Chapter 50 Suspension
After returning to the locker room, Du Zhe took a brief shower and then sat silently in his seat, waiting for the end of the game.

Now that he has made up his mind, he will not regret what he has done and is ready to pay the price for his actions.

According to the league's regulations, his actions will definitely be judged as dangerous behavior. Although he has been expelled from the game, subsequent additional punishments are definitely inevitable.

As for how long the suspension lasts, it depends on the ruling of the league.

However, Du Zhe compared the punishment results of Artest's elbow to Harden in his previous life, and estimated that his suspension should not exceed seven games.

After all, Artest's elbow hit occurred when the ball was completely dead. Although he later explained that elbowing Harden was an unconscious act he made in a state of extreme excitement, the league obviously would not listen to his excuse. , he was still suspended for seven games afterwards.

Although Du Zhe's situation appears to be more tragic than Artest's at first glance, at least on the surface there is room for explanation. After all, the two were competing for rebounds at the time, and their movements were not small.

Therefore, he estimated that the league's punishment against him should not be more severe than Artest's.

However, just when he took a shower and returned to the locker room, the system that had been silent for a few days suddenly issued a prompt again.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission and unlocking the aura - Stadium Villain!"

"Bad Guy" - can only be unlocked by committing a serious flagrant foul against a player with the highest reputation and ability in the league.

Halo effect - can automatically release pressure on players within the coverage of the halo, making them fear you.

Du Zhe was taken aback by the sudden reward offered by the system.

Then I couldn't help but complain that the system is really petty, and there are so-called hidden tasks.

And this mission reward seems to be a passive skill, as long as he appears on the stage, it can automatically take effect.

What is the effect of unleashing coercion on other players?

Du Zhe originally had doubts about this match, but now his attention has been completely attracted by the new skills he has acquired.

Could it be that as soon as I appear on the stage, my opponent will be frightened and tremble, unable to even stand?
If this is the case, then the other players are playing dumb,

When Du Zhe thought about it carefully, it was unlikely. He estimated that the effect of this skill would be to make opponents dare not make any excessive foul moves against him.

While Du Zhe was thinking, other players who had finished the game began to return to the locker room in twos and threes.

"Du!" The players who came back first greeted Du Zhe.

Now not only the young players, but also the old players in the team are beginning to re-examine this young man.

They discovered that although this Chinese boy was usually jovial and looked like a good old man, once he got angry, he was really ruthless and steady in his attacks.

"Lao Ma, what was the team's final score?" Seeing Maggette walking over, Du Zhe casually asked about the result of the game.

In fact, you don't need to ask to know that he was already 20 points behind when he left the game, and the possibility of a comeback can be said to be slim.

"It's okay, we only lost by less than thirty points." Maggette's tone was slightly self-deprecating.

"But your kid was really ruthless. If Jackson was still here, he would probably have something in common with you." Maggette's tone was slightly teasing, and it was obvious that Du Zhe's attack also made him feel annoyed. .

"If Jackson was still here, things might not have reached this point." After today's battle, Du Zhe realized that having a player with a bad reputation on the team is still useful.

When Du Zhe and Maggette were communicating in the locker room, the team coach Nelson was surrounded by the media with long guns and short guns outside.

The focus of the reporters' attention is naturally Du Zhe's fierce foul of elbowing Kobe in the fourth quarter.

In the face of reporters' questions, Old Nelson resolutely defended his own soldiers.

He repeatedly emphasized that "Du Zhe is definitely not a player who intentionally hurts people."

"This incident is just a regrettable accident that happened in the fierce confrontation between the two teams"

The impatient old man who was asked at the end just said "Bryant did it too" coldly, and left the scene straight away.

…………

The next day, the head coach's office.

Du Zhe stood aside and listened to Nelson announcing the league's punishment results.

The final penalty of the league is that Du Zhe did have actions beyond the scope of the game in the last game. These actions caused serious injury to the player's body and were ruled as second-level malicious fouls.

In the end, the league suspended Du Zhe for five games and imposed a fine of $[-].

In order to express its attitude, the club also issued a statement at random, giving a stern report on Du Zhe's behavior.

Of course, these are only for others to see. Apart from this harshly worded notice, the team did not impose any additional substantive punishment on Du Zhe.

Du Zhe can still accept the result of being suspended for five games. After all, it was within his expectations.

It's just a fine of [-] knives, but it really hurts him a bit.

After all, the endorsement fees he received from Jiesbon this summer have basically been put into the system.

And his basic salary contract for this year is only 30 million yuan, and he has to pay these wages in installments. The money he has received so far is actually not much.

Seeing Du Zhe's troubled expression, Old Nelson seemed to be prepared and threw a thick envelope directly over.

"Boy, take it and pay the fine! Remember, I lent it to you. If you sign a big contract next year, you must return it to me with interest."

Nelson has been involved in the NBA since he was a player. In recent years, his coaching contracts have been worth millions in annual salary. When he was with the Mavericks, he even served as the head coach and general manager, so he is naturally wealthy.

However, Du Zhe had mixed feelings about being rewarded with kindness for a thousand years, and Old Nelson's help in times of need.

He wanted to say something grateful to Nelson, but found that his English ability was really limited. In addition to ensuring normal competition and communication, he focused most of his skills on trash talk.

For a moment, Du Zhe, who was at a loss for words, tangled up, but was interrupted roughly by Old Nelson.

"Okay boy, go back to training!"

"I've already made an agreement with the trainer that you can't rest during these few days of suspension. If you dare to be lazy and look back, I will break your legs!"

However, Nelson's worries were completely unnecessary. Du Zhe also wanted to take advantage of the few days of suspension to achieve further breakthroughs.

After all, the team's recent record is mediocre, and Du Zhe can't get many system points even with Du Zhe. As for the bonus reward after winning streak, don't even think about it.

After returning to the training hall, Du Zhe's daily training officially began.

His suspension won't be officially lifted until Dec. 12 at the Brooklyn Nets.

Since the team will not have a game until the next day, Du Zhe will still conduct regular training with the team today.

Only after regular training is over, can he ask the team trainer to train on strong three-pointers.

From the start of the game to the present, his strong three-point shooting ability has only reached 67 points. It can be said that the progress is not fast.

"Hey brother, if you get closer, you have to stick to the defense to be effective." After shooting a few three-pointers, Du Zhe was not satisfied with the trainer's defensive attitude, so he asked the opponent to fight more.

"Oh...Okay." Although the trainer agreed, his movements were still a little restrained for the next defense.

This kind of defensive strength naturally did not satisfy Du Zhe, he stopped and patiently demonstrated to the opponent: "Brother, you have to do this, only face-to-face defense will be effective."

Seeing the trainer nodding hesitantly, Du Zhe was a little confused.

He couldn't help but feel curious: "What happened to this guy today?"

After all, the two of them often did similar training before. At that time, this guy was not as timid as he was.

Under Du Zhe's continuous demonstration and urging, the trainer slowly let go of his hands and feet, and finally put the training on the right track.

It's just that although the Warriors trainer is calm on the surface, there is always an indescribable sense of disobedience in his heart.

When he faced the young player Du Zhe on the court, he always felt involuntarily afraid, and his movements became extremely stiff.

This kind of fear is like a prey facing a natural enemy, it goes deep into the bone marrow and is unforgettable.

And this feeling obviously didn't exist a few days ago.

It's just that neither Du Zhe nor the trainer knew that this was actually Du Zhe's "court villain" aura working in secret.

Due to the fact that there is no detailed introduction in the system, Du Zhe actually doesn't know much about the actual effect of the "court villain" halo.

In fact, after the "court villain" releases his pressure, the effect produced is closely related to the strength of the opponent's players. The weaker the opponent's strength, the stronger the effect of the pressure.

With Du Zhe's current ability value of 78 points, if the opponent on the court is an All-Star level or even a top superstar level player, then the pressure released by the "court villain" will at most make the opponent feel a little awkward, but it will not Obviously affect the opponent's performance.

Once Du Zhe's strength exceeds that of his opponent, the effect of this halo will be doubled.

Although these trainers are all from serious professional backgrounds, their strength is far different from that of NBA players. At this time, the effect of halo is extremely terrifying.

If it weren't for Du Zhe's repeated encouragement, under the suppression of the halo, a trainer of this level would not even be able to perform normal defensive actions, let alone confront him head-on.

It can be said that the aura of "court villain" is a serious cooking skill. Although the effect may not be obvious to Du Zhe now, its power will become more abnormal as he becomes stronger step by step.

…………

On November 11, Du Zhe missed the first game, and the Warriors faced the challenge of the Indiana Pacers at home.

Before the game, the Pacers' record was 6 wins and 8 losses, and the overall score was less than [-]%, which can be said to be not outstanding.

The boss of the team is Danny Granger, the No. 05 pick in 17. This is a new generation of team leaders trained by the Pacers after the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

At this time, Granger was at his personal peak, and he was considered an excellent forward with solid defense and reliable scoring.

Despite this, the overall strength of the Pacers is still a bit lacking at the moment. Even in the Eastern Conference, which is not very competitive, the team has not tasted the playoffs for several consecutive seasons.

Facing this opponent, Warriors guard Monta Ellis was on full fire in this game, scoring a personal high of 27 points with an efficient performance of 15 of 45 shots.

In addition, two undrafted players, Morrow and Watson, also scored 18 points each, tying for second place on the team in scoring.

The Warriors, who finally played at home, fell behind in the first half and put on an astonishing offensive performance in the second half. Finally, relying on their strong firepower of 75 points in the half, they successfully achieved a comeback with a score of 126:107.

After this battle, the team finally stopped losing to the Spurs and the Lakers, and temporarily ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 10 wins and 6 losses.

Although this game was a big victory, some people with ulterior motives began to post online to exploit the topic.

Arguments such as "Let a dirty player like Du Zhe get out of the Warriors", "Du Zhe's style of play hurts the team", "the Warriors without Du Zhe are the real Warriors" began to appear inexplicably.

Although the vast majority of sane fans scoff at such remarks, there are still some deceived fans who ran to the following post to echo.

For a time, there seemed to be an undercurrent of public opinion against Du Zhe on the Internet and among fans.

But will this kind of remarks affect Du Zhe?The answer is of course not at all.

Now, after experiencing so many turmoil, he has realized that the NBA is a place where winners and losers take all.

After all, history is written by the victors. As long as you can crush one opponent after another, those doubts about you will naturally disappear.

Playing ball dirty?If you're on a bottom-tier team, they're just going to say this dirty, despicable player should be out of the league.

What if you play for a team on the fringes of the playoffs?He probably became a notorious stadium villain and heinous.

And when you become a regular in the playoffs, your reputation is likely to become - a fierce team player worthy of attention.

Of course, if you can lead the team to attack the championship, then they will only respect you as a tough guy with old-school style who is writing a legend.

In the end, if you really win one championship after another and stand behind the pinnacle of the NBA, then everything before that is not worth mentioning. When it comes to you, everyone will only express reverence—the great God has come In his faithful NBA.

As for another god, Michael Jordan?Everyone will only say that compared with you, this is just a false god.

And Du Zhe also has a clear understanding of himself. He has no shortcomings now, the only shortcoming is that he is not strong enough.

What he has to do now is to take one step at a time and defeat one opponent after another standing in front of him.

Today's Du Zhe wants to practice something different, after all, it is necessary to intersperse some other exercises occasionally as adjustments in the boring practice.
