I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 233 The deal with Stern

"Also, I happen to know a little bit about Mike Johnny. In addition to the extreme hatred of all races except blacks because of being discriminated against since childhood, I have a few friends in Las Vegas who told me some Little story about him, David, I don't think you'd be interested in knowing that shit. And, you certainly don't want to know what the odds are for the Hornets to win this game after halftime."

Pera's flat voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Stern feel cold all over.

Some things are red lines that must never be touched in the NBA, even more serious than guns and drugs.

And Robert Johnny is the referee who enforces the law in this game.

Stern is also an old fritter rolling over in strong winds and waves, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Robert, I don't think there is any problem with the law enforcement. The referee is enforcing the law impartially. All the penalties are based on the rules. In addition, Lee is a player I admire very much. I think he is fully capable of taking over Kobe's position." mantle, and join LeBron as the new leader of the league."

Stern's words contained a lot of information, but Pella clearly understood.

"Yes, David, I think so too. The Grizzlies are very supportive of your work in the league. I wish you good health."

Some things don't need to be said too clearly, as long as both parties understand what the other party means, that's enough.

When Pella hung up the phone, Stern was stunned for a while, his face uncertain.

The Hornets lost to the Grizzlies by 32 points after scoring a full 19 free throws.

This data for the Grizzlies is 12 times.

Li Ran left with 6 fouls and Kirilenko with 6 fouls.

The referee is almost helping the Hornets to play 6 at 5, which makes him almost blocked by crazy fans when he is off the field.

You know, in this game, when the Grizzlies led the most, the point difference was almost 40 points.

After the game, a rare visitor came to the Grizzlies locker room.

Team owner, Robert Pera.

The young and promising Pella was all smiles, wearing a No. 0 jersey of Li Ran.

"It was a great game and I'm so proud of you guys."

Li Ran couldn't understand why the boss came to the locker room in person in such an unimportant and exciting game.

"Who is going to participate in the post-match interview today?" Pera kept smiling, looked around, and finally looked at the staff in charge of arranging the post-match interview.

"It should be Li."

"Come on, Li, I have something to tell you."

Pera pulled Li Ran to the corner of the dressing room.

"Li, you should have sensed that something wasn't quite right in today's game."

Li Ran nodded.

"I just happened to know some bad news about the referee today. I promise you that this person will never appear in the league to officiate any games in the future, and I just negotiated a deal with David Stern. The content is you, and what you need to do, I think you should know."

Li Ran raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

So I was really targeted?
I have this qualification?

He just wants to move a small mazza, get a piece of watermelon, and listen to Pella's gossip.

As for how to do it, of course Li Ran would not refuse something that was obviously beneficial to him.

The NBA also plays worldly.

"It's not convenient for me to disclose the specifics, but you will have good things this season." Pera said to Li Ran enthusiastically.

When Li Ran appeared in the post-match interview area and sat on the chair, all the reporters were overwhelmed with excitement.

The whistle for this game was obviously not right, even a little off the mark. The reporters all wanted to hear some exciting news from Li Ran.

When everyone thought that Li Ran would protest against the unfair treatment in this game, Li Ran had a calm face.

"Li, are you satisfied with the progress of today's game?"

Li Ran nodded.

"I am very satisfied. The team played the game they wanted and won the final victory."

etc?This script is wrong.

"Do you have anything to say about the referee's performance today?"

The second reporter just wanted to see him directly.

"No, the team won, that's the most important thing, I don't think there is anything wrong with the league's penalty."

Li Ran continued to speak with the old god.

He secretly replaced the referee with the league, and no one heard it.

The reporter was surprised. With Li Ran's temper, how could he be so tender and old?
Li Ran answered two more questions casually, and then left the scene.

Leaving the reporters looking at each other blankly.

A few days later, a message was posted in an obscure corner of the NBA's official website.

Referee Mike Jonny retired for medical reasons.

However, there are gossip that Jonny is being investigated by the league.

Li Ran has no time to care about these things. He just wants to play well.

In the next game, the Grizzlies ushered in a challenge from the Thunder at home.

The two teams are very similar, both are headed by young stars, and both are historical talents.

Facts have proved that Durant's offense is really unstoppable.

Another fact also proves another thing at the same time.

The Thunder really can't beat the Grizzlies.

Durant scored 23 points and 10 rebounds on 30 of 8 shots.

Li Ran and Curry scored 25 points at the same time.

However, except for Durant, who is the only person in the Thunder, everyone else in the Thunder has performed at the level of a war criminal.

In this game, Calipari did not let Li Ran or Kirilenko face off against Durant at all, but let them deal with Westbrook, Harden, and Jeff Green.

This kind of alternative Jordan-style defense gave the Thunder a crisp defeat.

The audience is Durant himself against the Thunder.

威少13中2，哈登9中1，杰夫格林15中3，塞弗洛沙4中1.。。。。

Teammates can deliver such a performance, it is reasonable for the Thunder to lose.

After defeating the Thunder, the Grizzlies' entire January game is over.

They lost just two games throughout January, and the Grizzlies have been on a winning streak since Kirilenko arrived.

After playing 49 games this season, the Grizzlies now have a record of 40 wins and 9 losses, still ranking second in the Western Conference and third in the league.

The Nuggets are rushing to break the regular season win record this year, and they have only lost six games so far.

Behind these two teams is the Lakers. After getting Yao Ming, the Lakers are also ridiculously strong, with 42 wins and 11 losses.

These three teams, together with the Cavaliers in the East, form the first group of the league.

It's just that the Cavaliers ranked first in the East have a worse record than these three teams. They are now 39 wins and 14 losses.

With such a record, they are far ahead in the Eastern Conference and are at the top of the list.

李然再一次获得了月最佳球员的荣誉，他这个月交出了场均24.1分15.1篮板3.1助攻3.3抢断2.9盖帽4.5失误的恐怖数据，命中率高达54.1%。

In February, the Grizzlies are five games away from the All-Star Game.

However, there is a high probability that Li Ran will be the only one selected for the Grizzlies this year.

Although Li Ran is already the undisputed champion of votes, compared with last year's grand occasion when the five Nuggets were selected, it is still a little bit less interesting.

This is because the Grizzlies are strong, but apart from Li Ran, the competition for the other positions is too fierce.
