"Murder! Murder! This is murder!"
Larry Brown shouted with his swollen mouth after being helped up by the 76ers players.
Lin Yu glared at Pig-head Brown, and the more he looked at him, the more disgusted he became. He wished he could go up and give him another set of five lightning whips.
"Dudududu!"
The referee blew the whistle and "invited" Lin Yu and Larry Brown out of the stadium. Although Larry Brown was beaten badly, he did take action after all, and everyone on the scene saw it.
And if he hadn't attacked Lin Yu's head first, there wouldn't have been such a big fuss tonight.
The referee was afraid that Lin Yu would beat Larry Brown severely after returning to the locker room, so he simply asked the on-site security to send the two people back respectively, and told them to guard the door of the locker room.
…
After returning to the locker room, Lin Yu became more and more angry as he thought about it. The back of his head still ached slightly, but the palm of his hand hurt even more. It was from hitting Larry Brown too hard.
After waiting for about ten minutes, there was a noise at the door of the locker room.
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, Larry Brown, an old man, dared to come to his door? What a rebellion!
An angry Lin Yu rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the door of the locker room. He didn't see Larry Brown, but he saw Iverson.
"Huh? Where's Larry Brown?"
"This damn old thing, where are the others?"
Seeing Lin Yu's reckless appearance, Iverson couldn't help but smile, "Coach Lin, Larry has been beaten by you until he has no face to see anyone."
"Has no face to see anyone? It would be best for him to disappear from this league forever. I want to vomit when I see his face!"
The last time Lin Yu was punched in the eye by someone on the court, he was half-conscious. It was his own fault, and it wasn't a sneak attack, it was a head-on punch.
But this time it was different. Lin Yu was attacked by surprise, so of course he was angry.
The key is that Lin Yu feels that he has helped Larry Brown out of trouble. It is better to let him curse a few words than to be beaten by Iverson, right? It’s okay if Larry Brown is not grateful, but he actually conducts a sneak attack.
"Coach Lin, did you beat Larry because of me?" Iverson asked with a smile.
Lin Yu looked stunned when asked, "No, it's really not."
"Well, whether it is or not, I have to thank you, Coach Lin, for keeping me from doing something stupid."
"You are a coach destined to be great. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. I am definitely no worse than Kobe or Tracy!"
After Iverson said that, he turned around and left.
Lin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the current lineup of the Washington Wizards, it seems that Iverson really doesn't have a place. It doesn't mean that he can cooperate if he wants to.
…
After the game, Weber led everyone back to the locker room.
"How was it? How many points did you win? Is it sixty? Seventy?" Lin Yu asked quickly.
Weber smiled and shook his head, "No, we won by 45 points."
"Huh? Why so few? We already won by 37 points in the first half, and Iverson left the game. You won by eight points in the second half?" Lin Yu frowned, the points won were too few.
"Bernie said that since you are not on the court, there is no point in making a bigger point difference. The next time you are on the court, break the historical single-game point difference record."
"Anyway, with our strength, it will be a matter of time before we break this record."
Weber explained with a smile.
Lin Yu took a look at Old Bernie and found that Old Bernie was really good. If the record for the largest point difference in history was broken tonight, then it would be Old Bernie who holds this record.
"Why bother? Aren't the records broken by everyone the same?" Lin Yu muttered.
"Boss, the All-Star Game is coming soon. Your suspension will not affect your qualifications to lead the All-Star team, right?" Kobe asked with a worried look.
He definitely wants Lin Yu to lead the All-Star team, so that he can have more shooting rights. Lin Yu is his head coach, and he definitely can't turn his elbow outward to take care of Jordan.
"No, the All-Star Game is an entertainment game and does not count into the main game at all. The suspended games we usually talk about are all the main game, and the preseason games do not count."
"If these entertainment games and preseason games are counted, then the team training games can also be counted, and there is no such thing as a suspension."
Old Bernie explained from the sidelines.
Lin Yu also looked overjoyed. As long as it does not affect his qualifications to lead the All-Star team, he really wants to participate in this All-Star game.
Although Mourning from the Heat did not participate in the All-Star Game because he was injured, Tim Hardaway did participate. If Lin Yu didn't give Pat Riley a look, the All-Star coach would still be there. What fun.
…
After returning to the hotel, Lin Yu's cell phone rang.
"Lin, I just heard Xiao Hua report that you beat Larry Brown on the sidelines?"
Stern's voice came over the phone. He was about to fall asleep. After hearing Xiao Hua's report, he was dubious and quickly called Lin Yu to confirm.
In Stern's view, Lin Yu's usual behavior is indeed a bit arrogant, but he should not do such outrageous things.
If the players on both sides were fighting on the field and they were anxious, then he would understand if the coaches on both sides took action. However, the players had no conflict at all, but the two coaches started fighting. This was outrageous.
"Mr. Stern, there must be video of the situation at that time. You can check the video. It was definitely Larry Brown's hand."
"I just feel dizzy now. He punched me in the back of the head and almost sent me to see God. The team doctor just now said that I might have a severe concussion and was severely stimulated. I was completely out of control!"
Lin Yu said emotionally.
"Lin, don't get excited yet. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
"Are you sure it was damn Larry Brown who made the first move? As long as he made the first move, everything would be easy."
Stern's phone call was not to call for prosecution at all. It sounded more like he was here to stand up for Lin Yu.
In Stern's view, Lin Yu helped him a lot and started the first live broadcast on China TV. In the previous Christmas game, in order to increase the viewing angle of the game, he gave Stern face while having the advantage. Start playing tacit ball.
After hearing that Lin Yu was fighting with Larry Brown, he was most worried about whether Lin Yu would be okay, for fear that Lin Yu would be seriously injured, which would affect his cooperation with China TV Station.
Stern didn't understand Lin Yu's background at all, he only knew that Lin Yu had extraordinary methods...
"There is no need to impose too heavy a penalty. Just ban him for one or two years and then fine him US$1.8 million."
"I'm not a vindictive person at all. I still hope to be friends with Larry Brown."
When Lin Yu heard Stern's tone, he felt confident.
Stern was speechless, why don't you still hold grudges? Fortunately, the NBA does not have the right to carry out executions, otherwise Lin Yu might have to send his good friend Larry Brown to the gallows.
…
The next morning, the league punished the extremely rare coach fight last night.
Larry Brown insulted the players, insulted the players' character, insulted and beat the opponent's head coach, disrupted the order of the game, and was punished for several crimes. He was suspended for 32 games and fined US$187,000!
Lin Yu was suspended for one game!
That's right, Lin Yu's suspension is only one game, and there is no fine!
The official reason for the suspension was that even if Lin Yu was acting in self-defense, he still took action after all, so he still had to be suspended. Depending on what the official meant, if Lin Yu hadn't been too cruel, he might not have been suspended.
The league was in an uproar for a while. This punishment was so outrageous. They now really doubted whether Lin Yu was Stern's illegitimate son.
It was obvious from the scene that Larry Brown suffered a big loss. Even if Lin Yu and Larry Brown were punished with the same severity, it would still make sense. After all, none of the crimes listed by the league for Larry Brown were that he was wronged.
However, now Lin Yu has been suspended for one game, Larry Brown has been suspended for almost half a season, and there is also a fine of 200,000 US dollars. No coach in NBA history has ever been punished like this.
Logically speaking, Lin Yu was only defensively counterattacking, and he did not initiate the incident. It is definitely normal for him to be suspended for a short period of time. However, Larry Brown certainly cannot accept this kind of punishment.
A press conference was held that day, questioning why the league was so biased in favor of Lin Yu, and even showed off his own pig's head in an attempt to win public sympathy.
However, the league officials ignored him at all, as if the matter had completely passed.
Larry Brown still did not believe in evil and went directly to the coaches union and asked for arbitration. He simply could not bear such a huge loss.
"What? Did he go to the coaches union? Did he really get fooled by me?"
Lin Yu sat in Unseld's office and said with a big smile.
Unseld also laughed, "Then what else can be done? Even if he knows that the coaches union has no effect, he has to do something. He can't just accept the punishment."
"So what can the coaches union do? Even if the coaches union thinks the penalty is outrageous, what can they do? Call all coaches to go on strike?" The more Lin Yu thought about it, the funnier he became. Larry Brown was already powerless to this extent.
Facing Stern, who covered the sky with only one hand, he seemed to have no way to resist.
"Now it is said outside that you are Stern's illegitimate son. Is this true or false?" Unseld also had a gossipy heart and asked in a low voice.
"Do you think it's possible? You believe this kind of nonsense." Lin Yu said angrily.
Unseld sighed, "Anyway, it's a good thing that you and Stern can establish a friendship."
"I won't have to worry about anyone harming you in the future. It seems like I can't help you at all now."
Lin Yu looked stern, frowned and asked, "Old man, don't you want to retire?"
"Retire? Are you kidding me? Only a fool would retire if I get 2.5 million US dollars a year!"
…
The players all went to New York to play away games, and Lin Yu returned to Washington, taking advantage of the suspension period to buy himself a house.
Lin Yu currently has 3.7 million US dollars on hand. Such a sum of money can already buy a top-notch mansion in Washington.
Lin Yu is not worried about spending all the money in his hand. After all, his charm value is already 34 points and he can get rewards at any time.
In the end, Lin Yu chose a manor villa, less than 300 meters away from the old Bolin's house, and it was only half an hour's drive to the training ground.
At least for the next few years, this will be Lin Yu's home.
