At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers lost to the Golden State Warriors 114:118 on the road, losing by 4 points.
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 the perspective of team structure, 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 side.
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 in an instant!
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 the 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 awarded 1 point, and second-level fouls are awarded 2 points. Players who have not accumulated points before or have accumulated 1 point will be awarded a second-level flagrant foul.
Based on the league's review, a decision will be made as to whether to suspend the game.
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 could not sit still. 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 Nell Orsi walked in from the outside with a smile.
"What's the matter, Mr. Orsi, have you banned me immediately?"
Seeing the person coming, Wang Zelin stood up with a look of urgency on his face.
"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 haven't been suspended, why are you still frowning?"
"Terry, maybe Wang is just worried about possible league fines."
Nel Orsi sat on the chair, crossed his legs and said with a smile.
"That's my hard-earned money!"
After hearing that he was not suspended from the game, Wang Zelin had just turned into an excellent player. He could think of the tens of thousands of dollars in fines that would follow, but he suddenly turned into a worried person.
"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 sudden change of expression, Terry Stotts and Nell Olsi 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 win and a 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 replied 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 almost close to Tyson's punch. Was it a retaliatory strike?"
"..."
As soon as it came up, the reporter asked Wang Zelin a lot of questions.
Wang Zelin wanted to give a good answer 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..."
The reporters looked at Wang Zelin in stunned silence, not expecting the latter to be so disrespectful.
It didn't take long for them to think up various reasons for the arrangement in their hearts.
