Chapter 514: Thunder Fan Incident and Fifty-Eight Points!

Oklahoma City has been buzzing lately.

It's a city with a real love for basketball.

Hosting an All-Star Game in a city like this is definitely a basketball win.

It's just that...... Because none of the Oklahoma City Thunder teams made the All-Star Game, such victories were somewhat less thorough.

It is precisely because the Oklahoma City Thunder did not have any players selected for the All-Star Game that by the time the NBA entered the All-Star Weekend, there had been several demonstrations and retaliation against the league's top brass in the city.

When a certain gloomy bald head of the league vice president was doing community service in Oklahoma City accompanied by the general manager of the Thunder, he was attacked by Goose City fans.

When Yees arrived with the supersonic players who were going to All-Star Weekend, the biggest news in the country was a photo of the bald vice president of the NBA being attacked beyond recognition by eggs and tomatoes.

Quite miserable!

And according to reports, it seems that the attack on this dead bald head was not an accident, but was premeditated.

Jeff Ball, the general manager of the Thunder who accompanied him to the community event, was rumored to be behind the scenes, and it was he who leaked the entire itinerary of the community event to those extreme fans.

And when the bald vice president was attacked, Jeff Bauer was next to him, and it stands to reason that Jeff Bauer should be affected no matter what he says, but what makes people speechless is that Jeff Bauer doesn't even have a little egg liquid and tomato juice on him.

As long as you are not a fool, you can guess what the truth of this incident is.

What's more, what happened later made the truth of this matter clearer.

The Oklahoma City police came running after the group had finished attacking the bald head, watching the attackers leave, watching the bald head and his security guard humiliated by ketchup and egg wash.

"We regret and deeply sympathize with what happened to Adam in Oklahoma City, there is no doubt that he has become the object of dissatisfaction from those fans who have been hurt by the NBA, those Goose City fans who have been hurt by the NBA official and this year's All-Star Game do not represent the position of everyone in Goose City and the Thunder, under the values of the NBA, Goose City, and the Thunder, different fans can have different demands, some may be mild, some may be radical, and we respect their different ways of expression, as the general manager of the Thunder, I once again sympathize with Adam's plight, but this is just a helpless choice for some fans whose demands have not been treated correctly, I hope that the NBA can uphold the values of fans first, and can listen carefully to the opinions of all fans, not only the fans in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, but also the fans of Goose City, and even as Mr. David Stern said, the opinions of Chinese fans, and even fans in the Sahara Desert, I hope that the NBA can truly become the NBA of the world. And not the NBA of some special interests. ”

"In the end, I hope that the NBA can continue to unite all the different people, connect the people who love sports, love life, love their city, love their own country, and bring together people all over the world who have different ideas, hopes and demands, I have always been very clear that we are different from you, and when we respect each other, the NBA will be a bridge for those of us who are different, and I hope that Mr. David Stern can make the NBA a bridge that everyone can walk on. And not a bridge to a particular person, thank you, that's all I have for this press conference. ”

After the humiliation of the league's vice president in Goose City, public opinion in the national media was all gossip that the league was preparing to change the city where the All-Star was hosted.

Yes was really worried that he was going to come here for nothing.

It's just clear that after Thunder's general manager Jeff Ball's heartfelt press conference speech came out.

Ye Si knew that the gloomy bald vice president was beaten in vain.

Let's not say that this is Goose City, how could the police in Goose City be so obedient to investigate seriously.

It's the people of Goose City who pay them, not the NBA!

Jordan's diarrhea incident in the Salt Lake City Finals is still a mystery now.

It is no secret that the two teams were treated differently during the Auburn Hills Palace incident.

Now that the Thunder general manager has such a big hat buttoned down, David Stern only needs to be a little smarter to know that this is a step.

After all, these Goose City All-Stars are indeed the league, and the Thunder are first.

The Thunder are now ranked eighth in the strongest West in history.

The team's leading player, Chris Paul, is now a point guard averaging 20+10+2.5 per game.

This record, this statistic, and the home game, should be an All-Star no matter what.

But who made the top two in the west this year too strong!

The sun and the rocket must have three.

Supersonic Durant and Timberwolves' Yi Jianlian had an unexpected entry.

The remaining four spots, one for the SuperSonics, one for the Lakers, one for the Spurs, one for the Nuggets, and one for the top 61 in the West, there is nothing wrong with it.

As for the Grizzlies in seventh place in the West and the Thunder in eighth place in the West, it can only be said that it is a pity.

You can't trade Kobe, Duncan, or Anthony for Chris Paul, right?

It's sane, but the activities of the fans are often irrational.

For Thunder fans, they just felt like the bald vice president in charge of All-Star bench selection was targeting them.

Besides, in this Western All-Star substitution incident, the dead bald head did not do so well, and there is no problem in choosing these people, but there is not enough respect and sympathy for those who are lost.

That high-minded appearance is probably not only disgusting for Goose City fans, but also Memphis fans and many cities that have lost the NBA All-Star selection.

So after this attack on this dead bald head, there was a cheer on the Internet.

They are praising the bravery and courage of the fans of Goose City.

Yees and the Seattle SuperSonics are just bystanders to the current attack on the vice president in Goose City.

But as the president of the league, David Stern, he is not so easy.

It's not that easy to deal with.

If one is not handled well, the league will lose its dignity, and while maintaining its dignity, it will lose the hearts of many fans.

Fortunately, Jeff Ball, the general manager of the Thunder, can be a man, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately put a lot of high hats on him and the league.

This hat is quite standard.

This will allow him to let the Thunder and Goose City fans go on a ride and not make the NBA lose its dignity.

It is only one vice president of the alliance who has lost his dignity.

"What kind of thoughts does Adam have there?"

"The VP has no idea......

The assistant next to him was a little speechless and stopped.

If there is no idea, that is the biggest idea.

Obviously, Adam was not willing to let it go like this.

Thinking of this, David Stern was a little happy while regretting.

Why was he so blind before, and chose such a thing as his successor?

With his mind, he will make the NBA small, and he is determined to make the NBA the NBA of the world, but his mind is not such a height.

What's more, take a look at this series of operations by Thunder general manager Jeff Ball.

This is playing with him in applause!

His open-mindedness and insight exposed his height in this incident, even if his ability is outstanding, he can become a hero, and if he is not open-minded, it is still okay to keep it.

But this ability is so urgent.

He, David Stern, has been president of the league for so many years, which general manager would dare to play this kind of backstab in front of him?

Whether it's Jerry West or Pat Riley or Danny Angie, no one dares to challenge his authority.

In the entire NBA, he is the only voice!

Because those people know what will happen to them if they make other sounds!

But what about Adam......

Jeff Power's abilities aren't as great among NBA general managers.

He drafted Paul to form the futuristic Thunder, a good general manager, but far from top-notch.

This was the kind of person who could press Adam to the ground and rub it.

"The shade I used to give them was so great that they couldn't see the scorching sun...... The successor I need is not a successor who will see the light and die......"

Although he was a little reluctant, David Stern still had his own decision.

Recalling the appearance of the bald head talking eloquently in front of him, David Stern really didn't expect that this was a person who was boastful and ambitious...... Is it because he's hiding it too well, or am I too focused on growing the NBA and not looking at the league's housekeeping?

However, no matter what, this Goose City fan incident sounded a wake-up call for him.

No matter how well he develops the NBA, if the people below him are rotten, the country he has laid will be ruined by these people sooner or later!

"It's time to sort out the housekeeping."

David Stern was muttering to himself.

And the assistant on his side heard David Stern's words, and his hands and feet trembled.

Although the president's voice was calm, it was full of murderous energy!

At noon on February 15, 2008, the punishment opinion on this Goose City fan incident came out.

The Oklahoma City Thunder fined $2.5 million for an All-Star organization.

$2.5 million is a lot of money, but for Goose City and the Thunder, it's really a drizzle.

In order to breathe this out, to be honest, Goose City fans are willing to pay dozens of dollars each to help the Thunder pay this fine.

There is no doubt that after the league's penalty opinion came out, the Thunder fans in Goose City knew that their side had won a big victory.

So much so that the outside of the hotel where the Goose City All-Stars stayed was full of Thunder fans showing off their might.

Looking at the frenzy of Thunder fans outside the window and listening to the slogans they are shouting now, Durant feels incredible.

"These people are ready to change the next target to Yes!"

"Yes, is it really that bad, are the Thunder fans hating?"

"Of course, yes, but they scored 58 points from their favorite Chris Paul at last year's All-Star Game!"

"These people aren't going to humiliate the same way they humiliate that bald head, do they?"

In the hotel, the All-Stars living in various rooms of the hotel are now all looking at the Thunder fans downstairs with considerable curiosity.

"Yes's all-star journey is going to be quite difficult!"

"Yes, last year's All-Star, the fans of the casino welcomed Yes, and in the city of Goose, Yes was the enemy of the whole city!"

"What's more, the internal competition in the west is too fierce this year."

"It has long been rumored that in the Western All-Star Game, the Suns and Rockets players will not play more, they are preparing for the final sprint, Kobe, Duncan and Anthony are the same, after the game between the SuperSonics and the Jazz, the Lakers, Spurs and Nuggets, the three teams may not only think about the sixth, but the three!"

"The Suns' three, the Rockets' three plus the Lakers, Spurs, and Nuggets' three, these are the most combative players in the West, are they not willing to go all out now and let Yes play with Yi Jianlian and Durant?"

"This is also the reason why all the odds are now winning in the east, and the gap between the strength of the east and the west is so big, and the bookmaker is actually more optimistic about the east, which in itself is very revealing."

"It's not just the All-Star Game, it's the same with the Rookie Challenge, the second-year players in this year's Rookie Challenge are Yes, Roy, Aldridge, Gay, Millsap, Gibson, Rondo, Bagnani, Randy Ferye, it's okay if you don't have a center, and there are a bunch of Western players, Eastern players are still Yes's enemies, this is really impossible to play!"

"Last year's first-year five-small lineup shocked the world, and this year's first-year center is not Bynum, nor Bogut, but Oden! Oden is waiting to complain to the world about his loss in the All-Star Game at the All-Star Game! ”

"What's more, the head coach of this year's first-year team is Chris Paul!"

"Chris Paul will never let go of such an opportunity for revenge!"

Below the hotel, media from all over the United States and the world are whispering.

In order to compensate the Thunder, the league invited Paul to be the head coach of the first year of this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge.

It's an alternative opportunity to participate in NBA All-Star Weekend, and Paul gladly accepts it!

When Paul accepted the invitation, Paul's heart was well known.

"Maybe for Paul, he'd rather be the head coach of the first year at All-Star Weekend than be Yes's teammate in the West!"

"That's right!"

Listen to the slogans of these Thunder fans below the hotel now!

"Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! ”

"Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! ”

"Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! ”

It's really crazy!

Durant secretly glanced at Yes beside him.

He can not contribute to this year's rookie game, but ......

He was just one of the nine.

In addition to him, there are Oden, Conley, Jeff Green, Yi Jianlian, Horford, Nick Young, Corey Brewer, Joakim Noah.

They'll definitely prove to Yes in this race who deserves to be the man of last year, and they'll give it their all!

"Let's go."

Just when Durant was stunned, Ye Si's cold voice rang out.

Let's go?

Yes is still going to go out for a run, doesn't he see the current situation?

Looking at the resolute and ordinary back on Yes's face, Durant followed with a shocked and apprehensive face.

Well?!

Yes?!

The all-stars who were watching the excitement and the reporters below looked at the player in the supersonic No. 14 jersey running out of the hotel, with incredible expressions on their faces.

Not only were these people incredible, but they even shouted 'Fifty-eight! The Thunder fans were stunned.

Watching Yes pass between them, everyone even forgot their slogan and made a way for him!

"Incredible......

Anthony's eyes were shining with a strange light.

"This courage!"

The expressions on Wade and James' faces were quite complicated......

Now Anthony, Wade and James have different faces, and the three of them really have a completely different understanding of Yes's current behavior.

It's just obvious that Chris Paul next to them doesn't have so many different understandings.

He understands only one, and that is provocation!

Yes is provoking him, his team and his fans!

"Damn!"

For him, Yes's current behavior, this is the biggest provocation to him!

Originally, according to his thoughts, even if Yes was not frightened by the Thunder fan incident, it was impossible to challenge these Thunder fans when they were in their prime.

But...... And he did!

Thunder fans really don't dare to do anything to Yes!

Chris Paul exhaled deeply, yes is not the same as the dead bald head.

But just because these Thunder fans can't do anything to Yes doesn't mean he can't!

Looking out the window at the Thunder fans who were completely suppressed by Yes, Chris Paul felt extremely uncomfortable.

No need for Thunder fans to shout out fifty-eight!

Three hours later, I'll be on the pitch with my team to score the score!
