Chapter 151 The Last Knife to Dismember the Piston
That morning.
There was a lot of commotion outside, and when the Hornets players arrived at the Charlotte rotation base camp, everyone got the breaking news that happened in the morning. At the same time, they also stared at Li Shengli, with quite complicated emotions in their eyes. .
In terms of personal strength, Li Shengli is now the Hornets' ace center.
In terms of personal combat effectiveness, Li Shengli defeated one of the pistons and injured three others, while Laimbeer was directly scrapped.
As a rookie, his current achievements are already amazing, but who would have thought... After being hacked into Xiang on his front foot, a group of big guys appeared on his back foot to give him support, and he reversed the polarity again and completed the Jedi. Counterattack.
Retired bosses have come to help one after another, too many to count.
Current heavyweight players also came off the court to help tear apart their opponents.
Who knows what happened in the middle, and why there is such a terrifyingly huge network of relationships behind a rookie.
…
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Li Shengli is just a fuse at most, and the escort team gathered by Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is just an accelerant. The reason why it caused such a big sensation is that the real explosive base is the historical legacy of the Pistons.
Back then, the Pistons, who had won two consecutive championships in their heyday, were swept by the Bad Boy Legion. The entire league was filled with complaints and suffered persecution from them. At that time, many people stood up to criticize them, but there was no way... The winner was the king and the loser was the bad guy. No matter how unhappy it is, it can't affect the fact that the Pistons won two consecutive championships.
However, in recent seasons, the Pistons have been beaten by the Bulls led by Jordan, and their record has gone from bad to worse. And Laimbeer, the leader, actually uses endless villains to disgust his opponents. If he really encounters a tough situation, he will fight. He was more cowardly than anyone else, but he didn't have the gold medal fighter Rick Mahon next to him. He was chased by a few Barkley and a few heavyweight players and beat him obediently.
Conflicts are not afraid of breaking out, but they are afraid of accumulating. Like an inflated balloon, one day it will explode.
The unyielding Laimbeer defeated Gill on the Hornets' side and ushered in the Hornets' revenge. Li Shengli paralyzed Laimbeer the first time, and immediately crippled him the second time. The other main players on the Pistons' side were also injured. , executing the final blow to dismember the Bad Boy Legion.
As a result, the piston expanded and exploded, and the conflict broke out at this moment. Everyone rushed to make cuts, and Li Shengli, who was at the center of the whirlpool, was naturally carried to the front of the stage...
…
"Li, how could this happen? You...what on earth did you do?" On the way back to the Hornets' base camp, Boggs found it difficult to accept the existence of a super connected person like Li Shengli.
"To be honest, I have never seen the league be as lively as this morning. This is too scary. So many people came together to support you. Oh my god, is the world crazy?" Curry was also amazed.
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Li Shengli was also confused.
From beginning to end, what he did was too simple. He had a fight on the court, slept in the locker room, then went back to the hotel to continue sleeping, and boarded the plane back to Charlotte early this morning. What happened in between? I was also confused.
Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar brought old Barry. These three uncles can support him. He can understand it. After all, the relationship lies here, but... he really doesn’t know any of the big guys who appear later. They belong to the audience. You know who it is by name, but your face is completely confused when you look at it.
As for the current heavyweight players, although they have played against most of them, they are not familiar enough to support themselves. Even fellow rookies such as Mourning and O'Neal are involved.
"Has the official punishment been imposed?" Li Shengli asked, shaking his head and not thinking about it.
"Not yet, but don't think about it. You will definitely be punished. Now it depends on how it will be punished! Fighting can be big or small. Counting you, there are only four people who really do it this time, but Ranbir was directly fucked by you. If it's scrapped, you have to blame it on you, so... I think the official punishment for you will be heavier than usual." Curry explained.
"Nonsense! Although Li crippled the Pistons, in the end it was the Pistons who moved first. In addition, the movement was so big this time and there were so many Li bosses on the platform. This is the voice of the masses. Can the official Taking this into consideration? I think the penalty is yes, but it will be lighter!" Boggs expressed his objection.
"Maybe, anyway, the punishment this time will definitely be polarized, either very severe or very light. But fortunately... the principle of punishment has always been to give priority to fines and supplementary suspensions."
Mainly fines, supplemented by suspensions?
Although Li Shengli knew he would face a fine, when he actually heard these two words, his face turned green, and the thought of someone trying to steal money from his pocket felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Damn, how much will I be punished?"
"Who knows, it can be as little as a few thousand dollars, but the key point is over ten thousand dollars. This small amount of money is nothing to you, right? Moreover, what you should be worried about is the suspension. You must know that this is not an injury suspension. , but a punitive suspension. During the suspension period, you will not be paid, and this loss is much greater than the fine."
Curry smiled and sold the batch in victory.
Thinking of the financial losses caused by fines and suspensions, Li Shengli felt like he was going crazy. His heart was so heartbroken that it was impossible to describe his current embarrassing situation. What made him most unbearable was his wallet being robbed.
Money!
This is all money!
At the end of the wave, according to Curry, he would lose 100,000 US dollars no matter what he did. For a moment, he hated the shameless exploitation of the American emperor, and even thought...it would be good if he could be fined and banned less!
…
By noon, the official notice of punishment came out. Just like Curry's polarizing speculation, this time the punishment was unusually severe. David Stern personally administered the punishment, causing Li Shengli to bleed heavily.
Although the morning news and various parties gathered overwhelmingly to support Li Shengli, this was also the direct reason for the heavy punishment, because the officials did not want the matter to turn into a farce of using violence to counter violence. After all, the foundation of the NBA is competition, not fighting.
Just kidding... If the punishment is light, or not punished at all, the impact can be foreseen. If any team encounters the Pistons in the future, no need to ask, they will definitely be beaten to death. In addition, the impact of this conflict is very rare, which emphasizes the point. Punishment can also be regarded as a warning to others.
Although the NBA often fines major players who fight, and those who engage in soy sauce are suspended, this time it is obviously different and must be rectified.
…
On the piston side...
Mark Aguirre was the first to take action. He was suspended for five games and fined 30,000 yuan. Dennis Rodman was suspended for three games and fined 20,000 yuan. Isiah Thomas was the worst. He failed to hit Li Shengli and was beaten all the time. He was also suspended for two games and fined 10,000 yuan. As for Laimbir... he was already disabled and escaped the disaster, although he would rather be suspended and fined.
As for the Hornets...
Li Shengli wanted to cry because the punishment he received was a top-notch one, one that even a poverty certificate could not get back. He was suspended for five games and fined 35,000 yuan.
Divide his current annual contract salary of 2 million+ by 82 regular season games, then multiply by 5 game suspensions, plus fines, the direct loss is as high as 200,000 US dollars, which made him cry all the tears and was heartbroken. can not breath.
