Chapter 61 What is a textbook example of a scumbag?
"I'm really tempted." Connery suddenly smiled, still so bright, but Lin Tian could see that there was a trace of sadness in that brightness.
"Unfortunately, I spent the whole day talking to my agent, my company, and several sponsors I still work with. We talked all day long," Connery sighed. "They all felt that if it's just about having some fun, or even a real relationship, that's fine, but not like this."
Connery suddenly lowered his head and stopped looking at Lin Tian, saying, "I came here the day before yesterday for the scandal and the buzz, but now that I've gained a little bit of buzz, they're immediately telling me to cut ties. I don't know what they're thinking, but if I don't do this, I'll probably have to spend the rest of my life paying off breach of contract fees."
"Most importantly, my agent is getting me a role in a film, an art film. I've read the script, and it's the best script I've received in recent years, so..."
Hearing Connery say that, Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Tian didn't understand what Connery was saying either. He said Connery was going for an innocent image, but she had already played many roles and acted in films with explicit content. Besides, this was Hollywood. Serious dating, marriage, and even more outrageous things were never barriers for celebrities. They were doing all sorts of things!
But Lin Tian knew that as a scumbag who had made an agreement with Rodman to help him achieve his dream of becoming Rodman's successor, what he needed to do at this moment was neither to question why nor to express understanding.
Of course, you can't act like a domineering CEO and say, "I'll pay your penalty for breach of contract."
What a jerk should do at this moment is to smile and exude charm!
This is not an easy task; if you don't get the balance right or go too far, it will become greasy.
But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly evoked a strange and indescribable feeling in Connery's eyes.
A feeling as if I've missed out on the whole world.
Although the two of them had known each other for less than 48 hours, this was only their second meeting.
But some things really don't need any reason or logic.
Connery suddenly felt like crying, but reason and her yearning for acting made her suppress all her impulses. She simply smiled faintly and said, "Go warm up. You're going to be on stage tonight, right?"
"This might be the last time I see you play live. Can you give me a perfect performance to commemorate this moment?"
Lin Tian nodded. He didn't stay sitting there any longer, but stood up and walked towards the court.
He also wanted to give Connery a perfect impression.
but……
I have the will but not the ability!
Lin Tian couldn't remember how long he had played against Jordan and Pippen yesterday.
All he knew was that Jordan was off his game, making only 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter, while Pippen had 3 turnovers in the first quarter!
These two people behaved terribly!
The Bulls trailed the Clippers by 9 points in the first quarter, 18-27!
In the second quarter, Lin Tian stepped onto the court.
Before going on the court, Lin Tian suddenly remembered that he had read a lot of serious basketball novels in his previous life. In those novels, the protagonist would always appear like a hero at this time, dominating the game, catching up in the score, and ending the night perfectly with a game-winning shot or a new career high.
but……
Lin Tian was clearly not a decent person, and neither were his teammates. Even the basketball god in the dark was a damn scoundrel.
78: 100!
The Bulls lost by a whopping 22 points tonight!
Jordan scored only 20 points on 7-of-20 shooting, his worst game of the season!
Pippen only managed 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, while also committing 6 turnovers!
Lin Tian's performance was even worse than these two. He went 0-for-8 from the field and only managed a paltry 2 points and 3 assists. In his poor form, Jackson only gave him 11 minutes of playing time.
Tonight was not only the first time the Bulls had lost by more than 20 points this season, but it was also the worst and most disastrous game for Jordan, Pippen, and Lin Tian this season!
Phil Jackson had already lost patience with his team's poor performance in the third quarter. He seized an opportunity to rant at the referee, venting his frustration before receiving two technical fouls and leaving the court.
After such a huge defeat, the entire Bulls team was in a terrible mood. Everyone was shrouded in the shadow of failure. Almost no one spoke in the quiet locker room. Everyone was silently packing their things and leaving.
As for Lin Tian, after learning that the team would not return to Chicago until the next morning, Lin Tian once again shamelessly went to Jackson to ask for leave.
However, it was not found.
Who knows where Jackson went to vent his anger after leaving the court in the third quarter?
Perhaps she went to see Aunt Jenny?
And this clearly means that Lin Tian can do the same!
So after everyone left the locker room, Lin Tian calmly stood up, walked with practiced ease to the now empty underground parking lot, found a Ford Raptor that was completely different from the one he had driven last night, opened the door and jumped in.
Lin Tian was greeted by a warm and soft body.
"Why are you so late?" Connery's voice came, and he impatiently flipped over and pressed Lin Tian into the seat.
"We need to wait until everyone leaves. After all, starting tomorrow, I'll be telling all the interviewers that we have no relationship whatsoever." How could Lin Tian be willing to be subdued? Even in a small space, he managed to turn the tables and regain the upper hand.
"You're using this one game as a memento for me?" Connery struggled a few times but failed, so he simply lay down.
After Lin Tian completely took the initiative, he was no longer in a hurry. He straightened up and looked at Connery, saying, "Who was it that told me to come to the parking lot to find you in the third quarter? They even specified the parking space and license plate number clearly."
"It's just that we don't go public or date, it's not like we never see each other." Connery seemed a little embarrassed by Lin Tian's gaze. "I don't know why the atmosphere became so strange back then. Maybe you should go into acting. I think you have a lot of talent! You have the talent to move people's hearts instantly!"
"Even the worst actress can be drawn into the role by you!"
Lin Tian didn't respond to Connery's words. He hadn't thought about acting in movies; he preferred to take things seriously. But at this point, he didn't want to say anything more and decided to get to the point after saying his last sentence.
"Let's get a Hummer next time! They have so much more space!"
