Chapter 753 [Does he look like a saint? 】
Just one day later, Joe Crawford was about to go crazy and he received another threat letter from fans.●⌒,.
He hid at home and did not dare to go out, as if he had returned to the days when Wang Jun retired, and there were rats crossing the street and everyone shouted and beat them.
But he yelled very seriously this time, with at most two controversial punishments. Now he is called a "black whistle", which is unfair.
These are all the evils he did in the past. He offended too many people in the league and only had several teams offended. How could fans not find some reason to vent their emotions?
Not only Crawford was wronged, but Kobe was wronged.
In the sixth game, Perkins sprained his knee after grabbing the frontcourt rebound. Perhaps because Bynum hit him in the back, Kobe never touched Perkins' knee from beginning to end, and stood at the basket to defend. Some people said that Perkins was aborted by Kobe.
Kobe has a lot of small moves, but it is very difficult to kill Erpang Perkins with his weight.
At the same time, the former Black Whistle Tim Donahem was interviewed after seeing the seventh game of the finals, saying that he saw some unspoken rules and some inexplicable whistles. According to Donahem's speculation, these were deliberately arranged by the league.
He mentioned that the Lakers had 24 free throws from the fourth quarter, which made people wonder if the Lakers were not good enough to win the championship.
The Celtics played to the end, and the old guys were no longer physically strong, so Rondo could withstand it if he couldn't defend himself. He could only make a foul if he could not make a breakthrough. Crawford couldn't help but swear, right?
The alliance can control the tone of newspapers and radio stations, and cannot control the public opinion online, and the situation is about to get out of control. The final ratings cannot be raised, and this happens again, which makes David Stern begin to want to leave.
He really doesn't want to retire in this way, leave in shame, and leave a mess for his successor.
NBA has reached this point now, not because Wang Jun is willful, but because the president takes too much steps and wants to make money.
Take a look at a series of measures in the league: suppressing defensive teams, encouraging speeding up the offensive rhythm, and encouraging celebrities to join in...
This season is the most outrageous, and the "stepping" rules have been changed. After pulling the ball and catching the ball, you can take another two more steps, and the "stepping" has become legal.
Stars used to steal steps, so it was normal to do this, but changing the rules was a historic feat.
Of course, James' "crab step" is still a step. He was discomfort at the beginning of the season and was utterly fouled.
After the new rules were introduced, the referee specifically targeted James' skills for a while. He could steal steps like others, but not layups for four steps.
It was these officials who turned the NBA into a show, not a battlefield.
Judging from the lineup, can the teams outside the quarterfinals win 10 times against the Lakers? Since they are making a show, there will naturally be doubts. This time, the reuse of Crawford is even more backfiring and someone has caught the handle.
If it weren't for the title, why would this controversial bald man break the record and play three games? All so many referees in the league happened to be sick and couldn't play?
At the regular meeting of the NBA headquarters, several bigwigs gathered together to discuss and wanted to offset some adverse effects, but there was no good idea. The mouth was on the fans and they couldn't stop them.
After a moment of silence, Mark Barack, head of the International Development Department, said: "I have a way, but Adam needs to come forward to communicate."
"What's the solution?" Stern asked.
"Let Wang Jun go to TN*t radio to do a show and evaluate the seventh finals. As long as he is sure of Crawford's whistle, it is not a black whistle, and does not favor the Lakers, fans will definitely believe it. The grudge between Crawford and Wang Jun has been hyped for almost two years, and he speaks the most convincingly."
Everyone else here looked at Barack like an idiot. Stern shook his head and sighed: "Mark, Wang Jun, do you think he looks like a saint? Will he speak for Crawford?"
Xiao Hua snorted: "I think that guy would be good if he didn't scold him a few times. Don't think that he would give people face if he wanted to come back."
Barack didn't say anything, his face blushed a little.
Wang Jun’s personality may indeed curse a few words. If you only say “I deserve it”, it will save face. Will most people beat referees?
Joe Bogia, vice president of NBA in charge of referees, said: "If you can't find Wang Jun, what else can you do? Many fans have already asked Crawford to be suspended for life online."
Stern sighed and said, "Adam, contact Wang Jun and let him announce his comeback as soon as possible in the summer and sign a contract with a team. If there is any dissatisfaction with the Bulls, negative news, etc., the league will help him suppress it, use his comeback to hype the news, and suppress the finals."
"OK."
Jiang is still old, and Stern came up with a solution to change the topic. As long as Wang Jun makes a comeback, the media and fans will not focus on the ending finals.
When the limelight is over, they will consider things like letting Crawford retire. It is impossible to punish him now. There must be a reason to punish him. Isn’t that equivalent to admitting to beating the Lakers and blowing the whistle? This is a vicious cycle.
After the meeting, Xiao Hua immediately called Wang Jun and expressed his willingness to make a comeback as soon as possible, and also implicitly stated that it would give him some benefits.
For the league's senior management, this attitude is considered humble.
Stern could not invite Wang Jun to meet him, so he personally advised him to come back soon. If the two had too close contact, someone would definitely raise a conspiracy theory, saying that Wang Jun was the "own son" of the alliance.
Wang Jun was not an idiot, so he agreed immediately.
The league doesn't have to give him too many star whistles. As long as you don't care about what happened in the past year and a half, don't give him "little shoes" to wear. James joins the King, and the league doesn't find a reason to interfere, that's enough.
In the evening, Wang Jun went to TN*t Radio to do a show and talked about the finals with Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Reggie Miller.
The three "big mouths" gathered together and talked about a bunch of sensitive topics, which Smith could not stop them at all.
The three people have the same opinion. It is normal for the Lakers to win the championship. The decline in the Celtic veterans' physical strength is the reason for the collapse in the fourth quarter. They have to consider rebuilding in the summer, and the Big Three will definitely disintegrate.
Barkley mentioned the referee: "Some people on the Internet say that Crawford blew the black whistle, Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Jun smiled and said, "I suggest he never blew. He has too many problems. Who can guarantee that he will not get crazy again in the future? Who can guarantee that this lunatic will not bite me after I come back?"
Barkley laughed and said, "I think you're more like a lunatic biting him."
Miller changed the subject and asked with a smile: "The season is over. Since you have confirmed your comeback in the new season, can you announce which team you are going to now?"
Wang Jun shook his head and smiled and said, "I want to keep it a secret for a few more days until the free market opens. I will say to all veterans who are free agents here, don't rush to decide which team to join. I welcome you. If you join the wrong team and fail to win the championship at the end of your career, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Reggie, I hug him, you beat him hard in the face. This kid deserves a beating!" Barkley said, rolling up his sleeves and standing up.
Wang Jun hurriedly hid aside, and both of them bent over with laughter.
Barkley and Miller are both unlucky guys who have never had a crown in their lives, and Wang Jun's words are exciting enough.
After the show was broadcast, Crawford was completely finished. He couldn't even wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He was either a black whistle or a psychopath.
