Chapter 751 (1/2)
President David Stern knows that Guo Xu is likely to lose his post-season expenses. The Western Conference games are totally out of focus, and the ratings of this season will definitely drop.
The Lakers can't hold it any more. The fans on the Internet are scolding. No one will support them, except for brain damage. If the team won the championship, would someone like it?
The League directly imposed a one season ban on Vujacic, and Haslem, who hit people, was only suspended for five games plus a fine.
Stern said in an interview: ”this is a malicious foul against the league's first star, one of the worst fouls in NBA history, and must be severely punished! The pistons, known as the bad boys in the '80s, didn't have a substitute to break Jordan's leg
Missing a few teeth, swollen face and a little concussion, Vujacic got the news in the hospital, and he was stupid. After consulting with his agent, he realized what a stupid thing he had done.
He quickly came out to apologize, saying that he was not intentional, or that he wanted to stop Guo Xu from layup at that time. No one believes this is a malicious foul. It is clear from the video that it is not possible to stop the car. It's only right to knock people down when they can't stop the car. It's clear that they are aiming at the disabled people by lowering the center of gravity to the knee.
A one-year ban is only an obvious punishment. In fact, stern will let Vujacic go.
Vujacic was the 27th rookie in the first round of 2004. He played for the Lakers for three years. He was a marginal player. Because the Lakers chose Ellis in 2005, he rarely played. This season, he averaged 8.6 minutes per game, scoring 2.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.6 assists and a shooting percentage of 40%.
If a marginal player is suspended for the whole season, which team will want him in the future? The four-year contract the Lakers signed with him expired, and they couldn't be traded.
The league is also a hint to all teams that this product has been blacklisted. All teams can't sign him. If they sign, they will be suppressed. How can a team be stupid enough to fight against the president for a marginal person?
Vujacic didn't expect things to develop like this. He thought that his severe foul on Guo Xu could be remembered. Later, he would be better off in the name of ”defensive hero” and ”evil man”. He didn't expect to hit so much.
If you want to show tough with fouls, it doesn't matter if you choose an ordinary all star with no popularity, such as Tony Parker. Anyway, he often makes background boards, and fans are used to it. (Parker: what
The pistons fouled Jordan fiercely in those years before Jordan won the championship. At that time, Jordan was not the first person in the league. After the establishment of the bull Dynasty in the 1990s, anyone who broke Jordan's bone would die miserably.
At that time, there were not many NBA broadcasts. Now it is the era of information explosion. The significance is completely different. The official website of NBA is almost paralyzed by fans.
Even if Vujacic was suspended for a year and was carried out on the court by a punch, the Potters were still not satisfied. Vujacic had better leave the United States and flee back to Slovenia as soon as possible. Otherwise, he may be attacked when he goes to the street. Being beaten is light. Many Americans have guns.
Many media wanted to interview Guo Xu. He held a press conference the next night and arrived at the scene in a wheelchair.
Guo Xuyi will never forgive him! Because this kind of inferior character person should not become a professional player in any country, any place
Reporter asked: ”Vujacic said he didn't mean to, what do you think?”
