Chapter 1412 Free Service

When Lin Feng arrived, the owners or general managers of the remaining 28 teams in the NBA had been waiting for a long time. (Reading novels)

"Mr. Lin is here too. Now the meeting can begin." David Stern saw Lin Feng arriving and the meeting started immediately.

The fifth game of the Houston Rockets against the Indiana Pacers was a key game that affected whether the Houston Rockets could win this year's NBA championship. However, an own-goal incident occurred. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will have a negative impact on the NBA. Reputation can be a blow. Especially now that both teams are still waiting for news. After all, the NBA has not announced the final result. Whether it will directly award the Houston Rockets a victory or a rematch, the players on both sides dare not relax at all. If it continues to drag on, it will be a heavy blow to the players. burden.

"Everyone, tell me, what should we do? Should we rematch or decide the winner based on the final score?" David Stern asked.

"I think it should be replayed. After all, there was such an own-goal incident at the end of this game. It is really unprecedented. It should be replayed. This is fair enough to the players on both sides and the fans." The first general manager of the Indiana Pacers A rematch is proposed.

"I don't think it's necessary anymore. Even if there's a rematch, the Indiana Pacers can't be the opponent of the Houston Rockets. What's more, at the end of the game, the Houston Rockets led the Pacers by 12 points, which is hard to explain." Los Angeles Lakers General manager Mitch Kupchak opposed replaying the game.

Lin Feng was slightly startled. I didn't expect that the Los Angeles Lakers would actually speak for their team. You know, in the Western Conference finals, my Rockets eliminated the Lakers. Thinking of this, Lin Feng gave Mitch Kupchak a grateful look.

Although the Houston Rockets are not afraid of rematches, it is always a good thing not to have a rematch. You must know that once the rematch occurs, there will be many variables. There may be problems with the players' mentality. Once they lose this game, it will be really difficult to predict the rest of the game.

Mitch Kupchak snorted secretly. He was not speaking for Lin Feng, but for himself. You must know that the Los Angeles Lakers have always been the most watched team in the league, but recently with Lin Feng taking over the Houston Rockets and the strong rise of the Houston Rockets, their attention and popularity have slightly surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers, especially Lin Feng relied on his personal charm to create a star-studded auditorium for the Houston Rockets, without having to sit on the Lakers' home court in Hollywood.

This is something Mitch Kupchak will never tolerate. The Los Angeles Lakers have to be the most popular team in the league. Once this game is replayed, it will undoubtedly create more topics for the Houston Rockets. Therefore, Mitch Kupchak naturally hopes that this season will end as soon as possible. Next season, the Lakers will make a comeback again.

"I think there should be a rematch! After all, the game is not over yet. And judging from this game, if something like this happened suddenly, I really can't say whether it was carefully planned by someone.

"Knicks general manager Thomas said sadly.

Lin Feng frowned. This Thomas is none other than the famous "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas, a superstar, a first-rate scout, but a mediocre general manager. But I didn't provoke him, why would he target me like this?

snort! Damn Jordan, I won't let you win another championship easily. ——Thomas felt a surge of indignation in his heart.

Naturally, he had no complaints against Lin Feng. After all, the two had never known each other before, but towards Jordan, he was full of resentment. The hatred between the two was bitter and deep. Now that Jordan is so popular, after his second comeback, at the age of 42, he led a group of rookies to reach the finals and almost win another championship. This naturally makes Isiah Thomas unhappy. Back then, he was able to instigate other All-Star players to embarrass Jordan in the All-Star Game, and now he can naturally propose a rematch in meetings.

"I think the game should be played according to the rules. Since the game ended normally, the Houston Rockets should be awarded the victory." Heat general manager Pat Riley opposed the replay.

"I think there should be a rematch!"

Suddenly the conference room was filled with excitement. On the issue of rematch or no rematch, everyone held their own opinions and neither of them gave in.

David Stern had a headache. He naturally prefers a rematch, so that the NBA can once again capture the attention of fans, sell more tickets, and achieve higher ratings. But now that more than half of the general managers are opposed to the rematch, it is difficult for him to decide by voting.

"Mr. Lin, you are the owner of the Houston Rockets. This game also had such a big own-goal incident because of you. What do you think of this?" David Stern smiled at Lin Feng. An implicit gesture is made between the fingers.

Before today's meeting, David Stern made an appointment with Lin Feng in advance and asked him to accept the NBA's rematch proposal so that the NBA's interests can be maximized! Of course, in return, David Stern will give the Houston Rockets as much convenience as possible. Of course, this convenience will not be biased by the referee, but just a preference by the league. For example, give a certain bias in the schedule, give a certain bias in the number of national live broadcasts, etc.

Now, more than half of the bosses are opposed to the rematch, so David Stern can only pin his hopes on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pursed his lips helplessly. Originally, he really didn't want to replay. But for David Stern's "league bias", Lin Feng could only agree to replay. But Lin Feng would not agree to replay a game in vain.

"Everyone, please allow me to say something." Lin Feng cleared his throat and asked everyone to calm down.

"Regarding yesterday's game, in my opinion, the blunder that happened in the end was really ridiculous. It has to be said that the players' attention was too distracted!" Lin Feng said with regret.

Not focused? ——The representatives of the other 28 teams rolled their eyes at Lin Feng at the same time.

You first made the popular Ivanka Trump cry in the stadium, and then you even wanted to fight with the New York real estate tycoon. It would be strange if this player could still concentrate on playing! If you want to blame someone, blame you for being too troublesome. You can watch a game and it will be earth-shattering! ——Everyone sighed.

Think about them watching a game, at most it's just a few TV screens. As a result, Lin Feng watched the game, but the audience didn't watch the game, the referee didn't blow the whistle, and the players didn't play. This is really a monster. ——Everyone sighed. This person is so annoying.

Alas, when can I be so cool! ——The representatives of the other 28 teams couldn't help but sigh.

"Regarding the fact that the last five minutes of this game were wasted, in my opinion, it was entirely the problem of the Indiana Pacers players. Because they had the ball in the end, but they didn't play. My players had to waste time with them because they were leading. Therefore, in the end, they had to watch the game end. So, in principle, I don't agree to a rematch." Lin Feng said indignantly.

More than half of the team representatives who did not support a rematch nodded. Originally, this game was almost unjust. It was all the Pacers players' own problem. If a rematch is to be played, then when a team falls behind in the future, will they ask for a rematch if they don't play?

David Stern was shocked. He had agreed with Lin Feng, why did Lin Feng suddenly change his mind?

David Stern stared at Lin Feng, looking as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Lin Feng winked at David Stern.

"But, out of respect for the fans, I still propose a replay. But not a replay of the entire game, but a replay of the last 5 minutes." Lin Feng said.

Replay for five minutes! ——Everyone was stunned. But then he nodded. This kind of replay for a few minutes has happened before. After all, sometimes there are always small accidents, and if the game is completely replayed, it is naturally unfair to the leading team. If there is no replay, it is also unfair to the lagging team, so replaying the affected time is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.

David Stern frowned when he heard this. He had naturally considered this way of replaying. However, from the perspective of maximizing the interests of the NBA, the best choice is undoubtedly to replay the entire game. But now Lin Feng has proposed a five-minute replay, and most team representatives agree. Although he is the president of the NBA, he cannot object. After all, the NBA is a democratic league, and he is just working for these bosses.

"Then it's decided. The last five minutes of the fifth game between the Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers will be replayed at the Houston Rockets' home court two days later. Do you have any objections?" David Stern asked at last.

Everyone looked at each other and agreed with the resolution.

"Well, it's settled, adjourn the meeting!" David Stern announced the end of the meeting.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. It's really inefficient to have to make a trip to New York for just one decision. Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Everyone, please stay calm and don't leave. I have a suggestion for the NBA league." Lin Feng said loudly.

Everyone was stunned.

"Everyone, I was originally going to return to China today, but I changed my route to New York for this meeting. I think many people here should have other things to do, and suddenly changed their schedules because of this meeting, and flew to New York overnight, right!" Lin Feng asked.

Many people nodded. Especially the representatives of the farthest teams, they complained bitterly. They were dizzy from the plane all night. Although there is a business class, it is not a private jet after all, so the pain of traveling is always unavoidable.

"So I suggest that the NBA can choose to hold unimportant meetings directly through online video in the future, which will undoubtedly save the time and energy of the bosses! Of course, my company "Phantom Technology" is very happy to provide such a service! Free!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

But Lin Feng's smile looks so evil!
