NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

However, the laughter of the players did not last long. The general manager Dawson walked into the locker room and informed Zhang Jinshui that the Rockets management had just received an official notification from the league that Zhang Jinshui would be banned from participating in the next regular season. , until the official announcement of his additional punishment for beating Bogut in this game.

Even Zhang Jinshui, who has been an NBA fan for so many years in his last life, is the first time he has heard of this arrangement of suspending the game first and then announcing the result of the additional punishment. From this point, it can be roughly guessed that the league will not punish him lightly. Where to go.

Although Zhang Jinshui had already mentally expected to accept a period of suspension when he swung his fist at Bogut, but now that it is his turn, Zhang Jinshui is inevitably a little uneasy.

After all, the Rockets, who are currently sitting at the top of the league with a slight advantage, really need Zhang Jinshui to play to help the team consolidate their record.

If Zhang Jinshui is suspended for a long time, the Rockets' combat power will be damaged. At that time, let alone the number one position in the league will definitely not be guaranteed. The Rockets will even be overtaken by the Mavericks besides the Spurs and Pistons. Go to the third or even fourth position in the West.

When Zhang Jinshui comes back, considering that most of the regular season games are over at that time, the Rockets definitely don't have enough time and space to improve their regular season rankings, and this will have a negative impact on the Rockets' next playoff schedule. Great impact, and let the Rockets suddenly increase the difficulty of rushing to the championship.

Yao Ming, McGrady and other players immediately guessed Zhang Jinshui's worries from his uneasy expression, and stepped forward to comfort him.

On the one hand, they told Zhang Jinshui very seriously that they still unconditionally supported Zhang Jinshui's behavior of standing up for the players in the game just now; During the time, I will do my best to try not to let the Rockets' record drop too much.

Looking at the sincere team members, Zhang Jinshui was very moved, but he couldn't help but began to wonder if he was really impulsive.

Rubbish like Bogut deserves to be beaten to death, but because of beating this kind of rubbish, it will affect teammates, the team, and even affect the Rockets' championship situation, which is really not worth the candle.

However, recalling that Bogut put on an ugly face of "it has nothing to do with me" after he maliciously fouled Yao Ming, Zhang Jinshui still felt that he had done nothing wrong.

That night, Zhang Jinshui's fat beating of Bogut became a hot news in the entire NBA circle.

The next day, various paper newspapers and magazines put the picture of Zhang Jinshui punching Bogut on the first page of their own publications, and on the TV media, Zhang Jinshui's fat man was continuously played. The entire clip of beating Bogut.

In addition to reporting the incident objectively, it is inevitable that the major media will comment on the behavior of Zhang Jinshui and Bogut.

The local media in Milwaukee, SB TV and other national media that have always been hostile to Zhang Jinshui, as well as those media that support the teams that are enemies with the Rockets, all pointed their finger at Zhang Jinshui.

They claimed that Zhang Jinshui's foul on Bogut fully exposed his arrogance, rudeness, contempt for referees and lack of professional player qualities, and called on the league to impose heavy penalties on Zhang Jinshui.

The most annoying thing is that in order to highlight Zhang Jinshui's hatefulness, they even described Bogut as an innocent victim, and believed that Bogut's foul on Yao Ming was not an intentional malicious foul.

Fortunately, unlike the unscrupulous media whose ass decides the head, the pro-Rockets and Zhang Jinshui media, as well as most third-party media in the NBA circle, still commented on this matter fairly and impartially.

They all believed that Bogut’s malicious foul was the first, and Zhang Jinshui made a big mistake in order to help Yao Ming. Although additional penalties must be added to maintain the rules of the NBA, there is no need to go online to formulate penalties. too stringent.

In addition, many media also gave positive affirmation to Zhang Jinshui's act of standing up for Yao Ming, but he was too hot-blooded and his methods were not thoughtful.

Immediately afterwards, various reporters and guests who held different views on Zhang Jinshui's behavior began to debate fiercely on the talk shows of major TV stations. After several confrontations, everyone's focus was on the alliance How many more games should be suspended for Zhang Jinshui.

The journalists and guests who attacked Zhang Jinshui brought up the notorious fight at Auburn Palace, thinking that Zhang Jinshui, who beat Bogut into a bloody pig's head, was as violent as punching the fans back then. Artest has a fight, and he should be suspended until the end of the season.

The reporters and guests who supported Zhang Jinshui believed that the most essential difference between Zhang Jinshui and Artest was that the conflict between Zhang Jinshui and Bogut was on the court, while Artest's conflict at that time spread to the audience , are completely different in nature.

They all brought up the case of Memelon punching Maddy Collins at Madison Gardens that year, and believed that Zhang Jinshui and Memelon had similar foul behaviors, and a suspension of about 15 games was enough.

And because the attention paid to this matter was too high, related debates quickly spread from major TV media to fan groups, major fan forums, and related debate posts were often hundreds of pages to thousands of pages.

Fans from both sides, who were making a fuss, even went to the NBA headquarters to sit in overnight holding various slogans. One side demanded that the league officials punish Zhang Jinshui objectively, fairly and reasonably, so as not to affect the trend of the NBA this season.

The other party demanded that Zhang Jinshui be severely punished and banned from participating in all the next games.

After two days of accumulation, the number of fans of both sides sitting in front of the NBA headquarters building unexpectedly numbered thousands.

When Zhang Jinshui was at his home in Houston, he almost dropped his jaw when he saw the spectacular scene on TV that completely blocked the traffic in front of the NBA headquarters building.

He predicted early on that his behavior of beating Bogut fat would become big news in the league, but it was a bit too exaggerated to get such a big battle.

As an authority figure, it is actually difficult to observe from it. As a rookie in the league, he has now grown into a big man in the NBA world. Whether his season is reimbursed or not may even affect the major teams this season. championship trend.

After three days of such uproar, the NBA finally announced the additional punishment for Zhang Jinshui.
