Chapter 185, After the fight, 【Superstar Deterrence】!
This fight is destined to make Zhou Hang famous in the alliance again.
A rookie who had just broken Jordan's record in G2 of the Western Conference Finals and had an unlimited future, shook his fist at several veterans and even famous league coaches.
NBA commissioner David Stern received a call after the conflict, and he was furious! !
Stern is committed to building the NBA into a gentleman's league. Hello, me, and everyone are good to make money together, but there are always moths.
The Palace of Auburn Hills incident a few years ago and the Knicks Nuggets conflict in 06 have just subsided, and now they are doing such a thing again.
And the two sides in the conflict were the two teams in the Western Conference Finals, making it impossible for Stein to impose heavy penalties like the Palace of Auburn Hills and Madison Gardens.
Especially Zhou Hang, who represents the Chinese market.
The NBA has just signed contracts with several Chinese sponsors, not to mention that Zhou Hang is still the absolute main force of the Lakers who may enter the finals.
The fact that the league still wants ratings means that it is impossible to punish Zhou Hang severely.
The roles on the Spurs side are Bowen and Horry.
Anyone can see who is picking things up.
Stern immediately asked Adam Silva to set up an investigation team to investigate the conflict.
This conflicting matter requires more information.
Stern's phone kept ringing, too many people came to him for information.
Los Angeles.
CEO's office.
Jim Buss and general manager Kupchak also saw the conflict on TV.
They all have big heads.
Jim Buss said helplessly, "Zhou is really good at fighting."
Kupchak spread his hands: "This is not the first time this has happened to him. He is a timing powder keg. You never know when he will explode."
Zhou Hang's character caused the Lakers management a headache. This is not the first time. The last time he beat up a Celtics player, there was a lot of trouble.
Jim Buss said: "What do we do next? We can't play in the Finals without him."
The results of G3 between the Lakers and the Spurs have basically been determined. Now that the Lakers are leading by almost 20 points, and Kobe and Gasol are still there, it is difficult for the Spurs to comeback.
With a 3-0 lead, even without Zhou Hang, the Spurs will not be able to comeback in the next series, and they need to consider the finals.
Kupchak smiled bitterly: "I can only talk to Stern and try to reduce his suspension punishment."
Jim Buss frowned and said, "I don't like dealing with Stern, that guy always likes to order people."
Kupchak said: "Let's talk to him, there will be teams in the East to put pressure on him."
The teams in the Eastern Conference that entered the finals certainly don't want to see Zhou Hang in the finals.
Zhou Hang is too important to the Lakers' perimeter.
Considering the overall situation, Jim Buss nodded.
Although Zhou Hang was reasonable, Jim Bass was still dissatisfied with Zhou Hang, and he had to wipe his ass on this matter.
Communication with the league president can only be done by Jim Buss. If Kupchak goes, it is unequal communication and not enough respect for Stern.
The Lakers management was quite speechless about Zhou Hang's fight.
Seeing that everything is going smoothly for the Lakers, they are about to enter the finals and hit the championship, and now this happened again.
They were also simmering with fire in their hearts.
Kupchak even thought about the idea of trading Zhou Hang away in the summer. Zhou Hang is really too troublesome, not only wanting the ball, but also fighting for non-status, which is extremely easy to split the Lakers.
After returning to the locker room, Zhou Hang watched TV.
On TV is the next game.
Zhou Hang didn't regret the fight at all. It was impossible for him to see Bo Wen and Huo Li throwing punches and remain indifferent.
Bowen's previous damage to him was too much, and he had to respond.
The game on the court was suspended for nearly 10 minutes before it started.
The Lakers have been steadily suppressing the Spurs.
There is a big difference in points, and there is not much to say about the content of the game.
Barkley chatted with Smith about NBA fights.
Smith asked: "Charles, how many fights have left a deep impression on you?"
Barkley laughed: "Am I involved or am I not involved?"
"It's fine," Smith said.
Barkley said: "There are a few more impressive ones, the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the fight at Madison Garden two years ago, and of course the fight between me and Shaq and me and Oakley."
The Palace of Auburn Hills incident is well known.
And the brawl in Madison Garden two years ago made many people forget.
In a game between the Knicks and the Nuggets.
At the end of the game, the Knicks guard made a malicious foul on JR Smith of the Nuggets, which eventually turned from a small friction into a group brawl, and many people chased JR for more than half the distance.
JR's bleakness is worse than Nick Young's one-on-five in the future
A total of seven players were suspended after the Nuggets played against the Knicks.
This happened just after the league promulgated a series of regulations to stop fighting, and then such a large-scale fight occurred in Madison Garden, the holy land of basketball, which caused a huge loss to the image of the NBA.
The conflict between O'Neal and Barkley, Barkley and Oakley is a bit insignificant compared to these conflicts, and Barkley forced himself to put gold on his face.
Barkley went on to say: "Zhou's fight, from my point of view, surpassed all previous fights. Although the fight was not long, it was very intense."
Smith said: "How many games do you think Zhou Hang will be suspended?"
Barkley said: "The fight was caused by Bruce Bowen's malicious foul, and then he pushed Zhou Hang, Horry also punched Zhou Hang, and Zhou Hang fought back in self-defense. If Zhou Hang didn't stand on the field, they Several fell to the ground, Zhou Hang didn't even have to suspend the game, of course, the league can't ban Zhou Hang, after all, this guy can even beat Popovich."
Barkley couldn't help but smile when he saw Popovich bleeding.
Barkley finally said: "I think a suspension of 1 to 3 games is more reasonable."
Smith said: "I think so too, Charles, do you think Zhou is the most capable player in the NBA right now?"
Barkley said: "Of course, if I hadn't retired, I could have had a few rounds with him. Now that I'm retired, he is the most capable player. You can't expect Shaq to be a threat to him. "
Smith laughed: "Hahaha!!!"
It was the first time that Zhou Hang's fighting ability was shown in front of the camera, which caused a huge sensation.
There is almost no doubt that Zhou Hang automatically surpassed Artest, Jackson and other fierce men to become No. 1 in the fight.
The fight between Zhou Hang and the Spurs completely cheered up the basketball-related media.
The media began to watch the video, constantly writing about the cause and effect of the fight.
Major portal websites have also made a special series of reports.
The story started with the Spurs fans maliciously harassing the Lakers players before the game, and then Zhou Hang clenched his fists and punched, Bowen fell to the ground, Horry fell to the ground, Parker fell to the ground, and Popovich's face was covered with blood as the cover! !
Shocking! !
This series of special reports is very attractive to traffic, and it also makes basketball fans who don't know the truth click in to watch! !
Even a well-known director in Los Angeles said that it can be made into a movie.
Zhou Hang received many calls while watching the game in the locker room.
Soo Hyun, agent Pelinka, league investigation team
Soo Hyun was very concerned about whether Zhou Hang was hurt or not. As soon as she got off the plane from South Korea, she immediately bought a ticket to fly back to Los Angeles, and planned to accompany Zhou Hang through this difficult period when he returned.
Pelinka chatted with Zhou Hang. He needs to know how Zhou Hang views this matter. Pelinka will also arrange a public relations company to deal with the public opinion after the game, and then communicate with endorsement manufacturers. .
Pelinka also felt a headache for Zhou Hang's fight again. This is not the first time such a thing happened to Zhou Hang. Last time, no cameras caught it. This time, tens of millions of fans watched Zhou Hang beat him to the ground.
Although Zhou Hang is on the side of reason, the final result must be to sympathize with the weak, and public opinion may be unfavorable to Zhou Hang.
Some manufacturers are very disgusted that such vicious incidents of spokespersons have occurred, which may cause Zhou Hang to have some lawsuits and terminate the contract to pay compensation.
Pelinka did not dare to complain about Zhou Hang. After all, Zhou Hang is the BOSS, and even if the impact is caused, he is responsible for it. Pelinka's work team is not only the usual work and services, but also the work of this kind of crisis public relations.
After Pelinka hung up the phone, he immediately became busy.
The call from the alliance investigation team is mainly to understand the cause and effect of the matter with Zhou Hang.
After Zhou Hang hung up the phone, he didn't take it seriously.
With his current fame, the endorsement contracts he signed before were all profitable, and it is unlikely that any company will terminate his contract.
Moreover, 80% of the endorsement brands signed by Zhou Hang are domestic endorsements.
The fight Zhou Hang fought was forced to fight when he was being bullied. If the endorsement manufacturer didn't stand by Zhou Hang, he might be criticized wildly by domestic fans.
Yo, the black man wants to beat Zhou Hang, but Zhou Hang can't fight back, right?
This fight against Zhou Hang was not justified, the main reason was that the opponent was beaten too badly by Zhou Hang.
Then when the alliance investigates here, Zhou Hang can also feel that the alliance intends to suppress this matter.
After all, the Western Conference finals are going on now, and the Lakers are likely to play in the finals next. Zhou Hang's popularity is very high. If he is suspended in the finals, the league will suffer a great loss.
Zhou Hang is also ready to be banned, but Zhou Hang is not worried about not being able to play in the finals.
It is impossible for the league to ban him all the finals.
In Zhou Hang's memory, in his previous life, without Bynum and him, the Lakers couldn't beat the Celtics' Big Three. Until two years later, the Celtics' Big Three were two years older, and then they suffered injuries. In the case of illness, Kobe led the Lakers to finally complete their revenge.
Zhou Hang is very confident that as long as he is on the court in the finals, he has the ability to help the Lakers reverse the game.
Now that the fight is over, Zhou Hang won't think about what will happen if he doesn't fight. What he needs to do is to try his best to avoid the loss to himself and the team.
"Use [Lucky Card]!"
Without any hesitation, Zhou Hang started to activate the lucky card mode, and he needs to maintain the lucky mode for the next ten days.
Make sure there aren't too many surprises during this time.
Looking at the considerable victory points he had accumulated, Zhou Hang was very satisfied.
Now the consumption of using the lucky card every day is like a drop in the bucket for him.
After Zhou Hang settled the matter, the game on the field also ended.
Only Zhou Hang was expelled from the Lakers side, while three players were expelled from the Spurs side, and the head coach was not there. Naturally, they did not have a strong ability to chase points.
The game situation has been under Kobe's firm control.
In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 100 to 112.
The Lakers defeated the Spurs away, and the series between the two sides came to a 3-0 score.
The Spurs are in a desperate situation! ! !
Zhou Hang's data in this game is 24 points, 6 assists, 8 rebounds and 3 steals.
This is Zhou Hang's lowest score in this round.
Kobe scored a game-high 31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Kobe was the number one contributor to the Lakers' win tonight. After Zhou Hang was not on the court, he stabilized the Lakers' morale and allowed the Lakers to face the Spurs' counterattack at home. panic.
马刺那边，邓肯26分17篮板4封盖，吉诺比利28分8助攻4篮板，帕克11分6助攻，奥托博7分6篮板
Duncan and Ginobili have tried their best, but they still haven't prevented the Spurs from losing at home.
"Dang, G3 wins the Western Conference Finals, rewarding 6 victory points."
"Dang, get the evaluation of the NBA's contemporary fighting king, and reward the S skill card [Superstar Deterrence]!"
"[Superstar Deterrence]: Triggered randomly, when facing an opponent with weak psychological quality, the opponent's offensive and defensive efficiency will decrease by 5%, and the host will increase by 5%."
Not the best player, rewarding only 6 LPs.
What Zhou Hang cares more about is the skill card [Superstar Deterrence] rewarded this time!
"use!"
Zhou Hang didn't hesitate to equip the superstar deterrent skill on his body, once in a while, if the skill is triggered, it can increase the ability by 10%.
Zhou Hang asked: "System, what is an opponent with weak psychological quality?"
The system said: "A small number of rookies, a small number of blue-collar players, or some players who have just returned from injury."
Zhou Hang understood the usefulness of this skill. Random triggering means that this skill will not always have an effect, but only at a specific time.
Hey, something is better than nothing, this is Zhou Hang's idea.
after the game.
The Lakers players returned to the locker room immediately.
"We won, Zhou."
"Haha, it's 3 to 0, and now we are firmly promoted."
"We can definitely eliminate them."
"We'll be the champions of the Western Conference!!"
The Lakers players are all celebrating.
Only Kobe has a hidden worry. Kobe is no longer worried about the Spurs, but what should the Lakers do after they enter the finals?
The result of Zhou Hang's current suspension has not yet come out. If he can't play in the finals, the Lakers will be in big trouble.
Post-match press conference.
The Spurs scolded Zhou Hang from top to bottom.
Ginobili said: "I have never seen such a vicious incident on the court, and Camby is on the mountain tonight!"
Finley said: "Is this a basketball court? I suspect it has become a boxing arena. Zhou shouldn't have done this. Greg is very old. It is immoral for him to do so."
Ottobo said: "I was stunned when I saw that guy throw a punch! How can there be such a rookie."
Duncan, as always, did not make any noise on the matter.
The Spurs tried to define Zhou Hang as a villain! !
