Chapter 158 This Is My Promise To A Great Mother
Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and everyone will have different opinions on the same thing, but tonight, 20,000 people at the scene reached the same consensus, that is, Lin Yu is a madman!
Lin Yu is a madman!
Everyone knows that a madman can't be provoked, because no one knows what will happen after he does.
However, Jazz provoked Lin Yu, a madman, tonight, and they must have been very difficult to be good.
The team doctors rushed out one after another, carrying a stretcher into the stadium, and carried Xiao Ao out of the stadium in a faint state, and Malone and Stockton were not much better.
Ma Long was retaliated by Lin Yu, and smashed out two front teeth by force, smashing them again and again, and the gods couldn't bear it when they came.
In addition, he had been beaten by Big Ben and Miller before, and Malone had already fainted.
Stockton didn't faint, but his shoulder was bloody, which was bitten by a madman.
The madman's mouth was covered with blood, like a demon, and when he saw that Stockton was about to be carried out, he hurriedly stopped him.
"Do you have any of the HIV sickness of the damn thing?"
"I should bite your neck, send you directly to God!"
The madman's words sent chills to the stretcher-carrying team doctors, who were glad they weren't players and didn't have to face such a madman on the pitch.
You must know that the madman was banned for almost the entire season last season, and everyone felt that he should have learned his lesson, but the madman who lost his mind did not act like a normal human at all.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yu didn't want to wait for the referee to blow the whistle and give a penalty, they were up and down tonight, from Lin Yu, the coach, to the four assistant coaches, and then to the twelve players, almost all of them did it after they got on the court, and no one was spared, and they would definitely all be expelled.
"Lin, wait."
Sloane's face was anxious, and he hurriedly stopped Lin Yu, he knew very well that if he didn't give in in front of Lin Yu tonight, Jazz would inevitably suffer a devastating blow in the future.
"Lin, if you want to blame, blame me, no matter what you do to me, I have absolutely no complaints."
"I have a lot of responsibility for tonight's incident, and everything is my fault."
Sloane put on a look of imminent killing, he wanted to quench the anger in Lin Yu's heart as much as possible.
Lin Yu sneered: "Jerry, you are indeed responsible. ”
"However, it's not your responsibility to do it alone, I'm going to destroy Sir little by little, I'm going to slowly crush you and turn you into dust."
"The day I buy Jazz, there will be no more traces of Jazz in the world."
"Malone and Stockton will be lonely ghosts without a team, and their names will not appear in the history of any team."
"Your team is dead, and God can't save you."
With that, Lin Yu led everyone to turn around and return to the locker room.
That night, everyone stayed in the hospital, Xiao Ao's condition was extremely serious, and the wizards had not been elbowed by their opponents until they lost consciousness, but they soon woke up, and Xiao Ao was in a coma all night.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Xiao Ao woke up slowly, and Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, if Xiao Ao really had an accident, he didn't know how to explain to Xiao Ao's mother, Angela Jones.
Jones is a great mother, her husband ran away like most black fathers, Jones raised two sons alone, just gave birth to Xiao Ao less than two weeks ago, in order to earn money to support the two children, she went back to the hospital to work as a nurse, and after work had to go to the bank to work part-time as a receptionist.
In order to let Xiao Ao have a good growth environment, Jones moved out of the bottom streets with frugality, in order to prevent Xiao Ao and the brothers from becoming that kind of street gangsters.
With such a great mother, Xiao Ao's personality is not like those black people who come out of the street in the flying car, he is very polite to others, and he is a good boy who is loved by everyone.
If Xiao Ao had three longs and two shorts, Lin Yu couldn't imagine how sad Jones would be.
"Child, it's good to wake up." Lin Yu sat on the edge of Xiao Ao's hospital bed and never closed his eyes.
"Boss, what's going on?" Xiao Ao lost one of his front teeth, his speech leaked, and after he was elbowed, he fell unconscious on the spot, and he had no idea what was going on.
"It's nothing, take care of your injuries."
"Good boy, when you recover from your injuries, sign a contract with us, and I will renew a contract with a maximum salary for you in advance."
Lin Yu sighed and said to Xiao Ao.
He felt very sorry for Xiao Ao, and at the same time he was blaming himself in his heart, he was too careless to underestimate the enemy, if he had reminded Xiao Ao earlier, maybe such a tragic thing would not have happened on the field.
Xiao Ao squeezed out a smile weakly, "Can I stay?" Thank God I won. ”
"I made a bet with Kobe and Steve that it's time for all three of us to sign."
"I thought it would be Kobe, after all, he is very powerful, and I thought it would be Steve, after all, he can partner with the bus."
"I didn't expect the winner to be me!"
Xiao Ao said that, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Lin Yu's heart was sour, what a good child, damn Marlon should go to hell!
96 Golden Generation, Lin Yu originally had five players in his hands, Big Ben had already gone to the SuperSonics, and Peja entered the league in 97, so he has not yet reached the point of time to renew his contract in advance.
The rest of Xiao O, Kobe Bryant and Nash, by the end of this season, have been able to renew their contracts early.
It's impossible for a team to sign three salary caps, and with the bus contract being able to be renewed early, it's clear to all three that only one of them can stay.
Xiao Ao never thought that he would be the lucky one to stay, he was ready to be traded by Lin Yu.
However, today Lin Yu promised his maximum salary contract, Xiao Ao's heart let go, he no longer had any worries, and fell asleep sweetly.
Lin Yu shook his head, not thinking about these upsetting things, he just wanted to take revenge on the Jazz now and make the entire Jazz pay a terrible price.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Lin Yu's mobile phone rang, and it was Dick Motta, a retired veteran coach.
Lin Yu had a good conversation with Mota before, and he could be regarded as a New Year's friend.
However, this time Lin Yu did not answer Motta's call, he knew that Mota had come to intercede for Sloane, and Sloan was Motta's disciple.
Half an hour later, Zen Master Jackson also called, but Lin Yu still didn't answer, Zen Master was Sloan's fellow disciple brother.
It's useless for anyone to intercede at the moment, and it's impossible for Lin Yu to let go of Jazz.
He said those words in front of tens of thousands of fans, if he let the Jazz go, then Lin Yu would become a big joke.
"Squeak." The door to the ward was pushed open, and a black woman who looked at her about forty years old walked into the ward with a worried face.
Lin Yu knew that this might be Xiao Ao's mother, Angela Jones.
"Ms. Jones, I'm sorry I couldn't protect Jermaine." Lin Yu stepped forward and apologized in a low voice.
Jones is a great mother and a woman of general knowledge, "No, Coach Lin, how can I blame you for this. ”
"You're a noble man of Jermaine, and if it weren't for you, Jermaine would still be just a fringe player that no one knows."
"Every time he calls me, he mentions you and says he's a lucky kid who met the best coach in the world."
The more Lin Yu listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and he waved his hand and said, "Ms. Jones, I will make Jazz pay, a price they can't afford." ”
"This is my promise to you!"
……
With Jones taking care of him, Lin Yu was finally able to leave the hospital with peace of mind, he had not closed his eyes for more than twenty-four hours, and he was going to return to the hotel to rest first, and then discuss other things in the long run.
After returning to the hotel room, Lin Yu received a call from Stern.
"David, if you want to intercede for Sir, I can only tell you, no way!"
"I will never let Jazz go, no one can stop me."
"This is my promise to a great mother!"
A wry smile came from Stern's side, "Lin, you are really too reckless, even if you want revenge, you shouldn't say it in front of so many people and put yourself in a difficult situation." ”
"This incident, your way of handling it is too immature, the five coaches and twelve players of the Wizards are involved in the brawl, how do you punish me?"
"The punishment is too light, there is no way to explain it, the punishment is too heavy, your side will definitely not be convinced."
Stern said with a long sigh.
Lin Yu said slowly: "I'm not even thirty years old, I don't need to be mature, I just need to be worthy of my conscience." ”
"In addition, you can punish you however you want, no matter how heavy the punishment is, I don't care."
"But you can't be partial to the Sizz, Malone has been evil for so many years, Sloan is responsible, and your alliance officials are also responsible, if you didn't connive at him, he could hurt people so unscrupulously?"
"Isaiah Thomas was elbowed like that, and he was only banned for one game, and the Spurs Twin Towers were bullied like that by him, and you didn't even say a ban."
Lin Yu is full of fatigue, when people are tired, there will always be emotional out-of-control problems, and Lin Yu is now full of resentment towards the alliance officials.
He was actually right, the reason why Malone was so rampant was not the result of the official connivance of the alliance.
There is no way to refute what Stern said, and he also knows that what Lin Yu said is completely fine, and if other small role players dare to elbow the smiling assassin like that, it is definitely not a punishment of a one-game ban, and it is completely possible to ban for a whole season.
"Lin, I can't refute you, what you said is not wrong."
"Maybe it's time for something to change."
Stern sighed and said that he has been working hard to make stars and open the door to top stars all these years, and now it seems that there are successes and failures.
Naturally, Jordan was the one who succeeded, and he brought unimaginable wealth to the NBA.
The failure is naturally Ma Long, who enjoys the treatment of a top superstar, but because of his dirty style of play, he does not have much commercial value.
After hanging up the phone with Lin Yu, Stern called Xiao Hua, a dogleg.
"Adam, take this punishment report to a press conference."
Xiao Hua's face was shocked, the usual punishment reports were drawn up by himself, but this time Stern actually opened the punishment report himself, which shows that Stern attaches great importance to this incident.
He glanced at the punishment report slightly, and his face changed drastically.
"Mr. President, do you really want to give Lin such a heavy punishment?" Xiao Hua has always felt that Stern has a different view of Lin Yu, but in the current punishment report, Lin Yu's punishment is extremely heavy.
Twenty game bans, plus a $1 million fine, is a heaviest penalty like no other in NBA history.
Stern shook his head and smiled, "You look at the punishment of the Wizards players?" ”
Xiao Hua looked at the punishment of the Wizards players and found that it was much lighter than he thought, and he immediately understood Stern's intentions.
Transfer the punishment of the Wizards players to Lin Yu, with their understanding of Lin Yu, I am afraid that Lin Yu will not only not resent the league, but will have to thank the league.
"Mr. President, Lin Yu said that kind of thing in front of so many fans, I'm afraid there will be no way to end the game next, right?" Xiao Hua asked again.
Stern had an impatient look on his face, "Say what?" You mean buying Jazz and then relocating? ”
"Why do you want to end the game, if Lin Yu can do it, I raise my hands in favor, Utah doesn't deserve an NBA team."
"In terms of population, they have a population of less than three million, less than a fraction of the population of 40 million in California, and Texas has a population of less than 30 million to accommodate three NBA teams, and California is enough to accommodate four NBA teams."
"In terms of income, they are street beggars compared to Connecticut, which has a similar population."
"New York State has a population of 20 million, and in addition to New York City, there are Buffalo, Rochester and Albany without NBA teams."
"I can find at least twenty cities that are better home to NBA teams than Salt Lake City, with their damn high altitude and countless red necks and damn Mormon polygamy."
"Even if Lin Yu can't do it alone, I can help him, after all, this is a good thing for the NBA, running a league is the same as running a store, do you want your store to open in a remote place full of poor people, or do you want to open it in a place where rich people gather in a bustling metropolis?"
"Adam, usually think more, if you have always been at this level, how can I rest assured that the alliance will be handed over to you." Stern said to Xiao Hua with an attitude of hating iron and steel.
Xiao Hua nodded again and again, where did he dare to refute Stern.
Half an hour later, Xiao Hua held a press conference to announce the punishment for last night's game.
The first is the result of this game, which the league decided that the Utah Jazz won the game.
There is no way, everyone in the Wizards has been expelled, and there are still players to play on the Jazz side, so even if the Wizards lead the score when they exit, the winner is still the Jazz.
The last time Lin Yu led the team to fight against the Knicks, the situation was different, that time it was all 24 players on both sides who were ejected, so it was the side with the score leader who won.
At the moment, no one cares about winning or losing a mere regular season game, and nearly 100 reporters came to the scene, all waiting for the league's decision.
"For last night's vicious brawl, the punishment imposed by the alliance is as follows."
"Washington Wizards head coach Lin Yu, banned for 20 games, fined 1 million US dollars!"
The reporters in the audience gasped, good guy, directly fined a million dollars? Could it be that it is rumored that Lin Yu and Stern have a close relationship with the outside world, which is fake news?
The penalty of $1 million directly broke the NBA historical record, and the punishment of the other 20 games of suspension is also quite severe, and no coach has been punished with so many bans.
Reporters speculated in their hearts, could it be that Lin Yu shouted with a microphone that angered Stern? And then to invite such a severe punishment?
"Washington Wizards assistant coach Joe Bryant is suspended for seven games, Ray Jackson is suspended for seven games, and Bernie Biskdauff is suspended for five games."
"Washington Wizards Monk Battle is suspended for 10 games, Brad Miller is suspended for 14 games, Ratril Sprewell is suspended for 21 games, Paul Pierce is suspended for 11 games, Vince Carter is suspended for 7 games, Kobe Bryant is suspended for 5 games, Tracy McGrady is suspended for 3 games, Wang Zhizhi is suspended for 8 games, and Ricky Davis is suspended for 1 game."
The reporters in the audience looked weird, the league's punishment for the Wizards is not too light, but there is no penalty for everyone, it is just a simple ban, like Kobe and Maddy, the number of bans is very rare, at least compared to others, it is much less, they beat Jose Hawkins to death on the court, it stands to reason that the number of bans should be similar to Pierce and Carter.
The coach and players on the Wizards' side have a total of 17 people, except for the expert Bob Sr., the injured Xiao Ao and Nash, all of the others are suspended.
Nash wasn't seriously injured, he just gave Stockton an elbow, and after exiting, he eased up, and there was no major problem.
Reporters are curious about what kind of punishment the league will give to the Jazz.
"Utah Jazz player Karl Malone is suspended for 45 games and fined $15,000, John Stockton is suspended for 37 games and fined $15,000, Jose Hawkins is suspended for 17 games and fined $15,000, Gugliotta is suspended for 16 games and fined $15,000, and Jeff Hornacek is suspended for 10 games and fined $15,000."
Sloan didn't do anything because he didn't do anything because he was in the nature of a fight after he got on the court, so he didn't punish him.
When there is a conflict on the field, the players on the bench are not allowed to play at all, but the coach can go on the field to stop the brawl, of course, provided that he can't do it, and people like Lin Yu will definitely be banned.
The reporters gasped, they suspected that they had auditory hallucinations, what are you kidding, Malone was banned for 45 games?!
Malone has played a career of more than ten years, and he has injured countless people before, and the total number of bans is only two or three, but now this time, he has been banned for 45 games?
In addition, half of this season's games have passed, and with so many bans, Malone will not only be unable to play in the playoffs, but will still have to make up for many bans after the start of next season.
It's the same with Stockton, who won't be able to play in this year's playoffs.
The Jazz are still playing in the playoffs this year, and no matter what ranking enters the playoffs, they will definitely be swept out.
Perhaps the most wronged one is Jeff Hornacek, who hasn't done much, has been beaten almost all the time, and has been banned for 10 games.
Stern clearly wants Jazz to die, and doesn't leave Jazz a way to live at all.
Originally, the reporters were still wondering why Lin Yu was punished so heavily, but now they understand that this is Stern's balancing act again.
The Jazz feel that the punishment of their players is too severe, so you might as well look at the Wizards, the coach and three assistant coaches were suspended, and ten players were suspended, and Lin Yu, the coach, was fined a million dollars.
And for Lin Yu, this million dollars is just a small amount of money for sprinkling water, and he doesn't care at all.
