At the end of the game, the moment the buzzer sounded, Ricky Davis raised his arms and shouted.
The Clippers players rushed up, hugged Ricky Davis, and surrounded him in the center.
Fans throughout the stadium chanted Ricky Davis's name and cheered for his final buzzer beater.
How long has it been since he enjoyed such treatment? Become the hero of a game.
He was once ridiculed for being arrogant and overly conceited, but who is the truly successful person on the court who is not a conceited bastard?
The only difference is that some people have the ability to be conceited, but Davis lacks that ability and self-discipline.
Plus, he is compared to LeBron James, which makes him look like a clown.
But there is nothing wrong with dreaming of becoming a hero.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms "The Biography of the First Master" records: "When the First Master was young, he and the children of the clan were playing under a tree and said: I must ride in this Yubao-covered chariot.
The uncle, father and son respectfully said, "Don't lie and destroy our family!" "
Although Davis was traded before he started his business, he also got a taste of riding on the same horse during this ordinary regular season.
In this game, Ricky Davis scored 14 points, all of which were very crucial points.
In the stands, Siakam Jr., like the fans around him, was excited for Davis's buzzer beater.
There is no sound in my ears, just the screams of the fans. This atmosphere is so great and crazy.
He originally supported James in his heart, but turned against him because of David Curry's average performance, and learned to rebel at a young age.
He said to his father: "Dad, I want a Curry jersey later!"
Chamo Siakam nodded and asked the Clippers Richele who was following him: "The kid wants a Curry jersey, is that okay?"
Racheli nodded and said loudly: "Of course! What do you think of this game?"
Chamo said: "Perfect, so perfect, this is a perfect game, a perfect day. I am forever grateful to you, and your Clippers will definitely become a great team."
After speaking, Chamo Siakam opened his arms and hugged Racheli warmly, and little Siakam also came over and hugged the fat man.
This touching scene was, of course, filmed by Jordan Peele's film crew. They are going to edit a special episode of "Special Fans" and release it on YouTube. It will be another good subject.
The only regret is that Mr. Smart was not in the shot.
In fact, it also happened. In the game just now, he hit the referee with popcorn, but it was filmed without missing a single frame.
Jordan Peele thought to himself: "When it comes to making topics hot, Mr. Smart is still good at it. We worked hard to come up with creative ideas to make movies, but in the end it just made some fans happy. If Mr. Smart doesn't take action, that's it. It was on the front page as soon as I made the move, the gap is really huge.”
People's admiration for Min Congda was like a torrential river, and his prestige increased again.
And Min Congda just wants to make some money.
It is really difficult to bankrupt the Clippers in a decent way.
Then we have to use dishonorable methods, asking the league to fine him and get some extra money for Min Congda.
Min Congda did not leave the arena, but returned to his general manager's office and waited for the league office to call him.
He knew that if something of such a rather egregious nature happened to attack the referee, the league would definitely hold him accountable.
In the past, Vice President Bozia called Min Congda, but this time the situation may be more serious.
After a while, Stern's call came directly to Min Congda's mobile phone.
As soon as he saw the call from Stern, Min Congda knew that the trouble might be a bit big.
"The greater the trouble, the greater the profit... Hello, I am Smart Min, general manager of the Clippers. What can you do with me?"
Min Congda answered the phone and introduced himself to Stern. He was not afraid of punishment from the league at all.
Stern's voice on the other side was very serious and said: "Smart, you got into trouble again today."
Min Congda: "It's because Foster's business ability is so poor that he doesn't even brag about his moves at critical moments!"
Stern: "Foster has 15 years of law enforcement experience and should not be questioned casually. And if you really have an opinion, you can protest after the game instead of insulting the referee on the field or even taking action. This is a very serious behavior. .”
Min Congda thought to himself that the game was over and there was no point in protesting after the game.
Min Congda: "LeBron has made a winning move in the playoffs. The league is here to praise him! How can fans enjoy the game if the referees don't even have basic fairness? Although fans love stars, they don't want to watch them either. Cheating to win the game, right?”
When James beat the Wizards on the road in the playoffs, that shot was very controversial because the referee didn't call it because it was an obvious move.
The league's attitude of wanting to create stars is too obvious, including last year's Eastern Conference finals, which wanted the Cavaliers to enter the finals, but unfortunately they couldn't beat them.
Min Congda's words touched Stern's pain point. How to maintain a balance between star-making and fairness has always been a difficulty for the league.
Without making stars, the NBA as a business league would not have high influence and high income. In the cultural atmosphere of the United States where individual heroism is rampant, without superstars, many fans would not have the patience to watch more than a thousand games a year.
It goes without saying that it is unfair. If sports competition loses fairness, it will lose its foundation. Even if you pretend to be fair, you must pretend to be very fair.
The whistle issue has always been a point of conflict between the two, so Stern called Min Congda as soon as the incident happened.
He just wanted to remind Min Congda not to make the matter a big deal, causing public opinion to criticize and criticize NBA refereeing issues again.
This will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the NBA. The NBA is currently recovering from the impact of the financial crisis and does not want to be dragged into another controversy over referee issues.
The Tim Donaghy incident in 2007 has already made Stern very anxious. This guy was just released from prison last year, and the world is clamoring to write an autobiography and expose the inside story of the NBA.
The pressure of public opinion and public relations in the NBA is very high, and Stern does not want any more internal problems to arise.
Stern slowed down his tone. He didn't want to argue with Min Congdad and discussed the terms directly. He said: "Smart, your behavior is absolutely not allowed. We have decided to issue you a $100,000 fine." , apologize to Foster, and then you will be banned from attending games for a total of 10 games."
When Min Congda heard this, he thought, "100,000 US dollars, holy shit, I'm rich. Throwing popcorn to the referee is a good thing."
Stern continued: "However, if you can promise not to raise the issue of the referee's penalty again, I can reduce the amount of the fine to 50,000 or less..."
"No! I can't guarantee it! Just fine me $100,000. I have no problem!"
"No, Smart..."
"That's it! I will apologize to Foster. Don't worry, I will pay the money soon."
