虎扑07月23日讯 据相关消息源透露：朱芳雨离任广东男篮总经理岗位，周鹏将回归广东。
MACON, Ga. -- A South Carolina man previously convicted of smuggling protected turtles between the United States and Hong Kong faces new allegations of turtle-related crimes in Georgia. Bibb County sheriff's deputies arrested and jailed Steven Verren Baker, 43, of Holly Hill, South Carolina, on Tuesday and charged him with 15 felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.No lawyer was listed in Georgia court records for Baker, who remained jailed Friday with bail set at $8,250. His South Carolina lawyer has since died.Deputies were responding to a call about an abandoned dog in Macon when they noticed turtles being held in a basin nestled in a pile of trash, WMAZ-TV reports. They wrote in an incident report that a woman identified as Baker's mother told deputies that Baker had left the turtles with her about two months ago. The mother agreed to hand the turtles over to deputies, saying she had been unable to get her son to retrieve them.A veterinarian said the turtles were suffering from long-term malnutrition, bacterial and fungal infections, sepsis and shell deformities.The turtles included 11 rare albino red-eared sliders, one brown red-eared slider and two pink-bellied side necks. There was also a Chinese golden thread turtle, which is considered endangered in the wild, but is legal to breed in captivity.Baker pleaded guilty in 2018 to one count of conspiracy to smuggle wildlife in federal court in South Carolina after postal inspectors at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York found 46 turtles concealed among noodles and candy in four packages in early 2016. The turtles would be placed in socks and shipped through the mail in boxes labeled “snacks.”Five other men pleaded guilty in the South Carolina court case, but officials described Baker as the ringleader. Federal officials say Baker was sending turtles from the United States to Hong Kong, as well as receiving turtles from Hong Kong. It's illegal to trade turtles abroad without a permit when they are protected by a treaty called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.Baker served more than two years in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release that ended in April 2022.Baker was also ordered to forfeit $263,225, which is what officials said the turtles were worth.。
B | 对此，媒体人麦穗丰发文：球员时代的朱芳雨将全部18个赛季都奉献给了广东男篮，期间获得8次CBA总冠军、4次总决赛MVP和2次常规赛MVP，15次入选CBA全明星阵容，战功赫赫。2017年成为球队总经理以来，朱芳雨在任期内经手多次精彩且出色的球员阵容调整，包括但不限于召回苏伟、签约马尚和威姆斯等外援、帮助周琦“解套”、引进崔永熙和焦泊乔、对于陈家政等年轻球员的发掘。
C | 无论身份如何变化，朱芳雨对于广东篮球乃至中国篮球都是有大功劳的，他在球员时代是顶级的投手，在经理时代是一流的操盘手，他的功绩绝对不能被抹去。
D | 但职业体育就是铁打的营盘流水的兵，只有变化是永恒的。
E | 作为一个不断变得更职业的联赛，CBA的球员应该增加流动，教练和总经理当然也可以变动，哪怕是球队的功勋。更何况，选择永远是相互的，彼此觉得到了应该分开的时候，自然就会带着祝福告别。要说功勋离队，其实这样的事情一直在发生，并不局限于广东宏远，任何一个建立时间足够长的、拥有拿得出手的历史的俱乐部，都躲不开“更新换代”这四个字。相较于一些功勋还没退役或者一退役就彻底告别，朱芳雨和杜锋在广东宏远的生涯中已经足够辉煌，他们换了身份依旧能够带队拿到最高荣誉，再度攀登依旧站在金字塔尖，夫复何求？任何的重大调整都是伴随风险的，没有人能完美预测朱芳雨和杜锋离任之后的广东男篮的新局面，可能会比上赛季好，也可能比上赛季差，而竞技体育就是因为其不确定性而引人关注。而对于球队真正的球迷来说——注意是球迷，不是粉丝——这又是一个见证历史的机会，此时的惆怅和不舍，或许都会在未来的某一天化作一场平淡的闲聊。古今多少事，都付笑谈中。来源：微博
