Chapter 390: Christopher, I Want to Eat Pizza (Part 2)

Nov. 26 was supposed to be the day for negotiations between NBA management and labor.

Because of the chaos of public opinion caused by the "Stern manipulation of the game" incident, the already fragile, hostile and tense labor and management have once again fallen into a state of mutual distrust.

Negotiations between the two sides have been put on hold again and postponed indefinitely, and the NBA shutdown will continue with no resumption schedule.

The NBA's legal department filed a lawsuit in federal court against the owners of Twitter and NBA-Batman accounts for "defamation."

Twitter, as a third-party public opinion platform, will naturally give the true information of the account holder in the event of a lawsuit.

However, a week has passed, and Twitter has not given the identity of the owner of the NBA-Batman account.

The NBA's legal department kept urging, but the reply was: "The identity of this account has been falsified multiple times, and we can't give him real information." ”

The NBA simply doesn't believe that someone on a platform as big as Twitter can hide their identity? Can't find a real person?

However, Twitter just couldn't find it, and the technical department repeatedly confirmed that the information of the account holder was fake.

And it changes almost every day, the IP address is sometimes China, sometimes Nigeria, and sometimes the Antarctic research station.

The identity information is constantly changing, sometimes Indian, sometimes German, sometimes Dominican......

It's completely unbelievable, Twitter has a very strong tech department, and it's a very easy technical task to lock down the owner of the account.

But it can't be done, and the account owner can't be found, so the NBA can't file a lawsuit at all.

Now the NBA office is stupid, David Stern is stupid, you can't find out who is behind the scenes.

Before Donassi posted his autobiography, the best way to deal with it was not to refute it, and then pour dirty water on Donasi.

Donassie himself is not clean in any case, so people's attention will be shifted to "whether Donassie is credible" rather than caring whether what he says is true or not.

Once he responds, he will sit back on Donathy's remarks, and even say a lot of mistakes, and he will have nothing to say something.

The NBA wanted to use the same trick against this NBA-Batman, but as a result, the other party was really the hidden Batman.

I don't know who this thing is, I can't use the trick of splashing dirty water now, can I respond positively and prove my innocence?

Innocence cannot be proven, and it is useless for Stern to dissect his stomach and let people see how many bowls of noodles there are.

So the only thing that can be done is to be silent, that is, not to respond, so that people gradually stop paying attention to this matter.

But what about the shutdown? With such a big matter, it is impossible for Stern to sit idly by and disappear into the circle of public opinion to avoid the limelight.

At this time, Tim Donassee jumped out again, claiming that the revelations on NBA-Batman were all released by him.

Originally, after 09 years, everyone was no longer interested in his so-called "shady", he earned popularity, and everyone watched it lively.

Now, he has been pushed back into the forefront of public opinion, and he knows that he will not be able to be a referee in the future, and the biggest source of income is the NBA's.

Then he will not seize the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, so as to profit from it and grab greater benefits.

This situation is really worse for the NBA.

The league is in an unprecedented crisis, and the shutdown is really far away, and maybe the entire season will be canceled.

Min Congda, who was originally in New York for a meeting, returned to Los Angeles and tweeted while following the progress of the negotiations while fishing at sea.

Seeing that the labor negotiations fell into crisis again, and public opinion began to release a lot of pessimistic signals, Min Congda felt very proud.

As soon as he made a slight move, he turned public opinion upside down, making both labor and management unstable.

This can be regarded as a disadvantage of freedom of opinion, and any small fluctuation will affect the overall balance and stability.

If you put this in China, will you need to fight a lawsuit and find the owner of the account?

Directly select a comment, restrict forwarding, and nothing is left.

Min Congda has been in the United States for two years, and has experienced the previous incident of "violence turning into racial discrimination", and gradually understood the public opinion environment in the United States.

Coupled with the raising of NBA-Batman, a powerful mole, it really stirred up the storm at a critical moment.

This is the first time that Min Congda has a great sense of accomplishment since he carried out his mission.

He rewarded himself with three days of fishing in the Pacific Ocean, eating and living on a boat.

Today is the third day, and when he catches a rare large grouper, he suddenly feels quite bored.

It's not fun to fish all the time, and even if you catch such a big fish, you don't seem to have much sense of accomplishment.

"It's too simple, it's too boring... Not as good as basketball... Damn, what do you want basketball? Nerve! If you stay up for a while, the NBA will go bankrupt and go out of business, and then the Clippers will be unlucky together! ”

Although he thought so in his heart, Min Congda didn't want to fish anymore.

I went ashore and returned to my apartment, where I had dinner, watched a movie, slept with Daddario, and went shopping at the mall.

In the afternoon, I drove to the Hollywood movie crew to visit and shoot, and there were many, many interesting things to do.

But since July, I've done all these things once, and it's not so interesting to experience it again.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Min Congda found that he missed the NBA a little and the process of wreaking havoc on the Clippers.

I miss the tension and excitement of eating popcorn on the sidelines and looking forward to the Clippers' loss.

It's really exciting, and I've had heart attacks several times.

Life seems to be a little too dull now.

It was almost December, and the collective bargaining was at a complete impasse.

The weather is getting colder, and Min Congda, who has nothing to do at home, feels bored when he looks at the labor negotiations that have turned into soap operas.

It's either talk or go bankrupt, so why bother so much? Grinding and chirping.

At this time, Min Congda suddenly wanted to eat pizza.

Because there has been no competition, Min Congda has not been to the Staples Center for dinner for a long time.

Without NBA games, the flow of the Staples Center has also dropped significantly, and its income has been greatly affected.

Min Congda called the Red Head Boots restaurant and said, "Christopher, I want to eat pizza." ”

Half an hour later, Christopher personally delivered the pizza to Min Congda's home, along with a bottle of beer.

Min Congda asked Christopher with concern: "After the shutdown, has the business been affected?" ”

Christopher said: "It must have been affected, how many games and passenger flow have been reduced." ”

"NBA games may be cancelled, but as long as you're in the Staples Center, business can always go on."

"If the NBA game is canceled completely, what are your plans for Mr. Smart?"

"Plans? I... Why don't I go to your shop and wash your dishes? Min Congda joked.

Christopher laughed and said, "It's all to blame on that damn Donathy, who was supposed to negotiate successfully, and he jumped out and intervened and made things messy again." ”

Min Congda thought to himself, in fact, the person who really intervened was me, Donasi belonged to borrowing the donkey from the slope to seek personal gain for himself.

"Things will get better, even if your store is not in the Stamp Center, it will still be doing well, and it will get bigger and bigger."

Christopher nodded, but a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and after delivering the pizza, he said goodbye to Min Congda and left on his motorcycle.

Min Congda didn't care, eating Linda's secret pizza, the taste was still so positive, he was really blindsided.

I didn't expect Christopher, an old guy like a gangster, to really be able to do things, and people can't be deceitful.

Five days later, on December 8, a piece of news pushed the NBA's labor negotiations to the climax of public opinion.

Former NBA referee Tim Donassee was shot dead in his hometown of Pennsylvania and his body was found on a barren mountain.

Some people died, but not completely......
