On June 9, 1995, on the day of the Los Angeles Lakers and Bulls Finals, early in the morning, when Lin Han arrived at the team, he was called to the team's general manager Jerry West to the team's general manager's office.

After receiving the notice from Jerry West, he was quite puzzled. Usually, when there was something wrong, Jerry West came to the training hall to find him, why did he ask him to his office this time?

When he arrived at the general manager's office, Lin Han saw Jerry West sitting on his chair with a serious face and Kupchek with a helpless face.

"Jerry, Mickey, are you all okay?"

"Lin, you can see it yourself"

Jerry West was too lazy to talk to Lin Han, sighing with a desperate sigh, then waved his hand, and Mickey Kupchek beside him handed a pile of newspapers on Jerry West's desk to Lin Han's hand.

"To protect my brother, Lin Han Pippen made a bet to upgrade again. Lin Han said that if you play Pippen in the next game, you will be able to withdraw from the NBA if your success rate is less than 100%!"

"Pippen responded to the latest bet overnight and accepted Lin Han's challenge. In the next game, Lin Han beat him more than 10 times, with a success rate of 100%. He will run back to Chicago from Los Angeles naked!"

"Lin Han Pipeng's bet triggered the NBA, and the players and fans took the team one after another. Lin Han's former teammate Karl Malone praised Lin Han as an honest and trustworthy player. Olajuwon Barkley said it was interesting, and O'Neill Hardaway said it was, please think Lin Han three times."

"The gambling death of NBA players. Jordan retired once because of gambling, and Lin Han also wants to copy it? David Stern has a headache. Will the NBA reach its peak be a mirage?"

After slightly flipping through the stack of newspapers, Lin Han could understand why Jerry West and Kupchek now have such expressions.

Although he knew that what he said yesterday would trigger the entire NBA, he didn't expect the noise to be so big!

The eight largest media in the United States today, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune and other countries are all front page headlines, which is comparable to the US election to elect a new president.

Such a scene is definitely a scene that David Stern wants to get in his dreams. The NBA finals were reported by major media across the United States on the front pages. The scene that can only appear in this way was unexpectedly realized.

But the peak of NBA's life came so unexpectedly. After being caught off guard, it made him feel extremely troubled, so last night he wanted to go to Lin Han personally regardless of the neutrality of the president of his alliance.

Is Pippen naked? He is not interested in running back to Chicago, but Lin Han is now one of the two carriages in the NBA business, and Lin Han and Jordan are not allowed to lose one!

Of course, in addition to giving David Stern a headache, Pippen, as the person involved, has definitely reached the peak of his life.

No matter how good he did with the Bulls before, Jordan blocked his light in front of him.

And now?

Who is Jordan?!

Look at the front page headlines of major American media, Jordan is just a footnote to his battle with Lin Han!

As long as he makes a bet this time, he can defeat Lin Han, then there will definitely be no such comfortable spotlight that will only be once, and Jordan will never block his light again!

"Lin, tell me what you think, what did you think?"

After being silent for a long time, Jerry West sighed and looked at Lin Han with a complicated expression and asked.

"It's just a condition of the bet, and it doesn't mean I will execute it."

"According to current public opinion, if you do not execute these bets, it will seriously affect your image."

Lin Han looked indifferent, but Jerry West couldn't ignore it!

Lin Han is in the Lakers, and he can play whatever he wants. He can even play magicians, and he or his boss Jerry Bass. But he can't play with himself!

If you really want to play yourself in, what will the Lakers do in the future?

The Lakers have finally recovered!

"Jerry, you misunderstood what I mean, I mean, this bet, can I just win?"

"Lin, until now, are you still kidding me?"

"How could it be, Jerry, don't be angry, I have my plans."

Looking at the smile on Lin Han's face, Jerry West was a little confused. He really trusted Lin Han. It should be said that the entire Lakers trusted Lin Han very much, even to the point of unconditional trust.

But no matter how much you trust, you will feel guilty when you see the bet between Lin Han and Pippen.

"Lin, do you know what your bet with Pippen is?"

"I know, I will beat Pippen more than 10 times in the next game, with a 100% success rate. He ran back to Chicago naked, with a less than 100% success rate. I quit NBA"

"Are you really sure?"

Lin Han's expression is very serious now, making Jerry West hesitate now.

"Of course I have to grasp it. I am sure of anything I do, but whether I can achieve it in the end depends on God. A bet with Pippen is indeed very risky, but the gains of success are definitely worth my risk!"

What are the gains after success?

Mickey Kupchek, who had not spoken next to him, looked at Lin Han unexpectedly. Lin Han played a lot!

Use your withdrawal from the NBA as a bet to attract the attention of the whole world and send yourself and Pippen to the focus of the world. If you lose the bet, Lin Han and the Lakers will be miserable. If you win by chance, then Pippen and the Bulls...

Although this possibility is almost zero, Kupchek was a little chilled when he thought about the public opinion and pressure he might encounter if Pippen lost this bet.

Lin, it’s indeed a guy who is cruel to himself and even more cruel to others!

Naturally, Jerry West didn't know what the assistant around him was thinking, but looked at Lin Han deeply and sighed again.

"You haven't given up on this year's finals yet?"

"I won't give up any finals!"

Jerry West was silent, but his eyes looked at Lin Han were full of praise. Such desire to win was the key to the Lakers' ability to get to the present this season.

"I understand, Lin is right. Since you want to win the championship, it is impossible not to make a little sacrifice. It's just that it's still a little risky. It's not just for yourself, but for your teammates. You will put huge pressure on them."

"I naturally know this, but it doesn't matter. As long as we win the next game and I win, everything will enter a new era!"

Will everything enter a new era?

Jerry West looked at Lin Han's back as he left, frowned deeply, while Mickey Kupchek beside him was always worried.

He knew that his general manager Jerry West was a dream-filled person and a person who had been fantasizing about challenges. Lin Han's words were actually very in line with his appetite.

And he, he is different from Lin Hanjieli West and others, he is a conservative person.

"Jerry, did Lin leave like that?"

"Well, since Lin has thought about the consequences of his decision, we will support him."

As long as we think about the consequences of our decision, we will support him...

Kupchek didn't know what to say.

"Where is Mr. Stern?"

"Don't worry about him, it's not his turn to decide the Lakers' affairs."

Well, the Lakers are now the radical dreamer...

In addition to Lin Han and Jerry West, another radical dreamer, Magic, the Lakers, is really tired now.

At first, Lin Han and Pippen made a bet on one-on-one challenge, and he could accept it, but why did he add another sentence later on, what is the success rate that I quit NBA?

The entire Lakers' aura has dropped to the lowest point, and the players are really nervous. Not to mention young players like Eddie Jones, even veterans like Rodman and Dominic Wilkins are now like springs being pressed to the bottom.

If springs are used to describe the current Lakers and Bulls, then the Lakers are the springs that are being compressed hard. The ones pressed on this spring are Lin Han’s bet to withdraw from the NBA. This bet does not seem to be successful, so the springs will not have any possibility of rebound.

As for the Bulls, it seemed like they had pushed the weight of the spring, which pushed the entire team high. Even Pippen had already flew into the air and shouted happily. It was not a word of pleasure!

Faced with the current situation of the team, as the head coach and a new head coach, it would be useless to feed more chicken soup, because the team's leading players may be quitting the NBA tomorrow.

No, after the game is over, you will quit NBA!

Lin Han is now closing his eyes to rest. Usually, he will help him adjust the morale of the team at this time. But this time, what surprised the Magician was that Lin Han had no idea or intention to speak at all, and seemed to be telling him that no matter how much he said it, it would be useful.

As the core figure of this bet, the little defender Trevoruben is so depressed that he can't even raise his head.

If the boss hadn't been to protect him, he wouldn't have been irritated by Pippen to say such words.

"The atmosphere at the Great Western Forum Arena is a little different today."

On the evening of June 9, 1995, the first game of the Lakers and Bulls' finals was about to begin, and Collins and Larry Bird, who were sitting in the commentary seat, both felt the atmosphere of this finals completely different from the sixth game in the previous Western Conference Finals.

If the Lakers fans at the scene shouted Lin Han and the Lakers after entering the sixth game of the West Finals, then now the entire stadium is silent.

This kind of depressing atmosphere is really fatal.

Larry Bird and Collins are both considered old men of the NBA and have been in the NBA for many years, but to be honest, this is the first time that the two have seen each other at home like the Lakers today!

There is indeed a gap in strength between the Lakers and the Bulls. The two teams play similarly, and the Bulls surround the Lakers in terms of strength. Therefore, based on everyone's predictions before the game, 99% of American experts are more optimistic about the Bulls.

But even so, with Lin Han's god-level performance in the Western Conference Finals, he could still struggle with his fans at home, but now this is not like he is struggling at all.

"I have to say that Lin is still too young. This is the second year after he entered the NBA and the second year after he started playing basketball. An NBA player won the scoring champion in just two years of his career. Regular season MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, Best Defensive Player, first team, first defense, etc. Almost all the honors you can get. No matter how high you are, you don't have any problem, because he has achieved the ultimate he can do. Many people say that Lin Han is a player who likes to challenge himself. This time, his challenge is a little too high."

"Yes, facing Pippen's defense, it hit 100% and this challenge is too difficult."

In the current NBA, is Pippen the strongest player in the NBA's defense?

Of course not. Pippen is on the outside. In the world of basketball, the defensive influence of inside players is always higher than that of outsiders, and the importance of assisting defense is always higher than single defense. A player's assisting defense can support a team's defense. For example, Olajuwon, as long as there is Olajuwon, the Rockets' outside players is just ordinary defenders, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, many people say that Olajuwon is the best defensive player in the league and his defensive influence is the greatest.

However, even if Pippen's defensive influence is not as good as Olajuwon, Pippen is probably stronger than Olajuwon in terms of single defense.

Lin Han may be 100% successful in facing Olajuwon's defense, but there is no possibility of facing Pippen!

"It depends now on whether the Magicians will give up their promises and change the starting lineup of the Lakers in this game. Although this will make Lin Han and himself laugh at for being ridiculed, it is better than Lin Han's final withdrawal from the NBA."

In fact, after Lin Han made this bet with Pippen, many people speculated that the Magicians would likely change the Lakers' starting lineup and not play a one-on-one fight with the Bulls, and directly fundamentally cancel the bet. In this way, he and Lin Han would definitely be ridiculed by the whole world, but they could save Lin Han's greater consequences caused by the mistakes.
