Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 273. Handing over Yi Jianlian to Lambir, Zen master Jackson's downfall
The Grizzlies slaughtered the Bucks with 45 points at home, setting a record for the largest point difference this season.

However, this is not the place that attracts the most attention from the fans. Instead, what made the fans discuss after the game is Yi Jianlian's behavior of beating Bogut angrily and smashing the bridge of his nose to a comminuted fracture.

According to the news given by the Bucks team doctor, Bogut's injury is not optimistic. I am afraid that the cartilage on his ribs needs to be repaired, and he will become very fragile after the injury.

For a blue-collar center who needs to use physical confrontation to eat, Bogut's injury is undoubtedly quite serious.

Although unlike ankle and knee injuries, which may allow players to retire directly on the spot, this also greatly limits Bogut's future physical confrontation in the interior.

Even when encountering people with ulterior motives, I'm afraid they will take the initiative to attack Bogut's fragile bridge of the nose and use aggressive means to seek victory.

In any case, Bogut will lie in a hospital bed for a long time to recuperate.

For Bogut, who had just experienced an ankle injury season reimbursement last season, he will miss most of the games again this season, which undoubtedly made the management completely impatient.

Originally, the Bucks management put Bogut on the shelves without restraint, hoping to use Bogut in exchange for some better bargaining chips.

But now with Bogut being injured again, Bogut's transaction value may continue to shrink, and even no one cares about it in the transaction market.

As the assailant who beat Bogut angrily on the field, Yi Jianlian was also pushed to the forefront.

It's just that compared to Artest, who just beat Bowen a few days ago, Yi Jianlian is obviously more cared by outside fans.

Fans who are familiar with Yi Jianlian are well aware that Bogut's severe beating has already begun to show signs of being able to drive such a humble and quiet player to the point of insanity.

And after the replay of the game, it was found that the conflict between Yi Jianlian and Bogut was completely provoked by Bogut, and even the shot was Bogut's first attack.

Yi Jianlian is more like a counterattack in place to protect himself, but the stress behavior is relatively large and has a relatively bad impact.

In this regard, many fans outside are discussing that the Grizzlies have fought two consecutive fights in just one week. This frequency is really exaggerated.

Before Artest's seven-game suspension was over, Yi Jianlian exposed another extremely bad fight.

The strength of the Grizzlies this season has not only caused headaches for their opponents, but now even their temper has caused panic among the teams, for fear that if they are not careful, they will become the backdrop for the Grizzlies' next on-court fight.

In response to this field fight, the league also responded quickly and announced the punishment result as soon as possible.

Compared with Artest's unilateral suspension last time, this time the league suspended Bogut and Yi Jianlian one after another.

Among them, Bogut, who took the initiative to find trouble, was suspended for five games and fined $[-].

However, due to the bad influence, Yi Jianlian beat Bogut beyond recognition. Although he had no choice but to fight Bogut, he was also suspended for five games and fined [-] US dollars.

In addition, Grizzlies head coach Luke was also verbally warned by the league, and assistant coach Lambir was fined $[-] by the league.

The reason is that while Bogut was crazily beaten by Yi Jianlian, Lambiel applauded unscrupulously off the court, and the hideousness on his face seriously affected the image of the league.

In this regard, the league simply punished Bill Lambir together.

As for the verbal warning to Luke, it is hoped that the Grizzlies will restrain themselves a little later.

Since the start of the league, less than half a month has passed, and two players from the Grizzlies have been suspended, and there have been two on-field fights with relatively bad influence. This frequency even the league can't stand it.

Seeing the punishment results announced by the league, Lambiel, who is a rich second generation, didn't care about the fine at all, but the league punished himself together, so Lambiel couldn't help but burst out, "Fuck! I don't care if I applaud. What else?"

"If I had known that I would be fined, I should have rushed into the arena to make up two punches!"

Seeing Lambiel's face of suffering, Jafaroni beside him showed a hint of helplessness, "In fact, the alliance is still biased towards us. Yi beat Andrew so miserably, and he was only suspended for five games."

"Warning with the coaching staff is more of a signal, a signal of severely punishing the Grizzlies to appease the Bucks."

"It's just that your performance was too eye-catching and became a breakthrough for the league from the inside of the Grizzlies."

"If you really rushed into the field and beat the players, it would be a big deal."

Lambiel still had a hint of poverty on his face, "I can't spend this ten thousand dollars in vain. Next time I meet a buck, I have to return the ten thousand dollars!"

After retiring, Lambiel has restrained his temper a lot, but once something happens, Lambiel will still turn into that demon back then.

It's no wonder that he can appreciate Artest so much because of his fiery temper. The two guys really smell like each other when put together.

The appearance of Lambiel made Jafaroni not know what to say, and he couldn't fan the flames from the sidelines, telling Lambiel, "Hit me! Hit me hard!"

"Bill, if you don't have anything to do, you can rest for a few days." On the main seat, Luke, who had been silent all this time, tapped on the table.

"Lu! What do you mean!" Hearing that Luke seemed to mean that he was suspended from the team, Lambiel stood up directly.

Although the roar was deafening, and the fierce expression on his face looked like he was about to quarrel, Lambiel always treated Luke with respect.

"Sit down." Luke frowned and said flatly.

Even though he had a lot of words to defend, Ranbir sat back on the sofa with a depressed expression.

"The benefits that the Grizzlies have created for the league are visible to the naked eye, and the league has always favored the Grizzlies in this matter."

"There is no other meaning in letting you rest for a few days. It is good for everyone to give the league a higher level."

"The most important thing is that both Yi and Ron are currently under suspension, especially Yi, who just joined the team and has no ball to play. You may have to work hard during this period, and take care of this guy."

"Although he was tough enough in the last game, if he wants to survive in the NBA where there are many villains, it is not enough to just know how to fight back."

"I don't want him to become what you were back then, but at least he has to change his indecisive character."

Hearing the explanation given by Luke, Lambiel was relieved, and after thinking about Luke's tougher game tactics than himself, Lambiel realized that he was a little too worried just now.

The reason why I can get along so well with Luke is precisely because of the compatible personalities and the methods that leave no room for the enemy.

"To be honest, I don't want to train that brat anymore. Relatively speaking, Ron is more in line with my appetite. This guy's bones are naturally full of violence."

"It's a pity that he was born a few years late, otherwise he wouldn't have experienced so many suspensions." After sighing, Lambir waved his hand reluctantly, "But since you speak, leave that kid to me."

"But it was agreed in advance that after handing him over to me, I must control all his training. No matter how much he cries to you, you are not allowed to intervene in this matter."

Nodding calmly, Luke didn't care about how Lambiel trained Yi Jianlian, nor did he care about how Yi Jianlian would be treated.

As an inside player who wants to make a name for himself in the NBA, if he can't bear even this, the word success is destined to miss him.

The NBA has never lacked talented players, but there are only a few players who can use their talents to succeed. Often the players who stand at the top of the league, in addition to their talents, they also have the perseverance to overcome all difficulties.

…………

After defeating the Bucks, the Grizzlies ushered in several consecutive away games and will stay in the East for a while.

On the road trip, the Grizzlies first completed a 26-point slaughter against the Washington Wizards, and then beat the Raptors by 7 points in back-to-back the next day.

After these two games, the Grizzlies' opening record has reached [-] wins and [-] losses. While continuing to secure the No. [-] position in the league, only the Grizzlies and the Celtics have not experienced defeat in the entire league.

It is worth mentioning that in one more game, Artest, who was suspended in the opening game, will usher in a comeback. For the defending champion Grizzlies, this is obviously good news.

As for the Cavaliers led by LeBron James, they lost to the Knicks led by Phil Jackson not long ago.

It was this victory that made Zen Master, who had only played one win and four losses at the start of the game, screamed, saying that the Knicks have the strength to beat any team in the league, but the season has just started, and the team needs to adjust, so the record is more ugly .

And the "Zen Master" who managed to win a victory made a mistake of his liking to "pretend to force". He pointed out the many mistakes made by the Cavaliers coach Mike Brown on the court, and the inference that the Cavaliers will not be able to succeed this season .

Jackson, who coached the Knicks this season, is really miserable. The team obviously has many good stars, but they just can't play as expected in the game.

There is a lack of top shooting guards in the league such as Jordan and Kobe Bryant. This season, "Zen Master" Jackson's main triangle offense can only pin his hopes on Crawford.

The blessing of the triangle offense allowed Crawford, who was already good at offense, to take off in place, but Crawford was not suitable to be used as the core of the team for construction.

Although Jamal Crawford averaged 20 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists per game last season, the defensive end and only 41% shooting rate really made the "Zen Master" a headache.

But before he chose to join the Knicks during the offseason, Jackson had already talked a lot.

Said that the new season will definitely lead this perennial bottom team in the Eastern Conference to the playoffs, but now it seems that this goal, which is not a big goal, is almost close to the death of "Zen Master" Jackson.

Crawford's playing style is inherently "lone wolf", and he is more suitable to play the role of a sixth man grabbing points on the court.

But now with "Zen Master" Jackson directly pushing Crawford to the star position, the entire Knicks' offensive rotation is simply a mess.

It has been completely reduced to a singles team that relies on individual ability to score.

Looking at the Knicks who are still in the same picture under him, Jackson has already started to think silently.

Think about what kind of excuse I can find, so that I can leave this team decently without losing face, so as to avoid leading the team to the playoffs and ruining my reputation.

Jackson is already making plans for himself. It's not that Jackson is not confident enough in his coaching ability, but because he has no confidence in the Knicks. They don't have many top stars under him. Jackson always feels that he has no idea.

At least in "Zen Master" Jackson's personal cognition, the Knicks' failure to produce results this season is not his own problem at all, but the team's problem.

But before Jackson figured out how to leave the team decently, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, who was looked down upon by the "Zen Master" after the game, took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Winning the next game doesn't mean anything. Some people always rely on their past qualifications to show off their power. This is really not what a successful coach should do."

"Climbing from the west to the east in embarrassment, I don't know what excuses I will find this time to shirk responsibility."

"If I remember correctly, before taking office, some people set the goal to the outside world to lead the team to the playoffs."

"To be honest, I am looking forward to your performance, but what makes me look forward to it even more is how much you have left the top star."

Pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Mike Brown made no effort to hide his sarcasm. "You won't be so lucky next time. In the west, you were beaten like a dog by someone. When you come to the east, this is also not a place where you can run wild."

"Even though you were brilliant back then, it was only back then!"
