Emperor Wu took advantage of it and ran away, shouting in his heart: "Escort!" Hurry up! ”

Artest and Kobe are not ordinary people, athletes are not so easy to be knocked out by a few punches, although they were beaten back a few steps back by Wu Huang's sneak attack, Artest also had a little nosebleed, but after reacting, the two immediately stared at Wu Huang with bloodshot eyes.

Kobe Bryant and Artest pushed away their teammates who were holding them, and the two of them rolled up their arms and were about to go up to fight with Wu Huang.

Of course, the Knicks players will not let their core be besieged, and O'Neal, who happened to be on the court at this moment, played a huge role, and Ao Fat immediately crossed in front of Wu Huang and shouted: "Come into my shield"!

Looking at O'Neal behind Tony Allen, Iguodala and Stoudemire, this lineup is equivalent to a main and a secondary tank plus two outputs, and Wu Huang's own mobility is so flexible, so he is not worried that the Lakers' players can break through the defense and attack him.

What about this being the home court of the Lakers? The players on the bench on both sides did not dare to step into the stadium without permission, although the fans exploded and yelled at him, but under the well-trained security, they could not step into the stadium, so it was a 5V5 situation, they now have a US No. 1 meat shield on the field, can the sister-in-law still resist O'Neal's slam on the ground?

This is indeed the case, as soon as Artest rushed over, he was pushed back by O'Neill with a palm, and he didn't have the slightest temper. Then I saw the three referees step forward in unison, and they held down Artest, who was most likely to make things big again, but they ignored Kobe Bryant, who also rushed up to settle accounts with Wu Huang.

After O'Neal pushed Artest away, he pushed Kobe Bryant away with a backhand palm, but I don't know if it was too much force this time, the boss was directly pushed to the ground by O'Neal's palm, and then Wu Huang's hatred value was pulled by O'Neal, the main T.

Kobe Bryant wanted to change the target of the attack at the moment and go to practice with O'Neal first, but the reason why he stood up and hesitated was probably because he was afraid of O'Neal's huge body. After all, except for a guy like Buckley who doesn't want to die, ordinary people really don't dare to wrestle with a big guy like O'Neal.

"What are you looking at?!" O'Neal provoked Kobe Bryant, he was still in the mood to add fuel to the fire.

Kobe Bryant was so angry that he rushed up to have a heads-up with O'Neal, but fortunately, the Lakers have a guy like Gasol who is ridiculously strong in the overall situation, and when he saw that it was wrong, his sister-in-law immediately hugged Kobe Bryant, and finally gave the boss a chance to step down. Otherwise, he may not be able to hit Emperor Wu when he rushes over, but eighty percent of them will be pulled off by O'Neill, and he will be repeatedly pushed down and rubbed against the floor.

Artest was collectively controlled by the referees, although Mr. World Peace was furious at the moment, and he really wanted to kill Emperor Wu in the distance! But he didn't dare to make a move with the referee after all, so he could only keep scolding.

But it's a pity that at this time, Wu Huang, who shouted "Slip the gold and waw open the cool crack", has quickly returned to the city, and he has already been pulled back to the bench by his teammates after pretending to be forced to run, and Artest can't get him at all.

Wu Huang couldn't be complacent, he didn't want to come back, in the Staples Arena full of scolding, he was quickly shown a "second-degree malicious foul" by the referee, and was directly expelled from the game!

"Alas! You shouldn't have done anything to the boss! I haven't been able to stay calm enough!? Wu Huang felt a little remorseful in his heart, he punched Artest on purpose, and he was ready to pay the price of three or two suspensions to vent his anger for that malicious foul, and hype himself up by the way.

Yes, he hasn't fought on the court until now, it's too good, so he specially chose Artest as his first time, and it was a premeditated fight and run, never in love!

But when Kobe Bryant pushed him, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he actually impulsively turned around and punched the boss, which was a bit beyond the calculation in advance, and this punch would make him pay a price far beyond imagination.

In fact, hitting Kobe Bryant itself is not a big unforgivable crime, the problem is that they can't be played together, Wu Huang knows that he can't be suspended for more than 5 games, but this punch is likely to make his suspension reach double digits, so he will regret it.

Now his fans have something to brag about, but he's paying too much for it.

The Knicks' momentum is very good now, but once Wu Huang can't play more than 10 games, he is still likely to lose consecutive games, and when he returns, the first place in the East may not be guaranteed. But without him, the Knicks can still win back-to-back games, which doesn't seem to be a good thing for him either. Now everyone sees him as the pillar of the team, and no one can do without him in this team, but if he can still win without him, then he will be embarrassed, and the fame that is rising wildly may also suffer a wave of decline, so the difference between a suspension of two or three games and a suspension of more than ten games is too great.

Wu Huang had already scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals when he got off the court, in fact, he only played two and a half quarters of the game, and the data was already so good, and I don't know if it was the reason why it was too smooth recently, causing him to be a little fluttering, at least when he punched Kobe, he had already thrown away the former idol plot, and he completely lost the psychology of worshiping Kobe in high school, otherwise he would not have punched that punch.

To put it mildly, Emperor Wu is now relying on his own ability and being praised by the alliance, and he has looked down on others more and more. The so-called no one in his eyes is very appropriate for his current state, there is gradually no one else in his eyes, Artest is just his unhappy and hyped his own punching bag, how much does he have to look down on others to think of deliberately taking advantage of the topic and hitting people?

After being sent off the field at this moment, Wu Huang finally calmed down and began to have time to reflect on what he had done, thinking about what he had done wrong?

First of all, it's not that the fight is wrong, but that it shouldn't be such a high-profile shot. He can nullify his opponent, but not in this way of direct shot, because this is the stupidest way.

"Don't say it, I was a little stupid just now!" Wu Huang quickly thought that no one would care about Artest's malicious foul action against him now, he was originally a victim, but now he became a perpetrator, and reason turned into ignorance, and the opponent only paid the price of a few punches, a little nosebleed, and his eyes turned into panda eyes, he didn't pay any substantial price at all, and he wouldn't even suffer the original likely suspension punishment, but he could have suffered more than ten punishments.

"Really, when did I become so brain-dead?" Wu Huang suddenly wondered, why did he become so brainless after arriving in Los Angeles? I used to stay in Los Angeles for so long, and I didn't do this, did I??

But if you don't understand it, it's useless for Emperor Wu to regret it now, so he can only quickly find a way to reduce the seriousness of this matter, and think about how to deal with the aftermath so that his punishment can be as light as possible. Now he is most unsure of how David Stern will react when he gets the news. Will you give him a chance to let him go, or will you give him a slap in the face in time?

Wu Huang is not worried that after this incident, the alliance will no longer praise him, this possibility is almost zero, the alliance's favor for him will not change in any way, he can completely turn this little thing into a big thing, but he is afraid that the alliance will deliberately punish him in order to teach him a lesson, which he can't accept.

To be honest, he regretted it now, he didn't need to be punished heavily before he repented, the alliance must not use this method against him, he would never do this kind of loss-making business again in the future.

Belch...... Well, at this moment, in Emperor Wu's heart, "is it right to beat people", he never thought about it from beginning to end, and he didn't think about this kind of boring question. In his eyes, only if there is any benefit in doing this, he will not think about whether it is right or not, anyway, the person he fights is not a good person, if he doesn't have to pay the price, he can't wait to punch Artest a few more times to enjoy it.

On the other hand, after Wu Huang was ejected, the Lakers still didn't take the opportunity, and the outbursts of Smalls and Gallinari allowed the Knicks to enter the final quarter with a 15-point advantage.

The final score was 108:102, and the Lakers' final counterattack scared Knicks fans into a cold sweat, but Iguodala's two plus one at a critical moment helped the team stabilize the situation, although Wu Huang was not on the court, the Knicks could still have a lot of people who could stand up and score at critical moments, and their lineup depth beat the current Lakers.

"I want to apologize to Kobe Bryant, I made a move on a player who pulled the fight, I have nothing to explain about it, I should be banned!" When Wu Huang appeared at the post-match press conference, he showed a look of remorse, "Yes, I lost my cool in the game, but this is not an excuse for me to make mistakes, I am a professional player, I should be able to control my emotions, but I didn't do it, it's very unprofessional." "Wu Huang took all the responsibility on himself after the game, this is a way to retreat into advance, and he can only do this to have a chance to reduce the punishment.

"Should you apologize to Mr. Peace?" Los Angeles reporters spoke.

Wu Huang was waiting for this, laughed secretly in his heart, and said: "I did something wrong, a professional player should not be on the field at any time, a professional player should be able to resist his impulses, but I didn't do it, this is my problem, so I want to apologize to all the fans, I didn't set a good example for young fans." Emperor Wu blamed himself and apologized, but he didn't mention Artest's problem, his meaning was obvious, he only admitted his mistakes, but he didn't think Artest shouldn't fight.

The Los Angeles reporter followed him in hot pursuit, asking him again why he didn't apologize to Mr. Peace?!

Wu Huang began to pretend not to hear, but he was asked several times in a row, and finally pretended to have an annoyed and angry expression, and said excitedly: "What kind of player is he, I think everyone knows that when others play, his level of beating is very good, but when others fight back, he is cowardly, he is a soft egg!" I'm not going to apologize to him! Wu Huang looked a little out of cool, but in fact, his heart was very calm, and after deliberately taking a few deep breaths, he slowly stood up and said solemnly under the confused expressions of the reporters in the audience: "I apologize again for my impulsive behavior, I want to say sorry to Kobe and all Lakers fans, I feel guilty for the fans and teammates who support me...... In short, I will not appeal any penalty imposed on me by the league, and that is what I deserve. ”

After Wu Huang finished speaking, he didn't answer any questions, and he didn't mention the topic of "racial discrimination" during the entire post-game press conference, because he knew that this kind of thing should not come out of his mouth, and after the game, a large number of TV stations would definitely invite lip readers to restore the conversation before he hit someone, and the effect would be much more effective than saying it from his mouth.

At that time, the reason why he launched an attack so decisively was that he was sure that Artest's racist words would greatly reduce his punishment, but later he gave the boss a punch that was really a bit of a head, otherwise he was sure that he would be banned for one or two games at most, and Artest's punishment would definitely not be lighter than him, which would be equivalent to beating in vain.

On January 10, the Knicks returned to New York with a badly damaged victory, and at the same time there was an emergency meeting at the NBA headquarters in New York, where David Stern personally chaired the meeting on how to deal with the biggest brawl of the year.

Adam Xiaohua, one of the vice presidents, first said: Wu Huang's beating is of a bad nature, especially the person who was beaten is Kobe Bryant, who has a huge influence all over the world, and if he is not punished heavily, it will be difficult to calm the anger of 6 billion fans, so it must be dealt with severely.

Xiao Hua is now David Stern's designated successor, and his status is like that of the prince in ancient times, and most of the time his voice represents the president's meaning, so as soon as this remark came out, it was immediately echoed by most of the league's top management.

"Such a heinous brawl must be severely punished!"

"It's not a good thing that young people are developing too well, and it's time to learn a lesson."

"It's been a long time since there's been such a serious brawl in the NBA, and not punishing it severely is not enough to outrage the public!"

"Hugo's assault is extremely detrimental to the league's global promotion and should be heavily fined to demonstrate the league's zero-tolerance attitude towards on-court violence!"

"Don't pull don't pull ......"

The entire conference room was full of shouting and shouting to kill Emperor Wu for a while!

David Stern sat in the center, listened to everyone's speeches with a straight face, and waited for everyone to express their opinions before knocking on the table and slowly speaking: "This morning, Dolan called me, and he swore on the phone that Hugo would hit people because our Mr. World Peace first used serious discriminatory language such as Chink, monkey, and go back to China. Of course, for whatever reason, violence on the pitch is intolerable, but racism is also intolerable. ”

As soon as the president's voice fell, the people in the conference room immediately stared at each other, wondering if there was anything hidden here? They didn't get any phone calls, and if Dolan's words were true, then this matter was tricky!

Anything related to "racial discrimination", it will be difficult to get it, once their punishment is too heavy, if some inside stories are disclosed by the media afterwards, it is easy to cause protests from Asian media and fans, and "racial discrimination" is really difficult to deal with, even if some people always use these four words as an umbrella, but once encountered, it is difficult for most people to properly deal with the troubles related to these words.

Xiao Hua's eyes rolled, looking at the meaning of the president, it seemed that he didn't want to punish Emperor Wu heavily?

In this matter, the most troublesome thing should be that Wu Huang punched Kobe, otherwise there is an element of "racial discrimination" in it, and there is no need to bother too much at all, casually fine some money, and then play fifty boards each, and the suspension of one or two games will be over. But not now, they must take into account the feelings of Kobe Bryant fans when dealing with it, so it is difficult to deal with it lightly, but the punishment is too heavy and will cause dissatisfaction among Asian fans and the global yellow race, so the president will be so embarrassed, and their previous heavy penalty strategy is not very suitable.

Xiao Hua thought for a while and put forward an idea: "Violence on the pitch and racial discrimination are both our principled law enforcement policies with zero tolerance, since there are two kinds of violence in this brawl, we can punish them separately, that is, severely punish violence on the pitch and also punish racial discrimination." ”

David Stern nodded, but did not speak, obviously agreeing with this view, but there was something in it that made him unhappy.

There is more than one vice president of the NBA, and the other vice president, Vanderwig, immediately took over when he saw this: "Hugo has been doing well since he entered the league, and we all know that he will be subjected to unbearable abuse from fans on every road, but he has not had a single conflict with the fans, nor has he had any off-court trouble. So, I don't think it's appropriate to punish a young player who makes a mistake for the first time too severely. On the contrary, our Mr. World Peace has clearly not acted in the same way as he changed his name, he has always been a parasite of this alliance, and any trouble will be related to him, and I think that this troublemaker should be severely punished after the cause of the incident has been investigated. ”

David Stern still didn't speak after listening, but nodded slightly, now everyone knew what the president meant, and countless voices pleading for Emperor Wu instantly filled the entire conference room.

The two vice presidents looked at each other at the moment, and there seemed to be a spark in the middle, Xiao Hua held back his anger in his heart, but he could only echo: "That's right, Hugo's off-field image has always been the focus of our publicity, and we should give young people a chance to change." ”

David Stern finally spoke at this point: "Since everyone agrees, let's investigate the ins and outs of the conflict first, and then study the punishment of all the players involved in the brawl, and then leave the matter to Vanderwicki." ”

Van Dewig happily accepted the order, and Xiao Hua on the opposite side snorted coldly in his heart and scolded secretly: "Villain"

At this point, the meeting to decide the punishment of several players came to an end, and the whole process was very democratic and fair, which perfectly demonstrated the spirit of freedom and democracy in the United States. (To be continued.) )
