Stern also nodded when he heard it, and smiled.

Obviously Tatum's way of handling the situation is more in line with his wishes.

"Rules can't be broken."

Xiao Hua then spoke.

Stern is 56 years old and will have to retire in five or six years at most.

He and Tatum are the people most likely to succeed Stern, and there are overt and covert fights everywhere.

"There is a saying in China that 'rules are dead, people are alive'. If we blindly pursue rules, we may be the ones who suffer in the end."

Tatum is still smiling.

"This is the United States, not China."

There was some disgust in Xiao Hua's words. He didn't like China at all. That place was poor and backward and had nothing but people.

Of course, what he hates even more is Tatum's Chinese-like behavior.

Oh, by the way, this man is of Chinese descent, which makes him even more disgusted when he thinks about it.

"I understand, you go out first."

Stern finally stopped the two men.

He had already gotten the answer he wanted, and there was no need to listen to the two arguing anymore.

…

A day later, the league issued a fine.

Both Bowen and Lin Ying were suspended for one game by the league and both were fined $15,000.

Each played 50 big boards, and Stern finally chose to deal with the mud.

And before imposing penalties, Stern sent Tatum to communicate with both teams.

I don’t know what method Tatum used, but neither team made any further appeals in the end.

The storm was finally resolved in a calm manner.

Of course this is just a matter of calming down.

Just like when you get a cut with a knife, it may get better, but it will leave a permanent scar.

The feud between Lin Ying and the Spurs is finally over.

But Lin Ying didn't pay much attention to this.

As I said before, he will not regret the choice he makes.

And after talking to Iverson that day, he could feel that Iverson regarded him as a friend.

Iverson is different from Anthony in that he is very loyal to his friends.

So this has only advantages and no disadvantages for him.

This can also be regarded as an unexpected gain.

And Anthony.

As Anthony said at the press conference, he paid this huge fine for Lin Ying.

Lin Ying did not refuse this time, because this matter was actually a change of direction to make Anthony's reputation better, and it would definitely be inappropriate for him to refuse.

Then the next day, he gave Anthony an iPhone.

The values ​​of the two are definitely not equal, but they are very suitable.

Because if it is expensive, Anthony will feel that Lin Ying looks down on him.

As for the mobile phone, it was less than a thousand dollars. Lin Ying explained the Chinese custom of "reciprocity", and Anthony happily accepted it.

Although he doesn't want to be ganged up by Anthony, as Yao Ming said before, it is also important to have a good relationship with his teammates.

And Lin Ying really can't spend any money now.

As a person who spends all day in the training gym, is single, and has no plans to rent a car, where can he spend his money?

The salary advance from the team is enough for him to last for a long time!

Then the endorsement contract he signed with Anta is settled once a year, and the first year has already been paid.

And after finding that he couldn't spend the money, he spent most of his endorsement fees to buy Apple stocks.

It’s not that he suddenly wanted to be a businessman among players on a whim, but Apple 1 was only officially released at the end of June this year.

The stock price of US$3.31 is like gold falling on the ground. If I don’t buy it, I feel a little sorry for my status as a time traveler.

This was considered an episode of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

…

On the day Lin Ying gave away Anthony's cell phone, he received a call from Anta.

They completed the acquisition of the operating rights of Fila China ahead of schedule and established a Fila China subsidiary!

Fila entered the Chinese market as early as 2005 and opened its first flagship store in Shanghai in 2006.

They increased their investment in this acquisition and defeated their main competitor Belle International.

Because of the emergence of Lin Ying, this wave of acquisitions was a full two years earlier than in history, and it happened to be stuck at this point in history when Belle was acquired.

However, what is different from history is that after the acquisition is completed this time, the subsidiary will use Fila's technology to develop Lin Ying's new sneakers as soon as possible.

Don't think Anta is in a hurry.

Putting aside the previous wave of popularity of Anta shoes, Lin Ying now wears a pair of shoes in games, which are the most popular in China.

Using their own high endorsement fees to advertise for others will make them feel sick after seeing it too much.

So even if they invest more money than expected, they must start this wave of research and development!

…

After the game against the Spurs, the Nuggets continued their away journey.

Their next stop is Phoenix, and their opponent is the Suns.

The Suns have 5 wins and 2 losses in 7 games so far, continuing the hot state of last season's playoffs.

This road trip for the Nuggets is not easy.

Not only was Lin Ying suspended, but Iverson's post-game MRI showed no major problems, but he had to be out for three days.

No more, no less, just missed this game against the Suns.

And at Karl's request, both Lin Ying and Iverson returned to Denver to prepare for the next home game against the Rockets.

Playing against the Suns will most likely be a tough battle for the Nuggets.

After getting off the plane, Carl organized basic training.

After the training, Anthony took out the iPhone given to him by Lin Ying and started playing with it.

He hadn't switched to BlackBerry because he was using it before, so now it's time to try it out.

After trying it, I couldn't put it down because its functions are not that powerful.

This is not surprising, after all, Apple 1 is an epoch-making product.

He soon took to social media to watch it.

But soon, his smile gradually disappeared.

Because he saw those comments about the Spurs game.

Lin Ying is more of a team leader than him?

He was extremely unhappy when he saw this sentence.

Especially that comment was echoed by many fans.

However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Ying because of this. Lin Ying's courtesy made him feel that this boy knew how to behave.

But the comments from these fans made him a little intolerable.
Chapter completed!
