Chapter 740 Yes, we have one child!
Chapter 740 Yes, we have one child!
For more than two months, Lin Tian barely touched a basketball, let alone did any physical recovery, strength training, or anything else.
In addition, Lin Tian and Theron have been consuming countless tonics personally prepared by the old man during this period.
Without even weighing himself, Lin Tian knew that his weight had increased dramatically, and his competitive form was definitely not at its best!
With only two months left until the start of the new season and only one month left until the start of training camp, after Theron said that she could no longer lie around and needed to start working hard to get back in shape and look so she could get back to work, Lin Tian said that he would not lose either!
"Go ahead, Charitz, and do your best! Leave the home front to me; I'll continue to be a good father!"
Yes, the main focus is on lying down completely and relaxing completely.
For at least the past few months, Lin Tian has been completely devoted to Claire, this little angel.
Theron was too lazy to say anything more about Lin Tian's completely passive attitude.
However, since Theron was going to Los Angeles to work out and recover, it would be inconvenient for Claire and Lin Tian to stay on the farm in Dallas any longer.
So, in early September, Lin Tian and the others locked up the farm, found people to help them take care of the animals, and then the whole family set off for Los Angeles.
Initially, Theron's plan was to travel in shifts. She would take Claire and Gerda, along with Lin Tian and Lin Jun, on two separate flights to deal with the paparazzi, and then settle into the villa that Theron had secretly bought to avoid being reported on.
But Lin Tian directly rejected her suggestion!
What are you doing, sneaking around like that? Two single young people, what's there to hide?
Anyway, there's no intention to hide it, and the agency has already communicated with them. Otherwise, how could Theron just disappear for several months out of thin air?
Under these circumstances, Lin Tian made a direct decision: Let's take a plane together and go back to Los Angeles!
So the five of them took off from Dallas and arrived at Los Angeles airport a few hours later.
Because they didn't try to hide themselves at the Dallas airport and departed together, social media had already exploded while they were still on the plane! And it wasn't just social media that exploded; the paparazzi and reporters all went crazy!
They went into battle mode almost immediately, and the roads leading to the airport in Los Angeles instantly became incredibly congested. Countless reporters and paparazzi rushed to the airport to capture this scene! They wanted to ask these two people face-to-face what was going on!
In contrast, the reporters were able to maintain their professionalism and head to the airport to work immediately.
The fans and moviegoers were absolutely ecstatic!
One is the world's strongest basketball superstar, and the other is a top-tier actress with acting skills, good looks, status, popularity, and awards.
The two people held hands, pushing a stroller, and boarded the plane together.
This news is so explosive that it's definitely one of the hottest news stories in Hollywood and the entire sports world in recent years!
The last time the sports world had such a sensational event was two months ago when Lin Tian announced that he would retire after playing the last season of his contract.
This time, it was Lin Tian again.
Why is it always you, bro!
After announcing his retirement, he disappeared for almost three months. Do you know what the NBA became during those three months? Do you know how everyone spent those three months? Do you know how many shows those stars did and how many interviews they gave during those three months?
Did you know that in the past two months, regardless of whether they are active players or retired players, or even top NCAA players, as long as NBA stars or players related to the NBA appear in public and are caught, they will be asked one question 100% of the time: What do you think about Lin's retirement?
Lin Tian was unaware of the bizarre and varied answers available to him, as he had completely disappeared for the past three months, focusing all his attention on Theron and Claire.
This time, the combined attack of Lin Tian and Theron has had an impact and a huge effect that is no less than the last time!
After all, what exactly is a powerful alliance? What is the ultimate clash between two camps?
Fans, moviegoers, fans, passersby, haters...
People from all walks of life are going all out, discussing this matter frantically online, in real life, and through various channels.
The sheer number of participants, along with the sheer volume of photos, videos, evidence, analyses, and discussions uploaded online, directly brought several sports and film forums and social networks to a standstill.
The combined traffic of these two is truly enormous!
Lin Tian and Theron were not inexperienced youngsters; they were quite well-prepared for this situation.
Even though they were fully prepared, and even though they both wore super thick, dark sunglasses when they got off the plane, they were still taken aback by the scene in front of them when they walked out of the passage and into the airport hall.
Lin Tian, who was wearing sunglasses, was almost blinded by the light!
It's clear how many reporters were on the scene, and how many flashbulbs were working frantically.
At this moment, Lin Tian was also quite fortunate.
Fortunately, after discussing it on the plane, they adopted a roundabout approach.
They let Lin Jun and Gerda take Claire away first, while Lin Tian and Theron swaggered out of the passage, attracting everyone's attention and giving the other three space to leave.
The main reason, of course, is that he was afraid that too many people would scare Claire.
When the reporters saw the two men appear, they were incredibly excited! They thought it was big news!
But when they saw that there were only two people, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
There were only two people. Where was the baby? There was no child. They came for nothing, and all their excitement and fuss was for nothing!
Especially since having a child makes it pointless for these two to officially announce their relationship on the spot!
This is why even when the facts are shocking, the standards still fall far short of expectations.
But disappointment aside, the questions still need to be asked, just in case it's true.
What if the two of them really did have a child, but the child was lost?
As for how the two people lost their child on the plane, and why they remained so calm and composed if their child was lost, that's not something reporters should worry about.
"Lin, Charlize, we heard you two have been secretly married for 10 years, is that right?"
"You were photographed in Los Angeles many years ago. Were you already married at that time?"
"Rumor has it that you've been vacationing in Hawaii for the past few months. Are you on your honeymoon there?"
"Rumors are circulating that you two already have three children, two boys and one girl. Is that true?"
"What's your first child's name? Will he/she be attending school in Los Angeles?"
"Your first child is reportedly already in high school! And a five-star high school student at that! Is it possible that Lin and his child could compete against each other in the NBA?"
"We heard that Duke and North Carolina both sent invitations to your child. Which school would you choose for him?"
"Charles wasn't wearing the diamond ring. Did Lin not give it to him?"
"Charles, will you still be making movies in the future?"
"Lin, are you planning to enter the film industry and work with Charlize? Is that why you gave up the NBA?"
The reporters' questions were incredibly numerous and relentless. They didn't even give the two people a chance to answer; instead, they rushed to throw out all the questions.
They were afraid that if they were even a little slow, they would lose the opportunity to ask a question, and they were also afraid that if they asked a question too slowly, the two people would just leave.
After asking more than a dozen questions in a row, the reporters finally realized that this was not a solution, so they all stopped and looked at Lin Tian and Theron expectantly.
The fact that the two of them were here together already says a lot, but the reporters still wanted to hear what they had to say.
I want to hear what they both have to say.
"First of all, all the questions you just asked are wrong, they're all baseless, they're all nonsense. What you said is all false, none of it happened."
Lin Tian's words left the reporters extremely disappointed; they felt they had wasted their time.
But this also thrilled the paparazzi, who knew their moment had arrived! These professionals were 100% certain: these two were definitely up to something! They were absolutely certain they could find out!
Just as the reporters were extremely disappointed and the paparazzi were full of energy, preparing to launch a second wave of attacks to see if they could get anything more out of the two of them, Lin Tian once again took the initiative to counterattack, and he openly grabbed Theron's hand.
"Although all your guesses were nonsense, well, yes, we have a child."
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he even glanced at Theron. The two then shared a sweet and oblivious kiss before walking forward.
The reporters erupted in a huge cheer! It was definitely worth the trip!
Meanwhile, the paparazzi sighed in despair. The big story was gone; it had been leaked themselves! How disappointing!
As for Lin Tian and Seron, they walked side by side into the car that was already waiting there. Then the car started moving, and Lin Tian looked at Lin Jun and Gerda in the car and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I'm going to start dieting and working out tonight." Unfortunately, before Lin Tian could even catch his breath, Theron declared: I'm about to start reading!
Regarding Theron's attitude and dedication, Lin Tian reiterated: "You do your thing, I'll just lie here and relax."
There's no way around it, this feeling of not having to think about anything is just too awesome!
Almost at the same time that Theron said she was going to start reading, Lin Tian's phone also started working.
Crazy work!
The main reason why we started working at this time was that Lin Tian had just turned on the machine.
He had turned off his phone before boarding the plane, but he just picked it up casually and turned it back on out of habit.
The moment he turned on the computer, Lin Tian regretted it.
At this time, in this place, who could call him?
Would Anthony call at this time to congratulate himself on the birth of his son?
Stop talking nonsense!
This option is not available.
At this point, the people making calls would only be the Olsen twins, Hilton, Angelina Jolie, Portman, or even Bellucci...
As for Lin Tian's friends, would they even think of Lin Tian at this time? That's a pipe dream!
They probably don't know about this.
What decent man would stare at that thing?
"Gerda, stop the car. Lin wants to get out." At this moment, Theron once again demonstrated her decisiveness.
"Huh? Me? No need, um, I..." This time, it was Lin Da Guan Ren's turn to be in a bit of a predicament, after all, he thought Gerda was carrying a gun.
"I'm a man of my word," Theron shrugged. "But you'd better watch out for the paparazzi, you know what I mean. Go ahead, and your presence will disrupt my workout and diet plans. I'm not kidding when I say I'm starting filming next month."
As Theron spoke, she carefully opened the car door and looked at Lin Tian.
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Lin Tian stopped arguing, patted his old man on the shoulder, jumped out of the car, and began to stroll along the streets of Los Angeles.
As Lin Tian walked, he continued to ponder, wondering who to contact first. There really were several people in Los Angeles.
Lin Da Guanren swore: He didn't want to be a time management master, nor did he want to be a scumbag.
There are some things he needs to clarify in person, right?
There are some things he can't avoid; he has to face them head-on, right?
If he drags it out, wouldn't that make him a jerk?
A responsible man must confront problems head-on!
While convincing himself with bizarre reasons and logic that even ghosts couldn't understand, Lin Tian made a few quick movements and disappeared into the streets of Los Angeles.
Enter City Spider-Man Mode!
……
In the days that followed, Lin Tian basically stayed in Los Angeles. He didn't participate in Theron's weight loss and recovery plan. He just continued to lie down, take care of the kids, go shopping, and wander around.
Lin Tian has completely entered a state of complacency.
There's no way around it; once you get used to laziness, it's very hard to break the habit.
Fortunately, although Lin Tian's basketball skills and physical condition declined rapidly, his skills in changing diapers, coaxing children to sleep, and burping babies improved by leaps and bounds.
As the saying goes, a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise!
As Theron gets thinner and thinner, her body fat percentage drops visibly, and with the addition of various skincare and makeup products on her face, her appearance has completely returned to its former glory before October!
Lin Tian only weighed himself once at the end of September.
It weighs 98 kilograms.
He is about 10 pounds heavier than when he was at his best and he weighed the most, and 16 pounds heavier than when he played last season.
The composition of this 16-pound meal is quite simple; it's basically all fat.
When Lin Tian looked in the mirror, he could see that he had visibly gained weight.
Even if Lin Tian didn't care about such things during the entire off-season, and even if he felt that being fat was fine and lying down was more comfortable, he was still fine.
At this point in his life, he needs to pull himself together!
After all, the training camp is about to begin!
If Lin Tian can't get back in shape, reduce fat, and improve his physical fitness during the training camp, he'll be in big trouble next season!
Seriously speaking, after learning that he was about to retire, most people's first reaction was probably reluctance, worry, concern, and curiosity.
But once everyone came to their senses and figured things out, the Knicks' situation for the next season was going to be terrible!
For NBA players, Lin Tian's retirement doesn't just mean "the monster who took 10 championship rings in the past 12 years is finally gone," it also means "if I don't beat him next season, I'll never have another chance!"
Yes!
This is the NBA, a place where the competition is almost insane!
The Knicks are destined for a more difficult season than the previous two!
After all, they are no longer just the defending champions this season.
They still want to challenge the dynasty, and they still want to send Lin Tian into retirement.
All the teams in the league are eager to fight the Knicks, defeat them, and defeat Lin Tian!
Because this is truly the last chance for all teams and stars in the league!
Meanwhile, teams and players who have a chance to win the championship and are capable of challenging for the title are putting their fighting spirit to the fullest.
For them, this is the most important and last chance!
Even if they win the championship again after this season, many people will still say things like, "You only won because Lin retired," "You were always getting crushed when Lin was playing," "You were nothing when Lin was playing," and "Why didn't you win the championship when Lin was playing!"
In short, without defeating Lin Tian at least once, whoever rules the league after Lin Tian's retirement will inevitably face all sorts of ridicule and sarcasm.
The championships Lin Tian won in the two years after his retirement were not easy to obtain!
Therefore, defeating Lin Tian this year, beating him so badly that he runs away with his tail between his legs, and leaving the league as a loser is the dream of almost every player!
To put it more bluntly, Lin Tian and the Knicks this season are public enemies!
Of course, this is not because Lin Tian is unpopular; he has many friends.
The real reason behind this situation where it feels like 29 against 1...
Um, this...
Ok!
The real reason is that Lin Tian is too annoying.
He had offended too many people, so before he left, everyone wanted to thoroughly destroy him!
This is the last chance! (End of Chapter)
