Chapter 147 The Heaviest Ticket in History
In the locker room, the Knicks greeted Jeff Van Gundy like a returning hero.Everyone gathered around him. Although what Van Gundy said was what everyone thought, not everyone could say it.
Tom Thibodeau is full of worry. Everyone knows what is going on in the league, but who has said it?
The league has hacked quite a few teams in the past few years. Even if they were as unjust as the Kings, they would not dare to openly break the window. Adelman only complained about the referees, and he didn't even dare to complain about the referees. He only complained about the uneven number of fouls and other surface articles.
Is Adelman stupid?Can't he see it?
Of course he could see it, but why didn't he say it?
If the league wants to support a certain team, the other 29 teams will be the foil. These words may change the situation, but the domino effect will be terrifying, and the other 28 teams will definitely not support, because they are all ready to cut their heads and want to get in front of the Jewish old man, kneel and lick him, hoping that their team can become the next Lakers.
Who would do such a thing of sacrificing me to benefit the other 28 families, unless he is stupid!
This is the league, not the NCAA, a profit-seeking business field, talking about the fairness and justice of competitive sports.
In Tom Thibodeau's view, Jeff Van Gundy is indeed stupid and impulsive today.What he didn't know was that Jeff Van Gundy had been an assistant coach for 6 years, a head coach for 8 years, and the best 14 years of his life (from the age of 27 to 41) were all related to the Knicks.
Van Gundy witnessed the Knicks' rise, peak, and decline because of Ewing. In the past 14 years, the Knicks have also touched the floor of the finals, but they are always short of breath. This makes Van Gundy exhausted physically and mentally.
That's why Van Gundy has changed so much this season, becoming crazy and unpredictable, which surprised his old partner Tom Thibodeau.
This season, Zhao Ke has never shown the explosive scoring ability of the tiebreaker in the finals of last season. The outside world thinks that Zhao Ke was fooled that time.But Van Gundy didn't think so. As the head coach, he clearly felt that Zhao Ke was holding back and creating opportunities for his teammates.Especially in the game just finished, in the second quarter, Zhao Ke reproduced the thrilling scoring ability he had a year ago, which made Van Gundy more sure of his judgment.
Based on Van Gundy's understanding of Zhao Ke, if he didn't say what he said at the press conference, Zhao Ke would definitely say it.
So he put Zhao Ke in the locker room and stepped forward. Of course, he meant to repay Nix for his kindness, but the main purpose was to protect Zhao Ke.
If the Knicks want to win the championship, they can do without anyone, but they can't do without Zhao Ke!
Zhao Ke also thought of Van Gundy's intentions.
What Van Gundy has done this season can be regarded as escorting Zhao Ke, completely trusting him, and always taking him as the core.If it were Larry Brown, for a player like Zhao Ke who has been suspended for three days and two ends and still has a lot of ideas, it would be strange if he didn't sit on the bench!Zhao Ke kept this kind of kindness in his heart, so he didn't make a fuss, and sat quietly in the locker room waiting for Van Gundy to come back.
After the big guys had had enough fuss, Zhao Ke walked up to Van Gundy. After a long while, Ai Ai held back her gratitude, and finally said, "Coach, we will definitely win the next game and sweep the Lakers!"
Van Gundy smiled, stretched out his fist, Zhao Ke also stretched out his right fist, Van Gundy bumped into him lightly, and said seriously: "Next time, take out all your weapons and show us!"
Zhao Ke nodded, nothing to say, the fourth game will definitely beat the Lakers every quarter!
However, Zhao Ke and the others were too optimistic.
As the head of the NBA for 18 years, David Stern, a lawyer, is short in stature, but he is very tough. Even if the NBA is suspended, he has never been softened.
The "referee incident" singled out by Jeff Van Gundy is absolutely unacceptable to NBA officials. Once admitted, the NBA will fall into a crisis of trust and cannot extricate itself. The business empire that the Jewish old man has painstakingly managed for 18 years will come to naught.So I can only frame Van Gundy for spreading rumors and talking nonsense, and he must be severely punished, so I seem to be justified!
Early the next morning, David Stern held a press conference and personally announced the punishment for the Knicks:
Jeff Van Gundy was fined $50 and suspended for three years for inappropriate remarks that caused serious consequences.
Zhao Ke was suspended for 10 games for allegedly provoking and insulting the audience in the third game of the finals.
After announcing the punishment order, David Stern said during the reporter's question session that this punishment does not represent the NBA's final punishment for the duo.The alliance will set up an investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation of this incident. If the two do not repent and go further and further away from the alliance during the process, they will face a lifetime ban.
Two hours after David Stern's press conference ended, the New York Knicks' official website published a message:
The New York Knicks and head coach Jeff Van Gundy renewed their contract early for six years and $3000 million. During the contract period, Jeff Van Gundy will also serve as the executive vice president of the New York Knicks.
In addition, James Dolan also publicly stated through the New York Times: The league's $50 fine on Jeff Van Gundy will be borne by the team. Van Gundy has the right to defend his freedom of speech, and the New York Knicks will firmly support it.
Since Zhao Ke joined the New York Knicks, both James Dolan and the New York Knicks have become heroes. This tit-for-tat counterattack won the support of all Knicks fans, and some Knicks fans even burned a huge portrait of David Stern on the street...
And what about Zhao Ke?
He's writing a will!
Life is counting down, Zhao Ke and Van Gundy are both suspended, and with the referee's help, if the Lakers can't win four consecutive championships, they don't deserve to be worshiped as the Zijin Dynasty in another time and space!
6月12日第四场,6月14日第五场,6月16日第六场,6月19日第七场。
Zhao Ke is expected to die in some indecent way at the end of the seventh game of the finals on June 6. Fortunately, he has been suspended, so he can not be broadcast live when he dies.
Today is June 6th, so I can still live for 10 days.Shouldn't it be time to plan how to spend the last 10 days of your life?
How about asking a certain degree? At this time, Zhao Ke saw the news on the Knicks official website.
Official website?
Zhao Ke suddenly thought of something!
PS: Thanks to Lan Fengxin for his opinion, it has been changed to be fair and just!
