Chapter 161: Play ball with a gun?

In the Christmas game between the Knicks and the Heat, Lian Dao also scored a triple-double with 38 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds.

However, Lian Dao's triple-double record did not attract the attention of the general media. During the press conference, only local reporters in New York raised some questions, and other media reporters were particularly quiet today.

Can't triple-doubles attract your attention now?

Are the demands so high now?

Or is it that the media is now lying flat and doesn't need to make money?

In fact, it's not like what Lian Dao thought, not only the game between the Knicks and the Heat did not get the media's attention, even the Christmas game between the Cavaliers and the Lakers did not arouse the curiosity of the media. Because the media focus is not on New York and Los Angeles, but on Washington…

The next day, when Lian Dao saw the media reports, he suddenly realized that the gun incident still broke out.

At that time, he thought that his reborn little wings could stir up some things and change some situations, but Lian Dao thought too much, and the ability to correct history was too strong.

Unless he personally intervenes artificially, many things will still develop according to the track of history.

No, the gun incident in Arenas broke out, and it was exactly the same as in history.

On December 25, the locker room of the Washington Wizards' home stadium, the Mic Center Arena training hall.

Arenas came to the Wizards' training hall early for training, and he also took 4 unloaded guns and put them in the personal locker in the locker room.

After training, Arenas stood next to the two locker boxes and put 4 guns in a conspicuous position.

Then he said to Crittenton in a provocative tone: "Hey, I brought the gun you want, do you want to choose one?"

Immediately afterwards, Crittenton turned his back to Arenas and said, "Spare your stuff."

Then he turned slowly and pointed a loaded pistol at Arenas with the motion of a gunman in a western.

When the other teammates saw this scene, time seemed to stop for a few seconds, and then they all ran out of the locker room in fright.

Fortunately, security arrived in time to stop them, and no one was injured.

The Wizards, conducting emergency public relations, told all locker room staff and players not to disclose news of the confrontation with guns.

However, where is the locker room, how can it be possible to keep the news.

Not more than 6 hours later, the media knew that there was a gun confrontation in the Wizards locker room.

Then all the media swarmed up like flies discovering carrion.

What kind of Christmas war, can there be something to watch?

There are Christmas battles every year, and confrontations with guns are rare. Do you still need to carry a gun before going on stage?

Give your opponent a shot if you don't like it?

The media reported heavily on this matter.

In the evening, Stern was watching the ratings of the Christmas game that his assistant had just sorted out. He was very pleased to see that the ratings of the Knicks against the Heat were similar to those of the Lakers and Knicks. .

Just as he was secretly sighing that he did not misread Lian Dao, the assistant rang the president's office and delivered a report to the president.

When Stern finished reading the contents of the report, the old man was so angry that he threw his beloved ashtray out.

The content of the report was the news of the confrontation with guns in the Wizards locker room, which directly ruined all the good mood of the old man.

He worked so hard to save the nba from violence, and this group of careless guys on the Wizards made such a thing happen to themselves.

According to Stern's meaning, it is a direct season suspension, but the boss of the Wizards also came to intercede.

If Arenas is suspended, then the Wizards will probably take a break this season. It is estimated that the tickets for the stadium are not easy to sell.

The entire Wizards leaned against Arenas!

David Stern is also aware of this situation. Fortunately, no video or photos have been circulated, and there is still a way to save it.

After their emergency consultations, the alliance also entered into the investigation symbolically, and then only issued a verbal warning to the two.

In this way, the big problem was solved in a small way.

Why do gun incidents happen?

Since the Wizards have repeatedly emphasized that they are not allowed to disclose information, many media do not know. They blindly guess that Arenas and Crittenton may have some conflicts in private.

But Lian Dao, who saw the news, shook his head with a smile.

In fact, there is another person who broke out in this incident, and this person is: McGee!

During a plane transfer not long after the Wizards, Crittenton and his teammate McGee were playing poker. However, Crittenton's luck was very bad and he lost a lot of money, resulting in a very bad mood.

By the end of the game, McGee won a total of $1,100, but Boykins, who was a teammate at the time, came to McGee and asked McGee for the $200 he had lent to McGee.

And Crittenton happened to be Boykins' good friend. At this time, Crittenton questioned McGee directly, thinking that McGee had already won $1,100, but he was still unwilling to return the $200 to Boykins. s.

At this moment, Arenas, the boss of the team, also stepped in, probably meaning that teammates should talk to each other and not yell.

Crittenton, who was already very emotional at the time, pointed the finger at Arenas directly, saying: You are the highest paid player in the entire team, of course you don't care about the hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Afterwards, the two started spamming each other with trash talk. At that time, Arenas said: "You little rookie, believe it or not, I put you directly in the car, then set the car on fire, put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, and rescued you." come out."

It probably means that as the boss of the team, I am omnipotent.

Then Crittenton snapped back and said, "If you're that good, I can just shoot you." Arenas replied, "Okay, can I bring a gun and let you shoot me? "

At that time, everyone didn't take their conversation seriously, they just felt that the two were having a good time, but they didn't expect that the two people would turn their trash talk on the plane into reality in the locker room two days later.

Unexpectedly, as the protagonist of the incident, McGee could stay out of it. It was not until many years later in an interview on the program that he revealed what really happened at that time.

And McGee will receive a lot of attention in the future, mainly because of O'Neal's five embarrassments.

The reason why O'Neal's five big embarrassments became popular is that McGee definitely contributed half of the material.

He also often made some low-level mistakes on the court, which made everyone laugh and cry.

This McGee, who was jokingly called an all-star below the head by netizens in later generations, is actually not stupid. On the contrary, he is a double-degree student, but he suffers from a disease called add.

A type of memory loss disorder that causes inattention. Excessive exercise can lead to poor insight and difficulty concentrating.

He even forgot to be teammates with Livingston for a year with the Wizards afterward.

However, McGee's talent is absolutely bursting. He is 2.13 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.30 meters. He is a golden height at the center level. His wingspan is also at the top level in the same position. In addition, McGee also has Has a run-up bounce of 83 centimeters, and top-level movement speed.

When he first entered the league, Olajuwon commented on him this way: McGee is about to rule the entire league outside, and he is one of the most talented players I have ever seen.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When he is focused, McGee's talent on the court makes everyone feel amazing.

He can easily take off in the paint to catch caps, and at the same time, he can also contribute wonderful dunks. UU reading

If Antetokounmpo's talent exploded, then Antetokounmpo's template is a healthy McGee.

Lian Dao knew that although the league suppressed this matter, it did not really end, and what happened later also had a huge impact on Arenas' basketball career.

"What are you looking at?" During the training break, Millsap watched Lian Dao staring at the newspaper.

Lian Dao raised the newspaper in his hand towards Millsap, and at this time Millsap also nodded with enlightenment.

"You said, do they really have the Golden Desert Eagle as reported in the media?" Wilson Chandler asked a question at this time.

Both Lian Dao and Millsap were somewhat puzzled by Wilson Chandler's words.

"You know, it's the Golden Desert Eagle, a limited edition." Wilson Chandler explained when he saw the doubts on the faces of these two people.

Lian Dao and Millsap also shook their heads helplessly at this time. This child's brain circuit will always be different from others.
