The league also reacted quickly, on the night of the game, David Stern received the news and watched the video of the game, David Stern, who has been committed to changing the image of the league, was angry, but the punishment was not serious, Jermaine O'Neal, Dennis Rodman, Stedmeire and Steve Smith each added 2 bans, Rasheed Wallace added 3 games, why did the league raise it high, but gently put it down? The Clippers wrote in the complaint materials: Tiger Washington, the core of the Clippers, suffered a concussion in the head and a serious impact on his internal organs due to a malicious foul by the opposing player Rasheed Wallace, and is still in the hospital observation stage, and it is estimated that he will miss the All-Star Weekend soon.

Whether Tiger is absent from the All-Star Game, David Stern doesn't care, but Jordan's retirement in 98 has made the NBA's attention begin to decline, shrinking the season, and the impact of the NBA has begun to have problems. In the end, David Stern had to give face to the Clippers, reduced the punishment for Rodman, and also reduced the punishment for the Trail Blazers, and the two sides played 50 boards each.

On the day the league's punishment results were announced, Tiger was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Bill Fitch knows very well what it means to take it when he sees it, he has been making trouble to reduce the punishment of Rodman, and now that everything is settled, there is no need to make any more trouble. The next 3 games of the Clippers, respectively against the Bulls, Pistons and SuperSonics, except for the Bulls, the other two teams are in the stage of impacting the playoff spots, Jermaine O'Neal and Rodman were suspended, Bill Fitch directly chose to give up, arranged for Tiger to go home to rest and recuperate, and started the game with the bench, while Tiger was left in Los Angeles and waited for the arrival of the All-Star weekend.

The day after Tiger was discharged from the hospital, Li Shan came to Tiger's house to visit Tiger, and met Jessica who returned from New York, Tiger grew so big, the first time a female friend came to the house, Jessica was excited, grabbed Li Shan's hand and didn't let go, and talked to Li Shan about the study situation at USC, completely forgetting that she came back to visit her injured son, when she ate the meal cooked by Li Shan at noon, Jessica was conquered, and since then Li Shan has become a frequent visitor to Tiger's house, how could Tiger not understand what his mother meant, He understands that as he gets older, Jessica is really starting to worry about his sexual orientation, at the age of Tiger in the United States, not to mention a girlfriend, he has children, Tiger understands very well that he is a woman he likes, and during this time with Li Shan, he also thinks that Li Shan is a good object, but I don't know why I always seem to feel that it is wrong in my heart.

On February 11th, Tiger came to Oakland with Jessica to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend, in Oakland Tiger and Clippers' Ginobili, Wang Zhizhi will meet and they are all going to participate in the Rookie Challenge, last year's All-Star Game was canceled, Tiger is also the first time to participate in the All-Star Game, the mood is still a little excited, in Oakland Tiger met a lot of friends, Duncan, Carter, O'Neal, Garnett, etc., they also participated in the party organized by O'Neal that night, At the party, Tiger not only met a lot of NBA celebrities, stars, but also met many stars in the entertainment industry, including the only 'Rachel' Jennifer Aniston he knew.

On February 12th, the first day of the All-Star Weekend, the first thing to do was the Rookie Challenge, which was also the All-Star Weekend, the day with the lowest attention, but there were still many big-name stars to cheer, Duncan and Garnett sat behind the sophomore team, it was obvious that they were here to support the sophomore team, Kobe Bryant appeared in the seat behind the first grade, and now the rumors of Tiger and Kobe Bryant not getting along have been known throughout the United States, so Kobe's behavior is considered normal by everyone, Tiger, Carter, Bibby partnered with the second-year outside, first-year Brand, Odom, Davis, Ginobili, Francis, formed the starting lineup, after the game started, the coaches on both sides did not arrange any tactics, the All-Star Game itself is a show, the coaches and players understand this, so the game is very relaxed.

In the first quarter, both sides had no defense, no offensive routines, it was completely free play, and the scores of the two sides were not much different, but at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the first-year team showed their ambitions, the second-year Jason was banned, Jamison was injured and did not come, although there was still Nowitzki, but Nowitzki's style of play was out-of-the-box, which made the first-year team see the hope of winning and began to impact the second-year inside, Tiger played 6 minutes in the first quarter and sat on the bench and chatted with Duncan who watched the game behind him, But just 5 minutes into the second quarter, the first-grade team stretched the score to 12 points, and now the second-grade team couldn't sit still, playing is one thing, but the honor of the second-grade team's undefeated team cannot be easily lost.

"Tiger, these rookies are too arrogant, we can't be trampled by a bunch of first-year rookies." Carter said as he walked over to Tiger's side.

"We don't have an advantage on the inside, so if we play like this, we will probably lose, and if we want to win, we need to be different." Tiger understands that the Rookie Challenge is the only one time he can play, and he doesn't want to lose.

"How? We listen to you, coach, you don't have to worry, on All-Star Weekend, coaches don't care about that. Carter asked.

"Well, we are stronger on the outside, I can play power forward, let Pierce play, we play fast offense, give up the inside, and use speed to break them."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the coach, and after the timeout, we'll go up and give the rookies some color." With that, Carter stood up directly and walked to the coach, the coach listened to Carter's words, looked at Tiger and nodded, it was obvious that the coach really didn't care about this.

The sophomore team called a timeout and replaced Nowitzki, Tiger, Pierce, Carter, Bibby, a small lineup, as soon as this lineup came on the court, it caused a commotion, because the height of this lineup was too low, and the commentator on the scene also shouted: "Oh! What do I see? Are sophomores going to give up the game? ”
