Chapter 476: President's Heir (

On the morning of February 3, the NBA officially held a press conference to announce the final punishment results for Min Congda's popcorn throwing referee incident.

At the press conference, Adam Silva condemned Min Congda's wanton violence, saying that such spectators are not welcome in the NBA.

However, due to the fact that Min Congda has been fined $1.5 million in history, and "Smart has made outstanding contributions to labor negotiations", the league decided to largely maintain the previous penalty, increasing the number of games banned from watching games from 20 to 30, and continue to receive psychological treatment, and obtain the diagnosis and approval of a psychiatrist before returning to the game.

As for the referee association, firstly, they felt the tough pressure from the league, and secondly, Bozia gave an ultimatum, and the referee leaders led by Javi knew that it would be no good to continue to make trouble, so they stopped fighting and no longer threatened the league with the strike as a bargaining chip.

Of course, the uproar of Jarvi and others was not fruitless, and the league soon promised to set up a special game video replay center to give these retired referees a chance to play their spare heat and re-employment.

Jarvi and others naturally didn't make trouble when they got this promise, and with the replay center, the referees had another place to eat.

Adam Silva fully demonstrated his political skill in this incident and further established his authority as president.

For him, Min Congda, an "unstable element", is an excellent partner.

His destructiveness has led to him, the president of the league, always coming forward to settle the matter.

A newly appointed president like him is sometimes not afraid of accidents, but afraid of nothing.

Because if nothing happens, he will not be able to show his ability as president, and he will not be able to enhance his prestige through a series of operations.

If everything in the alliance is safe and stable, and it continues to run quietly, it means that he is useless as the president, and everyone will follow the rules and follow the path set by Stern.

But Silva's ambitions clearly don't stop there, and he is nearly 50 years old and has not yet started a family, and he is dedicated to his work in order to create a career of his own.

This time the referee association is obviously of great significance for him to show his skills in the future.

The relationship between Silva and Min Congda has become even closer.

At noon that day, after the press conference, Silva called Min Congda to express his condolences.

"I'm really sorry Smart, you have to continue this big ticket, otherwise the punishment is not heavy enough to convince the public." Silva offered some apologies on the phone.

"No, no, no! It's okay, it's okay! It's only 1.5 million, and if it's 500,000 more, I can bear it! You don't have to worry about money. Min Congda sat in his office at the Staples Center, with his legs crossed on his desk, eating a KFC burger.

Obviously, the $1.5 million fine not only did not bother Min Congda, but it was also his biggest income since coming to the United States!

Not to mention 500,000 more, 5 million more, he doesn't care, he has the ability to fine me 500 million!

Of course, it is estimated that the tax bureau will come to check Min Congda's assets after a fine of 500 million.

In the past two days, Min Congda's life has not been too easy, which is equivalent to taking a bonus of 1.5 million and then starting to take a vacation.

25 games are barred from attendance, and just as tomorrow begins, the Clippers will embark on a six-game road trip from Washington to Dallas.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, the Clippers played two back-to-back games, first with a comfortable 107-100 win over the Utah Jazz on the road.

Then after returning to the home court, they were defeated by the Denver Nuggets 112-110, a two-point gap, ending their short four-game winning streak.

Min Congda, who received a $2,000 loss salary, has completely ignored this money.

I didn't go to the training center for lunch today, so I asked Ida to drive to a KFC and bring him fried chicken, fries and burgers.

In fact, in the United States, there are the most McDonald's and very few KFC, but Min Congda wants to eat KFC, so treat yourself!

"I know you've always been very generous Smart, but by the way, Smart recently had a charity dinner in New York, would you like to come and attend it when you have time? Many celebrities in New York will participate, so you can come and get to know them. ”

Silva sent an invitation to Min Congda's banquet, which is often rich and star-studded, and is a place for big names from all walks of life to get acquainted with each other, exchange feelings, and collude interests, which can be said to be the ticket to high society.

Don't look at the NBA president as just the CEO of a sports league, but the total amount of the sports industry in the United States is nearly $500 billion, accounting for about 3% of the GDP of the United States.

By comparison, the total value of the U.S. film industry is about $50 billion, only one-tenth of that of the sports industry.

So in the United States, many of those Hollywood movie stars are not as famous and worth as sports stars.

It's just that many film and television stars are more well-known than sports stars in the world.

A world-renowned basketball president like David Stern has connections in American politics and a proper ruling class.

In the words of Jenny Bass, "David Stern is talented enough to rule a small country." ”

As his successor, Silva is going to elevate his status even further and make the NBA a higher presence in the big four leagues.

Min Congda was drinking Coke when he heard Silva's invitation and almost spewed out.

I'm RNM! I helped you, and you want to trick me again!

Last time, Lao Tzu was taken to a charity dinner, donated $50,000, and finally won a Broken Citizen Award, and there was nothing!

Now let me do charity again, why don't you come to charity me, I just got fined 1.5 million, shouldn't you help me!

"Ahem! Ahem! Adam, I won't attend dinner or anything, it's really troublesome to go to New York. And I'm going to go to counseling from tomorrow, so I'll save it for next time, next time! ”

Min Tacta politely declined Adam Silva's offer.

Silva didn't let him go, and if he didn't say no, you could come to a charity dinner in Los Angeles next time.

Min Congda thought to himself, damn it, you can't get along with the charity banquet? Do you have to donate some money? Is it easy for me to make some money?

These hypocritical Jews are obviously using various charitable funds to evade the IRS and set up a financial firewall for their families, so as to do something good along the way.

To put it mildly, for the time being, the party to donate money will be postponed, Min Congda breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Adam Silva thought to himself: "Smart is a man who does not seek wealth or fame, so what is he for?" Is it ......?"

Silva had previously analyzed with Stern what Min Congda wanted, and Silva thought that what he wanted was fame.

So a fundraiser was arranged for him, a chance to show his face, and a citizenship award was given to him, but the guy didn't get a cold.

Since that fundraiser, Min Congda has not participated in a similar event, and is not interested in those high-class hookups.

"Could it be that he, like me, has his own ideals and needs enough power?"

Silva began to think that he was not worried that Min Congda would challenge him as president of the league.

On the contrary, he felt that with Min Congda's age and ability to do things, he really had a place for the future president candidate.

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