legendary point guard

The fight at Madison Square Garden on the evening of December 15th was completely unexpected by everyone. Everything happened so suddenly.

In addition, the NBA has been committed to improving the image of the NBA in recent years. Nowadays, as long as you throw punches on the court, you cannot escape the suspension, not to mention that this brawl is even worse.

This undoubtedly caused serious damage to the alliance's newly improved image, and the most outstanding part of the fight was that it took place near the base camp of the entire alliance.

This brawl has also directly changed the recent phenomenon of trade rumors flying all over the league, and more people have focused their attention on this brawl.

In the eyes of many professional sports people, this fight was far less violent than the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident" two years ago. In a poll conducted by the sports website SportNation, 81% of voters believed that the biggest difference in the time of the two fights was that Nick

The friction between Sri Lanka and the Nuggets did not affect the fans in the audience.

But despite this, Yahoo columnist Michael Want still believes that the brawl between the Knicks and the Nuggets was worse than the brawl between the Pacers and the Pistons, because "this incident was entirely caused by the actions of the players and was not

They escalated the situation because of themselves.”

ESPN even conducted award evaluations for the protagonists of this brawl, and awarded seven awards for the most troublesome, the best style, the best sneak attack, the most innocent, the best black foot, the biggest scapegoat, and the full chest.

George Karl, who was awarded the "Confidence Award" by ESPN judges, is even more optimistic that Anthony, who averaged 31.6 points per game this season, will not be suspended for more than 5 games.

ESPN even made a CG simulation animation after the awards, and WWE officials quickly launched an animated version of the Madison Brawl, and announced the launch of a brawl-themed WWE Challenge, which further expanded the impact of the brawl.

expand further.

Such a scene was undoubtedly something NBA Commissioner David Stern did not want to see, and he decided to impose strict penalties on the players involved in the brawl afterwards.

Everyone knew that the league would likely issue another hefty fine this time. As expected, NBA officials held a press conference early the next morning to officially announce the penalty decision for the Madison brawl.

Ten players were sent off, and seven of them received suspensions from the league. The total number of suspensions for seven players reached 47 games. The players suffered salary penalties of US$1.2 million, and each team also suffered five penalties.

A penalty of one hundred thousand dollars.

Among them, Carmelo Anthony, the biggest player, has been suspended for 15 games, ranking sixth on the historical ban list, and will not be able to receive a salary of US$640,097 for these 15 games.

JR Smith and Nate Robinson were both suspended for 10 games and both lost more than $100,000 in salary.

Maddy Collins, who committed a flagrant foul that led to the brawl, was suspended for 6 games, and Jeffries, who was innocently attacked, was also suspended for 4 games.

Nene and Jerome James were suspended for one game each.

This heavy fine shocked the entire league. Although everyone expected a heavy fine for this fight, no one expected that the punishment would be so heavy.

The Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks filed appeals at the same time, but both were rejected. In the end, both parties had no choice but to accept the result.

The originally overwhelming trade rumors were all overshadowed by the news of the brawl. At this time, the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, Kevin McHale, directly canceled the previous trade offer for Linson.

McHale hung up the phone. Originally, he was only considering the Philadelphia 76ers. He didn't expect that the 76ers who proposed the trade first would take the initiative to interrupt the trade negotiations.

But McHale also knew that the suspension of the trade was a clear hint that Philadelphia had found Iverson's next home.

"We can't go to Philadelphia."

Lin Sen breathed a sigh of relief at the words of David Falk on the other end of the phone. At this moment, there were hundreds of fans outside his home.

Through the corner of the curtain, there were banners pulled up outside the house. The banners clearly stated that they hoped he would stay in Minnesota. The cries of condolences from the fans outside continued to penetrate his ears.

Lin Sen couldn't help but think of the first time he came to Minneapolis for a trial training. The scene of Kevin McHale personally picking him up seemed to be still in front of him.

Putting down the curtains at one corner, Lin Sen sighed: "Can David stay here?"

David Falk on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lin Sen would actually bring up the idea of ​​staying with the Timberwolves.

"Why stay?"

"I want to give an explanation to the fans who support me, and I don't want to be treated as a deserter."

"No one thinks you're a deserter."

"David, help me, I want to stay, even if I only finish this season."

Listening to Lin Sen's request, he disagreed with Lin Sen's insistence from the perspective of his agent, but this time he wanted to help Lin Sen.

He didn't know the outcome, but David Falk was determined that even if things went wrong, he would make Linsen a positive image rather than a cancer for the team.

"I'll try my best, but you know I can't guarantee the result. All I can do is let you stay or leave in the best way."

Lin Sen hung up the phone and felt uncertain about his future for the first time.

When he came to Minnesota, he thought he could create his own world here with the help of Garnett and enjoy everything here. But what he didn't expect was that it would become like this in just 20 games.

Lin Sen wrote on his Twitter account "I want to stay!".

There were nearly 30,000 comments in less than an hour after the news was updated. Among them, Lindsay Lohan, who had just opened a Twitter account, even directly @Linsen said that Orlando welcomes you.

Most of the female celebrities headed by Karolina Korkova expressed their support with @Linsen. Of course, many people hope that Linsen will be traded out.

But at this moment, an unknown small newspaper revealed that McHale and the Timberwolves boss may now choose between Linsen and Devin Casey.

It is very likely that Devin Casey will be fired as head coach rather than Linson being traded away.

David Falk nodded with satisfaction when he saw the news, and then deposited $5,000 into an account.

Although it was absolutely impossible for McHale to stand up and clarify this matter, he still couldn't stop the news from spreading.

Coupled with Lin Sen's Twitter message, many people are convinced.

Although there is no shortage of players forcing the head coach to leave in the history of the league, such a fact is too rare, let alone a rookie.

"This is absolutely impossible. Wood and I get along very well. He will play tonight. I believe those rumors will be disproven."

Just before the Timberwolves faced the Atlanta Hawks at home, Devin Casey said this to the media.

At almost the same moment, NBA official news came out that the Philadelphia 76ers, who had been trading with the Timberwolves, officially sent Iverson to the Denver Nuggets.

For a while, Lin Sen's inseparability was like a mystery.
