Chapter 367 Good people are pointed at guns
"Your ankle injury must be treated with care, and the team is not under the pressure of record now, you can wait until you fully recover before returning." Zhang Yu explained.

"However, Elliott said that I only need to rest for about 10 days at most, and I don't have to wait as long as two weeks..." Curry said puzzled.

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows:
"I said two weeks, that's two weeks, it's not negotiable!"

"Uh, well..." Curry said bitterly.

Seeing Curry's sullen look, Zhang Yu couldn't help but soften his tone:
"Stephen, you have to know that you are the cornerstone of the team, and I will never allow you to risk your body. And we are now 4 games ahead of the Thunder. Even if you don't play for two weeks, the team record It won't be affected too much."

Under Zhang Yu's persuasion, Curry could only agree.

Seeing his reluctance, Zhang Yu felt a burst of relief in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Curry was injured and fell to the ground, Zhang Yu's heart immediately hung up, his hands were trembling all the time, his lips were trembling, and there was only one thought in his mind, which was "it's over, it's over"!
Curry's ankle injury is a lingering nightmare in Zhang Yu's heart. In his previous life, Curry was troubled by repeated ankle injuries from the third season of his career. He scored 26 goals in 5 games. He sprained his ankle once, and in the end he almost had the doctor replace him with a dead man's tendon.

Although in the end Curry overcame his ankle injury with outstanding perseverance and returned to the game, repeated torture and forced changes in the way he exerted force greatly affected his athletic ability. Since then, Curry On the court, he seldom makes a large change of direction in front of his body, and can only use small steps + rhythm changes to surpass others.

If Wade gave up a meniscus, then Curry gave up a right ankle. Although they both became historical superstars and stood on the top of the NBA in the end, they never reached their peak in full health. , This is the regret of the NBA and the regret of all fans.

Zhang Yu asked Curry to take the initiative to change the way of exerting force in the NCAA, just to avoid the recurrence of his ankle injury, but Curry was actively stepped on by Garnett, which made Zhang Yu's eyes tearing at Garnett. Immediately instructing Green to abolish Garnett, he relieved his anger.

Fortunately, Curry relieved his strength ahead of time. It was just a simple sprain, which was fine. But just to be on the safe side, Zhang Yu still planned to let Curry rest for two weeks. He must let his sprained ankle fully recover before returning to the court. .

……

After persuading Curry, Zhang Yu took Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian and Parsons to participate in the post-match interview.

They rarely have the opportunity to participate in post-game interviews. In the past, this was the "privilege" of the main players, usually Curry and one or two other teammates who performed well on the spot.

However, they are obviously not the focus of the reporters. The reporters all pointed their finger at Zhang Yu, and the questions they asked mainly focused on the injuries of Curry and Garnett, and the expulsion of Butler and Rondo. superior.

As the head coach of the losing team, Rivers had already accepted an interview before. He felt very "sad" about Curry's injury and prayed that this "accident" would not happen again on the court in the future. He was very angry about Te's behavior and criticized this kind of revenge, thinking that the league should strictly investigate Green's behavior and impose the most severe punishment on him.

As for the expulsion of Butler and Rondo, Rivers believes that this cannot be generalized. Butler actually hit Garnett. The nature is very bad. The league should increase the punishment, and Rondo is at most a little emotional for a while, but there is no substance. When it comes to sex, one should be lenient.

The reporter told Zhang Yu exactly what Rivers had said, and Zhang Yu lived up to their expectations and responded positively.

He dug up what he had said in the face of Rivers before, saying that Garnett's injury, like Curry's injury, was an accident. Green never meant to step on his feet on purpose, and replaying the video is the best proof.

Unless Rivers thinks that Garnett is also intentional, there is no reason to accuse Green of his behavior, but Zhang Yu said that he believes in Garnett's character. Garnett is by no means the kind of sinister villain, and he hopes he can return to the court as soon as possible superior.

In the end, Zhang Yu said that both Butler and Rondo’s actions were wrong. In order to give young players a warning and prevent them from acting impulsively, he supports the league to punish them severely, and at least suspend them for a few games as an example. He will never ignore the facts and be biased just because Butler is a Warriors player.

……

"Did he really say that?" Rivers walked in the player tunnel with a livid face and asked his assistant coach Mike LongoBaradei.

Mike nodded and said:
"That's right, Coach Z said that the injuries of Kevin and Stephen Curry are one thing, they are both accidents; the actions of Rajon and Jimmy Butler are also the same thing, and it is suggested that the league increase the punishment and give other players in the league the same thing. A warning to young people..."

"It's just bullshit!" Rivers was furious, "Kevin and Stephen Curry were injured only one round apart, this is definitely the Warriors' revenge! Rajon didn't even touch that dirty Drummond .Green, why was he punished like Jimmy Butler! He just saw that our situation is not good, so he wants to drag us down!"

Mike sighed and nodded:

"That should be his purpose, but there's nothing we can do about it... You know, Doug, Kevin's actions are really questionable, and the replay is there, no matter what we say, it's very pale. And Rajon Both Jimmy Butler and Jimmy Butler have fought, regardless of whether they hit or not, the nature is very bad, and the league is likely to make the same treatment, and we are in a very passive position."

"Huh...huh..." Rivers panted heavily, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but he couldn't find a place to refute. He kicked the wall violently and cursed:
"Fack! Brian sent me a message just now, saying that Kevin's injury is not optimistic, and he will rest for at least a month, or even longer, and the Magic and the Knicks are watching behind us. Crucial, how are we going to get back to the top half of the playoffs if Rajon gets suspended for a few more games?! The bastard... what good does it do him to have Butler suspended?"

Mike spread his hands helplessly:
"Doug, the depth of the Warriors' lineup is much stronger than ours. As you can see, that Chandler Parsons is only a second-round pick. The performance is very versatile, not to mention that the Warriors still have Leonard available, he is someone who can match up with James... To be honest, the Warriors can withstand the absence of Butler, and Curry's injury is what gives the Warriors a headache .”

Rivers nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said:

"I don't know where the Warriors found so many high-quality strikers. If I give Leonard to me, I have the confidence to train him to be a top striker. As a result, the Chinese actually let a second-round pick replace Leonard. What a waste of money! But you're right, Curry is injured, and the Warriors will not have a better life!"

He paused and continued:

"Well, I will communicate with Danny when I go back, file a complaint with the league, and try to reduce the league's punishment on Rajon as much as possible. There are still two games to play against the Eagles. There is no room for loss in this game. Rajon will be suspended for three games at most. field, otherwise we will be very passive.”

Mike nodded and also suggested:

"Then after I go back, I will immediately formulate a defensive strategy without Kevin and Rajon."

"It can only be like this..." Rivers sighed, and then his eyes became dark, and he said in a hateful voice, "Ronan Zhang... next time I meet you, I will definitely make you look good!"

……

After the interview, Zhang Yu leisurely left the Oracle Center, started his Porsche 911, and drove out of the parking lot.

"Ding……"

At this moment, his mobile phone rang suddenly, Zhang Yu turned on the speakerphone and said:
"Hello, this is Ronan Zhang."

"Coach Z, hello, I'm Adam Silver."

Zhang Yu frowned when he heard the steady voice coming from the phone, slowed down the car, stopped on the side of the road, and picked up the phone:
"Mr. Xiao Hua, call me Ronan, what can you do for me?"

Xiao Hua said softly:
"Ronan, I have been paying attention to tonight's game between the Warriors and the Celtics. I also noticed some accidents in this game. How is Stephen's injury?"

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"After a preliminary examination, Stephen's ankle is not in good condition. He needs to rest for at least half a month, and may be absent for a month. Mr. Xiao Hua..."

"Adam, just call me Adam."

"Okay, Adam, you must know what Steph means to the Warriors. I hope you can punish Kevin Garnett for stepping. He seriously violated Steph's cylinder. This is not a danger that should appear on the basketball court. Move!" Zhang Yu said angrily.

"..."

The other end of the phone fell into a brief silence, and after a while, Xiao Hua said:

"Ronan, the league will carefully investigate the cause of Stephen's injury. If Kevin Garnett did it intentionally, he will be severely punished by the league. But, can you explain Draymond Green's behavior? He also It hurt Kevin Garnett."

Xiao Hua's tone was a little ups and downs, obviously he was going to question Zhang Yu why he sent Green to step on Garnett, but Zhang Yu accused Garnett of stepping on the other hand, isn't this self-inflicted?

Zhang Yu replied bluntly:

"Okay, if you think Drummond is stepping on purpose, then please suspend him. I support the league's decision."

"I know how you feel about protecting players, but did Drummond do it on purpose? The league needs to decide... What did you say? Do you support the league's suspension of Drummond Green?" Said confidently.

Zhang Yu nodded and said:
"Of course, I support any decision made by the league. There is only one request, and that is to treat Kevin Garnett and Drummond equally. There is no difference in their actions. If there is evidence that Drummond deliberately stepped, then please Punish Garnett together, and I'm very supportive of that."

"..." Xiao Hua was silent again.

He was able to make this call to Zhang Yu because he watched the replays of the two rounds. Green and Garnett's movements were almost identical. If it was judged that Green was stepping up, then Garnett would not be able to escape, and vice versa.

He organized the language and said:
"Ronan, since you are so clear, do you continue to complain to the league about Garnett stepping? This will affect Drummond."

Zhang Yu smiled lightly and said:
"It doesn't matter whether I appeal or not. The important thing is, will you judge Garnett and Drummond to step up?"

"...No." Xiao Hua was silent for the third time, and then slowly replied.

"That's it? It's impossible to appeal after the game to change the referee's penalty. The league doesn't care about Garnett's behavior, so I can only protect my players in my own way." Zhang Yu said.

Xiao Hua frowned tightly, and said:
"Ronan, please trust the league. The league will protect the legitimate rights and interests of players, especially a superstar like Stephen. He is the face of the league in the future. If Stephen is injured, the league will not sit idly by."

"Haha, the facade of the future?" Zhang Yu sneered, and said coldly, "Sorry, Adam, I don't pin my hopes on others, I only believe in an eye for an eye, and good people will be pointed at with guns. , a little boy who only cries at adults, if anyone dares to touch my players, I will make him pay in blood!"

If someone else said this sentence, Zhang Yu would still believe it, but Xiao Hua said so, Zhang Yu didn't believe a word!
Xiao Hua solemnly said:
"Ronan, you can't play the role of an arbiter, the alliance will deal with it fairly..."

"How to deal with it? Has Bruce Bowen been dealt with? Has Robert Hawley been dealt with? They all attacked the 'face of the league', only to be sent off, and Bruce Bowen has even been at large! This is Is it the 'fair handling' of the alliance?" Zhang Yu interrupted him with a sneer.

"..." Xiao Hua fell into silence again.

"Of course, I understand the difficulty of the alliance—" Zhang Yu softened his tone, "This kind of action is not easy to define, and it is difficult for referees to make accurate judgments in the blink of an eye. I can tolerate the opponent's rough actions, and even Tolerate the referee's whistling imbalance for a certain period of time, but I will never allow others to hurt my players! What I want is a fair playing environment. If someone thinks that the Warriors are a team composed of Chinese and young people, If he is easy to bully, I don't mind using actions to teach him how to play the game, whether he is an MVP or a superstar!"

Zhang Yu said it firmly, even through the phone, Xiao Hua could hear the determination in his words.

Xiao Hua must admit that he made a mistake. Although Stern reminded him, he never thought that Zhang Yu's character would be so strong, which is completely different from the humble impression of Huaxia people that Yao Ming gave him.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"I know, Ronan, the league will definitely handle this matter properly, but I don't want to see Draymond Green do this kind of thing on the court again. He did it too blatantly."

Zhang Yu said coldly:
"I promise you, as long as no one deliberately touches my players, Drummond will never attack others. You should know that I am fully capable of distinguishing between intentional injury and unintentional injury. I All I want is a fair playing environment!"
