NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

Chapter 233: Knocked out Gary Payton with one punch and was suspended for three games!The Lakers are in crisis in the second round!
For the Sonics, the result cannot be changed. They are destined to be swept by the Lakers.

But Gary Payton was unwilling to accept this cruel fact. They were No. [-] in the Western Conference, and they were directly swept by the Lakers?

Head coach George Karl had the same idea as Gary Payton. He knew that the team's outcome of being swept could not be changed, but he was unwilling to see the Lakers enter the second round so easily.

Therefore, George Karl decided to make Ye Qingchen pay the due price. Only in this way would he feel better inside.

In this world, the only ones who wish you well are your parents and children. Apart from that, no one really wishes you well unless they are bound by interests.

As the opponents of the Lakers, the SuperSonics would definitely not want to see the Lakers go smoothly after they were swept by the Lakers.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen had already made a three-pointer against Gary Payton's defense. He had already planned to clock out after hitting the three-pointer.

Of course Ye Qingchen ignored Gary Payton's defense because he couldn't interfere with his shot at all.

Ye Qingchen actually had no defense against Gary Payton, after all, his opponents had already been eliminated, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But the moment after Ye Qingchen took action, he realized that things were not as simple as he imagined. Gary Payton was not aiming for his shot. He actually stretched out his left foot and landed towards him. The place stretched out!
Gary Payton realized that this defense was just a cover, and was actually meant to step on Ye Qingchen!
You know, on the basketball court, the behavior of stepping on the foot is quite bad. Once the behavior of stepping on the foot is adopted, the player whose foot is stepped on has a very high risk of injury, ranging from a sprained foot to a fracture or bone fracture!
The league's punishment for this kind of behavior is also quite severe. As long as it is really a stepping stone, it will be severely punished.

Even so, this kind of bad defensive behavior is still banned repeatedly, and it often appears in key games.

Now Gary Payton did this to Ye Qingchen, and Ye Qingchen was also careless. By the time he discovered it, it was too late to make defensive moves.

Therefore, after Ye Qingchen finished shooting, he really stepped on Gary Payton's left foot. Ye Qingchen's left ankle instantly turned ninety degrees, and he felt a violent The pain came from my ankle!

Although Ye Qingchen's physical strength is quite terrifying and his physical resistance is also very good, it does not mean that he is really made of steel, especially a fragile part like the ankle, which will still be injured after being stepped on.

The only good thing was that after Ye Qingchen discovered that Gary Payton was stepping on him at the last moment, he forcibly shifted his center of gravity and sat back, taking off part of his weight.

Therefore, although Ye Qingchen felt severe pain in his ankle, he had a premonition that the bones in his ankle were not fractured, but at most a sprain, and the impact would not be particularly great.

When Ye Qingchen fell, the referee had clearly seen Gary Payton's behavior and decisively whistled him for a defensive foul.

After Gary Payton successfully stepped on Ye Qingchen, he felt the pleasure of revenge in his heart, but his face still looked very aggrieved, and he complained loudly to the referee:

"How could this be a foul on my part???"

Ye Qingchen, who was lying on the ground, heard Gary Payton's complaints clearly and was instantly furious. Although his left foot was sprained, his right foot was still intact!
Under this situation, if I don't take action, I will really dishonor my reputation as a villain in the alliance!
In just an instant, Ye Qingchen stood up from the ground relying on the strength of his right foot, and then appeared in front of Gary Payton.

Gary Payton here had just finished complaining to the referee, and before he could mentally prepare himself, he saw Ye Qingchen standing in front of him.

Caught off guard, Gary Payton was still startled by Ye Qingchen's sudden appearance this time, and he instinctively took a step back.

But even if he took a step back, he still couldn't widen the distance between himself and Ye Qingchen.

Before he could say anything, a clay pot-sized fist appeared in front of him, and then his face collided with the fist.

Pain, pain, pain!
Gary Payton's impression of this punch was just that, because after he was hit by Ye Qingchen's punch, he lost consciousness and fell back heavily without any sloppiness.

The referee was right in front of Ye Qingchen and Gary Payton. They clearly saw Ye Qingchen's punch, and the referee was stunned.

Ye Qingchen's punch came too suddenly, giving them no chance to stop him.

After Ye Qingchen knocked Gary Payton to the ground with one punch, he slowly turned his head to look at the referee and said calmly:

"You can call me a foul, but I hope you will watch the replay and see what he did to me before you say anything!"

Although Ye Qingchen's words were plain in tone, to the referee's ears, they sounded full of accusation.

After all, the referee was frightened by Ye Qingchen's aura. In the end, he just stopped the game, gave Ye Qingchen a technical foul, and then went back to the technical station to watch the video replay.

You know, once this kind of fight occurs, the person who does it will definitely be expelled from the field as soon as possible. There is no room for negotiation.

But this time, the referee broke this rule. They chose to follow Ye Qingchen's suggestion and watch the video replay first.

The Lakers fans at the scene were directly incited by Ye Qingchen's passionate behavior, and they all shouted Ye Qingchen's name crazily.

At the same time, the scene of Gary Payton defending Ye Qingchen's footstep appeared on the big screen at the scene!
Gary Payton's stepping behavior was clearly displayed in front of everyone, and now everyone understood the reason for Ye Qingchen's action.

The Lakers fans at the scene even loudly and wildly abused Gary Payton. Some excited fans wanted to rush down from the audience and beat up Gary Payton.

At this moment, the referee standing in front of the technical stage finally understood the meaning of Ye Qingchen's words. It turns out that everything happens for a reason.

This Gary Payton really stepped on Ye Qingchen. This behavior was quite bad.

All of a sudden, the referee was caught in a tangle, how to punish Ye Qingchen and Gary Payton this time?

After Ye Qingchen here threw a violent punch, he was already limping towards the bench.

His teammates also came over to help him immediately. All Lakers players were furious and strongly condemned Gary Payton's behavior.

SuperSonics head coach George Karl, on the other hand, has been attacking the referees. He believes that Ye Qingchen's behavior is the worst. He beats people when he disagrees with him. It is simply lawless.

The pressure on the referee was also very high. After careful consideration, he still chose to expel Ye Qingchen. At the same time, he also upgraded Gary Payton's foul and received the same treatment of expulsion.

As soon as Ye Qingchen was ejected, the Lakers fans at the scene immediately gave up. They cursed loudly at the referee angrily, and some fans even wanted to rush down and use force on the referee.On the contrary, Ye Qingchen has always maintained a rational attitude. When he came off the field, he comforted the fans and asked them to calm down. He also made a victory gesture to the fans to tell them that the victory was still going on. .

Ye Qingchen's appeal was astonishing. After he came to comfort him, the fans' mood immediately calmed down, and the entire stadium instantly became much quieter.

The commentator at the scene said with emotion when he saw this scene:

"No one can talk, but they will listen to what Ye says!"

"This is the appeal of a superstar!"

"I just don't know how serious Ye's injury is. Gary's stepping-down behavior this time really needs to be condemned. It's too much!"

"I don't know if the shadow will affect his next game."

The commentator's words made Lakers fans become worried again. Now, although the first round is over, the Lakers have advanced.

But in the second round, the Lakers will face the embarrassing situation of an uneven lineup, which is not good news for the Lakers.

Ye Qingchen limped back to the locker room with the support of his teammates, and the team doctor immediately checked his condition.

Everyone in the Lakers team was very nervous and concerned about Ye Qingchen's injury. Even team owner Buss appeared in the Lakers locker room at this time and asked about Ye Qingchen's injury.

Regarding the arrival of team owner Bass, Ye Qingchen joked with a relaxed look:
"Boss, you shouldn't worry about my injury. You should worry about how long I will be suspended this time!"

Ye Qingchen's words made Bass look helpless:

"If the league wants to suspend you, there's nothing I can do about it, but I can still play some role in dealing with your injury."

Bass did not blame Ye Qingchen for his impulsive behavior just now:
"Your punch just now was really quite a relief. If it were me, I would definitely swing this punch. It was really beautiful. The only difference is that I might not be able to punch Gary KO!”

Buss's words made the Lakers locker room burst into laughter, and the team's atmosphere instantly became better.

After the team doctor briefly checked Ye Qingchen's ankle, he said with a slightly relaxed brow:

"Ye's injury can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes. It seems that there is no problem with the bones. He will recover after a week or two of rest!"

"However, the details will not be finalized until detailed inspections are completed!"

The team doctor’s diagnosis finally relieved Bass’s nervousness:

"That's good, then I can still play in the next game!"

Ye Qingchen frowned, turned his ankle, nodded and said:
"It's not a big problem, the champion can't escape my Wuzhishan!"

Ye Qingchen's confident words made the locker room burst into warm cheers again.
After this game, the Lakers also became the first team in the Western Conference to advance to the second round. Their opponents will be between the Warriors and Suns.

At the same time, after the series ended, fans also had a heated discussion about Ye Qingchen's beating. Some people supported Ye Qingchen's indefinite ban, while others believed that Ye Qingchen's behavior was human nature. , should not be banned.

The league management finally made this penalty decision after listening to suggestions from many parties and taking into account public opinion:
Gary Payton's bad behavior in stepping on the ball was additional punishment, and he was fined US$1 and suspended for five games in the new season;
Ye Qingchen's behavior of hitting someone was quite bad. He was fined an additional US$2 and suspended for three games.

As soon as this penalty came out, the Lakers quit.

From the Lakers' point of view, the decision to suspend Ye Qingchen for three games is simply pushing the Lakers into the fire pit.

Everyone knows that without Ye Qingchen, the Lakers' combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. In addition, both Ewing and Olajuwon are more or less injured. In the first three games of the second round, If Ye Qingchen is missing, how can we fight?

However, the league rejected the Lakers' protest. The reason was that Ye Qingchen's beating of people was broadcast live across the United States, and the impact was very bad. Three games was considered a light punishment, and there was no possibility of any further concessions.

This result made the fans and management of the Lakers feel very angry and anxious. If Ye Qingchen can't play in the first three games, how can this series be played?

The league's additional penalty on Ye Qingchen made the Warriors and the Suns very excited. They both wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to advance to the second round and quickly win the first three games.

After all, without Ye Qingchen, the Lakers still had great confidence in defeating them.

It was precisely because of the appearance of this additional penalty that the series between the Warriors and the Suns went directly to the tiebreaker, and the tiebreaker also went to overtime.

It can be said that among the first round games in the Western Conference, the series between the Warriors and the Suns is the most exciting, because the two sides are close in strength, and the scores in each game are quite close.

Regardless of strength, this kind of game is more enjoyable to watch. Even Ye Qingchen is watching this series with great interest.

The final result was that the Warriors were slightly better. They defeated the Suns in overtime in the tiebreaker and entered the second round of the Western Conference. They will have a direct dialogue with the Lakers.

Because Ye Qingchen was suspended for three games, the Warriors were generally optimistic about this series. Most fans believed that the Warriors would end the battle in six games and enter the Western Conference Finals.

Another matchup in the second round of the Western Conference is the San Antonio Spurs VS Utah Jazz. It is also a series of comparable strength, and fans are also looking forward to it.

As for the Eastern side, relatively speaking, there is no suspense. The Bulls easily swept the Heat 3:0, and then they will play against the Pacers. The Magic easily defeated the Nets and will play against the Hornets.
