Chapter 222 Post-match impact! The result of the suspension is released!
Chapter 222 Post-match impact! The result of the suspension is released!
All they were worried about was that they would go back to the pre-game series and the series would be over, but now with Auerbach's assurance, both of their worries were instantly gone!
After all, Auerbach's qualifications and status are placed there, and the two of them have incredible trust in it!
If there is one person in this alliance who can influence official opinions and decisions, it must be Auerbach!
The two whose hearts fell to the ground immediately relaxed, moved a few sofas to put them together, and Lin Long turned on the TV.
Billups even got a few packs of potato chips and fried chicken from nowhere and placed them between the two, happily watching the next game.
The second half of the game, the Celtics extended their lead.
Although Ma Long and others were rejuvenated after the intermission, they were too far behind in the first half.
The Celtics are here for the three armies, and everyone is brave!
Even without Lin Long and Billups, they still played with the style and attitude they should have. Coupled with Barkley's life-threatening play, if Malone scores one, Barkley will definitely find a way to get back on the table. One goal, the two people almost exchanged money in the rest of the game, and neither one took advantage of it.
In the end, the Jazz failed to reverse the score by 31 and lost to the Celtics 99:106. They were beaten 2:0 behind at home, and their lives were on the line.
What's more, they are going to Boston to play 3 away games in a row.
You know, the Celtics' home court has not fallen in the playoffs, and they are still winning.
It can be said that the probability of the Jazz winning the championship has been infinitely close to 0.
The only suspense may be how the league will punish Lin Long, Lupus and others.
The result of these three suspensions has become the final variable in this round of the series.
Fortunately, the league did not make the two teams and their fans wait for a long time. The result of the three-person suspension was even earlier than the injury report of the beaten ones. The entire basketball circle was notified early the next morning. .
Lin Long was awakened by a phone call in his sleep to know the result of the incident.
Lin Long, the main force with the heaviest shot and consecutive KO opponents, was suspended for 3 games and fined $50,000.
Billups pulled out a chunk of Stockton's hair and knocked out one of his front teeth, and was suspended for two games and fined $30,000.
Stockton was suspended for just one game and fined $15,000 for being a late shooter in a fight with Billups.
Others were exempted from additional penalties after the game.
A 3-game suspension is actually not that long. Even if you take into account the NBA's previous additional penalties for fights, it is normal for a fight of this level to be suspended for 10-15 games!
Lin Long only truce for 3 games, this punishment is definitely not strict.
There is no doubt that this is Auerbach's credit, and his connections and influence have played a great role at this time.
But at the same time, it also means that Lin Long's home game this season has ended ahead of schedule.
After all, the next three games are all in the North Shore Garden.
If the Celtics don't win two of those three games and win the championship, the remaining two games will be played again at the Energy Arena in Salt Lake City.
And until that time, Lin Long ended his suspension and could continue to play.
In other words, Lin Long will not be able to participate in the 3 games at home. It can only see how much Barkley can bring the team to.
But in any case, the Celtics with a 2-0 lead, even if they suffered a 3-game losing streak in the three games without Lin Long, and Lin Long returns in the sixth game, can save this round of the series!
From the previous two games.
If both sides are in full lineup, then the Jazz and the Celtics are not at the same level at all!
In the first two games, the Celtics have shown a level of strength that is a lot higher than that of the Jazz.
The result of this suspension was also introduced to the Jazz training hall. Malone still has a bandage on his nose. He is very lucky, and his bones are not broken, but if he wants to recover, it will take 3-4 days. With this news, Ma Long angrily put the basketball in his hand and smashed it on the ground, dissatisfied:
"Did those guys in the league eat their shit? For a fight of this level, only a 3-game suspension? Did they take Auerbach's money?
"I'm afraid the money will be confiscated, but don't forget, Carl." Stockton's hairstyle has turned into an inch, but it still can't hide the blank space on the top of his head that Billups has completely scratched, Stockton He opened his mouth and leaked out the newly filled teeth: "Don't forget that Auerbach is the oldest and most connected old bastard in the entire league! As long as he opens his mouth, it is normal to want some preferential treatment."
Searle's browbones were bandaged.
He only took a punch from Lin Long, but this punch directly exploded his brow bone and caused 7 stitches in one punch, Russell whispered: "But Lin Long still has to rest for 3 games, we have to catch A chance to live these three games. 99
Ma Long said: "Whether he is there or not, we play game by game, with or without Lin Long, we will definitely win the championship!
No one dared to refute Ma Long's words, but everyone, including Ma Long himself, knew that this was nonsense.
Every Jazz player has decided that the Celtics with Lin Long are no match!
Sloan watched the disciples study the next game, discussing how to be ashamed in the North Shore Garden.
Nodding silently, at least the morale of the Jazz team is still high.
But Sloan is not like a player who can brag about it casually. In his heart, they will definitely win 3 consecutive games in the 3rd-5th game!
But when the game is back in Salt Lake City and Lin Long is back on the court, how will they deal with the full version of the Celtics? Sloan regrets it at this time, he regrets not having the players fight earlier in the second game, Get Lin Long down.
Not being able to complete the comeback without Lin Long in Game 2 means not being able to end the series before Lin Long returns, and the impact on them will likely be fatal.
If Lin Long, Barkley, Billups are all on the court, how do you win the game?
This afternoon, Lin Long also walked out of the house and went to the training hall of the Celtics. Although he was unable to play for three consecutive games, Lin Long was not the kind of lazy person. He was not prepared to look for the team's training. Any excuse to be absent.
Lin Long noticed that since he stopped the car, every Celtic staff member he encountered looked at him and greeted him with a different tone of voice.
If they just regarded Lin Long as a teenage genius and hoped for the team's revival, after this fight, every Celtics staff member will regard Lin Long as a hero from the bottom of their hearts!
It's still the kind of superhero who can defeat the top 350 with the weak, win the more with less, and turn the impossible into a possibility.
If before last night, the Bostonians just regarded Lin Long as the hope of the team's revival, the cornerstone of reconstruction.
So now, every Boston fan and team member has a brand new orientation for Lin Long.
King of the Alliance!
Although not crowned, but everyone believes that it is only a matter of time!
This is also reflected most clearly in the Boston Times report!
On this evening, the Boston Times conducted a live poll with a multiple-choice question for all Boston fans to choose.
What do you think of Lin Long's performance in this brawl?
Do you support his impulsive behavior as a team leader that led to a suspension?
Generally speaking, this kind of voting is easy to cause problems. Once the results of the fans' voting are not so good, the star of the team will be in a bad mood and affect the playing state.
In severe cases, the team and the fans have become estranged since then, and even left directly.
The most intuitive example is that when O'Neal renewed his contract two years ago, the Orlando Sentinel initiated the vote on "whether O'Neal should be offered a maximum salary". More than 40% of Orlando fans believed that O'Neal was not worthy of a maximum salary.
This directly broke O'Neal's heart and made him go to Los Angeles without hesitation in the summer to join the Lakers. Therefore, after knowing that the Boston Times had made such a thing, the entire Celtics management was in a state of rage. Bach even wanted people to go straight to their newspaper headquarters with gasoline!
Who the hell knows if there are any dumb idiots in Boston.
