Less than fifteen minutes later, Mashburn's big brother kept ringing.
"They're here, brothers, let's go to the parking lot and see if these New York guys have the guts."
Mashburn said with a fierce expression. He suffered a big loss tonight. Not only was he beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but his knee was kicked by his aunt. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise his career would have been almost ruined.
"Jamal, don't go too far. It's not okay to use knives or guns. This is not a movie."
Old Bernie quickly said that he was now in the same mood as a dog in the sun. He came out to play a game, and it went from a shocking group fight to a gang fight.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool."
"I just want to show those guys that New York City is not theirs."
When Mashburn said this, he was full of domineering. Lin Yu wished he could find a black windbreaker and put it on him. Doesn't he look like Shanghai Ma's brother?
The group of people went to the parking lot, and the timid old Bob really got it right. Auntie led a group of people to block in front of the Bullets bus.
There were Knicks players and Knicks staff in this group, about 20 people in total.
However, Oakley was not seen among them, and it was obvious that he was too lazy to continue to interfere.
"Lin Yu, I said you can't leave this arena tonight."
The aunt's head was covered with dense bandages, and it looked a bit funny when she said harsh words.
Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Larry, you are in such a miserable state now that the cruel words you say are not cruel at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of strong black men with dragon and tiger tattoos trotted over and hugged Mashburn one by one to say hello.
The faces of Aunt Ma and others changed dramatically, realizing that tonight they seemed to be changing from hunters to prey. They never expected that Mashburn was a native New Yorker.
The flying car next to him was almost dying of anxiety, secretly cursing his brother why he didn't come.
The two sides faced off for about five minutes. Feiqi saw a black Cadillac drive into the parking lot and was relieved. His brother was here.
"Huh? Dre, why is it just you?"
"And it's so late. If I were kidnapped, you would have to help me collect the body if you came now."
Speedy said dissatisfiedly to the visitor.
The more Lin Yu looked at the man in front of him, the more familiar he became. He looked like an Ou Shenxian in his eyebrows. Could this Dre be Irving's father, Dredrick Irving?
"I was driving 180 miles, and the gas pedal was almost smoking."
"The others will come later. What happened? Who beat you like this?"
Old Irving looked angry. He and Fei Che were childhood friends and grew up together. Seeing Fei Che being beaten like this in New York, he felt distressed and angry.
Speedy waved his hand, took old Owen's hand and walked to Lin Yu.
"Boss, this is my brother Dredrick Irving. You've already signed Jamie King, why not sign Dre too?"
"I can guarantee that Dre is much better than Jamie King. He is the second player in the history of Boston University."
Lin Yu almost vomited blood in front of Speedy. You've been beaten like this, and you're still thinking about benefiting your brother? You are so generous...
"Yes, but the salary must be the basic salary. No matter how much salary I want to give, my boss Paulin will definitely not agree to it."
"How about $150,000 a year, signed for two years?"
Lin Yu agreed in less than three seconds of thought.
Of course he had his own reasons for agreeing so happily. The first is that the Bullets will face a large-scale ban in the future. According to Lin Yu's understanding of Stern, he will definitely be very ruthless this time, and maybe he will leave a lasting impression on the Bullets. Five players were suspended and the rest were suspended.
The old Irving's strength is definitely not that good, otherwise he would not even be able to enter the NBA. However, he is in his prime at this age, and his immediate combat ability will definitely not be worse than Jamie King.
Just like what Speedy said, Jamie King has signed, why can't he sign the old Irving.
In addition, Lin Yu is actually very curious about what kind of person old Irving is, who can cultivate a guy with a strong backbone like Ou Shenxian.
Old Owen stood there blankly, speechless, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He is also a professional player. After graduating from college, he played in the Australian league for two years because he was unable to enter the NBA, but did not make any difference, so he returned to the United States.
He never dreamed that at almost thirty years old, he would still have the opportunity to enter the NBA and even sign a two-year guaranteed contract.
"Thank you... thank you..." Old Owen was so excited that he was speechless.
Speedy hugged old Irving and said, "You go back first, pack your luggage, take the children directly to Washington, and stay at my place first."
Lin Yu was deeply moved by what he saw. Speedy could sometimes be annoying with his mean words, but he was indeed a good person.
Not long after Old Owen left, a car drove into the parking lot, and out of the car were big men, all of whom were childhood friends of Speedy.
Seeing dozens or hundreds of unknown people gathering in the parking lot, the aunt and others were at a loss. What should they do now? Just running away in despair? If word spreads, where will their old faces show their faces?
Xiao Hua's appearance helped the Knicks generals a lot, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin, the game has been cancelled, and there will be no rematch. You should go back and rest as soon as possible."
"Larry, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Hua looked unhappy. Looking at this posture, did Auntie come to the parking lot to block the Bullets bus? If Stern found out about this, he would probably be even more furious.
Auntie snorted coldly and led everyone away. Xiao Hua also left, which made Lin Yu a little unhappy. He was just thinking about how Auntie would end the night. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua's magic weapon descended from the sky and relieved him. of circumference.
After staying in the hotel for one night, Lin Yu only felt nauseated in the middle of the night. Although he was not a medical student, common sense told him that this might be a symptom of a concussion.
Childs' punch was too hard, and Lin Yu's body could not bear it.
Early the next morning, Lin Yu had just gotten up when he heard old Bernie knocking on the door.
"Lin, the league's punishment results are out." Old Bernie handed Lin Yu a newspaper.
Lin Yu took a glance at it and almost lost his breath. This punishment was really too severe.
On the Bullets side, Ben was suspended for 13 games, Mashburn was suspended for 9 games, Jaylen Rose was suspended for 7 games, and Webb was suspended for 7 games. Among the starters, the driving suspension was the least, only three games.
Maybe it was because the flying car was beaten so badly that he was knocked down before he could even make a move.
The leg guy on the bench was suspended for 6 games, Jaren Jackson was suspended for 3 games, Murray was suspended for 4 games, Antonio Davis was suspended for 4 games, and Cassel was suspended for 4 games.
Five players were suspended from the starting lineup and five players from the bench. A total of ten players from the Bullets were suspended!
Not only were they suspended, all ten of them were also fined the maximum amount. The maximum fine under current rules is US$15,000!
In addition, Nickerson and General Harvey, who were not suspended, were also fined $15,000.
Daben was fined 10,000 U.S. dollars before, and now he is fined 15,000 U.S. dollars. His total salary this year is only 150,000 U.S. dollars, and after tax is deducted, he will probably only have less than 90,000 U.S. dollars left. Two fines will directly make him bankrupt.
Like Jamie King and Ray Jackson, they also have minimum salaries and pitifully small salaries. This kind of punishment is much more serious for them than a suspension.
After the players were punished, there were still penalties for Lin Yu and Lao Qiao.
Lin Yu was suspended for 10 games and fined US$70,000, while Lao Qiao was suspended for one game and fined US$10,000.
"Huh? Why am I fined so much? Isn't it the maximum fine of 15,000?" Lin Yu asked the old Bernie in front of him angrily while holding the newspaper.
"That's a maximum fine of 15,000 dollars for a player. There is no maximum fine for a coach, owner or general manager. It's not uncommon for people to be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars before." Old Bernie looked at Lin Yu distressedly and said.
He knew that Lin Yu's salary this year was only 220,000 US dollars, and this time he was fined 70,000 US dollars. He doubted whether Lin Yu could come up with so much money.
"So, fined me 70,000 yuan is not too much? Forget it, just fine me." Lin Yu waved his hand and said with an indifferent attitude.
He currently has more than 11 million in his bank account. When the charm points are rewarded in the future, 80% of them will be rewarded with US dollars. This mere 70,000 US dollars is nothing to Lin Yu.
Old Bernie looked confused. Is he so free and easy? Seventy thousand dollars is not a big deal? Or is it that Lin Yu is originally a kid from a rich family?
Lin Yu took another look at the New York Knicks' suspension, which was also severely punished.
Old Oakley was suspended for 9 games, Childs was suspended for 11 games, Big Mom was suspended for 8 games, Alan Houston was suspended for 7 games, and the Rams were suspended for at least 2 games.
The bench is also the same as the Bullets, five substitutes have been suspended, and two substitutes have not been suspended, but have been fined.
Lin Yu was dumbfounded. Obviously Stern did this on purpose. Each team left two substitutes. In addition, there were three players on the inactive list. Just five people could play in the game.
There is no doubt that this is the largest suspension in NBA history.
Next up for the Bullets are Howard, General Harvey, Jamie King, Ray Jackson and Nickerson, as well as the old Irving who Lin Yu just signed.
It seems that Uncle Huo has escaped a disaster by being taken off. If he had been at the scene, facing a fight of that scale, it would be impossible for him not to take action. His teammates were all beaten to death. He stood aside and watched the show. From now on, He doesn't want to be in the NBA. No one is allowed to point their fingers at him and scold him.
Lin Yu summoned all the generals and divided them into two groups. Those who were suspended followed Lin Yu back to Washington, while those who were not suspended were led by Old Bernie to Chicago to face the Bulls.
The old Irving hasn't signed his contract yet, and he can't play now. The Bullets only have five players available.
Seeing Uncle Huo taking four old and weak men to play against the Bulls, Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry. He shouldn't let the Bulls hang him up and beat him.
Speaking of this brawl, the Bullets suffered a great loss, but Lin Yu gained something.
First of all, Murray's favorability task was completed. A brawl broke out on the court midway through the first quarter. Houston did not score double figures, and Murray's favorability increased to 90 points.
Secondly, General Harvey's favorability task can be completed. In the next week, he will definitely start. Not to mention averaging 30 minutes per game, he has to average 48 minutes per game.
…
After returning to Washington, Lin Yu went to the hospital for a check-up. It was found that he had a slight concussion, which was not serious. It was a blessing in misfortune.
In the afternoon, he woke up and drove to the club.
Unseld had been waiting in the office for a long time. After seeing Lin Yu, his face showed a twisted expression, which was both helpless and funny. He wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and wanted to cry but couldn't cry.
"So what happened? Why did it end like this? Stern called me at one o'clock in the morning last night. I knew something was wrong before I answered the phone."
Unseld tried to remain serious and spoke in a deep voice.
Lin Yu helplessly spread his hands and said: "Childs of the Knicks made the move first, and then it happened naturally. If you ask me why, I can't answer you."
"Because our Bullets are too united right now?"
Unseld's face was startled. He couldn't refute the reason given by Lin Yu, but it was because they were too united. If they were not united, the speedster would be beaten, and other teammates would watch the fun, and it would not cause a large-scale There was a fight.
