James was sent off the court, which called the end of the game, and soon the Celtics reversed the score, and they ended the quarter with a wave of 8-1 and a 53-52 run after three quarters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the fourth quarter, despite Pierce's resonance with Ray. Allen still hasn't regained his touch, but Kassel's two three-pointers still put the victory in the Celtics' pocket early.
The game was finally over, but the "game" was not over, and at the post-match press conference, both sides began to desperately whitewash themselves, regardless of victory or defeat.
"Shi didn't mean it, he was a kind person, he didn't think about hurting Mr. Igoskas, he just wanted to stop his shot, but the accident happened. Stone was in pain for this, and when I walked into the locker room, he was still hiding inside and wouldn't come out, yes, he looked miserable, and if he had a choice, I think he would have preferred that it never happened! —Rivers.
'James is a great player, a great locker room leader, he has a family bond with all his team-mates, that's why he's so angry when Igoskas gets hurt. Igoskas is not just his teammate, his helper, he is his brother, and I think everyone should understand that feeling, the choices we make when our families are hurting. So LeBron shouldn't be punished, he's not a villain! - Mike. Brown.
"Yes, Shi didn't mean to hurt Igoskas, it was just an accident, he once said that he was going to visit Mr. Igoskas in the hospital, but I stopped him, I think what we both need now is calm, including Mr. LeBron, he was a little impulsive. But Shi could understand the choice LeBron made at that time, and he told me that if I were hurt like this, he would have done the same thing. —Pierce.
"Nobody saw this happen, but the bad thing is that it happened, so we called it an accident. Shi is a good guy, he treats everyone kindly, and we should give him a chance. —Garnett.
"He's a good guy, he can even compete for the Ethics Award!" - Ray. Alan.
Everyone stood on their own position and tried their best to defend themselves, and at the same time they wanted to send the other party to hell completely, but the intertwined facts required them to understand each other, so Shi Lei and James "understood" each other.
You must know that the current NBA has a real "zero tolerance" for violence on the court, and the Pacers, who were once prosperous, were ruined in this way.
"I understand James' feelings, yes, I don't blame him, he's a great star, but he's a man at the same time, not a gorilla, and if it was me, I would have made the same choice as him." -- Shi Lei said in an interview with Boston media.
Well, the great Chinese culture cannot be comprehended by the barbaric rice people, but domestic fans really laughed when they saw this interview.
"Gorillas! Hahahaha, I didn't find you were still such a bad stone......"
Shi Lei expressed his remorse, and he was also expressing his kindness. Compared with the Celtics who lost Shi Lei, the Cavaliers couldn't tolerate the pain of losing James, so they quickly gave back, well, the most suitable big z is lying in the hospital, and the concussion has not fully recovered, so it is James who stands up to speak, and it is James, another party to this incident, who stands up to speak.
"I hate violence on the pitch as much as I hate war, but sometimes something happens and so there is always war and there is always conflict. But I still have to apologize to the fans, I set a bad example for your children, but really, I was just too impatient, Igoskas was lying in front of me, motionless, and it made me unable to control myself....."
Compared with Shi Lei's quick entry into the topic, James's press conference on this incident was extraordinarily lengthy, he **** chatter, **** chatter, talking about his remorse, his relationship with Igoskas, telling how he felt at the time, how painful he was after being expelled from the game, how eager he was to play after seeing the team's final loss, and finally, in the final stage of the speech, he entered the topic: "I believe he didn't mean it." ”
The truth is often in the hands of a few, such as the media, and after the two teams spent the price of public relations, this incident really turned into an "accident".
Well, Shi Lei is stained with James's light this time, otherwise with his identity as an international player and a yellow race, the media here will not be surprised or not, even if it is really an accident, they will also shape Shi Lei into the image of an "executioner".
In fact, not only the media, but also Shi Lei also received certain bonus points on James in the punishment of the NBA headquarters, and in order to show their fairness and justice, they also gave leniency to the two in the punishment.
James was suspended for one game and fined $5,000, while Shi Lei was suspended for five games and fined $25,000.
As soon as the additional penalty from the NBA headquarters came out, everything was settled, and the aftermath of the incident quickly calmed down, and then the second game between the two sides began.
It was an impossible game for the Cavaliers to win, and it was, as they were beaten by Celtic on the road.
Under the defense of the Celtics, the Cavaliers shot only 35.6%, and although the "Big Three" only played less than half of the game, the Celtics still won the game easily with a score of 89:73, rewriting the total score of the two sides to 2:0.
In the early morning after the game, the NBA officially announced the 07-08 Kennedy Citizen Award winner, Pistons player Chauncey. Billups was honored for his philanthropic work in Detroit and his hometown of Denver.
Immediately after that, after this hors d'oeuvres, the NBA's official website announced the most important award of the regular season - the winner of the MVP - Kobe Bryant from the Lakers. Bryant was elected as he wished, the first time he has received this honor in the 12 years since he entered the NBA.
In the selection, Bryant received 82 first-place votes with a total score of 1,105 points. Chris of the Hornets. Paul is in second place, while Garnett of the Celtics is only in third place. (To be continued.) )
