I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.

"Lin Bei..."

After the competition, Lin Bei was brought in front of CCTV's cameras, and the reporter interviewing him was Zhang Zijiao.

Looking at Lin Bei, who was covered in sweat but had bright eyes, Xiao Zhang almost blurted out his private nickname, "Brother Lin Bei."

The word "brother" was on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back, though her tone couldn't hide her affection.

Two days ago, Lin Bei gave Xiao Zhang an exclusive interview about racial discrimination, which helped Xiao Zhang firmly establish himself on CCTV.

Now, everyone in the Chinese media knows that Zhang Zijiao was able to dig up inside information from Lin Bei that was unknown to outsiders.

The post-match interview officially began after Xiao Zhang gave an overly sweet greeting.

"I've evolved again in this match? That's true," Lin Bei wiped the sweat from his face, his tone calm yet confident.

"I've found more tricks to help me establish myself in the NBA, and I'm more mature in both defense and playmaking than before."

When asked about his feud with the Heat, Lin Bei waved his hand, his tone much calmer: "Actually, it's nothing, they just cut me before the season started."

In fact, I think it's a good thing, because after leaving the Heat, I got more opportunities with the Warriors, which led to my performance today.

When asked about his conflict with LeBron James, he couldn't help but make a joke, but he wasn't overly critical: "Me and LeBron James? There's even less to say about that."

Although he was indeed petty, he forced the team to cut me just because of a dunk and the video I posted on Twitter.

But I can understand. I did make a joke that was beyond my control, so it's reasonable for James to get angry about it.

Xiao Zhang also asked about Boggart, and Lin Bei almost let it slip:

"Bogut... Bogut is joining the Warriors? I know about it, but I don't think it will change much. No one can take my starting position!"

Lin Bei's post-game remarks served as a way to defuse the tension between him and the Heat and James.

He readily admitted that he was partly to blame for his departure from the Heat, but that it was certainly not entirely his fault.

James's stinginess is something that must be criticized.

The Heat have a big problem: they lack backbone. They back down as soon as James puts pressure on them.

But now, neither James's stinginess nor the Heat's cowardly attitude towards the foreign monk is relevant to Lin Bei.

His position with the Warriors is secure, and that alone is enough.

If we have to say he has some reason to rant and rave about the Heat and James after the game, perhaps making the headlines is one of them.

If Lin Bei were to launch into a tirade against the Heat and James right now, he could actually make a headline.

But that's not Lin Bei's personality. He can naturally clash with those domineering opponents on the court, like Howard before, just for the sake of getting a good headline.

You could also make headlines by drinking Scarlett's bathwater.

But he would never go against his conscience and go around putting others down to portray himself as a difficult person to get along with.

Therefore, after such a resounding victory, he chose to calm down and stop stirring up the war of words between himself, the Heat, and James.

……

Lin Bei underestimated the impact of this battle. He spoke his mind to CCTV without reservation.

In the locker room after the game, he spoke to reporters from North America, not entirely candid about everything, but his words implied:

"I stopped caring about the Heat cutting me a long time ago. I'm doing great in the Bay Area now, and on the contrary, I should thank the Heat..."

If we had to point out any outrageous behavior on his part, it would be a tweet he posted after the game:

"Thank you Miami Heat, thank you Pat Riley, thank you LeBron James... thank you for the win!"

Although the tweet was full of sarcasm, it also had a strong sense of humor.

Lin Bei himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it; it was just a little joke after winning the game.

But the next morning, he still received a notification from the system—[Valid headline +1]

Lin Bei's good routine allowed him to be full of energy early in the morning.

He got up and first checked the homepages of online media such as ESPN and BR on his computer. Sure enough, they all had reports about him.

ESPN: "The player waived by the Heat racked up 15 points, 22 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 block, leading his team to a crushing victory over the Heat!"

That's right, Lin Bei actually had 22 rebounds in the last game. When the team was leading by 20 points, he broke the 20-rebound mark and played for a while longer, grabbing two more rebounds.

BR (Bleacher Report): "LBJ, do you regret it? Pat Riley, do you regret it? The Heat's final piece of the puzzle for winning the championship was destroyed by yourselves!"

Needless to say, BR is BR; its aggressiveness is off the charts, and naturally, its popularity is off the charts as well.

And TA: "Best Lin's return with 22 rebounds in a single game dealt another blow to the Heat, and their biggest weakness was still exposed."

The Heat's biggest weakness is their center position. Roy Hibbert alone could dominate the Heat, let alone Lin Bei now.

Of course, a large part of the reason for the Warriors' victory was that the Heat's rhythm was completely disrupted by Bosh's performance of "dealing with" Lin Bei at the beginning of the game, and then they ran into a center like Lin Bei who was very effective against the Heat.

The Heat trailed by nearly 20 points after only three quarters, and suffered a crushing defeat.

If the Warriors were to play the Heat again, the outcome would be unpredictable.

With Lin Bei on the team, the Warriors are one of the best counters to the Heat.

Whether they can win depends on their form.

Lin Bei was featured on the homepage and headline of several major online media outlets.

In addition, CBS and Fox Sports, two major television networks, were reportedly also discussing the Warriors' home victory over the Heat last night.

Thus, Lin Bei managed to gather yet another valid headline.

"We still need to create buzz and engage in verbal battles...that's how we keep making headlines."

Lin Bei shook his head. He wasn't the type to provoke others. For example, his argument with Paul during the season opener was just a few words exchanged during and after the game, and he never brought it up again.

At most, he talks a bit more than others (referring to trash talk with opponents on the court, frequent tweets, etc.) and does some pranks (referring to tweeting after dunking on LeBron James). Other than that, he is no different from an ordinary person.

Another valid headline in hand, Lin Bei entered the system interface and started drawing.

[Option 1: Clint Capela's layup attributes.]

Option 2, Talent: City Wall.

Option 3: Ability-boosting vocabulary pack.

This time, among the three options, there isn't one that's obviously the correct answer.

Lin Bei hesitated for a moment. Option one: further strengthen finishing under the basket.

Option 2: Improve lower body strength, enhance the quality of pick-and-roll screens, and increase the intensity of positioning under the basket;

Option three allows you to add a new attribute to the three-point attribute, increasing its strength.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Bei eliminated option three.

Adding another keyword to the three-point list probably won't make much of a difference.

He then eliminated option two.

His current strength is sufficient, so it doesn't matter if the quality of his cover and the strength of his positioning are slightly lacking.

"Let's further strengthen our finishing around the basket and improve our scoring ability. This will be reflected in our five basic statistics, and that's a real improvement."
