full court guidance

Chapter 32 The first day of recommendation, please recommend for collection

The on-duty referee Oliver Wright was also stunned. He didn't react until Garnett was knocked out, and immediately gave Late and Garnett a second-level malicious foul, and both were sent off.

The Timberwolves players had completely lost their morale, and they didn't even dare to go to the referee on duty to argue. The Rockets players surrounded the latecomers and sent them off like heroes.

Correspondingly, the well-known tough guy Garnett in the league was taken out on a stretcher-in fact, being late did not cause him much harm, and the fainting time was not long, but Garnett couldn't bear it, so he had to continue Pretending to be dizzy.

No one cared about the results of the game, and even TNT TV had no interest in the rest of the game. Barkley and Smith had an in-depth discussion on the issue of late combat effectiveness.

Kenny Smith asked: "Charles, if you were to fight Garnett, what would you do?"

"Of course, we should throw him to the ground first, and then use our advantages in body and strength to deal consecutive blows to him, but it is definitely impossible to look as elegant and calm as late."

Barkley said bluntly: "I think being late may be the most effective among all players in the NBA. We fight with physical fitness, and fighting late is with effort. I believe he did not exhaust himself against Garnett. Go all out, otherwise Garnett, that softie, might be directly beaten to death by him."

The TV stations in the United States are so powerful. Barkley speaks without any scruples, and instead attracts more viewers. Some of them got the news later. When they turned on the TV, they could still see the camera edited by TNT TV station.

In the slow motion, Kevin Garnett looked ferocious, and he looked like he wanted to eat people. Being late as the passive counterattack, he looked super relaxed, as if he was facing a child's slapstick.

At the moment of being late to make a shot, TNT TV even edited multi-angle, all-round cameras, fully presenting the entire action process of being late.

Before the game was over, being late made headlines.

ESPN sports column report: "NBA Stadium Violence Reappears, Chinese Kungfu Defeats MVP!" "

Sports Illustrated: "A multi-talented scientist, showing real skills on the court!" "

A number of media reported what happened on the court immediately, because TNT temporarily added the game, and almost all TV viewers could see that Garnett was the first to become angry and take the initiative. According to US law, Being late is purely self-defense.

Even so, the media believes that the league will definitely issue a heavy fine for being late.

The reason is very simple. On November 11 last year, the Pacers broke out at home in the most serious gang fight in history. Because fans were involved, the league's fines were so heavy that it made people who had the strength to compete for the championship The strength of the Pacers has plummeted, and the dejected old shooter Reggie Miller has sadly announced that he will retire after the end of this season.

Since David Stern came to power, the league has been committed to creating a civilized and progressive basketball world. Before he came to power, more than half of NBA players were criminals. Fighting and fighting were commonplace, and taking drugs and XX was taken for granted.

Since the beginning of the new century, the image of the NBA has undergone major changes, but the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, which made the league finally establish an image, seems to be returning to the appearance of the 80s.

Now that he was late to fight Garnett again, he was obviously suspected of committing a crime against the wind.

The good news is that there were only the two of them fighting this time. Because everything happened so suddenly, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides was huge, and the dispute ended so quickly that the other players almost didn't react, and they didn't become the direct part of this fight. participants.

Some media predict that Garnett will face a 15-30 game suspension and a huge fine. Being late is a self-defense counterattack, but directly knocking Garnett out is a bit out of line, and may also be subject to a 10-20 game suspension.

This is tantamount to worsening the situation for the Timberwolves. They are still fighting for this year's playoffs. Without Garnett, the team's defensive core, it means that their efforts for the first half of the season will be in vain. Te is one of the highest-paid players in the league. Once the suspension exceeds 20 games, his loss will be unexpected.

If you are suspended late, it will have an impact on the Rockets' offensive efficiency, but it is difficult to affect the Rockets' team record.

At present, the top three in the Western Conference are the Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks (Lone Ranger). The Supersonics can enter the top three by virtue of their divisional championship advantage. The Rockets are still 4 games away from the Mavericks. With the combination of Tracy McGrady, they can also steadily get the fifth place in the Western Conference. It is basically confirmed that they will play against the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.

The game entered halftime, and the Rockets players returned to the locker room. Everyone was not in the mood to pay attention to the next game, and they were all asking Late: "Hey, Late, did you use real Chinese Kung Fu just now? Can I learn it? "

"Brother, you're so cool. That's Garnett, the MVP of last season. Being kicked out by you is better than watching a movie."

Even Yao Ming couldn't help but ask: "It's so small, is your trick Tieshan relying on?"

"Tieshanke?" Late was stunned for a moment, "I use the authentic Bajiquan Limentop Elbow, not some Tieshanke."

After speaking, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey, I hit someone, don't you guys worry that I will be suspended?"

McGrady smiled and said: "Everyone saw that Garnett shot first. You were just fighting back in self-defense. The punishment you received should not be too heavy. As for the fine, I don't think you will care too much about it, right? "

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Timberwolves 95:83, lost Garnett's Timberwolves, and their offensive and defensive strengths were greatly reduced. They were not opponents of the Yao-Mai combination at all.

At the post-match press conference, I was late and asked to attend.

The first time they saw him, the media reporter asked: "What is the reason for the fight between you and Garnett today?"

Late has something to say: "Garnett has deliberately provoked me since the start of the game. I didn't care at first. Interfering with the opponent's judgment on the court is a very reasonable behavior. But then what he said became more and more excessive. , directly say that I am a yellow-skinned monkey, and I should go back to the forest to eat bananas instead of playing on the court. I personally strongly oppose this kind of racist remarks, so I decided to use my strength to educate him on the court. Everyone has also seen that I deliberately faced Garnett's defense and hit three three-pointers in a row. Finally, Garnett's offense was blocked by me and he made a move. I can't understand it at all. As the MVP of last season, Why would Kevin Garnett do this, simply pissing me off is not an option."

Spreading his hands late, he didn't deliberately emphasize that he was fighting back in self-defense.

Racial discrimination is a sensitive topic. There are many opinions about Jordan's first retirement. The real reason is that the whites in the league at that time discriminated against black players very seriously.

In the 90s, there were still many capable white players in the NBA. After the new century, there are fewer and fewer white players in the league, and the basketball court has completely become the world of black players.

Even so, racial discrimination is still a topic that cannot be easily dabbled in. Even if Garnett was last year's MVP, he was guilty of public outrage.

What's more, Garnett's character in the league has always been questioned. If there were not many media who praised him, he would not be where he is today.

Another reporter deliberately avoided Garnett's racially discriminatory remarks lately, and asked: "It can be expected that the league will definitely punish you and Garnett in the future. Will you accept the punishment from the league?"

Late replied: "Everyone is an adult, and they have to be responsible for what they have done. I admit to the fight, so I admit to whatever punishment the league wants. I'm asking for leave."

Immediately, a reporter remembered his identity as a scientist, and asked, "Excuse me, you spend most of your time on the court. Then how do you complete your scientific research projects? What is your latest research achievement about?" ?”

Late replied: "Scientific research is not accomplished overnight. It requires the accumulation of a lot of knowledge. No matter how good I am alone, I cannot complete the work of 100 people. In scientific research, I am more about guiding a clear progress. As for the specific experiment, I have a large group behind me to support me. It just so happens that one of my recent research projects is related to genetic engineering drugs. In short, this drug can stimulate human cells It is active and has a strong recovery effect on internal and external trauma. For example, a person needs to rest in the hospital for half a month after an operation. After using our medicine, it may be completely cured in 2-3 days."

Being late caused the press conference to boil over. All the people present were engaged in sports-related businesses, and the first thing that came to mind was the issue of athletes' injuries.

After getting a definite answer, the entire press conference was completely distorted. No one paid attention to the fight between Late and Garnett anymore. All the media were asking when Late's research would produce results.

The media's reaction to this fight was relatively calm. Most of the media just discussed the facts and did not distort the facts.

After the incident broke out, Mr. Wu Pingsheng, the Chinese embassy in the United States, was the first to speak out. He publicly stated: "Whether white, black or yellow people should be equal, racial discrimination is the most shameful act. As a group of people who were once oppressed and enslaved, black friends should have a clearer self-awareness. In my personal capacity, I express my indignation at NBA player Kevin Garnett's racially discriminatory remarks and his actions of provoking disputes , I hope the NBA can take practical and effective measures to prevent such farce from appearing on the court again. Basketball should be purely a sport and should not be interfered by other external factors.”
