Chapter 226: Broken Ships and Scumbags (Medium)
However, Baylor didn't say that, it's okay, so it just makes Sterling's ability to play around, for Baylor's accusations, Sterling repeatedly claimed that he didn't know that he was an NBA celebrity when he hired Baylor, and thought that this big black man was just a postman, and his monthly salary of 3,000 yuan was not less.
So the Lakers' fame (let's call it that way!) His general manager did a really bad job, although Sterling could block the gun) Elgin Baylor eventually lost the case, and although he later appealed, the end result was that the charges were not settled, and he had to drop the charges. (The judicial process in the United States can't afford it, especially civilians!) It's not negotiable to trap you to death, rich people can drag you to death with money! )
This is Sterling, who can mess around at any time, and while his stinginess is despised by outsiders, Sterling's allies are envious of his miraculous recipe for keeping operating costs down.
However, there are always evil people who grind, and the 2014 NBA playoffs are in full swing, but outside the court, Clippers owner Donald Sterling's words have stirred up a thousand waves, and he was exposed by the famous American gossip website TMZ to record racist remarks, causing an uproar.
And the trigger for this incident was that Sterling's little girlfriend wanted to attract a few fans, so she posted a photo with "Magic" Johnson on social media and lost her temper and called her.
He said to his little girlfriend, "I am so angry that you want to advertise that you are with a black man, do you have to do this?" You can sleep with black people, you can take them home, you can do whatever you want. I only ask you for one small thing, and that is not to make such a big deal and advertise it...... Also, don't bring them into my game. ”
As for the ellipsis is just a fig leaf for Sterling from the media, his remarks have offended the taboo "racial discrimination" of the Union and even the United States. Although Sterling said that the content of the tape was untrue and was cut and pieced together to frame him, this remark has caused heated discussions in the NBA and even in the United States, and many people have expressed resistance to Sterling.
----------
The other party in the incident, Magic, updated Twitter one after another after the incident, saying in the original article that "the Clippers owner doesn't want me or other African Americans to go to the game, as long as Sterling is the owner of the Clippers for a day, my wife and I won't go to the Clippers game, it's an NBA scandal." ”
This incident has also attracted the close attention of the President of the United States, O'Guanhai, who said in his speech, "We have made a lot of progress, but every once in a while similar problems still arise, and I think we need to clearly condemn this opinion and educate our children not to be fooled by such statements." On the other hand, why such statements always cause an uproar just shows that most of us are changing for the better. ”
This is the first serious negative incident for the new NBA commissioner Adam Shaw, and like his predecessor, Sterling became the first test of the president, but his test was much simpler, so he responded very quickly: the league will start investigating the matter, carefully study the relevant evidence, and will consider punishing Sterling after the investigation.
The media have already reported the definite evidence! This survey is more of a formality!
Michael Jordan, who is both the NBA's former superstar basketball god and the owner of the Bobcats (he really believes in the path to becoming an owner), was furious when he heard this. "As a team owner, I obviously hate that a peer should have such a pathological view, and as a former NBA player, I feel very angry, and I am appalled that such ignorant views are still present in our country, in our highest level of sports leagues, as well as in the NBA.
It's no wonder that His Majesty the Flyer is so angry, he was fooled by the old immortal in the Wizards, and as a result, he made a lot of efforts to help the Wizards climb from the trough to the middle of the stream, but after Jordan retired again, he was kicked out of the team! That goods and Sterling are just half a pound!
Heat star LeBron said: "If our owner said something like that publicly, I would consider a walkout, and I can't imagine this kind of thing in the playoffs affecting the team." But Donald Sterling has no place in the league and shouldn't be. ”
Even Wade's fiancée, Union, responded to the incident, posting a photo of herself with the magician and Wade on Instagram. And wrote: "I support magicians. #魔术师已经买下了快船队. (Something seems to be exposed?) In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that the magic wants to buy the Clippers but the money is not enough, and he wants to pull people to partner, but there are too few interested people, and in the end it seems that it can't be done, and it seems that Beyoncé wants to buy rockets now and is silent. )
And many well-known stars in the NBA also responded to this incident, at this time, CP3 Paul, who has been traded to the new core of the Clippers and chairman of the union, also stood up and said: "On behalf of the players' union, I said that this matter is very serious, and we will take serious measures." The union has teamed up with Mayor Kevin Johnson to respond, but as individual players, we still have an obligation to play the playoffs for our fans and fight for the Finals. ”
In short, this boss got the retribution he deserved, and the owner of the Clippers finally changed, and the effect was immediate, at least he could enter the playoffs! It's still sucking though! Adam Shaw can be regarded as doing what his predecessor did not do! It can be regarded as a good start for his career as president.
---------
Huang Yu, who was shooting indiscriminately, returned to the bench under the order of the assistant referee, and waited for the game to start, because Huang Yu was not a starter, so as long as he stood off the court.
After the pre-game ceremony, the starters came on the court, the referee stood in the center circle and watched, then blew the whistle to throw the ball away, and the Clippers' starting center Chris Carman jumped at the same time as Bynum.
Syllable!
It was clear that Bynum's ability to jump without being distracted was a cut above Chris Kaman, and he easily dialed the basketball to Fisher.
Fisher, who received the ball, did not rush in, but ran steadily forward with the ball.
The old fish dribbled the basketball to a step outside the three-point line, and Baron Davis clung to it, the old fish knew that he couldn't get rid of him, Barlong Davis can be said to be an outlier among point guards, of course, before Westbrook grew up, although Delon was about the same tonnage as the two of them, but his knowledge was fat! Physical fitness or something, hehe!
At the moment when he clinged closely, the old fish suddenly threw the basketball into the penalty area...... The basket flew straight to the rebound.
Kobe, who led Eric Gordon to the bottom line, quickly cut into the restricted area, rushed into the paint area, took a step and immediately jumped high, stretched out his ape-like long arm to grab the basketball in the air, and stuffed it heavily to the basket...... Rumble!
The first ball was an aerial relay, and immediately Staples exploded.
----------
The fans at the scene were very excited, you must know that even Lakers fans don't see Kobe Bryant playing such a difficult aerial relay every season, and as he gets older, Kobe Bryant has gradually reduced such a powerful scoring method over the years! It's also a process that a great scorer has to go through.
As soon as you turn 30, you will immediately feel that your body seems to have aged a lot! In particular, athletes are very sensitive to their bodies, and at this time, players inevitably have to take care of their bodies, such as reducing some dangerous moves and appropriate rotations, but the rotation is a very luxurious thing in the Lakers.
When Huang Yu was a rookie last season, he had a few rotations before the All-Star, but after the All-Star, it was difficult for Huang Yu to get a chance to take a rotation in addition to being banned, and there was no way to let himself have a boss who led by example! Kobe Bryant didn't say a round show, what right do you have as a rookie?
Not everyone is the same as the Spurs' old man Popovich, even if you fine me, I should take a turn off and a show! This is also the reason why the Spurs have been able to use three sets of carriages for more than ten years, except for replacing some necessary parts, basically the GDP These three old guys are supporting the Spurs.
----------
Kobe Bryant faces Eric Gordon! Artest faces Elsorton! Gasol faces Marcus Camby! Bynum vs. Kriskaman! The old fish has to face Baron Davis!
This is the starting comparison of the two teams, except for Baron Davis, who is a big threat to the Lakers, the rest are either newcomers or veterans who are nearing the end of their careers! The only stalwarts Carman, due to the waste of his rookie season, the data has not been very good!
Eric Gordon was ahead of Huang Yu, although he had a good rookie season and won the Rookie of the Month after Huang Yu! But the whole process is the existence of being crushed by the yellow rain!
Facing the seriously inexperienced Eric Gordon Bryant, he directly turned on the god-killing mode and continued the attack momentum of the previous game! scored 9 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 block in the first quarter, and easily locked Eric Gordon, making him shoot 0 of 3 in the first quarter, and Kobe's block was given to him.
The Zen master saw that Kobe Bryant's hand was excellent, so he let him play for a while, and only replaced Huang Yu in the second quarter.
The Lakers, who are almost five up and five down, began to play small-ball tactics, Powell, Odom partnered on the inside, Huang Yu and Shannon Brown and Famar contributed to the backcourt, which directly doubled the speed and rhythm of the Lakers' attack.
The Clippers, who were at the bottom last season, didn't have any commendable trades in the offseason, and Randolph was gone, although there was a champion who joined, known as the White Monster! But before I played, the TM season was reimbursed! This made the already stretched Clippers and bench lineup even more miserable.
As soon as the Lakers picked up the speed, the Clippers players suddenly couldn't accept frequent mistakes! As a result, the point difference was quickly opened! In the end, the coach of the Clippers could only replace Baron Davis, who had not rested for long, to suppress the offensive rhythm of the following Lakers!
But the Lakers bench lineup that has been smoothed, what kind of super point guard do you care? (Baron Davis was strong at this time!) Directly cut him off from the rest of the Clippers and let Shannon Brown and Famar wrap him! And Huang Yu is waiting for an opportunity to ambush around, as long as he passes the outside line, he will reach out and steal.
As a result, within 2 minutes, Huang Yu got three steals, two intercepted a pass from Baron Davis, and one cut directly from the Clippers' backup point guard.
