Chapter 843 The so-called alliance card

Time slowly entered late October, and "The Dark Knight Rises", which had been in preparation for many months, finally started filming at Fox Studios in Los Angeles.

However, before filming began, Gilbert Jr. took the leading actors Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway to the Seattle Thunder home court to watch the opening game of the new season.

The opening game is between the Thunder and the Heat, and the league also understands traffic very well.

As expected, the appearance of Gilbert Jr. did not have much impact on the finals. The Heat lost the finals because of the eight points of the team's internal release and the power of Nowitzki.

After losing the finals, the Heat's Big Three were questioned.

So they made a comeback in the new season and continued to fight for the championship.

But in the first half of the game, Kevin Durant made 7 consecutive mid-range shots, Stephen Curry made 5 of three-pointers from the outside, and Westbrook's impact defeated the Heat.

Midfielder Gilbert also accepted an interview with reporters and praised the team's performance.

"I am very satisfied with the team's performance. We played very well as a team and in a united manner. Our goal this season is to reach the finals and bring a championship to the Thunder."

The fans at the scene naturally cheered warmly. It is also a good thing for the fans that the team owner cares so much about the team.

The key is that Gilbert Jr. is the kind of boss who doesn't care about anything. He believes that professionals should do professional things, which allows the team to run quite smoothly.

Of course, wise decisions will be made at critical moments to select the future for the team.

Now it seems that the Thunder's three young players, or even four or five young players, have a bright future and can make it to the finals this year.

Just as the fans were imagining a bright future, the situation suddenly changed in the second half and the referee began to manipulate the game.

First, Westbrook was called for an offensive foul when he attacked the paint, and then the referee turned a blind eye to a handball foul. On the Heat side, LeBron James started the eight-step mode.

He made a 2+1 with various awkward breakthroughs and layups, but the referee didn't even make any comment.

The Thunder coach couldn't sit still anymore and kept protesting to the referee, but what he got in return was a more fierce counterattack from the Heat.

Needless to say, this is another case of the league forcibly manipulating the results of the game. As a traffic-heavy team, the league doesn't want the Heat to lose too badly, otherwise their reputation will not be established.

So, amid the boos of the fans, LeBron James made a traveling shot and scored the winning goal, which made the Thunder suffer a black start.

As the team owner, Gilbert Jr. is able to control himself.

But Christian Bale, who was standing next to him, was indignant: "This is a shady deal, a naked shady deal."

Even though she doesn't understand basketball, Anne Hathaway still feels it's unfair: "We should firmly protest this game. It's unfair to the team."

Gilbert Jr. was still in the mood to joke: "Fortunately, the league didn't do this in the finals, that would be terrible!"

Having said that, Gilbert Jr., who was treated so unfairly, still expressed strong dissatisfaction on social media after the game.

"I would like to ask the NBA, when can traveling become a skill and not be called?
I would like to ask, is there anyone in history who can take eight steps to layup and not only not violate the rules but also score 2+1? "

There is no doubt that this is a very serious question. For a time, the managers and head coaches of other teams, who were already dissatisfied with the league's biased penalty standards, expressed their doubts.

Faced with the public relations crisis, the NBA immediately formed an investigation team, which concluded that LeBron James did have several traveling calls missed.

However, the referee team believes that even with those penalties, it will not affect the outcome of the game.

Gilbert Jr. questioned the actions of the league and the refereeing staff and immediately received a fine of $25,000 from the league.

Gilbert was immediately furious. I was just reminding you guys not to go too far. Not only did you not take it seriously, you even gave me a ticket?

You ungrateful animal!
LeBron James added fuel to the fire, seemingly not afraid of offending Gilbert Jr. "Winning is winning, losers should not make excuses, but reflect on why they failed."

As expected, LeBron James completely angered the largest and most terrifying group in the world, that is, Gilbert's fans.

Although James fans tried their best to resist, the large number of fans quickly occupied LeBron James' social media platform.

Those fans who know basketball well even set up a forum and posted all the negative information about LeBron James on the forum.

For example, he was shaved bald by the Spurs, swept by the peak Warcraft Gentleman, and was the first player in the league to release his military power by eight points in the finals last season. And the past that LeBron James is most reluctant to mention is the story of his teammate having an affair with his mother.

This story in particular was written into a pornographic novel and has gone through various versions and spread everywhere.

These negative news were flying everywhere, bringing LeBron James' image to the lowest point, comparable to Kobe Bryant during the Eagle County incident.

It was not until this time that LeBron James realized that his so-called media hegemony was nothing in front of media tycoons like Gilbert Jr.

He didn't even do anything, but the fans attacked him and made him angry.

LeBron James angrily said on social media: "You don't respect me at all. I don't get the respect I deserve."

Then a fan mocked: "Respect, for a guy who can't win a championship with the help of the league or the referees, what respect do you want to talk about?"

LeBron James is broken. What kind of people are these? This is not how it should be.

In view of the escalating turmoil, in order to maintain the league's reputation, the NBA once again issued a fine of $100,000 to Gilbert Jr.

The reason is that he maliciously smeared and attacked the alliance, damaging the alliance's image.

Little Gilbert was even more angry. What kind of alliance card is this? He is so ugly and his skills are so crude. He is also an alliance card?

However, the first person to react to this incident was not Gilbert Jr., but NFL Commissioner Doug Waltz.

He said in an interview: "When Gilbert Jr. wanted to buy a basketball team, I advised him not to be impulsive.

Because the NBA has lost the essence of competitive sports spirit and has become an entertainment project.

He might as well join the NFL. It would be a beautiful sight if his team appeared at the Super Bowl along with the movie commercials."

After Doug Waltz, Major League Baseball and Major League Hockey have expressed their welcome for Gilbert Jr. to join.

The NBA was originally competing with the other three major sports leagues for the market, and this wave of crisis directly caused panic in the NBA. They probably didn't expect that Gilbert Jr., who was just a team owner, would have such a great influence.

In fact, this is because the NBA is not clear-headed. If it were just an ordinary team owner, there would be nothing wrong.

But this is Little Gilbert, Little Gilbert who is said to have six billion fans around the world. His every move is highly regarded by the audience, and many Hollywood super-stars are not as influential as him.

For a person like this, anything he posts would be an earthquake-level performance.

So before Gilbert Jr. could say anything, the NBA quickly knelt down and not only withdrew the fine, but also suspended the referee team of that game for a season to calm Gilbert Jr.'s anger.

David Stern, who has not yet retired, had to call Gilbert Jr. personally to explain that everything was handled by the league's vice president Adam Silver and he was not aware of it.

Gilbert Jr. said without further ado: "Let Adam Silver resign. I don't want to see Adam Silver as the league president after this season."

David Stern on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and had to agree to Gilbert Jr.

"As you wish, little Gilbert." (End of this chapter)
