NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 605: Official intervention, apology issued, LeBron becomes the biggest victim!

"You bunch of bastards, you sons of bitches, don't you dare run away!"

Morris Bolton chased after them furiously, cursing, but he was no match for a group of young people.

Besides... he was so dirty, he had no desire to chase after anyone, and it was all very upsetting.

I changed into an expensive new outfit for work today.

I was in a very good mood.

Although I was initially very angry when someone attacked my family last night, it was ultimately just verbal abuse.

He has this ability to withstand pressure.

He can endure it.

Now... these people are also launching offline attacks, blocking people's doorsteps and throwing rotten eggs and stones to cause harm.

This constitutes a personal attack.

This is considered provoking trouble.

Morris Bolton couldn't stand it.

He absolutely had to call the police so they could catch these bastards and put them in jail!

The official NBA account was also flooded with criticism from fans.

The fans' goal is simple: to expel the "corrupt referee."

The NBA has also learned of three situations from various news reports and the constant barrage of private messages in the back office.

First, Morris Bolton was accused of biased refereeing.

Second, the fans' comments were excessive.

Third, the police contacted the NBA Referees Committee and informed them of the fact that there were fans providing real refereeing services in person.

The news quickly reached David Stern's ears.

What could have been just an ordinary match with a referee's mistake turned into a huge mess.

The NBA officials also had to take this seriously.

They had to thoroughly investigate the match to see if the referee's biased behavior had gone too far.

Does it warrant severe punishment?

Under investigation.

The referee committee believes that the referees made too many mistakes in their calls last night and that there was a clear bias towards the Heat.

but……

The referee committee knew of Morris Bolton's professional abilities and that he was generally quite competent.

Besides...

His favorite player is Allen Iverson, so theoretically he should be biased towards the Knicks.

In the Knicks' home arena, in the home of their favorite star, they show favoritism towards the other team.

This is very unusual.

The NBA Referees Committee noticed something unusual and suspected that the referees were involved in match-fixing.

However, once it escalates to match-fixing, Morris Bolton's outrageous officiating on the court, where he tried every means to make the Knicks lose, is a prime example.

Everything suddenly returned to normal.

In the NBA, referees are explicitly prohibited from participating in any gambling activities, even in games they are not officiating.

Once the evidence is confirmed, the employee will be immediately suspended.

The NBA Referees Committee immediately launched an investigation.

However... after a thorough investigation, no evidence was found that Morris Bolton was involved in match-fixing.

Think again.

This concerns his entire refereeing career; most referees wouldn't take such a risk.

The search yielded no results.

At 8 p.m., before the Lakers vs. Mavericks game at 9 p.m., the NBA officially released a statement announcing the outcome of the investigation.

First, they denied that Morris Bolton was involved in match-fixing.

Second, in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Morris Bolton was accused of biased officiating against the Heat and was given a three-game suspension.

Third, it is important to emphasize a simple fact: referees and their families are also human beings.

No fan may engage in malicious verbal attacks, insults, curses, violent threats, or even offline acts of harming referees.

This is not permitted by the league.

I hope fans will watch their words. As for those fans who hurt Morris Bolton, you will pay the price for your actions.

Fourth, given that this is a crucial Eastern Conference Finals game, Maurice Bolton will apologize for his officiating errors.

This announcement.

Most fans agree.

After all... the referee being punished and apologizing to the public is the outcome everyone wants to see.

As for verbal attacks? And what about real-life attacks?

They are a minority, after all.

High-quality fans wouldn't openly hurl insults like that, while low-quality fans would simply ignore it.

Ah, yes, yes.

Continue next time.

However... some fans still raised questions, believing that Morris Bolton engaged in match-fixing.

The alliance's investigation period was too short; they hope the investigation will continue.

After receiving the penalty, Morris Bolton immediately posted an apology on social media.

He wrote: "Because of one of my very incompetent calls, I indirectly caused the Knicks to lose the game."

This is my mistake, and I will definitely pay closer attention and officiate the game more rigorously in the future.

Make the competition as fair as possible.

My negligence disappointed the fans and gave them a bad viewing experience.

This is my problem.

Here, I solemnly apologize to all the fans: I am truly sorry, I am so sorry!!!

The apology was sincere.

Even if he was somewhat unwilling, even if he was still suffering the pain of his family being insulted and cursed.

But he had to do it for the sake of his job.

Everything is related to his problematic officiating.

He himself felt somewhat aggrieved, as he was suffering some undeserved misfortune.

So when the media came to him and asked if he had deliberately engaged in biased refereeing, he was met with resistance.

He complained, "I apologized simply because I blew some wrong whistles; it wasn't intentional."

I was actually wronged as well.

You know, LeBron often just goes for layups like that, and nobody calls it.

Because he will end the attack with a cool and powerful dunk, or even complete a beautiful 2+1 play.

That's what the fans want to see.

That's the kind of offense the league wants its players to produce.

If we blow the whistle and focus on minor details, it will ruin the aesthetics of the attack and give fans an unpleasant viewing experience.

This will also make us suffer the infamy.

So... sometimes, I'm also conflicted about whether to call a foul, especially since LeBron always seems to be able to finish plays very smoothly.

Over time, it becomes a habit.

Sometimes they boast, sometimes they tacitly remain silent.

Coincidentally, I assumed there would be no refereeing in the last match; that's just how things were, only it was blown out of proportion.

This resulted in the impression that I was making biased calls or even involved in match-fixing.

This is truly innocent.

If I had known it would end this badly, I would have preferred to keep whistling at him while he was walking.

He is one of the league's most favored figures.

That's right.

But...why should I bear the pain and hurt? I don't want to be such a good person!!!

A frustrated Maurice Bolton vented his frustrations to the media cameras.

It's like an astonishing inside story, as if... LeBron really does have "trading privileges".

It's really just a "celebrity refereeing" tactic.

As for the superstars that are heavily promoted, this is something that fans know in their hearts, and it has always been the case.

Jordan is the most typical example.

Next is Kobe, then LeBron, or perhaps... Su Yan right now!!!

The NBA promotes talent.

The NBA also needs a public image, which is understandable.

However... some things are better left unsaid, and no one will bring them up intentionally.

Once it's deliberately exposed, its popularity will soar.

The media, in particular, is always good at creating hype, and they immediately began working to release this interview with Maurice Bolton.

This immediately made "trading privilege" one of LeBron's "labels".

This has suddenly turned LeBron James, who was peacefully preparing for Game 3 in Miami, into the biggest victim of this farce!

"???"

"What happened? Does it mean... the referee himself revealed solid evidence that LeBron committed multiple traveling violations in the last game?"

"Is it just that the league is heavily promoting it, so tacit approval is okay?"

"LeBron's 'trading privilege'?!"

"LeBron with the 'Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon'?!"

"Wow, the referee really went off the rails! This was a bombshell, and LeBron got caught in the crossfire."

But... that seems to be a problem?

"No wonder I felt that LeBron's layups were very strange many times, they all looked like traveling."

But the referee never calls the call.

This initially gave me the illusion that I had made a mistake in my judgment, and I even thought that my understanding of walking was flawed.

"Haha~ LeBron is known in the league as the 'master of traveling'."

“That’s right, that’s right.

I admit that LeBron James, nicknamed "King James," possesses extraordinary physical gifts, making him seem like a "chosen one."

But his technique was really rough.

His offense relies entirely on physical dominance, and his drives are all traveling violations; his pure skill level is really, really average.

"Bullshit!"

LeBron was the undisputed best small forward in the league before Su Yan. You're saying he's just average?!

The young emperor is not only talented and has a strong offensive ability, but his defense is also very impressive.

A chase-down block while the entire crowd was focused on speed and heads down.

It has almost become LeBron's personal trademark; you can find all of it with a simple search on YouTube.

Attack and defense integrated.

LeBron is destined to be a superstar with the strength of a "hexagonal warrior"!!!

"A logo?!"

What a joke.

It's just editing. Eight years of NBA career, a less than 3-minute highlight reel of chase-down blocks, with repetitions and slow-motion details.

What is its value?!

This isn't something a player with even a little defensive ability and a few years of NBA experience could do!

Is this something to brag about?!

"LeBron is just a stat padder."

"We don't need to say so much, nor do we need to go so far afield, let's just talk about walking."

I think the league needs to take this seriously.

You can praise LeBron, but... he also needs to be strict with himself and set a good example.

If you travel on every ball.

How did he become the face of the league, the benchmark for the entire league's progress?!

"So it was all walking! All the footwork I'd been seeing before was wrong!"

"LeBron is such a disappointment!"

"..."

Verbal and written criticism.

LeBron's "traveling" has suddenly become the focus of attention, sparking heated discussions and criticisms across the league.

LeBron, who was focused on preparing for the game, was caught in the crossfire.

……

at the same time.

Staples Center.

The fierce battle between the Lakers and the Mavericks continues.

After losing the first game, the Lakers absolutely cannot afford to lose again tonight, as that would put the series in a very difficult situation.

That's a situation the Lakers don't want to see.

"Queen Bee" Paul + "Black Mamba" Kobe.

The Lakers' "diamond backcourt" boasts two incredibly strong and competitive players who, when combined, create an astonishing fighting force.

but.

Dirk Nowitzki, in his "deification year," and his teammates, in red-hot form, also displayed remarkable resilience.

The game between G2 and G2 went down to the final quarter.

With five minutes remaining, Paul and Kobe combined for several offensive plays, establishing a six-point lead.

Keep it up until the very end.

Win the game.

The score was now tied 1-1.

After the game.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson told reporters, "Dirk is in such good form this year, every shot he takes is a difficult one."

But it always manages to hit the target.

You know, this is really incredible.

If he continues to perform like this, honestly, not just us, any team in the league will have a huge headache.

He really does resemble Su Yan from last year.

Fortunately... we won the game, fortunately... our entire team is strong enough.

We are the better team.

The Lakers, who can unite Paul and Kobe, won with great difficulty, and even had some embarrassing moments.

can only say……

Dirk Nowitzki in the "Year of the Gods" was incredibly strong, so strong that his opponents absolutely could not underestimate him.

Otherwise, we will definitely pay a heavy price.

……

The next day.

8 p.m.

The Heat and Knicks are about to face off in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Tonight at the Heat's home arena, Amex Arena.

LeBron James, who has recently been embroiled in a "traveling controversy," was booed by some fans before the game for not knowing how to play basketball and for traveling every game.

Mocking is a brute who only knows how to use his body and doesn't understand any skills.

That's somewhat hurtful.

Thankfully it was at home, otherwise... LeBron's mentality might have been ruined before the game.

"cut."

LeBron hummed, trying to adjust his mindset as much as possible, "If the referee didn't call it, it's a good play. Besides... I understand the rules, I'll just be a little more careful."

This is my home turf.

Don't even think about watching me make a mistake!!!

soon.

Amidst heated discussions and the fiery atmosphere of the stadium.

After the score was tied 1-1, they were back to square one, and the best-of-five series continued...

"Snapped!"

Zydrunas Ilgauskas swatted the ball away, winning the Heat their first possession back at home.

"Bang bang bang!"

Wade dribbled the ball up the court to the left top of the key, facing Curry one-on-one, and decisively chose to take the shot.

Feinting while controlling the ball in front of the body.

Lower the center of gravity.

He faked an in-and-out move with his left hand, then immediately accelerated by pushing off the ground, getting past Curry.

He dashed to the basket like lightning.

With a quick step, he leaped into the air with astonishing explosive power, even though Tyson was right under the basket.

He didn't even have a chance to jump.

He was completely relegated to the background.

slammmm dunk.

"boom!"

Wade's powerful dunk gave the Heat a winning start.

Immediately... LeBron, like a bulldozer, rolled over George to the basket, and in the midst of the confrontation, he turned and scored a mid-range jumper.

Bosh wasn't going to be outdone, hitting a mid-range jumper from the left low post.

The Heat's Big Three, as always, unleashed their full power.

The New York Three are no pushovers either.

Su Yan first attacked the basket, made a layup with the ball, and twice folded his arms to avoid being blocked by Bosh and Ilgauskas.

The reverse shot hit.

In the next possession, Su Yan made a back cut and created an opportunity, immediately drawing the Heat's Big Three into collapsing their defense.

Curry was about to pass to Su Yan when he saw Su Yan being double-teamed and that there was no space in front of him.

Without a moment's hesitation.

He raised his hand and unleashed a three-pointer.

Holding firm to his goal, he made the three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Hollow hit.

Having arrived in New York and rapidly improved in front of Su Yan, Curry would likely pay a price if given a three-point opportunity.

Especially at the very beginning of the game.

In the very next round, Su Yan defended Bosh one-on-one, which appeared to be a mismatch defense.

but.

"boom!"

With his strong body, [Steel Bones lv5], Bosh couldn't break through or even get close to him.

"I clearly have a competitive advantage, so why am I the one who can't make a single step forward?!"

Bosh is not Sister Li.

Bosh knew he couldn't score, and he was already trying to pass the ball, but... his intentions were too obvious.

Pretending not to see through his plan, Su Yan, waiting for his opportunity, struck with lightning speed, like a cheetah striking.

"Snapped!"

Intercept Bosh's pass.

While grabbing the ball, he made a long pass... giving the ball to George who was on a fast break in the frontcourt.

One against zero, a one-on-one battle at the basket.

George unleashed his talent, delivering a spectacular between-the-legs dunk that ignited the entire arena!
