NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

In the past, cases like Rasheed Wallace were usually just suspended for one game and fined a few thousand dollars.

The Roaring Lord obviously underestimated the league's determination to improve the image of the event.

In order to promote this event globally,

David Stern, as the president, has made great efforts. He has traveled to several Asian and European countries just for the preseason.

A man in his seventies wants to establish a healthy and positive league perception for the NBA.

It is completely separated from pornography, gambling, drugs and violence, so that it can be promoted in various countries around the world.

It has only been a few days since the Palace of Auburn Hills, and he dared to commit crimes against the wind.

Rashid Wallace's behavior touched David Stern's nerves.

He made the decision personally to deal with it severely and strictly. The fine issued by the league also surprised everyone.

This is definitely killing the chicken to scare the monkey! Especially for a team with a criminal record,

He waved his hand and a huge ticket fell on the head of the Roaring Lord, which made him dizzy: 20-game suspension, fine of 50,000 US dollars,

Rashid Wallace was dumbfounded, and almost died on the spot with his hand raised.

The maximum punishment, the absolute maximum punishment, the Pistons received the wind, dared not say a word, and accepted the treatment,

Rashid Wallace was also told by the team to control his mouth, otherwise his career might suffer,

The parties and the team involved became silent, and even the media reporting on the matter specially said hello to deal with the matter coldly.

Rashid was so aggrieved in his heart, and the seeds of hatred took root in his heart. He didn't dare to say that the league was unfair,

But his resentment for the Nets doubled, especially that yellow man, don't let me meet you in the playoffs!

You have to know that the salary for 20 games cannot be played, because it is a personal suspension imposed by the league, and the team does not have to pay a penny.

That is a loss of millions of dollars.

On the other side of the ocean, a basketball forum was also arguing.

Some people thought that Rasheed Wallace deserved it for committing the crime against the wind,

Others thought that Rasheed just pushed slightly and should not be punished so severely,

But this cannot change the league's decision,

With it came a new saying that the league was creating a god, and in order to protect the Nets, it deliberately chose a civilian team like the Pistons to sanction and deter other teams in the league.

Such an outrageous statement is actually believed by some people. The spectators always like conspiracy theories,

They don't care at all that Rasheed Wallace inexplicably attacked Chandler who passed by.

When Roy called his uncle, even his uncle knew about the development of the NBA incident.

You should know that Roy and Yao Min have become the most popular stars and have long been the pride of the Chinese people. They are almost household names.

You can see their news every now and then.

As two inside players playing on the other side of the ocean,

the two groups of fans will also be very excited about this. Since Yao Min debuted early and became famous early, he still has an advantage in numbers.

But Roy's team performance is good, his personal data is also better, and his image is more outstanding.

He has become an idol of campus basketball.

In this atmosphere, the two of them would be watched by the national media with a magnifying glass every day.

Only the Nets, Roy knew that there were 4-5 domestic media stationed on the sidelines.

Everyone liked to take pictures of Roy when they had nothing to do.

Although Roy was annoyed, he couldn't say anything.

You have to know that in this era, traffic depends on media reports. In the era without self-media, if you want to be famous, you have to face this group of people every day.

Of course, with the rise of fame, the various things that bring more and more considerable income.

Almost all kinds of products endorsed by Roy himself must be strictly reviewed by Roy's agent Feigen.

He wants to make Roy a brand, a cash cow, so he will naturally be very picky in helping Roy choose.

Recently, he is negotiating with Roy about car endorsements. Mercedes-Benz and BMW have already been involved. Waiting for major brands to contact Roy,

But Roy only wants the ball, and he won't accept ads from the Japanese or the Koreans.

The Nets' courtside billboards have long been sold at sky-high prices.

By the way, some other Nets players have also received advertising contracts from major manufacturers.

Refer to the Peak contract of Battier of the Rockets.

You should know how difficult it is for ordinary NBA players to get commercial contracts. Chinese manufacturers are trying to give money.

The Nets players' eyes have changed when they look at Roy.

Recently, the most common question Roy has been asked is: "Are you Chinese stupid and rich? Is there anyone who likes black people? I want to recognize a godfather!"

These people are so crazy that Roy, who is fed up with it, finally said that he can recognize me as his godfather and inherit my Alipay Huabei.

DecemberThe games in December were very dense.

After 15 consecutive wins, the Nets were ended by the Washington Wizards. The crazy Arenas and Larry Hughes teamed up to score 77 points, and the Nets lost away.

In December, the Nets lost a total of 4 games. In addition to the Wizards,

When facing the experienced Pacers, O'Neal and Roy exploded each other, and the old Miller had an amazing touch. Even without Artest and Wu Sheng, the Nets still suffered a bitter defeat away from home.

In the other two games, because Kidd had personal matters, the Nets defeated the Kings and the Hawks successively.

In December, the Nets achieved a total of 11 wins and 4 losses.

Combined with the previous record, the Nets had an impressive record of 24 wins and 6 losses,

and sat firmly in the top spot of the league.

At this time, the New Jersey media excitedly shouted a new slogan: Make New Jersey great!

January 1, 2005

The first game of the new year was the much-anticipated "New York Derby".

You should know that the owner of the Nets has always wanted to move the team to New York,

Unfortunately, the area has always been firmly controlled by the Knicks, and he failed to do so. It was not until 7 years later in 2012 that he moved to Brooklyn as he wished.

During this period, the Nets have been discriminated against by local New Yorkers, especially the Knicks. They always feel that they are two levels higher than the Nets and cannot be compared at all.

Even if the Nets have made it to the finals twice in recent years, it has been difficult to change this concept.

As the largest city in the United States and the NBA club with the highest market value, they do have the capital to look down on the Nets.

Although since the retirement of the gorilla Ewing, the former old strong team has lost its glory,

It has become a weak team that everyone bullies and has not been able to turn over for decades.

But so what!

The New Jersey Nets, who should look down on the country folks in the suburbs, still look down on them.

Every time they play against the Nets, the Knicks are particularly excited.

It's like a poor relative visiting a city dweller.

No matter how you behave, they have to come a few times every season, which is really annoying.

Every time you need to prove that the city is not a place where you country folks can mess around.

But in recent years, they have been beaten by poor relatives.

The Nets have no choice. It's understandable to envy the big market in New York. You have to know that this small city in New Jersey is not the same as New York.

New York is one of the largest basketball markets in the world and the financial center of North America. Even the Boston Celtics and the prosperous Los Angeles Lakers have not been able to challenge the Knicks' position of the largest market value.

And it is a far-leading position that is almost unshakable.

Due to the existence of Wall Street, New York has been regarded as the most prosperous and wealthy city on this blue planet for decades, without a doubt.

Until the rise of a certain big country in the East...

But this is all later. So far, New York's position is unbreakable.
