Chapter 1148: Three fouls in two minutes!
In the next two days, the theft of the Houston Art Museum seemed to steal the limelight from the Lakers' upcoming battle against the Rockets.
The incident was quickly revealed by the media.
This time, the Museum of Fine Arts of Houston suffered heavy losses, losing a total of 22 European and American paintings and 35 Chinese calligraphy and paintings.
There are 22 European and American paintings, but all of them are from famous artists.
For example, Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Gauguin...... Which of these isn't the famous super-everybody?
These people's paintings, one one is less than 30 or 50 million, don't even talk about it.
Although there are a few famous artists who are not as good as the above-mentioned ones, the total market value of the entire 22 oil paintings exceeds 800 million US dollars.
One of Van Gogh's best works, "Two Sunflowers in a Vase", is not among the 11 sunflower works that have been handed down, although there is still some controversy in the academic community, and I think it will be a fake.
But many people who have studied Van Gogh for decades think that this is the real thing, but it was not taken out by Van Gogh, but a practice work on weekdays, and the quality is very good.
There was once a collector who applied to the Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, and if you think this is fake, then I am willing to pay 50 million dollars to buy it and take it home.
He was, of course, denied.
Then Van Gogh's other "Rose Bush" reached a size of 102cm*79cm, and the market valuation reached 80 million US dollars.
The market value of each of Picasso's three abstract paintings fluctuates between 30 million and 60 million.
So the overall amount reached $800 million, which is also very normal.
The remaining 35 Chinese calligraphy and paintings are similarly exaggerated.
When the Asian Pavilion of the San Francisco Museum lent it to the Museum of Fine Arts of Houston for exhibition, it instructed them to make a temporary insurance policy.
Take out the list and take a look, the insured price of these 35 works is as high as 520 million US dollars, which is simply blinding everyone's eyes.
If they were to pay the full price, the insurance company would lose even the pants, so they were the ones who were most active in urging the police to find the thieves and recover the collections.
But the police had no choice, and they searched for several days without any clues.
The eight nights on duty at the museum were already put down without seeing anything, hearing anything.
Four of them were completely unconscious, and the remaining four could only feel a gust of wind blowing, and they were knocked unconscious.
After exploring for a long time, the camera did not record anything, and the collection of various footprints, hairs, etc., also did not gain anything.
These people knew at a glance that they were veterans, and it was definitely a well-planned theft that was not easy to crack at all.
Now the Houston Museum of Art is in a hurry.
The San Francisco Museum desperately called them and asked them to give an explanation as to why the things they lent them were stolen.
I don't want you to compensate me for money, I just want my treasure to be returned to its rightful owner!
In any way, the Museum of Fine Arts of Houston has no confidence, because they are the ones who are at fault.
Of course, they themselves do not have the ability to solve the case, but they are still very angry when they see the police at such a loss.
The Museum of Fine Arts of Houston represents the face of the whole of Houston, they are disgraced, and the whole of Houston has no glory.
Therefore, in addition to the strong protest of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the city also put great pressure on the police department.
The police officers were under pressure, and all kinds of measures became violent.
In the streets and alleys of Houston these days, there are police officers everywhere, and the sound of police lights is blowing everywhere.
In such a severe and tense situation, the Lakers players have never been disturbed by X again.
It's not that those fans have a conscience, but every time they come over, the police will constantly interrogate them, such as holding concerts, setting off fireworks, etc., which are regarded as measures that may interfere with the police's handling of the case, so they are all banned.
Just like Shen Huan said, the environment has improved, but this does not mean that Team Rocket will be spared.
The race on May 1 was very popular from the start.
After Shen Huan received Howard's pass, he went all the way to the Rockets' three-point line, and faced James Harden, who was back on defense, and shot a three-point shot directly.
James Harden, who jumped to block at the same time, was also fouled by Shen Huan and added a free throw.
It's really nothing.
After all, it is not uncommon for Shen Huan to score points at the beginning.
But then when James Harden was attacking with the ball, he had just hit the horn position, stuck with Shen Huan, and when he wanted to turn around and shoot, he heard the referee's whistle.
"Offensive foul!"
The interview clapped his hands and made another pushing motion.
James Harden was furious.
He threw away the basketball directly and said angrily: "Sir, don't you see that all my movements are very standardized? I almost didn't touch him!"
The referee laughed, "James, don't think I didn't see your movements, how did you move your elbows?
James Harden quickly changed the subject, "But can this level of confrontation be called a foul?"
"If it weren't for Shen Huan's good physical fitness, he would have been pushed away by you a long time ago. The referee said lightly, "Don't tell me again, or I'll give you another T!"
"I knew you were all biased towards Shen Huan...... It's excessive!"
James Harden muttered, turned away angrily.
The referee heard him, but he didn't really care, because in a way, that's what happened.
Before every game, the top management of the alliance would call them over and tell them not to let Shen Huan get hurt, and also to severely crack down on those black actions against Shen Huan.
Like James Harden, who likes to play smart, he is naturally the target of key jurisdiction.
resolutely can't let him foul Shen Huan.
If Shen Huan is beaten down, what will the audience watch?
With hundreds of millions of dollars in tickets for a game, and without Shen Huan in the game, who do you think the anger of tens of thousands of viewers should be sent to?
The NBA is inherently a commercial league, and fans and spectators are their grandparents and are the most important thing.
Therefore, under the premise of guarantee, Shen Huan is the most important player.
James Harden also understood in his heart, but when it was his turn, he was a little unable to figure it out.
Anyway, I'm also a superstar in the NBA, a superstar for the Houston Rockets.
Are you disrespecting me by doing this?
But only half a minute later, after Shen Huan hit the basket again and shot successfully, the whistle made him desperate again.
"Foul!"
The referee pointed at him the same this time, and then made an elbow and pull action, and at the same time gave Shen Huan a chance to add a penalty.
Shet!
The bearded man's face darkened.
