I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.

After the incident broke out, Miami—

The lights were on in James's home as a party for the Heat's core members was underway.

Wade leaned back on the sofa with a wine glass in his hand, Bosh fiddled with the snacks on the table, and Heat captain Haslem and assistant coach David Fizdale were chatting quietly, the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable.

Just as everyone was chatting idly, LeBon, who had been holding his phone the whole time, suddenly let out a soft, questioning sound: "Hmm?"

James Jones, LeBron James's biggest admirer, immediately asked, "What happened, LeBron?"

LeBon chuckled lightly, feigning nonchalance, and said, "It's that kid from Auckland, he's caused trouble again."

The group then pressed him for details: "What did he do now?"

LeBon spread out his phone: "Here, see for yourselves."

Bosh leaned forward and glanced at it, then immediately exclaimed, "WTF! Beating up a teammate? This kid's insane!"

James Jones immediately chimed in, his tone tinged with deliberate sympathy: "I know Andrew Boggart. He's a very gentle man. I can't imagine what he's been through."

James didn't care at all whether Jones really knew Bogut. He shrugged indifferently, deliberately showing that he didn't care about Lin Bei at all.

But there was a hint of deliberate intent in his words: "That guy was a troublemaker to begin with. I've always felt that firing him was the right decision we ever made."

James said those words with extra emphasis.

Because during this period, Pat Riley had been giving him the cold shoulder.

Just a couple of days ago, Riley had an argument with LeBron over some tactical adjustments.

During the argument, Riley couldn't hold back and angrily berated LeBron: "Because of you, we lost Best Lin. He could have completely filled our weakest link..."

He concluded by pointing at LeBron: "If we still can't win the championship this season, you'll be the biggest culprit!"

LeBang felt a lump in his throat, but could not refute it.

The Heat's weakness at the center position is obvious to all, and Lin Bei's every outstanding performance for the Warriors is like a resounding slap in the face, one after another.

Now, he finally found a reason to retaliate.

Seeing this, James Jones quickly chimed in, "That's right, LeBron! A rebellious guy like him doesn't deserve to wear a Heat jersey. Cutting him was absolutely the right thing to do!"

Just then, Wade, who had been silent and watching quietly, suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking and he almost choked.

LeBron was baffled. He asked, "What are you laughing at, Dwayne?"

Wade finally managed to stop laughing, wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, and looked at James: "You just said that Best Lin is a troublemaker?"

LeBron nodded hesitantly, then Wade couldn't hold back and burst into laughter again. After laughing enough, he asked, "He's a troublemaker, so what are we?"

This time, Haslem couldn't help but laugh: "Pfft... LeBron, you should really think twice before you use your words next time. He's a troublemaker, so aren't we...?"

LeBron's face darkened, and he couldn't help but swear: "Shit!"

Wade, however, followed up on his profanity, adding, "That's right, it's shit..."

……

In Auckland, Lin Bei woke up but didn't receive the expected "+1 valid headline" notification.

He found it strange, and then looked through the authoritative media outlets listed by the system.

Then he realized that, besides those three places last night—

CBS may have missed out on getting the first scoop, as they didn't report on Lin Bei's case during prime time.

For online media, BR joined in the fun with its headline, while TA, which focuses more on football reporting, didn't. BR gained one authoritative headline, but is still one short.

Finally, both Sports Illustrated and Slam Dunk are weekly magazines, and the new issue won't be released until tomorrow.

"The NBA website is unlikely to report this as a front-page story, so the problem lies with CBS and TA..."

Getting a featured headline is actually quite difficult, since it requires being featured by five authoritative media outlets simultaneously.

Excluding the NBA's official website, only seven websites can provide real-time headline positions.

If even two of these seven media outlets fail to follow up, he will have no choice but to pin his hopes on the weekly or semi-weekly Sports Illustrated and Slam Dunk magazines.

The problem is that some headlines are time-sensitive, and they lose their original popularity once the time expires.

Lin Bei is a little nervous now. He still has a chance to get this effective headline, but everything depends on tomorrow's new issue of Sports Illustrated and Slam Dunk Magazine.

He then saw the Warriors' official announcement—

During yesterday's team practice, center Best Lin and Andrew Bogut got into a conflict. Bogut provoked Lin first, and Lin retaliated with excessive force...

After discussion by the team management, both players were fined $50,000 each as a deterrent.

As Lin Bei had predicted, the team's announcement only briefly mentioned the "fight," and the punishments were applied equally, with him and Bogut receiving the exact same amount of fines.

Lin Bei's eyes lit up: "Is Bodog not going to explode?"

As soon as the Warriors' penalty announcement came out, Bodog was bound to stand up and start criticizing.

If this guy can add fuel to the fire, then tomorrow's Sports Illustrated and Slam Dunk headlines are practically guaranteed.

At noon, Lin Bei boarded the team's private plane and flew to Phoenix.

During the journey, Bodog couldn't hold back any longer and posted a complaint on his Twitter account—

"I didn't fight back at all in this so-called mutual fight!"

I suffered extensive facial fractures from Best Lin's punch and am still in the hospital receiving treatment, yet the team punished both of us? Where is the fairness?

As soon as the plane landed, without Lin Bei even having to search for it, the reporters gathered at the airport told him: Bodog tweeted its accusations.

He glanced at the tweet and was about to respond to Bodog, but after thinking it over, he decided to let the dust settle for a while.

That night, in a game between the Warriors and the Suns in Phoenix, Lin Bei started again, and his opponent was Marcin Gortat, nicknamed "The Polish Hammer".

Facing this outstanding Polish veteran, Zhou Qi's predecessor, Lin Bei didn't have much success scoring under the basket.

They were also targeted from beyond the three-point line, making only one out of three three-point attempts.

Regarding rebounding, his positioning remains an issue, resulting in him grabbing far fewer rebounds.

However, since the team had no other center, he played for 37 minutes in this game, setting a new career high in playing time, and also made his first steal in his career.

最终得到11分13个篮板4个助攻1个抢断2个盖帽，数据表现其实并不差。

Beyond the data, his performance was even more outstanding. He stood directly inside the penalty area, turning it into a true no-fly zone.

Mark Jackson: "This guy is already an extremely qualified center."

Mike Malone then asked, "So, are we sure we want to keep him and find another deal to send Andrew Bogut away?"

Mark Jackson stated matter-of-factly, "What else? At least Best can still play, while Andrew Bogut is out for the season, not to mention Best is only 19 years old..."

"It's a pity we just got Andrew Bogut in the trade. If we try to get rid of him in another deal, we'll probably have to lower our price, right?"

Mike Malone sighed, and Mark Jackson echoed, "On the bright side, at least we got a center who perfectly fits my tactical requirements."

That's right, Lin Bei perfectly fits Mark Jackson's tactical requirements.

His defense and his playmaking ultimately helped the Warriors take a road victory from Phoenix.
