Chapter 468: Give Me an Explanation
David Stern is furious, and the Internet is also full of gunsmoke!
"What the hell is the referee doing? Xiao Sao actually got two technical fouls? What does Xiao Shi do in Lak? He didn't do anything, maybe he said some trash talk, but the person who was going to attack the opponent was Lagalondo, how could he give the victim a technical foul while the one who committed the violence got away with it? ”
"Now the competition feels like someone forced a fly into my throat while eating a delicious matcha cake, no, ten. It's disgusting!! Bad referee ruined the whole game!! ”
"The NBA has obviously become hostile to Xiao Xiao, maybe the league feels that they can't control Xiao Xiao anymore, so they start trying to suppress Xiao Xiao as an outlier! David Stern really should retire, now that it is an era of peace and openness, doesn't the alliance even have a heart to tolerate sloppiness? ”
"I think Xiao Sho has already offended the NBA hierarchy by humiliating Lagalondo like this, after all, David Stern said before the game started, he didn't support Dash's behavior. But apparently Xiao Dash didn't listen to David Stern's attitude, so... And so it all happened. ”
"Xiao Xiao is really a star with a tough attitude, he doesn't take the league into account at all! You look at his remarks before leaving, he seems to be ready to fight the alliance to the end! What a strong man! ”
"I'm for chic. David Stern is an organizer at best, he is not the big boss of the thirty teams, and his task is to promote and market the NBA and make the NBA teams grow in an orderly manner. Instead of meddling in other things. We can't even engage in the kind of self-respecting behavior of an independent kingdom!! ”
"The league has gone a little too far. If this matter is a big problem. It could even lead to the collapse of the entire Union! After all, no one likes to be so strongly regulated! ”
"Since Xiao Xiao didn't make a mistake in the rules, then these two T's are definitely wrong decisions. If this is really what the Alliance or David Stern meant, then this will be a key thing in the destruction of David Stern and the Alliance! ”
“……”
There is basically a voice of support for Xiao Xiao on the Internet, and it is clear that no one thinks Xiao Xiao has done anything wrong, after all, trash talk is also part of the game, and Xiao Xiao played so well, although he taught Lagalondo a very bad lesson, but he really didn't do anything wrong...... Isn't it necessary to decide a winner on the field? If a ball of harmony. Is that why not a game? Why is it called a competition?
"The referee has gone too far, this matter, even if Xiao Shao has irrational behavior in communication, he should not be blown two T's. And from the very beginning of this matter, Xiao Xiao did nothing wrong. When Paul Pierce stopped the angry Lagalondo, the referee should have warned Lagalondo, not smashed. The host of T-NT is also inclined to support Xiao San, in his opinion, Xiao Shi has not done anything wrong, and he should not suffer this unwarranted disaster at all!
"Sooner or later, the alliance will be destroyed at the hands of David Stern. David Stern is a dictator through and through, and he simply can't tolerate any player who doesn't obey his orders or is not in his control. In the past, he was able to disguise his means by building alliances to commercialize. But what about now? He's already done to Xiao Shao!! Who is Chick? Now there is no player in the world with more commercial value than him, right? But David Stern will still suppress him!! David Stern, step down!! This alliance no longer needs you to be at the helm, you have accomplished your mission! You've taken the NBA to a great position, but you don't need to expand any further! Good bye!! Charles Barkley shouted excitedly in the live broadcast, it is obvious that he was also a sufferer under David Stern.
"Obviously you're all underestimating what David Stern means to the league, and David Stern is the symbol of the NBA. It was obviously not a smart decision for Xiao Shi to declare war on the Alliance this time, and perhaps he didn't make a mistake, but by the time he left and said that, he had already pushed himself into the abyss from which he could never recover. The league can be without the sluggish, but the sluggish cannot be without the NBA, everything he has is what he has since he joined the NBA. Kenny Smith was sober and independent.
"No... It's not a question of who can't leave whom, it's a very fundamental question of human rights. If it gets big, all the NBA players will jump out against it, because as long as they attract the dislike of the league top management or David Stern, then they will get inexplicable suppression and revenge on the court, so who wants to play in such a league in the future? This has lost the principle of fair play, and if the league does not handle it carefully, then it will be the fuse that will destroy the NBA! The moderator said very seriously, he thinks this is a matter of principle, not a question of who will leave or not.
"Who says you can't leave the NBA? You have to know how much Xiao is worth now, and how many identities he has on his head. I think once Dash leaves the NBA, Hollywood will happily invite him over with fireworks, but they have always had the idea of Dash. Also, you say the NBA can be without slump? Hehe... If Xiao Shaw leaves the NBA for this reason, then I can guarantee that the NBA will definitely be devastated, at least in the Asian region, and everything that David Stern has run will be destroyed. There are other places where the NBA is no longer sacred, and the players within the NBA are revolting! There is only one final result, David Stern resigns! Because, he is just a manager, he just built a platform, he is not the boss, the real boss is the owner of thirty teams. Charles Barkley said sharply.
Kenny Smith also did not go head-to-head with Charles Barkley, and directly left this sentence: "However, if Xiao leaves the NBA." Then the Knicks definitely can't win the championship!! ”
When Barkley heard this, he subconsciously was a little speechless.
At this point, the game resumed, and although the huge Madison Garden was empty and there were no more than a hundred fans left, the game had to go on. It's better to score a win!!
The Celtics were already trailing by 31 points at this point. Suspense has basically been lost.
But the Celtics still fought hard. They want to get a big bargain for their dashing departure like they did in the playoffs in the first half of the year!
However, they got one thing wrong, and that is that the Knicks today are no longer the Knicks of last season. Last year's Knicks were less sloppy, and after Marbury, Milicic and Nate Robinson, they were a ragtag. And now the Knicks are a powerful fist! Although most of the time they are forbearing, and even rehearse various comedies in a funny way.
But. Now that Xiao Sao has been wrongfully out, they have decided to do something...... At least not to let the Celtics have the last laugh!
So, after the game restarted, the Knicks instantly showed their hideous face under the hidden mask!
The defense is fully sacrificed, like an iron bucket! The offense is also under the string of Stephen Marbury, and it is smooth!
The original contradiction between Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry has directly turned into a seamless match!
The Celts tried their best to attack, but each time they failed to return, and by the way, they lost more cities!
When halfway through the fourth quarter, the Knicks, who were sprinting with all their might, were 38 points behind, and they were powerless!
This moment. It's only the Celtics who really understand how terrible the Knicks really are...... It's horrible when these guys give it their all!!
"So this is the real Knicks!!" Doug Rivers let out a shocked sigh, and then reached out to call a timeout. Declare garbage time coming!
Doug Rivers shook his heart and surrendered. He already understands that the Knicks' intentions this year are definitely not as simple as the playoffs, in fact, he should have guessed a long time ago, how can someone so hidden in the chic be so flustered and not calm when the team is infighting, this is someone who can remotely control the head coach in the rookie season, how can he allow a second voice to appear in the team? ?
The arrival of garbage time hastened the end of the game.
When the game was over, the Knicks beat the defending champion by 45 points at home!
This is a game of chopping melons and vegetables, and the Celtics are beaten to the ground!
However, for the outside world, the result of the game is obviously not important, and such a strong point difference is not important, the important thing is that Xiao has declared war on the league!!
This is definitely the heaviest bomb news for the NBA!
The importance of this news was also confirmed in the post-match press conference, with few reporters asking questions about the result, and more questions were asked what they thought of the decision and their attitude towards the league.
The Knicks' response was very simple.
"No matter what time it is, the Knicks are Chic's strongest backing. If the league doesn't give a reasonable explanation for this, we withdraw from the NBA and then form a new league with other teams, a new NBA! Donnie Walsh said in an interview: "That's what our boss, Mr. James Dolan, meant!" In competitive competition, fairness and justice are always the most important principles! If even this principle is to be lost, the charm of competition will be completely wiped out! ”
"It was a very disappointing decision, probably the most ridiculous decision I've ever seen in my life. Xiao inexplicably got a warning, and then got two T's in a row in search of explanations, and combined with David Stern's pre-match statement, I have to suspect another thing, and that is ...... Could this have been instigated by the top of the alliance? Or more directly, could this be what David Stern meant? Stephen Marbury described the incident in very kind terms in front of the media, but every word was pushed to conspiracy theories, and put the Union and David Stern in a very insidious position!
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy! Stephen Marbury's language skills have improved dramatically, and he is no longer the one who claims to be the league's No. 1 point guard.
"If you play a wonderful game and go all out, you will get two T's, I think the NBA can be renamed the circus!" Nate Robinson obviously doesn't have Stephen Marbury's expressive ability, and his expression is very crisp and direct: "If Xiao doesn't fight, I won't fight either!" ”
Although it doesn't matter so much to the NBA whether Nate Robinson plays or not, after all, he's just a bench player, but his attitude has been very clear!
And Celtics head coach Doug Rivers spoke about it. There was no dodge either. There is no partiality. Instead, he pointed out very directly: "There is indeed a problem with the referee's logic of the decision, and the normal way should be to stop Lagalondo's negative emotions first, after all, he was really irrational at that time." Then, he can go and remind Xiao to pay attention to trash talk during the game. But... The referee made the wrong choice in the order, and then there were two consecutive errors, and he sent Xiao off with two technical fouls! This is unintelligent and unprofessional behavior. ”
When asked if the referee's decision was influenced by the league's top management, Doug Rivers was very restrained: "I don't think David Stern is the kind of manager who is extremely manipulative of players, he has a big heart to accommodate everything. Of course, it can also accommodate chic. And I think it's been a big part of the league, and he's got a lot of women who don't watch the game into the audience, and he's also expanded the NBA's influence in Asia, and there's also an impact in Europe. I don't think it's necessary for the alliance to do such a suppressive behavior against Xiao Xiao, because the gains outweigh the losses! Xiao is already the number one player in the NBA! ”
Doug Rivers sided with the league top and David Stern throughout. So the reporter asked him a third question: "So what do you think the referee made such an illogical decision?" ”
"Who knows? People get confused sometimes, right? Doug Rivers said ambiguously, he obviously didn't want to distinguish between right and wrong in this matter!
At the end, Doug Rivers also said meaningfully: "The Knicks are stronger than I thought, and they will surprise everyone this year!" ”
Doug Rivers said this meaningfully, but when he heard it, people didn't pay attention. Even the reporters didn't report it, after all, the bigger news now is a matter of Xiao Dash competing with the entire league!
Next. All the headlines in the major sports news are indeed the news of Xiao and the public break with the league's top brass.
When this news spread, it immediately sparked a discussion in the entire basketball circle and even the sports circle.
And the surprising thing is that although there are too many players in this league who don't like Dash, there are still too many basketball commentators in the United States who still have opinions about Dash. But this time, they didn't fall into the trap and didn't add fuel to the fire...... So, you're out of the NBA!
"I watched the whole process of that unbelievable penalty, and if it was really the league top brass or David Stern's suppression of the scruples, then the Dallas Mavericks would also be out of the NBA. I have no intention of supporting Xiao, but in terms of principle, I will not give an inch!! "Mark Cuban, the NBA's most individual owner, spoke openly to the media, and his words were powerful because he decided whether a team would stay or not!!
All the clues to this matter point to David Stern, and David Stern needs to make an explanation. Also, the referee has to be investigated, because no matter what, that decision is not normal. It is possible that he was involved in gambling, or that he received some benefits, and even more likely that he received some instructions. Either way, the Inquisitors' Guild should expel him! Lakers star player Magic Johnson said.
"Actually, this is not a matter of one person, this matter is related to the fairness and justice of the entire NBA. If this unreasonable whistle continues to run rampant, the entire NBA will be ruined. And if the decision was really dictated by David Stern, then... It's terrible! So says Bill Simmons, a well-known basketball commentator, who has been a pioneer in opposition and picking!!
"The alliance officials should stand up and make an explanation!"
“……”
Countless voices came out, almost one-sidedly on Xiao Sao's side.
At this time, Xiao Sa also held a press conference. He pulled out the audio of the game...... In this year's game, the core players will have a radio pinned to them, on the one hand, to let the audience feel more directly what is happening on the field, and on the other hand, it is actually based on the referee's law enforcement needs.
When all the audio was exposed, everyone found that there was no disrespect in the communication between Xiao and the referee...... Chic's request is actually very reasonable, just want an explanation, that's right! How can this anger the referee? How could this make him give two T's in a row?
"I don't understand why I was ejected so far, and the league hasn't given me an explanation so far. I don't think I did anything wrong in the ring, trash talk was part of the game, although I kept irritating Lagalondo throughout the game, I never attacked in person, not even foul language, I am a civilized person! ”
"I can understand David Stern's mood as he tries to take control of the league and push it to higher positions, but... I have my personality and I have my way of dealing with it. When someone offends me on the pitch, my way is to fight back on the pitch and make the opponent regret their offense and sincerely repent! That's my way of doing things, maybe it's sharp, but I'm not going to change it! ”
"I hope this has nothing to do with Mr. David Stern, who in my mind is a very good organizer and manager who should focus on other places. I'm not going to break this alliance, and I'm not going to make it worse. ”
"But if it's really related to the top of the league, then... Make a decision! ”
"It's not something for me alone, it's about all the players in the league."
"Come on, I want an explanation!"
"Give me an explanation!"
