Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three Rotation Storm(2/2)
But this time, without Green, the Warriors defeated the Clippers in the third quarter.
After experiencing the double embarrassing situation of "missing to win and coming back to lose" in last season's finals, now he is faced with the "whoever wins but is not in the game is embarrassed" situation again.
Then, the league punished the Warriors after the game, and they were fined $100,000.
This punishment is very severe.
However, the Warriors' purpose in doing this is obviously not just to bring trouble to themselves.
After being punished, the Warriors official Twitter quickly posted a status: They are also resting players, why are the results different?
They directly mentioned the word "rest" and admitted that Green's treatment was "rest".
In other words, what they want is [fairness].
This approach eventually received a response from the league.
Because if this farce continues, the brand of the NBA will be damaged.
You must know that the four major sports leagues in North America also compete with each other, and the influence of the NBA only ranks low among the four major leagues.
So the league introduced a ban on resting.
"No team is allowed to rest during the game without any reason, including reasons for resting that cannot be certified by a medical certificate."
This wave can be regarded as a blow to the rotation, and it also shows that the league wants to calm down this matter.
But doing so will bring about a huge response.
For example, on this day, the Nets played against the Magic. Originally, according to the team plan, Durant would take a rest in this game. He did have some muscle soreness, but this cannot be medically proven!
This made Durant complain to Lin Ying during training.
Lin Ying also felt that the alliance's approach in this matter was not thorough.
Because the rest itself is definitely needed, and not everyone has the physique to play a full 82 games.
Especially last year, when the Warriors rushed for 73 wins, Curry was overtired and injured in the first round, which ultimately led to the finals being less enjoyable to watch.
This is a loss for both the Warriors and the league.
And since the league has this rule, the Nets can't just let Durant play for a few minutes and then take a rest.
Because although doing so does not violate the rules, it is obviously going against the alliance.
"This should be just a temporary decision. There should be protests from the team and then some adjustments will be made."
Lin Ying thought about it and said.
If nothing unexpected happens, things should go as Lin Ying said.
That night, the game between the Nets and Magic started in Orlando.
Durant, who was originally scheduled to take a rest, was also forced to play.
Then, if nothing else, the unexpected happened.
Durant was very impatient during the game. After a physical entanglement with Lopez, he expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.
After the referee gave the warning whistle, he continued to chatter and finally received a technical foul.
Then after being dragged back to the bench by his teammates, he stood up and sprayed at the referee.
With nearly 20 years of keyboarding career, I can get into the groove very quickly.
This time the referee couldn't bear it anymore and directly gave another technical foul.
Durant received two technical fouls in a row and was directly ejected.
Then, Durant smiled.
It looked like a disdainful smile at the referee, but it also looked like a...successful smile.
The referee was stunned for a moment and then realized, good guy, Durant is obviously looking for a whistle!
The league didn't allow him to rest, and the Nets couldn't openly confront the league. Then Durant showed his wit and asked for expulsion!
In this way, apart from being fined a little money after the game and accumulating two technical fouls, there is no other loss!
Lin Ying also came to his senses.
It has to be said that Durant's operation can score nine points.
The missing point was because he was not told in advance before the game.
Durant's absence did not have much impact on the game.
After successfully defeating the Magic, the Nets won their first 20 consecutive victories!
This wave is called rest, rest, and I have played many tricks, but I can still win.
Of course, the direct effect of this wave of operations is to bring forward what Lin Ying said.
Without the need for other teams to protest to the league, Durant's operation directly caused the league to modify the previous rules.
"No team is allowed to rest without any reason in a game broadcast live in the United States, nor is it allowed to rest more than three or more players in all games. This includes reasons for resting that cannot be medically certified."
There are a few more words, but the meaning is completely different.
Moreover, it is obviously more realistic.
