Chapter 100: The Support of the Great Gods From All Walks of Life!
The preseason clash between the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks quickly became the headlines and the topic of discussion after the game.
The game was interrupted for nearly half an hour.
"New York Chronicle" believes that Lin Yi's first NBA game played at a very high level. At the same time, this newspaper spent a lot of space condemning Zaza Pachulia's bad behavior, and they matched a picture of Yao Ming being locked up. Throat pictures to prove that Pachulia is not a first-time offender.
The media in New York wisely didn't mention Dodge Norris and El Barron, who beat people up. The Knicks finally got such a player with a chic style of play and fans like it, and they actually want to abolish him? Isn't this looking for scolding?
The "Atlanta Post" believes that Zaza Pachulia did not do it on purpose, and the two New York Knicks players should be severely punished. Very unprofessional and should be banned.
The Atlanta media thought that their players were the ones who were beaten, and public opinion would sympathize with them, but they did not expect that the statements of the Atlanta media were criticized by various NBA gods!
Stephen Curry, who was maliciously stepped on in college, said: "Zaza Pachulia's action is definitely intentional. This action is very bad! It is very likely that Lin will be reimbursed for this season. The league must prohibit such malicious fouls .”
If the elementary school students are not prestigious enough, his father Dell Curry also expressed his views through the media: "It is really hard to imagine that there will be such an action in the NBA. This action is extremely bad. If the league does not prohibit such punishment , there will be more incidents on the footsteps."
Vince Carter, Dell Curry's teammate in the Raptors, said: "Obviously, Zaza Pachulia was intentional. I don't think it was an accident. Fortunately, Lin was not injured. He's a great big man, I've played with Yi in the Nets, and the Chinese players are very friendly and hardworking."
Yao Ming, who was recuperating from his injuries, hurriedly called to inquire after hearing about Lin Yi's accident. After confirming that Lin Yi was fine, Dayao said through the media: "People of the yellow race have never received real attention in the NBA. Most of the time, opponents hang on The referee won't call for a foul when I'm on my shoulder, Zaza Pachulia once locked my roar, but it didn't matter, I have to say, I'm very disappointed."
The star of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, also hated the footsteps, "This is a murder! I sympathize with Lin for what happened to him. I believe the league will have a fair punishment."
Durant, who played for the Thunder, was also stepped on by his opponent last season. Fortunately, he avoided that time. "Zaza Pachulia's behavior is disgusting. This is a blasphemy of basketball! He should be banned for life!" "
Cavaliers star LeBron James also stood up, "In the 2007 finals, I was plotted against. That time, the opponent just failed to succeed. Lin is a good guy. The league must give a fair penalty."
One stone caused a thousand waves, and many active and retired NBA gods and celebrities spoke one after another to condemn Zaza Pachulia's behavior.
Lin Yi has also seen this kind of thing. In his memory, after the slag stepped on the foot, all the news the next day was spraying Zaza Pachulia. To put it bluntly, the footstep and the black elbow are the same. You live by playing basketball. You are trying to ruin someone else's career. This time it happened to Lin Yi. What if one day it's their turn to be stepped up?
Moreover, the active outside players have basically suffered from the dark losses of stepping, and everyone hates stepping.
You must know that when playing wild ball, a deliberate stepping is enough to trigger a large-scale group fight.
For a while, everyone was cheering for New York, but people forgot that it was Zaza Pachulia who was beaten and hospitalized. Originally, the Eagles had prepared a video of Zaza Pachulia being hospitalized after being beaten to prove that Nick How cruel and excessive the players are,
But the management of the Eagles was stupid. They didn't expect that they would stand on the opposite side of the entire league all of a sudden.
After discussing with the owner, the management of the Eagles decided that even if Zaza Pachulia can play this season, he will not be allowed to play in the regular season. They will announce that Zaza Pachulia will be reimbursed for the season. Now Zaza Pachulia Asia has become the league's public enemy, and the Eagles don't want to become a thorn in the side of the league's top brass.
David Stern convened a meeting of the league management overnight to discuss the punishment decision. The two who fought in New York must be punished to a certain extent. Zaza Pachulia’s suspension will not escape. Whether Yi should be punished additionally or not, after a final discussion, the result of the punishment was announced soon.
Dodge Norris of the New York Knicks was suspended 30 games and fined $50,000.
El Baron of the New York Knicks was suspended for 20 games and fined $50,000.
Zaza Pachulia of the Atlanta Hawks was suspended for 10 games and fined $50,000.
El Baron was given a lighter penalty because he only grabbed Zaza Pachulia and was an accomplice.
Finally, after a unanimous decision by the alliance, Lin Yi was fined 10,000 U.S. dollars for the reason of inappropriate remarks.
To put it bluntly, it is to give you a stick in New York, but also give you a candy to eat. Once the penalty result came out, Lin Yi also became one of the few players in NBA history who threatened the referee or even angrily denounced the result of the referee but was not suspended.
Lin Yi also knew in his heart that the NBA and him would not fall apart. In the history of the NBA, there are many stars who threatened referees in various ways. To put it bluntly, this is not arrogance, but to defend their own rights. Excessive low-key will only attract opponents and referees to look down on you more and more. The NBA has never belonged to honest people.
Although Zaza Pachulia was only suspended for ten games, the Eagles announced the news of his season reimbursement as soon as the punishment was announced. The Eagles did not want to be the target of public criticism and the public enemy of the league.
Stern also convened a meeting of referee representatives overnight, and he made it clear that he did not want to see the stepping thing happen in the new season.
The referees understood what Stern meant, and Lin Yi became the person who changed the rules invisibly. The league would not introduce new regulations for stepping until the 2017/2018 season.
In fact, things like stepping on purpose are very detrimental. The Spurs have been hacked frequently because Bowen has been hacked. Stern has always hated malicious fouls, so stepping on purpose has disappeared for a while. Stern is not Silver after all. He knows Weigh the pros and cons, and punish severely when you know it is time to punish.
After the league's penalty results came out, Lin Yi spoke through the media immediately, saying that he would pay the fines for Dodge Norris and El Baron, and he would also pay for the wages deducted by the two teammates during the suspension period. make up.
LeBron James immediately praised Lin Yi's actions, "Good job, Lin! No brothers, no basketball!"
Many NBA stars agree with Lin Yi's approach very much. At the same time, the Knicks officially stated that they will not cut Dodge Norris and El Baron this season.
This is the suggestion given by Javier Stanford. Although the boss Dolan doesn't like players who fight and make trouble, after all, there is a reason for this incident, so he agreed.
For a time, the owner of the fight not only got a paid vacation, but also became a hero in New York, while the scheming boy who was lying down became the target of criticism.
Chinese netizens praised Lin Yi's actions one after another. During this period, Chinese netizens have realized that humility and low-key don't work in the United States. You have to do it when you have to, otherwise people will think you are a coward.
Some Lin Hei thought that Lin Yi's actions were too arrogant and degrading, and soon this group of people were scolded. Seeing that they were wronged, these blacks never dared to speak out.
Lin Yi himself didn't know that after this battle, not only would no one say that he was soft in the future, but even many fans thought he was a bit cruel.
As soon as he entered the league, he dared to hate referees, and as soon as he entered the league, he had a group of iron-blooded younger brothers, and all kinds of brutal alley-oops in the game...
So after Asia Durant, Big Devil, New York New Magician, Lin Yi got a new nickname.
"Big Hardwood".
Lin Yi: ORZ.
