Chapter 174 is over to you

What is the attitude of the league towards violence on the pitch, it is not difficult to see the attitude of the league's top management towards such similar incidents through the recent cases. If the league used to deal with this kind of thing, it also had to take into account the degree of popularity of the brawl scene and the degree of injury to the players on both sides, now it is much simpler, as long as you shoot, even if it is just to push the opponent to the ground, and trample on the opponent's eggs, there is no difference between the two, when deciding to set off, the league no longer takes the degree of injury of the players on both sides as a criterion, they mainly consider how serious the impact of this matter will be on society.

Although David Stern's old ** is not very popular, there is one thing that cannot be denied, and that is that it is this old guy who really brought the NBA to the world.

Today, the NBA has a firm position in the world's sports leagues. As the supreme authority of the Alliance,. The most important thing that David Stern is thinking about now is to ensure the healthy development of the alliance and the impact of the alliance in society.

Nowadays, the NBA attracts a wider and wider crowd, of course, mainly young people, and people naturally don't want their children to see a mob playing on the court every day, and when the game rises, there is a bloody conflict. Therefore, the attitude of the league towards the violence on the pitch, since the Auburn Hills palace incident, has always been very tough, although there are some favors among them, but basically there is still a mistake in killing, and there is no letting go.

The conflict between Keller and O'Neill this time is absolutely unforgivable, both in terms of the intensity of the scene and the impact after the incident. On top of that, both men are among the league's top stars, and the violence between them has had a particularly bad impact on the younger demographic.

In particular, it has only been three days since the incident at the American Airlines Center, and there have been several violent incidents in the society because of this incident, and the fans of the two people are clearly distinguished, do not give in to each other, and blame each other, even the best friends have waved their fists because of the different players they support.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them expressed a reconciled attitude and said that they understood each other in a subsequent interview, the impact of this incident would have been even more serious, but although there are remedial measures, it is still difficult for the alliance to punish them lightly for the mistakes made by the two people.

Especially for Keller, this time the league's attitude is very resolute, no matter how Knicks owner Dolan compromises, David Stern just refuses to let go, and it can be seen that this time David Stern really wants to make an example of Keller.

People's eyes are also staring at the top of the league, I have to say that because of some entanglements of interests, the league's punishment of Keller several times before was raised high, and then gently fell, so this time people want to see what the league's attitude is, after all, this time the incident is different from the past, two NBA top stars fought on the spot, and the bad impact caused by this matter is not a sentence, two sentences can be said clearly

Finally on the third day, the league's penalty decision finally came out, but this time it was a little different from the past, in the past, the league's fines were sent directly to the teams, and then announced on the league's official website, but this time the league actually held a press conference for this matter, and what surprised people even more was that it was not the league's press officer who spoke on behalf of the league, but the league's chairman David Stern.

From the moment David Stern came to power with a black face, people had a premonition that this time the alliance was really ready to be ruthless, and no matter who it was, they would not go back.

Without giving reporters a chance to ask questions, Stern directly announced the league's penalty decision, Phoenix Suns center Shaq O'Neal was suspended for 38 games and fined $150,000, and the Phoenix Suns were criticized by the league and fined $200,000 for their poor control after the incident. Another responsible person, New York Knicks guard Kyler Korver, was also suspended for 30 games and fined $100,000 for his bad nature.

"The attitude of the alliance towards any form of violence has always been strictly prohibited, no matter who it is, as long as it violates the bottom line of the alliance and destroys the image of the alliance, we will never spare it. In the future, I hope that the young people can focus on the court and not on the fists, and I hope that other players will take this as a warning. As a player on both sides of the incident, I also hope that this is the last time and that if it is repeated, the punishment will be more severe"

Keller was banned for thirty games, considering that a third of the season has passed, this ban can almost announce Keller's comeback, it is almost the playoffs, of course, it depends on the Knicks' next record, after all, every time Keller was banned in the past, or when he was injured and couldn't play, the Knicks' record had to go all the way down, and now they still have more than 50 games, if this is because of Keller's ban, the Knicks tree will fall apart, and since then it has been all the way down, and it is really difficult to predict whether they can enter the future games.

Although the violence on the field is not advisable, the punishment of this league is undoubtedly a little harsh, after all, this violent incident is only limited to the players, and there is an essential difference from the Auburn Hills palace incident, but considering the league's attitude of killing one hundred people, this punishment is not so difficult to accept.

When the decision was announced, Keller was on his way to the training hall when he was surrounded by a crowd of reporters at the gate.

"What do you think about Keller's 30-game ban from the league, and are you prepared to appeal to the league's arbitration court?"

"Keller, what do you think of the Knicks' prospects for this season after being suspended for thirty games?"

"Keller, do you still believe the Knicks will win this season's championship?"

Banned for thirty games

When he heard the news, Keller was also stunned, but he quickly regained his composure, he had already been mentally prepared, although the thirty-game ban was a little more serious, but it was not unacceptable. After all, as soon as the punishment results came out, even if the dust settled on this matter, he could calm down a little because of this incident This time made him not even in the mood for Christmas, and his family was affected by him, and the mood was not very good, which made him feel very guilty, but now it's okay, everything is finally over.

Seeing that these reporters would not give up until they reached their goals, Keller smiled bitterly and said: "I also just learned that this is fair, no matter who it is, I will not appeal, I will take responsibility for my actions." As for the Knicks' prospects, and whether they can win a championship, I don't think that question makes sense, we're going to win, we're going to win the championship, that's my promise."

After saying that, Keller laboriously broke through the siege and walked into the training hall, he was the last to arrive today, the atmosphere of training management was a little stressful, and the faces of every player were full of disappointment, it was clear that they had all known the league's punishment decision before.

"Keller ~~~~~~"

Howard walked over to say something to Keller, but was interrupted by a wave from Keller.

"Don't say anything now, Dwight let's train first, don't forget, you have another opponent tonight, the first game after Christmas, I hope you can get a win"

Keller deliberately said the word "you" very seriously, and when he said this, his heart was also full of self-blame, as the leader of the team and the flag player, in this most critical time, when the whole team charged forward together, he was banned for a moment of uncalmness, although Keller did not regret his behavior, but leaving his heart** team, his heart was still very uncomfortable.

The other players didn't say anything, silently changed their equipment, and began to do warm-up activities under the leadership of the assistant coach, the head coach Thomas stood aside from beginning to end, without saying a word, it looked like a sculpture, only he himself knew how unsettled his heart was, losing Keller, he felt as if his two arms had been torn off alive, and he was thinking more about what the team should do in the future? What is the way out for the team?

On the training ground, after the warm-up activities of the players, the half-court offensive and defensive drills began, this time Keller took the initiative to join the substitute team and stood in the center position to face Howard.

As a result, after a training session, the absent-minded Howard was cleaned up by Keller, and there was still a little bit of the NBA's future No. 1 center.

After the practice, Keller didn't reprimand Howard too much, but said lightly: "If you think you can lead the Knicks forward in this way, I have no opinion."

Seeing Keller turn around to leave, Howard suddenly shouted, "Keller, are you really sure it's me?"

"Who else but Warcraft?" Keller turned to look at Howard and said, "Dwight, I handed over the team to you, I hope that when I come back, the Knicks will still be the best team in the league, and everyone is sorry, I may really have to take a break for a while."

Watching Keller leave, Howard's heart was also very uncomfortable, but every word Keller said to him before leaving had been deeply engraved into his heart.

"Don't worry, Kylerniks will never be left behind"

When Keller came out, he happened to see Thomas waiting for him outside: "Are you sure Dwight can do a good job, in my opinion, he is not very mature"

"Do you have a better candidate?don't worry, Isaiah believes in my vision, this time the monster is really forced to the edge of the cliff, he will grow up as soon as possible"
