Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 140 I still like your unruly look
When Sports Illustrated published this interview with NBA officials, it immediately caused heated discussion.

Many people who disliked Lin Yuan came forward and began to express their opinions:

"That's right. Lin Yuan is tall for an average person, but he's practically crippled when it comes to basketball. Anyone can easily block his shot."

"In basketball, the real speed is how fast you dribble the ball. What's the point of just running fast? Otherwise, all the sprint champions would have come to play basketball long ago."

"He's not tall enough, so he's just making do with his jumping ability. I wonder if Lin Yuan can dunk with the ball."

"Basketball is not football. It's a foul to hit someone in basketball!"

"Which top athlete's shooting technique hasn't been developed through hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of practice to develop that kind of muscle reflex? Has Lin Yuan ever endured that kind of hardship? How can he shoot accurately?"

"I'm just asking, among the players playing in the NBA, which Asian is the top one?"

Those who supported Lin Yuan were not to be outdone and fought back vigorously:

"Didn't you see Lin Yuan's precise passes in the rugby game? With that kind of power control, is it difficult to achieve a high shooting accuracy?"

"Lin Yuan is a god in the field of sports. You question him only because he is too modest."

"Who says there are no top Asians? I know a Chinese center is coming to the NBA.

He's 2'26" and has a lot of teams vying for him. He's definitely the top pick in this year's draft. "Then you'll see top Asian basketball players."

"You guys said the same thing before Lin Yuan played in the friendly rugby match. Why not just let him play a game?"

"Support! The best way to prove yourself is to fight a match. I believe Lin Yuan will do great!"

The heated debate has not only not cooled down Lin Yuan's popularity, but has continued to heat up.

Today, some North Americans may not know who the president is, but almost no one is unaware of Lin Yuan’s existence.

Of course, many people only know about Lin Yuan. As for whether they like him or what they think of him, that is another matter.

But this kind of fame is undoubtedly of great benefit to Lin Yuan.

In the face of public debate, after public opinion continued to ferment for a few days, a video appeared on the Internet, instantly ending all the arguments.

This video was shot in one continuous take, with absolutely no traces of editing.

In the video, Lin Yuan was wearing a white basketball jersey and standing on the midfield line of a basketball court.

He smiled and said, "Although I've been very busy with work recently, as a basketball enthusiast, I still have to find time to exercise."

"Guess if I can shoot the ball into the basket from the midfield line?"

"I don't believe it. I don't believe it." said the staff on the sidelines.

"Actually, I don't believe it either."

Lin Yuan said as he threw it casually.

The basketball in his hand drew a graceful curve in the air.

"Shh!"

A clean and neat hollow shot into the net.

"You are so lucky, right? I don't believe it, try again." The staff continued.

"When I said I didn't believe it, I meant I didn't believe I could only score in midfield."

So Lin Yuan on the screen took two steps back and immediately jumped up to shoot.

"Shh!"

Another beautiful hollow goal.

"Give me another ball," Lin Yuan said as he took two steps back. Lin Yuan, receiving the pass, jumped up and shot again.

"Shh!"

Not surprisingly, another empty-net goal.

Going all three in three attempts is definitely not just luck, it is a reflection of absolute strength.

At this time, the staff asked: "You are really good, are you going to play in the NBA?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "My main job is an actor after all, but if someone questions me, it forces me to prove myself."

After saying that, he picked up a ball and continued walking out of the court.

He didn't even turn around until he was about to walk out of the court, but just threw the ball with a backhand.

Then he continued walking forward without looking back, leaving only a handsome back.

Under the astonished gaze of the staff, the basketball drew a beautiful high-throw trajectory.

"Shh!"

This sound seemed to strike everyone's heart, and also shattered some people's luck.

After this video was uploaded, the Internet immediately went crazy.

In just 24 hours, the total number of views across various channels reached more than four million.

"F*CK! How did Lin Yuan do this? Is he still a human being?" exclaimed a netizen.

"I know! Lin Yuan must be using the magical oriental hidden weapon technique to shoot the ball!

Have you seen Lin Yuan's currently released film "Hero"? In the post-credits scene, he hits three apples simultaneously with three coins from over 20 meters away! This person must be a fan of Lin Yuan.

"Hero? I've heard of this movie. It seems to be the current box office champion, but I'm not interested in foreign-language films so I didn't go to see it. Now I want to go to the cinema and buy a ticket."

"Is there still anyone who doubts that Lin Yuan can't play basketball? I really hope to see Lin Yuan appear on the court."

"I'm the opposite of you. I don't want to see Lin Yuan playing basketball at all. He'll ruin basketball. You don't want to see someone just shoot the ball as soon as they receive it at the baseline, right?"

"What you said does make sense, but if he really wants to play basketball, no one can stop him. You can't just refuse him the right to play because his shooting is too good, right?"

"Lin Yuan made it very clear. His main job is acting. If he started playing basketball, it must be because someone questioned him and forced him to prove himself!"

Soon, the NBA officially issued a statement.

The statement said that it had never questioned Lin Yuan's talent on the basketball court. In fact, the NBA has always been fond of Lin Yuan and had already made preparations to support Lin Yuan's new movie.

As for the official who questioned Lin Yuan, he had already started the resignation procedures a month ago.

His remarks are merely his personal opinions and do not represent the official attitude of the NBA.

Now that the official has completely left his job, there is no possibility of holding him accountable.

After seeing the statement, Tom Brady smiled and said, "I suddenly feel much better. Why would I mess with that guy?"

The head coach on the side replied: "Yeah, don't mess with him, just keep him away from sports!"

"Lin Yuan's movie is about to be released, and I booked a show for the whole team to watch it," said Tom Brady.

"The billboards at our home stadium are already covered with promotional posters for Pirates of the Caribbean," the head coach also said.

"I wish him a prosperous film career!"

"May God bless him! He will always be a big hit at the box office!"
