Stern mentioned "NBA-Batman", and Silva immediately said: "I have emphasized this matter in the conference call of each team's media department before, and asked each team to pay attention to self-examination. Especially the Clippers."
Hearing the word "Clippers", Stern's heart skipped a beat and said, "It's the Clippers again, what's going on?"
Silva said: "This account wrote a lot of inside information about league teams and predicted some transactions, which were very accurate. At the same time, this account also made up some negative news related to the Clippers. Well... in short, it has noses and eyes, but it also It’s not very credible. I suspect that this account was opened by an internal Clippers employee.”
Stern said: "It is absolutely not allowed for internal NBA team employees to leak league privacy through social media. If it is really an internal employee of the team or headquarters who did it, find him and fire him, otherwise legal measures will be taken .”
Stu Jackson on the side interrupted: "Could this person be related to Smart?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and Stern, Silva and Bozia almost said in unison: "It's impossible."
Stern: "Smart is the general manager after all, so he can't do such a thing. It's not necessary."
Bozia: "Smart yelled at the referee because of a small penalty. If someone specifically slanders the Clippers, I'm afraid he will break the sky."
Silva: "It's possible that this is a propaganda war against Smart, and he is the victim. There is also a smear campaign against him in these tweets."
In short, Min Congda was ruled out as a suspect first.
At present, this account has not caused much trouble. Stern asked Silva to pay close attention to it and try to find out the operator behind it.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Stern, Racheli said that Smart will be in New York these two days and he will attend the premiere of a movie."
"Really? That's just right. Tomorrow, Silva, invite him to attend the fundraiser and tell him that the alliance has nominated him for the Best Citizen Award. Of course, we can't say that he will definitely win it. After all, there will still be a vote in the end. Talk to the judges then Don't be angry, give them a hint and give this award to Smart. It will save him endless trouble in the future."
"This guy also attended the movie premiere. He is indeed a fame-seeking guy."
The Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award is named after James Walter Kennedy, the second commissioner of the NBA.
It is mainly awarded to NBA players or coaches who have made outstanding contributions to society. In fact, it means donating money.
For example, Kevin Garnett won this award in 2006 after donating $1.2 million to the New Orleans area that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
It should be said that it is an award that encourages and commends good deeds, and its meaning is very positive and good.
When Stern made this decision, Min Cong was in New York to attend the premiere of the movie "Percy Jackson: The Fire Thief."
The premiere took place at the AMC Plaza in New York, and the entire cast and crew attended. Min Congda received Daddario's invitation and was among them.
It is said that culture and sports cannot be separated. Since Min Congda became the general manager and president of the Clippers and gained power, he has stepped into the American culture, sports and entertainment industry, chatting and chatting with people who he could only see on TV, movies and news in the past. chat.
Tonight, he also walked the red carpet with Daddario for a while, which caused a lot of attention. People speculated about the relationship between Min Congda and Daddario.
As he has made many sports headlines, Min Congda is well-known and recognizable in the American cultural and sports circles.
His appearance also boosted Daddario's reputation. Female celebrities without scandals are not popular stars.
But Min Congda was not very interested in such an occasion. He came to New York just to see Daddario and compete with her in martial arts.
People in the film industry seem weird to Min Congda. They are not as easy and comfortable to get along with as the straight men in the sports industry. Moreover, where there are too many women, there will be more disputes.
Min Congda watched the movie premiere in the evening. He had never seen this movie before, so after watching it this time, he could only say it was average.
"Percy Jackson", judging from its name, is very similar to "Harry Potter". It is also an adaptation of a magical book series. Percy Jackson is much inferior to Harry Potter in terms of sophistication and story logic.
It's barely a good commercial film. It can make some money without losing money, but it's hard to even think about trying to compete with "Harry Potter."
After Min Congda and Daddario attended the premiere, they had to go back to the hotel to have a discussion.
Daddario was surprised to find that Min Congda's skill seemed to have improved again, but his moves became fewer.
The most exquisite moves were used over and over again, but Daddario was unable to resist and was defeated one after another.
As the saying goes, the key to moves is fineness rather than excess. A powerful move with strong inner strength is better than many useless feints.
Daddario went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Min Congda's cell phone rang, and it was Stern's call again.
Min Congda thought to himself, he sent a videotape to the CEO a few days ago. Is he trying to fine me and send me money again?
Unexpectedly, when he answered the phone, Stern was not here to send money, but asked Min Congda if he was in New York. If so, he could attend a dinner hosted by the league tomorrow.
"Dinner? What dinner?"
"Charity dinner, come if you have the chance and bring your female companion."
"charity dinner?"
Min Congda didn't quite understand what the charity dinner meant.
He figured that since Daddario took him to the premiere, it would be great if he took her to a dinner party.
As for what the theme is, don’t worry about it. After all, I’m going to eat, and I’m not the protagonist.
So, Min Congda agreed wholeheartedly, and when Daddario came out of the shower, Min Congda told her about it.
Of course Daddario is very happy. As an actor, what you want is exposure. If Min Congda can bring her traffic, it will kill two birds with one stone.
This is also the reason why celebrities always fall in love with celebrities. They are well matched, have a common language, and can help each other in their careers.
To maintain a close connection between people, physical or emotional relationships alone are not enough. Interest relationships are often stronger.
When the two of them were deeply in love, they hugged each other and chatted for a while, and made a lot of firewood, until they were very sleepy and finally fell asleep.
The next day, on the night of February 5, Min Congda took Daddario to attend a charity dinner officially organized by the NBA.
Many celebrities from the sports world were present, including retired NBA superstars, team owners, well-known coaches, general managers, etc.
For example, New York star Fraser, Knicks owner Dolan, Celtics legendary superstar Bill Russell...
Everyone looked familiar to Min Congda, but he just didn't know him very well. On the contrary, most of the people at the scene knew him, which meant that he was very popular recently.
Ever since he was a child, he had never been so famous. Min Congda felt that his face was bright, and Daddario felt that the men around him were attractive.
Halfway through the dinner, Adam Silva knocked on his wine glass, everyone in the room fell silent, and Silva wanted to speak.
"Dear friends and guests, during this charity fundraising dinner, I would like to show you a short video. It was shot by the Los Angeles Clippers documentary crew. It is a record related to a special fan to help us focus on Move to far away Africa, which is the hometown of many African-American NBA players. Today, there is still poverty there, but the dreams related to basketball and sports have never been extinguished. Instead, with the help of some loving people, they are thriving! Now! , let’s watch this documentary first, “Special Guests”!”
As soon as Silva finished speaking, the lights in the audience went out, a screen fell on the podium, and the projector projected the film.
Min Congda suddenly felt a little bad, and he asked Daddario: "He just said, this is charity, fund-raising, dinner?"
Daddario nodded and said, "Yes, such banquets are all for raising funds for a certain project."
Fund raising? Min Congda wants to leave, I don’t have any money!
Half of the US$100,000 fined last time was invested in stocks.
I don’t want to spend the rest in my bank card. You want me to donate money?
Fifty dollars, okay?
Also, when did the Clippers film their short documentary?
"Special Guest"? How the hell didn’t I know that!
An unknown premonition lingered in Min Congda's mind.
"How do you feel, something is going to happen?!"
The biggest storm after crossing was sweeping towards Min Congda.
