Chapter 185 Black Whistle's Subsequent Playoffs
"ESPN": "Fourth battle, the Bobcats away 'difficult' to win!"
"Sports Illustrated": "The away game is 'difficult' to win, the Bobcats hold two victories, and the fourth in the Eastern Conference has come to an end."
"Charlotte Observer": "Fight! Bobcats win five-on-eight!"
"Charlotte Daily News": "There are frequent black whistles in key battles, what does the NBA want?"
The Bobcats were back in Charlotte the day after the game.
As the media reported, a victory directly made the Bobcats two games ahead of the Cavaliers. With only the last 7 games left in the season, the Cavaliers obviously have no chance to overtake the Bobcats.
Of course, the ending has already been decided, and the focus of everyone's attention is not who is fourth and who is fifth, but how the media evaluates this five-on-eight match.
Looking at the title, ESPN, Sports Illustrated and other national media did not openly and bluntly mention the problem of the game's black whistle and biased whistle, but just added a "difficult" invariably.
Fans who didn't watch the game were at a loss: Difficult?Is it difficult to win the game by 13 points?
The fans who watched the game smiled knowingly: Five against eight, can it not be difficult?
Speaking of which, there are quite a few black whistlers in the NBA, but the 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 were not so polite. The Observer was blunt, and the Daily News directly questioned the official intentions of the NBA.
There is also Twitter and Facebook. Xiao Du misused Facebook to complain, but was found out on Twitter, which directly pushed this black whistle to the hot list.
Some were discussing how insane the whistle of this game was, and some were discussing why the whistle was all deflected like this, and the Bobcats could still win?Of course, more discussions about Xiao Du's Twitter account.
"Big news, KD twitter trumpet head coach PJ Carlesimo: The worst head coach in the NBA, he actually let Kevin Durant play shooting guard!"
"KD's trumpet boasted, ID boasted that he was an omnipotent and omnipotent pitcher, and there were four dynamics, boasting that he was the best rookie of the year."
"..."
In New York, David Stern, who works from [-] to [-] and rarely works overtime, went to work. He glanced at yesterday's public opinion trends and was stunned.
"Adam, what about the Bobcats and Cavaliers game?"
When the phone was dialed, David Stern was on fire, and on the receiver, Adam Silver replied: "I don't know either..."
Of course he knew that such an answer would not convince Stern, so he could only bite the bullet and add:
"It's just a very ordinary regular season. So, I arranged for Dick Bavetta to be the main whistle. You know Dick. He has been playing for 30 years. Who would have thought that he would play like this."
"Dick? He's retiring soon, is this game eating black spinach again?"
Silver emphasized Dick Bavetta's call time, and David Stern immediately misunderstood it.
It is nothing new for referees to eat black spinach. Even in the NBA, it is difficult to completely rule out this possibility. Tim Donaghy, who was sued last year, is right in front of him.
Dick Bavita will retire next year, and it is easy to understand the logic of making another fortune before retirement. Even David Stern feels that this possibility is even greater.
Adam Silver on the other end of the phone faltered, David Stern on the other side frowned, scanned around again, and found a report from "Bleacherette"——
"Tim Donaghy thinks he is black whistle and involved in gambling. It is no coincidence that LeBron James made 23 free throws in the first battle, and there are countless missed calls. Although spinach is not allowed to enter the game, the NBA is still surrounded by black spinach!"
Stern's face darkened, and he immediately made a decision: "Investigate thoroughly!"
As soon as the phrase of thorough investigation came out, Xiao Hua on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.
"This……"
With his hesitation, Stern realized something was wrong: "You don't need to investigate, I will let Stu investigate."
……
In Charlotte, Li Ke, who just finished the away game, didn't need to participate in the breakfast club or team training, so he slept until eight o'clock.
Get up and wash up, like David Stern, while enjoying breakfast, browse the public opinion after World War I yesterday for a while.
Those from ESPN and Sports Illustrated did not dare to say that he could have guessed it, and the local media in Charlotte could speak freely, but he did not expect that Bleacher, a digital media that was just established in February this year, was actually more daring than the local media in Charlotte.
"David Stern's hands are hot. He dared to play like this when the bleachers were first established. Don't you want to be in the NBA?"
This is why Li Ke underestimated the bleachers. This digital media company, 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 fact that the bleachers are popular is actually due to a new saliva trick - ranking.
When there is no report to write, they give the NBA a fancy ranking. Just over a month after its establishment, they have ranked the top 50 players in NBA history, the top 500 players in NBA history, the top ten point guards in NBA history, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, centers, and the 08 draft rearrangement...
Needless to say, as far as these reports are concerned, one is more popular than the other.
In addition to hotly discussing black whistle, Xiao Du's trumpet incident also made Li Ke laugh badly. After he knew that Xiao Du's Twitter account was called EasymoneySpider, he searched this account.
No, the moment of Xiao Dushe's death has come.
In addition to Xiao Du, he also saw Lebon's remarks in the post-match interview.
"We didn't handle the details of this game well, so we lost. This doesn't mean we are a weaker team than the Bobcats."
"Yes, yes, the Bobcats are not only our opponent in this game, but also our opponent in the playoffs. The playoffs will definitely not be like this."
"We were the champions of the Eastern Conference last year. No matter what this year, we have to reach the Eastern Conference finals as the minimum goal..."
Le Bang's remarks, in Li Ke's view, are the most typical stubbornness.
Without the help of the referee, the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers was undoubtedly a crush.
Although the referees helped, the Bobcats almost crushed the Cavaliers.
Since Lao Ai joined the Bobcats, the Bobcats have won three games against the Cavaliers. The rule that Li Ke can conclude is that the Bobcats can only crush the Cavaliers or narrowly win.
The narrow victory was that Lebron took a long shot, turned into a flesh-clad Curry, and led the Cavaliers by himself to push the Bobcats to the last moment.
But at the last moment, the Bobcats double-teamed the defense and strangled LeBon. The Bobcats must win the game.
In the apartment training hall, Li Ke started training on the rest day under the guidance of Tim Graver. The intensity was not high, and it was purely for maintaining state.
Boss Qiao also came over and walked around, and naturally mentioned yesterday's black whistle and today's public opinion.
"The report from the bleachers is so correct, and so is Aaron's response. But you, Sheldon, you are too cowardly, isn't it just a fine? What are you afraid of? If David Stern dares to fine you, no matter how much the dollar is, it will be mine!"
Old Qiao obviously supports Lao Ai's daring and outspokenness, and opposes Li Ke's eccentricity.
His reason is also very convincing: "If we don't make a big deal out of this, these bitch referees in the playoffs will still stand up and blackmail us. If we want to stop them, we have to make a big deal at this time and get Dick Bavita who is in charge of the whistle, as a warning."
In this regard, Li Ke agrees with Boss Qiao very much. Killing chickens to warn monkeys is indeed what the Bobcats need to do most at this moment.
After all, after seven regular-season games, the Bobcats will have an entire series against the Cavaliers.
Then, in front of Li Ke, Boss Qiao posted a post on Facebook and Twitter: "A game that was almost ruined by the whistle, the boys are very good. I hope the playoffs will be the same, and the whistle will change..."
Li Ke gave a thumbs up: "Tough, boss!"
……
On April 4, the Bobcats beat the Bucks again at home and continued to secure the fourth position in the Eastern Conference.
After the game, Ah Lian shook Li Ke's hand: "Come on in the playoffs, Kezai, and strive to join Brother Yao in the finals."
Li Ke rolled his eyes: "Forget about the finals, you might as well wish Brother Yao and I can break through the first round this season."
"Look at you, isn't this a black word?"
"What's black?"
"Brother Yao won't make it past the first round."
"Too bad, you found out."
After the game, the black whistle incident under the support of multiple parties came to an end, and the NBA officially issued an announcement:
"From now on, Alliance Vice President Adam Silver will no longer be in charge of the Disciplinary Committee, and Vice President Stu Jackson will take over."
Seeing this announcement, Boss Joe, Li Ke, and related people were all stunned. Dick Bavita was fine, and Adam Silver was the one who had the accident? ? ?
……
New York, NBA headquarters, Adam Silver also died.
The investigation had just begun, and Dick Bavita, who was summoned to the headquarters by Stu Jackson, told the truth in one go:
"It was Adam, who told us about the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers. The league wants to see the Cavaliers win, because in that way, the suspense of the Eastern Conference's fourth place can be maintained until the end of the season..."
Then David Stern was furious, because he had never issued such a task, and it was impossible for him to issue such a task.
In David Stern's NBA, there is field control, but there is absolutely no field control in a regular season. Even if there is, there are referees who eat black spinach themselves, and it has nothing to do with David Stern.
Adam Silver was called to David Stern's office. Although he died, he was still explaining and arguing:
"That was just a regular season!"
"Let the suspense of the fourth race be maintained until the last game, isn't it good?"
"Heat, these are all heat..."
David Stern was full of disappointment: "Adam, from today onwards, you will not be in charge of the affairs of the disciplinary committee. Leave it to Stu."
Although Adam Silver later took over the post of NBA president after an anonymous vote by the NBA board of directors, without the support of David Stern, he would not become the only favorite 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 point in competitive sports."
……
On April 4, the last game of the regular season, Allen Iverson returned to Philadelphia.
Wachovia Center Arena, amidst wild cheers, the answer opened its arms.
"This ride is just as arranged by God. In the last game of the regular season, I went back to Philadelphia!"
Lao Ai turned his head, and said to Li Ke with some emotion.
"Allen! Allen!"
"Allen! Allen!"
"..."
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the game started. Even though he was the old owner, and even though he was in a arena where he had many good memories, Lao Ai still made the killer. From the beginning, he stared at Andre Miller and beat him hard.
Then it was a 48-minute game that lasted just over 30 minutes, but scored a game-high 31 points and 6 assists.
The old shark took a break, Li Ke scored 19 points, Hua Laoer scored 22 points, and AWL scored 72 points without the S combination.
On the road, the Bobcats win, and the regular season ends...
"I hope this is not the end, I hope this is just the beginning, I hope the Bobcats and 76ers can meet in the playoffs..."
After the game, facing reporters, Lao Ai expressed his expectations.
And this expectation was projected on the big screen above the arena, and there was another round of cheers.
Li Ke tilted his head: "The 76ers are the eighth in the Eastern Conference? Then their opponent is the Celtics. As long as they hack the Celtics, they can meet us."
The second Hua rolled his eyes, expecting the 76ers to hack the Celtics, it would be better to expect a sow to climb a tree.
Li Ke rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, then remembered a classic: "The Celtics are too strong. I don't expect the 76ers to be able to hack the Celtics, but I hope they can work hard to help us play something like the Celtics."
Unexpectedly, Hua No. 76 nodded seriously: "This is what we should look forward to. The Celtics are too strong. They just played the first record in the league casually. Looking at this regular season, they may not have used their strength. If the [-]ers can force out their cards, we will have a lot of fun in the semifinals."
Li Ke threw a look that you're fucking teasing me, and followed his teammates to leave.
……
Defeating the 76ers in an away game, the regular season came to an end. In the last 7 games of the season, the Bobcats had a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.
As a result, their overall record became 51 wins and 31 losses.
The Cavaliers next door shouted never to give up. They had a record of 7 wins and 4 losses in the last 3 games of the season. Not only did they fail to narrow the gap, but the gap was further widened.
With a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, 3 games behind the Bobcats, they can only be ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.
The number one in the East can only be the Celtics, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses, not only the number one in the East, but also the number one in the league.
Then came 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 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 Cavaliers.
In the west, the Lakers secured the first place in the west by virtue of their direct victory over the Hornets. The Hornets and the Spurs have the same record, ranking second and third.
Because the division champion must be ranked before the non-division champion, excluding the exception of the Hornets and Spurs with the same record in the same division, the Jazz, whose record is not as good as the Suns, relied on this hand to rank fourth in the West.
This is a pain for the Rockets. Relying on 20 consecutive victories, they evened the record with the Suns, and finally managed to reach fifth place. In the end, they faced the Jazz again, and the slogan of revenge has already been shouted out.
After the Rockets, they are the Suns, the Mavericks and the Nuggets...
The matchup in the West becomes—
Lakers vs Nuggets, Hornets vs Mavericks, Spurs vs Suns, and Rockets vs Jazz.
