Chapter 571: One punch to the end?(1/2)
People will do many things that they regret in this life, but unfortunately there is everything in this world, but there is no regret medicine.
So the final result is: no matter who you are, how rich you are, or how distinguished your status is, as long as you make a choice, you must welcome the consequences of the choice.
When it's a good thing, it's enjoyment, and when it's a bad thing, it's...
Suffer.
James felt a messy and powerful punch coming towards him. The second before he was hit, his mind was filled with the word "regret".
Why did he step forward to pull Pachulia this time!
Pachulia has done so many bad things, and even if she stood up for him, it is quite reasonable for her to be beaten!
But the next second, he felt like he had hit a speeding train.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, his mind went blank for a brief moment.
Then, when he regained consciousness, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Then, he lost consciousness again.
This is James' perspective, and the perspective of others is that in their horrified expressions, Johnson knocked down James with one punch!
James' huge body felt like it was struck by lightning, and then he fell straight to the floor.
The Oracle Arena was silent for a moment, and everyone on the court and on the sidelines stared wide-eyed.
Lin Ying and Durant also looked stunned.
They didn't expect that things would develop like this.
They just wanted Johnson to beat James, and now it's a direct KO!
This scene is more shocking than when Lin Yingwei shocked San Antonio!
But let alone them, Johnson himself was also confused.
He was preparing to teach Pachulia a harsh lesson, but he aimed at Pachulia's back.
As a boxer, of course he knew what would happen if he hit someone in the head without wearing gloves.
This is much more serious than stepping on your feet or something.
But he didn't expect James to come up, even if he consciously wanted to withdraw his punch, it was already too late.
So this was...an accidental attack.
But even if it is an accidental injury, the consequences are very serious.
Because James, who fell to the ground, had obviously lost consciousness, but still twitched on the ground in response to his body's instinctive reaction.
It's like when you kill a fish, you throw the fish to the ground and the fish still twitches.
Johnson swallowed, and the thought that came to his mind now was: Could he have beaten James to death?
Others at the scene reacted quickly after the initial shock. The Nets players quickly pulled Johnson away, because they were really worried about him going up to make a last-hit shot.
The Warriors' team doctor quickly came on the scene to check on James.
After a while, panicked staff already found a stretcher, and James was quickly put on the stretcher and rushed to the doctor.
When the staff of the arena were cleaning the floor, they didn't know whether it was red, white, or liquid like mucus, everyone felt a chill down their spines and shuddered unconsciously.
Johnson has been ejected, and the following game no longer seems to be the focus of fans' attention.
Even on social media, fans are discussing what just happened during the game, not the game itself.
Before the game ended, social media finally had first-hand information about James.
This information is good news, but it’s scary when you look at it:
James, his life is not in danger.
There is no more specific news yet.
But this is shocking enough.
After all, this is the first time most people have seen NBA news associated with the word "life-threatening."
This also aroused heated discussion among fans.
Although it can be seen from the game replays that Johnson was injured accidentally, punching on the basketball court is a malicious move in itself.
Some people are calling for Johnson to be banned for life, while others have upgraded Johnson from "the number one player in the NBA that dare not mess with" to "the number one villain in the NBA".
Amid the discussion of the fans, the G4 finals also came to an end.
James' injury and retirement made the game lose its suspense. In the Western Conference Finals, he defeated the Spurs' Warriors by cheating, and he also tasted the feeling of being cheated.
And not long after the game ended, there was further news about James' situation.
James suffered a severe concussion and trauma and was retired for the season.
And according to follow-up reports, James suffered a very similar experience to Tomjanovich.
He regained consciousness for a while while being taken to the hospital, and his first reaction was the bitter taste in his mouth that still didn't go away.
Then his reaction made the Warriors team doctor break into a cold sweat.
This was also part of the story when Tomjanovich was knocked out with a punch and was said to be the worst thing in the NBA.
The source of this bitter taste is the brain!
This means that James's situation is the same as that of Tomjanovich, his brains were knocked out...
As soon as the news broke, it caused an uproar.
Although I guessed from the situation at the scene that the situation would not be too good, when I actually heard the news, I was still very shocked.
Moreover, James' absence has completely eliminated any suspense in the Finals, which was already leaning toward the Nets.
In "Naruto", Matt Kai almost kicked out the finale. That was a close call. Johnson's punch really directly kicked off the finale!
It is basically a certainty that the Nets will defend their title.
However, this result completely detonated social media.
Many fans believe that the Nets used "extremely dirty" methods and were completely "defeated". Some even rated this as the "lowest gold-rich championship in NBA history".
However, if there are fans who are disparaging, there will naturally be fans who are refuting.
"Is it honorable for Pachulia to step on Leonard? At that time, you said it was a friendly injury. Isn't Johnson's friendly injury more obvious?"
"Here we go again, double-standard dog, and the reason why Johnson punched was not because he was stepped on?"
"Hey, don't make it sound like the Warriors are leading if James is not injured? It's the Warriors who are lagging behind if James is not injured? In the last game, the Nets were almost leading by double digits before James retired from injury!"
…
Before the G5 game, news about James continued to break out.
Thanks to his excellent physical fitness, James' current situation is a little better than that of Tomjanovich, but only a little better.
After all, human muscles don't grow on the head.
Not only did James need concussion treatment, but he also needed some facial surgery.
But the good news is that James' physical fitness is indeed strong, and with the advancement of modern medicine, retirement due to injury will never happen.
Judging from the current situation, although it is serious, it is estimated that it will take a summer to recover and that he will be able to return after missing one or two months before the season at most.
Then the results of Johnson's punishment also came out.
As the fans said, although this was essentially a "accidental injury," Johnson's punching character was very bad.
The league finally suspended Johnson for 50 games.
For comparison, Kermit Washington, who also punched Tomjanovich, was suspended for 60 games. It was also an accidental injury.
This is the most severe suspension the league has issued since the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
For a player of Johnson's level, this can almost be said to have ended Johnson's career prematurely!
Especially since Johnson is still a free agent, with such a bad reputation, it will be a big question whether any team will sign him.
You must know that the NBA is also good at treating players coldly. Although Artest came back that year, his status in the league plummeted.
…
"James's loss is a bit big now."
In the training hall of Barclays Center, Durant and Lin Ying were chatting.
The James in his mouth still refers to Johnson.
Although what happened next had nothing to do with them, if they hadn't asked Johnson to do it, this thing wouldn't have happened.
"The main thing is that his fists are too hard."
Lin Ying was also filled with emotion.
It's not like James hasn't been fucked before, Chandler's punch was also very sensational.
To be continued...
