NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 250

For this matter, Liu Rui never thought about turning the big thing into a small one.

Regardless of whether Thomas of the 76ers did it intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Rui must stand up and say something.

Because once the Bobcats do nothing about this matter.

That will only make the competitors more rampant in the next playoff competition.

Liu Rui knows that it is 2005, and the league is still in an era of serious physical contact.

The survival rule of the NBA has always been the law of the jungle.

In order to make the team go further, there will always be some despicable teams that use some indecent means to intentionally hurt players in order to achieve their own goals.

Liu Rui no longer wants to think about the series between the Suns and the Spurs.

At present, he only wanted to vent his anger on behalf of his disciple Sampson.

After Liu Rui came back from his rebirth, he has always adhered to the concept of happy basketball.

And have done their best to protect the health of the players.

Usually in the game, I will also warn the players many times that health comes first and games come second.

But sometimes, even though you've done a good job, someone will jump out and do something infuriating.

The reason why Liu Rui was so angry about Sampson's injury was also because Liu Rui remembered some things from his previous life.

In the playoffs of the 14-15 season, in a game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, when Love and Olynyk were fighting for rebounds under the basket, Olynyk grabbed Love's arm tightly, causing Love to exert force, and then his arm dislocated.

The end result was that Love was reimbursed for the season.

What had a chain reaction was that in the finals of that year, the Cavaliers, who lacked Irving and Love, had no choice but to face being out in the end.

.........

In the post-match press conference:
Reporter: "Coach Liu Rui, in this game, you had a very fierce quarrel with the referee, which also led to your expulsion from the game."

"We know that it is also because your player Sampson is facing injuries in this game, but should you give some explanations for your overreaction on the court?"

Liu Rui can be said to be one of the most popular head coaches in the league.

This game is also the second time Liu Rui has been expelled this season.

And last time, there was a big news.

Therefore, the reporters will certainly not miss this interview opportunity.

Liu Rui: "First of all, I am very sad about Sampson's injury. He is a very hardworking player, and this injury may have a great impact on him."

"I feel ashamed of Thomas' behavior. This is a basketball game, not an arena. I don't think this kind of behavior should appear in the game at all."

"I hope the league pays attention to this incident, even though every team is currently working hard for the playoffs, so in the game, it is inevitable that there will be some overreactions."

"However, if this behavior is not stopped, I think I know what to do next."

"If there are a lot of malicious fouls like this in the game, if every team is facing this kind of injury, then I don't know if this kind of game will be what the league wants to see."

"Just imagine, if the two teams have worked so hard to reach the finals, and finally on the court, they can't even make up the healthy roster of eight people. Isn't this a very interesting thing?!"

In the face of the media's interview, Liu Rui also made a big deal out of this matter.

Liu Rui didn't say it clearly, but said to the league in a disguised form that if you don't prohibit this kind of behavior, then the next team competing for the playoffs will start to follow suit, and the Bobcats will definitely be one of them.

If the league is not responsible for this incident, once someone really starts to follow suit, as Liu Rui said, it will become difficult for both sides to get a healthy roster in the finals.

The ratings of the finals are probably terrible.

So Liu Rui, who came back from his previous life and was familiar with the style of the alliance, directly threw out this sentence.

I believe that after this remark goes out, it is absolutely impossible for the alliance to sit idly by.

Although Sampson's injury will not get better no matter what the alliance's final decision is, Liu Rui must express his anger.

The most important point is that Liu Rui doesn't want to hurt any player in the league, but if he wants to, then he definitely has the ability.

As the competition for spots in the playoffs intensifies, Liu Rui is also seeking attention from the league through this method.

Then, teams that want to make small moves in the future must consider whether the consequences of being caught by the league in this turmoil are acceptable to the team.

Liu Rui explained how his players protect themselves. As for other teams, since they have not been taught, Liu Rui will find a way to force the league to teach them once.

As for Thomas of the 76ers, Liu Rui never planned to punish him officially.

After all, this kind of punishment is at most some suspensions and fines, which are really not worth mentioning in Liu Rui's view.

Liu Rui is not a bad person, otherwise if he wants to ruin a player's career, it would not be difficult for him.

But he has never been a good person. When his disciple faced such a malicious foul, Liu Rui would never swallow his anger.

Otherwise, Pachulia would not have been traded by name at that time.

Before the end of this season, the two teams still have a chance to play against each other, so Liu Rui is also looking forward to the next match...

After this news interview was released, it caused an uproar in the entire league.

Especially fans in Charlotte, left messages on the NBA's official website to protest.

And said that if the league does not give the team a satisfactory answer.

Then the fans have to use their own methods to vent their anger on their team.

At this time, Stern, who was far away in the New York headquarters, felt that one head and two big.

For Stern, who has witnessed the ancient times, in fact, this level of physical contact is not too much.

But the consequences this time were indeed somewhat serious, directly causing Sampson's arm to be dislocated.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sampson to face a comeback before the playoffs.

For this kind of malicious foul, the league certainly has its own punishment standards.

However, for yesterday's interview with Liu Rui, Stern also watched it from the beginning.

At first, Stern felt that Liu Rui was digging a hole for himself.

But after careful consideration, I found that Liu Rui's words also made sense.

Although with the promulgation of the new rules, the actions of players in the league have been greatly restrained, but in this kind of playoff competition, there will definitely be teams that will take another risk.

After all, dogs can't change eating shit.

Except in special circumstances where the league wants one team to win, the league certainly wants teams to play fairly.

Because only in this way can the ratings of the game be greatly improved.

If the main players of each team face injuries and end up playing with a bunch of substitute players, what are the audiences watching? !

So regarding Liu Rui's words, Stern rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought...
