The alliance finally announced the penalty decision at noon the day after the Battle of Tianwangshan in the East.
This is the attitude that NBA headquarters should have. They even gave a detailed investigation report.
The public opinion about this matter is too great.
Moreover, it will directly affect the direction of this season's finals.
Especially after the situation in the east becomes clearer.
The specific penalties are: Dwight Howard is suspended for 1 additional game and fined 2,000 US dollars. Kwame Brown is suspended for 2 games and fined 5,000 US dollars. Jimmy Butler is suspended for 4 games and fined 20,000 US dollars. Chris Paul is suspended for 7 games and fined 20,000 US dollars.
$35,000.
Paul's additional suspension is a combination of two penalties. The league added 2 games for his stepping on the ball, 5 games for elbowing Kwame Brown, and fighting with Jimmy Butler.
Judging from the penalty standards, they are consistent.
But both the Lakers and Clippers are very dissatisfied.
They all expressed their protests and complaints upwards.
The Lakers believe that the league's penalty to the Clippers is too light, while the Clippers believe that this penalty is too severe.
The media’s general perception of this additional fine is that the league left some room, but not much. Moreover, the penalty standards are consistent and fair.
For the Clippers, the landing of this boot means that they will have difficulty in the finals.
The famous sports commentator Bill Simmons even jumped out and said: Jimmy Butler gets a legal vacation. By the time he returns from the suspension, the Finals will be over. My suggestion is that he can book a vacation ticket in advance now.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who firmly say: "The Clippers will get through this difficulty. As long as they win one of the first four games, they will have a chance to drag the game into a tiebreaker, and Fan Xi is best at
A key play in a key battle.”
The schedule of the finals is different from other playoff series. It is a 2-3-2 game system. To a certain extent, this game system is more conducive to teams with weaker regular season records than 2-2-1-1-1.
A team.
However, the Clippers' attrition situation is too serious.
In particular, Jimmy Butler will not return until the fifth game. If he encounters the Heat, the Heat's forward and defensive line is the strongest partnership currently, and can even compete with Jordan Pippen as the strongest in history.
There are many rumors in the Los Angeles media that this is the sour mentality of Lakers supporters after being eliminated.
Fan Xi slowly became calm.
He even asked Yao, Nowitzki, Hill, Billups, Hamilton and Vince Carter to go fishing together.
This is an activity for the old guys.
"We're probably going to play the Miami Heat."
A group of people were sitting by the calm lake, chatting. It was a very pleasant scene and very clean. Not far away, the security personnel of the big stars were examining the surrounding environment, and the chefs they had brought were preparing exquisite dishes for them.
Lunch.
Wherever you have money, you will be happy.
"The Heat have nothing to fear." Nowitzki said nonchalantly while biting an apple from Asia: "If the Dallas Mavericks entered the finals last season, we could easily eat them one bite at a time."
Fan Xi has no doubt about this.
King Nuo has a great psychological advantage over the Big Three.
"Actually, there's nothing to worry about, Jack. We old guys are not idle. We have been recovering throughout the season. Now, it's time for those young guys to rest." Billups said next to him.
Vince Carter, Hamilton, and Grant Hill on the side nodded repeatedly.
These people are all heroes of the moment.
Although some of them have never played in the finals, they have seen many big scenes.
"Chauncy, I'm not a young guy." Stephen Nash complained next to him.
Billups' big head shook. This man nicknamed "Flounder" actually debuted later than Nash. Nash was born in 1996, and Billups was the third overall pick in 1997. Billups is also two years younger than Nash.
age.
"Who asked you to take away my playing time?" Billups said pretending to be angry. Then he was full of pride: It's time to let them know my power. I don't come to Los Angeles to make a living. I am Mr. Key.
,I am the finals mvp!
Billups is so proud.
While he was talking, his fishing rod was pulled away by a big fish. He hurriedly went to close the rod and almost fell into the water, which made everyone laugh.
However, he soon caught a big fish weighing over 10 kilograms.
He boasted: "I've always been a winner."
Everyone laughed for a while, and Grant Hill stood by the lake and sighed: "I never dreamed that my first trip to the finals would come like this. This is the wish I want to achieve most in my career."
"I'm mentally prepared to burn everything for the championship."
Grant Hill said firmly.
His chiselled face bore an unprecedented firmness of faith.
For this former Jordan successor, perhaps his legendary story has long since dissipated in people's dusty memories. Perhaps for young fans, this man should have retired due to injuries many years ago. Perhaps
All he left behind was the image of being overpaid and incompetent.
But for Grant Hill, all the past twists and turns are real, and the original belief has always been firmly concentrated in his heart.
Now, Duke's greatest and most outstanding superstar is fighting for the most dazzling honor of his career.
"Me too."
Yao Ming agreed softly beside him.
For Yao Ming, he is already a player who has "died" once. After returning from retirement, every game is extra money. Now that he has the opportunity to win the championship, why not give it a try?
He no longer wants to sit on the bench and wait for his chance.
He no longer wants to hold his watch and play every game.
He has emphasized this topic with Fanshie many times. After Kwame Brown was injured, he once again asked the coaching staff and the physical fitness team for additional training.
But he was not satisfied.
Fan Xi will not satisfy him either.
"Fishing is obviously a matter of self-cultivation, why do you old guys turn it into a swearing-in ceremony?"
Fan Xi teased everyone angrily.
"Let's talk about something lighter. Hey, Vince, I hear your wife is pregnant again?"
"You didn't delay anything." Fan Xi teased Carter.
Carter said to Fan Xi: "Jack, you should also hurry up. At your age, most of us are fathers."
Fan Xi shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to talk about having children. He was not an expert in this area. Moreover, in Fan Xi's impression, it seemed that only black people gave birth to children so early, usually in their teens.
Become a father.
Then he started to change the topic.
"Let's guess what kind of gossip TMZ will break out on Friday. I heard it's unprecedented breaking news. Leonardo told me it will be a super big name in Hollywood."
Fan Xi said: "But he promised it wasn't him. He said his relationship was stable recently and there was no big news."
Even these multi-millionaires and billionaires are nosy, and they begin to discuss who will fall into the crosshairs of Hollywood's largest media website.
Although by Friday night, they might have been on a plane to Chicago or Miami.
It's Tuesday now.
Tonight is the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals. If there is a seventh game, it will be on Thursday.
…
Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be held at the United Center.
On the way back from fishing, Fan Xi and Derrick Rose had a phone call that lasted more than 20 minutes. Fan Xi told Rose on the phone: Slow down the pace and never play fast with them. Although you are fast, you are unstoppable.
, but your teammates don’t follow up in time, and occasional sneak attacks and counterattacks are okay. However, don’t expect that you can kill LeBron and Wade alone.
"Let Caron Butler hold up James. If James wants to post up, Luol Deng can attack him appropriately. His post-up skills are not great, but he has a good combination of strength, speed and explosive power. As long as you find the key
, he will give up this attack point by himself."
Fan Xi gave a lot of advice.
Fanshi has a very high basketball IQ. Moreover, his post-up skills are very gorgeous, which is inherited from Michael Jordan.
In the evening, Fanci was sitting in front of the TV, with Taylor Swift sitting in his arms. They had just completed a very intense and perfect communication.
Now that Taylor has no strength, she lies happily in Fan Xi's arms and watches the game with Fan Xi.
"Jack, they said that this year's finals will be more difficult for you because the Lakers' guards used machinations to cause you to lose three players, right?"
Taylor Swift also pays attention to news in the basketball circle. In fact, she is a shareholder of the Clippers.
But she really doesn't care much.
She only cares about the annual dividends.
When Fan Xi told her that after the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers' valuation had risen to US$2 billion, and her investment valuation had easily tripled, she was shocked.
However, what Taylor didn't know was that once Fanci announced the agreement with Time Warner, the Clippers' market value would skyrocket.
But Fan Xi decided to postpone the announcement until the third game of the finals.
He hopes to complete this ceremony at home.
The game on TV will start soon.
Joakim Noah was so excited that he even started roaring like Kevin Garnett.
He's an energy kid.
Every team needs an extroverted energy releaser like him. He is an important defensive core for the Bulls, and he has strong support capabilities. He plays an extremely important role in Thibodeau's system.
In the opening game, he beat Camby with a jump ball.
Then, he used a beautiful screen and ran back into the paint area, receiving a pass from Ross to complete the alley-oop.
This goal once again proved that Miami still has opportunities to take advantage of even after acquiring Marcus Camby, an elite defensive center.
Joakim Noah's performance continued. When Wade threw away Luol Deng's defense and entered the paint area, using his sideways shot to finish, Joakim Noah flew over from one side and slapped him.
The basketball flew and hit Bosh on the shoulder and bounced off the court.
With every offense and defense, Joakim Noah made the scene boil.
The morale of the home team is through the roof.
At this time, Fan Xi was thinking that the Bulls might really drag the game into overtime.
In the following games, it can be seen that the Bulls are indeed absorbing Fanci's experience.
They really used Caron Butler to guard James and Luol Deng to track Wade, which had a certain effect. And Rose was also slowing down his speed. He changed his rhythm to humiliate his old rival Mario Chalmers... Rose
The most regrettable thing about his college career was that he was defeated by Chalmers in the NCAA finals.
Originally, Rose's college career could be as perfect as Carmelo Anthony's, leading the school to win the NCAA championship and MVP as a freshman. (Among active players, Carmelo Anthony's college career is the most legendary. Maybe
It’s also unprecedented.)
But, after all, it was just a little bit off.
Rose used his talent to continuously create offensive opportunities for the Bulls. Although the two sides played as ugly as a meat grinder, Taylor fell asleep in Fanshi's arms.
However, there are still many highlights.
In terms of tactics, there are even outstanding works that make Fan Xi applaud.
The level of both sides is very high.
Rose made Fan Xi secretly shocked. He felt that he was truly worthy of being named one of the three new generation superstars in the league.
Durant is the terrifying god of death. He is the strongest offensive weapon in the league today. Although his offensive methods are not as good as those of Kobe, Anthony and others, his height, wingspan, and soft touch are enough to defeat all defenders.
Looking at the ocean and sighing.
Derrick Rose is now showing another extreme. He is the 191-meter Iverson. At the same time, he also has a bit of Gary Payton and a bit of Jason Kidd passing... He will be a breakthrough combo guard.
Showed to another level.
The scary thing is that he is still making progress.
Since he has mastered the speed switch in place and his body has become more flexible, he has entered another realm.
Fanci believes that he will become a truly pioneering figure, and his future achievements will definitely surpass Allen Iverson.
The terrible thing is that this guy is becoming more and more accurate in the mid-range, and his emergency jump shot is like a precision-guided sight.
Within three years, the Bulls will surely surpass the Heat.
Fan Xi made a conclusion in her mind.
The rise of the Chicago Bulls has been unstoppable.
After halftime, the Bulls led by 3 points at 48:45.
The United Center was filled with excitement.
Fan Xi saw Taylor Swift asleep, so he carried her upstairs, who was as limp as mud, put her back on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and took a bath himself.
Wait for him to return to the living room and sit on the sofa.
The Miami Heat actually led by 6 points.
And launched a rapid attack with the attitude of sweeping thousands of troops.
When James used a domineering tomahawk dunk to complete the offense.
Fanci is saying: Where is Joakim Noah? Why not put Noah on the court?
At this time, it is the fifth minute of the third quarter.
Then, Fanci heard the anchor on the TV saying: "Joakim Noah shouldn't be so impulsive. If he is still on the court now, he can hold on to the momentum of the Miami Heat."
What? Joakim Noah got sent off?
What did I miss? What happened?
Fan Xi quickly opened her laptop and searched for relevant information.
When he saw the whole story, he was shocked at first, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
