Chapter 700 This was a gift from Uncle Lin and Aunt Larsa.
"I received an email in my inbox, and I want to see who it is. It might be from the school, but my computer is broken," Marcus said timidly. "I'm sorry if I've bothered you, Dad. I'll leave now."
"No need," Jordan said, putting on as benevolent an expression as possible. "Come on, Marcus, pick up the screen for me. Let's see who sent you this email together. What if it's important?"
Jordan's temper is definitely much better now than when he was playing basketball.
If Marcus had dared to walk into his room during his playing years, he would have grabbed Marcus by the collar and taken him to the basketball court for a one-on-one match, showing Marcus who was the greatest player in NBA history.
But now, Jordan can speak to his son calmly.
"The screen still works, no problem, it connects. Hmm? Dad, is this you? Isn't this our house?" Marcus said as he familiarly connected to the computer and saw what Jordan had just been looking at.
"Turn it off!" Jordan's breathing became noticeably heavier.
He regretted it!
Why didn't you turn off the video and webpage before smashing the computer?
Fortunately, Marcus was quite smart. He didn't say a word more, but decisively closed the webpage and opened his email.
"It's an email from Uncle Lin, saying it's a gift for me!" Marcus said, subconsciously opening his email.
By the time Jordan realized what was happening and tried to stop it, it was too late!
He knew Lin Tian too well! He knew exactly what Lin Tian would send to Marcus at this time!
If it weren't for that video, he could have eaten spaghetti upside down and peed at the same time!
Then, a woman appeared on the screen.
Marcus and Jordan were both stunned.
Because both Jordan and Marcus knew this woman.
"Aunt Larsa?" Marcus muttered, but his eyes were fixed on the sexy, generous aunt on the computer screen, and then, as if possessed, he clicked the mouse again.
Another photo of Pippen's wife, Larsa.
These photos aren't anything private; Larsa came in for a magazine photoshoot and then they were released to the public.
Of course, young Marcus couldn't buy these things yet, so Uncle Lin showed his thoughtfulness.
Jordan didn't notice his son's increasingly stiff body and the way he kept swiping and changing the photos; he was just furious!
That bastard Lin, why the hell would he send this stuff to his son?
Is he out of his mind?
"Huh? What's this?" Just as Jordan was getting furious, Marcus clicked on the last attachment in the email.
An edited video.
After the video started playing, Marcus saw his father kissing a donkey's rear end, and then he saw his father kissing a pig's rear end.
Marcus had witnessed this scene before.
But he was very young then, and he didn't understand what this meant.
But now he understands! His dormant memories are starting to attack him!
He remembered everything!
Including the fact that he was beaten by his father when he was a child!
Ok?
What happened?
How did I suddenly become airborne?
By the time Marcus realized what was happening, Jordan had already grabbed him by the neck and dragged him out of the room!
An enraged Jordan dragged Marcus all the way to the basketball court.
"Come on! One-on-one! 100 points!" Jordan threw Marcus there without saying a word, then picked up a basketball and slammed it heavily into Marcus.
Jordan is on fire right now!
He needs to calm down!
He's furious!
He felt that Lin Tian did it on purpose!
He deliberately found a bunch of random photos as cover, and then showed Marcus that video.
Damn it! Your heart is so dirty!
They even bully children! Bastards! They deserve to go to hell!
What kind of bastard would deceive a poor child like this?
If people like this don't go to hell, is there any justice in the world?
While Jordan was cursing under his breath, he was completely unaware that he was also bullying a child!
As for Marcus?
He didn't show the same fear as before.
He was almost 17 years old and only had one thing on his mind at that moment.
My dad didn't make me delete Aunt Larsa's photos.
Really good!
He truly is my wonderful father!
Aunt Larsa, you're so beautiful...
Lin Tian had no idea how much change and pain his prank would bring to Marcus.
All he knew was that the day after he eliminated the Nets, he was caught by reporters on his way to the Knicks' training facility.
"Lin, predict the outcome of the next matches. The remaining three matches are still undecided!"
Yes, the Knicks are the first team to successfully enter the conference finals. The remaining teams will have to fight tooth and nail!
Of the remaining three series, the Celtics vs. Cavaliers series is fairly clear-cut. The Celtics have a 3-1 lead, and Wade's madness has subsided. He only had a breakout performance in Game 3 to secure a win.
However, in the remaining three games, Wade was outnumbered and unable to help his team win.
Tonight, the Cavaliers will face the Celtics in Game 5.
"The Celtics will win this game, and they'll advance to the next round easily! I miss them, I miss the feeling of eliminating them, especially Duncan! Honestly, Duncan is such a strong opponent, and I've only eliminated him once in my career so far."
"That's too little! It's so boring! I want to beat him up a few more times!"
That's why they say Lin Tian is good at chatting.
Predicting the outcome of a game can also be a convenient way to mock Duncan's disastrous playoff runs with the Magic.
That's terrible!
The series between the Suns and the Nuggets is currently tied 2-3. The Suns just won Game 5 and are about to travel to Denver for Game 6.
"The Suns will lose Game 6, this series will go to a Game 7, and I'm more optimistic about the Nuggets advancing to the Conference Finals! Because Chauncey can defend Steve, and Darko has considerable dominance in the paint; he can handle Kenyon and Shawn!"
The other matchup is between the Lakers and the Spurs, which is now tied at 3-1. The Lakers' season can definitely be described as unlucky! At the beginning of the season, Kirilenko was out for the season, and at the end of the season, McGrady was also out for the season.
The original Big Three was reduced to just Kobe fighting alone in the blink of an eye! Facing the incredibly powerful Spurs, he tried his best but could only manage to win one of the first four games.
"The Spurs will take the game at home in Game 5! The Lakers' tragic season is over! But they'll definitely come back strong next season! I remember they had an unprotected first-round pick from the Trail Blazers?"
"This draft pick is at least a top-seven pick, right? The Lakers next season will definitely be terrifying! A fully recovered McGrady and Kirilenko, a talented rookie drafted in a strong year, plus Kobe—maybe they can get their revenge next year!"
Lin Tianyi made a series of predictions, predicting the outcome of all three remaining series matches!
The reporters certainly wouldn't disappoint Lin Tian!
The local New York media outlets that interviewed him got to work immediately, editing and publishing Lin Tian's predictions early on.
Lin Tian predicts the outcome of the remaining three rounds of the series! Will the Nuggets, Spurs, and Celtics advance as he predicts?
Lin Tian's prediction naturally attracted many fans to watch and then discuss it!
They need to analyze whether Lin Tian's prediction is reliable or not!
Not reliable!
At least his first prediction was wrong.
In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Celtics hosted Wade and the Cavaliers at home!
Trailing 3-1, with the team's second-best player Hughes out for the season and Wade playing with an injury, Wade once again exploded in this game!
This guy has taken the Wade throw to its extreme!
In this game, Wade would almost always drive to the basket whenever he had the chance, and throw himself into the air whenever he had the opportunity, before looking for contact and the rim!
The Celtics couldn't withstand Wade's all-out, desperate style of play!
Howard fouled out with 3 minutes left in the game, leaving the Celtics' interior defense even more vulnerable as Duncan was the only player left.
After Howard left the game, Wade attacked the Spurs' paint three times in a row and scored on all three attempts!
Thanks to Wade's continuous attacks, the Cavaliers took the initiative, gained the lead, and successfully maintained it until the end of the game.
In this game, Wade scored 41 points again, and also got a total of 22 free throws, making 20 of them!
Wade's relentless attacks have given the Cavaliers a glimmer of hope! They will now return to Cleveland for a final, do-or-die battle!
In the first match, Lin Tian successfully predicted failure!
And this is just the beginning!
If Wade's performance in Game 5 of the series was about giving his all with his body and youthful fighting spirit to crush the Celtics, then Kobe's performance in Game 5 of the series was the ultimate representation of technical skill!
Both teams were down 1-3, both were playing their fifth game away from home, and both had teammates injured, leaving them to carry the team.
Kobe stepped up once again!
He faced relentless double-teams and defensive traps from the Spurs throughout the game, but he became more and more frantic as the game progressed!
Kobe scored 7 points in the first quarter, 9 points in the second quarter, and 12 points in the third quarter. After three quarters, Kobe had scored 28 points! For him, this was just a mediocre statistic.
With his "mediocre" performance, the Lakers trailed the Spurs by 14 points going into the fourth quarter.
Then, it was Kobe's time to shine!
Throughout the fourth quarter, Kobe went on a scoring spree, driving to the basket and shooting from outside, racking up a whopping 22 points in the quarter!
In fact, with one minute left in the game, the Lakers were actually trailing the Spurs by 5 points!
But from this moment on, the most insane lone hero began his performance!
First, he forced a three-pointer from the left 45° angle, facing almost perfect defense from James, and narrowed the gap to only 2 points!
Then, after James scored a basket, Kobe used the inbound pass after the timeout to create an open space, turned around at the left baseline corner, received the ball, and pulled up for a shot!
Only 1 point left!
Then, the Lakers successfully defended against the Spurs' attack, and the Lakers had 5 seconds left to make a final shot.
It's still Kobe!
Facing a double-team from James and Bosh, Kobe used his perfect positioning skills at the top of the arc to create another opportunity for himself at the right 5-degree angle. Then, despite the double defense, he forced his way up for a shot!
"Whoosh!"
After another crisp sound, Kobe completed the game-winning shot!
Kobe hit three consecutive three-pointers in the final minute of the game and scored a game-high 50 points, saving the Lakers from the brink of elimination!
The Lakers have also earned the opportunity to win the game back at home and salvage their entire season!
Lin Tian has lost two games in a row!
Then, the final suspense!
The Suns will face the Nuggets on the road!
The Nuggets got blown out!
This match was just that straightforward.
Nash dominated Billups, and Milicic was overwhelmed by the Suns' relentless attacks, unable to keep up with their pace.
Ultimately, the Nuggets suffered a crushing defeat at home to the Suns and were eliminated!
They were eliminated by the Suns with a score of 2:4!
This match was completely opposite to Lin Tian's prediction, and it wasn't just about the outcome.
这场比赛被林天称之为会打爆纳什的比卢普斯17投6中只拿到15分4助攻还有4失误，而纳什却打出了17分18助攻的完美数据！他打爆了比卢普斯！
While Milicic's 17 points and 11 rebounds looked impressive, Kenyon Martin on the opposing team really went all out, racking up a massive double-double of 22 points and 22 rebounds, leading his team to victory and advancing to the Western Conference Finals alongside Nash!
After the game, Nash, who is usually good-natured and doesn't easily offend anyone, couldn't help but jokingly say to Lin Tian, "I hope Lin can predict that we'll be eliminated by the Spurs, then we'll definitely win!"
"Thanks to his prediction. If he hadn't been so pessimistic about us, we might not have put on such a fantastic performance tonight! His words gave us the motivation!"
After this round of matches, Nash wasn't the only one making fun of Lin Tian!
Kobe: "Anyway, I'm just a pathetic guy who can't carry a team to victory on my own. I'm waiting for the rookies to save me. See you next season."
Wade: "I can always deliver unexpected performances, and I love that feeling. I love being looked down upon and then getting back up to make everyone laugh! That's exactly what happened when I first saw Lin."
"I lost to Gilbert, I was completely crushed by him, and then Lin saved me. Lin gave me a chance, and from then on I gained confidence, worked hard, and vowed never to let Lin down! I have to prove Lin right, prove that his judgment was right!"
"However, what I didn't expect was that this time, the one who didn't have faith in me would be him! It just goes to show that even Lin, even the Lin I respect the most, can misjudge someone!"
"Dwyane Wade, you haven't lost yet! I'll give it my all! I'll fight with everything I have to challenge Lin again in the conference finals!"
"We'll see!"
After these three matches, Lin Tian's image changed in everyone's eyes.
The league's number one guiding light has been born!
I predicted all three matches, and all three predictions failed!
That probability is extremely low!
Some busybodies even posted questions about it.
Does Lin actually understand football?
Even my grandma wouldn't be wrong three times in a row when she makes predictions!
This is my pet, an adorable little hamster. He randomly selected numbers and got one right out of three!
"I'm a Lakers fan, please support Lin, please say the Lakers will win!"
"Damn it, where did this Spurs fan come from? Get him out of here!"
"Please help me, Lin! I have an exam coming up soon, and I hope you can wish me failure so I won't pass!"
"Me too! Me too! Lin, please curse me so that I won't win a single lottery ticket, even if I spend a single cent on them!"
"Here! Look here! I'm a Pacers fan, please hope we don't get a top-three pick! We're family!"
……
In short, Lin Tian has become a guiding light!
Everyone longed for Lin Tian's "blessing" and hoped he would support the opposing team! Lin Tian believed this was a truly heartfelt request!
So Lin Tian recorded a video and posted it on YouTube.
After all, it's our own business, so we have to support it when it's needed!
The video is short, only 2 minutes long.
In those two minutes, Lin Tian did two things.
First of all, best wishes to the Nuggets for a lottery-winning season next year; both Milicic and Billups have played terribly.
In just this short clip, Lin Tian gained friendship from Denver! Countless fans said: Come play for Denver next season, we won't boo you!
That's how real it is!
This section can be considered Lin Tian's apology letter for "causing" his elimination from the Nuggets.
Then, there's the second thing.
Continue with the predictions!
The remaining two matches.
The Celtics will lose Game 6, and they will have to play the Cavaliers in a Game 7.
The Spurs will win Game 6 and advance to the conference finals!
Upon hearing these two predictions, Cavaliers and Spurs fans let out a series of wails, all feeling that it was all over!
For the first time in NBA history, Celtics and Lakers fans have reached a consensus on one thing and become allies.
That's giving Lin Tian a thumbs up!
Dear brother! Our advancement depends entirely on you!
……
In short, Lin Tian, who advanced early and had nothing to do, managed to gain a lot of attention and interact with fans from all walks of life!
Just how popular is he?
The combined attention received by the six teams participating in the competition probably doesn't even compare to that of Lin Tian alone!
This guy is really good at attracting attention and creating buzz! (End of Chapter)
