Legend Raiders

Chapter 156

Back on the court in the second half, the Rockets were like raging waves, not giving the Celtics any chance at all, and everyone was making due contributions to the team.

Especially Harden.

During the entire third quarter, it was as if the god-killing mode had been activated. No matter whether it was Courtney Lee or the veteran Jason Terry, no one could stop him.

At the end of this quarter, the Rockets, with their crazy offense and defense like a mad dog, completely defeated the game with a score of 37:19.

In the last quarter, the Rockets' offense continued unabated, vowing to completely crush the Celtics.

finally.

When the game completely entered garbage time, the Celtics announced their collapse early, and the Rockets won the victory fiercely with a [-]-point difference.

after the game.

In the media hall of the Rockets, a large number of reporters have been waiting for a long time.

As Harden and McHale entered the venue, there was an uproar in the audience.

Honestly.

The sudden conflict made this game quite topical.

After all, since Auburn Hills in 04, fights of this nature have basically not happened for a long time.

Then the reporters began to ask questions, one can imagine how popular it was.

But as the team's coach and team core, Harden and McHale's remarks once again made this topic more topical.

A reporter asked a question.

What do Harden and McHale think about the conflict in this game.

The two of them were very straightforward, expressing their support for Qin Tao to everyone in a tactful but firm tone.

and.

When all the reporters were excited, Harden paid the fine for Qin Tao, and McHale would never hide Qin Tao's remarks, which detonated their adrenaline at that time.

Make sense.

These words, while expressing their support for Qin Tao, are undoubtedly a straightforward provocation to the alliance.

To know.

They can say these words in private, but according to the league's regulations, they absolutely cannot say such things in public.

so.

The press conference after the game completely pushed the Rockets to the forefront. As long as the league wants to, the team will encounter a lot of trouble.

of course.

Harden and McHale are just expressing their support for Qin Tao. As for how the league will punish him afterwards, that is another matter.

But Qin Tao in the locker room once again received comfort and support from his teammates.

When Harden and McHale came back, everyone did not leave, but waited for the team's attitude on this matter.

Here comes Daryl Morey.

His unchanging smile remained the same, and when he entered the locker room, he said concisely and very simply: "The team has already made a decision regarding Qin Tao."

Qin Tao's heart tightened subconsciously, if he chose to hide him in the end, it would be a great loss and helplessness.

And Morey didn't make them wait for a long time, he shook his head amusedly, and said, "After discussing with us, Leslie and we unanimously decided to bear all the consequences this time, so..."

Long live! !
Cheers sounded from the locker room in an instant, and everyone understood what he wanted to express.

Make sense.

The centripetal force of a team is often best reflected in some small things, and even some big things.

Although this is a league that is so commercial that it despises loyalty, no one doesn't want their actions to be supported by the team.

This is an attitude, but also a manifestation of cohesion.

The next morning.

All the players of the Rockets came to the training hall spontaneously. They did not engage in training, but waited for the commissioner sent by the league to Houston to finally give a characterization of this matter.

As the protagonist of this conflict, Qin Tao was even more nervous.

If because of this incident, the alliance wants to catch a model, then he does have a model for killing chickens and monkeys.

A tense and depressing atmosphere quietly spread in the training hall.

The league's decision will give them a benchmark, and it will give them a warning of the consequences of doing so.

coming.

As the door of the training hall was pushed open, accompanied by Darrell Morey, two middle-aged men who were meticulously dressed and gave a sense of seriousness appeared in front of everyone with serious eyes.

"Gentlemen, these two are the commissioners of the league, Chris George and Vidal Lynch, and they will announce the final punishment of this conflict."

Darrell Morey introduced to the players indifferently, glanced at Qin Tao intentionally or unintentionally, and nodded slightly on his forehead.

huh~~
After observing the words and expressions, Qin Tao subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that punishment is inevitable, but judging from Morey's actions, it seems to be within an acceptable range.

really.

I saw that the special commissioner named Chris George didn't talk too much nonsense, he just introduced himself to others, and then asked his companion for a briefcase, and took out a document very formally.

look at them.

Everyone was silent, silently waiting for the final result of punishment.

Chris George glanced at the players one by one, shook his head slightly, and said: "Regarding this conflict, after discussion with the league management, the following punishments have been specially made."

"The protagonists of the conflict, Qin Tao and Kevin Garnett, will each receive a $[-] fine."

Harden and the others immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Relatively speaking, the amount of this fine is really surprising.

After all, in their impression, apart from the inappropriate remarks about the boss, fines for players in recent years have not been so high.

and.

If the Auburn Hills incident was used as a reference, Qin Tao and Garnett did not have to bear such a huge amount at all, but used suspensions to give them amazing losses.

To know.

The participants headed by Mercy World Peace and Martial God Jackson back then, although only fined hundreds of dollars, the millions of dollars brought by the suspension was the most painful thing for everyone.

nowadays.

They only mentioned the amount of the fine, but did not mention the content of the suspension. It can be seen how much the league attaches importance to them this time.

but.

From another perspective, it may also be beneficial to directly announce the amount of fines.

We can think so.

Since the league has imposed such a huge fine, even if there is a suspension, it will not be too long.

After figuring out some things, the expressions of the Rockets players relaxed somewhat.

And the special commissioner seemed to dislike their reaction very much, and then announced a news that stunned everyone.

"In view of the unfavorable teaching of the words and deeds of the two teams against the players, which has damaged the image of the league in the public, after discussion by the league management, a fine of 15 US dollars is hereby imposed on the Rockets and the Celtics!"

Water? ?
Harden and the others stared wide-eyed, and everyone was shocked.

This is the first time in the history of the NBA that teaching is not good.

It may not be the first time if you delve into it, but since entering the 21st century, with the Auburn Hills incident as a prefix, the punishment of the two teams is the first time in the league.

however.

What they didn't expect was yet to come, and Qin Tao experienced the rigor and efficiency of the American judiciary.
