Chapter 445: The Slowest Free Throw in History and the Hero Who Saved the NBA

The Lakers defended for three seconds, and the Celtics made free throws.

And at this point, the ball was in James' hands.

At this time, the eyes of the whole world seemed to be focused on James.

Did Garnett really defend for three seconds?

This doesn't really make any sense, because even if you are not so professional, fans who have not watched many Finals know that in NBA games, it is not so easy to defend three seconds.

In a game like this, at a moment like this, there is a whistle like this, which is very revealing.

That's what the referee on duty, Foster, is doing to break the 90-90 tie.

There are no penalty shootouts in basketball.

As long as the basketball game is tied, then the game can go on forever.

Therefore, in the face of a whistle like Foster, as long as the teams on both sides have a tacit understanding and the score is tied, they can resist softly!

This is actually not only the soft resistance Foster, but also the people behind the soft resistance Foster.

Everyone knows who is behind Foster, and in the face of the soft resistance of the two teams in the finals, even David Stern will become extremely pressured, let alone Adam Shaw.

What happened to the Lakers and Celtics in the past three minutes not only made Foster angry and frightened, but also made Adam Shaw in the audience on the sidelines break out in a cold sweat.

As the actual manager of the current NBA, the performance of both sides in the finals is a slap in his face and the ultimate pressure on the NBA.

If he's the real boss of the NBA, he's not afraid of such pressure.

In other words, if he is the real boss, the Lakers and Celtics players also know that their tacit resistance is useless.

The Lakers and Celtics players are resisting like this on the court to tell the real boss of the NBA, David Stern, that it's time for you to intervene!

The players of these two teams are creating opportunities for David Stern, the guardian of the NBA, in this way, to create opportunities to catch a certain group!

The NBA is a business league, it is a league of interests, Adam Shaw can bring benefits to everyone, he can get support, so many sponsorship contracts, such a big broadcast contract, so that all owners can support Adam Shaw.

This was true in previous years.

Adam Shaw, who has the support of most of the owners, can be said to have directly put David Stern in the NBA.

David Stern had been looking for a chance to depose Adam Shaw, but there was no chance.

The finals of the year before last and the finals of last year didn't have any chances.

In this year's finals, David Stern has no chance, and Adam Shaw is even smarter.

It's just that no one thought that this season's Celtics would become the biggest variable.

No, the real biggest variable is Celtic's head coach Fantastic Monty!

"Who would have thought that Amazing Monty was a god like Coach D!!"

"Only the team of Magical Monty and Coach D in this world can do such a thing!"

"Now, LeBron, it's time for you to tell the world that you really say goodbye to the past!"

"Three no-dips, please use the three no-dips to tell those people that you belong to the Justice League now!"

"The Hukai battle is so great, the yellow-green battle is so exciting, we don't need anyone to tell us how to play the game, before the decisive battle, please clean up all the people, factors, and factors that affect this game!"

The commentary on the scene, the Lakers DJ on the spot, as long as the people who can make a sound on the scene, are shouting frantically at this time.

Listening to such noise, listening to such crazy sounds, Foster on the court, Adam Xiaohua on the sidelines, and those capital representatives on the sidelines are sitting on pins and needles at this time.

The longer the game's fourth-quarter anomaly continues, the more pressure will be on them.

In order to continue the game, then those owners of the NBA, even if they support Adam Xiaohua again, have no choice but to authorize David Stern to come back and take over the game.

Because Adam Shaw has made it impossible for this game to continue.

Unless these NBA owners want the NBA to dissolve outright.

Otherwise, they can only support David Stern.

Most of these bosses don't like David Stern.

David Stern is too strong, blocking their way too much money, David Stern is on stage, they have too much money to earn.

If nothing else, just say that spinach will be kept out of the NBA forever, which will cost the NBA close to $200 million.

Don't think it's a lot, because this is the third year of Adam Shaw's reign, and according to the predictions and calculations of many experts, Spinach can bring billions of dollars directly or indirectly to the NBA in the future.

With such a big gain, David Stern has been holding back before, you are the owner of the NBA, can you stand it?

Among the Aramco laws is a well-known bill, the PASPA Act (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act), which prohibits the legalization of sports betting, which was introduced by Bill Bradley and passed in 1992.

Since then, Stern has led the NBA and the other three major sports leagues in the United States to enforce resolutely, without any space.

David Stern believed that DB would affect the health of the sports industry, and at that time, from professional sports leagues to fans and even players, even players like Jordan who loved DB, believed that sports betting would do more harm than good.

Until Adam Shaw came to power, he had a very different attitude towards the legalization of sports betting.

The other three major sports leagues are still firmly banning spinach.

But Adam Shaw has begun to secretly cooperate, and the law prohibits it?

Oh, it's not okay for me to lobby the Supreme People's Court to declare the spinach ban unconstitutional.

What a simple thing.

As long as a professional sports league comes forward and says that this kind of ban hinders its own commercial interests and competes with the people for profit, it is basically a lawsuit.

Under the impetus of Spinach, the four major professional leagues, the NBA were the first to open their arms and express their willingness to be promoters.

Then, just last year, the Aramco Supreme Court declared the spinach ban unconstitutional.

Then, the spinach company quickly reciprocated, and just a spinach company from MGM Resorts International signed a three-year, $30 million sponsorship contract with the NBA, which earned the NBA $200 million in the first year of last year alone.

It could rise to billions of dollars a year in the next decade or so.

If you don't sponsor you, you don't give money, you are not allowed to open NBA handicaps, this is called intellectual property fees, but not any buying fees.

Adam Shaw helped legalize spinach in the NBA, hoping to work with spinach to take a 1% cut of all bets. If the scale of 400 billion US dollars mentioned by Xiao Hua, then 1% is 4 billion US dollars.

And that's just the commission, not including the protection fee and entrance fee.

What a benefit.

If you are the owner of the NBA, do you support Xiao Hua, who earns you billions or even tens of billions more every year, or David Stern, who is so poor that although he has capital but still has a bottom line?

Obvious things.

It can only be said that Adam Xiaohua is indeed very powerful, although the fans don't like it very much, but he is indeed very able to help the bosses make money, and he is not so strong, and he is a more professional manager than David Stern.

Adam Xiaohua knows very well that he is the steward of the bosses and makes money for everyone, not to manage the bosses and restrain the bosses.

And David Stern, he always wants to suffer for his ideals.

It's been a lot of hard work.

Now, not many people are willing to suffer any more for the sake of David Stern's ideals.

Your David Stern's ideals are not our ideals.

Our ideal is to make money.

At the very least, most NBA team owners don't have any ideals, and they own teams just to make money.

Of course.

No one wants to say that their league plays match-fixing, and Adam Shaw also said that the NBA will definitely not play match-fixing and firmly opposes match-fixing.

Bosses certainly don't say they're betraying themselves.

But do you believe it?

Spinach Capital has come in, can it honestly just pay the 'intellectual property fee' just to open the market?

You've got all the TM's draws, and you can still stay neutral?

You're all TM behind the scenes!

So, resolutely resist match-fixing?

Fools don't believe it.

It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, fans can't decide the future of the NBA, journalists, celebrities, experts, even players and coaches can't decide the future of the NBA.

Most people who can decide the future of the NBA can believe it.

Therefore, in the past two years, Adam Shaw has made the NBA Finals so angry, and in the end, David Stern still has no way to deal with him, which is the reason.

Most of the current owners of the NBA do not welcome David Stern, and they are now supporting Adam Shaw, a more professional manager who does not have his own dreams and does not need self-realization.

Therefore, in the past two years, Adam Xiaohua was so messy in the finals, and in the end, David Stern could only send in a few referees, and there was no way to move Adam Xiaohua at all.

Because, in the past two years, although the finals have been unfair, they have ended smoothly, everyone has still made a lot of money, and the NBA is still running.

But now, it's completely different.

The NBA is going to run no further!

At this time, it is not so easy to make the decision to continue to support Adam Xiaohua!

For Adam Shaw, for all the owners of the NBA, whether the NBA can continue or not, this is the most important thing.

If the NBA can't continue, then nothing makes sense.

Not only do they not make money, but they also have to pay a lot of liquidated damages according to the contract, and they may even go bankrupt.

This is definitely no joke.

Therefore, the past three minutes are definitely the three minutes that make many people anxious like ants on a hot pan.

At this time, these ants on the hot pot looked at James standing at the free throw line, and almost stared out their eyes.

The fans at the scene were clamoring frantically, don't get in.

But, James knew that he had to go in!

Does he have to hit this shot?

Of course he wants to hit if he can.

Even if he loses all his dignity and is ridiculed by the whole world in the future, he will be completely hacked, he will shoot this free throw.

Because, what he represents is capital!

However, he is also smart and knows that if he is not successful, it actually has no meaning.

Because......

He wasn't the one who really controlled the game.

It's the magic Monty and Coach D......

As long as he hits, he will be immediately torn off the disguise of reform, and will be quickly replaced by the magic Monty.

And then, he had nothing!

Those people will still be liquidated!

Yes, at this time, Foster, Adam Shaw, is already dead!

At this point, these people are hopeless!

Coach D and Fantastic Monty completely controlled the game, and the two of them have reached a tacit understanding!

Because of the influence of two people, the two feuding teams, and all the players of the two teams, they have reached such a tacit understanding!

So, no matter what he does, it doesn't make sense.

He can't bury these people!

The capital he represents is not spinach capital.

The capital he represents is only one of Adam Shaw's partners.

Without Adam Xiaohua, he and the capital behind him can still accomplish their goals!

It's just that without the help of Adam Shaw!

Even without Adam Shaw's help, they now have the magic Monty, and they still have a great chance!

James, whose mentality had been pushed to the point of explosion by pressure, felt that he was relaxed in vain at this time.

James, who was standing at the free-throw line, smiled.

At this time, the fans at the scene were already frantically urging referee Foster to award James a free throw violation.

"James' free throw time has been over 20 seconds!!"

"Foster, can you count 3 seconds, why can't you count 20 seconds, are you an elementary school student?"

"Hahahaha, Foster, don't keep your eyes open, LeBron James won't take this penalty, he definitely can't take this penalty!!"

……

The fans at the scene were frantically mocking, which was much more lethal than shouting a black whistle.

Shouting the black whistle really doesn't scare Foster.

But the things they are shouting now can really scare Foster into fear.

"LeBron – James !!"

With his eyes wide open, the furious Foster yelled at James!

James didn't stand still anymore, James, free throws!

Smiling James, he threw the basketball in his hand so lightly that the basketball did not throw it to the basket.

Instead, it was thrown directly at Foster on the other side of the baseline.

The basketball crossed a not-so-beautiful arc and slammed into Foster's head.

What?!

Foster was dumbfounded.

And the audience at the scene was dumbfounded for a moment.

Then, a moment later, the whole of Staples was all laughing!

And then!

A moment after the continuation!

The whole Staples rang out cheers for James!!

"King James!"

"King James!!"

"King James !!"

……

Listening to the cheers of Lakers fans and Celtics fans on James, in front of the TV and in the stands on the sidelines, the capital behind James was all relieved, James did not faint!

Then he was smashed and Foster was stunned.

And Adam Xiao Hua in the stands was stunned at this time.

Yes, he was abandoned by James.

Yes, he was abandoned by the regular NBA capital behind James and cut his seat.

Spinach is what Adam Shaw and the NBA owners want, not what Hook and James want.

I know you're dead now.

I also followed you to the funeral.

Do you really think you have that much charm?

At this point, the entire arena was boiling.

The expressions of Adam Shaw and Foster appeared on the big screen and television set almost simultaneously.

Then, the camera of the scene was aimed at two great people, Du Kang and Amazing Monty.

"We just witnessed the longest free throw in NBA history!"

"We just got to see the greatest free throw in the NBA!"

"And now, we're looking at two of the greatest heroes in NBA history, who saved the NBA !!"

This is O'Neal, crazy O'Neal!

Du Kang and Magical Monty, who were in the spotlight of the whole world, turned their heads to look at each other almost at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled after being stunned.

This smile makes the entire NBA world seem to be in full bloom!

Old Nelson in front of the TV even stood up excitedly, eager to hug the TV, to hug Monty Williams, his disciple, and Du Kang, his favorite back.

"Great Heroes, Heroes Who Saved the NBA!!"

Staples.

Looking at the magical Monty not far ahead, the smile on Du Kang's face was heartfelt.

Now, he finally has a helper.

Now, he is finally no longer a retrograde person.

Now, finally, someone can move forward hand in hand with him!

Now, someone can finally hold the holy sword in his hand with him and stab into the darkness of the NBA!

"Thank you, Marvel Monty, my greatest opponent."

Ducon withdrew his gaze from Monty Williams.

At this time, the whole scene was already cheering Du Kang and Magical Monty.

And in the stands.

David Stern smiled at the bald head beside him, who had completely lost his lustre.

"Adam, maybe now we need to have an NBA ad hoc meeting and decide some decisions that are very important to the NBA."

Adam Shaw finally came to his senses.

Then, there was a bitter expression on his face.

Looking at the smile on David Stern's face at this time, the bitterness on Adam Xiaohua's face turned into a bitter smile of despair.

He knew that he had lost, completely lost.

In the end, he still couldn't beat the man who single-handedly lifted him up in the NBA.

In the end, he still lost, and he lost so completely.

Now, with Coach D and Fantastic Monty, as well as the support of the Lakers and Celtics, and with the support of all fans, public opinion, players, celebrities, and reporters, David Stern is invincible.

No one could stop David Stern from returning again.

Not even those worm-like bosses.

Now, the NBA is about to enter the era of David Stern once again.

In the end, Adam Xiaohua didn't say anything cruel, just looked at Foster, who was still crazy on the court, and then nodded.

"Okay, boss, I got it."

Adam Shaw smiled and chose the last decency.

Then close your eyes and sigh mentally.

Rick, I'm sorry, we, still failed......

Rick Foster, on the court, was still performing like a clown.

In the midst of laughter, Foster was performing and collapsing......

The sky of Los Angeles seems to be lit up by stars at this time.
