Chapter 057: Aftermath of the brawl
The Knicks' two-game losing streak came to an end, which would have been a good thing to excite New Yorkers. But unfortunately, there was more to talk about yesterday's game between the Suns and the Knicks than the victory.
The Big Apple scored 59 points, almost breaking 60, and after becoming the youngest Mr. 50 points in history, he once again set his scoring record, scoring 59 points in a single game, and no one knows where the limit of this young man is.
"Although there are some unpleasant things to happen, it is undeniable that the strength of the Big Apple in yesterday's game was surprising, and even now, does anyone still think that the Big Apple is the tactical beneficiary? God, everyone knows that D'Antoni used only one tactic in yesterday's game, and that was the Big Apple! ”
The Houston Chronicle expressed its views on yesterday's game with a neutral attitude, and no matter how the final brawl should be handled, nothing can hide the god-level performance of the Big Apple yesterday, and it is enough to shake the entire Suns team with one force, such a heroic act is enough to make him take the core position of the Knicks.
"China Basketball News" expressed their deep regret for yesterday's brawl in a timely manner, but at the same time they were full of praise for Li Chen's performance, "No one can stop the attack of the Big Apple, Barbossa, Jefferson, Hill, and even Xiao Si, everyone has become the dry bones under Li Chen's feet, on this night, he is the spokesperson of the entire league, he is the most powerful basketball player on the planet." ”
The people of L.A. are very different from the first two, and they play a schadenfreude role perfectly. "59 points? Fight? It's an intricate story! But one thing is unknown, the Big Apple has completely conquered Hollywood's bad girls with his performance, whether it's basketball or something regrettable. Lee, as always, showed that he was exceptional! Finally, we would like to express our deep sympathy for what happened to Amarestadmeier! ”
At the end of the article, there are three pictures, one is a photo of Lindsay with a happy face huddled in Li Chen's arms, and the other is a picture of the sun crowding around Xiao Si to check the injury, as for the rest of the picture, of course, it is the amazing 59 points on the technical statistics desk!
Both sides have their own opinions, and the Suns have strongly expressed their resentment towards the Knicks. The Phoenix Suns newspaper used the strongest possible tone to condemn the performance of the Knicks players in yesterday's game.
"Murderer, that bad boy is a murderer! He doesn't deserve to be a professional footballer, and Amare has a broken nose bone. Obviously, he's going to be out for a long time, and it's all because of that kid's kick. God, he deserves to go to jail! We are looking forward to a fair ruling from the Alliance! ”
In fact, the Suns' injuries are far more than just Xiao Si. Except for the sad little bully. Principal shooting guard Richard Jefferson suffered a sprained wrist brawl and is expected to be sidelined for a week or two.
Although Barbossa, who was beaten the most, did not have any major injuries, he was also not happy after being kicked several times, with multiple contusions on his body, and he couldn't play for a week.
Channingfrye was the most wronged person, he didn't do anything and was treated by Li Chen for nothing, his thumb was unfortunately sprained in the resistance, and he needed two weeks of rest.
Others were also injured to a greater or lesser extent. But the Phoenix man has no time to mention, on the one hand, because Xiao Si's injury is too serious. On the other hand, losing a fight is not a glorious thing after all, especially if you are still at home, and talking too much will only make you more embarrassed.
New York is much calmer because they are the one who wins, so they are not afraid to magnify the matter. First of all, in response to the Suns' complaints, the Knicks said that they also have many players who have been injured in the brawl, among which Chandler is the most seriously injured, and he is likely to face a month's recuperation due to a back injury.
"No, you've been beaten so badly? I obviously saw you yesterday that you were nothing serious, didn't that guy Xiao Si be beaten badly by you at the beginning? The news in the newspaper made Li Chen, who was hiding in Ivanka, a little worried, and he took the initiative to call the boxing champion.
"Where did it come from, how could I not beat Xiao Si's idiot!" Things are not as simple as Li Chen imagined, and Chandler explained the reason to the protagonist of the incident with a smile.
It turned out that after yesterday's brawl, Dolan quickly developed a response plan, and the first thing was for the league to take their eyes off Xiao Si's injury, so they thought of Chandler.
"I'm the main participant, the ban will definitely not be able to run, rather than waiting to be ruled by the league, Mr. Dolan thinks we might as well beat a rake, isn't their Xiao Si seriously injured, I was also 'injured', in this way, the league will definitely not be too partial to the Sun when ruling!"
"Wow, so treacherous!" Dolan's cunning is admirable, using Chandler, who has hidden dangers on his back, to offset Xiao Si's sympathy points, this trick is indeed clever, anyway, the boxing champion's ban can't run, it's better to make a good use of this to make a fuss, and at the same time, Chandler also happened to take advantage of this time to recuperate the same bad back.
"If you have time to play with me during the zoom holiday, I have a game company that is going to release a new game in a while, you go and promote it for me!" Since it was okay, Li Chen also let go of his worries, and the rest only had to wait for the alliance's ruling.
"Daily New York" gave a positive response to the Sun's remarks, "Murderer? I think anyone who watched that game should know who the real murderer is, the two stupid security guards are surprised by their methods, are they professionally trained, at least in my opinion, they are helping Xiao Si! ”
"We express surprise at the words of the Phoenix people, Lee is a murderer? Should Lee go to jail? Haha, that's so funny too! Let me tell you a story, in China, there was a thief who was about to climb through the window to enter the house to burglary, when the owner of the house realized that the situation was wrong and shouted, the unfortunate frightened thief accidentally fell down the stairs, unfortunately he died. ”
The US imperialists do not forget to make a fuss about China whenever and wherever they are. Although what they say is the truth. This was supposed to be the end of the matter, but in the end, the Chinese court ruled that the owner of the house needed to compensate the thief's family a large sum of money. What does this remind you of? That's right, Xiao Si is the thief. And Li is the unlucky master, I want to ask, is this China? ”
The New York Times presented the incident in its entirety in the newspaper, and the replay of each frame occupied a full page, and the picture clearly showed that it was Xiao Si who was going to kick Li Chen first, and the improper handling of the security guard made Li Chen misunderstood. So he fought back, and so there was the series of things that followed.
"It's just self-defense! The league needs a reasonable penalty, and the Phoenixians are despicable in their way of covering up one thing. That is, they still can't defeat our Big Apple with all the strength of the team, even if they use unconventional means in the end, but the winner is still us, in the end. Let us keep in mind the number 59. Congratulations to Cruz Lee for setting a new personal scoring record in yesterday's game! ”
The fight was still being debated in the league, and everyone was waiting for David Stern's reaction, which, combined with several similar incidents in the past, had given their own speculations, and of course, such frivolous actions had no real impact other than increasing newspaper sales.
While waiting, some do-gooders dug up some famous fights in the league's history and posted them on the forums because of the team-up brawl between the Suns and the Knicks. Such posts quickly attracted attention.
The most affectionate fight! This belonged to former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy, in the first round of the 1998 Eastern Conference playoffs. The Heat, who had a history of brawls, and the Knicks started a hand-to-hand battle without any suspense, with Oakley and Mourning taking the lead in a big fight, followed by all the team members rushing up.
In order to protect the players, Knicks head coach Van Gundy hugged Mourning's thighs and was dragged dozens of meters away by Mourning on the floor without letting go, which is amazing. Van Gundy's classic scene of sacrificing his life to protect his players is still widely circulated today.
The scariest fights! Barkley was selected for the award as one of the NBA's first-class fighting strongmen, and because he didn't fight O'Neal in a basket confrontation, the angry Mr. Flying Pig short-circuited his head and smashed the ball on O'Neal's head.
O'Neill was so insulted that he was going to fight on the spot. Unexpectedly, Barkley took advantage of his short height to easily knock O'Neal to the ground, and after pressing him to the ground, he was beaten violently, triggering a fight between the players of the two teams. Although his character is worrisome, the picture of Barkley hugging O'Neal has still become an eternal classic in the hearts of many old fans.
The most unexpected fight! Maddie was elected to this honor, which surprised many wheat people. In the game against the Kings, because the referee had already awarded a foul on the opposing player, Maddie did not throw the ball after jumping. But at this time, I don't know why he was so hot that he smashed the ball at Jackson.
Although the strength is not heavy, it is also an insult after all, and what is even more surprising is that Maddie actually shrugged her shoulders and made a look of indifference, which caused Jackson to be furious and immediately rushed up. The result was that Maddie quickly threw Jackson to the ground, and then slammed Jackson with a left and right bow in succession. If you haven't forgotten his past when he scored 13 points in 36 seconds and sat on the calf bamboo pole, you can know his potential explosiveness, he just doesn't want to fight.
In addition to this, the do-gooders also summarized a series of such as the most professional fights, the most shameless fights, the most brutal fights, the most savage fights, etc., of course, no fight can compare to the most famous Auburn Hills palace incident in the history of the league, because unlike the previous one, this time it was the players and fans who fought, and the seriousness is self-evident.
I have to say that relying on yesterday's fight incident, Li Chen also won the title of the most dazzling fight in the above rankings, and the reason is that the last flying kick, although it is a little cruel to Xiao Si, it is undeniable that even professionals can't find fault with Li Chen's actions.
The league's decision was announced in anticipation, and no one paid attention to the fine, all people wanted to know was how many games the Big Apple would be suspended, because it was clear from yesterday's game that the Knicks would struggle without the Big Apple.
On the Suns side, although Xiao Si is the worst one, this does not hide his identity as the initiator of the brawl, 21 games broke the hearts of the Phoenix people, but counting the time of recuperation, Xiao Bawang was really suspended for less than 10 games!
Richard Jefferson and Barbossa played 4 games and 6 games, Lopez played 2 games, Nash 1 game, and the Suns' main players all died. The bench is no better, and one of the most telling things is that the Suns are rumored to have to temporarily find 4 players from the lower leagues in order to be able to play in the next game.
The Suns are so miserable, and the Knicks are naturally not much better, but in the eyes of the outside world, the league's decision is still somewhat biased in favor of New York and the New Yorkers' Big Apple. Of course, considering that the Suns are the initiators, the public is still basically satisfied with the league's decision.
The protagonist of the incident, Cruz Lee, was suspended for 16 games, nearly a month and a half, and Li Chen was put on a big vacation for no reason. Tyson Chandler, a good helper and actor, got 12 games of vacation, and in other words, Xiao Si was indeed beaten a little badly by him.
Hughes had 5 games, Harrington had 3 games, David Lee had 3 games, Babyface had 1 game, and the rest of the players had been punished a little bit. Like the Suns, the helpless Dolan also had to find 5 people from the lower league to make up the numbers.
If for this brawl, who is the ultimate profiteer? There is no doubt that it is Durant's Thunder, Adu has been smiling happily recently, and their next game is two consecutive back-to-backs, first the Suns, then the Knicks! (To be continued......)
