NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start
173. Permanent ban?
"Ah, Mr. Lin Lei, is what you said true?"
After hearing Lin Lei's words, the media at the scene was also in an uproar, and no one expected that he would make such a decision.
"Mr. Lin Lei, if you think about it again, this matter is not a trivial matter, once a player makes a private statement of a strike alone, he will be severely punished by the league!
There are also many fans of Lin Lei in the media at the scene. Naturally, they know what he means after what he said.
The NBA league led by Stern has many rules and severe penalties. He will never allow players to question the league in public.
Therefore, once Lin Lei said these words, it is very likely that the league would take the lead and punish him with a suspension.
However, Lin Lei didn't seem to think about it at all. Instead, he looked at the camera and repeated what he just said with great seriousness.
"I said, the NBA has to give me a statement or I will refuse to play in any of the next games!
After Lin Lei said this, he ignored the reaction of the media and walked out of the arena.
The media at the scene also looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how to convey this news to the world's audience.
Just at this time, another core of the Lakers - Kobe Bryant also came out of the locker room.
The media seemed to see the new hope and rushed over to surround Kobe Bryant.
"Mr. Kobe, Lin Lei of your team said in an interview just now that if the league doesn't give an answer to this matter, he will withdraw from the next NBA league.
Use this behavior to protest the alliance, what do you think of Lin Lei's behavior?"
"I?"
As a player, he is more willing to put all his attention on basketball.
After all, Kobe Bryant's goal this season is to achieve three consecutive championships, so as to reach the height of Jordan.
But the media at the scene didn't seem to want to let him go, so it was very difficult for Kobe to go out in the end, so he had to stop and watch the media's camera silent for a moment before speaking loudly.
"I support Lin Lei!
"what?"
Although Kobe only said a short sentence, the media at the scene was in an uproar.
Everyone knows Kobe Bryant very well, a man who would do anything for honor.
If Lin Lei withdraws from the game, it will not only affect himself and the NBA, but also cast a shadow on the Lakers' next record.
In this case, why did Kobe choose to support Lin Lei?
Looking at the puzzled people, Kobe said again:
"Basketball is the world sport, but basketball players are not.
When your hometown is in question, you're not a qualified athlete if you don't come forward.
So if it is me, I will do the same, and I support Lin Lei's actions.
Also, Adam Silver is a rubbish, a rubbish who doesn't understand football.
This kind of person openly questioned, and the alliance did not make any statement, which makes people feel very regretful! 35
After Kobe finished expressing his attitude, he directly forced his way through the media, and also walked away.
But the two core words of the Lakers also instantly detonated the world.
As the most influential star in the league, Kobe has fans all over the world. He expressed his attitude and naturally attracted the attention of fans.
And Lin Lei's performance this season is even more perfect, and he has already attracted countless fans in just over 20 games.
The two shared the same opinion, which also made the fans in the middle firmly support Lin Lei and China.
For a while, fishing reels on the Internet also began to show a one-sided trend, pointing to the NBA league and Silver himself.
Seeing this happening, Union President Stern couldn't sit still.
At the same time, dozens of teams in the league seemed to have found an opportunity, and the board of directors threw their opinions into Stern's hands.
During this period of time, Stern did not take a stand because of the board of directors, which did not seem to want the alliance to get involved.
The reason is also very real - the NBA league is a business league.
Now that this matter has become polarized, no matter what views the league expresses, it will offend a large number of fans, which is undoubtedly a great loss.
Even if Stern wanted to kill Adam Silver, he couldn't go against the wishes of dozens of teams.
Seeing that Lin Lei announced his retirement in public, Stern had no idea for a while.
"President, Rockets owner Alexander has sent you a document!
Just then, the secretary came in and put the Rockets owner's documents on the table.
At such a critical moment, there must be something in the document Alexander sent.
So Stern didn't hesitate for a moment and opened the file directly. However, when he let him see the contents of the file clearly, he was also furious, and even tore the file on the spot.
It turned out that what Alexander sent was very true:
The statement announced by Lin Lei has seriously threatened the authority of the NBA.
Therefore, he demanded that the league must be severely punished, and suggested a permanent suspension to demonstrate strictness.
If Stern, the league president, can't show the majesty of the league, the Rockets will join other teams to negotiate with the league, ranging from replacing league managers, or directly withdrawing from the NBA league.
It is not so much a proposal document as it is a blatant threat!!!
For his own selfish interests, Alexander has reached the point where he doesn't even want to face.
He knows very well what is more important in the league's mind than a team and a player.
If Lin Lei is permanently suspended, the Rockets will benefit the most.
After all, there still needs to be a China sign in the league. Without Lin Lei, it can only be Dayao.
As for whether 087 Dayao will renew his contract next season, there are still 60 games left, and everything is still unknown.
If the Rockets really left the league, the 29 teams would obviously be very unbalanced, and it would be difficult to keep the schedule going.
And finding Lin Lei as a player will have a great impact on rectifying the league, but it will never be as serious as missing a team.
Just when Stern made up his mind and felt that Lin Lei should be punished, not only to show the majesty of the alliance, but also to show his strength, another document was conveyed immediately.
The status of this document is far higher than that of the Houston Rockets, because it is the document of the most popular team in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Respected President Stern, the views expressed by my Lakers player Lin Lei are also the most concerning things for the entire team.
I hope the league can attach great importance to it and give a reasonable explanation, otherwise my team will consider the next schedule according to the situation! 39
Although the Lakers document is not too full of words, the content is the same as that of the Rockets.
The Lakers have publicly expressed their support for Lin Lei, and now Stern is completely in a dilemma...
It was late at night, looking at the night outside, but Sturt was not sleepy, but fell into contemplation.
After a long time, he said slowly.
"Lin Lei, Lin Lei, you have brought benefits and troubles to the league. I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to let you join the NBA!"
