Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 79 The Magician Discusses Heroes Over Wine

So at this moment, Lin Tian was actually a little uneasy.

Firstly, of course, it was because the magician suddenly praised him to the skies after the game, which made Lin Tian feel somewhat unworthy of it!

He knows his own situation best. Although he is playing well now, in terms of absolute strength, he probably can't even be ranked in the top ten among point guards in the league, let alone have the title of the best point guard in the league!

Of course, Lin Tian was full of confidence that he would become the number one point guard in the future, and he had no doubts or questions about it!

However, feeling unworthy of this honor was not the main reason why Lin Tian was restless.

The most important reason was that look in Lin Tian's eyes during the magician's match; he was genuinely nervous.

That was truly overflowing with homoerotic tension, making Lin Tian, ​​a man covered in burly men, stare at him!

If it weren't for the 200 experience points before the end of the match, Lin Tian really wouldn't have wanted to come!

At the very least, you shouldn't meet a magician in a dimly lit place with an ambiguous atmosphere where couples are whispering intimately!

Lin Tian didn't have to wait long. Less than five minutes later, the Magician walked into the private room with his usual smile and sat opposite Lin Tian: "Have you been waiting long? I wasted some time on the interview. I think you heard what I said after the game, right?"

"I heard you." Lin Tian nodded, thinking that since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it, since the fat guy couldn't beat him anyway. "But I feel a little unworthy of it."

"You lack confidence? You think you can't do it?"

"No, I'm sure I can become the best point guard in the league, I'm sure I can become the best player in the league! That's why I joined the league." Lin Tian said truthfully, "But I know, not now, I'm still far from that point."

"Confidence and self-awareness, very good! I think I didn't misjudge you!" Magic Johnson looked at Lin Tian and asked, "Who do you think is the best point guard in the league right now?"

"Seattle's Payton, excellent on both offense and defense, could he be considered number one?"

Magic Johnson scoffed, "His playing style is utterly uninspired, ugly, and awkward. He relies on aggressive defense to dominate. How can he call himself number one? Ridiculous!"

"Dallas Kidd, fresh out of college, is brimming with talent; could he be considered number one?"

The magician continued, "He's more into nightclubs than playing basketball, his offense is so bad it's unbearable to watch, a third-rate player!"

"Golden State's Tim, with his excellent ball-handling and passing, and unparalleled crossover dribbling skills, could he be considered number one?"

"Can't defend, can run but can't stop; leading a team to the lottery—how can that be called number one?"

"John from Salt Lake City, with his iron will and consistent stats, is he arguably number one?"

"How can someone who is dirty and despicable, relies on dirty tricks for defense, depends entirely on open shots for offense, and relies on strong teammates for passing, be considered number one?"

"Phoenix's Kevin Jensen possesses unparalleled leadership qualities, explosive athleticism, and can pass, shoot, drive, and dunk—can he be considered number one?"

"Unable to lead Barkley, content to be second best, but physically past 30, his peak is over, no longer enough to dominate the league!"

"Orlando Penny, with his elegant playing style, handsome looks, and ability to defeat Jordan in the playoffs, could he be considered number one?"

"Using the name of a point guard to play the role of a shooting guard is hardly commendable!"

"Can players like Toronto's Damon, Indiana's Mark, and Portland's Strickland be considered number one?"

"Hahaha!" The magician finally couldn't hold back any longer, slamming his fist on the table and laughing loudly, "These people are not worth mentioning! Not a single one of them deserves to be called number one!"

"In that case, I really don't know." Lin Tian shook his head. Actually, he already knew what the magician was going to say, but he was more than happy to be the straight man for the senior and make him happy, and there might even be some benefits to be gained!

"He can be called the best point guard in the league."

The magician pointed to himself, then to Lin Tiandao, and said, "It's just the two of us!"

As soon as the magician finished speaking, the door to the private room suddenly opened, and a waiter peeked in and asked, "Would you like to order now?"

"Order now." The magician turned around and noticed that Lin Tian had dropped his chopsticks on the floor. He asked curiously, "Why did you drop your chopsticks? Were you startled by the sound of the waiter opening the door?"

Lin Tian picked up his chopsticks from the ground and said, "No, no, I just suddenly felt like I should have dropped my chopsticks! Let's order, let me see what their signature dishes are!"

Lin Tian put the chopsticks back on the table and then opened the menu that the waiter had handed him.

"Sir, our signature dish is steamed bok choy with potatoes, which is basically a must-order! If you want to taste the most authentic Chinese flavor, I suggest you try our tomato and vegetable dumplings! They're also a very popular dish. Also, we recently added a fusion dish, Italian pasta stir-fried with chives! It's quite good."

"Hmm..." Lin Tian looked at the menu, which was full of fancy, messy, and incomprehensible dishes. He really wanted to get up and leave, but the magician next to him had already ordered several dishes with great enthusiasm, so he could only force himself to sit there and continue looking at the menu.

Lin Tian felt that he was facing the most difficult choice he had ever made since his rebirth!

This could very well be the most significant and impactful choice he has ever made in his life!

If you make the wrong choice, you might die!

Finally, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and ordered a tomato tofu burger and a serving of chili dumplings, then quickly put the menu down.

This is so offensive, it's really too offensive!

I never want to eat Chinese food in America again in my life!

Lin Tian didn't know what the magician's taste was, but seeing him enjoying the pile of food on the table in front of him that could be anything but Chinese food, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and tried a bite of the tomato tofu burger.

Ok……

not dead!

Very good!

Is this what it feels like to survive a disaster?

The magician suddenly looked up at Lin Tian, ​​who was crying tears of joy at surviving, and said with a smile, "How was it, Lin? Did it taste like home? This restaurant also has a branch in Los Angeles, and it's the best and most authentic Chinese food I can think of! If you like it, I can give you my membership card, so you can come here often!"

"No, no, no, no!" Lin Tian quickly waved his hand and refused, "No need, just tell me, why did you call me here this time?"

"Didn't I say I wanted you to be the number one point guard? So I wanted to ask what you think." Magic Johnson even seemed a little embarrassed as he touched his bald head. "You said before the season that you wanted to train with me after it ended. Were you serious? Now it's just the two of us. You don't need to lie to me."

"If you're scared, or if you're just saying that for show, I don't mind! So even if you reject me, I'm willing to help you find someone else to train with, like Isaiah Thomas? I have a very good relationship with him too."
