Li Ao was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until after 4 o'clock.
He slept deeply until he felt a sense of suffocation and woke up.
He pushed the person in front of him away... and quickly held him back.
After gasping for breath, Li Ao shouted: "Aunt Vivian, you want my life!"
Vivian patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Leo, you reacted so violently, it seems you are fine. You were fouled last night and almost fainted. It scared me to death. I'm ready." I drove back, but fortunately I returned to the stadium later."
"You are so tired driving here from San Francisco. But luckily you didn't come to watch the game last night. What if you couldn't help but rush up and bump into me... hiss... it hurts! Why are you poking my bag?" "
"Did you just fall here and faint? Thomas is so abominable! This is how he used this method if he couldn't beat the game!" Vivian was very angry.
"Uh... I fell unconscious because of a concussion. This... well, this was caused by Auntie hitting me with her chin."
"The Knicks are so hateful. The criminal didn't say anything, but he wanted 8 people to beat you together! Fortunately, you protected yourself. The news said that the aunt suffered a broken jaw, she deserves it!
Let me see if there are any other injuries..."
"Yes..." Li Ao immediately showed his wrists and ankles, and Magoji found that the swelling had subsided after sleeping!
Yes! I used the body physiotherapy function last night, and there was no injury, and the normal swelling was repaired.
Li Ao searched for it and found it. He turned the back of his hand to Vivian and said, "Aunt Vivian, look, the skin on my hand is broken again!"
Wei Wei'an was so distressed that she pulled Li Ao's hand into her arms.
Liam on the side couldn't stand it anymore and rolled his eyes to the sky!
Being beaten by 8 people?
Can't say it's wrong.
But 8 people on the opposite side 'surrounded' Li Ao, 7 were carried out, 6 were killed on the spot, 1 was chased and beaten, and 1 was frightened.
He heard that four Knicks players spent the night in the hospital.
Kurt Thomas was the most seriously injured. The bridge of his nose was cracked and collapsed. Li Ao's punch directly in the face knocked Kurt Thomas unconscious. He also suffered a severe concussion. The condition of the nose bridge surgery is still unknown, but just a severe concussion. Even if Kurt Thomas is an athlete, he will have to leave the ward for one to two weeks, otherwise he may have sequelae.
However, after the media exposed the hospital where Knicks players were treated last night, fans in Los Angeles surrounded the hospital before dawn. The Knicks had no choice but to contact hospitals in other cities to transfer the patients.
The aunt looked miserable. She was instantly killed and her jaw was fractured. But other than that, she had a mild concussion. The coma was the body's emergency protection mechanism for injuries to the vestibule and cerebellum.
If Auntie insists on playing a game, after a few days of rest and the concussion symptoms disappear, she can still play by fixing her chin and wearing a protective gear to protect her chin.
Camby looked the worst, but luckily no ribs were broken. His organs were hit hard and he needed to rest for about two weeks.
Houston... Just fill the tooth. It is said that the big tooth was put back last night.
Thinking back to the news he saw this morning, Liam was quite excited.
What a pity!
Leo's one-on-seven action was too fast. When he first came to the United States, he fought hundreds of battles for a year. His actual combat experience and reaction... were all too fast. Liam stood up and wanted to rush to help, but seeing After the aunt was knocked unconscious by a headbutt, she was stunned for a while. When she came to her senses, the other party had already collapsed.
He was just sorry last night, and he really regretted it this morning when he saw how lively things had become.
If he successfully helps in the fight, the worst he can do is be banned from the NBA.
But together with Leo, the two of them can challenge the entire New York gang, and they can boast for a lifetime!
…
Li Ao slept until noon, and doctors and Clippers management paid great attention to it. Schwartz came to the hospital at dawn. After learning that Li Ao had woken up, he rushed to the hospital immediately and accompanied him for a comprehensive examination.
After a detailed inspection to confirm that everything was fine, everyone was finally relieved.
Seeing that the swelling in Li Ao's wrists and ankles had subsided, even the doctor marveled at Li Ao's rare recovery ability.
However, Li Ao still had to stay in the hospital for one more night for observation.
After all, he was knocked unconscious on the spot by the criminal, and the brain injury was a major problem in the medical field. The doctor made careful arrangements for diagnosis and treatment.
Vivian was so worried that she didn't sleep all night. She only slept for a while when she flew over from San Francisco this morning. After confirming that Li Ao was fine, she went back to the apartment to catch up on her sleep.
Liam was fine in the afternoon, but he saw on the news that Dolan threatened to sue the NBA and Li Ao because NBA officials were slow to respond to the fight. He went back to his dad to discuss the matter first. Be prepared to respond to the lawsuit. The legal department is already hungry. Their law firm wants to take advantage of such a hot event.
The team members now have to deal with the follow-up troubles for Li Ao and are extremely busy.
After everyone else left, Schwartz said: "Leo, have a good rest. You don't have to worry about this time. You wait until after the game to take action. You have an absolute advantage in terms of sportsmanship and competitive spirit. Stern probably will." How to deal with headache.
However, although it was a fight after the game, it was still on the court. It had a great impact and there were many people who supported you, but it was also very controversial. If it was handled as a security incident, according to NBA regulations, you would probably be suspended. See Stern How to think about it. "
"Just ban him. I already knew I would be banned when I did it, but if I endured it, I guess he would definitely slap him in the face in the future. I can't stand that anger. If I don't beat him up, I won't understand... ...It’s a pity that the suspended salary, Jeff, part of it is yours, let the company issue a press release to put pressure on Stern.”
"The boss has contacted me last night and has already greeted the media. But you don't have to worry about the salary for a few games. Your fight has actually increased the commercial value. Columbia Pictures will contact me in the morning We want to launch joint clothing with you!"
"Columbia Pictures?" Li Ao asked in confusion: "What kind of joint name can I have with them?"
"Spider-Man! Oh my god, your nickname is Spider-Man! The copyright of Spider-Man belongs to them. They are planning to make a comic book movie. I heard from the boss that they want to invite you to participate."
"What are you playing? You're playing a playboy again, right? I'm a serious person...who is playing the opposite role?"
"What are you thinking about? This is not a low-budget movie. If I invite you, I will definitely let you play Spider-Man."
"Forget it." Li Ao was not interested.
Schwartz asked in surprise: "Why? Don't you like being on TV very much? This is the most popular comic book change. Although we don't know how much money Columbia Pictures is going to invest, and we don't know how good the quality of the comic book movie is, but It’s definitely going to attract a lot of attention.”
"No, I just like to make guest appearances occasionally to enjoy myself. It's best to finish the filming in a few days. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid it will be troublesome, and there are few scenes and it will be easy to act. If there are too many scenes, it will be too embarrassing to perform badly, and I don't have that much time. "
"Too……"
Schwartz was ready to rebuff the company boss.
Under normal circumstances, Schwartz would not tell Li Ao about the endorsement that had not yet been confirmed for the meeting, lest the negotiation would not be finalized and Li Ao's time and expectations would be wasted.
For example, this time the co-branded clothing with Columbia Pictures.
He came to ask this time because Columbia Pictures really found their boss.
After hearing Li Ao's attitude towards making movies, he gave up the idea of letting Li Ao's artistic and artistic talents flourish.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now that Li Ao's career has just started, he really doesn't have that much free time.
…
If Li Ao knew that the film company really wanted him to play that role, he would definitely be tempted, but he would still refuse in the end.
He told Schwartz the truth, that he was happy to make movies, be on shows, and have fun occasionally, but professionally... that wasn't his thing.
All he wants to do now is play well.
In the evening, the NBA official press conference came belatedly.
At the press conference, David Stern first denounced Kurt Thomas for his malicious foul actions during the game, and praised Li Ao for restraining his emotions during the game and not engaging in non-basketball behavior during the game.
Then, he severely criticized the behavior of eight players who brawled after the game.
The word 'retaliation' was not mentioned throughout the reprimand and criticism.
In the end, 7 of the 8 parties were punished.
Kurt Thomas' first-level flagrant foul was eventually determined to be a second-level flagrant foul. He was suspended for 1 game, participated in a fight, and was suspended for 5 games, for a total of 6 games.
Houston, Larry Johnson, Camby, suspended 5 games.
Houston was not innocent when he was beaten and suspended. When he stopped Li Ao, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Ao and said "calm down". Others could not hear what he said. They only saw him rushing towards Li Ao and grabbing Li Ao. .
The other three players who rushed forward were suspended for one game even though they did not take action.
Because David Stern has temporarily promulgated a new rule - if there are conflicts, fights, etc. on the court, players outside the court are not allowed to enter the court, and they are not allowed to step on the sideline. Once the regulations are violated, the referee has the right to He will be ejected immediately and will be suspended for at least 1 game after the game regardless of whether the referee implements on-site penalties.
This rule will be implemented starting from the game between the Clippers and the Knicks.
Li Ao has been suspended for the most games, and has been suspended for 7 games.
The only ones who were not punished were the madmen...
Li Ao, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference in the ward, immediately quit: "Why am I suspended the most? Isn't it a fight? I was beaten by 8 people!"
Schwartz was speechless for a few seconds and said: "This is better than I thought. It is not treated as a 'particularly serious' violent incident. The NBA has no explicit regulations, but the suspension limit is 8 games, reaching an 8-game suspension." , it is a 'particularly serious' incident, and you will be suspended for more than two weeks. If it is 7 games, it may be within two weeks... And I think this is Stern protecting you, lest you get into off-field lawsuits and digest them within the league. .”
Li Ao hummed a few words and accepted the punishment. Apart from the 'injuries' to his head and fists, he had nothing else to do. He just felt sorry for the suspended salary... and wanted to be good after getting an advantage.
