Chapter 424 New song creation, never part-time job
The league's stars all avoided talking about this court fight. Paul's good brothers James, Anthony and Wade did not stand up to speak for him. We are all smart people, and no one wants to cause trouble.
.
NBA Commissioner David Stern urgently convened a meeting with league officials to discuss how to punish the two stars and how to guide news and public opinion.
The officials are very aware of Stern's thoughts. They know that the CEO is now praising Chen Yan and they all say that the initiator of this incident is Paul and that he should bear more responsibility.
Stern also followed what these people said. He believed that Paul was the one who took the lead in provocation and took action. Only by severely punishing him can we prevent such things from happening again.
The punishment results were announced soon, with Chen Yan suspended for 3 games and Paul for 5 games.
The league said in a statement: "Paul was suspended because he provoked a conflict with physical contact, including small movements before the conflict and active punching. Chen Yan was suspended because he directly came into contact with Paul's body.
face, and knocked him to the ground causing him to faint."
It is well-founded and convincing. Fans and media are on Chen Yan's side. Most people think that Paul, who struck first, is the main culprit. Chen Yan can only be regarded as a self-defense counterattack at best, but his self-defense is slightly stronger.
Some.
Since players will not be paid during the penalty period, according to statistics from NBA salary expert Bob Marks, Chen Yan's three-game suspension will cost him 4.7 million U.S. dollars, and Paul's five-game suspension will cost him 14.3 million U.S. dollars.
Both of them are currently on rookie contracts, so the losses are not too big.
Suns coach D'Antoni said in an interview: "To be honest, I am a little surprised by the decision on the number of suspended games. After all, there was a precedent of ten to fifteen games for fist fights, but now for
Chen's penalty was only three games, which I think is acceptable and the Suns will not choose to appeal."
The precedent D'Antoni mentioned was the game between the Knicks and the Nuggets on December 16, 2006. 75 seconds before the end of the game, Nuggets player Jr. Smith dribbled the ball down the fast break, and Collins, who had lost his defensive position,
He followed behind to pursue the defense. When the defense was hopeless, Collins became angry and hugged Jr.'s neck, slamming the latter to the ground.
Jr., who had the "Jordan Experience Card", could not bear such a disadvantage. He stood up and attacked Collins, and the two sides struggled. Later, other players on the field also participated, which eventually led to a large-scale brawl.
While the players on both sides were arguing, Anthony, who was still in the backcourt, also rushed towards the crowd. Anthony, who rushed to the "battlefield", didn't waste any time and secretly punched Collins in the face, then turned around and
Ran back to the backfield area.
It was this simple punch that caused Anthony to be suspended for 15 games and cost him $640,000 in lost salary.
So after the fight occurred, the coaching staff, including D'Antoni, and the Suns' top brass felt uneasy, but now they are relieved.
At this time, Paul was lying in bed and regretted. He did not regret because of the suspension and loss of salary, but because of his personal image. The video of him being punched and knocked out has now gone viral on YouTube, making his fans, those who like to watch him
What do fans of the game think?
Chen Yan's mentality is very calm. The three-game suspension is regarded as a rest. Stars who were not injured in the previous life often took one or two rests for nothing. The only thing that makes him regret is that he will miss the Lakers in November.
The focus battle on the 20th.
In the next game, Chen Yan will go with the team to Detroit to challenge the Pistons. Suspension does not mean a holiday. The team is also disciplined. Chen Yan must fly away with the team during the suspension period.
In this game, the Suns lost to the Pistons 89-93. The game was decided in the last minute. Hamilton ran and caught the ball and hit a mid-range shot, making a key goal.
But no one stood up on the Sun's side.
When the final whistle blew, everyone missed Chen Yan very much. Without his output point of 38.1 points per game, it would be difficult for others to make up for it.
Not only scoring, without Chen Yan to attract defense, others will also face much greater pressure on the offensive end.
Stoudemire scored a game-high 32 points. In an interview after the game, he admitted that it was the most difficult game he had played this season.
In the second game against the Timberwolves, D'Antoni adjusted the starting lineup and put Azubuike in the starting lineup.
This adjustment had a miraculous effect. Azubuike made 10 of 14 shots from the field and efficiently scored 24 points to help the team defeat the opponent by a large score.
After the game, many fans believed that D'Antoni had found a way to deal with Chen Yan's absence. Some fans even ridiculed that Chen Yan was a little Azubuike. When he returns from the suspension, he may lose his starting position.
Ridicule is ridicule, but the gap between Azubuike and the top shooting guards has always been there. In the game against the Lakers on November 20, he was taught by Kobe Bryant.
Under Kobe's defense, Azubuike only scored one sports goal in the half and scored 3 points, while Kobe scored 18 points in the half and had 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
The game lost suspense in the fourth quarter. No one in the Suns could stop Kobe, and no one could stand up and challenge him.
In addition to Kobe, Garnett, the core inside and outside, and Camby, the defensive backbone who just joined the team this year, also performed well. The two teamed up to reward the Suns for 5 hot pots.
After Camby's arrival, the Lakers' defense was further strengthened. Compared to Kwame Brown, Camby's deterrence in the penalty area is more than one level higher. His presence also allows Garnett to focus more on the offensive end. This
It is also a disguised strengthening of the Lakers' offense.
Chen Yan watched the game with Swift in the stands throughout. After halftime, he lamented that the Lakers were much better than last year.
Fans are also lamenting that last season the Suns were able to dominate the Lakers in both the regular season and the playoffs, but now without Chen Yan, they were immediately defeated.
Chen Yan's importance to the sun is self-evident, and even the black fans cannot refute this.
Another Chinese player Sun Dasheng did not play tonight, but the difference is that Chen Yan was suspended and Dasheng could not play.
The big lead made the Staples Arena audience very satisfied. When the camera showed a close-up of Chen Yan, the whole audience shouted "Fake Chen" in unison.
Chen Yan was speechless. He had to be defeated even if he didn't play. Now "Fake Chen" has become an iconic slogan, just like fans in other cities shout "beat-la".
After the game, Chen Yan said hello to Kobe. After the two hugged, Kobe smiled and said, "How was it? It doesn't feel good to lose."
Chen Yan was dumbfounded by Kobe's competitiveness. He said with a speechless face: "Brother, you didn't know that I didn't play today."
Kobe laughed and said: "The results are the same, there is no big difference."
Chen Yan also smiled and said: "If I let you be arrogant once today, your luck will not be so good next time."
"I will convince you next time." After hugging again, Kobe walked into the tunnel.
During this period of suspension, Chen Yan had more time for himself. In the past few days, he revealed to Swift that he had composed a new song called "i-gotta-feeling".
This song is a classic single by the Black Eyed Peas in their previous life. The song has already topped the music charts in 20 countries including Australia, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada. It also topped the Billboard 100 in the United States on July 11, 2009.
It topped the Hot Singles Chart, winning the title for a total of 14 consecutive weeks.
In January 2010, the Black Eyed Peas won the "Best Pop Group/Group" award at the 52nd Grammy Awards for this song.
The melody of this song is very brainwashing. It is not difficult to sing and is very suitable for Chen Yan.
Chen Yan can't remember all the lyrics, but it's not a big problem. He filled in some. This song is mainly about rhythm and brainwashing melody. I believe it won't be too bad.
The last song "see-you-again" was sung for Swifty. Chen Yan planned to sing this song himself. His several performances on stage made him somewhat addicted to the stage.
On the night after the game, Chen Yan and Swift went to the recording studio to record the song together. After listening to the song, Swift was very surprised. She didn't understand why Chen Yan, a basketball player, had so much inspiration to write good songs one after another.
Now Chen Yan has half a foot in the entertainment industry. As his fame grows, some film crews come to him. Chen Yan feels that acting is very novel and wants to try it, but not now.
During the regular season, Chen Yan still hopes to focus on the game. He is not the kind of person who is half-hearted. He cannot accept being a part-time player or a part-time actor.
