NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

That's right, the number Lin Lei called me was the NBA office phone number at New York headquarters.

The competitions are usually concentrated in the evening, and it is almost midnight when the competition ends.

At this time, the NBA headquarters building was brightly lit, and even President Stern, who was about to retire, got up in the middle of the night and rushed back to the NBA headquarters building as soon as possible.

The reason why the entire NBA is so nervous is the previous game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies.

Although this game has not yet started, the NBA has already made an inference that the Lakers will advance without any suspense.

Therefore, in order to prevent the game from losing its viewing experience prematurely, the league also specially sent a hint to the referees to let them take proper care of the Grizzlies. First of all, this is the home of the Grizzlies, and a little home whistle is normal.

The second is to not hit the home fans, and to support the enthusiasm of the Grizzlies fans.

But who would have thought that this order from Stern and the top of the league would instead make the long-overdue game between the two sides more intense, and only then did Rudy Gay lose his mind and push Lin Lei, causing him to be accidentally injured. occur.

Originally, Stern had already rested, but when he learned that Lin Lei was injured, he woke up and felt extremely regretful.

But since the matter has already happened, we must hurry up and solve it. After all, fans all over the world are paying attention to this matter. The sooner the NBA league proposes a solution, the sooner it can stabilize the hearts of fans and friends.

Stern first had a telephone exchange with several referees in the NBA, and at the same time, he conducted a careful analysis of the situation at the scene with a group of professional referees at the referee headquarters.

The first thing that can be determined is that Rudy Gay's foul this time is obviously a malicious foul, and it is still in the case of no defense at all.

Because he was too late, this time the defense was directed at Lin Lei, not to stop his ball at all.

For this situation, Stern was even more angry, and made a decision on the spot to impose a heavy penalty on Rudy Gay, and to inform the whole league of criticism, and at least 50 games were suspended.

It is not uncommon for a malicious foul to be suspended for dozens of games. The most serious one is Artest, but it was only when he rushed directly into the audience to beat the fans, and he was suspended for more than 70 games.

A 50-game ban like Rudy Gay, to tell the truth, the referees on the scene felt that it was a bit too serious.

But everyone is also very clear that Stern has always been a vigorous and resolute figure, and will not listen to the opinions of the referees at all, and this matter has already been settled.

Next, it was time to deal with several other Lakers and Grizzlies players who were directly involved in the brawl on the court.

Regarding this matter, Stern and a group of executives and referees of the league are still very cautious.

According to NBA regulations, as long as a player participates in a fight, they will be expelled on the spot, and will also face suspension and fines later, at least 1-2 games.

As for the number of games suspended, it mainly depends on how bad the impact was at that time.

For the current Lakers, the fine is simply trivial, it is simply a drop in the bucket, and it is not worth mentioning.

What worries them the most is the suspension.

The Mavericks had already shown their strength in the previous game against the Thunder.

They can press the young and energetic Thunder to play, which shows that this team also has the ability to enter the finals and even win the championship trophy.

But if you really want to suspend these players, the situation will become very critical.

Whether Bynum, Artest or Beverley, the Lakers are an indispensable point to win the championship.

These players may not be as good as Lin Lei on the court. They have very obvious statistics like Kobe, but without their support, it is impossible for Lin Lei and Kobe to beat each other 5 times.

Moreover, now Lin Lei has been injured, there is no way to return to the game for the time being.

In this case, suspending a few Lakers' main players is equivalent to directly letting them fall from a strong contender for the championship, which will also affect the league's desire to build momentum.

But this game is also watched by fans all over the world, and it is clear that several players have already participated in the fight. 233

In particular, Artest directly pressed Rudy Guy to the ground and beat him. Rudy Guy's face was already deformed, and he might even need to go to the hospital for surgery.

The brawl turned out to be very bad, no less than the Auburn Hills incident in Artest.

If the league turns a blind eye, it will definitely be criticized by fans all over the world.

For a time, Stern and the NBA behind him were also caught in a dilemma.

Just as Stern was thinking about how to turn this matter into a small one.

Lin Lei's phone call came unexpectedly.

Usually, when Stern was in a meeting, he would not answer anyone's phone call, and even reprimanded his assistant.

However, when Stern learned that it was Lin Lei's call, his expression changed and he even felt a headache, so he couldn't help saying to himself.

"Why did this little ancestor suddenly call at this time!"
