Chapter 161: I Can't Guarantee (Fourth Update)

At the end of the game, the buzzer sounded, Ricky Davis raised his arms and shouted.

The Clippers players rushed up and hugged Ricky Davis and hugged him in the center.

The crowd chanted Ricky Davis' name and cheered him for his final kill.

How long has it been since he has been treated like this? Be the hero of a game.

He was once ridiculed for being arrogant and conceited, but who is not a conceited bastard who is truly successful on the court.

The difference is only that some people have the ability to be conceited, while Davis lacks that ability and self-discipline.

Plus it's LeBron James who compares to him, which makes him look like a clown.

But there's nothing wrong with dreaming of becoming a hero.

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms "The Biography of the First Lord" recorded: "When the first lord was young, he played under the tree with all the children in the sect, and said: I must take this feather to cover the car."

Uncle and father respectfully said: Don't lie and destroy my door! ”

Although Davis was not traded in the middle of the road, he also tasted the taste of riding this feather cover car in this ordinary regular season.

In this game, Ricky Davis scored 14 points, all of which were very crucial scores.

In the stands, Siakam Jr., like the fans around him, was overjoyed by Davis' stunner.

I can't hear anything anymore, it's just the screams of the fans, and it's a great and crazy atmosphere.

Originally, he still supported James in his heart, but because of Curry's David-like performance, he rebelled, and learned to defect at a young age.

He said to his father, "Dad, I want a Curry jersey later!" ”

Chamo Siakam nodded and asked the Clippers who were following him, Riccelle: "The kid wants a Curry jersey, is that okay?" ”

Riccelle nodded and said loudly, "Of course!" What did you guys think of this game? ”

"Perfect, perfect, it's a perfect game, a perfect day. I am forever grateful to all of you, and your Clippers will be a great team. ”

After saying that, Chamo Siakam opened his arms and hugged Riccelle warmly, and little Siakam also came over and hugged the fat man.

This touching scene, of course, was filmed by Jordan Peele's film crew, and they are going to edit a special episode of "Special Fans", which will be released on YouTube when the time comes, which is another good subject.

The only regret is that Mr. Smart is not in the camera.

In fact, it also appeared, just now he smashed the referee with popcorn but filmed it without missing a frame.

Jordan Peel thought to himself: "When it comes to making topics to stir up the heat, Mr. Smart is still good at it." We worked hard to make creative films, and in the end, some fans had fun. Mr. Smart doesn't make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, it makes headlines on the front page, which is really a big gap. ”

The people's reverence for Min Congda is like a surging river, and his prestige has increased again.

And Min Congda just wanted to make some money.

It's really difficult to bankrupt the Clippers in a decent way.

Then I had to use an unseemly method to let the alliance fine and make some extra money for Min Congda.

Min Congda did not leave the arena, but returned to his general manager's office and waited for the league office to call him.

He knew that if there was such a bad thing attacking the referee, the league would definitely be held accountable.

It was Vice President Bozia who called Min Congda before, and this time the situation may be more serious.

After a while, Stern's call went straight to Min Congda's phone.

As soon as he saw that it was Stern's call, Min knew that the trouble might be a bit big.

"The bigger the trouble, the higher the profit...... Hello, I'm Smart Min, Clippers general manager, what's the matter with me? ”

Min Congda answered the phone and introduced himself to Stern, he was not afraid of the alliance's punishment at all.

Stern's voice on the other side was very serious, and he said, "Smart, you are in trouble again today." ”

Min Congda: "It's Foster's business ability that is too poor, and he doesn't brag about his steps at critical moments!" ”

Stern: "Foster has 15 years of law enforcement experience and shouldn't be questioned casually. And if you really have an opinion, you can protest after the game, instead of insulting the referee or even using your hands on the field, which is very serious behavior. ”

Min Congda thought to himself, the game was over, and it was useless to protest after the game.

Min Congda: "LeBron has been in the playoffs, and the league is here to praise him!" The referee doesn't even want basic impartiality, how can he let the fans enjoy the game? Fans love stars, but they don't want to see stars cheat and win games, right? ”

When James beat the Wizards away from home in the playoffs, that goal was very controversial, because it was an obvious step but the referee didn't blow it.

The league's attitude of wanting to create stars is too obvious, including last year's Eastern Conference Finals, which was bent on letting the Cavaliers enter the Finals, but unfortunately they really couldn't beat it.

Min Congda's words poked at Stern's pain point, how to maintain a balance between star-making and fairness has always been a difficult point for the alliance.

Without star-making, the NBA as a commercial league would not have high influence and high income, and the cultural atmosphere of individual heroism in the United States, without superstars, many fans are impatient to watch more than 1,000 games a year.

Needless to say, if you don't have fairness, sports competition will lose its foundation if you lose fairness, even if you pretend to be very fair.

And the whistle issue has always been a place where the two tend to conflict, so Stern called Min Congda as soon as something happened.

He just wanted to remind Min Congda not to make a big deal out of it, which caused public opinion to criticize and crusade against the NBA referee issue.

This will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the NBA, which is slowly emerging from the impact of the financial crisis and does not want to be dragged into the referee problem again.

Stern was already overwhelmed by the Tim Donnessee affair in 2007, which was just released from prison last year and clamored to write an autobiography and expose the NBA.

The pressure on the NBA is very high, and Stern doesn't want any more internal problems.

Stern slowed down his tone, he didn't want to argue with Min Congdado, and directly negotiated the conditions, saying: "Smart, your behavior is absolutely not allowed, we have decided to give you a $100,000 fine, apologize to Foster, and then ban you from watching the game live, a total of 10 games." ”

Min Congda heard it, 100,000 US dollars, I rely on it, I got rich, this is a good thing to throw popcorn to the referee.

Stern went on to say: "However, if you can promise not to raise the issue of referee decisions again, I can reduce the amount of the ticket to $50,000 or less......"

"Nope! I can't guarantee it! You can fine me for $100,000, I don't have a problem! ”

"No, Smart......"

"That's it! I'll apologize to Foster, don't worry, I'll pay the money soon. ”
