On the building in Manhattan, Stern looked at Artest, who bowed deeply in front of the camera, and the applause from the audience, and his worried brows gradually relaxed.

Until then, he had never wanted this hurtful dog to be released.

God knows exactly how hard the league spent to heal the bad effects of that game.

The image of the NBA, which he has worked so hard to run since he came to power, was almost ruined by that game.

You must know that in order to clean up the image of the player team, anyone who is found to smoke D in urine will be directly banned by the league indefinitely.

It's perfectly okay not to let him retire directly, and the ban for an entire season is not unjust at all.

Artest did not show any remorse during the ban, nor did he show the professional attitude that a player should have, did not train with the team, but took his wife to wander around the United States, held concerts with various singers, played quite high, and did not want to "reduce the sentence" attitude at all.

In February, he also released a rap, holding grievances about his situation, secretly saying that the alliance was unfair, and even faintly expressed the idea of wanting to leave the team.

The media is quite happy, but the adults who watch the excitement are quite speechless.

The league did not block Artest's comeback in the playoffs in the previous punishment, honestly went to participate in community service, and rubbed a charity event to whitewash his image a little, it's not that there is no chance, you just die like this, isn't that hurting the team.

In the end, it was Miller and Bird who went out together to catch this Hanhan in New York.

"Do you know what you're doing, Ron?"

"I still feel like we still have a chance... Ha··· Phew, you've always belittled Jermaine before and always dropped the chain at critical moments and disobeyed him, but in my opinion, you're even softer than him, and you're not fit to be the boss of the Pacers! ”

"Everybody is working towards a goal, and you, what do you feel like? Deserter! ”

Instead of a loud reprimand, Miller was saying something inconsequential in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I'm not a deserter!" Artest retorted loudly.

"Huh!"

"I'm not!"

"Huh!"

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not..."

Artest's tone gradually became high, and the manic Atay was like an emotionally out of control beast directly incarnated as a [Desktop Cleaning Master], and everything on the coffee table was cleaned in three or two clicks.

Larry Bird, who had been standing at the window without speaking, took the cigar from his mouth, picked up the overturned ashtray from the ground, extinguished the cigar, and then pulled Miller up and was about to take him out.

"Okay, let's go, don't say he's a deserter, and you don't plan to retire at the end of this season?"

"What?" Artest seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water, and immediately came back to his senses, and looked up at Larry Bird and asked.

But Bird ignored him, but put his arm around Miller's shoulders and walked out.

It wasn't until he reached the door of the room that Bird stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of Artest.

"I'm not going to advise you to go back, Ron, I'm just here to tell you that if the Pacers can't win a championship this season, I'm going to trade you off the offseason, like that, Indiana ... There is no place for you anymore. ”

There was a hint of tiredness in Big Bird's tone, the lineup that had been built with great care for many years, it was time to harvest, but it fell to the dust overnight, except for Reggie Miller, he was the most seriously injured.

As Bird and Miller quietly closed the door and left, the only thing left in the quiet room was the sound of a watch on the wall.

After a few moments, Artest kicked over the coffee table in front of him, and the hard tempered glass shattered all over the floor.

"I'm not..."

Three days after the two left, Atai asked people to find connections and completed an interview with Stern.

After that conversation, Artest returned to Indiana for a press conference.

Iverson said "training" 22 times in front of the camera to complete the transformation from superstar to thorn, while Artai said "sorry" 23 times in front of the camera but couldn't change from thorn to good guy.

When he returned to the team, he felt the reproachful eyes of his teammates, but instead of complaining or getting angry, he trained alone and participated in community service alone.

Stern also didn't expect that Atay would be able to complete the league's goal of 100 hours of community service in less than a month.

After the regular season, the league has not released a specific disposition of the Artest playoffs, and the Pacers held a press conference to announce Miller's retirement plan.

There is no retirement tour, and this year's playoffs are his curtain call.

Somewhat sudden, but also expected.

Miller is 40 years old, and while he averages 14 points per game in the regular season, his slower pace has made it difficult for him to stay decent.

This year's playoffs are the last chance for him, a legendary veteran, to win the championship.

"Give him a chance, he already knows he's wrong."

At the end of the press conference, Reggie Miller made a deep bow and said his last request as a 20-year veteran.

And Artest, who was hiding in the corner and seeing this scene, finally stopped Bengbu, left the scene as if fleeing, and rushed into the nearby toilet.

Nothing to do...

Well, I ate a bad stomach yesterday, and it was sparse, and it was waste paper.

Stern wasn't the kind of person who was unkind, just look at how many No. 1 signatures he sent during his reign.

Miller's image isn't particularly good, but as "Jordan's lifelong enemy" he deserves a decent curtain call.

Therefore, for the sake of Artest's good remorse in the past month or so, the league finally only gave Artest a four-game ban in the playoffs.

After four games, Auburn Hills can be regarded as a turning page.

This time back, Artest didn't say anything big as usual, but kept thanking and introspecting at the press conference.

Everyone could see that the reckless man who used to speak never had a brain had changed.

Although he still looks naïve, his eyes reveal maturity.

Maybe a man's maturity starts with guilt.

Mo Wen in front of the TV looked at the strange and somewhat familiar Atai, and subconsciously rubbed his biceps.

Troublesome.

Catherine went back, and he didn't have a masseur by his side, how could that be good?

······

Entering May, the NBA's honors have also begun to be evaluated.

However, what Mo Wen didn't expect was that the first honor he determined turned out to be-

The world's 50 most beautiful celebrities of the year!

Not only did he make the list, but he even made it to the top ten!

Well, it's not really a serious accolade, it's a ranking based on feedback from readers around the world.

It is said that it is all over the world, but in fact, it is mainly aimed at female readers of school age in the United States.

He's the only player to be selected in the NBA, but he's not the highest-ranked player in sports.

The highest ranking in the sports circle is Baker Hamburger, who is ranked third... Wrong, it's David Beckham.

However, if only men are selected, he is only behind Xiaobei, the second handsome in the world.

In addition to rankings, People Magazine will also select some specific appearances, such as Jessica Simpson was named "Best Hairstyle", Angelina Jolie's "Most Beautiful Lips", and Halle Berry was selected as "Most Beautiful Body Type" by a narrow margin.

Mo Wen also had a share, and he was awarded the "Most Perfect Abs" award with 80% of the votes.

This is definitely an unexpected surprise, and it doesn't mean that he's allergic to his shirt after training his muscles like Da Dan.

It's really Miami, this place is what you can do when it's hot.

When he sweats, he has to take off his clothes, so he doesn't want to give benefits to the group of female fans screaming on the sidelines.

This ranking has been announced, and it has caused a big stir around the world.

For the first time in history, two sports stars dominate the top two of the world's most handsome men.

Many public figures in China used to say that Mo Wen was just a sports star, nothing remarkable, and he was directly slapped in the face.

As we all know, Chinese people love such things as rankings, especially when the names of Chinese people appear on the rankings made by foreign authoritative media.

No. 2 in the world, No. 1 in Asia, this is Moge's hand!

Many girls were not interested in basketball, but when they learned that the world's second coach was their brother, their enthusiasm suddenly rose.

looked at Mo Wen's handsome photos again, and learned that this was a 1.9-meter-tall rich and handsome time.

Isn't there a male protagonist who dreams?

Mo Wen's poster and jersey are out of stock once again.

On the side of the basketball court, the number of girls has also skyrocketed.

A member of a K-pop boy group said in front of the camera that he felt more handsome, and he was sprayed by the fans who were all over the world.

Mother, do you dare to touch our family?

Even the fledgling Hallyu has the meaning of being boycotted domestically.

The mood at home is not felt by Mo Wen, but in Miami, it is indeed becoming more and more dangerous.

Mo Wen took the bodyguard to the beach for a walk, and after he didn't go far and was recognized by a girl, he was surrounded by a group of hot sisters.

Even though the two bodyguards tried their best to protect him, Mo Wen's shirt was still missing.

I don't know how many small hands are attacking his abdominal muscles, if it weren't for Mo Wen's desperate lifting of his pants, his 28 might be exposed today.

finally waited for the police to come and disperse the crowd, and Mo Wen's two bodyguards almost didn't cry.

They have been in the industry for seven or eight years, and this is the first time they have encountered this kind of scene.

If it's a man, they might have to pull out a gun if they come around like this, but because of the existence of certain organizations, they really can't beat women.

In order to protect Mo Wen, they didn't know how many beatings they had been beaten by those crazy women just now, and one of them had their faces scratched.

Heuman, who received endorsements from several fashion brands, couldn't help Mo Wen check his body while crying and laughing in the car.

"I'm sorry, it was my negligence, I didn't expect that two bodyguards were not enough, you should go out less during this time, and I will find two more bodyguards later, or find a female bodyguard."

······

The Pacers played against the Bulls G5, and Atay's comeback did not make the Pacers' strength immediately improve significantly, after all, he was banned for most of the season, and the effect of the team's training games was limited, so he could only find his form on the court.

The Bulls, who had won just one of the first four games of the series, took a 17-point lead at halftime.

But as Atay regained his game feel, the Pacers' defense got better and better.

In the final 1 minute, the Pacers recovered the score.

But the game didn't end there, and after Miller "unintentionally" put it underwater, Ben Gordon got the crucial space to complete the quasi-lore.

Ben Gordon hit the shot, but Carlisle was delighted.

He wasn't careless, he did it on purpose.

If it weren't for the fear of going wrong, he would even give it to the Bulls in the next game, just to let Atay find his form.

They had a chance to win outright tonight, but the consequence was that Artai faced the Heat in the second round directly after not playing a few games.

Looking for the state in the showdown with the Heat, that's too unscored.

However, while Carlisle was waiting for the timer to end, Atay pounced on a hungry tiger, snatched the basketball from Hinrich, and when everyone was out of energy, he ran a long distance to complete the stunner before the final countdown was zero.

"I don't know what the trident, the big three, I just know that no one can stop us from winning to the end. This time, I won't disappoint again! ”

I got my feeling back, but the writing was slow, no way, forgive me, brothers
