As an aggrieved Robinson was sent off the field, Duncan, whose face was covered in blood, was helped back to the locker room by the Spurs team doctor. Several black nurses came directly from the ambulance and took Sima Popo away.
The outcome of this second battle between the Wizards and the Spurs at the top of the Eastern and Western Conferences is no longer the focus of attention.
Bowen, who had been on tenterhooks for the whole game, never expected that in the end, apart from being bruised and bruised by Artest, he actually managed to escape!
However, after this game, Bowen had a psychological shadow on the Wizards, Artest and others.
As for the Wizards, Hamilton, who had been staying in the locker room to watch the entire game, was already in tears.
If you don’t understand, just ask.
Such an idol and such a teammate, how could you not love him?
In the end, the battle for the top spot in the Eastern and Western Conferences, which started in chaos, ended with the Wizards winning 101-85 on the road.
While leading the team to a 17-game winning streak and continuing to set the record for the best start in NBA history, Wang Shuo and the Wizards he coached also made a name for themselves in this game against the Spurs!
Notice, this beat here.
There is a pun intended.
After the game, at the press conference, "Whether Bowen's action against Hamilton was intentional?" "Michael Jordan's overwhelming anger during the game" and "Artest KOed Duncan, Sima Popo, and Robinson in one round" etc. The famous scene that occurred in the first quarter of tonight's game became the focus of reporters' questions.
In this regard, Wang Shuo also took the lead in seizing the high ground of public opinion after the interview began: "I am definitely the head coach in this league who hates using these malicious actions to deliberately hurt others in the game!
To be honest, to this day, I still can’t forgive Bruce Bowen and the San Antonio Spurs for deliberately elbowing Richard shortly after the start of this game so that he could not continue to play.
In my eyes, the Spurs' behavior tonight is like the 911 that happened not long ago, a shameless sneak attack!
In the NBA, there has never been a winning general! We can win more than we can afford to lose.
But if our opponent intends to use this shameless sneak attack to defeat us, then we will definitely respond with the iron fist of justice! "
At the press conference, Wang Shuo spoke loudly and calmed down all the reporters present!
After about ten seconds of silence, a reporter asked Wang Shuo whether the "iron fist of justice" he meant meant that if the Wizards encountered a malicious sneak attack from others during the game, the Wizards would retaliate in kind.
Hearing this, Wang Shuo smiled slightly and said: "Basketball has a basketball game. We are not a team like the Spurs that likes to deliberately hurt people. We have always won fair and square!"
Reporter: We believe you!
Then, a reporter asked Wang Shuo what he thought of Jordan's tantrums during the game.
In this regard, Wang Shuo said: "I think Michael set a good example for all NBA players tonight.
Because he was not just speaking for Richard, but for all players in the NBA!
Try to think about it, if you were the person elbowed by Bruce Bowen tonight, how much would you wish someone could stand up at that moment and help you get justice?
Michael is never afraid of power, he is willing to fight for everyone's fairness and freedom! He has never just been the leader of the Wizards, he has always been the leader of the NBA! "
Reporters: "..."
Good guy! The moral high ground has been occupied by you, right?
However, I dare to ask you, how should you explain Artest's "one goal harmed three wise men" in the game?
At the press conference, Wang Shuo, who knew what was coming would eventually come back, said after pondering for two seconds: "Ron is a good kid, always has been.
I think everyone who has watched his game knows that he does appear to be 'clumsy' at times.
But compared to Bruce Bowen's shameless sneak attack, Ron is the victim tonight!
Listen to me, I really can't believe that he would be questioned by you just because he wants to be a brave boy!
Take a good look at the game video at that time. Tim Duncan has indeed been stuck in position, but what about Ron? Did this put him off?
And that save!
I really don't understand why the referee interrupted the game at that time!
Oh my God, what a save that was.
I often say that in basketball, giving up early equals failure. But at that moment, I believe that everyone could see the light radiating from Ron Artest.
That light called courage, in my opinion, is the reason why miracles always happen in the NBA, a place where miracles happen! "
Reporters: "..."
Damn it!
What you said makes sense, but we are speechless!
no doubt.
Wang Shuo's performance at this press conference tonight was simply GOAT level!
And since Sima Bobo is receiving treatment in the hospital at the moment, after Wang Shuo exits...
When the Spurs coaching staff who attended the press conference instead of Sima Bobo came up, they were asked by reporters, "What do you think of Wang's malicious violation of Richard Hamilton tonight? It was a sneak attack comparable to 911." "hour......
Sima Bobo’s assistant coaches were dumbfounded and confused!
At this critical moment in December 2001, 911 was definitely the three numbers that most stung the American people.
Therefore, if this question is not answered well, then the Spurs will inevitably become the target of public criticism after tonight.
In Wang Shuo's opinion, if Sima Bobo, an old yin, were to answer, he would definitely avoid this question perfectly.
But no matter what...
His assistants didn't share his bad temper.
After taking a look at his colleagues who were scared to death by this question, Mike Budenholzer, the core member of Sima Bobo's assistant coaching team, wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to reporters: "We are not terrorists... We have not thought about attacking anyone during the game..."
At the scene, looking at these trembling Spurs assistant coaches, many reporters almost immediately took up pens and wrote the words "The Spurs coaching team has a guilty conscience" in their interview notebooks.
no way.
Because the poor performance of the Spurs assistant coaches in the interview was in sharp contrast to Wang Shuo's previous superb performance, this is really not a random fabrication by this group of reporters using their subjective initiative.
The next day, after a night of fermentation, Wang Shuo's words in an interview last night, "We cannot tolerate the Spurs' 911-style sneak attack tonight" were too influential and even attracted the attention of the political circles. In order to calm the situation, David Stern decisively issued the first heavy fine in the NBA in the 01/02 season!
During the game between the Wizards and the Spurs on the 6th, David Robinson, who intentionally pushed Artest and intentionally injured others, was suspended for 10 games and fined US$25,000!
It is said that when he received the super fine from the league afterwards, the 36-year-old David Robinson cried out of grievance on the spot!
Heaven, earth!
I really just gave Ron Artest a little push!
But do you know? After pushing him, Jordan on the left and Jackson on the right immediately pushed me to the ground!
And the most hateful thing is that in order to prevent me from getting up, Michael Jordan put his knee on my neck like a policeman arresting a criminal!
What a pity, if it weren't for my amazing lung capacity, David Robinson, what would happen to him, Floyd, in the future?
Oh, no, who is Freud?
Forget it, that’s not important!
The important thing is, why should I be suspended for 10 games just because I pushed someone?
Is this still the NBA full of martial arts?
cough!
Obviously, because the league is in urgent need of a scapegoat, David Robinson will naturally be punished in the most "fair, open and just" way.
In addition, shortly after the league announced the penalty results, Stern never expected that the wave of assists he had carefully prepared for Jordan would actually come in handy at this juncture.
In the market, many legends who had been greeted by the league in advance publicly expressed their support for Jordan in interviews on this day.
"I think Michael is right! Basketball can be tough, but basketball should not be tainted by those villains!" After retiring, the 'Smiling Assassin' Isiah Thomas, who likes to improve his career status by boasting about Jordan, said in an interview said during the interview.
"Michael is a great leader both on and off the court! I have worked with him for more than ten years. I believe that if he had not been unable to tolerate the opponent's shameless sneak attack, he would not have been so angry during the game." Scottie Pippen, Jordan's former "golden partner" and now only making money on TV shows by bragging about Jordan, said in an interview.
"The league should protect these young people. We are all old, and the future belongs to them!" I was deeply moved by the interesting fact that Artest angrily criticized Robinson during the game as a softie who can never catch up with him. A relieved Olajuwon said in an interview.
"Michael is speaking out for us young players! I think you all saw that he could have chosen to remain silent, but he didn't! That's why we all love him!" In Los Angeles, Boss Joe's little fan Kobe Bryant was also in the audience in the first place. Support Jordan and the Wizards for a moment.
Well, now, even if Sima Bobo can immediately leave the hospital to argue and explain, the Spurs will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
What's more, not only will he not be able to leave the hospital for a while, but he may even miss the next two or three months of NBA games due to several rib fractures?
Washington, when Wang Shuo learned about Sima Bobo's injury, he felt deeply regretful... Oh no, I deeply sympathize!
As for Duncan, whose nose was broken by Artest's palm...
Ouch!
Misunderstand!
This is all a misunderstanding!
After all, how could Artest, a good kid like him, intentionally hurt someone during a game?
It is said that after reading the news reports on the 7th, Sima Bobo vomited several liters of old blood and narrowly avoided vomiting into the ICU.
And what about Wang Shuo?
To be honest, Wang Shuo really admired Stern from the bottom of his heart at this moment.
Because after bringing out a bunch of celebrities and current superstars to support the Wizards, Stern immediately shifted people's attention from the 911 incident to whether the league should introduce new rules to punish those who like to cause malicious injuries on the court. On the topic of human players.
He is worthy of being a well-known gold medal director in NBA history.
When it comes to marketing and publicity, Stern is definitely a GOAT-level presence.
Wang Shuo knew that right now, there was no need for the Wizards to continue to tangle with the notorious Spurs.
And after this battle.
Wang Shuo also believes that those teams that dare to play tricks on the Wizards in the future will have to consider the consequences of doing so in their hearts.
In short, after this day, the Wizards, NBA, Stern, Jordan, Artest, including him Wang Shuo... all have a bright future!
Now, it's time to move on!
Go and write a legendary history that belongs to him, Wang Shuo!
