"ESPN": "In the battle for four, the Bobcats won the away game with a 'hard'!"
Sports Illustrated: "The away game is 'hard', the Bobcats won two games in hand, and the Eastern Conference four-game ended."
"Charlotte Observer": "Fight! Bobcats win five against eight!"
"Charlotte Daily News": "The black whistle is coming out frequently in key battles, what is the NBA's intention?"
The day after the game ended, the Bobcats had returned to Charlotte.
As the media reported, a victory directly gave the Bobcats two wins ahead of the Cavaliers. With only the last 7 games left in the season, the Cavaliers obviously have no chance to overtake the Bobcats anymore.
Of course, the ending has been decided, and the focus of everyone is not who is fourth or fifth, but how the media evaluates this five-to-eight game.
Looking at the title, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated media of the United States, they did not publicly mention the problem of black whistle and whistle in this game, but they all added a "hard" at the same time.
Fans who didn't watch this game were confused: Hard? It was also difficult to win a game of 13 points?
The fans who watched the game smiled knowingly: How can five-to-eight be difficult?
Speaking of which, there are many black whistles in the NBA, but North American media rarely discuss, question or even criticize publicly. It seems that they maintain a tacit understanding with the league officials.
The local media in Charlotte are not so polite. Observer's newspaper said frankly about the PETA 5, and the Daily News directly questioned the official intentions of the NBA.
There is also Twitter Facebook. Xiao Du misused Facebook and complained, but was discovered by someone, and directly pushed the black whistle to the popularity list.
Some are discussing how crazy the whistle in this game is, while others are discussing why the whistle is so skewed like this. Can the Bobcats still win? Of course, more are discussing Xiao Du's Twitter trumpet.
"Big News, KD Twitter trumpet complained about head coach P.J. Carlesimo: the most popular head coach in the NBA, he actually asked Kevin Durant to play the shooting guard!"
"KD's trumpet boasts, ID praises himself as an omnipotent pitcher, and there are four dynamics, praising himself as the best rookie of this year."
“…”
In New York, David Stern, who rarely works overtime, works from nine to five, went to work. He looked at yesterday's public opinion trends and was stunned.
"What's going on with Adam, Bobcats and the Cavaliers?"
When the phone dialed, David Stern was on fire, and in the earpiece, Adam and Xiao Hua replied: "I don't know..."
Of course he knew that such an answer could not convince Stern, so he could only add:
"It's just a very ordinary regular season game, so I arranged Dick Bavita's main whistle, Dick, you know, he's been blowing for 30 years, who would have thought he would blow like this."
"Dick? He's about to retire. Isn't he eating black spinach again in this game?"
Xiao Hua emphasized Dick Bavita's whistle age, and David Stern immediately misunderstood.
It is no longer a new thing for referees to eat black spinach. Even in the NBA, it is difficult to completely eliminate this possibility. The one in front of us is Tim Donagy, who was sued last year.
Dick Bavita will retire next year and make another profit before retirement. This logic is easy to understand. Even David Stern thinks this is even more likely.
Adam Xiaohua on the other end of the phone was hesitant, David Stern frowned, swept around again, and scanned a report on "Open-Air Stand"-
"Tim Donagy believes that he is a black whistle and is involved in gambling. Coincidentally, LeBron James made 23 free throws in one game, with countless whistleblows. Although he was not allowed to enter the game, the NBA was still surrounded by black whistleblows!"
Stern's face turned dark and he immediately made a decision: "Investigate thoroughly!"
As soon as the phrases were thoroughly investigated, Xiao Hua on the other end of the phone was stunned.
"this……"
After his hesitation, Stern realized something was wrong: "You don't need to investigate the matter, I will ask Stu to investigate."
...
Charlotte, Li Ke, who had just finished the away game, didn't have to participate in the breakfast club and did not have team training, so he slept until eight o'clock.
I got up and washed up, and like David Stern, I enjoyed breakfast while browsing the public opinion after yesterday's war.
ESPN, Sports Illustrated, he could guess that he could not say it bluntly, and he could think of the free speech of Charlotte's local media, but he did not expect that the digital media, which was just established in February this year, was even more courageous than the local media in Charlotte.
"David Stern's hand sticks are so hot. He dared to play like this as soon as the open-air stands was established. Don't you want to be in the NBA?"
This is why Li Ke underestimated the open-air stands. This digital media, which was just established last month but was able to make a name for itself in a short period of time, is obviously not a mediocre person.
The open-air stands are actually a new trick to pick up saliva - ranking.
When there was no report to write, they gave the NBA a fancy ranking. In just over a month since they were established, they have ranked the best 50 players in NBA history, ranking 500 players in NBA active service, top ten point guards in NBA history, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, centers, and re-arrangements in 2008...
Not to mention, just these reports are more popular than the other.
In addition to the hot discussion of the black whistle, Li Ke also made Li Ke laugh. After he knew that Xiao Du's Twitter account was EasymoneySpider, he searched for this account. When he saw those few self-proclaimed news about Xiao Du, he had already done the moment he witnessed Xiao Du's death.
Now, the moment when Xiao Du She died has come.
In addition to Xiao Du, he also saw Lebang's remarks made in an interview after the game.
"We didn't handle the details of this game well, so we lost, which doesn't mean we are a team that is weaker than the Bobcats."
"Yes, yes, the Bobcats are not only our opponent in this game, but also our opponent in the playoffs. This will definitely not be the case in the playoffs."
"We were the Eastern Conference champions last year. No matter what this year, we will have to reach the Eastern Conference Finals as our minimum goal..."
In Li Ke's opinion, Lebang's remarks are the most typical stubborn.
Without the help of the referee, the game between the Bobcats against the Cavaliers was an unquestionable crush.
Although the referee helped, the Bobcats almost crushed the Cavaliers.
Since Lao Ai joined the Bobcats, the three wins of Bobcats against the Cavaliers, Li Ke can summarize the rule that Bobcats can only crush or narrowly win against the Cavaliers. Crushing means that Lebang is completely locked by Li Ke, and the Cavaliers without a second scoring point will have no power to fight back.
The narrow victory was when Lebang scored a long shot, transformed into a meat-fitting Curry, and took the Cavaliers alone to force the Bobcats to the last moment.
But at the last moment, the Bobcats doubled the defense and strangled Lebang to death. The Bobcats must have won the ball, and this is the ending of the narrow victory.
In the apartment training hall, Li Ke started his rest day training under the guidance of Tim Graver. The intensity was not high, and it was purely to keep it in shape.
Boss Qiao also came over and swayed around, and naturally mentioned yesterday's black whistle and today's public opinion.
"The report in the open-air stands is so good, and Allen's response is, but you, Sheldon, you are too cowardly, aren't it just a fine? What are you afraid of? If David Stern dares to fine, no matter how much US dollars it is, it's mine!"
Lao Qiao obviously supports Lao Ai's sarcastic aura of being angrily and speaking out and opposing Li Ke.
His reason is also very convincing: "If we don't make this big deal, the referees who are hit by the playoffs will still stand up and hack us. If you want to stop them, you have to make the big deal at this time and pull out the whistle Dick Bavita as a warning."
In this regard, Li Ke agreed with Boss Qiao, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is indeed what the bobcat needs to do most at this moment.
After all, after 7 regular season games, the Bobcats will fight the Cavaliers for a whole series.
Then, Boss Qiao posted a message on Facebook and Twitter in front of Li Ke: "A game that was almost ruined by a whistle, the guys are very strong. I hope that the playoffs will not change, and the whistle will change..."
Li Ke gave a thumbs up: "It's hard, boss!"
...
On April 8, the Bobcats defeated the Bucks again at home and continued to consolidate their fourth position in the Eastern Conference.
After the game, Ah Lian held Li Ke's hand: "Come on the playoffs, Ke Zai, and strive to meet with Brother Yao in the finals."
Li Ke rolled his eyes: "Even if it's the finals, why don't you wish Brother Yao and I can break through the first round this season."
"Look at you, this is going to be a shady word?"
"What's black?"
"Black me, Brother Yao, cannot break through the first round."
"It's miserable, you discovered it."
After this game, the Black Whistle incident with the help of multiple parties was achieved, and the NBA officially released an announcement:
“From now on, the league’s vice president Adam Silver will no longer be responsible for the affairs of the Discipline Committee, and vice president Stu Jackson will take over.”
Seeing this announcement, Boss Qiao, Li Ke, and the relevant people were all confused. Dick Bavita was fine, but it was Adam Xiao Hua who had the accident???
...
New York, NBA headquarters, Adam and Xiao Hua also died.
The investigation has just begun, and Dick Bavita, who was summoned by Stu Jackson to the headquarters, told the truth in one word:
"It was Adam, he told us the Bobcats against the Cavaliers. The league would rather see the Cavaliers win, because in this way, the suspense of the Eastern Conference's four-game can last until the end of the season..."
Then David Stern was furious because he had never issued such a task before, and he could not have issued such a task.
David Stern has control of the NBA, but there is absolutely no control of a regular season game that is too disastrous. Even if there is, there is a referee who eats black spinach himself, and it has nothing to do with David Stern.
Adam and Xiao Hua were called to David Stern's office. Although the society died, he was still explaining and quibbling:
"That's just a regular season game!"
"Isn't it good to keep the suspense of the 4th in the last game?"
"Popularity, these are all heat..."
David Stern looked disappointed: "Adam, from today on, you won't have to be responsible for the affairs of the Discipline Committee, leave it to Stu."
Although Adam and Xiao Hua later took over as NBA president after an anonymous vote from the NBA board, without David Stern's strong support, he would not have become the only hottest before the vote.
It seems that history has undergone some subtle but far-reaching changes here.
"Adam, you have to remember that fairness is always the most important thing in competitive sports."
...
On April 16, in the final game of the regular season, Allen Iverson returned to Philadelphia.
In the Vachovia Center Arena, the answer opened its arms amid the fanatical cheers.
"This horse-drawn is just like God arranged. In the last game of the regular season, I went back to Philadelphia!"
Lao Ai turned his head and said something to Li Ke with some emotion.
“Allen! Allen!”
“Allen! Allen!”
“…”
The game started amid the neat shouts of the audience. Although he was the old master and in a stadium where he had many beautiful memories, Lao Ai still killed him. From the beginning, he stared at Andre Miller and beat him hard.
Then the 48-minute game played for more than 30 minutes, but scored a game-high 31 points and had another 6 assists.
Lao Shark rested, Li Ke scored 19 points, Hua Lao Er scored 22 points, and AWL without S scored 72 points.
The Bobcats won away, and the regular season ended...
"I hope this is not the end, I hope this is just the beginning, I hope the Bobcats and the Sixers will meet in the playoffs..."
After the game, facing the reporter, Lao Ai expressed his expectations.
And this expectation was put on the big screen above the stadium, and there was another cheer.
Li Ke tilted his head: "The 76ers are the eighth in the East? Then their opponent is the Celtics. As long as they hack the Celtics, they can meet with us."
Hua Lao Er rolled his eyes and hoped that the 76ers would destroy the Celtics, but it would be better to expect the sows to climb trees.
Li Ke touched his chin and thought for a while, and remembered a classic saying: "The Celtics are too strong. I don't expect the 76ers to hack the Celtics, but I hope they can work hard to help us produce something Celtics."
But Hua Lao Er nodded seriously: "This is what we should expect. The Celtics are too strong and they can easily play the record of the league first. Judging from this regular season, they may not have tried their best. If the 76ers can force their trump card, we will be much easier in the semi-finals."
Li Ke threw over a look of you teasing me, and followed his teammates to leave.
...
The regular season came to an end with a away defeat, and the Bobcats had a record of 5 wins and 2 losses in the last seven games of the season.
As a result, their overall record became 51 wins and 31 losses.
The Cavaliers next door shouted that they would never give up and scored 4 wins and 3 losses in the last seven games of the season. Not only did they fail to narrow the gap, but the gap further widened.
With a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, he can only rank fifth in the East by three wins behind the Bobcats.
The Celtics can only be the number one in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses, not only the number one in the Eastern Conference, but also the number one in the league.
Then there are the Pistons with 57 wins and 25 losses, and the Magic with 53 wins and 29 losses.
After that, the Bobcats, Cavaliers, Raptors, Wizards and the 76ers lined up in turn, and the first round of the playoffs was formed.
Celtics vs 76ers, Pistons vs Wizards, Magic vs Raptors, and Bobcats vs Knights.
In the West, the Lakers secured the first place in the West with a direct victory against the Hornets. The Hornets and Spurs had the same record, ranking second and third.
Because the division champion must rank before the non-district champion, excluding the exception of the Hornets and Spurs in the same division and record, the Jazz, whose record is not as good as the Suns, ranked fourth in the West with this move.
This made the Rockets suffer. With 20 consecutive victories, they tied their record with the Suns. They finally reached fifth place, but they met the Jazz again, and the slogan of revenge was already shouting.
After the Rockets, the Suns, the Mavericks and the Nuggets...
The showdown in the West becomes—
Chapter completed!
