Chapter 318 The Master of Time and Space, Intending to Save Women
Chapter 318 The Master of Time and Space, Intending to Save Women
Chapter 318 Christie, the master of time and space, who intends to save women!
Twenty minutes later, the Pacers players, looking tired and unwilling, gathered outside the training facility. They all looked like they were very sleep-deprived and wanted to lie down and catch up on sleep as soon as possible.
Bird completely ignored their protests, glanced at his watch, and said, "We've been at the hotel for almost two hours, and you guys are still not in the mood. Honestly, I'm very disappointed! I'm extremely disappointed!"
"So now, I'm going to show you what it means to be ready! What a true player and leader are!"
After Bird finished speaking, Carlisle immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door to the training facility.
Then they saw Lin Tian, who was constantly rubbing his hair, and Christie, who was shirtless.
Judging from their appearance, the two guys had just finished showering.
"You two."
"Just finished showering, what's up, Larry? Everyone's here!" Lin Tian gave an innocent smile.
He did it on purpose!
After learning from an assistant coach that Bird was bringing a group to visit the training session, he immediately decided to set Bird up!
He completely depleted his experience points in order to win the last game, so he needs to make up for it!
"Larry Bird's emotions have fluctuated, resulting in a loss of 500 experience points!"
Then, Lin Tian received Bird's gift.
Mmm, that feels good!
All that extra practice was worth it!
Lin Tian's approach was exactly what teachers wanted to show struggling students: how top students study hard, how they don't relax even in their spare time, and how they continue to study diligently, thus establishing a top student persona and encouraging other students to learn from him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the top student was actually reading a book called "Young Bai Jie".
Hehe, the main idea is to embarrass the teacher!
Bird, as expected, fell for it!
Of the 20 people present, Bird was the most embarrassed!
"Weren't you guys doing extra practice?" Bird asked Lin Tian and Christie with a dark expression.
"We're done practicing. We've both been practicing for two hours. Time to go back and rest and have dinner." Lin Tian continued innocently, "We have a competition the day after tomorrow, so we can't overexert ourselves."
asshole!
Looking at Lin Tian's expression, Bird immediately made a judgment: This bastard didn't do it on purpose, I'd give him my life!
Damn it! You tricked me again!
Realizing what had happened, Bird, still furious, gave Lin Tian another 200 experience points. Then, suppressing his anger, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "See that? Our leader! Lin, who saved the team in the last game, who almost single-handedly led us to victory, is still working hard in extra training!"
"Because Lin knows that although the fans thought we won the last game brilliantly, he himself knows very well that we played terribly! You agree, Doug!"
Bird didn't dare to ask Lin Tian anymore; who knew what that bastard would say? It was more reliable to choose the more honest Christie!
"Yeah! Lin said we played terribly in the last five minutes of our last game, so we decided to have a practice session as soon as we landed. Lin practiced his accuracy when forcing shots against strong defense, while I took charge of defense and continued to study how to deal with Kobe's strong attacks!"
"In the last game, if I could have contained Kobe and Lin could have put the ball in the basket earlier, we definitely wouldn't have had such a difficult time!"
Bird was almost moved to tears upon hearing Christie's serious speech!
That's a great player! What a fine son of the coach!
In the next game, I'll give you more playing time and more screens and cuts!
"See that, all of you!" Bird turned to the rest of the group and continued, "Only two games have been played in the Finals! We've certainly achieved some good results, but the series has only just begun!"
"The team's best player worked the hardest, while you guys who played terribly are celebrating. What are you celebrating? Celebrating getting VIP seats courtside and watching a top-tier NBA individual show?"
"To start celebrating now is incredibly stupid! It's ridiculous! Didn't you think about how the Los Angeles team would play when they returned to their home court? Didn't you think they would go all out in Game 3?"
"You don't care about any of that! You only care about your own happiness!"
"You bunch of bastards, the worst class of players I've ever seen!"
"If this were the Celtic team in the 80s, Auerbach would have made you bastards clean toilets for a month! But you're lucky, I'm not Auerbach, and the team doesn't need anyone to clean toilets now."
At this point, Bird's eyes swept over everyone, and he was very satisfied to see the shame, bewilderment, and regret on the players' faces!
Well, at least these people have a sense of shame! There's hope!
"However, the necessary punishment is unavoidable. Starting tonight, a curfew is in effect for everyone! No one is allowed to leave the hotel except for matches! Everyone is to stay in the hotel to rest and train!"
"Hmm, maybe, except for two people." Bird's eyes suddenly darted around, then he looked at Lin Tian and Christie: "Lin and Doug, as the ones who volunteered for extra training, received special privileges. They can go out and have some fun, they can take a trip around Los Angeles."
"As for you guys, it depends on your individual performance! If you also want to go abroad, I'll take into consideration the best performers in the third game the day after tomorrow, and they might get the chance to tour around Los Angeles. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear!"
The Pacers players felt a pang of regret, but they also knew that Bird was right; they had indeed played terribly in Game 2! And going out to play during the Finals was clearly a very inappropriate thing to do.
Although the Pacers have a bunch of hooligans, and players like Webber and Ben Wallace are known for their partying, it is the Finals after all, and these guys at least know what's important. So while it's disappointing that they can't have some fun in Los Angeles, no one really objects or protests.
As for Bird?
He's shrewd too!
Christie is known for being an honest man who never goes out to play. If you ask him to go out, the most he'll do is go to a luxury store to buy his wife a bag. Those are places for rich people, and they're perfectly safe!
Well, he might not even have the money to buy his wife a handbag. He's henpecked, so Bird wouldn't worry if he just wandered around the streets of Los Angeles.
As for Lin Tian?
Bird knew how many lovers this guy had in Los Angeles and how many female celebrities he had messed with.
Anyway, this guy doesn't really like drinking, and he doesn't like causing trouble either. He just likes to lie down in different hotels and apartments, and he never lets such things interfere with the competition. Letting Lin Tian out will only make him more excited in the competition.
If it were Webber, Carter, or Ben Wallace who came for extra practice today, Bird would at most offer a few words of encouragement and let them go out and have some fun.
Don't even think about it! Who knows what kind of trouble these guys might cause? What if they get into a fight with some fanatic fans on the streets of Los Angeles? Who knows what might happen!
The best and safest way is to keep them in the hotel!
"Oh, right, Lin." Bird suddenly pulled an envelope from his pocket and said, "This is from the hotel reception; it's your stuff. Okay, you're dismissed! You can do whatever you want in your rooms, but you're not allowed to leave the hotel, and you're absolutely forbidden from drinking or doing anything else outrageous!"
"You know what I mean. Nobody's getting away with this or trying to skirt the rules! This is the finals, and I won't hold back against anyone! Anyone! Alright, dismissed!"
After Bird finished speaking, he and Carlisle left first. The other players sighed and followed suit. Christie said, "Want to go shopping with me, Yao Lin? We can buy some things together. My wife said she wants a brand new LV bag, a limited edition. You can't find these good things in Indiana!"
Lin Tian originally wanted to refuse Christie, but then he thought that since it was still early, they might as well go shopping together.
Buying something as a gift is a good idea!
So Lin Tian didn't rush to contact the girls, but instead went to the shopping mall with Christie.
However, despite browsing and looking around, Lin Tian really didn't understand or want to understand anything about bags, jewelry, or accessories.
To Lin Tian's surprise, although he knew nothing about Christie, she was an expert. She was not only very familiar with the various luxury shopping centers in Los Angeles, but also had an excellent understanding of the jewelry, bags and accessories of various brands!
Christie is intimately familiar with all sorts of terms and sales policies, such as limited editions, collaborations, special editions, this season's main products, best-selling items, and bundled sales.
Lin Tian even felt that this guy was more professional and attentive than 99% of the sales assistants in luxury stores!
Absolutely top-notch quality!
If he didn't play basketball and instead became a sales associate, he would definitely be one of the top performers in the industry!
He has a much brighter future than playing basketball. At best, he could be a good starter in basketball, but if he were to do sales, Lin Tian thought he could become the king of sales!
In response, Christie said: There's nothing special about it, just practice makes perfect!
After buying two handbags for his wife, Christy took Lin Tian to a jewelry store to choose a gift for him.
However, seeing that this guy was ready to shop around and even wanted to explain to Lin Tian the origins of Italian luxury goods and the advantages and history of British brands, he quickly reached out to interrupt Christie.
"This is it! We'll only visit this one! We won't look at the second one." Lin Tianzhan took over, casually pointing to a shop that looked very luxurious and elegant, but which he had never heard of before.
Christie's eyes lit up after one glance: "Lin! You have excellent taste! This is the exclusive jeweler of the British Royal Family, known as the Crown Jewellery by the Queen. It's the most luxurious and prestigious brand in all of Britain! The entire British Royal Family loves wearing their jewelry!"
"That's great!" Lin Tian was genuinely happy!
This store is definitely the right choice; you'll find the right thing without even having to shop around!
So, after following Christie into the jewelry store, Lin Tian patted the guy on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you. I need to rest for a bit. You help me choose, and I'll pay for it when you're done!"
"Lin! You can't be so perfunctory when giving gifts to girls! Let me tell you, every piece of jewelry is the result of a designer's hard work, and every design embodies their love for gemstones and girls. This isn't just jewelry; it's love! It's art!"
"Yes, yes, art! I believe in your artistic talent!" Lin Tian plopped down on the sofa and said to Christie, "But unfortunately, I don't have one, so it's yours."
After sitting down, Lin Tian ignored Christy and picked up the phone to message the girls.
Yes, girls!
"Honey, are you there? Where are you? I've arrived in Los Angeles!"
After sending a message to each of Bellucci, Julie, Portman, and Connery, Lin Tian sat there and continued playing Snake.
I have to support the game I invested in.
"Lin, this one is more suitable for mature women."
"This one is suitable for young girls."
"This is sexy and alluring."
"She's so youthful and beautiful."
Christy would come over to talk to Lin Tian every now and then, and then show him the jewelry she had chosen for him.
Lin Tian nodded in agreement, indicating that he would listen to him.
"Who exactly are you giving this to!" Christie snapped impatiently. "Does a girl have so many different styles?"
"Who said I was going to give them to a girl?" Lin Tian glanced at Christie and said, "One is sexy and mature, one is intellectual and quiet, one is youthful and beautiful, and one is a cold and aloof beauty."
Lin Tian thought for a moment and described the four girls he had to deal with, pointing out their individual characteristics.
The female sales assistant next to Christie stared wide-eyed. This handsome guy, is he really that good at having fun?
Christie glanced at Lin Tian, and a rare hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, a stark contrast to his unwavering loyalty to love.
"Anything's fine, right? Four people, right? Then leave it to me!" After saying that, Christie turned around and continued to choose with the sales assistant.
Unfortunately, Lin Tian did not sense Christie's murderous aura.
That scumbag is planning his route right now!
"Baby, I'm very close to you, I'm at Beverly Center, I can come to you right away, but I have to go back to the team later, you know, we have a curfew during the Finals, I have to go back and be with my brothers!"
"Honey, our team has another meeting, maybe in 3 hours? I'll come find you as soon as possible, but I have to go back to the team tonight, you know, it's the Finals!"
"Julie, I'm right outside Bird's office, hoping he'll let me out because we have a curfew. But he doesn't really want me to leave. After all, I'm the team leader, you know, I have to set an example! I can't just sneak away. I have to get his permission. It might take a few hours, but I'll definitely be there tonight."
"Honey, we have a curfew tonight, so I can't go out. But I should be able to sneak out after our coaching staff falls asleep! Don't worry, even if I have to become Peter Parker and climb over the hotel wall to get out, I'll still come see you! I'll definitely come to see you tonight! The worst that can happen is I get fined by the team and get a lecture from that old man Larry, it's nothing!"
Yes, Lin Tian had already quickly planned out his complete route and timeline.
The true master of time management and the grand mage of space!
Every second counts, we can't afford to waste any time!
Fortunately, a few minutes later, Christie came over carrying several bags: "Here you go, Lin. This was worn by the Queen of England! Absolutely luxurious! Your girls will definitely be satisfied!"
Lin Tian handed his card to the sales assistant who was waiting to swipe it, then took several bags in one hand, patted Christie on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, Doug, I'm off now, see you later!"
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he entered the password and signature, then quickly turned around and left for the parking lot. Fortunately, he and Christie had decided beforehand that they wouldn't go back together, so they drove two cars here, saving Christie the trouble of taking a taxi back.
"Mr. Christie, but I still have to say, the four pieces of jewelry you chose are a set, so..." The sales assistant couldn't help but voice her concerns.
If this handsome and wealthy young man were to return home and be discovered by his female companions, he would break the entire set of jewelry into four pieces and give them away.
The scene was too beautiful for her to bear!
"It's okay, he can handle it." Christie shrugged and left the store.
At this moment, Christie was incredibly happy and proud; he felt he had done something great.
"Madam, you dropped something, shall I pick it up for you?" Several tens of minutes later, Lin Tian met Bellucci, whom he had not seen for a long time, in a luxury apartment in Beverly Hills.
She still exudes an irresistible charm, still a captivating beauty with a cigarette in her hand and alluring eyes.
Lin Tian looked at Bellucci, bent down, touched the floor, and when he raised his hand, he had a necklace on his hand.
"Shall I put it on for you, dear lady?"
Bellucci exhaled a long smoke ring, lazily twisted his neck, and silently watched Lin Tian without saying a word.
Lin Tian walked behind Bellucci, gently brushed aside her long hair, and tenderly put the necklace around her neck. Then, he moved his hands naturally.
About two hours later, Lin Tian received a phone call and then started cursing angrily.
"Larry, that bastard! We're leading 2-0, and he still has this curfew! FUXX! Damn it, he told me to go back right now! Monica, I'm sorry, I have to go now." Lin Tian looked at Bellucci, his face full of regret and reluctance.
Another perfect performance.
"How many times a month does your head coach get yelled at like this?" Bellucci lit a cigarette, looking at Lin Tian with a seductive air. "I think he's quite pitiful."
"Oh, right, here's your ticket." Decisively ignoring this somewhat risky topic, he took out the ticket Bird had prepared for him and handed it to Bellucci, saying, "See you at the game the day after tomorrow!"
Then, Lin Tian flew out of Bellucci's room almost as fast as he could.
Thirty minutes later, Lin Tian arrived at a villa in Los Angeles.
Skillfully vaulting over the back door and dodging reporters who might be there or not, Lin Tian, like a nighttime knight-errant, easily slipped into the dark interior of the villa.
"Stop, raise your hands, and stand in the corner with your hands behind your head, or I'll blow your head off!" Julie's cold voice came from behind Lin Tian.
Lin Tian dared not hesitate for even a moment!
At this point, he dared not joke around.
After all, he only has Mayweather's fighting skills, not Captain America's.
He understood very well the principle that a gun can be both fast and accurate within seven steps.
If Julie were to actually shoot him in the head, he would probably become the most pathetic transmigrator to die in all parallel universes. Lin Tian wanted to do what Cheng Ge had done, but he didn't want to experience the ending that Cheng Ge had gone through.
Lin Tian cautiously raised his hand, and after confirming that Julie behind him had relaxed her guard, he said, "Madam, I just saw you dropped something and wanted to help you pick it up."
When Lin Tian turned around, Julie recognized him and smiled. Then she threw the UTS-15 shotgun, which was said to be the most powerful shotgun in the world and capable of shattering a bull within 10 meters, onto the sofa.
What Lin Tian showed on his hand was a pair of beautiful earrings.
"Shall I put it on for you?" Lin Tian looked at Julie and smiled. "My dear Laura."
Yes, Laura!
The outfit that Jolie is wearing right now is the very one that made her a world-class action goddess!
A tight black tank top paired with shapely hot pants, a gun holster strapped to each thigh to hold a pistol, and a pair of black boots—anyone who has seen Tomb Raider would absolutely find this outfit irresistible!
"You recognize this!" Julie's eyes lit up with excitement. "Do you think this role will make me a star? I auditioned for so many rounds before finally getting this role! But I'm a little unsure about this kind of movie adapted from a video game."
"I've finally gotten to where I am today, and if this big-budget production flops..."
Lin Tian scooped up Julie and placed her on the table behind her, saying, "You will become the world's sexiest action goddess! You will become Hollywood's newest action queen!"
"I believe in you, and I believe you can become a huge star with this film! A top actress worldwide!"
"So, may I put the earrings on you now?"
After saying that, Lin Tian didn't wait for Laura to say anything more. He gently put the earrings on for her and whispered, "Lift it up a little, I'll help you take it off. No, you don't need to take off your boots, um, just keep them on..."
After a series of double ellipses, Lin Tian had already come out of Connery's room. Even with Lin Tian's amazing physical fitness, he was feeling a little hungry at this moment.
He hadn't eaten anything all day except for the airplane meal on the plane. He played basketball for two hours, went shopping, and then used his space-time dual-elemental secret technique. From noon to night, he was really hungry.
"Natalie, can you cook?" Lin Tian opened the car door, got into the car the team had rented for them, and took out the last exquisite brooch from the jewelry set.
"Cooking? What's that?" Portman's answer was simple and direct.
"So, are you having pizza?"
"eat!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian drove to a random pizza shop, bought a few pizzas, and then drove to Portman's house.
"Ma'am, your takeout has arrived."
To avoid repeating the mistake of having a gun pointed at his head, Lin Tian dared not do anything reckless again. The mature Julie could resist pulling the trigger, but what if the young Portman did?
"Uncle, you're here!" Portman smiled as he opened the door and ushered Lin Tian into his home.
"Ma'am, you dropped something, may I pick it up for you?"
Yes, the same words, as long as they work!
Then use it again and again!
Where did Lin Tian learn this line from?
"Catch Me If You Can"? Anyway, in the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio and his father both used this trick to fool their life partners.
Lin Tian felt that although he didn't need a life partner, this move was definitely the right one!
Portman's eyes lit up when he saw the brooch, and he excitedly puffed out his chest, saying, "Put it on for me!"
Wow, this young lady is something else, so youthful, energetic, and radiant.
However, seeing Portman standing tall and proud, Lin Tian quietly put the brooch away.
Wearing it now could easily cause an accidental injury. If my hand gets cut, I won't be able to play ball anymore.
I'll bring it later, I'll bring it later!
Let's get down to business first!
That night, Lin Tian did not leave Portman's house, not because he favored one over the other, but because Portman had already made a reservation.
Well, actually, Lin Tian didn't know whether Portman had actually made a reservation or not; anyway, she said that Lin Tian had agreed to it.
Since she said Lin Tian agreed, then let's agree.
It's just a little girl, let's comfort her.
"Uncle, you didn't even come to the movie theater with me! Everyone else had a boyfriend at the premiere, and I had to go in hand-in-hand with Kayla, it was so embarrassing." Portman lay on Lin Tian, playing with the brooch, and protested, "So you have to keep your promise to me!"
"Mmm, definitely, definitely." Lin Tian's brain was racing at this moment, but unfortunately, none of the talents he drew enhanced his brain, so he still couldn't remember what he had promised Portman!
"You didn't come to the Oscars, you didn't come to the Saturn Awards, we've invited you so many times!" Portman said, sounding more and more aggrieved, her little mouth pouting.
"Did you win an award?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
He genuinely couldn't recall any of the awards Star Wars had received.
"No." Portman's little face puffed up again, but only for a moment. Lin Tian didn't even have time to poke it; he poked it with his hand. Her little face returned to normal, and she became happy again. "But no one else won either. We got several Oscar nominations, and we didn't win any of them!"
"And it's not just the Oscars! At the Saturn Awards a few days ago, we had six or seven nominations, and we only won one for Best Visual Effects and one for Best Costume Design."
"You seem very happy." Lin Tian looked at Portman and empathized with the little girl's inexplicable happiness.
As the saying goes, I'm afraid my brother won't do well, but I'm even more afraid he'll be driving a Land Rover.
If we're going to both fail to get nominated, then let's all fail to get nominated! How wonderful, how incredibly happy!
"What about tomorrow's MTV Movie Awards? How many have we been nominated for?"
"Two! One is Parker's best villain, and the other is you." Portman's eyes lit up with a smile: "Best fight scene! You probably don't know, but during the premiere, those two minutes of you fighting had the whole theater going wild!"
"Cheers, applause, and some people even stood up and shouted 'Charge, Galactic Empire!'"
"But I'm a Jedi Knight, aren't I? What I'm supposed to take down is the Galactic Empire, isn't it?" Lin Tian scratched his head. He hadn't seen Star Wars in his previous life. As someone who grew up watching Hong Kong kung fu movies, he really couldn't stand watching this kind of movie where kids play house with lightsabers.
Jedi Knights! Saviors of the galaxy! Reputed to be the strongest fighting force in the entire galaxy!
The fight itself wasn't as entertaining as the argument between Old Wang next door and his wife over whether to eat green beans or tomatoes for dinner, which escalated into them swinging brooms at each other!
"Anyway, you have a very high chance of winning the award! Everyone says that this scene is the greatest action scene in Hollywood in recent years! 1 against 100, sir! You are really strong." Portman leaned on Lin Tian, looking like a fangirl.
"But I didn't win an Oscar, did I? Speaking of which, who got the Oscar for Best Action Choreography this year?"
"Hahaha, finally there's something you don't know." Portman sat up smugly, looking at Lin Tian: "Because the Oscars don't have a Best Action Scene award, nor does it have a so-called Best Action Choreography award."
How embarrassing!
Even with Lin Tian's thick skin, being exposed like this would make his blood flow faster, causing a rapid increase in blood supply to a certain area in a short period of time.
That is, blushing.
In such situations, ordinary people would blush, stammer, feel embarrassed, and then quickly change the subject.
But who is Master Lin?
A time traveler! A cheat code! And a shameless scumbag.
Therefore, Lin Tian quickly controlled the direction of blood flow and adjusted the location where the sense of urgency occurred.
The next day, Lin Tian returned to the team to report for duty and attended the team's tactical meeting. After the meeting ended at 6 p.m., Lin Tian changed into a suit and left again.
I arrived at the place I had arranged to meet Portman.
What Lin Tian saw was Portman, who was dressed in a white dress, radiating youthful charm, and Knightley, who was standing next to Portman in a black dress, looking more and more like a young woman, and looking at Lin Tian with a hint of resentment.
Is this girl jealous that I didn't go to her room?
That's illegal!
Can't we wait until it's legal? There's plenty of time!
As for the others?
Lin Tian nodded and greeted them. He was too lazy to chat with director Lucas, lead actor Liam Neeson, and Ewan McGregor one by one. Today was just to accompany the young girl to make an appearance, not to build relationships. If she really wanted to act in the future, they could talk again.
We're not familiar with each other yet, so a simple greeting is all we need to do.
"MXXX! FXXX!" Lin Tian didn't want to talk, but someone else did. MF Man Samuel Jackson walked over laughing: "Who's this? Who's this? Lin, you actually came here? Don't you have a game against the Lakers tomorrow?"
"You don't think you can score 13 points in 35 seconds every game, do you? Miracles don't always happen, and you can't always beat us!"
Wow, Lakers fans!
"Yes, miracles don't happen every game, so you can't possibly play a third game in a row until garbage time." Lin Tian's mouth never holds back. He retorted directly, "So you'll lose by 20 points tomorrow night!"
"MXXX! FXXX!" Jackson continued, as if he couldn't speak without swearing, "You're too arrogant, Lin! We'll beat you up tomorrow night! We'll definitely beat you up! Shaq and Kobe will show you what the strongest duo in Los Angeles is all about!"
"Yes, yes, they are the strongest duo in Los Angeles, and they are the strongest in the West too." Lin Tian shrugged. "But it's useless, we are an Eastern Conference team."
"Hey, Lin." Lin Tian was just arguing with Jackson when a familiar voice called out to him from behind. Lin Tian turned around and finally remembered what he had done wrong.
Tonight is a fucking Hollywood star-studded party!
While the MTV Movie Awards may not be as prestigious as the Oscars, on such an occasion, aside from the truly top-tier stars, almost any celebrity with a name and a presence in Los Angeles will definitely show up!
For example, right now, Lin Tian saw Bellucci, who had just started his journey in Hollywood.
"I thought your team meeting would go on until 10 p.m. If I had known it would end so early, I would have invited you to join me." Bellucci said, moving his neck slightly to show off his necklace.
"I acted in Star Wars, you know." Lin Tian remained calm and composed, showing no nervousness or embarrassment whatsoever. "George Lucas is my favorite and most admired director. He invited me, so I had to come! Fortunately, Larry also likes George, so after hearing about it, he gave me a temporary leave."
Without a second thought, Lin Tian pulled Lucas next to him to take the fall.
Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, the shrewd old man Lucas wished he could expose Lin Tian on the spot!
He's talking nonsense! He's slandering me! I didn't invite this guy, or rather, I didn't invite him! And he calls me his most respected director? What kind of decent person, upon meeting their most respected person, just nods and says hello, without saying a single word more?
Guixin!
However, to put it simply, every old guy in Hollywood who has reached Lucas's level is either a top-tier scoundrel or an accomplice of a top-tier scoundrel.
nice guy?
Anyway, in Hollywood, a place of fame and fortune, there are definitely fewer good people than a monk's head.
So Lucas immediately chimed in, "Yeah, Lin missed the Oscars and the Saturn Awards. I talked to him for ages before he finally decided to come to the MTV Movie Awards! I only got Lin's call this afternoon, it was a complete surprise!"
You old geezer, I don't believe you for a second.
Bellucci resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Lucas, maintaining his charm and elegance. He stepped forward, shook hands with Lucas, gave a brief introduction and self-promotion, exchanged a few pleasantries, and was just about to leave when another discordant voice appeared.
"Lin, you're here too!" Julie, dressed in a bright red dress and high heels that made her already long legs look even more perfect, stood there, looking at Lin Tian, then at Bellucci, and then at Portman.
We're all old friends!
"I invited Lin here, and it wasn't easy to get him here!" This time, the old rogue Lucas didn't need Lin Tian to say anything more; he directly covered for him.
What is the tacit understanding between thugs? This is it.
However, Lucas was now a little envious of Lin Tian.
The three girls, each with their own distinct style, are all top-notch.
Lin's aesthetic sense is very comprehensive and excellent!
And then? Then Lucas admired Lin Tian even more.
"Yes, yes, Lin is someone I invited. He's a good friend of mine and an indispensable member of our crew." Lucas shrugged, answering proactively without the girl even having to ask.
Connery arrived as well.
We're really all one family.
"Perhaps I came at the wrong time?" Connery tilted his head and looked at Lin Tian.
"No, you've come at just the right time." Lin Tian shrugged, almost as if he was about to reach out and pull all four girls into his arms at the same time.
It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't dare.
After all, his cheat code doesn't have any ability to protect against woodcutters.
However, at this moment, although Lin Tian did not reach out to embrace all the girls, the girls had already begun their battle.
Bellucci placed his hand under his neck, Julie kept smoothing her hair to reveal her earrings, Portman puffed out his chest to show off his brooch, and Connery raised his hand, waving his wrist to greet people.
then……
A pair of earrings, a necklace, a brooch, and a bracelet.
The design concept, shape, color scheme, and materials used are all ingenious!
Of the girls, only Portman, who had just come of age, didn't know much about luxury jewelry and couldn't tell at a glance that the pieces were a set.
But what level are the other three girls?
I recognized it at a glance.
These four things aren't a set. I'll take my legs off and give them to Lin Tian to use as a rolling pin!
But the person who was most upset at this moment was not the four people involved, but Knightley, who was ignored by everyone.
What are you doing!
I'm here too!
I'm a girl too, I've had my share of ambiguous relationships, I can do it too!
Come on, you bastard, look me in the eye, attack me! I'm ready! Let's have a good fight!
Unfortunately, Knightley's eagerness was ignored by everyone, including her best friend Portman, who disregarded the 15-year-old.
The girls all know that Lin Tian has a bottom line.
Although not many, they do exist.
This girl, who clearly hadn't started developing yet, wasn't his type, nor was she his target.
No matter what happens in the future, for now, this girl is no match for him!
However, Knightley wasn't alone, because the entire Star Wars creative team was also watching the show, including Liam Neeson, Samuel L. Jackson, Lucas, and others, all quietly gathering around to see if there would be any further developments.
Even though all sorts of bizarre things happen in Hollywood every day, a scene like today is still quite rare.

Lin Tianze exclaimed: "Look? What are you looking at! What's so interesting! What good thing is this?"
I won't look. I'm not going to look at it, not even a single glance.
Quietly, Lin Tian withdrew from the core area of the battle and ran away.
Of course, they didn't really run away completely.
Just stay away from trouble!
Tonight, there are only two good places to stay away from trouble!
In the men's restroom, and in front of the media.
In front of the media, young women who are in the prime of their careers definitely need to be more reserved!
"Lin? What are you doing here?" The reporters were stunned when they saw Lin Tian, who had come to them and stood right in the middle of a group of reporters.

Faced with this unexpected gift, the reporters, who were still hesitating about who to interview, immediately rushed over and surrounded Lin Tian.
In the eyes of reporters, this NBA's number one star, and Los Angeles's current number one public enemy, is courting death; he must be written out of the story!
