Chapter 642 Dirty Deal!

"Win the game!"

Nearly 20,000 fans at the Staples Center cheered in unison, and the entire venue seemed to be shaking.

Du Sheng nodded with satisfaction and then lay back on the stretcher.

After entering the passage, he suddenly remembered that there was a live broadcast on Yangshi today, and many people must have seen the conflict scene just now.

When I returned to the locker room, my phone was ringing non-stop.

At the same time, at the game scene, the referee made a decision.

Stoudemire was ejected from the game for a flagrant foul.

This may be the heaviest penalty Stoudemire has received for an elbow in his career.

Some people even joked that the league's tolerance for Stoudemire's elbows is comparable to its exemption for Mutombo's finger-wagging.

Similarly, Du Sheng was also sentenced to leave the field.

"How dare you, you bastard?"

Yao Ming, who was recuperating at home, was also watching the live broadcast.

When he saw Stoudemire elbowing Du Sheng on the back of the head from behind, causing Du Sheng to fall to the ground, he became extremely angry.

Du Sheng was invited by him to perform, and he couldn't afford it if he got injured.

Not to mention that Stadler is so arrogant, anyone who sees it will get angry.

But before he could call his agent to complain, he saw Stoudemire being knocked down by three punches and two kicks.

Especially when Yao Ming saw Du Sheng riding on Stoudemire with all his strength and vigor and beating him wildly, he was stunned.

'It seems that the injured one is Stoudemire, and he is still unconscious?'

Yao Ming suddenly felt a strange feeling about the routine.

Especially when I saw the scene of Stadler covered in blood, I felt inexplicably happy in my heart.

At the same time, many NBA stars also watched the live broadcast.

"Look! ABC is broadcasting this game!"

Someone shouted, pointing at the TV on the wall.

Kobe and others looked up and saw that the fierce conflict scene was playing on the screen.

"How despicable! Such a person really doesn't deserve to win the championship!"

When he saw Stoudemire elbow Du Sheng on the back of the head, Brian shook his head and sighed.

'Big Shark' O'Neal stared at the screen and murmured:

“This Asian boy is indeed a tough guy!

It seems that not all yellow people are weak, at least they are much more powerful than Yao Ming."

When Du Sheng kicked Stoudemire with his last kick, his expression froze instantly and his face twitched several times.

"This kid really doesn't want to suffer any loss at all!"

He couldn't help but think of the grudge between himself and Yao Ming, and felt a little scared.

In the end, the score was fixed at 83:98.

The second team won the game by 15 points.

At this time, Du Sheng had just completed the inspection.

The coach received the call and was relieved to learn that Du Sheng was not seriously injured.

"Coach, we have blocked the information about Du Sheng's injury.

We can take this opportunity to do something. We must not let the little bully off easily. We must at least make the Suns team suffer a heavy blow!"

The teaching assistant reminded solemnly.

"I see."

FireFry coach Jeff Van Gundy nodded thoughtfully.

“This is blatant crime!
Stoudemire is murder!

He attacked Du from behind, trying to kill him...

Thank God Durant is still alive, otherwise it would be a disaster for the NBA..."

Then, in the post-game press conference, Jeff Van Gundy made an emotional accusation:
"We must never tolerate such behavior again. This is a disregard for the lives of players!"

"NONONO, Du's behavior is even worse..."

Suns coach D'Antoni immediately retorted.

Van Gundy looked at him in shock, his tone full of anger:
"You are a senior coach, how can you allow your players to commit murderous acts on the court?

Du was just fighting back passively, and he was almost killed by Stoudemire!
Besides, this is just an exhibition game. Not only did Stoudemire mess up the league schedule, he also violated the rules and committed a crime! "

D'Antoni opened his mouth, but found that his rebuttal words were a little pale, and cursed in his heart:

'Stoudemire, this idiot who always causes trouble, must not be kept next season!'

At the same time, the North American media has begun to hype up this violent conflict on the court.

[Racial discrimination, the most brutal elbow strike in history! ]

The Los Angeles Express used this as a headline, slamming not only the Suns and Stoudemire, but also the league officials:

"It is the indulgence over the years that has allowed some players to become so unscrupulous..."

[Is this a celebrity exhibition match or a murder match? ]

Newspapers and television stations owned by the Hearst Group also reported the incident with similar headlines.

As one of the largest media in the world, it has a very wide influence.

Especially after the Hearst sisters' complaints, many North American media have joined this public opinion war.

The criticism was directed at Stoudemire, the Suns and league officials.

This unified public opinion orientation is not based on moral conscience, but is driven by interests!

Attacking Stoudemire could attract more fans' attention, thereby increasing newspaper sales.

The smarter ones even took advantage of Du Sheng's fans and the popularity of his upcoming duel with Tyson.

Of course, there are also a few media outlets that focus their firepower on Du Sheng.

They blasted him for being a world boxing champion and actually killing ordinary people.

The Arizona media was particularly vocal about this.

However, these media have limited influence in the beacon country and were soon drowned out by the overwhelming wave of criticism.

Many stars who had been elbowed by Stoudemire also spoke out.

The most eye-catching among them is Aldridge, who once had a fight with Stoudemire.

He was furious during the interview and even swore:
"FUCK! This guy is a scumbag, a total murderer!

This time I finally got my retribution. I want to thank Du, an outsider. He is the incarnation of God..."

Barkley said in an interview:
“Although I don’t like fancy exhibition games, I have to admit that Du did the right thing this time.

Someone must stand up to stop bullying on the field, otherwise the deaths and injuries of the 90s will reappear..."

Yao Ming also accepted the interview and clearly expressed his views:

"I don't know if this is racist or not, but I think the league should take stricter penalties for these flagrant fouls..."

At this time, Stoudemire had just woken up. He had been in a coma for a full 12 hours.

The hospital's diagnosis:
The left arm was fractured in four places, the jaw and nose bones were shattered, and the bony support in the mouth was broken...

Although these external injuries were serious, what was truly fatal was the consequences of Du Sheng's final kick.

Skull fracture, cerebrospinal fluid leak and impaired consciousness.

In addition, there were two bone fractures in the area of ​​the chest where the elbow hit.

This is the result of Du Sheng taking his time, otherwise he would have been knocked out with one punch.

Doctors estimate that he will need to rest for at least 2 months.

In order to prevent Stoudemire from losing control of his emotions, the Suns management specifically asked the doctor to inject him with a sedative.

However, the sedative did not seem to work, and Stadler was still extremely excited.

"He wants to kill me! He just wants to kill me! Look at my face, he just wants to put me to death..."

Stoudemire yelled at D'Antoni and management.

"Little bully, be quiet!"

D'Antoni was helpless and advised:
"Your elbow had a huge impact and now the team is under pressure.

We must put an end to the storm of public opinion as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be the only one to be blamed."

"D'Antoni, do you want me to be a wimp?"

Stoudemire asked angrily.

"Little Overlord, don't you know that people are condemning you online and offline now?
That elbow strike of yours was meant to kill someone!

This kind of action would be banned even in a fighting ring.

The alliance is under tremendous pressure this time, and things will never go away as easily as before."

D'Antoni's eyes darkened and he spoke with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"What can the alliance do to me? Are they going to put a steel cage around a patient like me?"

Stoudemire pulled at the cable of the monitoring device on his neck, and his bulging veins throbbed under the medical tape.

The blue light-proof glass of the VIP ward reflected his distorted face:

"That sinister bastard named Du! Once I tear apart this broken plaster, I'll slap the life and death certificate of the octagonal cage in his face!"

The ECG monitor beeped rapidly. D'Antoni stared at the roller coaster-like waveform on the screen and swallowed back the advice that was on the tip of his tongue.

He quietly rang the nurse's bell, intending to ask the anesthesiologist to prepare some more strong medicine.

"Look at this."

The teaching assistant threw a stack of New York Times copies onto the sterile sheets, the ink glowing coldly in the morning light:
“Now it’s not just ESPN that’s swearing, even The Wall Street Journal is lecturing you on how to behave.

You know what words they used? 'Stadium thugs,' 'Shame on the NBA!'"

Stoudemire grabbed his tablet and opened Twitter, and the top five trending searches were filled with the scarlet term #小霸王退赛#.

The long article, which was simultaneously pushed out by twenty-three media outlets under Hearst Media, was eroding his commercial value at a rate of 10,000 revolutions per minute.

When he saw that the sports drink advertisement he endorsed was urgently removed, he punched the infusion stand in anger, making it clang loudly.

"It was those media sisters who did this!"

His forehead was grim and blood was seeping out. The medicine from the pain pump was throbbing along his veins:

"Du Sheng definitely has a dirty deal with the Hearst family!"

D'Antoni straightened the ECG probe that had been shaken crooked, his tone revealing exhaustion:

"Now the National Parents Association is going to sue you for endangering the mental health of teenagers, and the state legislature is discussing a bill to criminalize violence on the court.
If you keep making trouble, you will have to go to the street court to make a living, let alone renew your contract with a maximum salary."

The ward suddenly fell into silence, with only the slight hum of the central air conditioner.

Stoudemire stared at the ceiling, as if he saw the scene of his players being stuck at the auction house and failing to sell.

At the same time, the circular conference hall on the top floor of the NBA headquarters building was shrouded in low pressure.

President Stern stroked the emergency plan on the walnut table, with two dark circles under his eyes.

Twelve curved screens scrolled global public opinion data in real time, and red alerts flashed simultaneously on five continents.

"The conflict started with shoving and shoving in the tunnel and racial abuse."

Vice President Prova called up the 360-degree panoramic video, and the action of Stoudemire giving Du Sheng the middle finger was analyzed frame by frame:

"But the most crucial thing is the video of Du Sheng being elbowed in the back of the head by Stoudemire at 7:22 in the third quarter while shooting in the air. It has spread all over the Internet."

He pressed the pause button, and the close-up shot of a textbook Muay Thai elbow strike made the executives present collectively gasp.

If Du Sheng hadn't been a martial artist, he would have collapsed and passed out in a matter of minutes.

Once these black players in the league fall into a rage, they rarely lose their rationality.

In fact, Yao Ming is a future seed that the league collectively favors, and is even more optimistic about his value in Asia, but he is still treated coldly by many NBA players.

Stoudemire is just the most radical of them.

To put it bluntly, racial discrimination is omnipresent in North America.

Stern took off his tortoise-shell glasses and wiped them, and the lenses reflected the Jordan poster on the wall:
"Tell me how to deal with this."

Although he was asking, the coldness in his words was understandable to everyone.

Just as he took drastic measures to introduce the Dream Team and severely punish violent incidents ten years ago, there will be no less severe measures this time.

"The California Department of Justice has asked us to give an explanation within 24 hours."

The security chief called up the holographic projection:

"Lawmakers from seven major basketball states, including New York and Texas, are drafting a joint letter. ESPN ratings plummeted by 12 percentage points."

Suddenly, a harsh notification sound came from the legal director's tablet.

He looked up with a grim face:

"Walmart removed all Stoudemire co-branded products from its shelves, and Reebok announced it would review endorsement contracts."

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the voices of protesting fans penetrated the bulletproof glass.

Stern stood up and straightened the lapels of his Armani suit. The clock on the wall indicated the time of the press conference.

Three hours later, the giant screen in Times Square broadcast the historic scene live.

Facing 300 cameras, Stern pushed the penalty decision in front of the camera:

"The league remains consistent in its commitment to combating the bad apples of on-court overstrain behavior."

He paused deliberately, letting the shutter sound swallow up the second half of the sentence.

In the end, Stoudemire received the largest fine in history.

When the words "100 million fine + 50-game suspension" exploded on social networks, the bulletproof glass of a private hospital in Manhattan shattered.

"Du, you bastard! I won't let you go..."

Stoudemire tore through the heart-rate monitor cable, and the blood-stained bandages burst open in a rage.

Little did he know that the internal force Du Sheng had left in his occipital artery was quietly counting down like a time bomb.

"Ah Sheng, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble this time."

Out of apology, Yao Ming called Du Sheng again today.

He really didn't know that a regular celebrity game would cause such a big dispute.

Today, most of the basketball-related bulletins in the Lighthouse Country, and even popular entertainment media, almost all reported on this "court fatigue" incident.

And I don’t know if it’s to attract attention, but many reports mentioned the word racial discrimination.

Thanks to this, many black stars have come under pressure and have become more restrained.

Although Yao Ming felt a little amused, he also had to sigh that Du Sheng was wrong this time.

Because Du Sheng defeated Stoudemire very easily last night, many people who don't pay attention to boxing saw how powerful he is.

This is more shocking and direct than the reputation brought by empty bragging.

In addition, this overwhelming popularity also indirectly benefited Yao Ming.

Not to mention that the other party also helped him deal with the hostile elements.

So he felt a little embarrassed, and that's why he made this phone call.

"Haha, what's the trouble? You just need to recover as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to see you win the championship."

Du Sheng, who found an excuse to leave the hospital, was in a good mood at the moment and exchanged a few words with him.

Apart from anything else, the reputation value brought by this incident alone is as high as 29.

If we take into account the extensive coverage by the international media, the invisible reputation and exposure will be immeasurable.

As long as his "ultimate duel" with Tyson can sustain this wave of popularity, he might even become a top-tier star internationally.

Therefore, Du Sheng is still very grateful to Stoudemire.

It would be even better if the other party could stir up some more trouble and keep the trending search.
