Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 884 Eliminating Xiao Hua (Second Update!)
The fans' first reaction after seeing this tweet was, "Was Jenkins's Twitter account hacked?!"
After all, the league commissioner smearing the league's number one person?
It sounded unbelievable!
But they quickly realized that this idea was wrong, because evidence was attached below the tweet.
It was an email.
A document asking Jenkins to expose Tang Tian's dark history.
Although the email was sent from a burner account, the tone of the content was very close to Silver's.
Moreover, only the league has the ability to provide so much dark history to the media all at once.
After this tweet was released, social media exploded instantly.
"Is Silver crazy? And why is he maliciously smearing Tang? Isn't this shooting himself in the foot? Is it just because Tang dissed him in front of the media before?!"
"He must have been brainwashed by the Hand of God!"
"Or that's not the real Silver, but Arya Stark disguised as him! ( ̄_, ̄)"
(Note: Arya Stark is a character in "Game of Thrones," a disciple of Jaqen H'ghar, the "Faceless Man.")
"I think you all may have underestimated the impact of Tang's previous remarks. This is the first time the NBA president has been publicly questioned!"
"Now that you say that, Silver is so sinister. On the surface, he only fines you $25,000, but secretly hires someone to smear you! How scary!"
"Silver also wants face! I don't think this is a problem at all. If Jenkins hadn't confessed, who would have associated it with Silver?"
"That's true, Fox's news has always been like that, no one would associate it with Silver. It can only be said that Silver entrusted the wrong person!"
"As a Godfather fan, I'm so happy! Jenkins had a moment of conscience, he's a good guy!"
"Silver should step down! If such a league president continues to serve, the NBA will be finished sooner or later!"
……
Silver looked at the news reports, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.
He had known Jenkins for nearly ten years, and the two had always had a good relationship, which is why he was relieved to hand over the previous matter to him.
But he didn't expect Jenkins to betray him!
A moment of conscience?
Screw his moment of conscience!
He knew Jenkins better than anyone, that guy was just insatiable!
Insatiable…
He suddenly realized that he had made the biggest mistake. For an insatiable person, money could directly make him change his position!
It seemed that he had completely underestimated Tang Tian!
He thought Tang was just a player who only knew how to play basketball, and was not the same type of person as James at all, but in the end, he realized that Tang was more terrifying than he knew!
And this underestimation made him pay an irreversible and painful price.
Calm down, calm down.
He tried to calm himself down, he absolutely couldn't panic now.
After all, he had been in the NBA high-level for more than ten years, he couldn't panic just because things were exposed.
After calming down, he immediately called his assistant and told him to hold a press conference.
Silver was going to hold a press conference at this time, which immediately attracted the attention of all the media.
At the New York headquarters, the press conference site was packed with reporters.
If this matter ultimately turned out to be Silver smearing Tang Tian, then he, the president, would definitely not be able to continue.
"That wasn't me."
Silver's first sentence denied Jenkins's tweet.
"Obviously, someone is deliberately imitating the way I speak. I have no reason to smear Tang. His contribution to the league now is huge. As the league president, I have no reason to do that."
"I have never been an unmagnanimous person. Just like Tang complained about the league's refereeing issues before, I just punished him according to the rules. I am not a person who seeks revenge, I am not that kind of person."
"I don't know why Jenkins did that. Maybe he was coerced, or maybe, you know, Fox Sports' previous news reports caused a lot of damage to Tang's personal image. Tang has a lot of fans, and we can't ensure whether there are a few extremists among them."
"If necessary, I will accept the league's investigation to prove my innocence, and I hope the law can give those who smear me the punishment they deserve."
……
Silver's attitude at the press conference was quite straightforward.
I didn't do it, everything has nothing to do with me.
And it's true that anyone can forge emails, as he said.
You can't just say it was him because he and Jenkins know each other, and then Jenkins said there was such an email.
With this, Silver pushed things away completely, and Jenkins, who posted the tweet, became the original sin.
Moreover, Silver is really cautious in his work. He used a burner account to send emails to Jenkins. If you really want to investigate, as long as he refuses to admit it, it's fine.
The situation was reversed by Silver at once.
The ginger is still old and spicy.
However, not long after Silver's press conference ended, Jenkins reacted quickly and posted a new tweet.
It was a recording.
Silver was cautious. After confirming Jenkins's attitude by email, he met with Jenkins privately.
When it comes to money, it must be a cash transaction without leaving a trace.
When the two communicated, Jenkins was very sincere and turned off the tape recorder he was carrying in front of Silver before talking.
But both Karl and Silver underestimated Jenkins.
This guy's recording equipment is not just a tape recorder.
He recorded the content of his conversation with Silver with other things. In this, $50,000 and dark history are all involved.
The reason why Jenkins didn't take it out immediately was because bribery is a serious crime in the United States.
But Silver shirked responsibility and threw the blame on him, how could he sit still and wait for death.
To put it bluntly, $50,000 is a small amount, and you can get bail in the United States. He is not afraid of this at all with the ten million that Tang Tian gave him.
On the other hand, Silver, who was originally just maliciously smearing others, has now directly become bribing.
With this, he, the league president, will not be able to continue anyway.
Originally, Jenkins and Silver had their own opinions, and no one knew what the truth of the matter was, but this recording directly killed the game.
With this, Silver is confirmed to have smeared Tang Tian, and also brought bribery with him.
There's no way he can run away from this.
Watching the wonderful battle on Twitter, Tang Tian and Karl were sitting leisurely in the living room of the manor at this time.
They thought Silver would have many ways to deal with it, but it seemed that they still overestimated Silver.
Jenkins directly killed it.
