Center first

Chapter 455
It was a melancholy night, a night that many people did not sleep well. After more than ten hours, the sky in New York finally dawned. There's an outcome, and whether it's good or bad, there's going to be an inflection point, with Miami praying that the league's supreme ruler doesn't throw a death blow at the Heat, and New York hoping the one that's given them constant nightmares The big man is going to hell from today, but more reporters want to catch some shadows that may appear behind this incident.

Especially David Stein's strictness on the NBA's implementation of game discipline. After all, he has dealt with absolute signature players like Wade and James seriously. Now, will he treat a new generation of tomorrow's stars like Lin Yi? He will continue to implement his iron-fisted policy on field discipline, and once he catches the end, he will not wait for severe punishment. As many people have estimated, in order to retain some commercial interests, he will relax the punishment for that big man, just like he once did for him. "Melon" Carmelo Anthony made the same decision after hitting someone on the field, only slightly punished.

All those who followed this incident were waiting for the press conference at the NBA headquarters with too many doubts, and now the NBA officials have made it clear that this time the conference will be hosted by David Stein himself, he will Read out the decision about the conflict on the field personally. You must know that this old man has rarely directly intervened in such matters. It seems that this sudden incident really made this old man feel difficult.

David Stein walked into the press conference hall of the NBA headquarters under the eyes of too many people. He could feel how heavy the pressure was on the thin piece of paper in his hand. The result of the urgent consultation among the high-level members of the disciplinary committee, the balance of interests, the game of forces behind it, including the estimation of losses at various levels, all these cumbersome things seem to be things that he often has to face. However, such a busy night was indeed a bit long for him, and even he felt powerless for the first time. The increasingly diverse NBA world has begun to make him exhausted, and the supreme ruler has also begun to feel Realizing that his energy is gradually losing, he no longer has the kind of drive he had when he entered the top position in the NBA. If there are more such things, he may become even older.

"In view of the violent behavior of Lin Yi, a member of the Miami Heat, the league fined him $30 and suspended him for 10 games. During the suspension, Lin Yi was not allowed to engage in any basketball-related activities. And the New York Knicks The Sri Lankan team failed to effectively stop the deterioration of the environment around the game, and it also has an unshirkable responsibility. In view of this, the Madison Garden Arena needs to pay a fine of 10 US dollars, and Michael Beasley, one of the parties involved, also has to pay for the conflict. Part of the responsibility for the incident was dealt with by suspending ten games.” When David Stein finished reading the punishment decision, the entire press audience was not only amazed, but also dissatisfied. For an individual player, the high fine is almost reaching the limit of the league for punishing a player, but at the same time, a ten-game ban will be imposed, which is not as long as the on-field brawl between Wade and the Little Emperor , you know that even those two superstars have to pay more than 15 games of suspension, this kid is only suspended for such a short period of time after finishing the fight under the eyes of everyone?This may be where many New Yorkers feel dissatisfied. Could this guy use money to buy the suspension period?

The reporters belonging to the New York Knicks have taken the lead. They don't understand why the guy who beat him into a coma is given such preferential treatment. Is it because that guy is the future development target of the league?In other words, the influence of the Miami Heat's investment consortium forced David Stein to make such a decision. They hoped to get a clear answer from the old man, even if it was an obvious perfunctory one.

They also hope to hear the old man give his own explanation. After all, no one believes that this punishment is fair. At least for New Yorkers, they cannot accept such a decision. Reimbursement is only allowed during the regular season. Don't forget, that is not a beating, but a real injury. They have a detailed report on Beasley's injury in their hands, which is completely enough to be a serious personal injury.

New Yorkers have their dissatisfaction, and the representatives of Miami also have their own criticisms, especially the old man Pat Riley, he doesn't care what the occasion is, for being face to face with a guy like David Stein He has never been afraid of confrontation. The old fox knows what his qualifications in the league mean, and he also knows what kind of ability the old guy on the opposite side has. However, this will not prevent him from facing David Stein in public. He did not want to be the first to fire, so he was looking for an opportunity, and the outbreak of the New York media gave him this opportunity, especially when New Yorkers started to make loud noises, The old fox moved.

Pat Riley took the media clips of what Beasley said while provoking Lin Yi, and started his own strong questioning in person. He didn't know what such insults meant to the league's field discipline. Didn't anyone Is it stipulated that trash talk should also be punished?Why is there no punishment for this guy now? You must know that Lin Yi is also a victim in this matter. He must bear the abuse and insults from the entire Madison Garden Arena, and he even needs to bear the pain of someone pointing at him face to face. Nose cursed that his girlfriend would definitely sleep with someone else in the future.

Pat Riley asked the mouthpieces of the New York Knicks in a very provocative tone, "Can you allow others to say that about your girlfriend? Or is your girlfriend open to such an extent?" Lin Yi's aggressive behavior on the field is nothing more than a man defending his girlfriend, and at the same time defending his own dignity. There is nothing wrong with it. What is wrong with chop suey? Please note that it is chop suey. Pat Riley will not hesitate to say some radical words at this time. If possible, he hopes that these people can focus their firepower on himself. Lin Yi relieved a lot of pressure.

Such questioning made those New York reporters try to change the topic. They wanted to focus on Lin Yibai instead of directing the firepower to that hapless Beasley, although even these New York reporters would In private, they said that the bastard really deserved the beating, but as New Yorkers, they have to speak from the heights of this city, especially on such an occasion.

This kind of evidence is more to meet the needs of those media people in country Z. They need such revelations too much. No matter how this matter will be handled, they are just spectators, but this will not prevent them Newspapers and magazines are going to make a lot of publicity, especially those media that need these news explosions to attract others' attention, and they want to put Pat Riley's revelations in the first place, not to mention that such a thing is very important to them In other words, it may even enhance Lin Yi's active position in this conflict. No one wants to miss such an opportunity.

Although Pat Riley knew that such a defense might not bring about any change, and even the amount of the fine would not be reduced by a penny, he didn't mind at all using the sharpest tone to start a war in the public, He has made it clear that he is ready to solve the problem in the Court of Arbitration for Sport. He needs to appeal to the higher authorities, and he needs to have the most pungent debate with the senior officials of the Disciplinary Committee. He dare not do anything, not to mention that he doesn't think they are at fault in this matter, especially when MR. A face-to-face battle with those alliance executives.

He doesn't expect that such a confrontation will change any decision, but he hopes that such an approach can make Lin Yi the focus of public opinion in the entire NBA. The ten-game suspension is still an acceptable loss for Miami now, but for the future. The old fox has already started to plan things, he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again, especially in key games in the future, such as when the playoffs start, he believes that Lin Yi himself has a strong self-control, but the NBA's sudden There will be many incidents, such as this conflict, so he needs the top executives of the league to always remember this kid, what is the NBA's All-Star Rule?That is when you are being watched by everyone, even the whistle of the referee will relax a little bit for you. This is the priority treatment that superstars should receive on the court. Pat Riley hopes that such a thing can bring The advantage of Lin Yi is that at least he needs some people to think about the possible troubles before blowing the whistle, for example, there are old lunatics like him in Miami.

David Stein is not clear about Pat Riley's thoughts, but he has made enough concessions. After all, the ten-game suspension is already his bottom line. He originally hoped to use a large fine instead. Some people questioned it, but now it seems that this approach has not been satisfied by any party, and even his punishment offended two teams at the same time. Alas, this annoying decision is always unsatisfactory. But now the old man can't think of any good solution, should he redefine the punishment?Just kidding, you know that Pat Riley is still trying to change this, David Stein doesn't want that guy to have any chance to take advantage of it.

The entire Miami Heat team, from the owner to the players, has made their attitude very clear, and their external caliber is also very consistent. These people will never think that Lin Yi's performance on the court is the revelation of his violent side, and it is precisely because of this little guy The forbearance and restraint on the field made too many people think that they had the opportunity to violate Lin Yi's rights. Such a conflict was completely unnecessary trouble caused by Mike D'Antoni, and Spoelstra even made it public. He accused that sanctimonious guy on TV, "The bad players are always brought out by even more bad coaches!", but this guy didn't expect that this sentence would be tampered with by others, "Rogue players are always more rogue coaches!" Brought out.", a very vivid sentence, revealing a thorough feeling from the inside to the outside, this is definitely a kind of retribution, whoever makes the Filipinos a hooligan.

The wrestling at the press conference continued, especially the frenzied verbal dispute between the two sides of the media, which has begun to overwhelm David Stein. However, the most troublesome thing may still be the direct confrontation between the two cities, the battle between New York and Miami. At this moment, the time is almost completely tense, especially their respective fan associations are constantly updating each other's official forums with offensive remarks. In the end, even the maintenance staff gave up and continued to struggle. It is obviously hopeless, especially when there are many quasi-expert hackers among the supporters of the teams on both sides, the frequent attack density It's just driving people crazy.

Maybe even Miami and Cleveland didn't have such antagonism back then, but this can't blame these fans. After all, the relationship between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks has been tied for more than ten years. From the era of Mourning and Ewing they This kind of hand-to-hand combat has already begun. The two teams have already fought twice in the arena, and both of them were in the playoffs. Whenever there is a game, they are always attacking everything about the opponent. At that time, the relationship between the two cities has become very tense, between fans and fans, between players and players, Even their general manager and even the president will look down on each other. Almost no fans dare to go to the opponent's arena to support the team. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that you will still be able to walk from there alive Come out, but when their respective teams are away from the playoffs, that kind of hatred has begun to gradually fade, especially after the Miami Heat won a championship, the long-sinking New York Knicks have already Not on their revenge list.

The grievances that had begun to slowly settle down completely exploded at this moment, and Sam Smith's wanton attack on TV with his big mouth obviously not only annoyed the guys on the Miami Heat, but also made the previous bad guys angry. Those scumbags from the Children's Legion were all enraged, because old Chuck was still lying on the hospital bed in a deep coma, and this guy's insinuating way of criticizing had already started to bring up his previous feud with old Chuck on the table. Said that he thought it was just a kind of pressure to influence the league's punishment decision, but he didn't think that those bad boys have started to become more cunning and hooligan, and his remarks are bound to make him annoyed. Very big trouble, when you mess with a bastard like Rodman, you must think about your own way out in advance, or God can guarantee that you will die very ugly.

But the most unlucky person is probably that Beasley who is still lying in the hospital because of dizziness, and now he has no suspense on the top of the list of the most unpopular people in Miami. If this guy has the guts to come to Miami now If it happens, someone will guarantee that this guy will never have a chance to leave here alive. This is definitely not just talk, because some extreme fans have already thrown a box of double-barreled shotgun bullets into his mailbox. And tell this guy very clearly that this will be the type of bullet that blows his head. This is definitely not a joke. As long as he dares to set foot on the land of Miami again, he must be ready to be killed directly from behind at any time. A criminal investigation into such a thing has even started, but this may only be for show, no one knows who did such a thing, not to mention that the NBA doesn't really want to find out such a person, otherwise If not, there may be even bigger troubles waiting for them. After all, it is a serious crime to issue death threats.

It's not just that the fans started to hate this big-mouthed person, because Pat Riley released the clip edited by the reporter, in which the few terrible words that Beasley said to Lin Yi before leaving the field were all I have heard it very clearly, especially the paragraph about Taylor and Lin Yuwei, which can be said to be almost word for word marked in various newspapers and online media. At this time, Taylor's powerful support team also showed their power, and they vowed to Go kill the person who insulted the little princess Taylor. If Lin Yi gave him a concussion and a half-cracked jaw on the court, then what Taylor's fans want to give him is a cemetery. A good cemetery can be big enough to hold this miscellaneous corpse.

This kind of gunpowder began to pervade between the two cities. Maybe even David Stein did not expect such a situation, especially his punishment decision that he had thought about for a long time, was complained by both sides at the same time. David Stein's head is already getting bigger. He really doesn't know how to appease the top management of these two teams. After all, one side has more explosive evidence, while the other side has started to use New York's media advantage to start a large-scale Bombing reports, especially James Dolan is also very good at using his cable TV network to do such promotional activities, because he feels that he is the one who has been wronged, not only because he lost a very painful game, but also Several players were caught and couldn't play the game.

No one likes to suffer, but David Stein's high pressure will also properly remind these two teams, this is still the NBA under his rule, don't really make this old guy anxious, otherwise, it will be a bit inexplicable He will not be responsible for the problems that arise, but the bridge between the two cities has been completely closed, and no one will try to resolve such enmity, because the NBA sometimes needs confrontation and this kind of hatred.

However, the protagonist of this matter must stay in Miami now because he has been banned from participating in anything related to NBA games, but he did not choose to rest at home because too many reporters have closely monitored his residence , he can only temporarily live in Rogge's home in Miami, and he is also waiting for the arrival of two people. He is sitting in the living room of Rogge's house, looking at the two text messages on his mobile phone, which were sent almost at the same time. They came here, and even the content is almost the same, "Wait for me...", the only difference is that they are from Taylor and Lin Yuwei respectively, Lin Yizhen doesn't know if this is a blessing or a curse. . .

(My relative is seriously ill. The updates for the past few days will be like this for the time being. I will post them automatically every day. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can leave me a message in the book review area. I hope you can forgive me. I really don’t have time What to change, I have to take care of it in the hospital... sorry...)
