From today on is the king

Chapter 638 637. Feeling cheated by feelings
Returning to Atlanta from New Jersey, Liu Mang followed his teammates and received a warm welcome from the Eagles fans at the airport. Liu Mang's rhetoric, coupled with back-to-back kills of the Pacers and Nets, especially the 37-point win over the Nets, made the Eagles fans outraged.

Although there were some frictions in the game against the Nets, the Eagles players did not hesitate, did not suffer losses, and even won the game. Instead of blaming their team for the players fighting each other, the Eagles fans were very excited about their team's "bloodiness".

Of course, fighting is always bad, and the Eagles’ own fans support their team so much. Except for the Eagles, the local media also use relatively positive words to guide the public opinion of local fans, which is different in other places.

In any case, fighting is bad behavior, and the league was furious. As the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, there was actually such a bad incident as a fight on the national live broadcast. Compared with the poor version of the Palace of Auburn Hills incident in Liu Mang's rookie season, this time the opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals in the past two years obviously received more attention, and the negative impact they brought was higher.

The league's penalties came the morning the Hawks returned to Atlanta.

Liu Mang and Kidd are fine, although they elbowed each other, they didn’t really fight, and the suspension also depends on the person. Liu Mang and Kidd are both balloon stars, especially Liu Mang’s popularity has exploded recently, and they are already the top scorer. Liu Mang was suspended for two games and fined $[-]. Kidd was suspended for one game and fined $[-].

Who told Liu Mang to react too violently, and directly knocked Kidd to the ground. It seemed that Liu Mang's actions were rougher, and Liu Mang's punishment was more serious. In addition, the fine was more money, and the less suspension seemed severe.

Kwame Brown was not suspended, but received a stern warning from the league and was fined $[-].

Stockton, Jason Terry, Richard Jefferson, Rodney Rogers and others also received warnings and were fined $3000.

Barnes was suspended for four games and fined $[-]. He also did it. As far as his violent temper was concerned, he couldn't just watch when he started fighting. People's eyes were on Rasheed Wallace and Kenyon Martin. He directly threw a hug to Jason Collins who wanted to fight. After the game, knowing that he had hit the wrong person, he went to Jason Collins to apologize.

Kittles was suspended for two games and fined $1. After Barnes hugged Jason Collins, he went to fight Barnes. They both punched each other and were pulled away.

In the video researched by the alliance, those who had explicit actions were suspended, and those who had strong conflicts were warned.

The punishment for these people is considered light, and the two guys who really fight will be punished the most severely!It can be said that it is the most severe punishment since Sprewell chokes the head coach.

Rasheed Wallace and Kenyon Martin were the protagonists of the real brawl later, and Rasheed Wallace was suspended for 10 games and fined $[-].

Kenyon Martin was even worse, suspended for 15 games and fined $[-].

These two are players with a very bad reputation, and they have been used as models!
……

……

It's a good time to fight...

After the Hawks players returned to Atlanta in the morning, they were immediately taken back to the arena by the coaching staff, and then they were once again scolded by owner Price and head coach Ron Kruger.

Although Price is not a strict boss, he holds the power of life and death for everyone on the team. He is usually very gentle and turns a blind eye to non-principled issues, but fighting on the court definitely touches on issues of principle, especially after the team shouted that they would become the strongest team in the new century.

Liu Mang has this kind of ambition, rushing to build a dynasty. Although Price is scared, he is only a man in his 40s. Maybe an athlete in his 40s is an old man, but as a person, he is in his 40s.

Now that Price finally sees a chance to make a career out of it, the Eagles shouted loudly and killed the Pacers and the Nets one after another. They got into a fight with a lead of more than 30 points, resulting in the suspension of three players, all of whom were very important players of the team.

After Price finished scolding, he went to make guarantees and explanations to his family. Coach Kruger also had to convene the coaching staff to make tactical adjustments during the suspension of Rasheed Wallace, the team's inside defensive gate for the next 10 games.

Liu Mang's two-game suspension is okay, only two games, and Barnes' suspension is not a big problem, just let Raheem and Prince play more. Rasheed Wallace's suspension here has a huge impact on the overall strength of the Eagles!
……

"Ace, we seem to have really messed up this time." Rasheed Wallace said weakly next to Liu Mang.

Seeing Rasheed Wallace with a bandit face but weak like a little daughter-in-law, Liu Mang quickly pushed this guy away: "Rashid, you won't be traded, don't be so disgusting!"

Stockton came up to comfort and said: "Rashid, don't worry, the management can see how you restrained your temper this year. You only made three technical fouls this year, right? Don't worry, Ace and Sharif were joking with you last night."

Last night, Rasheed Wallace was so scared by Liu Mang and Raheem that he couldn't sleep all night. When he woke up in the morning, he had big dark circles under his eyes. It was not easy to see the dark circles on such a dark face.

Rasheed Wallace is still very worried, but the atmosphere in the team is very gloomy now, and he can't find anyone to talk to, so he can only go home and read a book, continue to cultivate his sentiments, and control his temper better.

Seeing the seriousness of the management and coaching staff today, taking the plane in the morning, and returning to the arena in Atlanta with black faces all the way, the Eagles players also feel that things are more serious than they imagined!
Last night when the fight was won and the game was also won, the Eagles players including Liu Mang were quite excited and proud, but only now did I realize that it was fun at the time, and now the consequences are very serious!
But most of the people are fine. Speaking of which, Barnes may be the one who was most affected!
Rasheed Wallace is ready to go home and read books to cultivate his sentiments. Kwame Brown and Stockton were only fined but not suspended. The two of them, one the No. 21 pick and the [-]st-year veteran, don’t care about the thousands of dollars.

The teammates left one after another, and Liu Mang was about to go home, but seeing that Barnes hadn't left, Liu Mang went over and asked why.

After learning about it, I realized that Barnes, as the bottom player in the league, had a much worse life than Liu Mang did back then.

Barnes is still holding a contract with a base salary of $72 for the second year. This season, the entire season is just over $40. To support his family, a bunch of relatives in his family pointed at him to give him money. Although the cost of a poor family is not high, it is still a big expense. Half of the annual salary has to be sent home.

Barnes himself became an NBA player. It was the first time he earned so much money. He didn’t have any restraint. He sent half of his salary to his family.

This time, he was suspended for four games, lost his salary for four games, and was fined $[-]...

Barnes was suspended and fined so severely, purely because of his appearance. His appearance and personality are too unpleasing to the league. He is purely a villain, so even if he beat the wrong person after the game and went to apologize, he seems to be a person who admits his mistakes clearly, and he is still regarded as a typical heavy punishment.

This is not the key issue, the key issue is his next contract!
After finally gaining a firm foothold in the NBA and becoming a member of the Eagles' rotation, he has also been favored by many teams with his active and hard-working style of play, and has a certain market, but in this critical contract year, something like this happened.

Seeing that Barnes was so depressed, Liu Mang went up to comfort him and said, "Okay, Matt, it's okay to be suspended. I will help you pay the suspension fine and the league fine! You are the best perimeter defensive player on our bench, cheer me up!"

The boss will help pay the fine!
It's a good feeling!

"Boss, thank you so much!" Barnes said touchingly while holding Liu Mang's hand.

next contract?Take care of the important things now!

People will associate one bad thing with more bad things, mainly because the first bad thing happened, but if someone solves the first bad thing, all the subsequent problems will be unthinkable, let alone black people with straight heads.

Liu Mang saw Barnes instantly change from depression to surprise, his expression changed as fast as Sichuan's, and instantly felt a flock of crows flying over his head...

Damn!Why does Liu Mang feel like he has been cheated out of his feelings?Wait, what did I just say?Help pay the fine?Barnes' four-game suspension fined the team almost $[-], the league fined $[-], and $[-] was gone!
