NBA: Fusion green room, 100% three-pointer

The next day, news of Allen's foot-tapping spread like wildfire.

In front of a famous local newspaper in Philadelphia, fans began to denounce Alvin Williams' foot-tapping behavior.

"The playing method is too dirty!"

"If the open approach doesn't work, try the covert approach? Can't afford to lose?"

"NO Alvin Williams!"...

Many fans held up banners in front of the media reporters saying"NO Alvin Williams!"

Some fans were so enthusiastic that they even showed their muscular arms with the same words on them.

Suddenly, Alvin Williams became synonymous with foot-tapping. But the basketball world has different opinions on the matter. Pacers head coach Isaiah Thomas spoke through the media to express his views on the matter.

"I think the foot-tapping thing is exaggerated! In the development of the league so far, there has not been a case of a foot-tapping that caused someone to be reimbursed for the season!"

"When we were struggling in the league, there were no cases of foot-tripping."

"I think it was just a subconscious action of the defender to brake."

"Alan is such a wimp, afraid of this and that!"......

As soon as Isaiah Thomas' words came out, they were widely recognized.

Many stars also followed suit, such as Scottie Pippen, John Stockton, Moses Malone and other older generation stars.

Bruce Bowen, who was known as the originator of the foot-tapping world in Allen's previous life, was still a newcomer at this time and was also hidden among them.

Of course, there were also members of the"Bad Boys" who formed the same team as Thomas.

Just when most of the players thought the situation was one-sided.

The current Lakers player"Little Fish" Derek Fisher stood up and expressed his support for Allen.

"Last year, Kobe missed three games in the Western Conference Finals because of a foot-tapping. Fortunately, he only missed three games, otherwise we would have missed the championship."

"As Allen said, isn't the purpose of introducing flagrant fouls to protect the health of players?"

"What's more, Thomas said that there were no cases of foot-tapping when they played?"

"That's because there was no flagrant foul at that time, and people would just hit people directly! Was there any need to sneakily step on someone's feet?".....

Under the media's flash lights, Fisher was not nervous or timid at all, and he made his point very clear.

After this statement came out, many players who supported Allen also surfaced.

Among them were the now popular stars such as Vince Carter, McGrady, Dirk Nowitzki, etc.

For a while, a fierce discussion broke out in the basketball world!

Gradually, the war spread to the fans.

On the Yahoo Sports forum, under a post titled"Is the tripping an exaggeration?", fans began to argue!

"No way, no way, in this day and age, is there still a season-ending injury due to a sprained ankle? Isn't this pure nonsense?"

"As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Moreover, athletes are taller and heavier than ordinary people, so the load on their feet is also greater, making it more difficult for them to recover!"

"In the past, fighting was fine, but now he is making a big fuss in front of the media just by standing on tiptoe. What's more, Allen is not injured! I think he wants to stand on tiptoe! He wants to take advantage of the popularity to reach a higher level of fame!"

"That's called preparing for a rainy day! How can you shallow people shake Alan's good intentions? You can only distort the facts!".....

The scene was very exciting, and the number of people in the background continued to rise!

After a while!

Suddenly!

The Yahoo Sports Forum server exploded!

The entire webpage froze and could not be refreshed!

After the unremitting efforts of the staff, it took 3 hours to repair the server, reopen the sports forum and limit the number of visitors.

Even with the limit on the number of people, the sports forum was still popular, with a delay of four or five seconds.

These did not delay, and the fans once again started a heated discussion.

The three major newspaper giants in the United States,"US Today"》、《The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal even fought over this topic.

Finally, they reached an agreement to publish the same number of newspapers at the same time.

The newspaper with the title [Tripping? Or standing on tiptoe? ] was released at 9 a.m.

In less than five minutes, it was sold out! At this time, in the president's office at the

NBA headquarters in New York , the fermentation of the foot-tapping incident made David Stern anxious.

He lay on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

Does foot-tapping count as a malicious foul? Oh, Allen is really good at making trouble!

Since he emerged in the playoffs, there has been continuous news about him!

Not only has he benefited the league a lot, but he has also caused the league to clean up a lot of messes.

It really makes people love and hate him!

David Stern looked through the rules document on malicious fouls.

Malicious fouls refer to some unnecessary behaviors that may cause physical harm to the person being fouled.

Does unconscious foot-tapping count as one of them?

......

At this time, a secretary came in with a stack of documents.

David Stern's eyes lit up when he saw the contents of the documents, but then they darkened......
