also won the championship in his first year leading his team.
But I'm awesome too!
The players celebrated wildly until a large number of fans left the arena, all the Lakers players left the court, and league staff quickly set up a temporary podium.
With a beaming smile, Stern stood on the podium, microphone in hand, looking at the Pacers players.
Yeah, I watched for about two minutes, and then these bastards, whether on purpose or they really didn't see it, none of them came over.
What could Stern do? He was desperate too.
He's not a madam soliciting customers at the entrance of an entertainment venue; he can't wave the Larry O'Brien Trophy and shout, "The awards ceremony is here! Come on, everyone!"
He could only glare at a league official beside him, who reacted quickly, running into the Pacers' crowd and shouting, "The awards ceremony is ready! The trophies are ready!"
He shouted several times before Lin Tian and the others finally reluctantly let go of Bird, who had just been pinned to the floor, and walked towards Stern.
We've been through award ceremonies a few times already, and we're already going to win the championship anyway, so nothing beats the fun of Bird!
Stern: Case solved! The Pacers were deliberately pretending not to see it.
Bird: It's not just that it was intentional, I shouted the award announcement until my throat was hoarse, and they all acted like they didn't see it!
What Bird found most unbearable was that while the Pacers were celebrating their championship, what the hell was Magic Johnson doing there?
Just now, that old bastard, with a ferocious expression, smashed an ice cube on my head!
Magic Johnson: We lost, and I need to vent! But I can't find a woman to vent to right now! What am I supposed to do?
Unfortunately, Magic Johnson, as expected of the greatest point guard in history, also had the best court vision in the league. He ran away as soon as Stern sent league officials to urge him, giving Bird no chance to get revenge.
"Haha, it's that most exciting moment of the year again! The final suspense is about to be revealed! Who will be this year's Finals MVP? Who will be the first to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy for Indiana?" Barkley was actually pretending to create suspense!
"You're being really stupid, Charles."
Kenny resisted the urge to say it aloud. Considering this was his last day at work this season, Kenny decided to play along with Barkley for once!
"The suspense this year is, well, quite a lot. Even though Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal went to the bench early tonight, he still racked up a massive double-double of 31 points, 21 rebounds, and 3 blocks! And in this series, O'Neal is averaging 34.1 points, 17.1 rebounds, and 4 blocks per game!"
"These stats would absolutely qualify him for a Finals MVP award in any year! Even if he lost, he would still be a strong contender!"
「另外，虽然今晚科比投丢了关键罚球，但他今晚也拿下了全队最高的38分13篮板7助攻的漂亮数据！本轮系列赛科比场均拿下27.6分7篮板6.4助攻2.4抢断和1.1盖帽！」
"While his scoring may not be as high as O'Neal's, his all-around game and his contributions on both ends of the court are absolutely undeniable!"
"Especially in the first five games of the series, Kobe completely shut down the Pacers' second-leading scorer, Carter, preventing him from scoring in double digits in four of the five games, a feat he had averaged over 20 points per game in the regular season and the first three rounds of the playoffs. His stats were reduced by almost half!"
"His defense on Carter was definitely one of the most important reasons why the Lakers were able to lead after the first five games!"
「而步行者这边，克里斯·韦伯接过卡特火力不足的枪，今晚拿下17分13篮板4助攻的漂亮数据，他本轮系列赛场均17.1分10篮板4.1助攻的数据也算亮眼！他在内线的策应、强攻、传球和」
At this point in Kenny's story, Barkley finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He clutched his stomach and burst into laughter, "Sorry, Kenny, sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted you, but you were really being stupid! Hahaha, sorry, I wanted to play along, but I really can't keep up the act!"
「这轮系列赛的FMVP根本没有任何值得讨论的地方不是幺？除了林，还有谁能配得上这个荣誉？今晚他轰下43分14篮板9助攻4抢断4盖帽的完美数据！其中还包括最后时刻一攻一防的终极绝杀和绝命血帽！」
"In addition, Lin sealed the victory against the Lakers in the first game, and in the fourth game, he went head-to-head with the OK duo, scoring a whopping 60 points, including 12 consecutive points in the final quarter! The sixth game was the only one where Lin wasn't the team's leading scorer, but he still managed a near triple-double with 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists!"
「这幺说吧，步行者获胜的4场比赛，有3.9场都是靠林的爆发和恐怖的实力拿下的！这轮系列赛林场均轰下40.7分10.7篮板9.3助攻3.1抢断1.6盖帽的数据，然后你在这和我分析谁是FMVP？」
"Hahaha, sorry Kenny, I know you're doing this for the sake of the show and to create suspense, but you're just being really stupid!"
FUXX!
That fatso!
He's dead! He's absolutely dead!
I'll definitely kill him! FUXX! Next season, even if he says something like all Jews are stupid bastards and vampires, I absolutely won't cover for him, and I won't tolerate him anymore!
That bastard deserves to go to hell!
Get banned! Get banned by the entire commentary community, you bastard!
Filled with Kenny's deep resentment, Stern's speech was drawing to a close. Smiling, he addressed the dwindling crowd of fans, "Now, let's invite the Indiana Pacers players to raise the Larry O'Brien Trophy!"
"Now, let's reveal the last suspense of the season: who will win the Finals MVP award?"
"Forest!"
Amidst a sparse chorus of boos and applause, Stern announced the predictable result. Lin Tian accepted the trophy, raised it, then took the microphone and said to the camera, "Having won too many championships, there's not much more to say."
"Well, if I had to say, I hope we can win a championship at home next year, so that Indiana fans can celebrate with the team!"
"Lifting the trophy for a three-peat on home soil would be a truly celebratory and joyful occasion! So, see you next year?"
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he looked at Stern with a smile and handed him the microphone.
His meaning couldn't be simpler.
Hurry up, bro! We're waiting to celebrate after get off work!
"So, this year's NBA season has come to a perfect end!"
Stern didn't waste any more words. After saying his last sentence into the microphone, he waved to indicate that the live stream could end.
Of course, Stern can now go home; his work is done. On the other hand, the Pacers players can't celebrate yet.
They still have to attend press conferences and give interviews; only then do they have time to themselves!
Before leaving, Stern hugged every member of the Pacers team and congratulated them. When he got to Lin Tian, Stern asked, "How was your time in Indiana, Lin?"
"It's wonderful, it feels right at home here. Are you planning a trip, David? I can show you around Indiana; there's something here."
"I don't want to learn about Indiana's customs and culture." Stern sighed, interrupting Lin Tian. That little fox, he's always so annoying!
"What I'm trying to say is, if you'd like a change of scenery, I'd be happy to give you some advice on a new team."
Stern's statement is completely against the rules! It's even a fundamental error! As the league commissioner, if this gets out, his resignation would be the least of his worries! The reputation of the entire NBA could be severely damaged.
But how should I put it?
Stern really couldn't help himself.
Because the viewership ratings for this year's finals did not reach the heights he had envisioned!
Well, it's not exactly low. The seven-game Finals averaged over 21 million viewers in North America, with Games 6 and 7 drawing 31 million and 33 million viewers respectively!
Both games boast viewership ratings that are among the top three in NBA history! In terms of total viewership, this Finals is undoubtedly the most-watched Finals ever! And that doesn't even include global viewership!
But Stern just felt it wasn't enough! He felt it was a bit too ordinary!
In particular, before the series began, Stern had been fantasizing about an average viewership of over 3000 million and a peak viewership of over 4500 million, thanks to the massive pre-match hype that touted the NBA's greatest matchup, the most exciting Finals in history, and the most closely contested battle in history.
But the result?
The difference is too great!
The reason why they broke the record but didn't reach the heights Stern envisioned is actually just one thing.
Indiana is too small!
What if it were New York versus Los Angeles?
What if teams like Chicago or Boston, with higher market value, larger market size, and more fans, made it to the Finals?
Will I be able to achieve my goals and dreams?
Stern had no doubt about this!
Absolutely!
He always felt that Lin Tian's level of popularity and ability was a bit of a waste in Indiana.
Stern is now worried that even if Lin Tian does move to another city after his contract expires, he might still disregard the market and take his talents to places like Denver, Utah, or Minnesota.
If it weren't for this concern, Stern would never have said something so inappropriate.
Lin Tian: Don't worry, I won't even glance at those places you're imagining!
Stern: I'm not at ease, not at all!
But no matter how many ideas Stern may have in mind, now is not the time. Unless Lin Tian has a major conflict with the Pacers, he will definitely not leave until at least three years before his contract expires.
We can only talk about it again in three years!
But Lin Tian was already 31 years old at that time. How many more years could he maintain his current state and abilities?
Stern sighed, pondered for a moment, and left the crowd. He had to think of a solution!
Even if we can't get Lin Tian to leave early, we must ensure that after his contract expires, he chooses to play for one of the top teams in the market! We must do everything possible to expand the influence of the NBA!
Stern is gone, and for the Pacers, what follows is celebration, wild celebration, and that insignificant final press conference that nobody cares about.
That night, after a wild celebration, the Pacers did not leave Los Angeles; they were in no hurry to return to Indiana to share their joy.
After all, this is Los Angeles!
Everyone wants to stay here for at least another day!
Bird and Carlisle readily agreed, and the whole team had a blast that night!
When the team had a party, Lin Tian was accompanied by a girl.
Jennifer Connelly.
She appeared in front of Lin Tian when he left the locker room. She said she knew the Pacers had a curfew during the Finals, so she hadn't appeared in front of Lin Tian until now that the season was over.
Yes, the season is over!
That's all that needs to be said!
Lin Tian took her with him and left Staples Center!
Let's celebrate to our hearts' content!
This summer, Lin Tian didn't have any extra tasks.
He won't go back to play in the Asian tournaments for the national team. It would be ridiculous for a world champion to have to send the whole team to play in an Asian tournament.
After being used like an animal by Pelinka once, Lin Tian was no longer foolish enough to completely follow Pelinka's orders.
He only gave Pelinka one month to carry out his summer world tour, and made it clear that he could visit 7-8 cities in China for half a month, and go anywhere else for the other half month, but at most only 7-8 cities.
I won't play with any more than one!
Then there's the Produce Camp that he and Dolan organized. The first and second seasons of Produce Camp were unprecedentedly successful. Lin Tian didn't participate last year, but he can't escape participating in the third season this summer, no matter what. He has to participate as a mentor.
That'll take another month!
Then Dana Bai called Lin Tian, saying he was celebrating Lin Tian's victory, but Dana Bai meant that he had prepared a match for Lin Tian!
In September, he wanted Lin Tian to fight! This was something Lin Tian had promised him before, that he would personally support the UFC and fight one or two exhibition matches for the UFC to quickly increase the league's popularity, bring him into the public eye, and let everyone know that this is a serious and positive fighting league!
As for who Lin Tian's opponent was, Dana White didn't say. He only told Lin Tian that he must practice his ground skills well, because in order to increase the hype and attention, the person he found would definitely not be someone from the UFC, and couldn't even be someone who practices mixed martial arts.
After all, how many people who practice mixed martial arts can become famous these days?
To match Lin Tian's status and popularity and really ignite the hype of the match, Dana White needs to find someone with equally high popularity to fight Lin Tian!
Across the United States, the best way to get fighting fans excited and create a sensation is to find a boxer to fight!
Why? Because there are so many boxing fans in the US.
But no matter who Dana White ends up fighting Lin Tian, one thing is certain: to avoid embarrassment and getting completely destroyed, Lin Tian will have to dedicate at least a month to training! Otherwise, he can't afford to lose face if he gets knocked out in the octagon!
Then there are other miscellaneous schedules, social engagements, and business activities.
So, if you do the math, Lin Tian really won't be idle at all this summer!
The amount of time he can fully control is at most 20 days to a month.
Or, how about we talk to Pelinka and change the world tour to an Asian tour or even a China tour, and shorten the duration to half a month? That way, he can get more rest!
Of course, those things are all stories for later.
Whether it's making money or business activities, these won't start until late June.
Lin Tian's task now is to relax! To have fun! To fully enjoy the joy of winning the championship!
Well... before that, Lin Tian has one more thing to do!
Something that could have been done as early as the night the season ended.
"The 2000-2001 season has ended. A season-end performance bonus will be distributed to the host!"
"Performing a season rating for the host!"
"Season ratings are in progress"
"Season ratings are out!"
Personal data rating: S+!
Team Status Rating: S+!
Team performance rating: S-!
"Highlight Competition Rating: S+!"
Overall Rating: S!
"A season-end rating gift pack has been issued to the host. Gift pack level: S!"
"Would you like to open it?"
"Open!"
After Lin Tian gave the order, the gift packs were quickly opened!
"Host has gained 10000 experience points!"
"Host has acquired the rune: Strength Rune!"
"Power Rune: Increases host's strength by 10%, and increases maximum strength by 10%!"
"Host has acquired the talent: Iron-Blooded Wolf King!"
"Iron-Blooded Wolf King: The host has acquired Kanzart Chimaev's wrestling talent!"
hiss.
How terrifying!
Looking at his harvest this time, Lin Tian scratched his head a little.
At first, he almost thought he had acquired Garnett's fighting talent!
Fighting and retreating at the same time—who can afford to lose face like that?
But the result was actually the "Chechen Wolf King"? Both are wolf kings, both are known for their iron-bloodedness, but these two wolf kings have very different ways of being iron-blooded.
One is at his toughest and most ruthless when he's howling and doing push-ups, and the other is at his most ruthless when he's throwing people like sacks.
They're worlds apart.
Looking at that power rune again, it doesn't just increase strength anymore; it directly increases the maximum strength.
What the hell is this?
Does this mean I, Lin Da Guanren, should just focus on boxing and stop playing basketball?
I'm trembling with fear.
However, although this thing looks scary and powerful, it's actually not very useful to Lin Tian.
A skill to slay dragons!
Where in the NBA are there any dragons that I, Lin, need to slay?
They're just a bunch of mudskippers; I can take them all down with a few punches and kicks. There's no need to use any grappling, wrestling, or ground fighting techniques against them.
They were all dried up in no time.
No, there's no need for any "whoosh whoosh whoosh." In this alliance, no one would dare to bare their teeth at Lin Tian now.
Basketball? It's just a job. You only earn a few hundred dollars a month. Why risk your life like that?
However, in two months I will be going to the UFC for an exhibition match. At that time, Dana White can arrange a strong and worthy opponent for me so that I can have a good fight and also test my full-power output level.
Then, Lin Tian made a phone call to Dana Bai.
Dana White: Huh? You want to play against a strong opponent? I've prepared a strong opponent for you! Brother, do you not know your own status and level? You're an Olympic champion! Yes, in the professional arena, an Olympic champion isn't that valuable.
But you're still the most dominant, arrogant, and effortless Olympic champion in history, winning by knockout all the way through. That makes you incredibly valuable! Ordinary opponents wouldn't dare fight you!
After listening to Dana White's words, Lin Tian stopped worrying about the matter. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, he could absolutely trust this guy to get things done! This guy was a genius who almost single-handedly saved a professional league, turning the UFC from a low-level event into the most exciting and valuable fighting league in the world.
Even more surprisingly, Dana White gave him a spoiler: he had found a boxer for him and had him train hard in ground fighting techniques.
It's hard to lose if you want to.
After relaxing on his sofa, Lin Tian suddenly noticed something.
As time went by, Lin Tian became stronger and stronger, and his dependence on the system also decreased. It's not that he no longer needed the system, but that he no longer needed to open the system as often as he used to, whenever he gained a little experience.
Especially after the system has hardly given him any new things in the last two years, and has only given him a lot of experience points, Lin Tian has become even lazier to check it every day.
He's saving up enough for an entire season!
For example, he currently has 3.3 experience points, which are the result of his performance throughout the season, some highlight moments, and the experience points he received from the system gift packs!
Then, Lin Tian opened his own system, deciding to take a look, study it, and upgrade it!
Nowadays, when Lin Tian upgrades, he doesn't even consider things like cost-effectiveness anymore; his main focus is on doing whatever he wants and having fun.
For example, after looking at his own stats panel, he found that his physical attributes were only S in strength, while everything else was S+. His offensive attributes were similar, with only his back-to-the-basket game at A-, and his dunking and dribbling at S, while everything else was S+.
That's when obsessive-compulsive disorder flares up!
The Power Rune already gives me an extra 10% Strength, so I should work even harder to raise my Strength to S+ and achieve an all-S+ level physical fitness, right?
So, Lin Tian first used about 11000 experience points to upgrade the skill "Flying Divine Pig", which can increase strength, to LV5!
"Flying Divine Pig LV5 (MAX): Strength increased by 19%, rebounding ability increased by 14%, and jumping ability increased by 11%."
To Lin Tian's slight disappointment, the skill that Barkley unleashed, after reaching its MAX level, did not provide him with any additional attribute bonuses like the "First Shooter" skill. This was probably because the skill had not undergone any fusion processes, so it did not offer any additional improvements.
Then, Lin Tian thought for a moment and realized that if he wanted to upgrade the remaining less than S+ items to S+ at the same time, the best way would be to upgrade his most comprehensive skill, the one that would receive the most upgrades, and the one that would consume the most experience.
A divine skill from Jordan: playing both offense and defense!
Upgrading this thing from LV4 to LV5 will require Lin Tian to spend another 21000 experience points, which will drain Lin Tian dry once again!
"Offensive and defensive all-around LV5 (MAX): Mid-range shooting percentage increased by 11%, finishing ability under the basket increased by 11%, penetration ability increased by 11%, rebounding ability increased by 11%, post-up ability increased by 11%, one-on-one defense increased by 11%, steal ability increased by 11%, and shot blocking ability increased by 11%. All of the above bonuses are increased by an additional 10%!"
Hey!
Just after saying that the initial skill 'Flying Divine Pig', which has not undergone fusion, does not generate any new attributes after reaching MAX, another skill, 'Attack and Defense in One,' which has not undergone fusion, has given Lin Tian a new extra attribute. This is a slap in the face to Sir Charles!
The additional 10% increase from all the above bonuses doesn't seem like much on its own; the original increase was 11%, so it's now only 12.1%.
But what makes this all-around offensive and defensive system so amazing is that it boosts nine aspects at once! All nine aspects go from 11% to 12.1%, that's terrifying!
I have to say, our old braised duck, he really has class!
As expected of my Lord Lin's largest and best warehouse!
After upgrading these two skills, Lin Tian immediately opened the long-unused system panel to check it out.

comfortable!
In the category of physical fitness, Lin Tian achieved an S+ rating in all his attributes, and his overall rating also reached S+.
Furthermore, Lin Tian believed that several of these items were 100% above the S+ level, but the system was simply too outdated to display them!
In addition, my rebounding, dunking, low post, and one-on-one defense abilities have also improved!
At present, Lin Tian's defense is still quite poor, but in terms of offense, only his low post and dribbling skills are not up to S+!
This is also Lin Da Guan Ren's goal for next season: to accumulate experience and further improve those "Truth Gloves" and "Butterfly Effect," striving to bring the offense to an S+ level for the entire team as soon as possible!
As a family, he should be all together!
After settling things off with the system and control panel, Lin Tian rested in Indiana for a few more days, attending countless parties and the annual championship parade!
After the bus traveled all the way and completed the parade around almost the entirety of Indiana, countless fans chased after the bus to Indiana's city center plaza.
Here, Lin Tian stood on the bus and delivered a speech to all the fans.
"Many people say that winning three titles in four years is fantastic, and that we've already established a dynasty!"
"Yes! We are a dynasty!"
"The Indiana Dynasty!"
"The strongest ever!"
"Forest!"
The fans reacted extremely quickly, roaring wildly at Lin Tian to express their joy.
Then Lin Tian held out his hand, signaling the fans to calm down, and then he said, "But I don't think that's right!"
"I don't think we're a dynasty team. We haven't even won three consecutive championships, so how can we call ourselves a dynasty team? Yes, I personally achieved a three-peat, but that was with two different teams!"
"In this situation, how thick-skinned do you have to be to call yourself a dynasty team? Are there different kinds of dynasties – mini-dynasties, semi-dynasties, near-dynasties, nomadic dynasties?"
"In short, regardless of what others think, I don't believe we are a true dynasty team right now!"
"But, but!"
Lin Tian raised his hand, stopping the fans below who wanted to argue with him once again, and continued, "This time next year, we'll still be here. At that time, we can all excitedly shout out that phrase!"
"Pacers are the NBA champions!"
"The Indiana Dynasty!"
After Lin Tian's crazy speech, the entire Indiana descended into extreme madness. It was fortunate that there weren't that many gangsters here, otherwise, who knows how many unpleasant things like "zero-dollar purchases" would have happened in just one day.
Regardless, the entire city of Indiana was in a state of unparalleled joy that day! The mayor of Indiana even declared that every June would henceforth be Indiana's Walker Month! And June 30th would be Walker's Day!
Why is June 30th Lin Tianri (the day of the forest)?
Because June 30th is Lin Tian's birthday!
Lin Tian was still very shocked after learning this news.
After all, he had never celebrated his birthday before. He hadn't celebrated a single birthday in the six years he had been in the industry. How did it suddenly become a big day for the whole city to celebrate together?
However shocked as he was, it didn't dampen Lin Tian's joy!
The whole city celebrates for him every year—it's such a wonderful thing, Lin Tian accepts it without any hindrance!
In particular, if the worldview is upgraded in the future and some ridiculous setting like "improving cultivation by absorbing faith" comes out, then this Lin Tianri will be the one to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and obtain the spiritual power of all living beings!
It's a sure thing: one day to form the inner core, three days to transform into the nascent soul, seven days to transcend the heavenly tribulation, and one year to sever the three corpses!
What does "chosen one" mean?
That's it!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed since the championship parade.
Lin Tian's leisurely time was almost over. He was leaning back on his sofa at home, comfortably watching TV. Tomorrow, he would have to fly to Hawaii to participate in the "Produce Camp" program, which he had created years ago.
This time, Dolan had a sudden inspiration to set the show in the stunningly beautiful Hawaii, aiming to make it both educational and entertaining, combining travel with training and filming!
It's all about happiness!
What Lin Tian was watching at that moment was the annual talent show!
He was still very curious about this year's draft.
The one I'm most curious about is Jordan!
Will this guy actually choose Kwame Brown?
I'm incredibly excited! (End of Chapter)
