"Beep~"
At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers lost to the Golden State Warriors by four points 114:1148 on the road.
However, the moment the whistle ended, the players on both sides of the field did not care too much about winning or losing, but quickly returned to the locker room.
As for the conflict just now, the referee chose to hit 50 points each, and each awarded Wang Zelin and Bogte a second-level foul. The former overreacted and the latter was the provocateur, so naturally he was immediately expelled from the field.
Such a penalty naturally won unanimous opposition from both teams. Unfortunately, the referee's penalty has been determined and cannot be changed. The only option is to appeal to the league for a second review after the game.
After the two sides lost a main center, from a team structure perspective, Wang Zelin's comprehensive strength and tactical status are stronger than BoG's. In addition, the Trail Blazers are missing another general Aldridge. This penalty, the Warriors The team is considered to be the more advantageous party.
However, the combat effectiveness of the remaining players of the Trail Blazers still exceeded everyone's imagination. At the end of the first three quarters, they were still two points ahead of the Warriors. It was not until halfway through the fourth quarter that Klay Thompson suddenly shot away and scored a three-pointer from both corners. Split the ball and scored 6 points in two rounds, helping the Warriors complete the lead.
The situation was reversed instantly!
Looking back at the Trail Blazers, after Lillard and Batum fought each other, the Trail Blazers were in decline and there was no way to recover.
Finally, on the night of the 2nd, the Trail Blazers ended their previous two-game winning streak against the Golden State Warriors, and their record became 39 wins and 7 losses.
After the game, Wang Zelin did not attend the post-game press conference, but returned to the hotel immediately after being ejected.
In fact, as far as the game itself is concerned, the coaching staff headed by Terry Stotts is more worried about whether the league will ban Wang Zelin from the game.
Because Wang Zelin had already received his first level one flagrant foul in a single season before, and now he has received the league's first level two flagrant foul.
According to the league's scoring system for flagrant fouls, first-level fouls are worth 1 point, and second-level fouls are worth 2 points. If a player who has not accumulated points before or has accumulated 1 point is sentenced to a second-level flagrant foul, the league will review it and decide whether to be suspended.
Now, Wang Zelin's situation has met the last rule.
The moment Wang Zelin's penalty result came out, Terry Stotts had promptly notified Nell Orsi in Portland, asking the team's public relations department to inform the media of the ins and outs of the penalty, and then forward it to the public. .
Now he only hopes that Wang Zelin will never be suspended.
…
the next day.
Portland.
Team headquarters.
In the office of the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Wang Zelin looked nervous and restless. He had already refilled 5 cups of Liangbaikai in his hand.
"Hey, Wang, you've been waiting for a long time!" At this time, the door was pushed open, and General Manager Nel Orsi walked in from the outside with a smile.
"What's the matter, Mr. Orsi, have you banned me immediately?"
Seeing the visitor, Wang Zelin stood up anxiously.
"Haha, Wang, fortunately our public relations work was timely. The league's top management held a meeting last night and finally decided not to suspend you!" Coach Terry, who came in from behind, said excitedly.
After saying a few more words, he came to Wang Zelin, patted the latter's shoulder and asked: "Young man, you are not suspended, why are you still frowning?"
"Terry, maybe Wang is just worried about possible league fines."
Nel Orsi sat on the chair, crossing his legs and smiling.
"That's my hard-earned money!"
After hearing that he was not suspended, Wang Zelin was just happy, thinking about the tens of thousands of dollars in fines that would follow, and suddenly he was worried again.
"Well," Terry Stotts put his hand on his forehead and looked at Wang Zelin helplessly, "If I remember correctly, your kid is worth at least 8 figures. Are you so stingy?"
"It's different, okay? This obviously happened unnecessarily. It's all because of the dog biting me first. Otherwise, how could this happen..."
Hearing someone still mumbling, Nel Orsi could only say helplessly: "Okay, don't you just want the team to pay the fine for you? I asked Mr. Paul Allen before, and he The reply was no problem!”
"That would be great!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zelin immediately jumped up excitedly, his face radiant, and he held Sima's face in front of him.
"You……"
Seeing Wang Zelin's face change instantly, Terry Stotts and Nell Orsi suddenly shouted.
…
outside world.
The headlines of major media outlets were not the Golden State Warriors' upset victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, nor was it Stephen Curry's 30+8+6 triple-double. The headlines were overwhelming, all about the brawl between Wang Zelin and BoG.
Of course, in the eyes of most fans, this incident cannot be said to be a fight, but more of a one-sided beating.
This BoG is really inferior!
At the same time, it also triggered heated discussions among many players and authoritative media about the league's penalties.
"The Alliance indulges again and the super villain is born!"
"ESPN" expert Bill Simmons wrote a special article overnight, and the title of the article alone is extremely eye-catching.
"A guy who overturned our traditional impression of Chinese players, a Chinese man, once again knocked out his opponent with one punch in an NBA game. This not only reminds us of the 'hot-blooded' basketball of the last century, I would like to call it 21 The best super villain of the century..."
In the article, he listed all the famous martial arts scenes of Wang Zelin since he landed in the NBA. He seemed to be praising Wang Zelin's amazing fighting ability, but in fact he was completely disparaging him.
"BoGt, he's just a notorious villain! The difference is that this time he met a ruthless person!"
Well-known basketball commentator Stephen A. Smith responded in an interview.
In addition, there is no shortage of some team management to explain their views on this incident to the outside world.
But no matter what, from the mouths of most experts, fans seem to have heard the birth of a "new generation of villains"!
…
After a day of rest.
On February 4th, Wang Zelin flew to Memphis with the team. They will challenge the Grizzlies away from home tonight.
At noon, Wang Zelin had just arrived at the visiting team's training ground and was blocked by a group of reporters at the door.
"Wang, can you tell me how you feel about being rated as a new generation of villains by the outside world?"
"Wang, we watched the replay and it was evaluated by professionals. The punch you threw at BoGt was close to Tyson's punch. Was it a retaliatory strike?"
"..."
As soon as they came up, the reporter asked Wang Zelin a lot of questions.
Wang Zelin wanted to answer properly at first, but he could hear that the questions were getting more and more weird, and he couldn't help but feel irritable. He gave everyone a look and left the scene directly.
"Hey, wait..."
All the reporters looked at Wang Zelin dumbfounded, not expecting the latter to be so disrespectful.
It didn't take long for them to think of various reasons for the arrangement in their hearts.
