Bishop of the Devil

Inside D'Antoni's office.

The Suns owner Robert Savill, with a painful expression on his face, never imagined that he was so troubled to play an ordinary away game in a decent way.

You said that whoever you provoke is bad, you have to provoke Richard.

The Suns didn’t even have a press conference after the game. They just returned to Phoenix by plane after the game.

Xavier called D'Antoni to discuss countermeasures.

"BOSS, this is my fault. I should stop Hunter at the time." D'Antoni said bitterly.

Xavier waved his hand directly and shook his head. "I know very well about this matter. It has nothing to do with you. It's Hunt who killed himself."

"Now this guy has caused us so much trouble. Let him roll it out tomorrow." Savile is getting angry and is going to take Hunter straight away.

Hunt's own transaction value is not large, but it is still a bit of transaction value, but the problem is that now Hunter is completely a time bomb, who dares to buy him.

For today's plan, if the Suns really show an apology, then Hunter can only be used.

Savile is a businessman, a profit-seeking businessman. He doesn't want to have any conflict with Richard Hood.

He is well aware that if there is a conflict, it is definitely not a good thing for their Suns...

D'Antoni nodded. Judging from the current situation, Hunter could only be blamed.

No way, who made them unreasonable for the Suns, it was Hunt who started first...

"Man, don't worry too much about this. My relationship with Paul Allen is good. I will look for opportunities to discuss this with Richard."

Savile patted D'Antoni on the shoulder and motioned him not to worry too much about it.

Xavier's ability to see D'Antoni is in his eyes. Although D'Antoni's qualifications are not very deep, his coaching ability is completely unspeakable.

At least it is much stronger than the previous head coaches of the Suns.

D'Antoni nodded, and now he can only take one step at a time.

I hope this will not be too much trouble, I hope Savile can help Paul Allen to persuade Richard.

...

"Mr. President, aren't you angry?" Xiao Hua was stunned. He received a call from Stern and asked him to come over for a meeting. Originally thinking that Stern was already angry, he started smashing things in his office.

What he didn't expect was that Stern's expression was quite calm.

This made Xiao Huana feel bored, knowing that everything Richard had irritated before made Stern angry.

And just after this bragging incident, the severity of the incident is enough to rank in the entire NBA history. Stern is so calm, it is really unreasonable.

"Naturally angry, Adam, but I don't think this is a bad thing."

"The Pirates New Army needs visibility and needs to open the ball market. I think this is happening. For the Pirates, it's not a bad thing." Stern said with a smile.

Xiao Hua nodded his head, but there was nothing wrong with it. From the feedback of the on-site staff, he could definitely help the Pirates open the market.

This may allow the Pirates to grab the attention of some fans from the Jaguar team.

Xiao Hua probably until Stern meant...

He did not like Richard very much, and even hated it.

But in the face of the interests of the alliance, he was very clear.

Stern's goal is to lead the NBA league to squeeze out the NFL league and become the first of the four major leagues in North America.

Any opportunity to increase the influence of the NBA, Stern is absolutely unwilling to miss.

In the city of Charlotte, the basketball atmosphere is not very good, because the existence of the Jaguar team, the previous Hornets have not made much profit.

In terms of player visibility, the Hornets are also not well-known, far inferior to the Jaguar star.

Now Richard takes over the Pirates, but gives Stern a glimmer of hope.

In the battlefield of Charlotte, hope to defeat the NFL.

Xiao Hua was almost a roundworm in Stern's stomach, and knew Stern's thoughts the first time.

"But, Mr. President, although this incident is beneficial to us, surely there should be some punishment?"

"Of course, punishment should be punished. It should be punished according to the normal level. You should punish as much as you want. Do not favor one party or deliberately target one party.

Stern said with a smile.

Xiao Hua nodded, turned his head and left the office, and began to handle the next punishment plan.

...

Stern's disposal plan made Xiao Hua silently admire, in front of the right and wrong, Stern still quite clear.

For those who are CEOs of small-bodied chicken intestines, I'm afraid they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to rectify Richard.

But think about it, if you really have a small belly, you might not be able to be the president of the alliance.

The president of the league said that he is a senior wage earner and serves the owners of the 30 teams in the league.

To describe this position accurately, it is very much like a band conductor.

And those team owners are members of the band.

If a band has no conductor or the conductor's level is not good, then the overall standard will definitely be affected, but Qu'er can still play, but it's just a bit ugly.

If the band is without these musicians, there will be only one conductor who can't play any song.

Undoubtedly, Stern is an excellent band conductor. Under his leadership, the development of the NBA is booming and it is now the second place in the four major leagues in North America.

Of course, the position of this second place is not stable, and the latecomers may catch up at any time.

After the equally good command of Xiao Hua, the NBA is truly stable in the second place.

It is precisely because of the ability that Xiao Hua has shown that the NFL bosses of the later generations thought of poaching Xiao Hua from the NBA, and even hesitated to offer a sky-high salary of USD 220 million for 5 years.

...

Early in the morning of the next day, many fans did not wake up, and the NBA officials issued a punishment plan.

From this, we can also see how easy it is for Xiao Hua to do things.

On the Suns side, only one Hunter was suspended.

A fine of 25,000 US dollars, 15 takeaway bans...

This is what Stern said about how to punish as much as possible. Players of different grades face this kind of thing, and they will definitely suffer different punishments.

For example, Malone, who had done exactly the same thing as Hunter, had only one game suspension...

When it comes to edge players like Hunter, it can't be a game, and it has directly turned 15 times!

Only one Hunter on the Suns was punished. This is quite normal. After all, when there is a conflict, the Suns are dumbfounded.

By the time they reacted and wanted to help Hunter, Malone and Pippen were already blocking them, and they were not given the chance to get close to the battle group.

This also allows them to escape the disaster and avoid being punished by the alliance.

After the fans and the media read the Suns’ punishment plan, they immediately went on to watch. Their biggest concern was not the Suns’ punishment, but the Pirates.

It is very likely that the punishment of the Pirates will set a historical record.

...

Richard was the first to be punished.

Ten suspended games with a penalty of $300,000...

After the punishment plan of 300,000 fines, fans and the media directly skipped it. Richard is so rich. For him, this 300,000 US dollars is completely sprinkling.

Ten games suspended? Only ten games?

All parties looked at this figure, and some did not respond.

It seems that this punishment is too light...

Before the promulgation of the Richard No. 1 rule, such punishment was considered quite serious.

But now Richard No. 1 has been introduced. This rule is directly named after Richard. This is definitely a typical example of knowingly committing crimes.

Stern actually only fined ten games? !

In the guesswork of all parties, they determined that the Union’s penalty for Richard would never be lower than the 20-game ban.

Next is the punishment of Mourning and Pippen.

The punishment results of the two men are exactly the same, both are suspended for 10 games, and the take-away fine is 15,000 US dollars.

To be serious, the severity of what these two veterans did was actually worse than Hunter.

But for such a meritorious veteran, the Alliance must give some preferential treatment.

Although there is no blatant partiality like Ma Long, it can slightly reduce the number of suspensions, and no one can pick out the fault.

The final punishment was Darko Milicic.

This punishment made everyone calm...

8 bans, plus a fine of $15,000? !

Is this punishment a joke? How could it be so light...

In the eyes of everyone, Milicic may be the biggest punishment in this league. His suspension will definitely reach more than fifteen games, and it is impossible to be lower than Hunter.

But the fact now is that the league doesn't seem to think about him.

This is a bit weird, it makes people wonder...

Milicic is not a star, how can he get this kind of preferential treatment? !

In their eyes, Milicic is not a star, but in the eyes of Stern and Xiao Hua, Milicic is a player they value very much.

Richard attaches great importance to Milicic, which is definitely not a secret.

Since Richard thought so much about him, then there must be something extraordinary in him.

This point, whether it is Stern or Xiao Hua, is extremely confident.

Although the Pirates are famous now, no one knows how long this reputation will last.

Maybe after ten days and a half months, the fans will forget this thing...

Only if there are emperor superstars in the team, it is possible to keep the attention of these fans.

In Stern's and Xiao Hua's view, I am afraid that only Milicic can take on this important task within the Pirates.

At least in the short term, this burden can only be carried by Milicic.

...

After the official punishment decision came out, Richard was relieved. The old boy Stern was really strong this time. The punishment was already far lower than Richard expected.

If Stern really plays hard in this game, not only these people are to be punished, but Iguodala and Ariza are also unavoidable.

The two also kicked Hunter in chaos...

But obviously Stern was too lazy to pursue these details.

"Will you call, thanks to the old guy under Stern?"

"Forget it, don't do it anymore, the old guy heard my voice, it is estimated that he will get angry with heart disease."

The phone didn't make a call, but Richard's relationship was recorded, and he owed Stern a favor.

...

"Hey, why is your kid having trouble again?"

"Tiana is pregnant, you are going to be a father, can't you be a boss honestly?"

"You want me to say what is good for you. Savile called me just now and told me to apologize to you. The Suns will give you an account of this."

"Remember in the future, don't be so impulsive, if you really look at which player is unhappy, don't overdo it, we will slowly pack him up."

Uncle Paul Allen called Richard. The phone was just connected and I heard Paul Allen's grievances.

Richard laughed bitterly. There was such a local uncle who was really good.

Savile is the owner of the Suns. Richard must be clear about this, but he did not expect Savile to call Paul Allen and ask him to plead.

But it is normal to think about it. Richard is currently in a rage. Even if Savile has Richard's phone, he will certainly not call himself, maybe it will create a new conflict.

"Okay, Paul, I know..."

"But this time, you should know that it is entirely the Suns' fault."

"I think I'm right, wait and see what kind of explanation the Suns give me. If not, then I won't let the Suns go."

Richard directly told Paul Allen the real thoughts in his heart, and the angry Paul Allen rushed at Richard again.

...

If the Suns’ next move made Richard dissatisfied, then he would definitely not let the Suns go.

Although the next game against the Suns, it will get the end of March next year, when the season is almost over.

But as the saying goes, gentlemen revenge, not ten years later, Richard can wait, isn't it just a few months...

Anyway, the Suns have a name and a surname, and they can't run.

...

That afternoon, the Suns announced their official announcement.

As Okur returns from injury, the team will give up his contract after Steven Hunt's suspension.

Hunter signed a one-year unguaranteed contract with the Suns this year, that is, Okur was injured, and he had his chance to start...

Otherwise, this kind of unprotected contract player is basically the role of the team's cannon.

...

Fans were dumbfounded when they saw the official announcement of the Suns. What the **** is this operation of the Suns?

Why give up other people's contract, why do you have to wait until the other's suspension is over...

There is no salary for the suspension, so it's impossible for Hunter to spend so much in Phoenix for a month. He can't do anything, and can't get a dime salary? !

This is definitely a Sao operation, but it can not pick out the fault.

Without a guaranteed contract, the player is the meat on the cutting board, and the team will do whatever you want.

...

Although the Suns gave an explanation, the reason why they gave up Hunt, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is the return of Oku's injury, but this explanation is in the eyes of many fans, it is simply to show its strength.

To put it bluntly, I don't want to take Hunter and then let Richard get rid of it.

...

This is not over yet. After the Suns’ official announcement, the team’s head coach D'Antoni called Richard again.

"Lee, this matter is really not right." D'Antoni is a modest gentleman in the coaching community. Whether it is talking or doing things, it is relatively gentle.

Before he coached the Nuggets in the 98-99 season for half a season, he had contact with Richard.

At that time, Richard was absolutely satisfied, quite young, and led the Blazers to the championship.

In addition, Richard's impression of D'Antoni is very good, so the relationship between the two is ok.

When D'Antoni joined the Suns in 2003, Richard also called to congratulate D'Antoni.

In Richard's view, D'Antoni is a generation of master-level figures, especially in the offensive attainments, is a must.

That is, luck is not good enough. When coaching the Suns, the season with the most chance to win the championship, Stoudemire was reimbursed...

When coaching the Rockets, the season with the most chance to win the championship, Paul was hurt again.

If it weren't so bad, this offensive master wouldn't have a championship ring.

...

Although D'Antoni was a player, he hasn't played in the NBA for many years, but it has been quite popular in the Italian league.

The nickname gentleman thief, he is regarded as the grandfather of the Italian men's basketball team.

Kobe lived in Italy when he was a kid. He was a fan of D'Antoni and even imitated his style of play.
