"I'm really sorry for what the Spurs and Pacers did during the game, and on behalf of the NBA, I would like to sincerely apologize to all the fans and media who followed this game."

"This game between the Spurs and the Pacers is the most watched game of all the games in this round, it is a game that the entire North American sports and media world has paid special attention to, this is a game that is broadcast live to the world, this is a grand event for all basketball lovers, but what the Spurs and the Pacers have done has seriously hurt the feelings of all the fans who like them, and what they have done has hurt the entire NBA league and all NBA fans."

"On behalf of the NBA, I am announcing penalties of $250,000 for the San Antonio Spurs and $150,000 for the Indiana Pacers."

"At the same time, after discussions between the league and all teams, we unanimously decided that there will be a clause on the rotation of any team and any player, and the rest of any team and any player must not harm the interests of the league and fans, otherwise, the league will severely punish them."

On March 27, 2006, the day after the Spurs' game against the Pacers on the road, NBA commissioner David Stern held a press conference to punish the Spurs and Pacers for the embarrassing scene in the game between the Pacers and the Spurs yesterday.

The Spurs and Pacers are undoubtedly the two strongest teams this season, and the two teams currently ranked first in the East and West respectively, have each led the competitors behind them by more than a dozen wins when there are more than a dozen games left in the regular season.

However, after the start of this game, it immediately aroused the anger of everyone, the visiting San Antonio Spurs directly rested Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili three All-Stars, and the Pacers also rotated Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey, and Tyshawn Prince The three main players, you must know that in today's game, the cheapest tickets were fried to $2,000, and the first row on the sidelines was fried to $26,000, countless fans, and a large number of Hollywood stars who came to rub the heat, Politicians, businessmen, took out a lot of dollars, but what they saw was a substitute battle, although on the Pacers' side, Meng Xu still started, but Meng Xu only played 21 minutes, and then sat on the bench to rest.

It is conceivable how such a game will affect the NBA, and a large number of celebrities and politicians who came to watch the game expressed their dissatisfaction after the game. Today, when Internet social networking has become increasingly prosperous, under the leadership of these "gods" who have spent a lot of money but only saw a substitute battle, a war of words against the Spurs and the Pacers has quickly spread on the Internet.

The NBA management, which was already very dissatisfied with the Spurs and the Pacers, reacted in a very short time after seeing these "public opinions", David Stern first convened the management of all 30 teams in the NBA league, held a meeting of unified thoughts, and then voted to approve several agreements, and finally decided to severely punish the Spurs and Pacers for their actions.

After the league announced the penalties for the Spurs and Pacers, the Pacers chose to swallow their anger and obediently paid a $150,000 fine, while the Spurs were different, Popovich first expressed his "disappointment" in the league's decision in an interview with reporters, and then made a very rare public comment on David Stern's decision.

"I have reservations about the league's punishment, of course, we will definitely appeal, throughout the month of March, we will play 15 games, including 11 on the road, including the away game against the Pacers, we will play four away games in six days, the players are also people, they are not machines that do not need to rest, so here, I also suggest that the league can review their schedule by the way while punishing us."

"I made this decision from the point of view of a coach, and I think the league is dealing with it from a business point of view, which reflects some of the principles they do."

"How dare Greg say that about David Stern." Looking at Popovich, who was gushing about his dissatisfaction on the TV, Meng Xu was still a little surprised, don't look at the league now being enthusiastic about the Spurs and the Pacers, but as the leader of this league, David Stern definitely wants to put a small shoe on Popovich after seeing Popovich's attitude, but with the Spurs' current record, it doesn't matter if he wears small shoes or not, as long as the remaining 13 games, the Spurs can win 3 games, then the Spurs' first position in the West will be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Xiao Xu, Yahoo has raised the offer to $1 billion." Just when Meng Xu was grinning while watching TV, He Hui, who had just finished answering the phone, patted Meng Xu on the shoulder and told Meng Xu a good news with a little excitement.

"Mark, what's that saying?" After more than 2 years of development, Facebook has become a social network with nearly 10 million users, and the booming Facebook has naturally attracted the attention of countless predators, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have successively proposed acquisition intentions to Mark Zuckerberg, but they were rejected by Mark Zuckerberg, and Yahoo, who did not give up, raised the acquisition offer again after being rejected by Mark Zuckerberg.

"He said that Yahoo didn't know the value of Facebook at all, and Yahoo didn't have a detailed and long-term plan for Facebook's future, so he wouldn't sell Facebook to Yahoo, and if we were going to sell Facebook's shares, he would be willing to buy it back under the repurchase agreement."

"$1 billion is a little too little." After two rounds of capital injection, the 5M company held by Meng Xu and others now owns 37.5% of Facebook's shares, but Meng Xu, who has already known in advance how brilliant Facebook's future will be, will definitely not sell the shares in his hands, even if in order to go public in the future, the 37.5% shares will go through rounds of dilution, which is also at least hundreds of billions of dollars worth of shares, if it is sold now for hundreds of millions, it will definitely regret death in the future.

"That Reggie, and James they 。。。。。。 there" No one can resist the temptation of the dollar, not to mention the astronomical amount of nearly $400 million, so several other shareholders of 5M are biased towards selling their shares, as long as Yahoo successfully acquires Facebook, then 5M's shares can be divided into 375 million US dollars, and the investment of less than 20 million US dollars in two years has obtained nearly 20 times the income, which is definitely a very successful investment.

"I went and told them that Mark had a good point, they don't know the value of Facebook at all, and maybe in the future Facebook will grow into a behemoth like Microsoft and Google."
