After a night's rest, Schwartz came to the hospital early the next morning to help him go through the discharge procedures.
After leaving the hospital, the two first came to Memorial Stadium.
After receiving the penalty decision, the Clippers appealed according to the process and held a press conference today.
NBA officials classified it as a post-game brawl. Clippers general manager Wally Walker spent a few seconds at the press conference apologizing for the negative impact of Li Ao's fight with his opponent, and then spent 10 minutes following the official rebuke. Flagrant foul by Kurt Thomas.
Finally, Wally Walker announced Li Ao's injuries. Concussion, ankle and wrist sprains, and elbow injuries were not serious, but they were all mentioned.
Li Ao did not attend the press conference. He came here to accept an exclusive interview with Yahoo Sports.
These days, the usage of Yahoo in the United States is approximately equal to that of Baidu in China at its peak. Its current market value exceeds US$120 billion, making it the number one Internet company in the world.
Yahoo Sports, its subsidiary, is currently the most trafficked online media on the Internet.
The Clippers accepted this interview and took it seriously.
The interview went smoothly. The reporter's questions this time were not biased. They asked some routine questions normally, and Li Ao also answered them seriously.
After the interview, Li Ao had nothing to do. His teammates left Los Angeles for Toronto yesterday.
What a coincidence. In the next 7 games, the Clippers will play 6 away games and 1 home game, followed by a wave of 6 consecutive away games.
The opponents are the Raptors, Celtics, Knicks, Wizards, Hornets, and Timberwolves, and then return to home to play the Lakers.
Li Ao was not particularly sorry that he couldn't play the Knicks away from home. Several of his opponents' players were also suspended or hospitalized, but it still hurt that he couldn't play against Carter, Pierce, Garnett and others.
If you have nothing to do, then train!
Li Ao came to the locker room to change into training clothes, opened the closet, and was stunned.
There’s a bunch of stuff in there! All names are posted!
There are game consoles, sunglasses, baseball bats...and boxing gloves? Knuckles……
What the hell is a mace?
In the minds of his teammates, he is the image of carrying a mace?
Li Ao learned from Schwartz that his teammates were very moved.
The live TV broadcast and the news behind it were all released. He watched his teammates walk away before going to have a fight with Kurt Thomas.
The management also had a headache when he fought, but they also praised him for fighting to avoid his teammates and not letting them get involved.
In fact, this matter was nothing special to him personally. Why did he drag his teammates to be buried with him for his grudges?
If a teammate is bullied, he will stand up for it. That is his choice.
It was also his choice not to drag his teammates into trouble.
It has nothing to do with anything else.
But he was also touched by the positive emotional feedback from his teammates.
However, he wanted to know who gave this mace!
…
Li Ao practiced fadeaway jumpers for a day, and the need for strong shots in games was greater than expected when he entered the NBA.
Take advantage of the time you have now since being suspended to practice more.
I don’t know how Afro’s crotch strain is recovering from. It mainly depends on Mrs. Wa’s side. Afro’s physical fitness is good, so normally he recovers very quickly.
He wanted to go to Kobe to gain more experience and try to practice his fadeaway jumper to a passing level as soon as possible.
The fadeaway jump shot is a good way to reduce interference in confrontation. If used well, the opponent will not be able to touch the opponent from the waist up when shooting. Even if the take-off is affected during the confrontation, the force can be guaranteed to a large extent.
If the opponent presses up to interfere with the shot and touches the leg, it is a foul.
It's a pity that before 2004, kicking the ball to shoot would be called an offensive foul. Otherwise, you can try to develop the skills of the Silver Horn King first.
Now, let's practice Nash's back lay.
In the evening, after training, Li Ao found a middle-aged handsome man and gave him a ride home.
After the opening game, the next game of the Pac10 League will not be until after Thanksgiving. Henry Bibby has nothing to do in the past two days.
Henry Bibby looked reluctant but deftly helped Li Ao carry a large cardboard box of gifts into the car.
Different from Li Ao's self-perception, Henry Bibby saw Li Ao's teammates giving him a mace and felt that it was a very appropriate gift.
Carrying the gifts and coming upstairs, Li Ao saw the house assistant's house lights were on. He walked over and opened the door. She was really there!
Seeing that Li Ao was back, Vivian immediately went up to help carry things into the house.
"Why did you buy these things? Didn't you just buy this game console? This stick... is for self-defense?"
"It was a gift from my teammates. I heard that they originally wanted to send it to the hospital, but the team didn't allow it, so they left it in my locker room. Is there anything you want?"
"Let's take a look, I like these sunglasses..."
Vivian picked two items at random and exchanged gifts. It is normal in the United States. You may not know which holiday the gift you received was the gift you gave before.
Li Ao washed his hands before entering and asked, "Aunt Vivian, didn't you take a long vacation and go back to San Francisco for Thanksgiving?"
"This is my home! Are you driving me away? Which 18-year-old girl do you want to sleep with?"
Li Ao: (_)
"Hoo ho ho, I won't go back this year. How about spending Christmas Eve with you? Are you touched?"
Li Ao nodded quickly. Even if it was Thanksgiving, it was still a holiday. It was still quite lonely and cold to spend it alone.
Vivian put the things back in the box and pushed them aside, thinking of one thing: "By the way, Mary called me after she knew you were injured and said that the consulate would contact her and your father to apply for visas for them next New Year's Eve. They will come together on the festival.”
“The people at the US Consulate are such dogs…”
After complaining for a while, Li Ao was still very happy, thinking about buying some sets of expensive clothes for his parents and some gifts to take back.
He sent a lot of money back, but based on his understanding of the two elders, they would never use it on themselves.
But he has made money, and he has to let his relatives and friends in his hometown know about it, otherwise it will not be in vain.
…
After dinner, Li Ao read newspapers, watched TV, and went online to learn about the subsequent impact of the fight.
He had heard bits and pieces of what Liam and Schwartz said before, but he still didn't understand much.
He saw that public opinion was not one-sided, with some speaking for him and some criticizing him.
But generally speaking, most people speak for him.
And most of those who criticized him also criticized the Knicks or especially Kurt Thomas.
The criminals fought and lost, and even lost seven against one. The 'Gangs of New York' was laughed at miserably this time.
Those who ridiculed the Knicks the most were undoubtedly the New York media.
They even gave Li AoP a picture of Spider-Man and put it in the news with the text - Execution of Justice.
What Li Ao finds most interesting is that American cable TV sports are criticizing the Knicks.
Although the American cable TV system spent US$1.1 billion to buy the Knicks from Western Mining Company in 1994, and then sold all the shares of the team to James Dolan personally for US$30 million in 1997, from the legal perspective Technically speaking, the American cable TV system has nothing to do with the Knicks, and neither bankruptcy nor liquidation will affect each other.
But both companies are owned by James Dolan, and almost every Knicks game is broadcast on American cable television systems.
This is left foot stepping on the right foot.
But there is one person who is more mocked than Kurt Thomas - Madman.
He was so tough when he choked the head coach. When he met a real ruthless person, he was so scared that he didn't dare to move for a long time.
After understanding the public opinion situation in the past two days, Li Ao felt strange.
In this fight, he actually created a positive image!
In fact, he just simply wants revenge...
…
The next day, November 19, two days had passed since the fight, and the news was just about to cool down when it was brought up again.
James Dolan is causing trouble again!
The NBA's official punishment characterized the incident as a "court brawl." The Ministry of Justice recognized the incident, and Li Ao avoided the trouble of being publicly investigated by the New York or Los Angeles Justice Department.
But James Dolan submitted a civil lawsuit to a New York court against Li Ao and the NBA.
When Li Ao and Liam made an appointment to play games in the afternoon, he asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with Dolan's brain? He has been laughed at so miserably and you still don't think it's enough?"
Liam shook his index finger and said: "NONONONONO, he is not stupid. I heard that the Knicks home ticket prices have increased again, and the ratings of the sports channels of the American cable TV system have also increased. The more people laugh at them, the more people laugh at them." With more people going to their games and watching their news, he can make more money.”
Li Ao said something ridiculous and asked: "Are all capitalists so shameless?"
Liam: "I feel like you're scolding me..."
James Dolan sued Li Ao in the name of the Knicks for the sake of popularity.
The impact this had on Li Ao...he also maintained his popularity.
Soon, USC Chancellor Peter was authorized by the Board of Regents to publicly express his position on behalf of USC. USC would represent Li Ao in the lawsuit against the Knicks.
Li Ao doesn't need to worry about this.
And according to the Yingjiang Family Minors Regulations and sports laws, if it really comes to the stage of going to court, Li Ao can even choose not to attend.
In this regard, Li Ao complained about another hot topic, which was the university he was studying in.
Very sorry!
The longer time goes on, the more interested parties are involved, and the matter of Li Ao's fight becomes more and more controversial.
His evaluation of 'revenge after the fact' began to tilt in a bad direction.
He kicked Jeff Van Gundy and was also taken out and criticized.
The Knicks also used this to make a fuss, saying that he beat their head coach.
But after the video of Li Ao's interview with Yahoo Sports was played on the TV station, the sympathy that the Knicks and Jeff Van Gundy had just received was torn to pieces...
"I'm a big-hearted person, but I will never forgive anyone who disrespects others and disrespects sportsmanship.
If he fouls me like that, as long as he apologizes to me, I won't hit him.
But has he apologized?
I've been back on the court for so long, and he didn't even apologize. He looked at me with a proud look, as if he had done something great. Oh, I understand. A small role like him can rely on a malicious foul on me. Being on the news is indeed the greatest and most proud thing he can do in his life.
His teammates are not good either. I waited until the end of the game before taking action, which gave them enough respect on the court. But I wanted to teach a violent person on the court a lesson, and they wanted to beat me up. I had no choice but to justifiable defense. "
"Is Van Gundy protecting his players? I don't think he is just helping his players fight. Just imagine if a Knicks player came to hit me and my feet were held by him and I couldn't avoid it, what would I do?
His behavior doesn't earn me any respect, it just makes me feel sick.
If I'm held by him and I'm beaten, he's just an accomplice.
He is now just trying to help his team beat me in a failed attempt. "
…
Li Ao gave clear, logical and well-founded answers during the interview, putting all the pressure on the Knicks and Jeff Van Gundy.
Even though Dolan is thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it this time.
On the afternoon of November 21, the day the Clippers came to New York, the Knicks fired Jeff Van Gundy for improper internal management and withdrew the complaint. 'The incident comes to an end.
But the Knicks have had enough of this wave of heat. If they continue to struggle, it will really become a soap opera.
As for Li Ao, he had already put this matter aside and took no time to train.
He called Kobe for two days and finally got Kobe out this afternoon to train together.
Kobe Bryant suffered a strained crotch ligament and has almost recovered, but Jackson was overly cautious and allowed him to rest until after Thanksgiving before returning.
The first time he received a call from Li Ao, he refused, and the second time he also refused, but it was only a matter of time. He was worried that Li Ao would not call him if he refused again, so he replied "See you at 4 o'clock" when he received the call.
With Li Ao, a partner with exaggerated static physical condition, online dynamic physical condition, solid defensive basic skills, defensive attitude and talent, Kobe couldn't bear to lose him after practicing a few more times.
Is there any better partner to practice singles skills than this?
Li Ao regarded Kobe as an "experience baby" and at the same time practiced one-on-one defense in mid-to-long distances.
Both of them get what they need.
After two days of practice, Li Ao gained 4 points of experience in fadeaway jumpers and 1 point of experience in pull-up jumpers.
On the 23rd, Kobe had to accompany Vanessa today and did not come to practice. Li Ao practiced fadeaway jumpers and pull-up jumpers for a day by himself, quickly digesting these experiences.
The fade-back has not yet been improved to pass level, the basic skills of emergency stop have been improved to 74, and the ability to catch the ball and stop jump shot has also been improved to 73.
Li Ao finished training at 4 p.m. and returned to the apartment early to prepare dinner.
Preparing meals together with the hospital assistant's aunt, although the other party only handed over things, still made Li Ao feel that this was his happiest meal preparation time.
It feels much better than when Liam and Joshua, two people who really know how to do things, help.
Li Ao was happy to make the meal, and he was also very happy to see that the hospital assistant's aunt was enjoying the meal. She only had two bites of the turkey that was placed on the dining table...it was a bit of a waste of food, but neither of them could eat it.
After dinner, Li Ao played games on the big TV at his aunt's house, and it was late at night before he knew it.
Seeing that the hospital assistant's aunt had come out of the shower, Li Ao turned off the game console and TV, said hello, and prepared to go back to his small suite to wash up and go to bed...but was stopped.
After drinking some wine and taking a shower, Vivian's face was flushed. She was mostly wrapped in a bath towel but she still looked tall... Li Ao's heartbeat quickened.
Vivian pushed Li Ao back to sit down on the sofa and said, "Leo, you didn't even give me a gift on Thanksgiving today!"
"Uh..." Li Ao looked away and said, "I forgot, what gift do you want, I'll buy it! Don't worry, I have money now!"
"My family has always said that I don't have any children before I get married. I want a child!"
"I want to have a baby. I'm thinking about where to buy one..."
Li Ao's mind was in confusion. He replied subconsciously and suddenly realized: "What? Want a child?"
At this time, Vivian's bath towel fell down...
"hiss……"
Li Ao took a breath of cold air.
Auntie is pink!
Thirty thousand words are omitted here.
Early the next morning, Li Ao woke up and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. After all, he rolled the sheets on this bed.
Looking at the hospital assistant's aunt with drool at the corner of her mouth, he couldn't help but lift the quilt.
Wow, it’s still so pink and tender.
He stretched out his hand... and was grabbed by Vivian, and then hugged... He couldn't bear it anymore!
Soon, Vivian's sweet cry sounded: "I'm still sleeping, what are you doing... wait... uh uh... faster, faster..."
Another thirty thousand words are omitted here.
In the evening, Li Ao returned to his apartment after training.
While eating dinner, he used the body's physical therapy function to regain his strength.
After clearing the dining table, Li Ao asked the hospital assistant: "Has the child been delivered to his place?"
Vivian blushed, but put on a serious face: "I don't think it's that easy. You can't rush this kind of thing. Take your time."
"I also think that we need to study this matter slowly... Then Vivian, you are my girlfriend now, right?"
"Call Auntie. I'm not your girlfriend. I just want your child. I don't like others, but I like you, Leo, so I choose you."
Li Ao: (⊙_⊙)?
Vivian loosened her belt and said, "I am 31 years old, you are only 19 years old, I am your girlfriend, why should I be shameless?"
Li Ao: (O_o)??
Is it much better not to have a girlfriend and have a child?
What kind of eagle sauce logic is this?
Just when Li Ao had a question mark on his head, Vivian sat on his lap again and said, "Let's continue to create life! I plan to have three children. I'm 31 years old. I can't do it without seizing the time."
Li Ao shifted his attention, but caught a strange point and asked: "Why three?"
"I want both my son and my daughter, but a daughter may not be able to defeat my son in a fight, so I plan to have two daughters..."
"Uh... Auntie, please wait. It's not advisable to exercise right after a meal!"
"Then let's take a shower first..."
…
…
In a flash, the time came to the end of November.
Li Ao trained for a few more days, and his relationship with the hospital assistant's aunt was still the same, but when no one was around, the two of them would 'create life' together.
At first, he thought it was just the aunt, the hospital assistant, who was embarrassed because of the age difference. But one day, the aunt, the hospital assistant, who couldn't bear it after working for several days in a row, invited Jessica to the apartment for dinner, and handed him some saliva after the meal. pocket……
Regarding the operation of the hospital assistant who only fired and was not responsible, Li Ao felt a pain in the balls at first, but later... he felt that it was quite good. They had been living together anyway and were not afraid of people running away.
On the evening of the 30th, Li Ao watched the live broadcast of their game against the Lakers at home on a local TV station.
Lost 83 to 96.
7 games, 2 wins and 5 losses, the record changed from 6 wins and 3 losses to 8 wins and 8 losses, it was terrible!
They lost against the Raptors, Celtics, Hornets, and Timberwolves, and only won against the Knicks, whose main players were suspended, and the Wizards, who were second to last in the Eastern Conference.
This record was not beyond Li Ao's expectations.
The most important tactics of the team are built around him.
Although he also has tactics during the off-field break, once the opponent's defensive intensity increases, it is easy to fall into chaos.
No, tonight's game against the Lakers only scored 55 points in three quarters.
However, in the miserable defeat, he saw the bright spot!
Their defense is tight! In 7 games, only once did the opponent score more than 100 points, and only 3 times did the opponent score more than 95 points!
