Chapter 63: No fans allowed
Mark Cuban, who was sitting on the sidelines, was stunned. He suddenly turned around and said to General Manager Nelson, "Donnie, I suddenly feel that Wolverine and Dirk joining forces should be a good choice."

Nelson was stunned and shook his head, "He has great talent, and his strength and explosive power are amazing, even a historical level talent.

His destructive power on the rebounds is no weaker than that of the Great Shark. The Great Shark is larger in tonnage and his absolute strength is greater.

Boss, this young man with such talent is obvious to the naked eye. Everyone can see his potential. The Knicks will not give up on him. Even if his rookie contract ends, the Knicks will not let him go. They have the priority to match him. "

Mark Cuban immediately showed a regretful expression, and complained: "The Knicks were able to find him from China, why didn't we know about him?

We have the most connections in China in the entire league. His agent seems to be Wang's agent, Mr. Xia. I heard that Mr. Donald and Mr. Xia are friends. "

"Boss, I'm sorry." Nelson Jr. could only admit his mistake.

After Wang Zhizhi stopped cooperating with Xia Song, he did not contact Xia Song again, but he did not expect that Xia Song still had such an outstanding center seedling in his hands.

Mark Cuban shrugged his shoulders. Nelson Jr. was very capable. It was he and Nelson Sr. who selected Dirk Nowitzki for the Mavericks, so he didn't say anything else.

In the commentary booth, Hoffman Rogers swallowed his throat, with a bitter look on his face, and said: "Wolverine, this is his fifth game and the third time he has smashed the opponent's backboard. Unfortunately, our Mavericks are one of them. It was terrible tonight!"

Lanthrom's face looked very ugly, and he said unhappily: "The game will be interrupted for at least 30 minutes, and everyone's time will be wasted. Our ratings will be greatly affected, as will our sponsors, and the players' conditions will also be seriously affected.

Really, I think the league should ban this kind of senseless, destructive show of strength behavior and impose hefty fines and suspensions."

Hoffman Rogers hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think so too. The game cannot be interrupted for a long time. That would be too bad. Every time the backboard is broken, all parties will lose a lot of benefits."

In this game, He Zhongqiu used his own power to retaliate against the Mavericks fans, but the Knicks still lost the game in the end.

And they lost by a lot, 86:107, a loss of 21 points.

He Zhongqiu played for 24 minutes, was fouled out with six fouls, and had five turnovers. His fouls and turnovers seriously affected his playing time.

一共9投8中，7罚3中，得到19分5篮板1助攻2盖帽1抢断5失误6犯规。

The score set a new record for himself, and 7 of his 3 free throws were two-plus-ones.

Because the Mavericks' inside line was too weak, all the offense took place under the basket, all of which were violent dunks, and the sixth dunk missed.

The first five dunks contributed 1500 offensive tactical proficiency to him, and the next three dunks contributed 600 proficiency.

After 8 slam dunks, you will get a proficiency of 2100. In the next game, as long as you can make a few consecutive attacks, your offensive tactics can be upgraded to the next level.

In terms of defensive tactics, he successfully completed 11 defenses in total, including consecutive defenses, and gained a total of 1800 proficiency points, raising his level to level 50.

其他的技能加起来获得了425个熟练度，其中5次连续完成扣篮获得了45个熟练度，后面3次连续扣篮获得了18个熟练度。

The low-post footwork was improved by one level during the competition, and more than one hundred proficiency points were accumulated later.

This is also one of the skills that improves the fastest besides tactics. As long as you continuously and correctly complete the steps on both offense and defense, you can get continuous bonus rewards, which will be doubled after ten times.

After the game, a large group of reporters came over to interview him.

"Wolverine, what was your motivation for doing that to the fans after you smashed the backboard?" a Dallas Daily reporter asked. "To shut up those shameful people and to protest their racial discrimination against me," He Zhongqiu said directly.

At this time, Don Cheney shouted outside: "Reporters, our team will file a complaint with the league, accusing the Mavericks of serious racial discrimination against our players at their home court."

Fifteen minutes after the game ended, the NBA headquarters received a complaint from the Knicks and a suggestion from the Mavericks management to ban players from intentionally smashing the backboard.

In fact, Vice President Adam Silver watched the game and had a basic understanding of the situation.

Ladas is a severely affected area of ​​racial discrimination. The Mavericks' home court has always had racial discrimination against players of color, but for the sake of the ball market, the league has always turned a blind eye and the punishment has not been severe enough.

Wolverine is Chinese. Chinese are at the bottom of the discrimination chain in the United States, and Wolverine is a unique Chinese. He just KOed twelve Pacers by himself. He is extremely domineering and strong. This behavior particularly upset the arrogant white people in Dallas, so there was more serious racial discrimination tonight.

At 8:30 the next day, David Stern had just arrived at the president's office when Adam Silver came and reported the relevant situation to him.

Adam Silver said: "Mr. Commissioner, I support the Mavericks management's decision to prohibit players from intentionally smashing backboards.

Last night's game was interrupted for 31 minutes, and the ratings dropped significantly afterwards. The TV broadcasters and sponsors were very dissatisfied, and their interests suffered a great loss. I received many complaints. "

David Stern looked at Adam Silver helplessly and said in a deep voice: "Adam, dunking is one of the most exciting parts of the game. Not only can we not prohibit it, we must encourage it.

Wolverine is a big-sized Rain Man. Every dunk of his can attract the attention of fans. I believe that in the future more New York fans will buy tickets to watch his dunks.

I don't agree with your attitude. You can prohibit players from dunking hard today, but can you prohibit players from playing defense hard tomorrow? Can you prohibit players from touching each other the day after tomorrow?"

"How do you know what's going on in my mind?"

Adam Silver was very surprised, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

The league has always been encouraging offense, and David Stern has been doing so since he became commissioner. He also has this idea. To encourage offense, of course, defense must be restricted. Isn't this normal?

David Stern said: "Adam, reducing the number of shattered backboards cannot be done by restricting players, but should start with basketball facilities.

You should contact our basketball stand supplier and backboard supplier. We need to reinforce the basketball stand again. It would be best to add some buffer structures between the backboard and the basket to minimize the force transmitted to the backboard. The backboard also needs stronger tempered glass. "

"OK."

Adam Silver nodded quickly. He didn't have the power to fight against the old man now, but he asked again: "Mr. President, what about the complaint against the Knicks?"

"The NBA does not allow racial discrimination. The behavior of the Mavericks' home fans this time was too obvious. If we do not increase the penalties, it will definitely attract criticism from the media, and the colored players in the league will also be dissatisfied."

David Stern made a quick decision and said, "Let's do this. The Mavericks will be fined $500,000 and no fans will be allowed to enter their home games."

"Banned fans from entering? Sir, that would be a huge loss. The revenue from tickets and sponsorship would be at least tens of millions of dollars," Adam Silver said in surprise.

"Let's do it." David Stern said firmly.

"Well, sir, I will announce the penalty decision to the public immediately," Adam Silver agreed.
