This Forward Is Not Serious
/ This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 257
"David, they said everything is ready and it's too late to cancel."
After finishing the call, Xiao Hua came back and gave Stern a reply.
Stern pressed his forehead angrily.
This James, why is he so naive this time!
After Xiao Hua left, he did another thing.
He directly contacted Skippa of ESPN, who was in charge of the live show, and asked the latter to cancel the show.
Obviously, what he asked Xiao Hua to do was only part of it. As the leader of the alliance, he has his own unique channel.
This was a conversation that lasted more than twenty minutes, and the final result was that Stern was persuaded by Skippa.
"You have done too much on ESPN, and the media shouldn't have that much power."
This is Stern's attitude from the beginning.
In addition to the players and the bosses, the power struggle between the league and the media is also very tense.
Like James has used it more than once, or cooperated with the media to fight for his own interests.
"We estimate that 10 million people will watch this live broadcast, and 10 million people will watch the live broadcast of your league players. What is this concept, David?"
It was this sentence that made Stern finally compromise.
There is more than just basketball in sports, and even basketball has a small market share in North America compared to rugby.
This is indeed a very good promotion opportunity.
Then, there are overwhelming predictions.
ESPN began to release the exact news that various fans have been speculating for a long time.
James, Wade and Bosh will go to the same team, so this time the "decision" is not just for James, but for the Big Three.
This time, it is not only the NBA, but the entire sports circle.
Even, there are certain rumors that have begun to rule out the team.
The Cavaliers are the first to get out.
According to ESPN insiders, it is also a very heartbreaking news.
If James decides to stay, why did he make such a decision with great fanfare?
Of course, although the Cavaliers fans are speechless, they certainly don't believe it.
What if James was to surprise them?
followed the Clippers also out.
This time is the news released by the Clippers management.
They already knew that James would not come to Los Angeles.
Of course, the same is true, and Clippers fans are not willing to believe this result.
This may be their only chance to comeback against the Lakers. Even if it is bad news, they have to hold on to the last minute.
But now, James's next home seems to have been narrowed to between the Heat, Nets, Bulls and Knicks.
And now, the Knicks are the most likely place.
US local time on July 8th, ESPN program live broadcast day, national attention.
ESPN will spend an hour livestreaming James and the final decision.
In the cities where the 6 teams have met, or outside the arena, or in the bar, a large number of fans have gathered at the same time.
They are all looking forward to the arrival of James to save their team.
Outside the ESPN live broadcast building, a large number of fans gathered. They held up signs like "LeBron, come to the Nets", and many even wore James jerseys with modified team logos.
The police have dispatched a large number of police cars to maintain order.
Apart from anything else, this operation is really unprecedented.
In Sanya, Kobe, Durant, Lin Ying and Grover were sitting in front of the TV early in the morning and preparing to watch the live broadcast.
"Why am I watching this kind of thing?"
Kobe frowned, but his eyes never left the TV.
Obviously, he thinks James's operation is very boring.
"Then you go and practice for a while, let's watch it first."
Lin Ying suggested.
"It should be coming soon, too."
Kobe's subsequent reaction surprised Lin Ying, and then couldn't help laughing.
Who is not just a curious cat?
In fact, he also thinks that James's decision, which is the same as in history, is very boring, but he is also very curious if he can't stand it.
Will James go to the Heat like in history?
I still said I would go to another team.
If it's the former, it's actually fine.
But if it is a consequence, it is really exciting.
And this show is really boring.
There were dozens of people sitting down the stage, and one accident was that there was a well-known singer Kanye West in it.
Then a reporter named Gray sat face-to-face on a small table with James, and then began to ask some irrelevant questions.
It's similar to what you did this summer, how many people know your results, and whose opinions have you listened to?
An appetite in the true sense!
But it's very interesting that the live broadcast will show the number of real-time viewers in the lower right corner, which has broken through 10 million in just a while.
Then on such a boring topic, they actually talked for almost an hour!
This special can be done in five minutes at most!
What's even more boring is that Lin Ying and the others just sat and watched for an hour.
Of course, it's not just a few of them who are bored. There are a lot of people in North America waiting like this.
"So LeBron, what is your decision?"
Gray finally asked the last question.
James finally announced his decision after a long time.
"I will bring my talent to the East Coast, I will join..."
Of course, he still used the necessary pause.
"New York Knicks."
Knicks!
"Fuck!"
Lin Ying's line of frustration instantly attracted the attention of Durant and Kobe.
Isn't it the news before that James is most likely to go to the Knicks? How could Lin Ying react so much?
"I want to be quiet."
Lin Ying said as she walked out of the arena to breathe a sigh of relief and let go of the water.
The reaction is big? How could it not be big!
James is going to the Knicks!
This is so different from history, hello!
What happened in the middle!
Lin Ying definitely couldn't guess what happened.
But I just finished talking with Kobe about the opponent's problem of getting stronger, now it is definitely getting stronger.
Apart from anything else, the Knicks now have two first-rate forwards, one is Wilson Chandler, the other is Danilo Gallinari, and the two averaged 15+ per game last season!
These two people are still rookie contracts!
The Knicks are very maneuverable.
And speaking of history, this is also the case. The Knicks are the most likely next home, but in the end James went to the Heat.
But it's different now!
Waiting to return to the arena, the TV show is not over yet.
It's time for ESPN to cut the reaction of fans everywhere.
At this time, it happened to be showing the picture of Cleveland fans burning their jerseys.
啧, although I didn't go to the same place, some things that should have appeared did not fall.
And with the effort to release the water just now, he also felt that even if he went to the Knicks team to add two people to the Big Three, there should be internal problems.
and James must be paired with fully functional role players, Chandler and Gallinari may not be able to play the same period in history.
Therefore, there is still a chance to play the Knicks.
"Lin, I suddenly thought of something."
At this moment, Durant put down his phone and looked at Lin Ying with a stern smile.
"what?"
What is Durant's expression? It's weird.
"Anthony doesn't seem to be able to go to New York!"
"install……"
Fuck?
Seems to be so!
James took Anthony's way, leaving Anthony nowhere to go?
Or to put it another way, James NTR Anthony?
Yes, something!
Don't guess, Anthony thinks his lungs will explode right now.
After all, it was his life's enemy who had driven him away!
As for Anthony and James teaming up together, that is unrealistic.
If Anthony wanted to have this idea, he signed a one-year contract with James and the others.
And ESPN has given definite news, James, Wade and Bosh will play together.
James and Wade are close, they must be everything, Bosh joined later.
If Bosh is replaced by Anthony, it is actually impossible to play. It is not a game but a grab.
So now a more curious thing is coming, Anthony was robbed of the way to the Knicks by James, where would he go?
New York.
Anthony was mad, he really missed the table!
He still chatted with James yesterday, one by one brother, James said he was going to follow Wade to the Bulls.
result!
This operation is really tough!
He felt that he was really going to vomit blood!
James, how dare you!
At this moment, Anthony has crossed James off his list of brothers.
If you meet at the end, you are the enemy!
was getting angry, the phone rang.
Pick it up and take a look, good fellow, James came here!
He picked it up angrily.
"Sorry brother, I only made the decision this morning when I got up. I didn't know how to tell you before that, but now I want to say sorry to you. This decision is very difficult for me, but you will always be my brother. ..."
hung up the phone, Anthony's whole expression was numb.
Because he is still very angry, but suddenly doesn't seem to know who to be angry with.
numb!
James' decision caused an uproar in the league.
And beyond the intention of ESPN and the James team, its negative impact is much greater than expected.
Almost overnight, James' image collapsed.
The curse is endless.
The Cavaliers fans reacted the most.
In addition to burning James jerseys, even a large number of fans have even surrounded James' mansion in Cleveland.
Team owner Gilbert even published an open letter to Cavaliers fans, cursing James as a traitor, and cursing James and the Knicks for never winning the championship.
And it turns out that Stern's intuition is really high, and this kind of thing is simply not suitable for live broadcast.
Except for the thrill of the live broadcast, it was all negative afterwards.
Those teams whose appetites have been stolen will not get anything in the end and will not be satisfied.
And other fans who watched the show also felt that James was performing poorly.
So it can be said that except for the New York fans who are reveling, they are basically not satisfied.
In contrast, Wade and Bosh, who have also left, did not receive much criticism.
This decision is considered a farce through and through.
Of course, this is temporary.
Competitive sports, strength speaks.
If James can lead the Knicks to the final championship.
Then all these negative news are not so important in relative terms.
Just after James made the "decision", the entire free market began to function again, and most of the players' signings were settled.
The Bulls quickly signed Boozer with a five-year, 80 million contract.
In terms of results, the ability of the Bulls management in this term is still very good.
Do two-handed preparations, plan A fails and start plan B immediately.
And counting in the previous draft, Noah was traded over, this Bulls finally formed the team in history that had reached the top of the East.
Rose is getting closer and closer to his MVP season.
Of course, the other three teams look worse in comparison.
The Cavaliers are the worst, because no one wants to go to Cleveland!
With James, they lost not only the strength of the team, but also an immeasurable off-court loss.
It's not surprising why Gilbert yelled at him.
He is not distressed for the fans, but for the money!
The Nets and Heat are not much better.
Because James decided too late, there are not many players that can be signed in the free market.
The Nets are completely silent, and looking at the posture, they are ready to train new players.
Riley is also angry with the Heat.
Because he thought he was holding James securely.
But he also showed his ability to be a "manager" and started Plan B.
He began to take the initiative to contact the Nuggets to discuss the possibility of trading Anthony.
followed very quickly, and he successively reached deals with the Timberwolves and the Kings.
A first round plus a second round, and a special case of extra quota, was traded from the Timberwolves to Al Jefferson, who was deeply involved in leaving the team because of the rise of Love.
followed, another special case and two second rounds to get Kevin Martin from the rebuilt Kings.
stopped Beasley's deal and renewed O'Neal with a two-year, 12 million contract.
then follow Mike Miller from the free market.
Martin + Beasley + Jefferson + O'Neal ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and come to Miller from the bench.
This lineup can be considered to temporarily fill in the poor line, and it also has a certain degree of competitiveness in the East.
And Riley quickly contacted Wade's team after he could not recover Wade to discuss the issue of signing first and then changing.
Take a few rounds, and then take a super special case, this is to prepare for the subsequent transaction.
His ambition is definitely more than that. Riding a donkey to find a horse is his current state of mind.
However, these will not be the focus of attention from the outside world at this time.
The outside world is now watching how the Knicks are going to show off.
You must know that the Knicks do not have enough space to sign the Big Three.
Even if they don't want anything, they let go of David Lee, whose 20+10 contract expired last season, and there is still a 10,000-year potential stock in the formation, but Eddie Curry, who has an annual salary of 10 million.
Curry has only played a few games due to injury in the past two seasons. It is not so easy to send him away.
Even some teams have closed Curry's trading channels, just waiting to see the Knicks jokes.
If only two of the last three people went there, it would definitely be the scene of a major accident.
