Chapter 254: I, Richard, That's Right (Tianruo Water Title 9)

There have been many cancellations in the history of the NBA.

For example, bad weather, accidental deaths of players, slippery courts, shootings, etc., all of which have caused the NBA to cancel the original game.

Later in the 2012-2013 season, the NBA canceled the game and did not schedule a replay due to a terrorist attack on the city.

It was also the only game in the entire history of the NBA that the NBA canceled a game without a replay scheduled, and the Green Kai had only 81 games against both sides that season.

However, these games are completely different from today's games.

Tonight's game is the only game in the NBA so far that has been played, and fans have already entered with tickets before the cancellation of the game is announced!

It is the only game in NBA history that was canceled because of a brawl between players!

You can see the seriousness of the situation!

To be honest, even a madman like Richard feels like a little out of control!

Even Richard was ready to roll back to the NCAA......

But it was completely impossible for Richard to give up resistance like this, and the situation was unknown at the moment, and Richard felt that he had to fight.

gave up the good situation of the NCAA and chose to enter the NBA, and now he has finally made some achievements, so that Richard will definitely not be able to do it!

……

"Stevens, inform reporters that we have a post-game press conference!" Richard recruited Stevens and asked him to go to the team's PR manager.

……

The nearly 20,000 fans at the scene are also in a daze now, because the game was canceled after just 30 seconds?

But although the game can't be watched, they have no regrets in their hearts!

Can't watch the game on any day? This kind of battle to revive the heroes of Portland's enforcers is enough to remember them for a lifetime!

That's a lot more meaningful than watching a game!

……

Back in the locker room, Richard received a call from his boss, Paul Allen.

Li ...... This...... Hey......" Paul Allen sighed.

"I'm sorry, Paul, things are getting a little out of hand!" Richard whispered.

"Lee, don't say I'm sorry to me, I understand you very much, in fact, from a fan's point of view, I appreciate what you do!"

"Don't worry too much about it now, do what you have to do, I believe you have this public relations ability!"

"As for the rest of the game, let me do it......" Paul Allen, although a little depressed, knew that he had to step up at this moment.

Like he said, from the perspective of a Trail Blazers fan, he would appreciate what Richard has done.

Fans can be said to be the foundation of a team, and it is strange that a team that has lost people's hearts can make money!

So, whether it's from a businessman's point of view or from a fan's point of view, Paul Allen can't let Richard go.

"If I'm not mistaken, Larry Miller's side won't rest on his laurels!"

"Chances are, Stern will gather all the team owners to discuss how to settle this matter!"

"I'm going to contact the owners of the other teams......"

……

"Inform the team's public relations manager to let the fans refund their tickets before they leave the stadium." After hanging up the phone, Paul Allen said to the staff next to him.

……

Paul Allen's phone call reassured Richard, but he knew that if he messed up, even if Paul Allen came forward, it would be useless.

He forced himself to calm down, and now he is the backbone of the players, and he must not mess around!

"Ben, how's the injury?" Richard looked at Big Ben worriedly.

Big Ben's injury this time is much more tragic than last time, and his whole face is no longer human, which makes Richard a little sad to look at.

"It's okay, Coach, I know it's time for you to wipe our butts again!"

"Don't worry, we'll be fine!"

"We believe in you, with you, no matter what is a small matter!"

Big Ben grinned, his original white teeth had been dyed red by blood at the moment.

"Coach, don't worry about doing your thing, we believe in you!"

"We believe in you!"

The players may not have realized the seriousness of the problem, or they may have realized the seriousness of the problem, but because of their unconditional trust in Richard, they know that Richard will take care of it!

Richard nodded solemnly.

"Good! You guys pack up, then go back and have a good rest, and look at Lao Tzu in the next few days! Richard patted his chest.

This is Richard's guarantee!

……

In the conference room of the Rose Garden Arena, there was nowhere to insert at the moment, countless people crowded the conference room, and even some reporters from entertainment newspapers and magazines rushed here.

There is no doubt that tomorrow, no matter what kind of newspaper, tonight's game will be in the headlines!

……

Alone!

Richard walked into the venue alone, his face heavy.

The whole hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was watching Richard......

The press conferences attended by Richard left a deep impression on the reporters, and he was shameless, angry, and even sensational.

Everyone wonders what exactly Richard will do today!

It's too big, and it's much worse than last season's Western Conference semifinals brawl!

……

Richard stood in the middle of the table and took the microphone from the PR manager.

whispered to hundreds of reporters at the scene, and said slowly.

"Pioneer, that's right!"

"I, Richard, yes!"

The reporters in the audience almost fainted, it's all at this point in time, and they still have to be hard-mouthed?!

Didn't he Richard know that if he continued to speak so hard, he would completely anger Stern?!

He's really crazy?!

There were no reporters to ask questions, and they knew very well that Richard was the real protagonist of today's press conference, and he could say whatever the reporters wanted without reporters asking questions!

"You're reporters, but why don't you let me make a cameo as a reporter today and ask you a few questions!"

"I see that most of you are men, and I want to ask if your lower body is attacked and you fall unconscious, what will you do to each other the next time you meet?"

"Smiling faces? What happens when nothing happens? Or do you want to fight back hard?! ”

The reporters in the audience who asked this question directly were speechless, what would they do? It's a little bloody, and it's impossible to greet each other with a smile or act as if nothing happened!

They'll fight back, too!

Seeing that the reporters did not speak, Richard nodded.

"My first question, although you didn't answer it, but judging from your expressions, I almost already know the answer!"

"Okay, let me ask the second question, is it a first offense for Stockton to attack the opponent's player's lower body?"

Richard's voice was cold, and the reporters recalled......

They were surprised to find that there are countless players in the league who accuse Stockton of being dirty, and in terms of popularity, Stockton can be said to be the worst in the league.

Various anonymous surveys, the league's most unpopular and dirtiest players, Stockton is mostly firmly in the first place!

Stockton's attack on the opponent's lower body, Kobe Bryant was definitely not the first offense!

"Well, I know the answer from your expressions again!"

"Then tell me, why didn't the league impose heavy penalties on Stockton before? Various anonymous surveys, Stockton is the least popular player in the league, why anonymity? It's not that I'm afraid of Jazz's revenge! ”

"But I'm not afraid of Richard, and neither am the pioneers!"

"What kind of move does the Jazz dare to make, I, Richard and the Trail Blazers players, dare to return it tenfold and hundredfold!"

The reporters were speechless again, and this anonymous investigation was not just about fear of retribution from the Jazz, after all, playing in a league, no one wants to tear their faces.

"Let's look at it from another perspective, what would they do if it happened in Chicago?"

"What will Jordan do? What will the Bulls players do? What will the fans in Chicago do?! ”

The journalists were deep in thought......

"You shouldn't forget what the cause of the large-scale brawl in the last Western Conference semifinals was!"

"I admit that Stockton is really good, but the more good the quality, the more you can see how unpopular this kind of player is!"

"The results of the first round of voting are basically decided now, and you tell me where Stockton is?"

"He doesn't have as many votes as our Trail Blazers' 19-year-old guard!"

"The fans' eyes are bright, such a scum player should not be selected as an All-Star!"

This is not Richard's nonsense, Stockton is not only not popular with the players, but also not very well received among the fan base.

Under normal circumstances, with Stockton's team record and personal strength, there is actually no problem in getting the position of starting All-Star guard in the West.

But not only did he not get a start, he didn't even get a substitute.

……

"Fans, players and coaches of teams, you should have a scale in your hearts!"

"You tell me, does Stockton deserve it?!"

"We trailblazers just did what we had to do, what had to be done!"

"What you don't want to, disdain, or dare not do, we pioneers do!"

"So, Trailblazer, that's right!"

"I, Richard, yes!"

……

After that, in the contemplation of the reporters, Richard turned and walked away!

In this press conference, Richard just wanted to show his attitude, of course, he also wanted to win over the public opinion of fans and players, as for whether it could be effective, Richard still doesn't know!

The press conference is only one aspect, and Richard has more to do next!
