Chapter 12 The Iron Triangle Meeting! Jordan's Strong Support!
Chapter 12 The Iron Triangle Meeting! Jordan's Strong Support!
On the very night that Lin Tian fought with the trio, Klaus's office was still brightly lit.
In the office were Krause, Jackson, Jordan, Rodman, and Pippen—the five most influential and highest-ranking figures on the team.
They're holding a meeting at this time, and there's clearly only one issue they're discussing!
"I think we should immediately suspend Lin and get rid of him as soon as possible! This kind of explosive guy doesn't deserve to stay on our team!" Klaus's voice was completely inconsistent with his physique, very sharp, and made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Why send him away?" Rodman was the first to spread his hands and say, "Why let go of a ruthless guy who can take down three professional players in two minutes without even a scratch? Are we going to let him come back and beat up Michael next time? Keep him! That way, when we face Charlotte, New York, and Utah, we won't have to worry about them at all!"
"Especially that old bastard Malone! If Lin and I team up, we can beat him until he retires!" Rodman chuckled wickedly, clearly imagining the wonderful scene of himself and Lin Tian beating up Malone, his face full of longing!
"Dennis! What we need is someone who can attack outsiders, not his own people. If he can't even tell the difference, what use is he?" Klaus spread his hands, still unwilling to let Lin Tian stay.
After all, Lin Tian was the one he strongly advocated for. It was one thing for him to fight with three extras, but what if this kid went up against Jordan one day? Then his job as general manager would be over. Not only would it be over, but he would also be ridiculed by the entire industry!
Klaus had already heard that Lin Tian and Jordan had a terrible relationship, and that the two were always at odds during training.
This time bomb has to be removed! Klaus doesn't want to become an idiot!
Although he really wanted to see Jordan get beaten up, that person absolutely could not be anyone on the team, and even less could it be anyone connected to him!
"I heard Ron and the others tell me the whole story, and honestly, any normal person would have been tempted to fight," Pippen suddenly said. "It's just that most people don't have Lin's skills! I don't think Lin is primarily at fault in this matter."
Seeing that both star players supported Lin Tian, and Jackson was his arch-rival, Krause had no choice but to place his bets on Jordan, who had veto power.
He looked at Jordan and said, "McClean, I heard that you and Lin have been very disrespectful to you, always going against you in practice? What do you think? Should we keep this ticking time bomb or trade him?"
Krause looked at Jordan, waiting for him to speak.
He felt that as long as Jordan wasn't an idiot, he would definitely support him and get rid of Lin Tian, this bomb.
"This kid's not bad! He's tough. I haven't seen someone I've beaten so many times and still can't destroy. I think we should keep him! Besides, more importantly, he knows exactly who to punch!"
Jordan shrugged and said something Krause absolutely didn't want to hear.
"In the past two weeks, I've broken about eight of his ribs, but that kid hasn't retaliated even once. Of course, I've also suffered a lot of injuries on my waist and back from his scratches and claws! If you ask me, he's an absolute ruthless thug. He and Dennis together could make 100% of the league's opponents tremble!"
"That's it, Michael! That's it!" Rodman laughed heartily, flashing his big gold teeth and saying smugly, "If you ask me, you're the one who's most nervous right now! You and this kid have clashed so many times, practically hurling insults at each other every day. If he ever loses his temper and attacks you, you definitely won't be a match for him, right?"
"If I were you, I would start repairing my relationship with him tomorrow, become good buddies, and never talk trash to him again, hahaha."
"Shut the hell up, Dennis." Jordan's previously decent expression vanished in an instant.
Rodman is such a despicable guy!
Every word he says seems harmless, yet every single one of them can drive you crazy with anger!
What do you mean I, Michael Jordan, am nervous? What do you mean I'll never trash talk to him again?
I've taken down all the superstars in this league, why would I be afraid of a rookie?
Okay, I'm still scared.
Jordan swallowed hard, thinking of the Brown trio's miserable situation.
If it were him, let alone knocking out three people without taking any damage in two minutes, he would be considered incredibly lucky and capable if he didn't get knocked out within two minutes.
After all, those are three professional players who play in the top league!
Regardless of the circumstances, the Bulls' Big Three all unanimously chose to support Lin Tian!
Krause never expected that a second-round pick would receive the support of three team bigwigs!
As for Jackson.....
Klaus wasn't going to ask him. Klaus knew better than anyone how much this ever-smiling old fox longed to kick him out of his current position and take his place.
Klaus would rather listen to the advice of maggots in the toilet than hear a single word from Jackson; he simply filtered Jackson out.
However, Jackson didn't take it to heart at all. He remained harmless, smiling with his eyes narrowed, clearly not prepared to express any opinion.
However, although he didn't speak, Jackson's thoughts were the same as the trio's!
And he also saw something they hadn't seen!
Throughout the fight, he first pretended nothing had happened and turned to leave, then suddenly turned back to the shower room and locked the door, all to prevent anyone from disturbing his revenge.
That strategic vision, that ability to analyze tactics in an instant—wow!
What a treasure!
"Since you all want Lin to stay, fine, I won't trade him, and I'll get rid of Brown and the other two guys as soon as possible! No matter what, I won't let people who have fought be on the same team." Klaus knew that the matter was settled and there would be no turning back, so he simply stopped insisting.
"But all the punishments that are due will be handed down!"
"Of course, how much to fine him, how many games to suspend him, it's up to me," Jordan shrugged. "But in practice, I have to keep going up against this little bastard! I refuse to believe I can't beat him!"
Lin Tian would never have known that on this night, he had the support of three team leaders, nor would he know that in Jordan's heart, he was already a little different from everyone else!
