There was a lot of discussion on social media, and then the league also issued additional penalties for what happened in the previous game.
Green was slapped with a first-degree flagrant foul and was fined $25,000; Lin Ying's first-degree flagrant foul was upgraded to a second-degree flagrant foul and was fined $30,000.
This wave of operations is quite real. Stern originally tried his best to build a violence-free alliance, and Tatum inherited that desire. If he does not add more after the game, it will be like destroying the Great Wall.
However, this penalty is not painful for the Nets.
Because here we only talk about upgrades, not additional bans, which means Lin Ying was fined US$30,000 (second-level malice and bans are not necessarily related, but there is a high probability that they will occur at the same time).
Based on Lin Ying's current economic level, 30,000 yuan is not much different from 3 yuan.
And on the same day that the league issued the penalty, Green's injury report also came out.
Green suffered a moderate concussion and was out for nearly a month.
The topic of concussion has always been ignored in the NBA, and it is divided into three levels: mild, moderate and severe.
In fact, a large number of players will suffer mild concussion during the game and miss the game. Green was punched by Lin Ying at close range, and the consequences were a bit tragic.
But just like Bowen, because he used small tricks to trick people in advance, and Durant also left the game because he was kicked in the crotch, this wave of Green is completely self-inflicted, and he has to swallow the bitter consequences himself.
After officially establishing himself as the "New Press King" after the game against the Warriors, Lin Ying would copy some of Bird's classic moves from time to time in subsequent games.
For example, in the game against the Bucks in mid-January, Lin Ying scored 58 points in the first three quarters. If he scored two more points, he would have scored another 60+ points this season.
As a result, Lu asked him to play in the fourth quarter, but he actually refused.
When faced with reporters' questions during the post-game interview, his answers were convincing and reasonable. Of course, the most important thing was that he was pretending to be cool.
"The game is over, isn't it?"
At the end of the third quarter, the Nets were already leading by 20+ points, and the last quarter became pure garbage time.
So there is nothing wrong with what I said.
In fact, Lin Ying's operation was something Kobe had done many years ago. At that time, Kobe scored 62 points in three quarters, but did not play in the fourth quarter.
It's just that the way Lin Ying speaks, combined with his current nickname of "The New King", doesn't seem to be out of place.
You may even think that he should really say it.
Another example is when playing against the Timberwolves, "junior brother" Stephenson kept trying to use words to anger Lin Ying, using this method to interfere with Lin Ying's offense.
Then during an attack, Lin Ying faced Stephenson and directly told Stephenson:
"I'm going to change direction from the right, then turn around and pull the lever to the left for a layup and score the ball."
Then, he did it successfully!
Stephenson struggled to stop it and even got a foul. In the end, he stood there stunned, sighing and shaking his head.
That was enough to beat the "junior brother" to the point of losing his temper.
No one expected that the tone of this season would suddenly change because of Durant's words.
Fans were fascinated by Lin Ying's showmanship, and their enthusiasm for watching football also expanded rapidly.
This is like the saying: Don't be afraid of women being beautiful, just be afraid of beautiful women being coquettish!
Back then, the Spurs and Pistons games were played with high intensity, but they were not entertaining and no one was willing to take care of them. It turned into the finals with the lowest ratings.
But in history, there are various kinds of battles between knights and heroes. You kick me and I jump on you, and the attention is directly filled up.
Basketball is not just about competition, it turns out that it is also a very important part.
And as Lin Ying continued to recover, Durant's condition also began to recover.
Just like when Durant connected two seemingly unrelated things, these two things really influenced each other!
For Lin Ying, he can no longer stop showing off, because he doesn't know if he will make Durant's condition fluctuate again.
So in order for the Nets to win the championship, he must show off his strength and not stop!
It is against this background that the time has come to the end of January.
The final results of the All-Star fan voting and the results of the player voting have been released.
Because it is the first year, both lineups this year are worthy of attention.
In terms of fan voting, the starting lineups for the East and West are:
West: Curry, Kobe, Leonard, James, Anthony Davis;
Kobe Bryant became this year's All-Star vote leader.
East: Rose, DeRozan, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic!
DeRozan sneaks in, All-Star Nets!
The fans really did what they wanted to do!
Then here are the starting lineups as voted by the players:
West: Curry, Kobe, Leonard, James, Anthony Davis;
The results in the Western Conference are exactly the same as the fans' selection.
East: Paul, Walker, Durant, Lin Ying, Antetokounmpo;
The difference here in the east is still quite big.
According to the previously set rules, fans and player votes accounted for 50% each, and the final starting lineups for the East and West were obtained:
West: Curry, Kobe, Leonard, James, Davis;
West: Paul, DeRozan, Durant, Lin Ying, Antetokounmpo.
Jokic was a little regretful that he failed to enter the starting lineup in the end, but this has a lot to do with him being on the Nets.
Not in terms of strength, but in terms of team function.
Antetokounmpo is the core of the team. For the players, they are directly facing each other on the court, so the impression will be more profound.
But this is not necessarily a bad thing for the little fat guy.
He was tortured badly by Lu this season. He had originally planned to make a splash in the All-Star Game, so he was justified in losing the selection.
Otherwise, like Yao Ming back then, he would be criticized by fans for paddling to recuperate.
In addition to the main selection, the substitute lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences were also announced at this time.
East: Walker, Lowry, Wall, Anthony, Love, Horford, Jokic;
West: Westbrook, Thompson, Harden, Wiggins, Paul George, Griffin, Cousins
This year, Wiggins began to break out with the Nuggets, averaging close to 28+5+4 per game. He ranked fourth in both the fan and player voting, and was eventually chosen by the coaches, making his first All-Star appearance in his career.
race.
In addition to the All-Star main game roster, in terms of individual competitions, the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest have attracted attention.
But in the end, neither LaVine nor Gordon participated in the dunk contest this year.
As for the three-point shooting contest, many fans expect Lin Ying to participate this year.
Because Bird said "You are all here to compete for second place" in the three-point shooting contest.
But in the end, Lin Ying did not appear on the official list.
In fact, most fans are just fans, and Barkley, the "number one player", can see it accurately.
Lin Ying seems to be copying Bird's pretense, but in fact he surpasses him in every detail.
As for the three-point shooting contest, there is no more pretentious way than this.
And although Lin Ying's three-point shooting is stable and he has won the three-point competition championship, he does not rely on three-pointers after all, and the probability of overturning is not small.
Pretending is to pretend to be sure. If you can't hold it, you will probably end up overturning.
…
Time flies and the All-Star Game is approaching in a blink of an eye.
Lin Ying, Durant, and Jokic headed to New Orleans together.
Another year of threesome.
But speaking of this year's All-Star Game, there is a small episode.
Originally this year's All-Star Game was scheduled to be in Charlotte, Boss Joe's territory.
However, due to relevant laws in the city of Charlotte, the NBA felt that it did not respect human rights, and finally canceled Charlotte's hosting rights and changed it to New Orleans.
This is the third time in twelve years that New Orleans has hosted the All-Star Game, which is exactly the same cycle as the Olympic Games.
As for what this law is, to put it more clearly, it means that relationships between men and women are not allowed.
In the United States, homosexuality is prevalent, and given the system, even if you don’t allow it, you will be treated like this. Boss Qiao asked who should I ask to reason with.
You must know that the Hornets' record is booming this year, and their influence has finally begun to increase. Coupled with the popularity of him and Bird, once the All-Star Game is held, it will be a huge source of money.
The result is now better. Just because of this special environment, I couldn't fix it.
"Ying, I heard that the Western Conference team is interested in giving Davis the MVP award this year."
On the plane to New Orleans, Durant said to Lin Ying excitedly.
As a social media guru, he is quite knowledgeable about gossip.
"Russell told you?"
Lin Ying said with a smile.
"...That's not true. That guy is very popular now. I heard that Kobe is planning to take a break during this year's All-Star Game."
What Durant said is quite reasonable.
In the past, there were "four major shooting guards" and "four major forwards", but now there are "four major supernovas".
And there are two in the east and west, Jokic and Antetokounmpo in the east, and Wiggins and Davis in the west.
Among these four supernovas, Davis is undoubtedly the most popular in North America.
"A rare insider in fifty years", "the inside terminator in the small ball era", "an epoch-making player who breaks the traditional definition of inside"...
These are all blown by the North American media, and the reason is very simple. Among these four people, only Davis is an American!
Moreover, it has been too long since the United States has had a super insider!
Nowadays, it is not easy for an insider with explosive dynamic and static talents to appear, so he should not be praised as the next number one player in the league.
Some people here may say that Towns is only in his second year, and it is inevitable that his data will be affected when teaming with Harden.
Davis is now a super potential stock in North America, and not only the media is praising him, but everyone is praising him.
As for Kobe, the Lakers' record is so good this season. He is expected to compete for a championship one last time before retiring. He will definitely want to rest during the All-Star Game.
So what Durant said is very possible.
Moreover, Durant's words also awakened some memories in Lin Ying's mind.
In history, Davis set an All-Star Game scoring record of 52 points in a single game this year.
Moreover, Davis also showed off in the post-game interview. Here is an appreciation of the original words:
"I am very honored to break Chamberlain's record. During the game, I had no idea that 42 points was the highest score by an All-Star in history. I just concentrated on the confrontation. As for when can I break my own record? I will try hard to see next year.
Bar."
So if nothing else happens, Davis will most likely show off at this All-Star Game just like in history.
Then, a sentence kept flashing in Lin Ying's mind:
"Waring! Waring! Waring!"
Colleagues are enemies, and this is an automatic flash.
"So, Shadow, what are you going to do at the All-Star Game?"
A reminder from your teammates that it's time for you to start a new performance.
"Is it okay if I hit you casually?"
Lin Ying couldn't help but speak.
"Of course not, I'm still waiting to see what you do!"
And this teammate is still addicted!
Lin Ying really wanted to say, why don't you go in by yourself, but when he thought of Durant's ups and downs in the previous period.
"Yes."
Lin Ying just thought about it for a moment and already had an idea.
"What is it?"
Durant is like the spectator who wants to spoil the story.
"What it is...of course I can't tell you."
It is impossible to spoil the story. If this thing is spoiled, you will lose interest.
Although Durant was itching, he also knew that Lin Ying was doing it to make him feel better later.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Durant's interest was also extremely intense, because after thinking about it, Lin Ying had already finished pretending to be interesting.
The unknown is like the dark forest, leading people to long for exploration.
When he arrived in New Orleans, Lin Ying made an appointment with Kobe Bryant.
This time it was just him, Durant and Kobe drinking coffee in the coffee shop.
New Orleans is a port city. Sitting where you can see the sea and drinking coffee there is quite a feeling.
It's just a pity that it's not summer, otherwise it would be more interesting with the sea breeze.
When the three of them sat down, the first thing they did was naturally chat about family matters, what fun things had happened recently, what delicious food there was, and what they had been doing recently.
"I'm learning to fly a helicopter recently."
When Kobe said this, Lin Ying almost spit out his coffee on the spot.
Good guy, when he initially advised Kobe not to fly in a helicopter, he originally thought there would be two outcomes: Kobe continuing to ride or Kobe giving up.
Who would have thought that there is a third answer to this.
This is an unimagined road!
And it’s also very reasonable.
When Lin Ying persuaded Kobe at the beginning, he focused on Kobe's character traits and asked him not to put the "steering wheel" in the hands of others and let others decide his destiny.
So Kobe opened it himself, which was the best of both worlds for Kobe.
Not only can you continue to use this convenient and fast means of transportation, but you can also keep the "steering wheel" in your own hands.
Jue Juezi.
But this way, Lin Ying felt like it was getting worse!
Because he thinks Kobe is more likely to have an accident when flying a helicopter than riding in a helicopter!
If history cannot be changed and something happens, he will become an accomplice.
But just when he was about to say something else, Kobe smiled and continued:
Chapter completed!
