NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 685 The Emperor of Extrajudicial Enforcers

In the second game of the shortened season, the Lakers still won.

It's just that the meaning of this game is a little different. After all, the NBA headquarters is in New York, and the Madison Garden Arena on the front foot has just finished... The league headquarters on the back foot immediately received the game status information.

The Lakers are playing the Knicks again?

Li Shengli engaged in terrorist attacks again?

Stern was going crazy, his brain was spinning at high speed, trying to settle all these things.

Going forward, the league has just experienced the largest suspension in history, and now the game has just started. It is time to restore blood and orderly restore the order of the game, and maintaining stability is the official top priority. As for the violent conflicts in the game...

Throughout the major sports leagues in the United States, competition is always the main theme. This is true. However, friction and disputes between players mean that there are topics that can be heated up, and it has a lot to do with the enjoyment and attention of the game. Elevated, but the bottom line is... friction cannot escalate into violence!

……

Look at this fight...

Although there was no multiplayer team fight, Stern could see clearly that this thing was more terrifying than a multiplayer team fight. Basically, Li Shengli led the Lakers' fighting team to stare at a person and kill and maim him.

Although it is aimed at the recently notorious madman Sprewell who almost strangled his coach to death.

Although Sprewell did have dirty tricks in the game, which touched the bottom line of the rules.

But the problem is that since the development of the alliance, it has been an organization with continuous improvement of rules, and outside the rules... Stern finally realized that Li Shengli had organized a group of extrajudicial enforcers, which to a certain extent replaced the operation of the rules of the alliance and punishment.

Speaking of punishment...

Sprewell has to deal with the insanity of the game; the Lakers' extrajudicial enforcers have to deal with it, because breaking the rules is officially not allowed.

But how to deal with it?

Stern's head is about to explode!

If it were any other team, it would definitely be to hold down all the perpetrators with a pair of iron fists, and the decision of punishment and ban will be made soon, but it is not possible now.

……

"Is there any news from the Knicks? What did James Dolan say?"

"Sprewell suffered a torn ankle ligament and fractured thoracic twelve vertebrae. Although Li and the others gave him a sigh of relief, basically he will be reimbursed for this season, and next season will depend on his personal recovery. As for how much Lan... has a lot of opinions, after all, this is not the first time Li led someone to beat the Knicks, you know, I mean a different meaning!"

The assistant reported the situation, and Stern had even more headaches.

Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, has an opinion, and this is the first question.

Although New York has a lot of money and this place is also very profitable, but to put it bluntly...losing games every day and being beaten every game, ghosts are willing to watch this game, so it is understandable that Dolan has big opinions.

"Is there a big opinion?"

"Very big!"

"Put it down, I will talk to him when I find time, but let him put away all the media resources in his hands now, Li...don't touch him!" Stern frowned, and the Los Angeles Lakers and Li Shengli were the second. problem.

James Dolan, a fool with a lot of money is easy to fool, the Knicks, a big money-absorbing ship, will not capsize for a while.

But the other side is different. The Knicks are only one of the 29 teams in the league, but the market behind Li Shengli is related to the future value-added of all teams in the league, let alone the recent market development. Can't the league engage in condemnation and let domestic fans buy it?

Li Shengli is the key node of everything.

Stern cried, pulled out a roll of paper, and had to wipe Li Shengli's ass once!

So to sum it up...

During the Sprewell match, there were several dangerous actions that caused injuries. Even if there was no whistleblowing during the match, they had to be added after the match. The other one was Rodman. No heavy punishment.

As for Li Shengli.

He plunged headlong into the loopholes in the league's rules and became a BUG player that the league couldn't fix. He couldn't find any valid evidence to confirm that he had the intention of subjectively hurting others, and according to the principle that what is prohibited by the law can be done... still can't be punished To Li Shengli.

But this is not important.

What Stern wants to wipe Li Shengli's ass is not whether to punish or not to punish.

Now he is trying his best to block all possible and heavy media attacks. After all, for the market behind Li Shengli...foreign media reports really affect this emerging market and emerging fans' first perception of the league. The starting point for all his actions in dealing with this incident.

"Press Dolan, Li, he can't touch it."

"Also tell Bass that he will deal with this matter first, and our officials will cooperate with him."

"In addition... this may also be a good thing. Release some news first, which is what we discussed before. First, appease both sides, and we will talk about it after this season."

……

In the new season, it's only the third day since the start of the competition, and the commotion started!

Fortunately, Stern was decisive and steady at the helm, and he directly determined the direction of handling. On the other hand... the post-game press conference between the Lakers and the Knicks also started. Amid the uproar from all the media and fans, The Lakers didn't shy away from it, and all the fighting groups attended, and the press conference immediately boiled.

joke? !

Li Shengli is not as diligent in attending the press conference as he is in the game. This opportunity is rare.

Although the team will have requests, Li Shengli, as the absolute core, also has the right to refuse, and this time leading the team to attend... the reporter is not calm at first, the venue is a mess, if the press officer did not maintain order, these reporters would It can put the microphone into the mouths of a group of villains and listen to the voices of the villains.

What makes Li Shengli strange is...

Unlike before, this press conference even assigned him a young man, a fat man, as a Chinese-English bilingual interpreter.

It's not common, is it?

Li Shengli thinks carefully...

For an interview with the American media, why do you need a Chinese translation, and it’s not like you can’t speak English?

If there are domestic media interviews, the audience must be domestic fans, then just speak Mandarin and it’s over, why bother to take off your pants and fart, but in fact... Li Shengli wanted to go wrong, this fat translator is a tool for the Lakers to spread the word to the big domestic market , not solely responsible for Li Shengli's translation.

……

Didn't think much about it until everyone was in place.

Under the arrangement of the press officer, the interview and questioning of this press conference began, and Li Shengli pulled a fat translator, who seemed to be about the same age as himself, and he didn't know where the management got him.

"Translation? I said brother, who called you?" Li Shengli asked.

"Me?" Hearing Li Shengli's initiative to greet him, Xiaopang was so excited that he was at a loss. He shook hands with Li Shengli's cattail fan and said immediately: "Yes, yes, I am a translator, a professional translator, and I will help you later... Let's not talk about this first, what the hell~~ Lao Li, I finally saw you, I am so excited, so excited!"

"Wait... Me? Old Li?" Li Shengli asked, pointing at himself.

"Yeah, that's what we call you in China now. You are a national idol now, and you're so red and purple. When I heard that you were interpreting for you, I was shocked..."

"Don't, brother, calm down, okay, I'm here, why are you so excited?" Li Shengli patted Xiaopang and said: "Also, what's Lao Li, what are you calling 'Old' if you're less than forty or fifty? '?"

"There is no such thing as age. It's just a matter of oral habits. That's what domestic fans call it. If you don't like it, I'll think of something else for you. However, the rest of your Lakers also have it... You are like your old man. bar."

Old bus?

Damn it, Barkley?

But the words 'your old bus' sound like a curse. After all, the word 'old bus' is too easy to be misunderstood if you don't read it literally. Come, this fairy translator who emphasizes his professionalism, doesn't he consider the context?

"Don't, don't, don't call me a nickname, your craft..."

"Old Li, you don't believe my translation skills, really, I..."

"Okay, okay, I believe, the interview has started, please sit down quickly, we'll talk about it when we're done."
