Chapter 353: Artest changed his name, made a public apology, and the operation of Niguan Sao(2/3)
Sean Marks doesn't dare to make such a major decision here. David Stern means to set a precedent. The finals will be played first, and Artest's penalty will be reduced to 5 games in the regular season next season.
"It is not difficult to make a decision, we are not vain."
After Jiang Chao learned the whole situation, he sent a message to the Knicks player group. After getting everyone's check-box response, Sean Marks directly responded to the league with a fax.
…
The most outrageous management operation of the year occurred.
When the Lakers team and fans were in New York fighting for the league to lift Ci Shiping's Finals suspension.
Instead, the Knicks helped them.
Commissioner Sean Marks submitted a delay penalty letter to the league.
That is to say, Artest will not be banned from the Finals first, and then the regular season will start next season.
Arrogant!
Domineering!
Invincible!
Jiang Chao’s message to the players was:
"They think Artest can save the world, can you satisfy his wish to die standing up?"
Don’t you, Ci Shiping, want to die standing up? I will satisfy you.
Although the players continue to speak out for the team on social media, the boss's words actually expressed their inner thoughts.
Howard, Yao Ming and others are not afraid of Artest. Turk, Drew and others are not afraid of Kobe. Now you, Artest, make it seem like we depend on Artest to win???
So it’s no problem to respond one after another.
Howard even said that when the five Kobe Bryants came over, I would take them all!
Harden responded cheerfully from his hospital bed:
"Fuck him! But I will stay away from him."
Sean Marks' move also made fans in the Big Apple City excited.
This is too pretentious!
But we love it!!
Is this the demeanor of a boss from a big country?
The Lakers management was confused, didn't they expect that it was their opponents who were helping them?
This makes all the fans of the Knicks feel that they have a good reputation. We will not take advantage of you, the Lakers. When the time comes, all members will play, and we will not just win without force when the time comes.
The true character of a strong man!
In past and future generations, so many teams wanted to wipe out all their opponents' main players in order to win the championship. The Spurs injured Nash, Pachulia stepped on him, James stepped on Green, Green poked Harden in the eye, and snakes were released in the locker room.
In the long history of the NBA, championship resume is more important than anything else, just like today's fans have no memory of how the Knicks won the championship in 1973.
40 years from now, no one will remember what the Knicks did this year. They only know that a championship is a championship.
All other leftovers are just leftovers and no one will remember them.
The Lakers understand this truth very well, winning three consecutive championships is more important than anything else!
However, even Lakers star Jerry West lamented the Knicks’ approach on Twitter:
"What they did is great. They hope to bring a fair game to the fans. At least except for injuries, the players are absolutely intact."
Magic Johnson:
"I've never seen a team like this."
Big Bird: "If I were in the finals, I guess it would be difficult for me to make this decision. I thought I was pretending enough, but I didn't expect there was someone better than me. I sincerely suggest that Boss Jiang stop pretending."
…”
It's so important to tell the truth in g3. Many people in the industry feel that Jiang Chao has too little experience and may lose the game just for the sake of the team's pretentiousness.
Just like Wade's buzzer-beater and James' 40 points in a single game in the Eastern Conference Finals, do you really think the Lakers superstar won't stand up?
In fact, what Artest banned was just right.
Once g3 wins, the Lakers will no longer have the possibility of a comeback, but if g3 allows them to breathe a sigh of relief, it will not be so easy to win the series 2-1.
Suns President Downey Sr.:
"This must be what Jiang Chao means, he is this kind of person."
Howard replied:
"This is a matter for the players. What does it have to do with the boss? Has he spoken? We, the players, want to avenge Harden on the court. Of course, it is not the same revenge."
This sentence seems to be addressed to Jiang Chao, but in fact it is addressed to everyone, that is, all of them support the team's decision to defeat all Lakers!!
Then I also reminded Ci Shiping that he deliberately said that the revenge of the same style means that you should be careful. If trouble occurs again, we don't mind doing something dirty.
This is the home court of the Knicks!
Beverly even sent a Matrix gesture.
The most popular comment among netizens:
"I may have accidentally restarted your life!"
This is a little warning for the Knicks.
Although we have given you a chance to play, we will never let you cause trouble again.
Anyway, Ibaka has already practiced boxing in advance today.
The NBA was naturally quick to agree, and David Stern owed the Knicks a favor. Counting the fact that the Nets moved to Brooklyn before, David Stern unknowingly owed Jiang Chao a lot of favors.
"G3 is going to be even more exciting." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. Look at the crazy Purple and Gold fans outside the NBA headquarters. They really thought Artest was Pippen.
This also reflects the phenomenon that no one is available in the Lakers team. No one can step up as a substitute, which is why they want a player so much.
Otherwise, with the arrogant mentality of Humi, how could he fight for the home team even if there is such a small opportunity?
In the words of Spike Lee, if the big score is 1:1, Humi will not do this. This is a lack of confidence.
It turned out that all the efforts were not as good as a word from the Knicks.
Hu Mi became a clown in New York...
"There's nothing I can do about it. If the pen is in the hands of reporters, they are the biggest villains."
Many of Jiang Chao's friends are Hu Mi, so they asked him what he should do now.
Jiang Chao didn't say he sympathized with them. He was definitely not a bad person at least speaking out for the home team. But since he did it, there was nothing he could do about it being reported.
No team's fans can be like White Lotus. Everyone will experience the ups and downs of the team. No fan of any team can be superior.
"Let's go, waiting to watch the game tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lao Lu patted his student on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
…
After leaving the arena, Jiang Chao did not go directly back to One-57 to rest, but went to the Chaoshen Group canteen to eat.
Oh no, the main thing is to have dinner with two new employees.
The Knicks management's dirty tricks have spread throughout the basketball circle. Artest's father has obviously arranged twice as many security guards for the arena. This is all at his own expense. Jiang Chao doesn't blame him. He must work harder.
.
Artest was depressed in the hotel.
He was sad to lose his online name, and he was sad to lose his real name. "Charlotte" was still playing on the pay TV channel, and the "no" in the snowflakes on the school grass was perfect for the occasion.
(Note: This is one of the secret tricks of Knicks fans at home. Naturally, the hotel is also helping the Knicks, so the paid movie channel bought all the works of Super God Film and Television in advance, just to make the Lakers players irritated...)
…
Jiang Chao swaggered to the cafeteria. Because it was shared by the entire office building, employees from other companies also ate here.
Because these two new employees were not well-known before, there were very few paparazzi and not many enthusiastic citizens to pay attention to them.
So Jiang Chao simply found them eating a work meal in the corner.
Jiang Chao took a look and ordered the same fat-reducing set meal as theirs.
A piece of sirloin and black pepper steak, broccoli and carrot soup, tomato pasta, freshly squeezed kiwi juice.
Seeing that the two of them were eating with gusto, Jiang Chao ate a little from the opposite side and watched them eat.
There was nothing he could do, he would have vomited this long ago.
"Oppa, you...why are you here..." When Wendy was drinking juice, she realized that the person sitting across from her was Jiang Chao, and she immediately opened her eyes happily.
"You guys are really hardworking people. You just discovered me now."
"Come on, it's our first time here."
