System: I am always awesome in the NBA

Chapter 228

Some fans also analyzed it from a technical perspective.

They believe that although Lin Hao's three-point shooting is better than Jordan's, his mid-range shooting is not good.

This season, his mid-range shots are far less than his drives and three-pointers.

The mid-range shot is currently the most common scoring method in the NBA.

After the analysis of these rational fans, Lin Hao's popularity has slightly decreased.

……

At this time, Stern was convening a management meeting overnight to discuss the penalty decision for this game.

"I think Bruce should be suspended for three games for the flagrant foul. Odom should be suspended for six games for being involved in the fight."

NBA President of Operations Byron Spruell said.

As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar.

"Byron, the penalty for the Lakers is too harsh!"

Stern frowned.

“Not only is it not heavy, I think it’s light!”

"As the president, you are aware of how bad their behavior is, right?"

"Especially Vujacic and Kwame Brown, they are not players on the court, how dare they leave the bench and participate in the fight!"

Spruill was excited.

(Note: NBA regulations stipulate that non-players who leave the bench and participate in a fight or conflict will be subject to severe penalties.

In 2007, the Suns' Stoudemire and Diaw were suspended for one game simply for leaving the bench, causing them to miss a crucial decisive game.

"But they have their reasons! Bruce Leopard's behavior is too bad..."

Xiao Hua said.

"Rules are rules! There are no extenuating circumstances!"

Before he could finish, Spruill interrupted him.

"Byron, you have to understand how important Odom and the other two are to the Lakers! Without them, the Lakers are very likely to lose the next game."

Xiao Hua said excitedly.

"Is this the reason for their lenient punishment?"

"I know you all favor that Chinese player and want him to make it to the finals."

"But we can't destroy the alliance's system because of this!"

Spruill argued convincingly.

The meeting place suddenly fell into silence.

Silver and others really wanted to help the Lakers, but were left speechless by his rebuttal.

In the end, it was Stern who stood up.

He considered it and said slowly:

"You should know that in this series between the Lakers and the Spurs, the winning team has almost locked up the Western Conference championship."

"And the Eastern Conference champion is very likely to be the Pistons."

"If the championship becomes the Spurs vs. the Pistons, will our ratings still be there?"

He truly deserves to be the president!

It only took three sentences to convince Spruill.

In Lin Hao's previous life, the Spurs and Pistons met in the finals in the 04-05 season.

Both teams are defensive teams, the game was low-scoring, the offense was ugly, the game was rather dull, and the average audience was only 1254 million.

"David is right! We must not let this happen."

"Lin Hao is the All-Star vote leader, and Kobe is also the most popular. Even if it violates the rules, we must get the Lakers into the finals!"

Xiao Hua said passionately.

After discussion, the punishment result was quickly announced.

Spurs' Bruce Leopard committed a flagrant foul and was suspended for 2 games.

Odom was involved in a fight and was suspended for three games.

The offenses of Vujacic and Kwame Brown were more serious and they were suspended for four games.

"Lin, I can only do so much for you. Whether we can make it to the finals depends on you!"

Stern sighed.

When the penalty was announced, there was an uproar in the outside world.

Originally everyone thought that the Lakers were almost certain to win this series.

But now, the balance of victory is tilting sharply towards the Spurs.
