Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 644 [The war for world peace, a way to divert attention]

Bogut, the Lakers' Australian No. 1 pick, has become more honest and low-key recently, as if he has become a different person.

Bogut has no choice. Unlike O'Neal, he can't even shoot a few shots in a game. Without luxurious statistics, he doesn't have enough confidence to question Kobe's independence.

Moreover, Bogut is only a rookie, and his big mouth got him into a lot of trouble in the summer. Now if he criticizes Kobe, he will be labeled as a parallel import No. 1 pick and then labeled as a thorn. In the future, he will be NBA is not easy to mix. This is not something that can be easily passed by holding a business-as-usual meeting in the Bucks.

Kobe Bryant made several innuendoes at press conferences about Bogut's poor abilities and his high ambitions. He was also being stupid, and what he said might be true, but what good would it do to him to attack his new teammates?

Now when people on the Internet mention the relationship between the two Lakers, they say that Kobe is imitating Jordan in his personality and the way he treats his teammates. He wants to destroy Bogut like Jordan destroyed Kwame Brown.

Fans only discussed it for one day. On the evening of the 28th, everyone no longer paid attention to the Lakers' loss and Kobe. The Pistons vs. Pacers game attracted everyone's attention, because the Auburn Hills Palace battle broke out again.

It broke out again was Guo Xu's personal feeling. He thought that this incident had been wiped out in NBA history, but he didn't expect that the fight would start a year later.

The incident took place at the Pistons' home court, and the trigger was Artest and Ben Wallace. The Pacers frequently used the shark-killing tactic on Ben, sending him to free throws. Ben was hit 3 of 12 from the field. After Artest committed a defensive foul in the fourth quarter, the angry Ben pushed Artest hard with both hands. A handful of them triggered a large-scale conflict.

After Flip Saunders, who likes to attack, coached the Pistons, Ben lost the ball on the offensive end. The Pistons have been losing consecutive years. In 2004, they finally made it to the Finals and were beaten by the Suns. Fans began to discuss whether Ben was the Pistons' team star or an undercover pit on the offensive end.

These things put together made Ben play with a feeling of anger in his heart.

He has to prove himself because this season is his contract year and he wants a big contract, but his data has declined.

The Pacers reached the finals last season, but were also beaten by the Suns. Artest, who has not yet charitable world peace, is also holding a breath in his heart. His resentment is no less than Ben's.

Artest was selected to the Eastern Conference All-Stars for two consecutive seasons and won the Best Defensive Player Award. It can be said that he has proven himself on both offense and defense, but what kind of contract did he sign?

He signed a low-salary, high-performance contract with the Bulls that year, worth 42 million over six years, executed in 2003 and expiring in 2009.

At that time, he had no record with the Bulls, and he did not expect that one day he would become an All-Star, which was a big loss.

Conflicts between players are common in sports circles. If two people were separated and did not fight, they would be suspended for one game at most.

But what happened next made the scene completely out of control. When Artest ran to the technical stage to ask for an explanation, a fan on the sidelines threw a beer glass at him provocatively, and a new round of conflicts began! Artest rushed to the audience to fight the fans, and Stephen Jackson and others also joined the battle group. A rare fan vs. player event took place with great vigor.

The difference between this battle and Guo Xu's previous life is that Artest didn't hit the wrong person. He immediately saw the real person who threw the beer glass, John Green. He was a guy who had been in prison and was not a good person. Seeing Artest rushing up, he showed no fear, and the two of them struggled together. There were a lot of gangsters in Detroit, and other fans quickly joined the fray.

One day later, President Stern issued a total of more than 140 game suspensions!

Artest was banned from participating in the remaining games of the season, Stephen Jackson was suspended for 30 games and won the title of Martial Saint, O'Neal was suspended for 15 games, and the Pacers Trident was on vacation together.

Ben Wallace was suspended for six games for pushing Artest and throwing a towel at Artest after players on both sides were separated. Billups, McDyess, Fred Jones and others were suspended for one game each for leaving the bench during the conflict.

It seems that Ben was not suspended for many games. In fact, his image was ruined because he was the one who caused the conflict and made the first move. Next summer, if the Bulls are still willing to offer a big premium contract to Ben, then just go to the street and point someone to become the Bulls manager, which will be better than the current mentally retarded manager.

This time, President Stern was really angry. This was really a case of comparing people to death and throwing away goods.

Compared with this group of niggas, Jason Guo is so right that the league chose to praise him. His style of play on the court is very clean (Sharingan defense), and he is versatile off the court (not doing his job). This is the kind of person who should represent the NBA.

Stern also thought about the league lockout in 1998. What happened after black stars were promoted? Everyone asked for a salary increase because they thought the money they earned was not enough. Jordan's annual salary was 30 million. As soon as his rookie season ended, Garnett renewed his contract with the Timberwolves for 6 years and 126 million US dollars...

At that time, Stern said that players' salaries were already a lot compared to ordinary people, and they could not ask for too much. Faced with such a problem, Ewing, chairman of the players union, said: Yes, we make a lot, but we spend more!

Stern feels that if Guo Xu becomes the chairman of the players union, the labor agreement will definitely be much simpler, but Guo Xu will definitely not sit in this position, and he has no time to get involved in such things.

Guo Xu has become a star. What he wants is not money, but more fun. He is ready to perform a musical in the star game and take the fans along with him in an elegant way. Look at the niggas from these two teams. They can't even beat each other. Why are they beating the fans in the stands?

After thinking about it for a while, Stern picked up the phone and called Guo Xu himself.

Hi David, good evening.

Hello, Jason, are you busy right now? As soon as Guo Xu's voice came over the phone, Stern felt very comfortable. The two of them were chatting like old friends.

Except during games, I'm usually not busy. If I have anything to do, please ask the president for instructions. Guo Xu said with a smile.

Stern smiled bitterly and said: Have you practiced singing recently? I want to ask how your preparations for the musical are going?

The preparations are going very smoothly. The Houston Grand Opera House will fully cooperate. They also want to show up at the Star Weekend and praise their singers and actors. My management team will discuss in detail the income sharing. Contracts will be signed in advance. Actors for important roles have also been selected...

Guo Xu reported the progress to Stern. As a decision-maker, he had the right to know these things.

NBA can be seen as a trademark for luxury goods, and All-Star Weekend is a promotional and publicity activity conducted by the NBA. If the league does not agree, Guo Xu will not be able to hold a concert at Star Weekend no matter how famous he is without the banner of NBA. He is very grateful to Stern for giving him such a big platform to show his (pretend) style (b) .

Stern smiled and said: Jason, you have created many miracles, and we are all optimistic about you this time. I like Broadway musicals very much, and I will definitely sit in the front row to support you. You must try your best to perform well. , this time you represent the image of the NBA, a positive image.

I promise to be a good spokesperson and let more fans like NBA. Guo Xu paused and asked: Should I make this public after the next game?

Well, let's make it public.

Neither of them mentioned the Battle of Auburn Hills Palace, but Guo Xu already understood Stern's hidden meaning.

His publicity about the musical can divert attention and make people temporarily ignore the scumbags who beat the fans...——
