Chapter 318: No Regrets!
Under the huge dissemination power of the press conference, the grievances and hatred between Wang Cannon and Sterling were understood by the whole world, and many people suddenly realized that this was the case, no wonder Wang Cannon would beat Sterling like that, and any bloody and sympathetic person would probably do that.
This practice may be able to gain the support of many people, but in the final analysis, it is still a violation of the law, and the fact that Wang Dacang beat people is indeed true and has been confirmed by countless witnesses.
Some people will say that Sterling also drove into someone and escaped.
This is different, after all, it was not Stirling who was driving, but Stirling's driver, and the reason for the accident was also because Mike ignored the traffic rules, and Sterling's driver also expressed his willingness to pay for medical treatment after being called to the police station. After doing this, even if it is a police department, there is nothing to do with Sterling, but Wang Cannon is different.
Zhao Ling made the cause and effect of the matter clear, in order to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, although Sterling did not break the law, but his own approach will cause dissatisfaction among many people, especially his sentence, "It's just a yellow person." There is also a vague hint of racial discrimination in it.
As for what to do with this matter in the future, it is still impossible to know.
After Zhao Ling finished speaking, the press conference came to the part where reporters asked questions.
Wang Dacang looked at a raised hand and chose one at random.
Then a female reporter wearing glasses stood up and asked, "Mr. Wang Dacang, the impact of this incident is very huge, regardless of the consequences of this incident, will you continue to stay in the Clippers in the future?" ”
"No!" Wang Cannon's answer was categorical, "I will never continue to play on this team, and after this game, I will leave the Clippers!" ”
"So this season's Clippers. Will you continue to participate? The reporter asked again.
Wang Cannon was a little hesitant at this time, to be honest, he didn't think about these problems at all when he started, he beat Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, should he continue to play for him? Of course not, but think about it. Wang Cannon couldn't bear to let down head coach Nigro, Paul, Griffin and other teammates.
After a pause for a few seconds, Wang Cannon shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about this matter yet, and I don't know, but I think I will definitely not be able to participate in the recent game, because the league will definitely punish my actions on the field, and the ban is certain." ”
After answering a few more questions, the press conference ended hastily.
The reporters didn't have to ask any more questions, and they now had enough information to fill the pages of a newspaper. Instead of wasting time asking questions, it is better to go back to writing the manuscript earlier, and you can also get the newspaper out early to get a head start.
At the end of the press conference, Wang Dacang received another news, that is, he received a leaflet from the court, and Sterling formally accused Wang Dacang of maliciously hurting people.
Seeing this, Wang Cannon laughed happily, this Sterling is really funny, and ran to the court to sue himself. If you want to sue, just sue, it's just a big deal to match two dollars. In order to avenge Mike's revenge, he is willing to accompany him as much as he wants!
After sending the matter to the lawyer, Wang Dacang returned home and began to call his friends one by one.
The first thing he notified was a few people in the team who had a good relationship with him, including Paul and Griffin. Jordan Jr., Matthews, the four main players.
On the phone, Paul and others expressed their indignation and sympathy for Mike about Wang Cannon, and they all coincidentally paid attention to a question, that is, what will Wang Cannon do next? Do you want to continue playing with the Clippers?
For this issue. After returning home and thinking for a while, Wang Cannon had already made his own conclusion.
"If Raheem Sterling doesn't trade me out, then I'm going to keep playing this season, at least I can't let you down, right? If you don't have that championship, why are you embarrassed to run away with your tail between your legs? Wang Cannon said half-jokingly.
But he really has this idea, if he is traded away like this, he will not be able to reflect his value, if he can win another championship when he leaves, then there is no doubt that the price will increase more, and he will go more imposingly.
Of course, it will depend on whether Raheem Sterling will be angry and trade himself early.
As for the idea of winning the championship for the Clippers, is it gilding Sterling, Wang Cannon still hasn't considered it, throughout history, but when it comes to the championship, the first thing that comes to mind is not the player who won the championship? Does anyone remember which team's owner won the championship that year? No!
As for Sterling, although he really wanted to trade Wang Cannon out and let him get out early, Sterling couldn't do that.
This has to be said that when Wang Cannon joined the Clippers last year, Sterling took the opportunity to sign various business contracts with a Celestial Empire businessman.
Many of these contracts have such a condition, the Clippers must guarantee the playing rate of Wang Cannon, and if Wang is not with the Clippers, then the contract has the right to terminate early.
This has to be said that the shrewdness of the merchants of the Celestial Empire, although they went to the stadium of the Clippers to advertise, but those advertisements were still for the people of the Celestial Empire, as long as Wang Cannon was still on the Clippers and played on the court, then the Celestial Empire people could see their advertisements.
Sterling only saw the high advertising fee at the time, and agreed without thinking about other issues, and now if he traded Wang Cannon in advance, then he would lose a lot of advertising money.
This is what Sterling doesn't want to see, but continuing to let Wang Cannon play on the field is not what Sterling wants to see.
However, this matter does not need to be a headache for Sterling for the time being, because the league's punishment has already been decided.
Wang used violence on the field, banned him for eight games, fined $500,000, and went to work in the community three times.
8 games of ban, which is already quite a light punishment, but considering that Wang Cannon beat Sterling to the hospital, such a punishment seems a little light, at least in Sterling's opinion.
What made Sterling even more depressed was that after a series of reviews, the court decided to only let Wang Dacang compensate 1 million, including a series of expenses such as medical expenses and mental damages.
Sterling went crazy when he heard the news. You must know that Wang Cannon's money is all his salary! In other words, Wang Cannon beat him, and he actually used his money to do something, who wouldn't be angry? Sterling had expected the king to spend at least two days in prison.
In the face of this situation, Sterling had no choice, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere after the cannon was beaten. With a look like I was wrong and I won't dare to do it in the future, coupled with his own special identity and the interference of the Celestial Empire, this matter can only be hastily resolved in the end. After all, Wang Cannon only hit him, and if he didn't stab him with a knife, he wouldn't be to the point of going to prison.
The incident between Wang Cannon and Sterling caused a storm in the city, and it also caused the Clippers' record to plummet suddenly.
The 37-game winning streak was ended, Wang Cannon was suspended, and in an instant, the momentum of the Clippers fell to the bottom. A wave of four consecutive defeats also proves this qiē.
For the continuous failure of the game, Negro seemed very helpless, there was no way, who let his disciple Wang Cannon be such a joke? Beat his own boss, I'm afraid he can do it.
Wang Dapao's matter has won the support of a large number of people on the Internet, many people call Wang Dacang a real man, pure masters, and also call on the majority of women to marry if they meet a good person like Wang Dacang. A guy like Wang Cannon who is willing to stand up for an orphan he just knows can beat up his boss. In terms of sentiment, I didn't say anything at all.
Of course, there are also many so-called theoretical emperors who shout on the Internet that Wang Cannon is just a fool who does things without thinking about his brain and always makes brainless moves, and he also says what if he is Wang Cannon, what will he do.
For these people. Wang Cannon has always been accustomed to and ignored, anyone can say anything, but there are very few things that can be made, if someone can really do what he says, Wang Cannon will look down on him. But if it doesn't work, then Wang Cannon won't even look at him.
During this time, Wang Cannon could only follow the team every day because of the ban, watching them play on the field, this feeling was actually quite unpleasant, after all, Wang Cannon could earn reward points when he played, and it was an ocean of white flowers.
But Wang Cannon will not regret it, what he did, especially this matter, will definitely not regret it!
Wang Cannon didn't bother to inquire about Sterling, because he didn't think it was necessary. Recently, the number of teams chatting with him has suddenly become more and more, even if Wang Cannon refused the calls of the general manager of each team, but many team members still had to answer the calls.
For example, Jeremy Lin, who is now in the Rockets, and Yao Ming, who has been retired for a long time, have called him many times to ask him what he thinks of the Rockets and whether he is interested in playing with the Rockets and other things.
As a compatriot, Wang Cannon is naturally not easy to hang up the phone, but what kind of team is the Rockets? It's not that Wang Cannon blacked him, all along, Wang Cannon looked at the Rockets with a pair of colored glasses, and the Rockets' attitudes towards Francis, Maddie, and Yao Ming made Wang Cannon very unhappy with this team.
And recently, the Rockets always give some players poison contracts to force the team to give up players, which makes Wang Cannon extremely unhappy, like Asik and Jeremy Lin all got it this way.
Wang Cannon always felt that such a team could not become a strong team in the league, no matter how many superstars they exchanged.
And more importantly, Wang Cannon already has a choice for his next home, even if the Clippers choose to trade him in advance, as long as the team is not what he likes, he still will not choose to renew his contract.
With the passage of time and Wang Cannon's deliberately low-key, this matter gradually calmed down.
The world is like this, there are all kinds of big news every day, no matter how popular Wang Dacang beats the team owner, it will be quickly forgotten by people.
Wang's ten-game suspension also ended quickly, and in those ten suspensions, the Clippers lost five games, and the victory was only halfway there.
You know, in these ten games, the Clippers' opponents are not particularly strong, except for the Thunder, most of them are weak teams in the league such as the Wizards, Timberwolves, and Suns, but that's the case, the Clippers still lost 5 games, which shows how much impact the Wang Cannon incident has on the team.
The suspension is finally over, and Clippers fans are extremely looking forward to Wang Cannon's return to the court to lead the team to victory, but to their consternation, Wang Dacang still can't continue to play.
The official reply from the Clippers was that Wang Cannon was injured.
But who believes this nonsense?
Even if it's with your toes. can be imagined, this is definitely Sterling's revenge on Wang Cannon.
Paul Griffin and other Clippers said at the first time that the team needs Wang Cannon, Wang Cannon is an indispensable part of the Clippers' victory, and if there is no Wang Cannon, the Clippers' record will be very passive.
Even Clippers head coach Nigro. also vaguely expressed that he hoped that Wang Cannon could appear on the field normally.
But even so, the team doctor of the Clippers still insisted that Wang Cannon had a serious injury and could not continue to play.
Everyone knows that this is just a pretext, the Clippers' team doctor is the boss's person, he naturally has to listen to the boss, and Sterling is not ready to let Wang Cannon play.
Sterling has also figured it out, and it is obviously not cost-effective to trade Wang Cannon himself this season. Although Wang Cannon was able to trade for one or two more powerful players, he also left with the advertising expenses of those Celestial Dynasty manufacturers on the Clippers' home court.
Rather than that, it would be better to let Wang Cannon stay on the Clippers' bench until death, and Sterling would be content as long as he couldn't be seen bouncing around the court anyway.
As for the Clippers' record, I'm sorry, Sterling really doesn't care that much.
All the time. Raheem Sterling has been known in the league as a miser, a money-grubber, and so on. For him, the Clippers are just a tool to make money, and although the championship sounds good, he still doesn't want to play it with losses and the like.
For years, the Clippers haven't even paid the luxury tax on their players. It can be seen that Sterling picks the door of Cheng dù.
In any case, Sterling is the owner of the Clippers after all, and his words are higher than one qiē, no matter how dissatisfied the Clippers players are, there is nothing they can do.
Because all it takes is Sterling's words. Everyone is going to leave immediately, including the Clippers' general manager, head coach, and various assistant coaches. The same goes for the players.
This situation itself is expected by Wang Cannon, since he has already beaten Sterling, this kind of thing will definitely happen, Wang Cannon has long been mentally prepared, and naturally he will not show any indignation, and Wang Cannon will definitely not regret his choice, on the contrary, the more Sterling is like this, the more Wang Cannon feels that the punch that hit Sterling was a little too light?
However, Paul and others were indignant, especially Paul, as the chairman of the players' union, spontaneously used the power of the stadium union to win rights and interests for Wang Cannon, but with little effect.
Every day when there is no competition, Wang Cannon is quite leisurely, because Wang Cannon also has a realistic simulation system that trains every day, but he is not afraid of itchy hands, and when he is fine, Wang Cannon often runs to the hospital.
Mike still didn't wake up, Cheng Qian and Lisa went to see him every day and talked to him, but the situation was very unsatisfactory, maybe Mike would have to lie on the hospital bed like this for the rest of his life.
Wang Dacang also managed to find a lot of well-known doctors in the brain department, but it was still useless.
It is worth mentioning that because of the exposure of the press conference, many players in the society and the NBA spontaneously donated to Mike and raised a lot of money.
On the other hand, although Wang Cannon couldn't play on the court, this did not hinder his progress in the All-Star vote, and even because of this incident, Wang Cannon's votes skyrocketed for several days, directly throwing off James, Kobe Bryant and others several streets.
By the end of the All-Star voting window in early February, Wang was elected to the All-Star voting network by an absolute margin and played as a small forward in the West of the All-Star starting lineup.
This may be the first time he has started an NBA game since Wang's cannon-boxing incident.
Wang Dacang has participated in a lot less All-Star projects this year, first of all, he is no longer a rookie, and he has not participated in events such as the three-point contest slam dunk contest, and the only thing related to him during the All-Star Weekend is the All-Star Game.
All-Star Weekend starts on the 24th, 25th, 26th of February, as in previous years.
The Clippers are still three All-Stars this time, of which Paul and Wang cannons start, and Griffin can only be relegated to the bench because he does not have as many votes as Durant.
Before the start of the All-Star break, the Clippers' record gradually stabilized, although there is no Wang Cannon, the Clippers are still a strong team in the league after all, and not any team can easily defeat.
And because of the fantastic start that the Clippers have established before, so far, the Clippers' record is still at the top of the entire league, and no one can beat it.
It is worth mentioning that after the Clippers stopped their winning streak, another team in the league also started his winning streak.
This team is the Miami Heat, before the All-Star break, the Heat ushered in a wave of 11 consecutive wins, momentum, and the 11 consecutive wins are also the longest winning streak in the league this season except for the Clippers. However, because the Clippers' 37-game winning streak is against the sky, the Lakers' 11-game winning streak has not had a particularly big repercussions.
Against this backdrop, the 2013 All-Star Weekend officially began at the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets. (To be continued......)
