Chapter 17: Pippen Lost Everything!
Therefore, when Lin Tian walked off the court, the fans in the stadium actually shouted in unison!
"We want forests! We want forests!"
"Phil! Put Lin on the field!"
"Let him show off a few more!"
"Let him do another behind-the-back, between-the-legs bounce pass to Steve Kerr for a thunderous dunk!"
……
This kind of treatment, with the entire crowd cheering in unison, is something only Jordan could achieve on the entire Bulls team tonight, but Lin Tian conquered the incredibly discerning Chicago fans in just a few minutes!
As Lin Tian stepped off the court and sat on the bench, Rodman immediately walked over with a grin and said, "Congratulations, Lin! Congratulations on officially joining Chicago!"
"How about I help you become a man tonight?"
"Dennis, I'm sorry, you're a good person, but I'm not interested in men! I'm even disgusted by them!" Lin Tian rejected Rodman's offer without even thinking.
Lin Tian could swear to God that he had absolutely no interest in this older brother with seven-colored hair.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't like men either." Rodman grinned mischievously, putting his arm around Lin Tian's shoulder. "But I know exactly what men like!"
"Dennis, don't you think your explanations are making things weirder and scarier?" Pippen poked his head over from a distance and said, "Lin, it's your first time playing. Tonight, Michael's treating, the whole team has to come, it's our tradition!"
"In Chicago, only Michael is allowed to treat us, and nobody is allowed to compete with him! Who told him to make so much money a year? He should treat us!" Pippen added.
Just by looking at this guy's expression, you could tell he was starting to suffer over his child labor contract again.
This season, everyone's salaries haven't started to skyrocket yet, and the new broadcasting contract won't be signed until next summer, so Pippen's salary can still rank fourth in the team for the time being.
But next season, when the new big broadcasting deal is signed, when Jordan signs a new contract, and when the new contracts of Longley, Kukoc, and others take effect, Pippen's annual salary will plummet to sixth, seventh, or even lower on the team...
Looking across the entire league, while everyone's salaries have skyrocketed and even the most nobody in Pippen's eyes can get contracts worth 7-800 million or even over 1000 million, Pippen is still stuck with a cheap contract worth only around 260 million.
Given his abilities, it's somewhat ironic that he only earns around 200 million a year at this time.
But who is Jordan? He wouldn't tolerate Pippen at this point!
