NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 212 The Final Match of the Regular Season

"Is this guy crazy?"

Stern, who was watching the game, said angrily.

He didn't pay attention to some of Crawford's favoritism before. After all, he also hoped that the Lakers could enter the playoffs steadily, so he deliberately arranged for Crawford to enforce the law.

However, he never expected that Crawford went so far and sent He Xinghui off the field in the second quarter, and the reason was also extremely absurd.

This kind of partiality is too obvious, and it seriously damages the image of the league and the image of the referee team.

Stern has already realized that if this incident is not handled properly, there will probably be a lot of trouble.

"Adam, you should deal with this matter immediately, first figure out the reason, and then do a good job of public relations, so as not to cause too much impact."

Stern ordered.

"clear."

Xiao Hua turned and went out.

When He Xinghui left the field, the team was 35 to 28. By the end of the whole game, the score became 102 to 110.

When He Xinghui was away, the Clippers lost by 15 points.

Moreover, until the end of the game, He Xinghui, who played less than one quarter, was still the one with the highest score in the team, with 24 points.

Gasol took 20, Maggette 14, Mobley 13, Kaman 9, Kassel 8 points, Livingston 6 points, and several others added up to a total of 8 points.

Seeing this kind of data, Barkley didn't know how to complain. He could only say: "The Clippers are too dependent on He, which is a hidden danger. Of course, any team with superstars has this problem. Cavaliers, Suns, Mavericks, Lakers."

"It is also for this reason that referees should be more cautious in whistleblowing superstars, and should not send them off for no reason. This undoubtedly determines the outcome of the game."

Smith sneered at Crawford.

"Let us wait patiently for a while, and at the press conference, we will know the reason why my cousin was sent down."

Many fans were already changing channels, and Barkley had to find a way to remedy it.

It didn't take long for the Clippers to play first.

Those present were Dunleavy, He Xinghui, Gasol and Kaman, and there were a lot of people.

"He, may I ask why you were called the second technical offender?"

The first question at the beginning is the one that fans are most concerned about.

"I don't know, maybe it's because I look so pretty when I smile, like a flower."

In fact, what He Xinghui wanted to say was that Crawford had something wrong with his brain and should go to the hospital for treatment.

However, this is not necessary.

If you really persuade Crawford to cure the illness, it would be too cheap for the other party, and the best choice is to continue to let the other party go crazy.

He Xinghui estimated that the league will ban Crawford for at least one season this time, which is enough to cause him a heavy loss.

Moreover, his fans will not let Crawford go, and their public opinion condemnation will also bring great mental pressure to Crawford.

The referee has a lot of power on the court, but if you want to compete with superstars, if you go too far, the loser must be the referee.

What He Xinghui paid was nothing more than a loss in a game.

"."

Everyone was almost overwhelmed by He Xinghui's answer. They smiled so nicely. The reason was too ridiculous, obviously nonsense.

They originally thought that He Xinghui would spout unrestrainedly, and then blatantly tear Crawford apart.

Unfortunately, He Xinghui once again surprised them.

No way, they can only turn to Kaman.

Kaman said: "To be honest, Joey was very unprofessional in this game. He called me a technical foul before the game started, which is almost unheard of."

Speaking of which, he was also quite wronged.

"The penalty for He is even more bizarre. Can you believe that a superstar committed three fouls in a single quarter plus a technical foul? Then he was sent off after sitting on the bench and smiling?"

Kaman's expression is in place, the main reason is that he is not acting, but showing his true feelings. He really can't understand Crawford's operation, it's outrageous.

On this issue, Gasol was also vague, expressing his dissatisfaction with Crawford cryptically.

They are players, so it's not easy to be too obvious.

But Dunleavy has no such concerns. He has no fans and doesn't need an image. At worst, he will be fined by the league.

He needs to use a tough attitude to tell other referees that he is not easy to bully.

If you want to bully yourself, you have to be prepared to be bullied.

Dunleavy said: "There is no doubt that this is a questionable penalty. I suggest that the league investigate Joey Crawford to see what purpose he specifically targeted our Clippers."

These words are tantamount to implying to the audience that Crawford may have participated in gambling.

This is undoubtedly very bad for the image of the alliance. Dunleavy's words are equivalent to a slap in the face of the alliance, and the consequences are very serious.

"You mean Joey took part in the betting?"

The reporter immediately asked, this is a big breaking point.

"No, no, I'm just saying that this penalty is outrageous and abnormal."

Dunleavy said.

"After losing this game, you are already one game behind the Suns. Do you still have the confidence to lead the team to compete for the second place in the Western Conference?"

The reporter also said which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted. Dun Levy became irritable when he heard this.

He didn't say sure, he just said he would try his best.

The reporter also asked He Xinghui the same question.

"Of course. After all, the initiative is in our hands. As long as we win the next game, the Suns will be out of the game."

He Xinghui said.

"However, as long as the Suns win the remaining games, you will be even more hopeless. How can you say that the initiative is in your hands?"

The reporter reminded.

"Don't worry, the sun can't beat us, I'm the sun's nemesis."

He Xinghui nonsense, and then ended the question.

Then it was the turn of the Lakers, in attendance were Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant.

Kobe also performed very well in this game, scoring 39 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

It's a pity that the reporter didn't seem to know.

They asked: "Kobe, what do you think of He being sent off? Do you think he is a bit wronged? If He was not sent off, do you think you can still win this game?"

"That is the referee's business, I will not comment. As for the game, no matter who the opponent is, I will work hard to win."

Kobe said depressed.

It was so hard to win a game, but in the end, people suspected that the victory was incompetent, what a fucking shame.

"However, He scored 24 points in the first quarter. With his fiery state, it is normal for him to score 50 points. Under such circumstances, can you still win?"

The reporter continued to press questions.

"I will not make such boring assumptions, and the game is not such a simple addition and subtraction game. He will inevitably take up more shots on the court, and his teammates will not be able to score so many points. He is on the court, we Defensive strategy, intensity will be adjusted accordingly.”

Kobe tried to explain clearly, but unfortunately, his explanation was a bit redundant.

For those who like him, everyone understands even if he doesn't explain.

Those who hated him, even if his explanation made sense, those people would not listen to him.

The way he tried to explain, it seemed that he was very guilty.

After the game, the outcome of the game was briefly mentioned by the media, and all the pen and ink was spent on He Xinghui's expulsion.

However, the major media basically did not express their attitude, but only stated the course of the incident.

Stern has already greeted the major media, and must not have anything to do with gambling.It hasn't been long since the last scandal, and if it happens again, the ratings of the NBA will really be irreparable.

The newspaper did not characterize the matter, and everything still depends on the investigation report of the alliance.

The fans didn't have to wait too long. The next day, the league gave the results of the investigation.

The report is very long and a lot of nonsense, it is simply challenging the patience of the fans.

His rhetoric was also very vague, to the effect that Crawford was not proficient in business, did not have a good grasp of the penalty scale, and was a little out of order that day.

The league put all the blame on Crawford personally and made no mention of gambling.

The only dry product in the report is Crawford's penalty result.

He was revoked from law enforcement qualifications for one season, and he needs to re-study and take the exam. After passing the poetry test, he can re-enforce NBA games.

In fact, it was just suspended for one season.

As for the so-called exam later, it wouldn't bother Crawford at all.

In addition to punishing Crawford, the league also charged Dunlevian with inappropriate speech and fined him [-] U.S. dollars to maintain the prestige of the league.

After the punishment result came out, all parties were satisfied.

He Xinghui was very satisfied. After all, he only lost one game, but cost Crawford a season's income.

More importantly, this is tantamount to giving a warning to other referees, so that other referees dare not target him again.

For He Xinghui, who is about to play in the playoffs, it is quite beneficial.

Dunleavy is also satisfied. In the future, other referees will not dare to bully him too much. They need to show him some face so as not to be bitten by his mad dog.

The 2.5 fined will be paid by the management.

He had nothing to lose, but gained fame and gained a lot.

Star fans are also satisfied, the person they hate has been punished.

As for Kemi and Xinghei, although they were a little disappointed, they had nothing to do with them after all, so they didn't care too much.

In the whole incident, the only person who suffered a big loss was Crawford alone.

The day after being punished, Crawford was at home, reading the newspaper.

Suddenly, there was a sound of glass breaking.

When he ran out, all he saw were broken windows, and the perpetrator had disappeared.

"Fake, Madefake."

Crawford angrily called the police.

Then the police said it was very difficult for them to do this kind of thing.

It would be a waste of police force to squat and watch, after all, this is not a big deal.

There are still a bunch of shootings, robberies, and thefts that have not been dealt with in the bureau.

If you don't squat down, it will be extremely difficult to catch lawbreakers.

In the end, the police persuaded Crawford to move, or publicly apologized in front of the media and asked for forgiveness.

What is Crawford's final choice, not many people have paid attention to.

The regular season has reached the final stage, and everyone is paying attention to which teams can get the final seats.

The competition at the moment is pretty good.

On April 4, the Clippers defeated the Bucks, and the Suns also defeated the Trail Blazers.

On April 4, the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers, and the Suns also defeated the Knicks.

On April 4, the Clippers defeated the visiting Eagles, and the Suns defeated the Raptors away.

On April 4, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets back to back.

On April 4, the Suns slaughtered the Warriors at home.

Towards the end of the season, the two teams broke out with amazing fighting power and turned on the winning streak switch.

These days, they are gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

That momentum, there is a competition for rankings, it is clearly a competition for the championship.

April 4, the last day of the 20-2005 regular season.

Previously, some teams have completed 82 games, and the playoff spots have also been determined.

For example, the Lakers, they have a record of 45 wins and 37 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference.

The Kings are 44 wins and 38 losses, ranking eighth in the West.

After all, because the Jazz lost too much in the early stage, they finally ranked ninth with 41 wins and 41 losses, and missed the playoffs.

The playoff spots in the West have been determined, but the East is fiercely fighting.

The 76ers, Bucks, Bulls, and Pacers are vying for the final three spots, and they will have to wait until the end of the game on the 20th to finally determine who is eliminated.

Currently, the 76ers and the Bucks are the most dangerous.

Their game is the highlight of No. 20.

However, there is also a battle of focus in the West, and that is the Suns vs. Clippers.

The Clippers are currently 52 wins and 29 losses, and the Suns are 53 wins and 28 losses.

Although it is one game short, it doesn't matter. As long as the Clippers win this game, their record will be equal, and the comparison is the record of the two sides.

At this point, the Clippers win out.

In other words, as long as they win the Suns in this game, they can create team history and rank second in the Western Conference.

Of course, even if they lost, they also created the team's winning history.

Therefore, for the Clippers, there is no pressure in this game.

On the other hand, the Suns, from the management, down to the team, and then to the fans, are all worried.

They also got 62 wins last season, first in the league.

This season has regressed too much, and may even be swept away by a bad team for ten thousand years. This is a shame.The Lakers still won a game anyway, although it was by referees.

However, at least it avoided being swept away.

4 month 20 day.

Staples Arena.

The number of female fans in the arena set another record, exceeding 1 for the first time.

Before the game, some male star fans even launched an activity to give up tickets to female fans, and then stayed outside the arena to watch the live broadcast, in order to give He Xinghui a little more help.

It's crazy.

Of course, it is still incomparable with European football hooligans.

If there is a chance, some female fans of European teams will even use their bodies to seduce the opponent's players and consume the opponent's energy. This is called selflessness.

And the men who started the campaign weren't entirely altruistic.

Relying on the friendship of sending tickets, we will have a meal together after the game and chat about the game, isn't the opportunity just here.

CCTV5.

"Friends from the audience, this is CCTV5, and the next thing I will broadcast for you is the NBA game, the Clippers vs. Suns game. In the previous game, the Rockets have already confirmed that they will miss the playoffs, which is a pity.

However, this will allow Dayao to have more rest time and better prepare for the World Championships.On the stage of the NBA playoffs, there is also A Xing representing China.

This game is very important for Ah Xing, because according to the ranking rules of the NBA playoffs, they will be able to rank second in the West after winning this game and gain home court advantage.If you lose, you can only be ranked fifth in the West, and you will encounter the Spurs in the first round.”

Zhang Lili was popularizing some NBA rules, and what the fans listened to was also very interesting.

TNT.

Smith said: "This game is very important to Cousin. If he wins, he still has a chance to compete for the MVP. If he loses, he will definitely have no chance."

He Xinghui is currently ranked third in the ranking of MVP predictions, behind James and Nash.

Only by defeating Nash again can he have hope.

"Haha, Kenny, you're out of date. I just spoke to my cousin on the phone, and he said he's going to win, but it's not because of the MVP fight you said."

Barkley laughed.

"Oh, what's the reason for that?"

Smith asked the audience's aspirations, but Barkley wanted to whet everyone's appetite and said, "Guess."

"Looking at records, team rankings, rewarding fans?"

Smith had no clue, trying to win by volume.

"No, no, my cousin said, he wants to win this game. Because that's the only way he can meet the Lakers in the first round."

Buckley said.

"Oh, it turns out that my cousin wants revenge. It seems that he was very unwilling to lose last time."

Smith laughed.

"Wrong again. What my cousin said is that because the Lakers are easier to play, it is convenient for him to advance to the second round."

Buckley said.

This remark made the star fans in front of the TV very happy.

Fortunately, not many Xinghei and Kemi were watching TNT, otherwise they would be blown up alive.

While they were chatting, the players started entering the field.

When the Suns entered the arena, they were booed all over the place.

Not yet in the playoffs, but this is already a real playoff atmosphere.

Fortunately, the Suns played in the playoffs last season. With this kind of experience, they didn't panic.

After the sun passed, the Clippers players entered the field.

The small supporting role, which is usually not cheered by anyone, also received applause from the audience at this time.

When the main players came out, there were all kinds of cheers besides applause.

When He Xinghui appeared on the stage, the cheers reached the highest level, and various banners were pulled up.

What 83 points, 53 wins, and the MVP sign were held up in their hands and swung around.

[The star of charm takes effect, and the host's all attributes increase by 20.00% in this game II. 】

From the system prompt, He Xinghui felt the fans' madness.
