Chapter 490: We Were Wronged

The news that Li Liang was going to hold a press conference quickly spread throughout the United States sports circles.

After listening to Li Liang's call, Wei Dazhi immediately posted a message on Twitter, which was wildly reprinted.

About fifteen minutes after the news was sent, the NBA official made a penalty decision, and Li Liang was banned for two games for malicious fouls and fined $50,000.

To be honest, this penalty is within the normal range.

After all, Li Liang made a move in the game, and it is normal for him to be banned from the game.

Back then, like Kobe Bryant and Miller in the game, he was also banned for two games after the game.

There was also an elbow to Mike Miller, who was also suspended for two games afterwards.

From this point of view, the NBA's suspension punishment is quite fair and just.

Therefore, people will wonder, why did Li Liang suddenly hold a press conference?

Does he want to apologize?

It doesn't make sense, Li Liang will apologize? I'm afraid it's not a dream.

If you don't apologize, then you will definitely curse at the press conference.

This is worth it, Li Liang wants to scold, this is a big deal in the NBA circle.

It is worthy of the NBA's unlimited mobile traffic package, and it will soon contribute a lot of attention to the NBA.

On the Clippers' side, Rivers, Mike Brown and Ballmer all received the news and called Li Liang one after another to ask him what the situation was.

Li Liang said that I have something to say, "but rest assured, it will not be bad for the Clippers." ”

Feel relieved? Rest assured.

What happened to Li Liang with the Lakers when he was a rookie is still impressive.

As soon as he was selected, he dared to criticize the team on the first day of the press conference, and later had a conflict with the small boss.

Now that I don't talk about beating people, I have to hold a press conference, can this not make people worry?

But this is the United States, speech is free, and you have to let him say whatever he wants.

If you interfere with his freedom of speech, you are doing more than anything he says.

He just scolds "M" with a big horn, and you have to allow him to scold, and then decide how to kill him after scolding.

Soon, Wei Dazhi made arrangements for Li Liang, and the venue of the press conference was set in the lobby of the ESPN office building.

Because it was very temporary, the venue of the press conference was relatively simple.

But ESPN knew that this could be big news, so they fully cooperated, and quickly set up a curtain in the hall for the interview, and arranged microphones, cameras and other equipment.

To be honest, such a scene is very, very rare in the history of the NBA.

It's just a regular season game, a punch to someone, a two-game ban, it's not a big deal.

There have been such big battles before, and it has been news such as Michael Jordan announcing his comeback.

Could it be that Bruce Lee is going to retire because of the ban?

No one knows, everyone is weird, but they are also looking forward to it.

Some experienced reporters with relatively high political sensitivity smelled something different.

While the beating was minor, the timing was delicate, as it was Stern's first day out of office and Adam Silva took office.

If this little thing goes wrong with it, it will be a blow to Adam Silva.

So after Li Liang made the decision to hold a press conference, he also received a call from the NBA office to inquire about the situation.

Li Liangdu kept silent.

The NBA's public relations department sprang into action, and they were wary of Bruce Lee's destructive power, especially the experienced Stern.

On the contrary, Xiao Hua felt that he didn't need to care too much, he was really confident.

Don't you know that Li Liang is going to target you this time?

Li Liang arrived at the ESPN lobby at around 3 p.m., where many reporters were already waiting.

Wei Dazhi was the first to catch up, grabbed Li Liang, and said, "Hey, what are you going to say, can you get to the bottom of it?" ”

Although Wei Dazhi single-handedly arranged this press conference, he didn't ask a word from beginning to end, and handled things properly.

But he also has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know what Li Liang wants to do.

I have known Li Liang for so long, and what happened to Li Liang in the past two years is quite mysterious.

However, Wei Dazhi's mind was very clear, he hugged Li Liang's thigh tightly and didn't let go, as for why he was so awesome, why he suddenly rose, and there were many unreasonable reasons, he didn't bother to figure it out.

At this press conference, Wei Dazhi was worried that Li Liang would blow himself up, and if he blew himself up, it would be a pity!

Whose thighs will you hug in the future?

Li Liang said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. ”

After speaking, Li Liang walked up to the stage, the camera clicked, and all the reporters' microphones and cameras were aimed at him.

Li Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sad expression suddenly appeared on his face.

At this moment, Li Liangliang Chaowei possessed his body, and his eyes revealed a kind of melancholy, sadness and a faint sadness - that was Chen Yongren's expression when he watched Officer Huang being thrown down from the building and fell to his death.

The reporters below were all infected by Li Liang's expression, thinking, what the hell is wrong, why does this star who is thriving in the NBA have such a sad look?

Did he use onions?

No, Li Liang said: "Thank you very much for coming to this press conference, this is a temporary decision, but I am very grateful to get your attention." Something unpleasant happened in yesterday's game, I clashed with the Warriors players, I made some mistakes and got my hands done in front of a lot of people, and I know there are a lot of kids in the NBA fans, and it's a bad example......"

Li Liang's opening remarks made many people's hearts settle, and it turned out that he was deliberately apologizing, but shouldn't you say it after the game?

Why did you delay it for a day and wait for the punishment to come out, and there was a press conference, as for it?

No, there must be content to come.

Sure enough, after Li Liang apologized, especially to the fans, he changed his words and began to make bigger moves.

"But as you all know, I've always been decent on the court, easy-going, elegant, and I've always been a decent guy. It was by no means a spur of the moment that I made a move against Bogut yesterday, but a long accumulation of anger, because the whole alliance treated me unfairly! ”

As soon as Li Liang said this, the sweat pores of many people below stood up.

It's not a small problem to treat a player unfairly!

Especially Li Liang's special identity, he is a Chinese, Asian player, a minority among minorities.

For all Americans, the issue of race and color will always be a high-voltage line.

Of course, this high-voltage line is mainly on the black side, for Asians...... It doesn't seem to be so high-pressure.

But that doesn't mean discrimination against Asians can be put on the table.

All the reporters pricked up their ears, they knew it was going to be something big.

"I've won a lot of accolades in the NBA, and I've brought it all to me. I've done a lot of miracles that no one else can imagine, and I've done amazing things on the field, but even that can't change the deep-seated discrimination of some players. ”

Li Liang began his "accusation", and his expression was quite in place, with a bitter and bitter face.

Li Liang began to talk about how some of his players on and off the field looked at him with colored glasses, and used some "insulting" words against him, such as the Chinese guys.

There is also a headline poster on the theme of Fu Manchu drawn by the New York Post, which has also become one of the contents of discrimination.

"I have enough honor, but not enough respect."

Li Liang summed it up like this.

To be honest, there is indeed prejudice against Asians and Chinese Americans within the NBA and even in American society.

Moreover, behind the scenes, there are more or less people who are dissatisfied with Li Liang's identity as a Chinese, and the situation of calling him "Chinese Yankee" does exist.

It's just that Li has a great conscience, so he is not as sensitive as black people, and he can't talk about his skin color at every turn.

China's thousands of years of splendid civilization, complete and independent history and national personality, and national spirit of striving for strength can rely on skin color to strive for dignity and respect?

Joke!

But follow the local customs, since you Americans like this set, then Li Liang will return the favor with the other way.

As soon as these words were spoken, many reporters knew that something was wrong.

The NBA and the new president will definitely be caught up in the storm of public opinion.

As for the NBA players and staff, seriously, they were wronged!

You say that we discriminate against Asians and Chinese, then it is still possible, after all, the social atmosphere is like this.

But you say we discriminate against you Li Liang?

How dare we!

Look at the NBA referees, one by one, they are about to treat you as a father, have you ever seen such discrimination?

Who scolded you on the field? Who would dare to scold you?

I'm afraid I'm not scolded for being out of Xiang.

However, after Li Liang said this, it was not just Li Liang's business.

He expanded the incident to the whole of American society, to the entire circle of public opinion, and even to the other side of the ocean.

After all, there is really a lot of discrimination and insult against Chinese people all over the world.

It's just that no influential person has ever stood up and pierced this layer of window paper.

Li Liang stepped forward, but he mainly wanted to complete the task.

After a tearful accusation, the subtitles in front of me appeared:

[Congratulations on completing the mission, obtaining the achievement Los Angeles Mouth Emperor, and receiving the reward: David Stern's simulation world, please check it out in the system.] 】
