NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 118 Late Night Chat with Sistine

This is out of respect for the media. After all, people have been waiting for half a day, and it is hard to just cancel it.

When the two of them appeared in the media room with Scott, they saw a crowd of reporters in the media room.

This is a lot more people than the usual post-match press conference.

Lin Tian is not surprised, because today is the last Kobe VS James in the regular season, which is of great significance.

Many of these media reporters are from Cleveland, and Lin Tian also saw Xiaoxue from Penguin Sports.

It's just that she is still squeezed into a small corner, which makes people feel a little distressed.

When the media interviewed Kobe, they were first asked how they felt the last time they played against James.

Bryant also said something at length to praise James, and then looked back.

The post-match press conferences of the previous games were basically such topics.

Lin Tian, ​​who is accustomed to it, even feels a little sleepy.
The interview with Kobe was finally over, and it was Lin Tian's turn.

The first two questions are all about the game, such as how they lost, how they felt against James, and so on.

Lin Tian also answered these questions more seriously.

The third question is more specific. It was posed by an ESPN reporter: "Lin! According to what we saw, when you returned to the locker room after the game, you seemed to refuse to give the Lakers general manager Kupchak a high-five. May I ask why?"

Lin Tian had guessed that someone would ask this question a long time ago, and he said the answer that he had thought in his mind before: "What? Was the general manager of our team standing in the player tunnel at that time? Sorry, I was only thinking about losing at that time, and I didn't notice Kupchak at all. If you really took that picture, I dare say I must have lowered my head at that time."

When walking in the player tunnel, Lin Tian really kept his head down and said nothing.

It's not impossible that he didn't see Kupchak.

Anyway, if he can get away with it, he can do it anyway, and he can't tell others that he is not satisfied with Kupchak.

Scott and Kobe also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Lin Tian's answer.

Kobe thought to himself, even though Lin is young, he is even more experienced in dealing with the media than himself.

After the post-match press conference, Lin Tian and Kobe went back to their respective homes.

Today they don't have to rush to catch a plane, because they will still be playing at home the day after tomorrow, and then they will face the Orlando Magic.

Back at his rented apartment, Lin Tian couldn't wait to turn on his mobile phone to check the news.

It may be the reason why he pays more attention to Howard recently. There are several news about Howard.

For example, Howard revealed to the media that he wanted to leave Houston, no matter where he was traded.

In addition, there are news of other team transactions.

The trade deadline is getting closer and closer, and the major teams have obviously accelerated the pace of reinforcement.

Some bad teams are trading for the team's salary cap.

Lin Tian was scrolling through the news when Twitter suddenly received a message of mutual concern.

On Twitter, if you are a fan of each other, there will be a special reminder when the other party sends you a message. Only if you have the Internet, you can know it as soon as possible.

Lin Tian was taken aback when he saw the sender.

Sistine: Lin, are you okay?
Stallone's second daughter even took the initiative to send him a message.

After today's loss, Lin Tian was in a very depressed mood, and he forgot to say hello to Stallone and the others after the game.

He edited a message and sent it quickly.

Lin Tian: Thank you for your concern, Sistine, I'm fine.

Sistine: Your performance tonight has been very good. You scored the highest score in the game and suppressed LeBron James who was playing against you.

Lin Tian smiled wryly. It looked like he suppressed James tonight, but the Cavaliers led almost the whole way.

Lin Tian: Not bad, LeBron is very strong, his organizational ability and offensive ability are at the strongest level in the league, including defense.

Sistine: Haha!Yeah?I feel that your efficiency is higher than his.

Lin Tian: That's just on the surface. In fact, LeBron is much better than me in terms of influence on the team.

……

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

Sistine couldn't help frowning when he saw one message after another from Lin Tian.

please!I'm not a basketball player, why are you talking so much about basketball with me?Date me!Even if you buy me a cup of coffee!

But Lin Tian didn't say anything, and Sistine couldn't take the initiative, so he could only have an "awkward chat" with Lin Tian on Twitter.

After chatting for a while, Sistine still couldn't help asking about the news she saw last time.

Sistine: I heard you guys dated some supermodels last time in Miami?

When this news was sent out, Sistine regretted it a little. Didn't this tell him clearly that he cared about his private life?
Sistine's heart beat faster, she hesitated for a moment, but she still didn't withdraw, she sent all the hair out, so why bother.

Besides, she really cared about it.

Although it is widely rumored that Lin Tian does not have a girlfriend, some things are still uncertain.

Lin Tian: It wasn't a date, it just happened to be drinking at the bar that day. Jordan told us that he had a few friends who were also in Miami, so we drank some wine together.

Sistine smiled, and the other party was willing to answer sincerely, which made her very satisfied.

Next, under the guidance of Sistine, the content of the chat between the two finally shifted from basketball to life, and it was not so awkward.

After chatting for an hour, Lin Tian asked for her phone number, and the chat between the two was terminated.

The content of today's chat also made Sistine feel that there is a high probability that Lin Tian's private life is fine.

Sistine has heard too many questions about the messy private lives of NBA players before.

Actually, it's not even news.

Not many NBA players have a good reputation when it comes to their relationship life, and James is one of them.

……

After Lin Tian finished chatting with Sistine, he received another message from Xiaoxue on WeChat.

Same as last time, this time Xiaoxue still sent an article for him to read.

The title of this article is: "This is a night about inheritance".

Since reading Xiaoxue's article last time, Lin Tian's affection for this reporter has doubled.

Unlike most of the sensationalist and out-of-context media, in her writing, she truly revealed the real side.

Of course, there is inevitably some artistic color added to it, but it's just right.

She didn't blow herself up, and the article didn't contain too many subjective opinions, but it made people feel extremely comfortable.

Lin Tian clicked on this article and read it carefully.

In the article, the description of No. 24 and No. 23 is not too long, mainly about the performance of Owen and Lin Tian.

In Xiaoxue's view, the two of them are the disciples of James and Kobe, and they are also the future of the team. The word "inheritance" runs through the whole text.

After reading it, Lin Tian admired Xiaoxue even more.

He even wanted to hire her directly as his "queen reporter".

In the NBA, it's not private that a superstar has a "reporter".

For example, Michael Jordan's "Queen Reporter" Smith, James' "Queen Reporter" Windhorst...
