Chapter 356 The Battle of Shame and Glory(2/2)
Then, James deleted his previous tweet supporting Paul.
The Miami media tried to create public pressure, but Chicago did nothing. They knew they were being calculated.
Therefore, they would rather Joakim Noah be suspended than make the Miami Heat pay the price. Their mood is the same as that of the Lakers, and they hope the Clippers win.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
What's more, the relationship between Fan Xi and Ross has always been very good.
Not long after the game ended, Fan Xi had a phone call with Rose.
Fan Xi encouraged Ross. Although he didn't say anything like "The future belongs to you," his simple words made Ross feel warm in his heart.
Ross also firmly believed on the phone that Fan Xi could defeat the Big Three again and defeat the so-called super platinum generation.
At this moment, they are in the same camp and share the same hatred and hatred.
Fanci also said that he would avenge Rose and invited Rose to watch the game in Los Angeles.
Ross readily accepted over the phone.
…
The league announced the additional penalties on Thursday night, one day earlier than the Lakers and Clippers' announcement.
Clues can be found from media reports. The media revealed that on the night of the game, Stern, who was watching the game at the United Center, became furious when he saw the fight between the two sides. He angrily said to the people around him: This is sabotaging the game.
rule.
And this rage was also reflected in the penalty sheet.
Joakim Noah was suspended for an additional eight games, Haslem was suspended for an additional eight games, and both were fined $35,000. Mike Miller was suspended for an additional game and fined a symbolic $1,000.
Obviously, league officials were furious.
If this model continues to develop, there will be no need to play games in the future. Each team will send a role player who cannot play, and grab the opponent's core players to fight.
What kind of sportsmanship is this?
David Stern told the media that they will strictly investigate violence on the court in the next games and next season. Once it is found that it was intentional, not only will the players be punished including a lifetime ban, but the team will also be severely punished.
Penalties include, but are not limited to, huge fines and deduction of draft picks.
David Stern is a courageous and capable league leader. Under his leadership, the NBA has transformed from an unknown minor league into the American league with the greatest influence and commercial value in the world.
Taking credit for greatness.
After these words were reported, all teams were silent, realizing that the trend created by Paul could not continue to spread.
Paul, the instigator, made a bad start, but was quickly killed.
…
Since the Clippers lack three major rotations and the Miami Heat lose their main interior rotation and second shooter, their battle has become somewhat suspenseful.
Because Haslem won't be able to play this season, he has been suspended too many times.
Both Kwame Brown and Stephen Nash can return to the game. If the Clippers are not swept in the first four games, Jimmy Butler also has a chance to return.
Therefore, there is now a voice in the media that the Miami Heat will have a chance to take a 3:1 lead, and then after the fifth game, the Clippers will have some advantages, and this finals is very likely to reach a tiebreaker.
And it will become the most exciting and competitive game in NBA history.
Because both sides of the game have an unprecedented desire for the championship.
On the one hand, it is revenge. If the Miami Big Three are killed by Fanshie again, their historical status will be greatly reduced, and LeBron James' reputation as the "Chosen One" may even be affected.
The other side is desire. The old guys of the Clippers are too eager for the championship. They have all reached a tacit understanding in their careers. This is their last chance, and they will definitely give it a try.
What can stimulate human beings to strive upward is either shame or glory.
This year's finals is a battle of glory and shame.
Will the old players of the Clippers get the glory they dream of, or will the ambitious Miami Heat cut off the shadows in their hearts and destroy the downpour of humiliation?
The spectacle of the finals has become brighter than ever.
Television advertising costs have doubled.
Ticket prices in Miami have skyrocketed, even surpassing last year's 23vs24 stunt.
In Los Angeles, ticket prices for the Clippers' Finals have also reached unprecedented levels.
You know, this is the first time in history that the Clippers have entered the finals.
In order to satisfy the fans, the Clippers sold tickets for all three home games at once.
At this time, some Lakers media outlets were saying sourly: What a hassle it would be if they had to refund their tickets if they couldn’t play the fifth game!!
