NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 330 Match Point
"Humph!"

New York, Stern's home, his complexion is very bad.

He has received a report from the scene just now, knowing that his signature star was humiliated and provoked by a role player using racially discriminatory words, and now the Spurs have given up the game, and then it will enter garbage time. This G3 game is over. The ratings It will definitely fall to the bottom, and even affect the following series.

He is very disappointed with the Spurs, very disappointed with Popovich, can't you let the stars play more time, the money earned by the league is also distributed to the Spurs, and it is not considered for the league at all, such a head coach, such a ball Team, let him very disappointed.

"Ding ding..."

At that moment his cell phone rang.

Seeing the number, he immediately sat upright, and after answering the phone, he said seriously, "I'm David Stern, Mrs. Lindsay. It's an honor to receive your call."

"Mr. Stern, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late." On the other end of the phone, the words were very polite, but Lindsay's tone was a bit cold.

"No, Mrs. Lindsay, I haven't rested yet, please tell me." Stern said politely.

"Mr. Stern, someone told me that just now, the Spurs players performed racial discrimination against my husband during the game. Is this true?"

Lindsay asked coldly.

Stern sighed secretly, but without hesitation, he immediately said: "Yes, Mrs. Lindsay, I also received a report from the scene just now. That player is called Steve Kerr, a white player."

Lindsay said: "Mr. Stern, I don't want to get involved in NBA affairs, you know, but some bottom lines are needed, my husband will never be in the same league with such a person, you know what I mean Is it? He deserves the harshest punishment."

"Of course, I understand." Stern said quickly.

After Storm took over Nike, all the behaviors of meddling in the league have disappeared, and Feilong Sports has not. He is very happy about this, and he is very supportive of Nike's change of ownership.

Just a role player in his 30s. There are countless people like this in the United States, not even a hair of a flying dragon. Under the pressure of Lindsay, his choice is very simple, maybe he doesn't need to choose at all.

In the SBC center arena, Duncan walked off the court, but Zhao Dong did not. The game had just begun. Although the opponent surrendered, the battle had just begun.

"boom!"

During a fast break, the Spurs' backboard shattered into pieces of broken glass after hitting the basket after a 15-meter impact.

Looking at the deadly Spurs home court, Zhao Dong raised his head and roared, "Spurs slaughter the dragon, let me see how you slaughter it?"

All the Spurs fans in the audience, all the Spurs fans in front of the TV, looked at the devil-like Zhao Dong with extreme hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

"yeah!"

On the other hand, the away fans, the visiting team's bench, in New York and in China, countless Knicks fans and Zhao Dong fans cheered at this time.

"This bastard is so shameless! We have already surrendered, and he still does this?" Popovich was shaking with anger.

Zhang Lili laughed loudly and said, "The Spurs are on fire now. If it was replaced by someone else, the Spurs might still be violent, but would the Spurs dare?"

Among the VIPs at the SBC Arena, Rom West, the president of the Spurs, put down his phone in a daze.

This is a call from Nike, and Nike informed him that from now on, Nike will suspend its sponsorship of the Spurs.

For Nike, he can barely maintain his toughness, but in the face of the storm fund behind Nike, he is only qualified to kneel down.

"Damn Cole!"

All the anger, he went to Steve Kerr.

After 15 minutes, the rebound was replaced, but only 1 minute later, Fordson blocked the Spurs' backup center under the basket, and Zhao Dong played another fast break from the outside.

"here we go again!"

Bill Walton roared excitedly.

"here we go again!"

Countless people were either frightened or excited.

"boom!"

In an instant, the abdomen was smashed, and under a heavy dunk with both hands, the backboard that the Spurs had just replaced was like a piece of paper, and it shattered again.

"Tell me, how do you slay a dragon?"

Zhao Dong strode to the media seat behind the bottom line, and sternly shouted at the local sports newspaper reporter Mai Rui.

"..."

Mai Rui, whose face was like snow, was sweating profusely. Under Zhao Dong's powerful aura, his teeth trembled and he was unable to speak.

In the dead SBC Center arena, countless Spurs fans stood up and began to exit.

"This is the consequence of angering the flying dragon." Bill Wharton shook his head.

Robinson and Duncan, who were sitting on the bench, were bleeding from their fists. Seeing their rebounds being smashed consecutively, the Spurs fans left the field collectively. This is a great shame for superstars like them.

"Coach, let me play." Duncan stood up abruptly.

"Greg." Then Robinson also stood up.

"Sit down, don't get carried away," Popovich snapped.

Zhao Dong was off the court at this moment, passing in front of them, his cold eyes swept across the Spurs' bench, even the angry Robinson and Duncan unconsciously avoided his sight.

Only Popovich stared fiercely at Zhao Dong with a wolf-like glance.

"If I'm in the league for a day, the Spurs won't be able to stand out." Zhao Dong dropped a sentence that made Popovich pissed off.

"General, if you want to get the ring before retiring, come to New York and I'll take it for you, otherwise go hug O'Neill's thigh."

Zhao Dong dropped another sentence that made Popovich jump.

"Go back to your bench, this is the Spurs' territory." Popovich raged.

"Where I stand is my territory." Zhao Dong dropped the last sentence and left.

After 15 minutes, the rebound was replaced.

But at this time, the SBC Arena was almost empty, and all the Spurs fans left. More than [-] away fans occupied the SBC Center Arena, and the Spurs' home court became the Knicks' home court.

"This will be the most embarrassing scene in the history of the Spurs. There are two superstars inside, but they are beaten at home and the home fans run away. Now the first quarter of the game is not over yet."

Bill Wharton said.

"The spurs slay the dragon, and the flying dragon pulls out the thorns. The result is obvious. The flying dragon proved in one quarter that the spurs slaying the dragon is a joke. Congratulations to the flying dragon for successfully pulling out the thorns."

Matt said.

At halftime, the Knicks led by 35 points.

When Zhao Dong returned to the locker room, he was blocked by the media.

"Feilong, will you continue to shoot Cole?" A reporter asked.

"A racially discriminatory trash, this alliance has him but not me." Zhao Dong said coldly.

"Oh!"

The reporter exclaimed, is this going to kill them all?

"Cole is finished!" A reporter shook his head.

"If Dragon doesn't make a move, the league will not allow Cole to continue to exist. Don't forget what happened to Nike, don't forget the Storm Fund, and don't forget that Nike and Dragon Sports are now sponsors of the league."

another reporter said.

Popovich led the team back to the locker room, only to see President Rom West standing outside with a livid face.

"You go in first." He motioned to Duncan and the others.

"What's up, Rom?" he asked when no one else was around.

"I just received a notice from Nike that it has suspended our sponsorship." West said with a very ugly face.

"What a disgrace!" Popovich yelled.

"The league also called just now, and they will impose a lifetime ban on Cole." West said again.

"What?" Popovich was stunned.

"Involving racial discrimination, and the target is a flying dragon, the league has no second choice. I have to contact other sponsors to prevent them from being affected. Without sponsors, our Spurs will collapse. The boss has called just now, and he He is trying to get in touch with the storm, but the possibility is very small, he has no way to reach the level of the storm."

After finishing speaking, West left in a hurry.

"damn it!"

Popovich also felt that he was in big trouble and was very irritable.

He pushed open the door. Needless to say, the atmosphere inside was so bad that no one spoke.

"Steve..." He looked at Cole.

"coach?"

Cole stood up, feeling a little bad.

Popovich said calmly: "Leave the locker room first, go and discuss with your agent what to do."

"Coach, I didn't discriminate against him. I didn't know that was a word that involved discrimination..." Cole quickly explained.

Waving his hand, Popovich shook his head and said, "You don't need to explain to me, I can't help you with this matter."

"I was slapped by him and sent off, what does that bastard want?" Cole suddenly roared angrily.

Popovich said: "You are too impulsive, we all know that some things are privately known how the situation is, but can't be said, especially if your target is him?
Just now, Nike has interrupted the sponsorship of the Spurs. If this matter is not handled properly, the Spurs may fall into an operational crisis.Let's go, you can't stay in this alliance anymore. "

"what?"

Cole couldn't help being stunned, and everyone else was stunned, including Robinson and Duncan, they didn't expect it to be so serious.

The game ended with the Knicks' wild victory, 110:65, a 45-point away victory.

The G3 battle and what happened in it, even in the middle of the night, quickly spread throughout the league, the entire United States and the world.

The next day, countless media reported on the G3 battle.

At 9:300 in the morning, just after work, the New York League headquarters held a press conference to announce an additional punishment for Steve Kerr, which is a lifetime ban. At the same time, a fine of $[-] million was imposed on the Spurs, which is very severe. .

Cole and his agent then held a press conference, arguing that he was not discriminatory and that he didn't know it was a discriminatory term.

He also used many people and the media to support him, but none of these could shake the league's decision. Steve Kerr's lifetime ban became a foregone conclusion.

"Steve, you're 34 years old. If you don't fight, you won't fight anymore. What do you plan to do in the future?" Cole's agent Ronce asked at Cole's home in San Antonio.

"I...I don't want to leave this circle."

After thinking about it, Cole said, "I'm very interested in the commentary, as well as the coach. Please help me find out if TV stations like TNT need to hire a commentator, and maybe which team needs an assistant coach."

"Assistant? Narrator?"

Ronce frowned and said, "Let me try."

At noon that day, Jordan was caught by reporters in Las Vegas and was interviewed by the media.

"Michael, do you know about Steve Kerr?" the reporter asked.

"I saw the news, his brain is broken."

"Do you support the league's decision to ban the game for life?"

"Of course, we cannot allow something like this to happen."

"You and Cole had a conflict in the training game. He hit you. Does this affect your view on this matter?"

"That matter has been going on for a long time, personal relationship, and Cole and I have no problems for a long time. As a reporter, you should not confuse the public. This is two different things. Cole is involved in racial discrimination. This is the bottom line of society and cannot be touched."

"What do you think about Feilong playing number one?"

"The enhanced version of Magic, or the offensive enhanced version of Magic, there is no point guard in this league who can match him at the first position. Any point guard who encounters him will be blown up, except for double-teaming him on the outside. Plus, there's no way to limit the point guard on the Dragon. Of course, he's actually on the perimeter, and you have to double him no matter where he is."

On the 14th, the day of the G4 battle.

At seven o'clock, in the locker room of the home team, several reporters were allowed to enter the interview.

"David, are your feet okay?" A reporter asked quickly when he went in and saw that Robinson had changed his sneakers.

"There are still some problems, but I can persist." Robinson said.

The atmosphere in the Spurs locker room is still somewhat problematic. After all, the game the night before yesterday was too shocking, and they haven't fully recovered after two nights.

"Coach Popovich, have you figured out a play against the Knicks?" another reporter asked.

"We're ready for everything," Popovich said deadpan.

In the locker room of the visiting team, several reporters also went in to interview.

Yang Yi came to Zhao Dong and asked, "Feilong, are you still playing point guard tonight?"

"Of course." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Will the Spurs figure out a solution?" Yang said.

Zhao Dongdao: "Perhaps, how do you know if you don't try? But they are strong on the inside, and the outside is just like that. Appropriate tactics can indeed turn decay into magic, but beyond the scope of tactics, they are also powerless."

At 07:30, the two teams announced their starting rosters.

Knicks: Wang Zhizhi, Danny Fortson, Barkley, Latrell Sprewell, Zhao Dong
Spurs: David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Malik Rose, Mario Eli, Avery Johnson

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Bill Walton said: "The Spurs put backup forward Malik Rose on top, but his speed is slower than the starting small forward Sean Elliott, so the overall speed on the outside is slower. Help defend the flying dragon? Let the inside line out to help defend?"

Matt said: "Sean's tonnage is too small. Malik Rose can at least go up and use it as a meat shield. But the flying dragon is on the outside, and the fast break in the defensive counterattack is invincible. The Bulls can't defend against this defensive counterattack. The Spurs I can't even prevent it."

"Then tonight, the Spurs should work hard on the offensive end, and strive to play an efficient offense in the penalty area, so as to attack and attack." Bill Walton said.

At this time Matt sighed: "I don't know how the ratings are, the venue is not full, at least [-]% empty."

"The game the day before yesterday hit the Spurs fans too much." Bill Walton said.

At [-]:[-], the starter starts.

"Shh!"

Although it was a blow, when the away team played, the home fans booed hugely, drowning out the cheers of [-] away fans.

At eight o'clock, the game begins.

"Fortunately, the ratings have increased to 3000 million." In the TNT live broadcast, Matt was relieved after being notified by the director.

Dazhi and Duncan jumped the ball, and the Spurs attacked.

Little General Johnson got the ball, and Zhao Dong approached him.

Seeing Zhao Dong standing in front, Johnson's heart trembled, and his confidence was severely lacking.

But immediately transferred the ball to the shooting guard Mario Elli who was in charge of the response.

At this time, Duncan asked for the ball in the low post, and Mario Elli was about to pass the ball. The madman's defense was not a joke, and he quickly reached out and broke the ball.

Zhao Dong quickly made a quick run and ran with the little general Johnson. After crossing the center line, he received a pass from the madman.

Johnson secretly pulled Zhao Dong's jersey, and the latter slapped it off, making his teeth bared and his mouth cracked. He could only watch Zhao Dong enter the empty paint area.

"boom!"

With a tomahawk dunk from the free throw line, Zhao Dong opened the curtain for tonight's game.

Popovich stood expressionlessly on the sidelines, feeling a little chilly.

Outside, he knows that the outside is the weakness of the Spurs, he really can't change this weakness through tactics, tactics are not so magical.

He knew too well that if Zhao Dong at the small forward position was a bug, then Zhao Dong at the point guard position was a big bug.

Both Mark Jackson and the alien Cassel can make a splash in the first position by virtue of their slight advantage, let alone a big bug like Zhao Dong?

Two hours later, the Spurs once again ushered in a defeat at home.

Zhao Dong beat up the little general Johnson, and then frequently launched an attack on the Spurs inside. His attack focused on Robinson, who committed three fouls in the first quarter, leaving Duncan alone.

The Spurs also tried their best and did not hesitate to use role players to foul Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong got 32 free throw opportunities and made 30 of them. He exploded the Spurs with his free throws.

Neither Duncan nor Robinson persisted until the end. The former graduated with six fouls in the third minute of the fourth quarter, while the latter only persisted until the third quarter.

112:85, the Knicks won by 27 points, won the G4 game, led the Spurs by a big score of [-] to [-], and got the match point.
