After the news came out from the league office, all parties were very surprised at first, because from the beginning of the summer league to the present, people felt that Adam Xiao Hua was very partial to Zhang Feng, and this brawl Pachulia was the culprit first, and a symbolic ban of a few games would have solved the problem.

Taking 10,000 steps back, most fans would like to see the Kings hit a 33-game winning streak, but now that the news is revealed, I am afraid that Randolph will be banned for more than 10 games.

On board the plane to Utah, the Kings held an impromptu meeting on how to respond to the suspension.

Brandon, deputy general manager of the Kings, said first: "Don't worry, with my years of experience in dealing with them, the league released the news first, which is to test the tone, after all, the NBA image is more important than our winning streak, if it can't shock people, then a superstar like Zhang Feng may do whatever he wants in the future."

"And what else do we have to do to remedy it?" David is at a loss, and a Randolph ban is acceptable for the Kings, but if Mason and Rose are suspended, the pressure on the Kings backcourt will be very high.

"From a journalistic point of view, the only way to divert the attention of the fans and the league office is to focus on the fact that Pachuria's malicious foul is very bad, so that the league can have a reason to punish Randolph lightly, but ......" Brandon said again.

"But what? Don't talk halfway," David, who has always been steady, was so anxious that his eyebrows burned.

"But Mason and Rose's ban can't run away, they are spraying with the audience, and the nature is worse than Randolph," Zhang Feng took over the topic.

"Didn't LeBron also spray with the fans? How big is it? Mason couldn't help but interject.

"But they didn't scold the fans, we were impulsive, we should have beaten Pachulia directly," Rose sighed.

"Just do as Brownon said, and everyone go to their friends and publicly condemn Pachuria," David determined.

"We don't need to condemn it, social networks have already exploded, you can see for yourselves," Mason smiled.

Hearing him say this, everyone in the king took out their mobile phones and began to swipe Twitter and INS.

Irving: "I hope the league won't let us down again this time, Pachulia has stopped hiding his evil offenses, and directly made a move to Zhang Feng in the layup, and then ridiculously gave an explanation that didn't stop, when we haven't played before?" ”。

Irving's Twitter was heavily retweeted by netizens, including Warriors legend Stephen Jackson, who wrote: "Pachulia is lucky to still be playing in the league now, if it had been before, he would have been killed a long time ago, Randolph did it fine, if I had been on the court at the time, I would have rushed up and beaten Pachulia violently."

In addition to Irving, Stephen Jackson, there are also stars such as Lillard, Thomas Jr., Westbrook, Paul George and others who condemned Pachulia and supported Randolph's actions.

Of course, the most contentious of these is Charles Barkley's tweet, which writes:

"Earlier, I saw people who were more vicious than Pachuria's fouls, they were called the Pistons Bad Boy Army, every time Michael met them, he would be subjected to all kinds of personal attacks, Michael was lucky to get through that time, but now we can't let Zhang Feng, Wei Shao, Kawaii and other players continue to survive, now we have such a perfect replay system, Pachuria's behavior is conclusive, I hope the league will deal with it properly"

Just when the discussion on social networks was in full swing, the alliance office was working overtime overnight, and Xiao Hua personally sat down and asked for a reasonable plan before dawn.

"It's 12 o'clock now, how's the progress?" Xiao Hua got up and asked.

"Several treatment plans have been released to test the direction of the wind, and the fans are not very satisfied," said the boss of the public relations department.

"What is the main thing that dislikes?" Xiao Hua asked.

"I feel that Pachulia and Randolph have been banned too few times"

"Tell me more about the last plan," Xiao Hua tapped lightly on the table with his index finger.

"Pachulia is suspended for 14 games, with 12 games left in the regular season, and two games will be postponed to the playoffs, and Randolph is suspended for 10 games, so he can return before the Kings play the Spurs and the Rockets."

"Analyze the social attributes of these downvoters"

Xiao Hua waved his hand, and the staff quickly began to analyze, and less than half an hour later, the analysis results were sent to Xiao Hua.

"Hehe, interesting" Xiao Hua pushed his glasses, "I'm afraid most of these fans support the team ranked 5-10 in the West, their home team will definitely meet the Kings and Warriors in the playoffs, so I naturally hope that the more Pachulia and Randolph are banned, the better; In terms of the reasons for the opposition, the fans did not feel much about Randolph's violence, which is a good thing."

"So what do we do?" The PR boss asked.

"In this way, the number of bans will remain unchanged, and two additional fines of $100,000" Xiao Hua made a decisive decision.

After 10 minutes, the PR boss grinned and said, "It worked, the fans who voted against it had nothing to say."

Xiao Hua nodded slightly, "Ross and Mason's punishment will be carried out according to the original plan, and the meeting will end here."

At 8 o'clock the next morning, the NBA's official Twitter announced the league's punishment plan for crimes and brawls, excluding the parts of Pachulia and Randolph that had been revealed earlier, and Rose and Mason were suspended for three additional games.

Fortunately, the Kings' multiple suspensions did not affect their form, and they still beat the Jazz on the road, and returned to Sacramento to sit at the Golden One Center and win back-to-back games against the underpowered Pistons and Hawks.

With the Kings on a 30-game winning streak and a 65-6 regular season win, seven wins in the remaining 11 games would tie the Bulls' 72-10 record.

If it gets 8 wins, it will be tied with the Warriors for the first place in history, and if it gets 9 wins, it will be a new regular season miracle.

But in the last 11 games, the Kings will face the Celtics who have defeated them, the Pacers who are third in the East, and the Warriors for the fourth time, as well as the Lakers who are in good shape, the Spurs who are desperate to secure a playoff spot after Kawaii's return, and the final game against the Rockets, it can be said that the battle has just begun.

In 6 tough games, the Kings did not have Randolph to press, the Celtics had Aaron - Baynes and Greg - Monroe, the Pacers had Sabonis and Elle - Jefferson, the Lakers had Lopez Garande, the Spurs had Gasol and Aldridge, and the Rockets had Capela.

The biggest obstacle to the 73 wins mentioned by TNT Tiantuan before was the problem of interior defense, but I didn't expect it to be presented in such a form, and the king had a headache up and down except for Zhang Feng.

In Zhang's view, Randolph's absence may be a great opportunity to practice the five small tactics.

Imagine how terrifying it would be to play a set of Lefu to play center, Zhang Feng and Rose to play double point guards, and Giles and Bogdan to play double small fronts.
