Chapter 478: The league's ticket, Stern's attitude
The Spurs lost to the Bulls. Li Lei scored 50 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds in the whole game, and slapped Popovich in the face. However, the reporters after the game did not care about Li Lei's data. They were more concerned about the conflict between Bowen and Li Lei. To be precise, Bowen fell down before the conflict even broke out.
"Bruce, can you describe what happened between you and Bruce Bowen?"
At the press conference, espn's reporters began to cause trouble again and couldn't help but start to cause trouble, while Popovich on the other side was like a dead mother. Bowen is not the core offensive point of the Spurs, but he is the absolute defensive center of the Spurs. Now he can only pray that Bowen will not be seriously injured. If he misses many games, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Spurs.
Li Lei took a sip of Red Bull and cleared his throat, "Well, this question, I think Coach Greg has a more say than me."
Puff, Popovich, who was on the side, wanted to take out a gun and give Li Lei a direct shot. Why didn't he continue his studies when he was young? Otherwise, a little red guy like Li Lei would have been fucked long ago.
The reporter repeated the question to Popovich, who had a dark face, "I think this is murder. As a superstar, Bruce shouldn't do this..."
"Shouldn't do this? In Greg's eyes, Vince, Allen, Andre's accusations are all fake. They are all a bunch of sissies without any balls. They will become soft when they meet Bruce Bowen. Is that what it means, Coach Greg?"
He really didn't shake Bilian. When he reached this point, he was still defending Bao Wen. Although he was right from the perspective of the head coach, he did this, but he could not accept it. Li Lei said it very quickly and completely interrupted Popovich's long-lastingness. The reporters once again focused their goals on Li Lei's side.
"Bruce, are you saying true?"
Li Lei nodded, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask the parties involved. It's only more or less.'
The press conference was over, but the turmoil about the incident seemed far from over.
The next day, Bowen's inspection report came out, and his feet were broken, which meant that all games this season would be reimbursed. This was absolutely shocking news for the Spurs, and Li Lei successfully became the person Popovich hated the most.
However, after interviewing several parties mentioned by Li Lei, the reporters did reveal many of Bowen's ugly behaviors. Compared to Kalmarone, Bowen knew more about it. He was a complete combination of Kalmarone and Billland Bill. Those two people know, he knew, and those two people don't know, he would do it.
This greatly affected the reputation of the Spurs. Apart from the Spurs' true fans, other fans are increasingly not attracted to the Spurs. Although the NBA does not reject fierce collisions, you are not recommended to those who are trying to smash people's jobs. Isn't this the reason why the Detroit bad boys army was so unwelcome?
Many Duncan fans advised Duncan to leave this place of right and wrong, but Duncan did not respond to this.
According to insiders, the reason why Bowen was trampled by Li Lei was because he wanted to step on his feet and copy the bad behavior of Lan Bill and others. As soon as this news came out, it caused a big wave of exaggeration in the league. Ordinary basketball players jumped well. When they landed, if they encountered a pair of scissors feet, I believe everyone knew what would happen.
There are no ones who sympathize with Bowen, and some extreme fans even let Bowen get out of the league, and Stern was also very angry. He didn't understand why Li Lei was so rude at the press conference. Now, it's right to see Li Lei doing this. He finally established a God of Wealth and just saw some profits. If Bowen succeeded in laying his feet, then you don't have to think about it and know that Li Lei was reimbursed for the season, and the league's profits will definitely be affected.
So the league was very angry. They had never considered the psychological feelings of Popovich's old silver coin and directly issued a ticket to the Spurs. In addition to Bowen's malicious footwork and fined $300,000, the other one was to suspend Bowen for half a season, starting from when he would come back.
Si's godfather was really angry. Currently, the four major points guards in the league, Li Lei and others are rare resources in their eyes. If any one is scrapped by Bowen, who will cry for him? Stern is very simple to do this, making Bowen dare not do this in the future. If he continues to do this, there will be only one fate - get out of the league.
The ticket issued by the league made all NBA teams gasp. The Spurs really lost their wife and soldiers, and Popovich was even more furious. He wanted to find out the person who was informed and found out that person. He had a premonition that person was inside the Spurs, and it was very likely that he was a player. Such a guy who was stingy inside would never tolerate it.
Bowen's incident came to an end. Although he punished him, it also sounded the alarm for other dirty players in the league. Bowen's today is their tomorrow. There is no problem with playing well and defending well, but if something goes wrong, the outcome will be like this.
Bowen's incident is still fermenting, while the Bulls are ushering in their last opponent in 2002 - the Portland Trail Blazers. This season's Trail Blazers have no particularly big deal except for trading with the Bulls.
In this game, both sides played peacefully. Mr. Pi played in a match that was not passionate at all. He made 5 attempts in the game and scored 4 points. The Trail Blazers did not lose this kind of game-like play because Brand showed his power and scored 34 points and 13 rebounds in the whole game, and the rest of the Trail Blazers also scored in double digits.
The Bulls have an old problem again, and Li Lei has no longer the hot feeling of the previous game. Perhaps the buff brought by Bowen has disappeared. In this game, Li Lei only had 13 points and 7 assists, and the Bulls also lost at home. They lost to the Trail Blazers, ending their regular season journey in 2002, and their record was frozen 25-6. But even so, it still does not prevent the Bulls from becoming the number one in the East and the number one in the league, because the number one in the West has dropped its popularity and has suffered a series of losses.
The Spurs, who lost Bowen, looked like a tiger without teeth when facing other opponents. Although Duncan is still very strong, the others are playing rubbish, and he is a forward, and he can't lead the way at all.
