Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After beating the Timberwolves, the Mavericks rarely returned to their base camp in Dallas that night, and over at the league headquarters in New York... Faced with the unexpected incident in Minnesota tonight, President Stern had a headache.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this incident was a vicious brawl. On the Timberwolves’ side, Riley acted as a stepping stone, and Ryder maliciously hit and hit the last shot. The Mavericks’ counterattack was too brutal. Garnett and Kidd double-played Riley. Crotty was literally going to kill Ryder.

It was just a fight on the court, but the Mavericks staged a farce that stormed the Timberwolves locker room after the game. Even the Mavericks head coach Gordon was involved in the battle. This movement is not a big deal. Now the sports media in the United States are exploding. Pot, competing to report on this league scandal.

How to issue a fine was Stern's biggest worry, and Adam Silva, the president's special assistant, actively offered suggestions.

In order to combat bad trends!

In order to rectify the thorny players!

In order to maintain the image of the alliance!

Otherwise...let's punish the Mavericks severely.

Punish the Mavericks heavily?

Stern knew that Silva's suggestion was somewhat influenced by subjective factors. After all, Silva was crushed by Li Shengli not long ago. His temperament was a bit feminine, but that heavy blow to the crotch blew away all the remaining male hormones. .

But...even if Silva has some subjective judgments, Stern also thinks it makes sense, because the NBA is a basketball league and not a boxing match. Even if the Timberwolves commit the crime first and the Mavericks take revenge for Li Shengli later, this is This is not the reason for the 'lynching' of Mavericks.

Let the players decide whether it is right or wrong, so what is the use of officials?

If all teams were like this, wouldn't the fighting culture become popular?

Therefore, Stern, who had the power of public sentencing, was much more ruthless than Silva. He directly convened an emergency meeting to finalize the incident, and the penalty notice was quickly issued.

…

For the Timberwolves...

Riley did commit subjective and malicious behavior, and was suspended for 2 games and fined 20,000. This fine was a bit outrageous. After all, to put it bluntly, Riley was a malicious foul that did not cause too serious consequences. In the past, it was only a 1-game suspension, but he can be banned. 2. The penalty of 2 penalties is more like giving the people behind you the bottom of the standard line for this penalty.

Riley was given such a heavy penalty, so there was no reason for Ryder to be lenient, even though both of them were almost beaten up, and the official ticket... Ryder was also banned 2 times and fined 2 times.

As for the Mavericks…

The Timberwolves directly matched the fine, and the official fine issued to the Mavericks can only be said to be more severe than that of the Timberwolves.

Garnett and Kidd participated in the fight and were also suspended for 5 games. However, the situation further escalated due to their participation. The fine was twice as much as Leder. The two brothers were fined a total of US$40,000. As for Crotty ... He was suspended for 10 games and fined 40,000. The reason is that this guy's bloodthirsty nature frightened all NBA fans and caused extremely bad effects.

The brawler has been punished, but the following punishment is very interesting.

Curry took the lead in attacking the opponent's locker room and was directly fined 50,000 yuan without being suspended. Gordon, the head coach, not only failed to stay rational at the critical moment, but also joined the farce and was also fined 30,000 yuan.

…

Blood loss!

Damn it!

After the official's combination of punches, the Mavericks' lineup and financial losses reached the maximum. Although the Dallas Mavericks fans were angry, they were helpless...the voices of resistance could not withstand the official's determined sanctions.

You know, it was astonishing to issue fines worth tens of thousands of dollars in the 1990s, because at that time, the minimum fine for breaking a rule or getting into a fight was $2,500, but this time... an exception was made directly, exceeding the fine limit. It was the Mavericks' first team that received several fines, and the total amount reached a huge 160,000.

160,000 doesn't sound like much, but it can't be said that in this era, everyone's contracts are not high, and such a penalty... Kidd and Garnett hugged each other and cried. After all, fines, suspensions, and no wages, they lost more than just money. As for Curry, Li Shengli had an old relationship with him, so he directly dragged Crotty to Li Shengli... for reimbursement!

…

The day after returning to Dallas, the Mavericks’ training routine.

"Li, aren't you busy?" Curry came over seriously.

"Nonsense, why am I so busy even though I'm injured? I'll watch you practice, and I'll go back to sleep in a while!" Li Shengli's two minor injuries have been treated, and the injury report given by the team doctor shows... The rematch will require at least half a month of training, which means that in addition to Garnett, Kidd, and Crotty, the Mavericks will directly eliminate 4 of their main players in the next few games.

"Does that mean I'm not busy anymore? It's good that I'm not busy. Actually, I have nothing to do. I just want to chat with you!"

"It's not that simple, is it?"

"It's very simple." Curry touched the ball next to him. "Lee, look at this ball. Does it look like the ticket Stern gave me this morning? Oh, God, they are so similar. As for me, when I saw this ball, I felt so sad that I couldn't breathe, but...but how should I solve this damn problem?"

"Why the hell...do you want this fine to be mine?"

"Oh, my God, it's amazing. When you say that, I suddenly feel that my waist and legs no longer hurt, and I can even breathe more vigorously!"

shameless!

Li Shengli was simply convinced by Curry, and Curry ran away happily. Kidd felt itchy when he saw it, and quietly touched it.

"Lee, look at this... By the way, look at my sneakers. Do they look like the ticket Stern gave me this morning? Oh, God, they are so similar that..."

"Damn it, Kidd, tell me, do you lack imagination? Can't you come up with something new if you just copy Curry's lines?" Li Shengli's face turned dark, "Okay, okay, your ticket will be counted on me too." of."

…

Is it okay to ride on a horse?

They have all made money. Will I lose money if I don’t go?

Seeing Curry and Kidd succeed, Garnett couldn't hold it in any longer and knocked on the door. Li Shengli was so angry that he cried, "Kevin, have you thought of something like your ticket?"

"No, I'm different from them!" Garnett cleared his throat, "I'm still young, I think I can bear these criticisms and fines, but... can you bear to see me fined by this bastard Stern? "

"I can!"

"no, you can not!"

"Kevin, believe me, I really can!"

"No, you just can't. You took care of them all. I don't care, you have to take care of me too!" Garnett hugged Li Shengli with heartache, and hugged Li Shengli until he grimaced in pain.

"Gungun, don't play rogue with me. I'm going to be destroyed by you."

"I don't care, you have to protect me!"

"Fuck you, uncle, who did you learn to act like a rogue from?"

"It was Curry. Curry asked me to do this. He said you are a compassionate person!"

"Okay, okay, you...I'll take care of you all. Go tell Coach Gordon and I'll take care of him too!"

"What about Crotty?"

"Nonsense, Crotty is using you to apply? I'll even cover his pension!"

…

Can't stay any longer!

We can no longer stay in this place.

Li Shengli decided to run away. Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he could only let Crotty drive the car and take him home. But when he got home...his cousin and Dongzi who had committed the crime seemed much more honest and were ready to pack their luggage. After returning home, he handed Li Shengli a note before leaving.

"What is this?"

"Public... public expense reimbursement form!" My cousin said coyly.

"Cousin, you are really good. You have caused such a big mistake for me... ok, ok, ok, I don't care about anything today, let's see what you got in return."

He didn't look angry, but at first glance... Li Shengli's face turned black and angry, "What are these ten 'happy fees'? It costs five thousand US dollars?"

My cousin said sheepishly: "As the name suggests, Dongzi and I haven't been back for a long time, so we just had a taste of it."

"Five hundred once? You%￥#@#...this is obviously not the market price!"

"Do you know the price?"

"Nonsense, of course... I have a friend who likes to do this, he told me." Li Shengli was convinced by these two people, feeling as if the sexual harassment was not unjust to them, "Okay, I will tolerate the pleasure fee, you guys It's good to be happy, but...what the hell is this big wind blowing?"

"Be subtle, be subtle! The strong wind blows, as the name suggests, it blows..."

"Damn it, why aren't you included in the happiness fee?"

"No, this thing is based on battle results and battle positions. Since reimbursement is required, the reimbursement categories must be more detailed."

"This...is this the reason why you two have played together 30 times?"

"You have only been in the United States for a few days. How many times do you have to be happy a day? Can you hold on? Huh?" Li Shengli collapsed, "Okay, I'll repay, I'll repay, okay? Come on, let me go, non-stop." Go back to your country and don’t come back again!”
