The rise of basketball legends

Chapter 135 Punishment results, new regulations promulgated as a stepping stone!

Vince Carter was the first NBA player to publicly denounce Bowen on social media.

"Obviously, the fuse of this incident was Bowen. His stepping behavior angered Chen. This is not the first time Bowen has done this kind of thing, and I believe it will not be the last time. I hope the league can Give him the punishment he deserves."

For Bowen's stepping, Carter is estimated to be the player with the most say in the league. Bowen has played against Carter many times.

In 2000, Carter sprained his ankle because of Bowen's step in the Raptors.

In 2004, Bowen even pushed Carter to be reimbursed for the season!

Carter's athletic ability has declined significantly since his return from injury.

The most classic one is after Carter returned to the Nets in 2005, Bowen once again stretched his evil stinky feet under Carter when he made a three-point jumper.

But this time Carter was smarter and adjusted his landing position in the air to avoid Bowen's black feet as much as possible.

After landing, Carter chased Bowen all over the field. If there were no referees to stop him, Bowen would have been beaten all over the place.

So in Carter's view, Chen Yan was not wrong, he just did what he always wanted to do.

Another all-star shooter, Szczerbiak, who was once kicked in the cheek by Bowen's flying dragon, also expressed his opinion immediately: "Bowen's movements have always been aimed at the useless. It's not iron blood, it's pure dirty!"

Iverson has always been known for just speaking, and he also expressed his feelings on social media after the incident: "Although Bowen was beaten, I don't think he is a victim."

The players unanimously pointed their finger at Bowen. This is a situation that David Stern likes to see. David Stern understands that only by transferring all the conflicts to Bowen can he alleviate the pressure on Chen Yan. punishment.

David Stern immediately convened an emergency internal meeting to discuss the punishment results of the Spurs and Suns participating in the conflict.

Soon, the results of the punishment for the Suns players came out.

Barea, Azubuike and Barnes were suspended for one game and fined $1 for unauthorized entry.

Stoudemire was suspended for two games and fined $15000 because of his involvement in the conflict and his large body movements.

Raja Bell was suspended for four games and fined $20000 for participating in the conflict and having large body movements.

Raja Bell was punished for the same reason as Stoudemire. The reason why he used the throat lock technique more often was that the nature was relatively bad.

Then came Chen Yan, the league decided to suspend him for four games and fine him an additional $30000.

KO three people in a row, only to be suspended for four games?

This punishment is obviously too light, but David - Stern also has his own view.

There is an essential difference between the conflict at the ATT Arena and the Palace of Auburn Hills incident and the Madison Garden incident.

There were no group fights in this conflict, nor did there appear to be bad scenes of beating the audience.

From a certain point of view, Chen Yan's KO also avoided further escalation of the conflict...

As long as all the participants were not blind, they could see that David Stern wanted to praise Chen Yan, and no one would make things difficult for the president, so naturally they did not raise any objections.

Next is the punishment for the Spurs players.

Manu Ginobili and Robert Horry were each suspended one game and fined $10000 for their involvement in the on-court altercation.

The last player to announce a penalty was Bowen, who was suspended for 3 games and fined $20000.

David Stern's explanation for this is that Bowen's attempt to step on his feet was the fuse of this conflict and must be severely punished!

Then, David Stern asked Adam Silver to take out a "New Regulations on Stepping Punishment" that he personally drafted.

David Stern meant to take this conflict as a warning to avoid more court conflicts caused by stepping in the future.

That night, the NBA announced the punishment for the conflict.

Chen Yan was banned for four games for KO. The Suns felt that the penalty was reasonable and did not appeal.

In addition, the Suns management stated that they would pay fines for the punished players.

This amount of money is not a problem for the management, but in the eyes of the players, this approach is very heartwarming.

This is not to encourage conflict on the field, but to unite the team. If you have to pay for your teammates to help your teammates, it will chill the hearts of the players.

Especially for basic-salary role players like Barea and Azubuike, whose annual after-tax salary is hundreds of thousands of dollars, the team must consider these players.

The Spurs frantically appealed to the league. They could not accept that Bowen would face a three-game suspension after being headshot + blowout.

The league quickly gave a corresponding explanation, and officially released the "New Regulations on Stepping Penalties"!

The content of the new regulation is as follows: When the shooter initiates a shot, the defensive player must leave enough space for the shooter to settle down. Penalties for technical fouls or flagrant fouls.

This policy increases the intensity of such fouls and can protect players to a certain extent, but it is difficult to prevent the occurrence of such actions as stepping.

Because it is difficult to distinguish intentional stepping from unintentional, Bowen made it so obvious and unscrupulous today because he was anxious.

But in general, the promulgation of this new regulation will more or less provide some protection for players, which is what every player who works hard in the NBA is willing to see.

Bowen saw that the appeal was fruitless, so he changed a route and began to sell miserably.

He posted a selfie on social media showing him lying in a hospital bed with a bandage on his head.

However, his tragic situation did not get the sympathy of the fans.

"Bowen, are you still alive?"

"I think Chen is playing lightly, this guy still has the strength to take a selfie!"

"May heaven have no stepping feet."

"Hahaha, the day when the new rules of stepping are introduced is when Bowen retires."

In the end, Bowen had no choice but to delete this selfie with tears in his eyes. He had already been physically attacked by Chen Yan on the court, and he didn't want to be mentally attacked by fans on social networks.

This stadium conflict incident did not affect Chen Yan's reputation. On the contrary, he even expanded his endorsement channels. Many boxing glove manufacturers came to him and asked Chen Yan to be their spokesperson!

However, Chen Yan refused all of them, and the incident was finally calmed down. He didn't want the merchants to use him to make things worse.
