Chapter 32: The Practices of the Wise

"Did you know that if you have a ban of more than 12 games, you can appeal to the league? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How many appeals can be reduced?"

"It can be reduced to at least 12 games. ”

Anxi calculated at the moment, and if he appealed, he could reduce the number of bans for 5 games, which was still very cost-effective.

At this time, Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone continued: "But I suggest that you don't appeal now, wait for this limelight, no one will discuss the Oracle brawl incident, and then come to appeal." ”

An Xi nodded, understood.

Kobe Bryant on the other end of the line was about to hang up.

An Xi smiled at this time and said, "Bryant, why are you helping me?"

"What?" Kobe Bryant on the other end of the line didn't seem to hear clearly.

An Xi repeated: "I said, why are you helping me? You don't look like a warm-hearted person. ”

"I watched your game, you played well this season, averaging 33.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 3.0 steals, 1.4 blocks per game, this stat is strong, you're going to have a great season, I don't want to see you ruin this season because of a ban. Bryant paused, then lowered his voice slightly mysteriously: "And I don't think Mr. Adam Shaw wants to see you ruin this season because of the ban." ”

……

Anxi felt that Kobe Bryant was right, even if it was Adam Xiaohua, he would not want to see Anxi ruin this great season because of the ban, so Anxi firmly believes that Adam Xiaohua will reduce the number of bans, but the time of reduction is definitely not now.

Ivo Clark also called Anxi, as Anxi's agent, when his employer caused such an incident with such a big impact, Ivo Clark had to calm down the impact as soon as possible.

"Ann, what do you think now?" Ivoclark didn't put forward too many constructive suggestions, but An Xi had thought a lot about it here, and he already had a plan in mind.

"Ivo, I already know what to do, you can help me arrange it now, for the next few days off, I'm going to go to the community to participate in service work, besides, do you have any friends in the media?"

When Ivoclark heard Anxi's arrangement, he immediately understood Anxi's thoughts, and he nodded: "Yes, several local reporters in Philadelphia have a good relationship with me, and among the national media reporters, Adrian Wonarowski of Yahoo and Kevin Ding, an expert reporter in the bleachers, are also good journalists. ”

"Okay, don't bother them with your national reporters, just let them help write a story, and as for a few local reporters in Philadelphia...... Arrange an interview for me about the fight. ”

Anxi quickly arranged everything, and then, he was ready to log in to his social networking account and issue an apology statement.

An Xi's thinking is very clear, what he has to do now is to admit his mistakes seriously, not only in words, but also in action.

In short, Anxi should establish an image as much as possible, an honest and positive image.

But Draymond Green didn't think so, he was quite unconvinced by the alliance's punishment, although he used the malicious action of kicking, but Anxi was the one who did it first, why should his punishment be heavier than Anxi?

Therefore, the unconvinced Draymond Green began to vent his grievances, he threw all kinds of basketballs in the training hall, and after the training, he used his Twitter trumpet to make a lot of remarks dissatisfied with the league's punishment, he didn't dare to use the tuba, obviously still afraid of the league's additional punishment.

However, in action, Draymond Green still filed a complaint with the league with his agent, BJ Armstrong.

BJ Armstrong is a very tough agent, he always behaves very tough when facing the management of major teams in the league, and now, he has to face the top of the league directly, it is hard to imagine that the Bulls' triple crown is still so tough.

He strongly said that the league's handling of Draymond Green's 20-game ban was too sloppy, and in any case, the brawl was the first action of Anxi, and Draymond Green was the victim of the brawl.

But obviously, when the punishment was just decided, BJ Armstrong made such a statement, which was a provocation to the authority of the alliance, so the league immediately announced the rejection of BJ Armstrong and Draymond Green's appeal......

B.J. Armstrong remained unconvinced and continued to appeal, arguing that the league's suspension was beyond 12 games and had violated Draymond Green's personal rights.

This time, the league did not directly dismiss BJ Armstrong and Draymond Green's appeal, because this time BJ Armstrong and Drummond Green's complaint was in accordance with the rights, and they could not dismiss it directly, but the league did not respond directly, but instead used procrastination to drag Draymond Green without giving any reply.

Compared to the hard steel practices of BJ Armstrong and Draymond Green, Anxi and Iwo Clark's handling is much smarter, and they are starting to show Draymond Green how smart people do it.

Ten days later, Anxi appeared in a welfare home in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

"Hello, Mr. Anxi, thank you for coming!" The person in charge of the welfare home, a lean white man with gray hair wearing glasses, shook hands with An Xi, and then walked towards the welfare home with An Xi.

The sports atmosphere in the United States is very strong, even in welfare homes, there are large and small sports fields, such as basketball courts, football fields, and football fields.

There are many local basketball fans in Philadelphia, especially the small fans, the largest number, and the 76ers won the championship last year, which has cultivated a lot of young fans born in the 00s and even in the 05s.

These little fans are die-hard fans of Anxi, when Anxi appeared in the welfare home, more than 30 little fans of different sizes at the scene made a huge sound, and the immature children's voices synthesized into a tidal cheer, and Anxi also waved his hands excitedly.

It is true that he came with a purpose at the beginning of this community service activity, but after he really came, Anxi was still very happy, and he saw a group of innocent and cute little fans in the welfare home in Philadelphia.

Anxi approached, and the little fans gathered around.

A short, white-looking, glasses-wearing, blonde fan handed An Xi a poster and said in a greasy voice, "Ann, can you give me an autograph?"

This little blonde fan looked like the youngest fan in the welfare home, and the other little fans actually made way for the little blonde fan with love, and waited obediently next to him, not to disturb the little blonde fan.

An Xi smiled and said, "No problem." ”

Then he asked, "What's your name?"

"Clarence Claire. The blonde fan continued to say in a greasy voice.

At this time, Anxi began to sign the poster, but at first he wrote - "ToClarence Claire:"

Obviously, this will be a very different signature.

An Xi continued to ask, "Do you like basketball very much?"

"Yes!" Clarence Claire nodded widely.

"So what kind of player do you want to be?"

"A shooter, just like you did in the last game, shoots three points two steps from the three-point line!" said Clarence Claire, who actually waved his little meat hand, looking excited.

The child fell into his anticipation for the future again, and An Xi smiled and began to continue writing on the poster: "I wish you to become a great shooter and rule the NBA!"

In the end, Anxi signed his name, "Anxi"!

Clarence Claire happily took the special poster, then carefully held it in the palm of his hand and walked aside, leaving the place for the little brothers who had been waiting behind him.

A week later, a high school kid named Clarence Claire came out, he wore sports glasses, and dominated Pennsylvania with absolute precision three-point shooting, he could even shoot three points from two or three steps beyond the three-point line, although he was skinny, but if the opponent didn't defend him from half court, he could shoot all the long-range shots, this scene shocked many scouts from the NBA.

They even began to push the league to allow Clarence Claire to enter the NBA draft early.

Of course, that was ten years later, and now, Anxi is still on the grounds of the suburban Philadelphia welfare home, signing autographs for every young fan and taking group photos.

After all this, the person in charge of the welfare institute handed An Xi a microphone, An Xi cleared his throat and began to speak: "I'm very happy, I'm very happy to be able to come here to see you, you are all very cute children, I know that you are all very loyal basketball fans, maybe in ten years, Twenty years from now, you're going to be an NBA star, or even a great NBA superstar, but before that, I want to say that to be a great NBA superstar, you have to do the following, start small......"

"You need to establish a good three views, you need to work hard, God rewards hard work......

An Xi found that the more he spoke about this unscripted speech, the more it looked like the speech of the leader of the Celestial Empire, there was no way, he had been exposed to it since he was a child, and he would always be affected by something.

But when he saw that the audience was a group of white and black people, An Xi knew that he needed to make some workarounds.

A reporter from a local television station in Philadelphia held up a camera to film Anxi's speech, which will be broadcast on Philadelphia television in the evening, and if Anxi has a way, it can even be broadcast on Turner Sports TV and ESPN.

This is Anxi's propaganda offensive, nominally, he wants to make up for his mistakes in this way of community service, but in fact he is giving the alliance a step, he wants the alliance to know how perfect he has done to remedy this brawl, and let Adam Xiaohua know that at the right time, Anxi's ban can be reduced.

Of course, by the time the speech reached this point, Anxi's original intention had changed.

He felt that since he came, he had to do more practical things.

So, he told a little story to the group of young fans in the audience.

"When I was a kid, I was very fond of basketball, and my dad loved basketball, so he let me practice every day until I was bored. ”

"Then I started to feel a little bit less like practice, which is very common and maybe you will be in the same situation. ”

"When I started to be reluctant to practice, my dad began to force me to practice, but after a long time, my dad suddenly found that I didn't make any progress, because I wasn't really and wholeheartedly practicing football, so after a while, no one forced me......"

"My skills gradually fell during that time, my dad didn't care about me, no one cared about me, and I didn't even start to practice. ”

"Until one day, the school held a class ......"

……

In the end, An Xi summarized the core idea of the story: "In short, playing basketball, what you need is a persistent heart, we need to persevere, and what we need is to consciously persevere, not to be influenced by others. ”

After Anxi finished speaking, there was applause at the scene, of course, the children's applause was not loud enough, only a crackling sound was heard in the audience, and the little fans clapped their palms excitedly.

An Xi saw the little blonde boy with glasses, the little boy named Clarence Claire, and he also clapped his palms vigorously, looking very excited.

So, An Xi continued: "For example, if you become a great shooter next, then, starting today, practice a hundred threes a day, from near to far, one day you will be successful, provided that you persevere, rain or shine." ”

An Xi pointed to the open-air court in the welfare institute and expressed his meaning very clearly.

Clarence Claire clenched his fists, and all of An Xi's words were heard by him, and perhaps remembered in his heart.

At the end of the community service activities, Anxi gave a batch of sports goods and basketballs he brought, including his Philadelphia No. 7 jersey and a batch of dragon heir generation sneakers in a specific shoe size, to the young fans of the welfare home.

A community service that was mostly a show in itself ended like this.

This community service activity was broadcast by a local TV station in Philadelphia and spread out, but the initial version was only a short version of the TV station's broadcast, and I don't know where the full version flowed out, so many people watched the full version of the video and began to applaud Anxi for taking the initiative to admit his mistakes and make up for his mistakes in behavior.

At this time, the time is ripe, and there is no need for Anxi and Ywair Clark to appeal to the league, and the league announced that the ban of more than 12 games is not in accordance with the U.S. federal law before Christmas, so the number of bans for Anxi and Draymond Green will be reduced to 12 games.

At this time, Anxi has missed 6 games, and the next Christmas game will be the 7th game that Anxi missed.

An Xi thought that he would definitely miss the Christmas game, but on December 24, the night of Christmas Eve, the league referee committee made another announcement overnight.
