Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Alliance's Punishment
Robinson, who is now famous, also needs dollars to live, but fortunately, his injuries are still not as serious as they seem, although there was cerebral plasma and blood at that time, but it was only a crack in the skull, although it had some impact on the brain, but it was still not too serious. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info so you still need to earn some pension. Anyway, what can I do if I have already been beaten?
So after only one day, the situation of the Lakers has improved rapidly, although the main team except for Shaq is almost all reimbursed, but Lamar's light sentence will still give the Lakers enough motivation in the playoffs.
However, Lamar still faces a ban, after all, there is no doubt that he did it!
As for why the league didn't hold on to Lamar for a reason, first, they didn't want Stern boss to value it, and the new star created would be ruined like this, and Lamar's style of play would still bring a lot of benefits to the league. The second is Dr. Buss's covert efforts! This is also the reason why the league has a tacit understanding to choose Langley as the main target of punishment, and other teams have nothing to say. Otherwise, the other bosses of the alliance are not stupid!
The alliance announced the end of the investigation that day, and the final punishment results will be announced tomorrow, and all the final conclusions will be answered tomorrow. Although some people still think that the punch should have been Lamar's, under the inducement of the alliance and the denial of many aspects, this matter still tends to develop in the direction of the Lakers' favor. Lamar should not be punished heavily, banned from all competitions this season, this is the speculation of the outside world.
Early in the morning in the NBA conference press room, countless media were waiting for the announcement of the results of the Auburn Hills palace fight, and everyone was concerned about what the final outcome of this violent and tragic soap opera would look like, and what would be the impact on the future of the two teams?
Especially for the Lakers, fans are still more concerned about this season's leader, and they also have a certain enthusiasm for Lamar as a rookie.
Andy, the league's press chief press officer, walked into the venue with a professional smile, the flash lights came on, and Andy, who had never been treated like this this season, was a little fluttery!
From thanking the media friends for their enthusiasm, to chatting about the boring topic of have you eaten today? The reporters at the bottom had already scolded in their stomachs: "What are you saying so much! We have to focus on the key points! We have to go back to catch up with the manuscript after finishing it early, you must know that today we are waiting for this manuscript to come out, so that we can print the newspaper!"
Just when someone almost couldn't help but want to pull Andy out of his seat and beat him up, Andy finally said: "Next is the punishment result of the Lakers and Pistons brawl time!
The Lakers were fined $100w, and the whole team collectively served 180 hours of community labor, and the Pistons fined $100w, and the whole team collectively served 210 hours of community labor.
Pistons: Stackhouse should be the first to participate in the brawl, a $25w fine, a 20-game ban from the season, plus 60 hours of community labor.
Chris Williamson should participate in the brawl and be fined $150,000 and banned for 10 games. Plus 30 hours of community work.
Ben Wallace was fined $35w and banned from playing for the remainder of the season, plus 80 hours of community labor for accidentally injuring a fan while participating in a brawl.
Cliffor Robinson maliciously fouled, seriously violated sportsmanship, smoked marijuana before the game, and the consequences were extremely serious, with a fine of $40w and a lifetime ban. 180 hours of community service. That's what the Pistons penalized. ”
As soon as the Pistons' punishment results came out, it caused quite a big reaction, and the league's punishment this time was heavy, basically this season's Pistons were reimbursed! Poor Robinson also caused public anger because of drug abuse, and the lifetime ban was okay for him, because it was difficult to get out of the shadows even after being punched by Lamar for a few years. Fortunately, the Lakers privately compensated the hush money and the Pistons are estimated to buy out his contract, and it is also a good choice to leave for a few million dollars.
The following discussion is discussed from this result, and it is estimated that the Lakers' punishment is similar to this, and the only thing worth looking at is what punishment will Langley receive for beating Robinson like that? and Lamar's punishment result. You must know that Lamar can be related to the fate of the Lakers in the future.
Andy continued after coughing: "Next is the result of the Lakers player's punishment:
Ramon Murray was fined $15w and banned for 15 games, plus 80 hours of community labor.
Chauncy Billups participated in the brawl and was fined $12w and banned for 10 games, plus 72 hours of community labor.
Brian Shaw participated in the brawl and was fined $10w. Banned for 6 matches. Plus 40 hours of community work. ”
Andy then paused. The reporters knew that the focus was coming, and they were looking forward to it. The whole venue was silent, without a single sound!
Andy was satisfied with the effect of his only presence and continued: "Luke Longley is hereby fined $30w, banned for 30 games, and worked in the community for 180 hours for provoking a brawl, assaulting an opponent and causing serious injuries to Robinson. (Because it is a top cylinder, Lang Li's fine is paid by Dr. Bass on his behalf, and the salary team during the ban is also correct!)
Lamar, who participated in the brawl but did not cause any harm (compared to a dead person, it is not light to go to a hospital and get out of the brain), plus he has a good relationship with Kobe Hawley, who was injured by Robinson, and his emotions are understandable, so he is punished with a 5w dollar ban for 3 games and 20 hours of community service!"
After Andy finished reading, he hurriedly announced the end of the press conference, and left without stopping for a step, for fear of questions from the media later.
The media exploded all of a sudden, if there was any accident, it was the final reading of the punishment results of the two, Lang Li because he was helping Kobe Bryant to avenge the punishment was not as serious as imagined, at least on the surface! And Lamar's punishment could not be lighter, and the media even suspected that if there was no video of the punch to Stackhouse, it is estimated that the league would have declared Lamar not guilty! But now looking at this punishment, it can only be said that it is not painful, and Lamar can even take this opportunity to spend a small vacation! Players sometimes sprain their ankles, and they don't play more than three games!
This cannot but cast doubt on the impartiality of the alliance.
Soon after the conference, the Pistons and Lakers made a declaration to obey the league's punishment decision!
Although the result is still good for the Lakers, at least Lamar, one of the well-deserved cores, has not suffered too many bans, and the injuries of Kobe and Hawley are not as serious as imagined, which makes the Lakers' combat power not greatly reduced, which is the hard work of Shaq in the next few games.
But the media are not idle, they are good at discovering potential news, and they immediately launched the next gimmick, they wrote: "Now everyone in the league knows that since Jordan retired, Stern has begun to favor the little guy in Los Angeles, that's right! It's Kobe Bryant, you can see how much Stern loves him from his free throws on the basket, so we say Kobe is Stern's godson, his favorite!" But the appearance of a person makes us have to wonder if Kobe Bryant is Stern's godson, then Lamar is not Stern's biological son? Stern helped Kobe Bryant at most to use his power for welfare, which is not too outrageous, but this time you can hardly imagine that after Lamar fought on the court, he only received 3 bans and 5w US dollars in fines, and even our king of technical fouls, Rasheed Wallace, paid more fines than him in a year! The banned games are the same as him. This is no longer an abuse of power, but an abuse, so we have reason to believe that Lamar is Stern's own son. Now that his godson and his own son are on the Lakers, can it be said that the Lakers are Stern's lover?"
Of course, this view is only made by some small newspapers for the sake of sales, and the big newspapers dare not slander the great Aunt Stern like this!
Regardless, Lamar got a result that couldn't have been better, and he didn't actually suffer much damage. However, the Lakers are still inevitably damaged, and their next game will be to challenge the current powerhouse in the East, the Philadelphia 76ers.
Before the fight, it was a high-profile match, known as a rehearsal for the finals!
And now as the Lakers' strength drops to the freezing point, the focus of this game is how many points Philadelphia can cut and how much of a point difference it can open. What starting lineup will the Lakers use, and if a few Lakers can't play in the game or are fouled, will the Lakers create the most bizarre 4-on-5 situation in history?
This is also the next question for Phil, before Kobe Bryant returns from injury and Lamar's suspension is lifted, the Lakers' task is how to ensure their current lead and win the game as much as possible without injury.
Yes, this is what the Lakers are doing now, you must know that the Lakers' already lack of confidence in the case of Lamar, Longley, and Hawley all reimbursed this time, except for Shaq, there is only one 10,000-year substitute center who has not played for many years, which is a tragedy for Phil. If Lamar had been banned for a longer period of time, Phil believed that he would have gone absolutely crazy, and Shaq would not be able to play a small lineup.
