The Celtics players walked to the locker room expressionlessly, but everyone knew that underneath these calm faces was boundless anger. It would be like this for any player. A victory that was originally won, but because of a complete failure at the last moment
A wrong penalty was handed to the opponent. At this time, do you still want the Celtics players to laugh and not take it seriously?
The Celtic fans also understood this, because they were in an equally bad mood, but when the Celtic players ran in from the tunnel, the fans in this area still did not forget to give the warmest applause.
On the other side, when James ran through the tunnel, all he got was strong boos and abuse.
"In addition to being taken care of by the referees, what else will you do?" "LeBron, you are a baby who is still drinking milk. David Stern gave you enough milk so that you have everything you have now." "Steal."
Despicable people who take advantage of the fruits of victory."
No one knew what James was thinking. He ran to the locker room expressionlessly amidst the violent boos, but his mood was obviously different from the Celtics players, because tonight he led the team from the Garden Arena to
Walked away a victory.
The fans sitting in the middle stands are too far away from the tunnel, so their cheers and boos are not very strong, but this does not mean that they have nothing to do. As the main culprit of the Celtics' defeat in this game
, the referee in front of the scorer's table is bearing the anger of Celtic fans.
There were naturally many verbal expressions of anger and sarcasm, and mineral water bottles and inflatable sticks also began to fly towards the scorer's table, the referee who just called Yang Shuai for a foul.
The players had left the stadium, but the situation was gradually getting out of control. Celtic staff had to come out to maintain order, and then asked these excited fans to leave the arena. Although these staff members were also extremely angry, this was
their job.
Back in the locker room, some Celtics players were packing their things, and some were sitting around in a daze, but no one left, and no one went to take a shower or change clothes. As the absolute core of the players, Pierce, Ray Allen, and
Nate and the others didn't move.
"These are such bastards, and our victory was ruined by them like this." Garnett shouted first, shaking his fist with an angry look, and then smashed it on the chair he was sitting on.
The locker room suddenly became noisy. All the players were talking about the call just now, scolding the referee over and over again for having eyes on his butt, and scolding David Stern for only having LeBron in his eyes.
James.
At this time, as one of the parties involved, Yang Shuai, who was the most excited on the court just now, remained silent. His abnormal behavior quickly attracted the attention of his teammates. Kanaimono said with a puzzled face: "Hey, boy, why?
If you don’t express your opinion, I think you should be the one who scolds the loudest. Are you willing to accept this result?"
Yang Shuai shook his head and said: "How is it possible, willingly? Take a shower, those guys must be waiting for us to appear at the press conference. Speedy"
Rivers came to the locker room at this time. He looked around the lively locker room, then his eyes paused on Yang Shuai and Garnett for a moment, and said: "I know what everyone is thinking. This victory originally belonged to
Ours, but now, we can only accept the result of a 1:1 draw. However, this is only the second game, and we still have enough time to prove our excellence. Are you angry? Very good, vent it to the next
During the game. Now, it’s disbanded, and the team will protest to the league about today’s events. Paul, Kevin and I went to the post-game press conference, and the others... Yang, you go too, the others are dismissed
."
The players all nodded, and then packed their things to take a shower and change clothes. After Yang Shuai finished taking a shower, he found that the other two people had come out. They were standing with Rivers, but he was the last one. He turned toward the three
The person showed an apologetic smile, and Yang Shuai said: "Sorry, I think I took a little too long to wash myself. I stayed with an annoying person for a long time today, and I want to clean up a little bit."
The three of Rivers smiled softly. Of course they understood who Yang Shuai was talking about as the annoying person. Rivers shook his head and said: "Yang..."
After saying this, Rivers did not continue. Yang Shuai looked at the coach who was hesitant to speak and asked with a smile: "Coach? What's the matter?"
Rivers shook his head and smiled: "No." He originally wanted to ask Yang Shuai not to speak too much at the press conference, but then he thought about it and there was nothing he couldn't say. If Yang Shuai was angry, let him vent it.
Well, other people in the team might not want to do this, so they let Yang Shuai be the representative.
When the four people arrived at the press conference, all the reporters were already in place. They had obviously been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Rivers leading a few people out, they let out a long breath, and then began to observe how many people were doing.
Expression. Yang Shuai was the last one to come out. His appearance attracted the attention of many reporters. They all wanted to see something from Yang Shuai’s face, but everyone was disappointed. There was nothing visible on Yang Shuai’s face.
anything.
"Mr. Doug, you lost a home court, and the referee's final penalty caused controversy. What do you think of this penalty?"
The reporters' focus was obviously the same, so this time, the reporter who asked the question didn't even beat around the bush and pointed out the topic directly.
Rivers pondered slightly, as if he was preparing his words, but also seemed unwilling to answer the question. After about twenty seconds, he said: "This is undoubtedly a misjudgment. Before my player committed a foul,
The opponent has already committed a walking violation. I don’t understand why the referee didn’t notice it, but we will appeal to the league about this issue. As for losing a home court, it’s not a big deal. Since the opponent can win at our home court, we can also win at the opponent’s home court.
Achieve victory."
The reporters understood that no one else was the protagonist. As one of the parties involved in the whistleblowing, Yang Shuai, who had never scrupled in front of the media, was the protagonist in their eyes.
"Yang, what do you think about the loss of this game and the last penalty?"
"Opinion?" Yang Shuai glanced at the reporter below and asked angrily: "What opinion can I have? Can my opinion change the referee's decision? I am not some guy who is taken care of by the league."
There was a roar. They all understood what Yang Shuai was referring to, so another person asked more clearly: "Yang, do you mean you think this call was because the referee deliberately favored LeBron?"
"Isn't it?" Yang Shuai asked back: "Our whole team tried our best. Me, my teammates, Celtic fans, all of us thought we could win another victory, but in the end
At this moment, our efforts were completely destroyed, with a shameless and irresistible behavior. From the time Paul was fouled and was not called, the referee tried to change the direction of the game. The five of us on the field
We can defeat the other five, but we cannot defeat the sixth person.
The protagonist of this game is not our players, the real protagonist is the whistle, which shamelessly stole our victory and then delivered it to the opponent's hands.
Everyone can see that this is an obvious walking behavior, but some people can't see it, or maybe some people can't see that guy's walking behavior. I think there must be many people who want that guy to enter the finals.
But the Celtics won't agree."
The people at the scene were already prepared for what Yang Shuai said, but they were still excited when they heard Yang Shuai say it himself. The reporters recorded everything Yang Shuai said, and they were ready to put it on the headlines of the report.
Rivers did not stop Yang Shuai from speaking. The moment he decided to take Yang Shuai out, he knew what this guy would say.
Yang Shuai looked at the excited reporters below, then turned to look at the two teammates beside him, and said proudly: "Perhaps you should add another sentence to remind those whistlers to blow earlier in the next game.
After garbage time, their whistles can't change Cleveland's fate."
The reporters nodded obediently and then added this sentence after Yang Shuai. This was a declaration of war on both the referees and the Cavaliers. How could they have omitted this sentence.
After the press conference, Garnett and Yang Shuai walked back side by side, patted Yang Shuai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, I like the last sentence you said, even though it may bring trouble to our game.
Some trouble."
Pierce nodded. Only Rivers was worrying about the gains and losses. He knew that this would greatly boost the morale of the players, and maybe they could really play high-level offense and defense in the third game. But he also understood that if the referee was determined,
If you have to take care of the Cavaliers, the game will become extremely difficult for the Celtics.
At the end of the game, reports about the game reached the eyes of all basketball fans. After the press conference, Yang Shuai's words also reached the ears of everyone, including of course David Ste.
kindness.
The video of the last moments of the game and the video of Yang Shuai at the press conference were immediately transmitted to Stern. There is no need to watch the video of the game. Stern understands what is going on. Stern understands but it does not mean that
Yang Shuai can criticize without restraint. He is no stranger to the name Yang Shuai. He is very optimistic about the Chinese market behind Yang Shuai, but James is also the person he wants to praise, and at this stage, Yang Shuai's name and James' name
The weight in his heart is completely different.
I don’t know who posted the complete video of the press conference on the Internet. For a while, Yang Shuai’s name was remembered by James fans. They began to belittle Yang Shuai wantonly on major networks. As for James’ last moments
Walking is completely avoided.
The number of fans of Yang Shuai in the United States is far less than that of James, so there is almost an anti-Yang Shuai voice on the Internet in the United States. Some Chinese fans have also participated, but the difference in numbers has not had the desired effect at all.
Near Boston University, Chu Xiyun and Zhu Li stared at each other. They also participated in the scolding on the Internet, but they were weak in strength and were not defeated in the end. Chu Xiyun pointed at the computer and shouted angrily: "Too
It’s so shameless, these hateful guys are so shameless.”
Zhu Li also agreed with Chu Xiyun's evaluation. She pointed out that Yang Shuai's fans lacked organization. She felt that the two of them should organize Yang Shuai's fans. Zhu Li's point of view was recognized by Chu Xiyun, and the two began to organize together.
Fan matters.
At the same time, the league's punishment for this incident also came out. Yang Shuai was fined 35,000 US dollars for inappropriate words and deeds. After this penalty appeared, Yang Shuai sneered, "David Stern, how can you be so shameless?"
