On May 13th, US time, there is only one front page of today’s sports edition.
Big Brawl!!! - Official website of ESPN.
A sudden conflict!!!——T.N.T's official website.
The Lakers advance 4:3 - This is the official NBA website.
Lakers win, Nuggets finally get angry! - Los Angeles Times.
The Lakers will do whatever it takes to win! - Denver Post.
The text on the major official websites is still a little restrained, but when it comes to individuals, it is not so polite. ESPN expert Henry Abbott wrote on his personal Twitter, the person who brings shame to the NBA game! The barbaric Chinese
!At the same time, Brian Windhorse also echoed Henry Abbott. He also wrote on Twitter that last night’s game was the ugliest series I have ever seen. The Chinese
The cruelty and barbarity are displayed to the fullest! If the league keeps such players, it will only lead to constant trouble!
Denver reporters also tweeted in support, saying, "Deliberate conspiracy! This is the product of the Lakers' victory! The Chinese used dirty means to seize the victory that should belong to us!"
As for the final penalty decision for that game, it is being discussed intensely in the league office at this moment.
"What do you think?" David Stern asked, standing in front of an LCD screen.
"Mr. Stern, I think the punishment should be based on the Palace of Auburn Hills." A man with white hair said from his seat. They are all managers of the NBA league office, the so-called "President's Team."
, as long as David Stern is still in office, they will sit in this office.
"Well, what are other people's opinions?" David Stern did not express his position directly, but continued to ask.
"I think the first offender should be severely punished. After all, it is the playoffs now. If there are too many people involved like the Palace of Auburn Hills, it will have a big impact on the ratings of the playoffs."
"Well, is there anything else?" David Stern said.
"Mr. Stern, this matter is not trivial. If it is not handled properly, it will cause resistance from Denver people. I think it is better to push China out first and use it as a model. Otherwise, if Stan Kroenke makes a fuss, the league will
It’s hard to clean up the edges.”
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all shook their heads.
David Stern was quiet for a few seconds, and then said: "Since there is no more, you might as well listen to my opinion."
"Please, Mr. Stern." Everyone said respectfully. Not to mention that their jobs were all given by the man in front of them, even if this layer of relationship is stripped away, David Stern's personal ability is
It was enough to convince everyone present. When Stern first took over the NBA in 1984, this was not a "fat vacancy" at all, and it had nothing to do with the four major leagues in the United States. At that time, the value of the NBA as a whole was
The total amount is less than 400 million U.S. dollars. Even in 1984, it was still an extremely pitiful figure. The average player salary was only about a "mere" 250,000 U.S. dollars, which is a huge difference from the millions it earns today. Why?
The last NBA commissioner, Lawrence O'Brien, left office in a hurry after only 9 years in office? Was it really due to physical reasons? Of course not. The main reason was that the NBA at that time was already in a mess, and within 9 years
, O'Brien has been constantly making blind reforms, which made the entire NBA full of resentment. Only then did he have no choice but to give up the position of president to David Stern, who was only 41 years old at the time.
In the midst of the pessimism, David Stern emerged strongly. He first introduced the salary cap system, then reformed the draft method, and then started a drastic campaign to combat drug use. Through thunderous means, he eliminated the troubles.
Throughout the drug-related issues in the 1960s and 1970s, the overall image of the NBA has gradually become healthier and is accepted by more people. Finally, it is to implement the "star-making movement" and build a large number of outstanding players into "excellent in both character and academics"
The high-quality idols of the NBA have made the NBA's audience larger and larger, and its influence deeper and deeper. By 2005, the average NBA team value was as high as 326 million U.S. dollars, and one team could equal the value of a league in 1984.
By the time he left office in 2014, it was even more exaggerated. The average value of NBA teams, like the Rockets, had risen crazily to $1.1 billion!
To put it in a narrow way, in the past 30 years, David Stern has single-handedly supported the big stage of the NBA. He has made the sport of basketball more and more beautiful and popular. Among NBA players,
The true god is Jordan, but the father of the NBA is David Stern. He is the real promoter and operator of basketball.
By 2012, his 28-year career as president had brought this old Jewish man's reputation to its peak. He alone could actually influence the opinions of the entire league office.
Even if it is playing "Yiyantang", no one dares to object.
"I think the Nuggets should be punished heavily and the Lakers lightly punished for this matter." David Stern said directly without covering up.
…
The league's punishment has not yet come out, but the Internet has already boiled into a pot of chaos.
"The 2011-2012 Rookie of the Year is announced, and the ROY winner is Kyrie Irving!" someone posted on the forum.
But ten minutes passed and there were very few replies.
"The Most Improved Player of the 2011-2012 season has been announced, and the winner of the MIP is Ryan Anderson!" Seeing no one replied, the person posted another post. However, the result was still no one interested.
"The Defensive Player of the Year for the 2011-2012 season has been announced! The DPOY winner is Tyson Chandler. Come and see!"
The results were still deserted and empty.
What happened today? Why didn’t anyone read the post? It’s strange! When the awards are announced, there will always be a large influx of talented people! Just when this person was confused, a kind person came over and replied.
He said: "Dude, don't waste your time here. Not many people will come. Everyone is going to discuss the video of the conflict last night."
"Conflict video, what conflict video?" the man asked.
"e.on~ You didn't watch yesterday's game, did you?"
"I was very busy yesterday and I haven't finished my work until now. What's wrong? Is there any big news?"
"It's not just big news, it's breaking news! Go check it out on reddit! You'll forget about these fucking awards!"
"Really? I'll go right away, thanks~buddy~"
…
&On the forum, messages have been flying all over the place.
"It's too fierce, it's too fierce. What's the name of this Lakers number 29? I want to be his fan and I want to buy his jersey!"
"His name is Hot Money, he is Chinese, and he is now a member of our Los Angeles Lakers~"
"Wow~ Look at this punch, it's simple and crude, without any fancy~ It's so awesome~ Orcs are no match for him~"
"What an orc! Can he compare with Smash? If the entire Nuggets team comes together, Smash won't be afraid~ It's just a little bit of fun at most~"
"Now I finally understand how Andrew Bynum feels. This Chinese is a monster~ To challenge him to a one-on-one challenge is just to seek abuse!"
"Poor Bynum, poor Faried, poor Nuggets team~"
"I really want to know now, is that Gray Jones still clamoring? I look forward to a real-life PK between him and Tong~"
"There's still fart noise. I haven't posted a single tweet from yesterday to now. I guess I'm scared~"
"A friend of mine knows Gray Jones. He also fights very fiercely, but I find it difficult to say that he is the same as perm~"
"This guy is simply a modern version of Bruce Lee?"
"I decided, I'm going to watch this guy play, and I'll go to the next game!"
"Dude~ You are too slow. All the tickets for the Lakers' second round have been sold out long ago~ If you want to go to watch the game live, you have to wait~"
"No need to wait, brother, I have the tickets here. Let's talk in private?"
…
At the same time, someone in China saw the right opportunity and dropped a bombshell:
Tang Qian refused the call of the national team! Many hard talks to no avail!
PS: This is the second chapter~ The excitement has just begun~
Thanks to jx05 for the big monthly ticket~Thanks to Knight Apprentice 555 for the big reward~Thank you~
Today, a "feminist" colleague said that a certain star is not manly enough or manly enough, and that he should handle this kind of thing alone. It is not a good thing to put his wife in "dire straits"! He also said
This society is unfair. If a man cheats, it will be fine, but if a woman cheats, she will be scolded to death!
Seeing this, Xiao Zi, as a man, was surprised, because she is usually a standard "straight female cancer", why is she suddenly so "high-sounding" today? And her ability to change the topic is not very strong, if nothing else.
Since when are men and women divided into men when cheating? Aren’t men scolded like dogs for cheating? When did it become nothing? Oh~ What a weird logic~
