The Way of the Center

Chapter 455: After the Conflict

"Are you kidding me!? We are the victims!" When Ricard saw the referee's gesture clearly, the tempered coach immediately rushed to the referee to question. A second-level malicious foul, which not only means that Anjie will not be able to play in the future, but also has the risk of subsequent suspension.

"You saw the coach, this is a decision I have to make." The referee's attitude is very tough, zero tolerance, this is the greatest right David Stern gives to the referees.

"Hey, I was seriously violated! Ann also reacted after being hurt by Cousins. It is true that there is a second-level malicious foul, but you should award Cousins ​​alone!" Lillard is also surrounded by the referee at this moment. An Jie stood up for him, so he naturally wanted to defend An Jie.

Subsequently, the players and coaches of the Kings also gathered around the referee. Everyone says their teammate is innocent, everyone wants the referee to reconsider his decision.

"Stop talking! Continue the game! Anyone who wants to say something more, I will not be polite!" The referee was very impatient with this group of chattering guys.

"Who do you think you are? Fuck you!" Ricard would not be so bluffed. After hearing this sentence, the referee immediately gave Ricard another technical foul. But Ricard did not regret it, when he said that sentence, he was ready to eat T.

After being called a technical foul, Rickard continued to applaud, mocking the referee's decision.

"Damn it! I'm going to eat that kid!" Cousins ​​walked to the bench and stopped in front of an empty chair. He suddenly faced the chair angrily, and threw a set of combined punches at the cushion of the chair. The angry Cousins ​​had to use this method to vent his dissatisfaction.

An Jie, on the other hand, has been talking about the game with his teammates. He didn't want to cause the team to lose because of his departure.

In the end, the two big centers walked into the player channel with different states, and the game was finally able to continue. An Jie trotted back to the locker room, hoping to watch the live broadcast of the game through the TV in the locker room.

"It's not that Ann has had conflicts with others before. Both Stoudemire and David Lee are Anjie's mortal enemies. But there is indeed no one that can be as exaggerated as today's conflict. Both Ann and DeMarcus The person started a hand-to-hand fight directly, and you must know that DeMarcus' smash and Ann's punch are beyond the scope of pushing and shoving."

"When I heard that DeMarcus spoke to An before the game, I already guessed that the scene just now would definitely happen. An is not the kind of "traditional" Chinese player. Facing fierce opponents, he will only He is more vicious than the opponent. Although he is very kind and amiable when facing his friend An, butcher will never be soft when facing the enemy."

"Now that the core of both sides is unable to play, the situation of the game will definitely change. But the situation of the Kings is even worse. After all, on paper, the lineup of the Kings cannot be compared with the Trail Blazers."

After the conflict, the narrators of various TV stations also discussed with relish. After all, this kind of scene is not common. What's more, one of them was a yellow-skinned guy.

Yao Ming also had conflicts with his opponents when he was in the NBA, but most of the time, Yao Ming would choose to deal with it "gently". For example, when he clashed with former dunk king Desmond Mason back then, Yao Ming took the initiative to make friends with him.

Yao Ming's behavior is the American "traditional" perception of the Chinese.

In the eyes of most people, Chinese people are modest and peaceful, and rarely provoke troubles. It is also because of Yao Ming's personality that whenever someone tries to bully Yao Ming, there will always be someone on the Rockets who stands up for him.

But what An Jie did just now obviously broke the fans' impression of Chinese players. Whether you're Cousins ​​or any other villain, Angie has no fear!

Although the conflict is exciting, the game still has to go on. The Kings now lack the pillar of Cousins, and they don't know how to deal with the situation at all. The Blazers, who relied too much on Anjie last season, can use a lineup without Anjie to win this season. At least it is more than enough to beat a team like the Kings.

Andre Iguodala is definitely one of the most cost-effective players in this league. He is not a superstar, but when you need him to be a superstar, he can do it.

Since Anjie, Lillard and Aldridge will take a lot of shots in every game, Iguodala, the former star of the 76ers, does not have many opportunities to perform. Today when Anjie was expelled from the field, Ricard asked Iguodala to take all of Anjie's points. The corners of Iguodala's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this, and he only answered Rickard: "It's as easy as pie."

So in the subsequent games, the fans seemed to see the Iguodala who was in charge of the 76ers back then.

This guy quickly made up for the vacancy caused by Anjie's absence, and Wesley Matthews' performance was as good as ever.

During the offseason, many teams asked Wesley Matthews for a price. However, after listening to Ricard's suggestion, Orsi rejected all the offers without exception.

Matthews' performance last season was not stable enough, nor did he show too much strength. But Ricard believes that this hard-working undrafted pick will definitely improve after a summer of hard work.

Sure enough, Matthews' performance this season is much better than last season. With him continuing to output for the Trail Blazers from beyond the three-point line, the Kings simply did not dare to act rashly.

As for the Kings, after the absence of Cousins, others did not quickly make up for Cousins' vacancy. Tyreke Evans, as the No. 4 pick in 2009, was tortured to pieces by Matthews, the undrafted pick in 2009.

Kings athletic small forward James Johnson was going to take over the game, but in the matchup with Andre Iguodala, James Johnson was clearly at a disadvantage.

The last two hopes of the Kings have been shattered, and then they have no choice but to wait for death...

Under the indiscriminate bombing of the Trail Blazers, the Kings without Cousins ​​lost 103 to 86. Another big victory, and this time without An Jie's presence. If Anjie was on the court, the ending of the Kings might be even more tragic.

After the game, the reporters are not concerned about the result of the game, because the result of this game is easy to predict. All the attention is on Angie and Cousins, who are in conflict. Those things between them seem to be more important than the game itself.

"What did you say to the referee on the field to get a technical foul?" Not only Anjie and Cousins, Ricard, who got a technical foul during the conflict, has also become the darling of the media.

"I just told him that I needed a fairer punishment, but in the end, that guy punished me angrily." Ricard's understatement was true. But there is no way, Ricard can't say that he greeted the referee's mother.

"When my teammates are violated, when I am not respected and I am in danger of being hurt, I think that is what I should do." Facing the camera, Anjie did not hide the fight. Not only did he boldly admit that he had hit someone, but he also said that he deserved it and played it beautifully.

"This game is finally over, because I don't want to see Ann's disgusting and fake face again!" Cousins ​​naturally wouldn't show mercy. I thought that this game would allow the two big men to resolve their grievances, but now it seems that the grievances between An Jie and Cousins ​​are even greater.

After dealing with everything, Ricard quickly called the NBA official and applied for a lighter treatment of Anjie's problem. However, NBA officials replied to him: "Now the committee is still studying this incident, please wait patiently for the results."

After hanging up the phone, Ricard turned his head and glanced at An Jie who was changing in the locker room.

"What did they say?" An Jie asked concerned. It's okay to be fined. What An Jie was worried about was that he would be suspended.

"They said they are still studying it, and they may need to call you for a meeting or something. I said, today's play was beautiful, but you have to be more secretive in the future." Ricard does not want his team to be ostracized by others. Bullying, but at the same time, he doesn't want his main force to be suspended for a second-level flagrant foul.

Early the next morning, the news of the conflict between Cousins ​​and Angie in yesterday's game was overwhelming. Many domestic sports newspapers even put this matter on the headlines. It's really uncommon for a Chinese to fight with someone in the NBA. Uncommon news is also the best seller.

An Jie got up and tidied himself up. He was about to go out in the sunshine when he found his phone vibrated.

An Jie took out his mobile phone. Normally, no one would call him at this time. Neither domestic nor foreign. But looking at the string of unfamiliar numbers, An Jie decided to connect the phone.

"Hello."

"Hello, we are the NBA Behavior Investigation Committee. Are you Mr. An?" The voice of the man on the phone was very low.

"That's right, it's me."

"At 12:00 noon today, please come to the conference hall on the fifth floor of Bomante Hotel on time. We will discuss and study your behavior there, please be sure not to be late."

"Okay, thank you." An Jie hung up the phone. It seemed that he couldn't make it to today's training.

Since Anjie's image has always been the main force of the NBA's overseas publicity, the league attaches great importance to the adverse effects he has brought on himself and the league. So regarding the result of Anjie's punishment, the league is planning to hold a hearing in Portland specifically for him.

After graduating from school for so long, An Jie never expected that he would be invited into the "office" again because of a mistake.
