0392:[Bankrupt Johnson]
Lee Jin was interviewed by ESPN in the players' tunnel.
When asked by reporters how he would face the surging home fans tonight, he replied calmly: "When you are walking down the road and a vicious dog barks at you, do you turn around and bark at them with the same dog bark?" ”
"Do you think they can still make a sound now?"
Li Zhen smiled.
On the pitch, he is aggressive and imposing.
Off the court, he is always as warm as jade, and his handsome face makes people feel like a spring breeze. Even the girls in front of the TV are sighing why the high-definition flat TV can't shine out with one-ten-thousandth of his handsomeness.
The NBA has never seen such a handsome and elegant man.
"It's just a little episode, and I'm not going to find out why he attacked me. But I think Detroit FC should make some rules about why their fans always like to attack opposing players. ”
Li Zhenyun lightly mentioned that some fans attacked him just now.
When he said this, he didn't forget to raise his hand and touch his hair.
At this time, countless viewers in front of the TV set screamed.
Originally... Bruce's right forearm was covered in blood.
Wow!
Li Zhen himself was also startled, he didn't even pay attention to it just now.
Seeing so much blood, he felt pain in his elbow.
The Knicks staff also rushed over, and the interview ended in a hurry.
"Oh my God! What's going on? ”
Reggie Miller asked in surprise on television.
Bill Wharton and McBlin, who were sitting next to him, were also surprised, and everyone didn't pay attention just now.
They hurriedly called up the tape.
In slow-motion replays, frame by frame, they finally find the killer. It turned out that the crazy fan actually bit Swift's ass in the chaos after being hugged to the ground by Swift, and when Swift broke free, he bit Li Zhen's elbow hard.
So, the blood in that guy's mouth is Bruce Lee's?
2 minutes ago, Bill Wharton was still saying... If two Knicks players break that fan's teeth, there's a good chance they'll face a suspension, even if the fan initiates an attack.
But now .......
Reggie Miller was already furious.
"Why is it always the Detroit Pistons that happens like this? Did they deliberately raise a bunch of fans? Are they deliberately instigating these guys to end other people's championship dreams? Reggie Miller shouted angrily.
His championship dream fell to Auburn Hills Palace, when the Pacers were all in full force and a bunch of elite soldiers, and under the leadership of Rick Carlisle, they seemed to have the momentum of the first in the East. As a result, it was in the Palace of Auburn Hills. Ron Artest was attacked by fans and then hit hard, resulting in the league's first-ever fine.
As a result, the Pacers, who were originally ranked first in the regular season that season, could only enter the playoffs as sixth in the East, and then ended the playoffs hastily.
Reggie Miller regretted retiring.
Today, this scene repeats itself.
How could Reggie Miller not be angry?
At this point, McBrin corrected Reggie Miller's mistake: "What happened tonight is very different from what it was back then?" Tonight, it was the Pistons fans who took the initiative to attack the Knicks players in a frustrated manner, and both Knicks players were victims, and no one fought back. Swift just stopped his bad deeds...... All the tapes are clearly recorded. ”
As a Knicks fan, he's now started to create public opinion.
He doesn't want two key players to be suspended for that.
And, in fact, it was indeed a one-sided attack.
There was no fault on the part of the two Knicks players.
……
Li Zhen was quickly taken to the hospital, and Swift was also taken over.
Swift was also bitten out of blood, but the injuries were relatively minor.
But Li Zhen was bitten off a piece of flesh, and it was at the most critical elbow tip, and the doctor had to carry out meticulous stitches... It took about 1 hour of surgery to complete the wound and 35 stitches... Although it was a very thin beauty needle, it was enough to prove how malicious that bastard was.
That night, the Knicks Club called the police. Detroit police also quickly entered the case process, and although the fan named Johnson also lost a front tooth, all the evidence is showing that... It was during the attack that he caused the murder weapon to fall.
James Dolan has already stated in New York that he will have the best lawyers in the country fight the lawsuit.
Lawyers love to fight this kind of celebrity dispute, and they like to throw out appalling compensation figures, such as this one... A claim of at least $200 million has been filed.
No matter how much the judge decides in the end, the number will be eye-catching by putting the numbers up first.
When Johnson came out of the police station on $100,000 bail, he finally realized that something was wrong.
Usually this kind of small dispute is probably Wu Bai or a bail of 1,000 US dollars.
And yet now....
His lawyer told him to be prepared.
After all, this is a public attack on a super-celebrity who is influential around the world. And the Knicks' legal team has proposed an add-on clause that would add the financial impact of Bruce's elbow injury to the Knicks club. For example, the loss of ticket revenue from not being able to play in the next few games, and the subsequent damage caused by Bruce Lee's failure to maintain his shooting level in the future, such as tonight's 10-of-15 shooting.
It would be a lengthy litigation process.
Although Johnson is a small rich man who can afford a front-row ticket, he may not be able to afford such a lengthy lawsuit, both in terms of energy and money.
He expressed his frustration and regret to his lawyer, and called the management of the Pistons, hoping to settle out of court with Mr. Lee and pay a lot of money.
However, Li Zhen didn't answer their calls at all, and the Knicks' response was also cold.
Li Zhen had long hated this foul-mouthed red neck, and he felt extremely uncomfortable with his arm that was now fixed by external equipment. Especially when the doctor told him he couldn't exercise for at least two weeks, he felt like he was in the wrong place.
Why?
Isaiah Thomas later told him that Stephen Marbury had suffered a slight ligament tear and was also reimbursed for the season. And Quentin Richardson is likely to be suspended, and it is difficult for the Knicks to shake this year's Detroit Pistons.
He hoped to use such words to appease Li Zhen's mood.
However, Li Zhen was even more depressed.
He'd rather lose with a bang on the court than leave the playoffs in this unexpected form.
He knows that the Pistons are very strong, and if Marbury and Quentin Richardson are not available in the next game, the team will most likely lose badly. But... What if?
And, what if Hamilton does a few more dirty little moves?
He was sad, and this sadness manifested itself in... When the Pistons Club sent a voice hoping for reconciliation, he directly refused: "Everyone is responsible for themselves. ”
Then, accompanied by Donnie Walsh, he boarded the plane to New York with Duan Ping.
It was already 2 a.m.
At 30,000 feet in the air, Li Zhen raised his right hand and told Duan Ping, "I didn't expect my first career playoff trip to end like this." ”
Duan Ping comforted him, you have already behaved very well.
"And, your performance tonight is sure to win strong resonance at home. To tell you the truth, your last two fatal three-pointers in the fourth quarter gave me the same feeling as watching a patriotic kung fu movie, you defeated the arrogant foreigners. I will always remember the boos and invectives you gave when you came on the pitch, and the racist remarks. But in the end, you killed them. ”
The more Duan Ping spoke, the more excited he became, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
He can already imagine the pomp and circumstance of this episode after it was broadcast in China. He also finally found Li Zhen to be based in the NBA, but to take root in the solid foundation of the country...... National feelings.
Li Zhen obviously didn't think as much as Duan Ping thought.
He smiled helplessly: "Next, you are going to Orlando to follow up and interview Yi Jianlian." It's a bit reluctant. However, I will definitely return to China this summer. ”
Duan Ping nodded: "I believe... Domestic fans are already going crazy about your return. ”
Li Zhen looked up at the dark window: Who knows.
……
The NBA is very quick to impose penalties.
Quentin Richardson and Chris Webber received two additional suspensions and fined $5,000 each for the brawl.
The Detroit Pistons were fined $20,000 and the fan, known as Johnson, was banned from NBA arenas for life.
All other penalties are handed over to the police.
In addition, the insurance company in charge of the NBA has said earlier that they will not pay for the full medical insurance of Li Zhen and Swift's injuries this time, and it will be fully paid by the murderer.
When Johnson heard this, he fainted directly.
He realized that he might be going bankrupt because of it.
This is the medical bill of the top athletes, and what he did last night was sent by ambulance, and the follow-up treatment and rehabilitation ...... Finished. He couldn't imagine it anymore. He never dreamed that his two would have such a catastrophe, which would make the originally wealthy family shake up in an instant.
He's hoping that the Pistons Club will give him some support, after all... I'm a die-hard fan, a five-year season ticket holder, and... I've squirted blood for the team!!
However, the Detroit Pistons said nothing.
They are now also on the cusp of public opinion.
Led by the New York media, supplemented by the Indiana media and the Los Angeles media, plus a number of national basketball media, the Pistons are being attacked overwhelmingly.
New York fans and media are clamoring there: If the Pistons can't win, they will use off-the-plate tactics, and if it weren't for the connivance of the fans, they would definitely be swept in this series.
The Indiana media reminisced about the past, saying that the Pistons were old criminals who murdered Indiana's championship ring.
Los Angeles is sighing: Bruce finally found the touch, why did you bite his elbow? Unspeakable sins!
Although other basketball media such as ESPN have no lower limit on blackmailing Li Zhen on weekdays, Li Zhen was bitten by fans and reimbursed for the season, and he didn't care about blackening, so he pointed the finger at the Pistons with the same hatred at that time...... After all, Li Zhenke is the source of traffic, and if he doesn't play, the popularity of the Eastern Conference semifinals will plummet. You say, should the Pistons spray?
