Chapter 290: Am I So Important?

Wu Huang is still waiting for the verdict of the league, although he did not disclose the content of racial discrimination to the media, but he told his teammates, coaches and bosses, otherwise no one really knows the cause and effect, or the league has already punished him before he knows, then he died unjustly?

It was he who notified James Dolan as soon as possible, so that his well-known boss had the opportunity to write a letter directly to him in front of the president, otherwise there was really a possibility that the truth would come out, but the verdict had been announced first, and it would be useless for him to calculate at that time.

The top management of the league has already made a decision at this time, and the media is in a period of hot speculation, and bullshit news such as "punching Artest and kicking Kobe" is instantly crowded with American newspapers and headlines on major websites, and all the headlines made by the news media are bloody.

But in fact, at this stage, all the media are still in the stage of forensic investigation, on the one hand, contacting the parties, players and staff of both teams to understand the details, on the other hand, studying the game footage and finding lip-reading experts to decipher the physical and verbal truth of some players, because most of the brawls are caused by verbal cannons and malicious fouls.

Emperor Wu did not come forward for the time being, let alone answer any questions, at this stage, all the spearheads were pointed at him, and he would definitely not get any benefits by showing his head at this time, so it was the best choice to hide and wait for the arrival of the counterattack.

The Lakers are unwilling to give up, especially Artest has been shouting that Wu Huang's methods are despicable, and he only dares to sneak attack from behind, and he does not dare to fight with him openly.

This is not to blame Artest is not reconciled, boxing is his favorite in addition to basketball, he admitted earlier that if he retires, he will change to boxing, on weekdays when he is fine, Atay will also use boxing for recreation, perhaps because he feels that he is very talented in this area, the beast has always been full of confidence, he even said wildly, if you can concentrate on cultivation, then within three or four years will become a famous figure in boxing.

Just ask such a confident Atai who was beaten by Emperor Wu's three-hit sneak attack and had a nosebleed, and today even one eye turned into a panda eye, and the anger in his heart can be imagined. Some of Wu Huang's fans were even more polite, and they kept laughing at Artest afterwards, ridiculing him that it would be better to change his name to "panda", but first let Wu Huang make his other eye a panda eye.

Although Wu Huang and his fans are very underwhelmed, Artest's shouting is even more unwise, this kind of shouting to fight with Wu Huang again, you can imagine how angry the league top management will be, this guy really treats the NBA as a boxing ring?

Kobe Bryant was also scolding Wu Huang for being a bastard to a reporter he knew well at this time, because after waking up this morning, one of his eyes also became a panda eye, which happened to be in the opposite direction of Artest's injury, and made a pair?!

If the two of them appeared on the court together now, they didn't know what they would be laughing at?

So the boss was so angry in his heart, he couldn't wait for the beast to peel Wu Huang and cramp, even if that bastard apologized again, it was useless.

It's just that the boss's behind-the-scenes team is much more powerful, and repeatedly reminded him not to go into battle shirtless like Artest to scold Emperor Wu, which is not good for him, so let that brainless beast charge into battle.

Wu Huang's apology is actually just a look, he is not so sincere, the perpetrator is showing his muscles in front of the girl at the moment, boasting how powerful and domineering he was yesterday "punching Artest and kicking Bryant", where does it look like there is a little repentance?

As for the temporary passivity of fan public opinion, the witty Brandon has been urgently launching a water army since last night, and he has made a move to cause trouble, with the purpose of provoking James's fans and a large number of Kohei to join in, triggering a big scuffle, and completely muddy the waters!

The specific method of this trick is very simple, these trolls will keep pretending to be James fans to taunt Kobe, all kinds of ugly words emerge one after another, and countless jokes of black Kobe have been developed by them. Of course, these paragraphs don't need to be made up, there are too many ready-made, and they can just use them.

Comey and Jamie have long been a pair of old enemies, lifelong enemies!

So as long as they start first, Komi will definitely fight back, and Zhan Mi will continue to join the battle group, and then the water will be completely mixed, and it is estimated that they will be scolded and scolded, and in the end, even they don't know what the original intention was at the beginning, and Emperor Wu's matter will naturally be diluted.

However, it is not easy to be passive in the media, and Wu Huang can only continue to be a shrunken turtle at this stage, patiently waiting for the opportunity to continue to muddy the waters.

And this opportunity, he quickly waited.

The New York Times was the first to release the video, and invited a lip-reading expert who didn't know if he was qualified to decipher the conversation between Artest and Wu Huang, and as a result, all of Mr. Peace's alleged racist words were interpreted as they were, and the report instantly threw a piece of GTX590 in the hustle and bustle of public opinion.

In the United States, the issue of race has always been a sensitive topic that violates the bottom line of social morality, especially since the black president took office, this sensitive topic has become more sensitive, so that many blacks have begun to take the initiative to use the word "racial discrimination" as their umbrella, but they don't want to think that they are the most serious group that discriminates against Chinese Americans.

Artest's insults not only include Chink and other discrimination against Chinese Americans, but also a lot of abuse against yellow people, and the New York Times also took out his previous malicious foul action and dissected it, analyzing the great danger that that action may bring frame by frame, and finally pointed out that this is why Hugo lost his cool and attacked Artest.

Da Sabi finally made a strong sigh: "What kind of anger will it take for a player who is two laps younger to take the initiative to attack an opponent who is far stronger than himself and was born into a boxing family? ”

As soon as this report came out, Mr. World Peace suddenly fell into an embattled situation, which caused condemnation from the media.

But soon, something interesting happened, a large number of black stars who dominate the NBA began to support Artest in various ways.

At this moment, a large number of white fans shouted more cheerfully, and the mainstream media began to quickly tilt towards Wu Huang.

Although the blacks have an absolute advantage in the field of sports, in other fields, they have no say, and the condemnation of the Asian media alone is enough for Artest to drink, not to mention the white people who take the opportunity to play, in short, the water is finally starting to mix.

That night, Artest made an extremely irrational choice, he actually claimed on his Facebook that the "New York Times" was spreading rumors in order to shield Emperor Wu, but he didn't want to think about it, how could such a thing spread rumors?

Soon, mainstream sports media such as ESPN also began to expose Artest's content that insulted Wu Huang at that time, and they also exposed Wu Huang's trash talk.

But as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods, Wu Huang's trash talk does not even have the slightest dirty words, although the lethality is not worse than Artest's insults, racial discrimination and greetings to the other party's relatives, but the nature of the two is different after all.

A large number of fans have also begun to gravitate towards Wu Huang, the NBA's trash talk is an art, pay attention to talking and singing, and the kind of behavior that directly insults the opponent's skin color, race and the other party's female family is the practice of street scoundrels, and they are of course supporting Wu Huang not only to anger the opponent, but also to the eyes of neutrals to be very humorous trash talk.

These fans feel that what Wu Huang is talking about is the real trash talk, he scolds the truth in three points, exaggerates in three points, and scolds the other four points in humor, which is very technical, just like talking about a talk show, but absolutely no one likes to listen to Artest and Garnett's vulgar street scolding trash.

Wu Huang found at this time that he still didn't need to stand up and speak, just let his fans and the public opinion controlled by Brandon solve the problem, and Artest, a stupid hat, kept making mistakes, and now the situation began to quietly tilt towards him.

On January 11, after a day of fermentation in the brawl, all major media in the United States were overwhelmingly condemning Artest, saying that the NBA should severely punish this "racist" and "troublemaker", and even the President of the United States ****** expressed his shock at Artest's remarks, thinking that his discriminatory remarks were very inappropriate, and the protection of black players immediately broke itself.

Emperor Wu himself didn't expect that the matter of "racial discrimination" would develop like this, it seems that he far underestimated the power of this umbrella, and he should have punched him twice more if he knew it, what a mistake!

In fact, this situation has to do with the fact that the global consumer market is tilted towards Asia and China, and the reason why public opinion is tilted in his favor is related to the fact that it is no longer whites and blacks or whites and yellows who are suspected of racial discrimination, but blacks and yellows.

At this time, the white-dominated public opinion will not easily let go of this hot news hotspot, and will definitely turn this simple stadium brawl into a worldwide topic, which will take ten days and half a month to finish.

However, the league's penalty cannot be delayed any longer, the Knicks will play against the Pacers on the road today, and the Lakers also have games to play, and if the punishment results for this court brawl are not announced before the game, at least Artest can still play.

That night, just two hours before the start of the Lakers' game, the league finally announced the results of the punishment for the vicious brawl on the court.

First of all, Wu Huang, as the perpetrator of the whole brawl, will undoubtedly bear the main responsibility, and the league's punishment for him is: suspension for 5 games and a fine of 100,000 US dollars.

Mr. World Peace was punished by the league for violating racial discrimination regulations, as well as the punishment for that malicious foul, and the nonsense he talked off the court, including a four-game suspension and a fine of $50,000.

Kobe Bryant, who has been complaining about Wu Huang in the dark, although he listened to the words of the behind-the-scenes team and did not take the initiative to stand up and participate in this matter, but after checking the video, the league still thought that his pushing action was too big, so he also made a penalty to the boss: one suspension and a fine of 5,000 US dollars.

As soon as the result of this punishment came out, Lakers fans and officials blew up instantly!

Made, are you sure you're not kidding? That damn guy threw a combination punch at Artest, and then a → hook at the boss, and he was only suspended for 5 fights? And their players were given a set of combo punches and were suspended for four games for just a few insults? How can this be fair?! And what makes them most angry is that Kobe, who innocently received a → hook punch and became half a panda today, was actually banned, which bastard came up with this penalty result?

When Wu Huang heard this punishment, he couldn't help but hug Emma Roberts beside him and kissed him fiercely, if there were only five suspension punishments, he could accept it, who let him accidentally hit Kobe, this price still has to be paid.

Look at the next five games of the Knicks, four of the opponents are weak teams, in this case, once the team overturns, it is really impossible for the Knicks to do without him, and they can't even beat the fish belly directly, and the fans will say "except for Wu Huang is a waste"!

But even if the Knicks can win five in a row next, they should achieve such results against weak teams, and it will not affect his reputation at all.

Well, Wu Huang is indeed selfish enough, at this time, he actually thinks about himself for the first time, instead of thinking about how sorry it would be if the team lost some games that should not be lost because of his suspension, his three views are really worth complaining about!

That night, Wu's suspension went into effect as the Knicks won 101-92 against the Indiana Pacers on the road.

Although the game was won, the Knicks' process of winning the game was no longer easy, and the Pacers caused a lot of trouble for the Knicks in the game, especially Darren Collison who scored 24 points and shocked Knicks fans into a cold sweat.

Stoudemire scored a game-high 26 points, Gallinari and Iguodala also scored 16 and 15 points, and the Knicks relied on star play on the road to beat the less-than-strong Pacers.

Wu Huang did not follow the team to the away game, even if the league did not announce his punishment today, he got a "second-degree malicious foul" in the last game, and according to NBA regulations, he will still be automatically suspended for one game, so the team simply let him stay in New York in order to prevent him from being harassed by the media.

Of course, according to NBA rules, a banned player is not not allowed to enter the court, but a fine of $500 is required, and if Wu Huang wants to follow the team, he will not feel sorry for the $500.

The Knicks, for their part, continue to win, and the brawls about him in the media continue to ferment, unaffected by the league's penalty decisions. On the contrary, after the league announced the punishment results, the media and fans discussed more things, such as many websites opened a vote to discuss whether the league's punishment of Wu Huang was appropriate? And was Artest's punishment just?

ESPN's poll won a large number of fans, more than 100,000 people voted in just 24 hours, but I don't know if it is because a large number of Chinese fans turned on VPNs to vote, among which in the survey of Wu Huang's punishment, 45% of fans believe that the punishment result is very fair, 25% of fans think that the punishment is too light, and 30% of fans think that the punishment is too heavy. But in the investigation of Artest's punishment, 40% of fans thought it was fair, 30% thought the punishment was too severe, and the most outrageous thing was that 30% of fans thought the punishment was too light.

This kind of voting is almost a one-sided trend, and even after Wu Huang learned the news, he felt that it must be Asian fans who were swiping up votes for him, otherwise the results would not have been so disparity.

But no matter what the reason, Wu Huang is very happy about this, he doesn't care whether the result is fair or not, and whether Asian fans are helping him, in short, his high degree of support shows that most people are towards him, and the NBA cannot support the opinions of a few people, which shows that he is right, and he can represent justice!

On January 12, just when Wu Huang won the support of public opinion and fans, and was proud, the Knicks suffered a big defeat in back-to-back games on the road, and they lost to the Phoenix Suns with a score of 104-118.

Xiao Si returned to Phoenix again, and made a joke with Nash before the game, deliberately blindfolding the Son of the Wind from behind, which made the home fans sigh.

Phoenix fans don't regard Xiao Si as an enemy, the Suns did offer Xiao Si a much worse contract than the Knicks in the summer, not only less years and salary, but also a harsh number of appearances in the last two years, which is no wonder he will leave, and anyone who changes will choose the Knicks instead of staying with the Suns.

The Knicks just had a hard battle with the Pacers yesterday, and today they flew from the East to the West all at once, and the players barely got enough rest, and the state was a mess, and even Xiao Si, who was bent on beating the Suns, was weak, and although he played positively, he was not efficient.

The Suns sit at home, although Nash and other veteran players do not hate Xiaosi, but they also do not want to lose to their former comrades, and in the end, relying on abundant physical fitness and home court advantage, the Suns, who are ranked ninth in the West, defeated the Knicks, who are ranked second in the league.

Smalls only had 20 points and 10 rebounds today, Iguodala had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Gallinari 15 points, O'Neal 10 points and 6 rebounds, and Monroe 12 points and 4 rebounds.

Nash had 20 points and 11 assists, Carter had 24 points and six rebounds, Dragic had 18 points and five assists, Gortat had 12 points and 10 rebounds, Dudley had 15 points and Hill Sr. had 15 points.

As soon as the Knicks lost, New York fans immediately remembered Wu Huang and shouted "Hugo will definitely not lose when he is there", but they didn't want to think that even if Wu Huang was present in this game, the possibility of the Knicks losing was not low.

In the NBA, the difficulty of playing back-to-back away games has always been S-level, not to mention that they were still in the East yesterday and ran to the West today, without a little rest time in between, and it is difficult for players with good physical strength to adjust their condition, and it is normal to lose this kind of game.

But Knicks fans and Wu Huang fans don't think so, they just think that if Wu Huang is there tonight, then this game will not be lost!

The next day, Wu Huang finally appeared in front of the media, he caught this time very well, everyone's eyes were focused on him for a while, but not many people regarded him as a villain who likes to fight, the dual role of personal image and public opinion made Wu Huang's reputation further improved, and Artest, who was beaten, became a villain who should be beaten, Wu Huang beat people to eliminate harm for the people, not only should not be punished, but should also be greatly praised.

This is the power of public opinion, it can turn white into black, black into white, as for the matter of punching the boss, although it was complained about by many Komi, but under the random stirring of a large number of James fans, it has long been regarded as an accident, a joke produced by a coincidence.

Wu Huang's fans now like to use this to make fun, James fans like to use it to mock Kobe, and neutral fans like to use it to joke, but it just hurts Komi and the depressed boss himself.

On January 14, the Knicks continued their road trip to the West, this time against the Sacramento Kings, the second-to-last big team in the West!

Knicks fans thought they would win easily this time, but the result surprised everyone, and the Knicks overturned in Sacramento without saying a word, and finally lost to the Kings with a miserable score of 83-93 (which is the score in reality).

This game created the lowest single-game score for the Knicks this season, and they are not playing against top teams such as the Spurs, Lakers, and Heat, they have been educated by a big bad team in the West!

As soon as this score came out, including Kings fans, they didn't expect such a result?!

In this game, the attendance rate of the king's home stadium was just over sixty percent, and most of the seats in the stadium were empty, and even their Indian princess did not go to the scene to watch the game, but went to New York to secretly date the banned Wu Huang, and the location was in the apartment where Wu Huang originally lived.

Wu Huang didn't expect this to be the result, he watched a game of his team's fiasco in his former apartment, and finally looked at the Indian girl who was jumping and jumping excitedly, and he could only smile bitterly.

Having said that, his teammates are really unreliable, and their feelings used to really depend on his stable performance, so the Knicks are so awesome, he actually underestimated his role!

Stoudemire got 24 points and 13 rebounds in this game, which is not a bad statistic, but the difference between him and Wu Huang is that he may be able to ensure that he plays well, but he can't use his play to lead his teammates, so only Iguodala handed over 18 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists today, Gallinari 12 points and 6 rebounds, and no one else scored in double figures.

After the Knicks lost Emperor Wu, the problem of inconsistent play has first been revealed.

On January 17, the Knicks continued their road trip to the West against the Utah Jazz, who had a plummeting record.

This is Wu Huang's third ban, and his brawl has begun to slowly subside, and the media has been hyping for a week, and the fans' attention to the news has gradually begun to decrease, and there is not much residual value left on this topic. Especially the Lakers and the Knicks will not play each other again this season, and there is basically no follow-up plot, and when the two teams meet again next season, Artest will not be in the Lakers at that time, and it is possible that the beast will run to the Knicks to play next year.

After the Jazz lost Boozer this year, they fell into a whirlpool of discord with the coach, and the media in Salt Lake City have begun to count down to Sloan's dismissal, because the conflict between him and the core of the team, Deron Williams, is becoming more and more irreconcilable, and now the little fat man has made it clear that either Sloan will go or he will go, and the team will choose one of the two.

Salt Lake City fans are saying, "Then you can go," but the Jazz hierarchy is going to make the opposite choice, because Sloan hasn't brought a championship to the team in two decades, so it's time for him to go.

The conflict between Delon and Sloan erupted once before the start of the season, and according to American media, Williams clashed with Sloan about 10 days before the start of the season. After the start of the season, Williams still did not fully obey Sloan, he has clashed with Sloan twice, and each time the team's top management did not listen to Sloan's advice.

Therefore, the media predicts that if the conflict between the master and apprentice continues, the veteran coach who has coached the Jazz for 23 years is likely to choose to resign, after all, after such a long coaching career, the old coach's heart is also tired.

Knicks fans and players are thinking that they should have no problem winning against such a team with a discordant coach, right?

However, it was wrong again, the final score was 125:131 (still a realistic score, the Knicks are like this in reality), the Knicks had 4 players score 20 today, but it was the Utah Jazz who won in the end.

Wu Huang was watching the game with Emma Watson on the couch in Christine's apartment today, and was directly fooled by the Knicks' performance, he couldn't figure out how his team could lose the game after playing such a good offense?

This question was not understood until he fell asleep with Christine in his arms at night.

But not only Wu Huang, but also the media don't understand why, and Knicks fans don't understand it even more.

Xiao Si, who was criticized by the media before this game, deliberately strengthened the ball to his teammates today, and cut down 22 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists of strange data, but it seems that it is still useless for the team to win.

Alston had 24 points and six assists, Iguodala had 21 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, Gallinari had 22 points, five rebounds and three assists, and O'Neal had 15 points and eight rebounds.

The Knicks didn't win with such an average score because the Jazz had three players who scored more than 20 points and three players who scored more than 15 points, and they played even better, and almost all of the players who played on the game played at their best.

It's not that the Knicks lost because the offense wasn't good enough, they lost because they didn't have any effective defense at all, and they actually let the Jazz, who averaged only 99.6 points per game this season, get a super high score of 131 points, and there was no overtime in this game, and the Jazz scored more than 30 points in the fourth quarter, this kind of defense is really no different from paper.

After this game, D'Antoni was unanimously bombarded by the New York media, believing that his poor defense led to this humiliating loss!

That's right, in the eyes of the New York media and fans, although they only lost by 6 points, it is an absolutely unforgivable result for a team that is only in 10th place in the West to score a staggering 131 points.

At this time, Knicks fans are nostalgic for Wu Huang, and like the parties concerned, they didn't expect the Knicks to regret becoming such a weak chicken without a core, and they actually lost three games in four games, and these three teams are not the top eight teams in the West, which is too embarrassing.

Now the Knicks' players are losing a bit of confidence, and Gallinari even showed a "Where am I!?" after yesterday's loss. Who's beating me!? Where's my teammates?" 's confused eyes, this is a pain!

Wu Huang couldn't believe that he was really so important, he couldn't laugh anymore, this kind of loss far exceeded his expectations, he is now worried that the team will continue to lose, so when he comes back from the next game, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover the decline. (To be continued.) )
