At the end of the game, Irving and Waiters were quite frustrated.

One wants to avenge his former shame, and the other wants to be the boss of the team. However, today, they are all defeated by the same person.

The Cavaliers persisted for three quarters, and they mistakenly thought they could create an upset. But the more they played, the more they felt the gap was huge.

Irving looked at the big screen on the scene, then shook his head secretly. The gap between 108 and 95 and 13 points faithfully reflected the strength of the two teams.

Irving scored 30 points and 4 assists, and his performance was not bad. However, Irving's performance in the fourth quarter was as if he had disappeared, but it was difficult for people to praise him.

Under the cheers of Grizzlies fans, Irving entered the player channel. However, as a popular league fan, Irving naturally would not avoid reporters so easily.

At the entrance of the player passage, Irving was still intercepted by a reporter.

"Kelly, can you tell me why you suddenly performed in the last quarter?" The reporter's question was not tricky, it was already a blessing in the misfortune of Irving.

However, this seemingly simple question embarrassed Irving.

"We were completely suppressed by Link, and he ended the game. Unfortunately, we didn't take the victory away. With Link here, I guess it's hard for anyone to take the victory away from the Federal Express Arena."

Irving said, recalling the horror of being dominated by Link in the fourth quarter.

The reporter didn't ask any more questions and just let Irving return to the player channel. He didn't want to make things difficult for Irving anymore, because in Irving's eyes, the reporter saw a lot of fear.

This kid is already pitiful enough.

On the other hand, Link was in a good mood. He not only accepted interviews from most reporters, but also met the requirements of many fans to sign.

After doing this, Link couldn't wait to rush into the locker room and took out his cell phone.

Sure enough, on the front page of the NBA official website, it was not the news that the Grizzlies won, nor was it the remarks that Irving admitted to being defeated by Link.

The front page headline clearly stated a title, "NBA officials strongly condemn Morey's inappropriate remarks and demanded an apology."

The picture is a photo of Grizzlies' home fans dressed in uniform to support Link.

Link happily leaned on the locker, and now the matter was completely resolved.

It was not the first time Morey saw David Stern, but never once was as nervous as he was now.

Although Stern is still the president of the NBA, in fact, everyone knows that Stern is now intending to train Vice President Adam Xiao Hua to take over. Many things in the league are actually handled by Xiao Hua.

Now Stern is not an exaggeration to say that he is an honorary president. He no longer does many things himself.

But this time, Stern flew to Houston and sat in front of Morey. The general manager who was a data analysis background knew that things had become quite serious.

"Darell, you should know what we mean, right?" Stern looked at Morey seriously. In the 1990s and early 21st century, the players were the ones who were hard to control.

Stern really couldn't imagine that now even the general manager with a high level of education has begun to mess up?

"I know, I will accept the punishment, too." Morey nodded slightly, very regretful.

The league's penalty decision was transferred to Morey through the Rockets last night.

First, Morey will be fined $20,000 for his inappropriate remarks.

In an era when stars were only fined several thousand dollars when they fought, the league issued a ticket to Morey that was very heavy.

After the fine, Morey must also hold a press conference to apologize to Link and those who were hurt by his remarks.

Morey should be glad that he has not been suspended yet. But then again, he has not been stopped, and he doesn't know whether this is a good or a bad thing.

After all, Morey's reputation in the NBA has completely broken down. With his current interpersonal relationships, it is really difficult to reach a deal with other teams.

However, even though the punishment was so heavy, Morey accepted it happily in front of Mr. Stern.

Is Morey not afraid? No, this cunning fat man knows that he will suffer a lot.

The reason why he accepted the league's punishment decision so readily was because he knew that he had no way out.

If you don’t accept it, you have to accept it!

NBA care action is a very important part of NBA's closer distance between stars and fans. Stern doesn't care about Morey's original intention of not denying the care action. He only knows that once you make the public think you are like that, you must shut up.

After Stern left, Morey was still sitting in his office blankly.

It’s a good time to speak, but when a person is responsible for an inappropriate speech, he may not be so happy.

On March 9, a day after the game between the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers. Rockets players who seemed to have nothing to do with this game met a large number of reporters outside the training hall.

Today, the Toyota Center was surrounded and uninterrupted!

Harden was stunned. This was probably the most he had ever seen reporters at the Toyota Center.

The purpose of the reporters' trip was not for players, nor for interviews with the Rockets' match against the Suns tomorrow.

These reporters gathered here today for the afternoon press conference.

Everyone knows that the hot-spreading incident between Link and Morey is finally coming to an end.

At 4 pm, the media hospitality room in Toyota Center was overcrowded. If you don’t know, you might think the Rockets had made some big deal.

There were no stars on the stage, no Rockets boss, and no one else. Just Morey sat there alone.

No one will choose to stand with Morey at the level of NBA care action.

Morey looked at the dense reporters below, and his despairy expression had been written on his face.

Those people below are all preparing to take action against themselves!

The press conference is about to begin, and reporters are doing the final equipment debugging.

Morey sat on the stage, waiting for the battle. But at this moment, the cell phone in Morey's pocket rang.

At this time, who will send me a message? Could it be that it was a public relations draft sent by the alliance official?

Morey couldn't wait to turn on his phone, and sure enough, the alliance did not abandon himself!

But the moment the phone screen lights up, Morey is disappointed.

The one who sent the text message was not the League, nor was it the Rockets boss Alexander. Morey was very familiar with the sender's name and number. Because at the beginning, he made this call and asked Link to get out.

Morey couldn't help but tremble slightly as he looked at the text message from Link.

"This is a gift I have given you, Darrell. Of course, I'm glad you weren't fired. Because in this case, I have more opportunities to embarrass you again and again in the future. I believe you can't bear to leave me too."

Looking at the simple words, Morey was so angry that his veins were bulging. He initially opposed Link, not NBA care actions. But Link used his influence to completely skew the building.

To put it bluntly, Morey's current landfall is the result of Link's crazy fanning of the flames.

But there is no way, who made Morey wrong first? Although he was very angry now, he was so angry that he could scold Link Sciky Sabi, and so angry that he could swallow his phone.

But in this room, Morey could only lower his hypocritical head and then whispered to all the reporters.

"I apologize solemnly to Link, to everyone who has been hurt by my inappropriate remarks."
