The league worked overtime to review the video of the game repeatedly, discussed the punishment plan, and finally reported the final results to the president's office before the game began.

Adam Shaw takes this matter very seriously.

A discussion meeting was held immediately.

Representatives of the Referees Association were invited, as well as Vice President Tatum and other relevant senior executives to attend.

"Regarding this punishment, how do you think it should be sentenced?"

Adam Shaw flipped through a few advisory reports in his hand.

He mainly wanted to hear what the Referees Association thought.

The representative sent by the Referees Association was Senior Fellow Tony Suggs.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he cleared his throat, took the materials prepared in advance and said: "According to the regulations, one game is banned and a fine of 20,000 US dollars, but considering that the impact of this matter is somewhat bad, it has caused widespread repercussions in the Chinese market. ”

"So considering the cause and effect, I think this matter can be punished severely."

"How heavy can it be?"

Xiao Hua asked expressionlessly.

Tony Suggs was stunned, "This ...... I think it could be changed to a three-game ban and a $30,000 fine. ”

"A three-game ban is almost the same as announcing a death sentence for the Trail Blazers playoffs."

At the meeting, there were bursts of whispers and chattering voices.

The sensitivity of this ruling lies in the fact that it has to take into account both the reaction of Chinese fans and the competitiveness of the playoffs.

Adam Shaw did not stop the discussion among the people below, but just sat there calmly, listening quietly with a blank face.

After more than ten minutes, he asked, "After talking for so long, is there a more pertinent plan?" ”

"I think that by following the general standard of second-degree malicious fouls, we can reduce the number of bans and increase the amount of fines to a threshold."

"One game ban and $35,000 fine." An official said.

$35,000 is the maximum penalty for a second-degree malicious foul.

"One is too little, the Chinese side will definitely not be satisfied, I suggest at least three, a fine of 10,000 dollars."

Another official was equally perverted.

This almost represents two attitudes of NBA management.

On the one hand, it tends to maintain public opinion in the Chinese market, and on the other hand, it tends to maintain the competitiveness of the second round of the playoffs.

When these two plans came out, there was another noisy discussion.

In the end, I didn't wait for a reasonable compromise.

Xiao Hua interrupted the discussion in the conference room with his fingers, and said directly: "Since there is no practical plan, let me talk about my own thoughts." ”

"This matter, first of all, is quite bad in nature, there is no doubt about it, so it itself constitutes a prerequisite for a heavy sentence, there is no doubt about a three-game ban, in addition, the fine also needs to be increased, I think 30,000 US dollars is more pertinent."

"Admittedly, we have to think about the competitiveness of the playoffs, but the atmosphere on the field, especially this kind of atmosphere, we must stifle, and the league should not be an umbrella for the dirty, let alone ignore the minimum sportsmanship because of the spectacle of the game."

"In terms of business, we can change and adjust in many aspects, but this time this matter has violated the bottom line of the alliance, and we must not condone this unhealthy trend, so we must severely punish it."

"I propose a three-game ban and a fine of 35,000 dollars, do you have any objections?"

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone was stunned and continued to talk to each other.

But this time, Xiao Hua slapped the table impatiently, "Speak directly, what are you talking about below?" Vote by show of hands, right? ”

"Raise your hand in agreement with my plan?"

After speaking.

Everyone at the scene looked at each other, and then scattered people raised their hands.

Looking at it, it's not more than half.

Among them, Tatum, the vice chairman of Chinese descent, also did not support Xiao Hua's proposal.

The latter couldn't help but look at him, "Tatum, I heard that you have a lot of connections with China, why don't you agree?" Tell us what you think. ”

"Because it's too heavy."

Tatum said: "The Trail Blazers are already underwhelmed, you can see the score of the last game, they are difficult to compete with the Spurs, if Batum is suspended for three more games, then this game is almost impossible to play, so I tend to reduce the number of suspensions and increase the fine." ”

"I see."

Xiao Hua nodded, "However, in this case, you must be banned for three games, as for the competition...... It is not within the scope of my consideration, such a punishment is originally Batum's own fault, and we must not reduce the sentencing scale because of ornamentation. ”

"That's it, adjournment."

At the critical moment, Xiao Hua directly made a personal ruling.

The end of the session was announced.

Only the management in the venue, still looking at each other, remained.

——

China.

When the fans saw the league's final penalty decision, there was a burst of jubilation.

Batum was found guilty of a second-degree malicious foul, banned for three games, and fined $35,000.

In addition, he was ejected on the pitch and the two players involved in the brawl were also punished accordingly.

Among them, Spurs center Thiago Split was banned for two games and fined $5,000.

Trail Blazers center, Robin Lopez, is suspended for two games and fined $7,500.

Such a result also reached the ears of the coaching staff of the two teams at the first time.

Trail Blazers head coach Stottes couldn't help but smile bitterly after listening to the assistant coach's report on the situation with a blank face, "The league is going to kill everything and send San Antonio to escort it." ”

"Robin has two games, Batum has three games, how can this game be played? Who told me? ”

The more he spoke, the more hopeless he felt.

Robin Lopez's importance to the Trail Blazers is self-evident, an indispensable starting center, and the only reliable interior gate.

It can be said to be the defensive pillar of the interior line.

And the role played by Nicholas Batum is just as important.

On the Spurs' side, center Thiago Split was suspended.

But there are still a bunch of people who can take his place.

Whether it's Burrece Dior or Tim Duncan, they can top the number five.

Split is missing.

There is no way to stop the Spurs from continuing to run this huge machine.

But without Batum and Robin Lopez, the Trail Blazers will directly face a situation where no one is available.

"Hey, after all, Nicholas really shouldn't have done that."

The assistant coach was also extremely embarrassed when he saw Stottes' expression of almost resignation.

It's just that after the game, they also repeatedly studied the video at that time.

So there really isn't much to say about the ruling made by the alliance this time.
