After back-to-back games in Los Angeles, the Spurs flew back to San Antonio the next day.

Leonard's examination report also came out, there were no fractures, and he could recover after a few days of rest.

That's great news.

With good news comes bad news.

Not long after the plane fended off San Antonio, the results of the ban on the previous clash also came out.

Martin was banned for two games and fined $20,000 for punching Leonard.

Tang Tian was banned for three games and fined $25,000 for punching Martin.

The double launch of the big fifty boards, because the consequences caused by Tang Tian are more serious, and it is not the two sides of the conflict, and the number of bans and fines are relatively more.

The worst NBA ban was the "Auburn Hills incident", when Artest was suspended for an entire season.

But that's because of the conflict between the players and the fans, the fans are the gods of the league, and the league is very strong in maintaining this area.

However, the penalties for conflicts between players will be much smaller.

Martin was a repeat offender and an instigator and was fined $20,000 for not a big deal.

But Tang Tian was fined 20,005 for a rookie, which is not a small amount.

You must know that his rookie in the first year was only 30 tens of thousands after deducting taxes.

This punch is a bit expensive.

The Spurs were in the arena when they received the news, having just finished their daily practice.

The players couldn't help but complain about the league's fines.

"Is the Alliance's little coffers empty again?"

Dior's words drew a burst of laughter from his teammates.

"Don, I paid your fine for you."

Ginobili walked up to Tang Tian at this time, put his arm on his shoulder and whispered.

"No, Manu, I have money."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

"Don't pretend to be rich, you kid, you're coming out for the team this time."

Ginobili went on to say that he knew that Tang Tian was only a second-round show.

"I'm really rich, and I've received a lot of endorsements."

Tang Tian is not an ordinary rookie, the past endorsements add up, and there are a small 2 million US dollars in the bank card, he is really not fake and polite when he says this.

When he dared to rush forward, he was already ready to be banned and fined.

Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, Ginobili knew that what he said was true, so he didn't force it anymore.

After a while, Duncan suddenly walked up to Tang Tian's side, and then sat down and said two words:

"Card number."

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.

"Fine."

Duncan's speech is usually succinct, but here he is also concise.

"No, Tim, I can afford it myself."

Tang Tian said and took out his mobile phone, and then showed him the money in the account.

Duncan nodded, smiled and touched his head...... Then he walked back and sat down.

“……”

Green had also come over, and when he saw Duncan go back, he sat down with a smile.

Looking at the reactions of his teammates, Tang Tian suddenly felt that he was lucky to be selected for the Spurs.

It's really rare for the whole team to fight for a fine for his teammates.

After a while, Leonard walked over to Tang Tian and sat down.

"It's not about the amount of money, it's about having to pay for it."

Leonard had already picked up his phone and was ready to transfer money.

Tang Tian was speechless, and was about to refuse Leonard.

The door to the locker room was pushed open, and Popovich walked in with a serious face.

When the team members saw this expression, they all stopped communicating and turned their heads to look at him.

"Don's behavior is very irrational and inappropriate, and I don't want to see this happen next time."

Popovich spoke with a serious expression.

The players nodded their heads one after another, Popovich is the head coach, and he certainly can't support the players to do this kind of thing.

After Popovich finished speaking, he then walked to Tang Tian's side and said:

"Give me your card number, I'll pay your fine."

“……”

Tang Tian was speechless, this was the fifth person today who said that he would help him pay the fine, and this time he was still the head coach.

However, Popovich's two sentences before and after highlighted his character, a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

"Don't turn me down, I'm the manager."

Popovich saw that Tang Tian was about to speak, and immediately said again.

When these words were spoken, the other players in the locker room burst into laughter.

This sentence can also be understood as: don't reject me, I also want to save face.

Tang Tian knew that it was inappropriate to refuse again, so he gave his card number to Popovich.

It's a big deal to go back and send Popovich a few bottles of high-end red wine.

Speaking of which, when the two agreed to drink together at the beginning of the draft, they didn't drink yet.

Tang Tian's fine was finally paid by Popovich, and the Spurs players stopped paying the fine for Tang Tian.

This punch seems to be very expensive, but the hearts that Tang Tian won in the Spurs cannot be bought with more money.

The fine Popovich helped, but no one could help with the ban.

Tang Tian will miss the team's next three games, and according to the rules, he will not be able to be at the game, and there will be no salary for those three games.

Although he couldn't go to the game site, Tang Tian's training session was still attended, and he also flew away with the team.

Because it is a ban from the league, in fact, for him and the Spurs, the only change for Tang Tian is that he can't play.

In the first game that Tang Tian missed, the Spurs hosted the Thunder.

Popovich arranged for Leonard to enter the first place, and Nader's movement speed was much slower than Durant's, and he was a little less experienced.

Durant scored 41 points in this game, helping the Thunder finally win and avenging the previous game.

After playing the Thunder, the Spurs ushered in another three-game road trip in the East.

They will play back-to-back games against the Celtics and Knicks before playing the Bulls after a day off.

The game against the Celtics was very anxious, and Rivers did a good job of controlling the two points of possession of Parker and Ginobili.

In the end, the Spurs lost 101-103 and suffered a two-game losing streak.

The next day against the Knicks, Popovich took Duncan and Ginobili off and put Dio in the starting lineup.

JR Smith was on a hot streak and scored his first 30+ points of the season to help the Knicks win the game.

However, Dior's first start in his Spurs career was very successful, contributing 15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and hitting his first triple-double of the season.

The Spurs suffered a three-game losing streak for the first time this season.

Although it has something to do with the strength of the opponent, the impact of Tang Tian's absence is also obvious.

The outbursts of Durant and J.R. Smith have exposed some of Green's weaknesses in individual defense.

In terms of single defense and assistant defense, Green is already a quasi-first-class defensive player in the league, but if he takes out the single defense alone, he is still a little bit less interesting.

The team's next game is against the Bulls, who are first in the East, and it is predictable that this will be another fierce battle.

"I'm starting to miss Don."

After the game against the Knicks, Popovich said bitterly.

ps: I was discharged from the hospital today, and then ......

The little eggplant has a name!

Tang Yongqi!

The unicorn is fire, and the protagonist of the next book is here!
