A reporter suggested that after all, it was Li Du who made the first move, and he pushed Craig Smith upside down and flew out two or three meters away, which is likely to cause Craig Smith to be injured, and when Li Du should be severely punished for such behavior, Garnett and Kobe Bryant said the same thing: "Indeed, Li Du did it first, and he should be punished for his uncoolness." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone should know that Li Du was born in Chinese kung fu, and I think that if Li Du really wanted to hurt Craig Smith, he could finish that guy with one punch. Instead of punching, Li Du pushed him out, which in my opinion was more like preventing a bigger clash between the two teams! ”

With Garnett and Kobe Bryant taking the lead, many NBA stars have stepped up and spoken. Duncan, O'Neal, Nowitzki, LeBron James, Wade, Nash and others have all supported Li Du, among them, James's words are the most straightforward.

"I admire Li Du for choosing to push the other side away rather than be the driving force behind the violence when the two sides were about to get out of control. The last time I fought Lee, I was very impressed, he was very powerful, he was the only player in so many years that I couldn't get any advantage in terms of power, and if he punched the opponent, no one could stand it! Luckily, Lee kept his cool! At the same time, I also hope that the league can strengthen the management of foul scales, this incident is a warning, if everyone is unscrupulous for the sake of victory, it is simply an insult to the game of basketball! ”

With the support and solidarity of so many people, Li Du finally gave TNT an exclusive interview about the incident in Los Angeles the next day.

In the interview, Li Du had a good attitude, he admitted that he was indeed a little aggressive at the time, so that he did not master the strength well, he actually wanted to push Craig Smith away, in order to prevent him from causing secondary damage to Kobe Bryant, who had fallen to the ground. When Li Du talked about the reason why he was too excited, it also confirmed the speculation of reporters about his identity.

Li Du publicly admitted for the first time that he was lucky enough to enter the NBA to play at the recommendation of Kobe Bryant because he was seriously injured and needed huge medical expenses because his senior brother who was like a brother to him. This time, when Craig Smith pushed Kobe Bryant, who was moving fast, to the ground, Li Du suddenly remembered his senior brother, and he was worried that Kobe would be injured because of this!

At the end of the interview, Li Du said affectionately: "I can't watch my eldest brother get hurt!" I also want every NBA player to stay healthy! ”

In the pressure of public opinion, the NBA official called up the video of the game at the time, replayed it over and over again, and carefully identified what happened to the players on both sides.

A day later, the NBA officially issued a penalty order. Li Du was fined $100,000 and banned for 8 games for his aggressive behavior on the field, which almost caused a player to be injured! This penalty is already very severe, and if the average player fights, it is usually a ban for two or three games.

Li Du punished him heavily, and the league punished Craig Smith even more! After careful identification, it was determined that Craig Smith repeatedly used defensive moves during the game that could have caused serious injuries to the players, and was the culprit of this fight, and he faces a fine of half a million dollars and a 42-game ban against him!

In other words, if the Timberwolves can't play in the Finals, Craig Smith won't want to play this season! Add in the fine, and this guy is scrapped this season. Not only will he have to pay out all his previous salary, but he will not be able to get the rest of his salary this season!

In contrast, Li Du's punishment was at best a warning.

Li Du will not be able to play in the rest of the games in March, and many people think that the rest of the Lakers will be difficult, after all, compared with last season, many teams have made reinforcements, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant will face a situation of fighting alone.

In the face of such adversity, Kobe Bryant let everyone see what is called the strongest scorer in the league and what is called the deadly black mamba!

Since two days after Kobe Bryant scored 50 points in the game against the Timberwolves, Bryant once again scored a high score. On March 18, in the Lakers' away game against the Trail Blazers, Kobe Bryant scored 65 points! His outburst has an uncontrollable momentum, and in the next game, Kobe Bryant can get a terrible high score in every game!

Kobe Bryant scored 60 points against the Grizzlies in March, 50 points against the Pelicans, 43 points against the Warriors, 53 points against the well-staffed Rockets, and 47 points against the Grizzlies again at home!

Kobe Bryant not only single-handedly helped the Lakers take the lead in "March Madness", but also topped the latest MVP list officially released by the NBA. Throughout the month of March, fans across the United States and around the world went crazy for Kobe!

And on the other side of the ocean, in China, in addition to cheering for Kobe's explosive high score, fans are also cheering for Li Du!

More than a week has passed since the fight, but the discussion about Li Du has not diminished in the slightest. This time, no one came out to say that Li Du was not, and Chinese fans and the media praised Li Du in a very rare unanimous word!

Among them, there are those who say that Li Du values affection, and there are also those who scold Craig Smith for smashing people's jobs and not being worthy of playing basketball. In the excitement of the crowd, CCTV sports reporter Yang Yijia's article was full of indignation, no abuse, and warmth.

As one of the protagonists of this Timberwolves fight, as a professional player, Li Du's performance was indeed a bit excessive. But we can't ask the players to be like a bunch of robots who only abide by the rules of the stadium and the interests of the team, they are flesh-and-blood, burning young people! The reason why we like basketball is that in addition to the charm of basketball itself, there is also the passion, enthusiasm, unity and mutual assistance brought to us by the sport of basketball! Every player has a touching story behind them that inspires us. ”

"As for why Li Du entered the NBA to play, I believe many people know. Li Du's brother who was as close as a sibling was seriously injured, and just when Li Du was worried about raising sky-high medical expenses, Kobe Bryant helped Li Du enter the NBA and solved his biggest headache. In Li Du's interview, he said more than once that Kobe Bryant is his benefactor and his eldest brother. ”

"I don't know how many people have read Li Du's sentence: I can't watch my eldest brother get hurt! Who does this phrase remind you of? Are they the brothers who once fought alongside you, or the benefactors who lent a helping hand in your most difficult times? I'm thinking of Francis. Back then, Yao Ming, who had just entered the NBA, was also bullied, and Francis also stood up for Yao Ming, what he said at that time was so similar to the current Li Du: I can't let others bully my brother! ”

"Now, Boss Fu has left the Rockets, but I believe that every Chinese fan will always remember this big brother who values love and righteousness, and he will always be Boss Fu in our hearts! Now, Li Du is still by Kobe's side, standing up for his boss! Li Du will also be a hero in our hearts forever! ”
