The game with the Spurs was over, but the matter was far from over.
Bruce Bowen, the person involved, had his behavior and slow-motion on the court repeatedly broadcasted on sports news on major TV stations.
Especially when he deliberately put his foot under Roy's feet to step on him, his smug expression and smile made people shudder.
North American fans gave him a nickname called "Butcher's Smile".
The San Antonio Spurs protested to the league, vowing that it was just Bruce Bowen's defensive action that was a little too big, and he did not hurt the players.
It's all stoned. He was still stubborn even after being hammered. This move was criticized by all fans.
The team not only did not admit the mistake but even wanted to excuse him. This was unexpected.
An accomplice, definitely an accomplice!
Cleaning up the accomplice and exonerating the accomplice, when someone found video evidence of Bowen's multiple black feet through layers of investigation,
The Spurs became the target of public criticism overnight.
The spectators shouted, "Wow, this is not the first time he has done this, but he has been at large after multiple black feet.
And the official behavior of the Spurs directly aggravated the anger of the fans.
The Spurs' top management felt that the situation was out of control, so things took a turn. They found a deputy manager as a scapegoat.
As for Bowen's problem, they expressed respect for all the league's punishment decisions.
It was an overly deliberate and malicious foul, or an act with the intention of maliciously harming others.
League President David Stern personally made a severe and strict punishment decision.
You must know that Yao Min and Roy are related to the NBA's global promotion plan and the most important step in opening up the Chinese market.
If such a malicious foul is not severely punished, it is very likely to affect the NBA's brand and credibility, which is absolutely unacceptable to the league.
The next day, the league issued the most severe ticket (second only to the Auburn Hills brawl) Bruce Bowen's first-level malicious foul, the league banned him for 30 games, and fined him $100,000.
This almost exceeded the maximum penalty for malicious fouls.
The ticket also stipulates that this is a serious warning. If a similar situation occurs again, Bowen will face a lifetime ban.
Bowen, the person involved, should have been warned by the team. He did not add fuel to the fire by speaking out again, but chose to accept the punishment in silence.
Although this penalty was different from what Roy expected,
it was still acceptable. Minor punishment and major warning have always been the official feature.
Roy's injury worried the fans.
For the sake of caution, the team took Roy back to New Jersey that night.
Because it was hard to ignore such a seedling that appeared,
After playing for less than half a season, Roy's performance has conquered the fans and management of the Nets.
His status in the Nets has been infinitely improved, and his importance even exceeds that of everyone in the team.
Anyone who is not stupid can see that this is the cornerstone of the team for the next ten years.
The data in half a season is more exaggerated than Duncan, and like Duncan, he is an all-rounder in offense and defense.
Roy's shooting range covers the entire half court.
Although he is not as good as Duncan now due to strength and experience problems,
But Roy's defense covering the entire half court has actually surpassed Duncan.
It should be noted that this guy will not be 20 years old for another two months.
Duncan was already over 22 when he entered the league.
The advantage of age is there, and it is hard to imagine his future achievements.
Fortunately, the hospital that the New Jersey Nets cooperated with brought good news. It was a soft tissue contusion. He could return to the game normally after resting for about a week.
So the team manager Droshon waved his hand and gave him a 10-day vacation.
It is better to be cautious. The Nets are now firmly in the first place in the Eastern Conference and have no pressure on the record.
It is understandable to rest for a few more days for the sake of insurance.
When the news came, almost all Nets fans and Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, some competitors in the East and the Spurs in the West cursed.
The most tragic Bruce Bowen, after being treated for a serious injury, only saved one testicle. The other one was broken into egg flowers and had to be given up.
The doctor regretfully told the person involved that it would be difficult for Bowen to be a father again in the future.
The good news is that Bowen is already the father of two children.
You have to give up: you gave up your testicles, but you got a fine and a suspension. That's life.
Roy felt it was fair to learn about Bowen's injury.
At the moment of injury, Roy felt that the sky had fallen and he was about to bid farewell to his career. Fortunately, everything was minimally affected.
During the 10 days that Roy rested, the Nets' schedule was not intensive.
The Nets also had "Boxing King" Chandler sitting under the basket.Town, Kostic also has a stable playing time, plus the three horses with invincible firepower, the record has not been affected,
When playing against those weak teams, they are still crushing.
The Nets have achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss without Roy,
Although they continue to lead the Eastern Conference, they have been surpassed by the Suns in the overall league record,
In the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat are behind the Nets as expected,
With the combination of O'Neal + Wade, they have begun to show their powerful power, 27 wins and 9 losses, and are only 1.5 wins behind the Nets.
Time flies. After Roy came back, the Nets' mental outlook changed.
The whole team entered the game in full force from mid-January to early February.
For nearly a month, the Nets defeated strong opponents one after another.
In terms of overall record, before the All-Star Game, the difference between the Nets and the Suns was only 0.5 wins.
The team's record reached 42 wins and 11 losses.
The All-Star Game announced the starting and substitute rosters last week.
Carter and Roy joined forces to become the starting forwards in the East. Jason Kidd also won the game because of the Nets' outstanding record. Entered the Eastern Conference reserve lineup,
The only regret is that Jefferson was not successfully selected,
A total of 3 All-Stars were selected, and the Nets became the biggest winner of this All-Star Game,
In the last game before the All-Star Game, the team will move to Minnesota to challenge the Minnesota Timberwolves away,
Last season, the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals and fought hard with the Lakers with F4 for 6 games and lost,
Since Roy last played against Duncan, he is looking forward to facing Garnett,
As his own talent template, Garnett There is no doubt about his ability, he is at the top level in the league.
He just won the MVP last season, over his old rival Duncan, and won the first place in the Western Conference. It seems that he has seen the dawn of hope in his life.
It is obvious that God has poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Trapped in contract issues, the other two of the three-headed monster are not working hard. Even if the team leader shows dissatisfaction, the two still go their own way.
The team has fallen into a quagmire of serious internal friction.
At this critical moment, the team's meritorious coach and the team's top management have a conflict.
Finally, he became the scapegoat for the team's performance. You should know that the old coach Saunders is a veteran of the team and has led the Timberwolves for 10 seasons.
Few coaches can lead a team for such a long time alone. As Garnett's mentor,
He has been with Garnett since Garnett entered the league and came to the Timberwolves, just like a family member.
Such an inexplicable dismissal was a big blow to Garnett, and at the same time, he was very angry with the team's management.
His already unharmonious relationship with the team has added a huge crack.
