Chapter 104 The Real Heavy Penalty(2/2)
"The Celtics are punished for all home games in the playoffs this season, all of which will be played in empty games."
"The fine has been increased from the previous $500,000 to $5 million. It should be mentioned that the amount of this fine is the highest in the history of the league!"
"In addition, collect videos of this game and strictly check every fan who watches the game on the spot. The time limit is one month. All fans involved in racial discrimination will be found and all fans are punished with a lifelong ban."
"Finally, a new rule was issued. In the regular season next season, the referee team will add a fourth official, whose responsibility is to supervise the arena, and the focus is to eliminate all racial discrimination."
“…”
Adam Xiaohua shut his mouth honestly and even nodded, looking very much like Mr. Si.
But he didn't know that Mr. Si had put an end to his NBA career.
Speaking of which, when Xiao Hua targeted Li Ke several times before, Mr. Si didn't think anything was wrong, but he just thought that Xiao Hua still needed training.
But now, Mr. Si already believes that Xiao Huaru is not taught.
When this incident first broke out, Xiao Hua even proposed that the alliance should punish Li Ke.
Thinking about it now, if the alliance really punished Li Ke, the market across the ocean would be basically over.
From 1989 to 2008, nearly 20 years ago, David Stern allowed the NBA to enter that market. Of course, he knew how precious that market was.
But Xiao Hua almost ruined the market, which made Stern think more about it. If Xiao Hua succeeds in the future...
After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
This successor must not be Xiao Hua!
"Okay, that's all for the conference call, Stu, don't hang up your phone first."
Others hung up the phone one after another, and David Stern explained to Stu Jackson, who is now in charge of the Discipline Committee, and even mentioned:
"If I remember correctly, Sheldon Lee has performed very well this season. As a rookie, he averaged 20 per game, Stu, what do you think of his future?"
“Unlimited.”
"Then next season, let him get some of the benefits he deserves like Kevin Durant..."
...
The next morning, Li Ke was stunned when he woke up.
The first thing he saw was of course the heavy punishment from the NBA.
All the Celtics playoffs are empty? A heavy fine of $5 million? It will take another month to track down the racist slander in the last game?
There is even a new rule, and the referee team will add a fourth official!
Li Ke touched his chin: OK, now he is a person who forces the alliance to modify the rules! It is not a negative thing to be on the horse, how dare you believe it?
Of course he couldn't understand such a heavy punishment.
He didn't think it was all empty in the playoffs.
With his current "lofty ambition", the Celtics only have the last three games left at most.
It would be a great deal to fine 5 million US dollars. You should know that the heaviest ticket in the league's history was issued to the Timberwolves. Joe Smith's Yin-Yang contract incident, the league fined the Timberwolves a total of 3.5 million US dollars!
The 5 million US dollars fine is enough to show the sincerity of NBA.
With three empty games and careful calculations, the Celtics' losses have reached more than 20 million US dollars.
The subsequent investigation and the addition of a fourth official in the referee team is more like a move to solve the essence of the problem.
So, why did NBA take such a heavy hand?
Soon, he saw the reason.
"So many big moves are over? It's a bit like a certain Thunder incident, but David Stern is not Adam Xiao Hua, he knows the importance of it..."
To be honest, Li Ke's heart was warm. He knew that if he hadn't ended up with these big tricks, NBA wouldn't have taken such a heavy move at all.
Chapter completed!
